　　今天的句子：

　　原文

　　The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.

　　翻译

　　特别是在以数学和实验室训练为基础的科学领域，这种倾向自然尤为明显，这可以通过英国的地质学发展过程得到证实。

　　解读

　　Step 1: 谓语动词was, can be

　　Step 2: 连接词and

　　1） 本句为并列结构，前半句较长需要用括号括出修饰成分，The trend was naturally most obvious (in those areas) (of science) (based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training)，其中based on …为过去分词做后置定语，修饰前方名词those areas of science;

　　2） 后半分句的主语依然为The trend，括号括出修饰语can be illustrated (in terms) (of the development) (of geology) (in the United Kingdom)，如果基础较好，也可以直接从后往前翻译。
