例280 The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.
【結構分析】這句話是個并列句,由and連接。前半句的主語是The bodies,分詞短語playing major professional sport是對主語的修飾,have changed是謂語,dramatically over the years是狀語。后半句中,managers是主語,have been是謂語。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于并列句的超級使用,其中第一個并列句復雜在有分詞定語,第二個并列句復雜在有很長的賓語,是個of結構。
