复杂的宾语从句以及表语从句的拆分和理解 例76

例76　All we can hope today is that unbelievably dangerous powers of atomic weapons, which have been put into the hands of human beings by the development of modern science, will remain under control by responsible men and countries, and that evil terrorists will not release upon mankind the weapons that could extinguish not only mankind, but all life on earth.

【结构分析】这句话主干是All we can hope today is...，后面是两个并列的表语从句，第一个表语从句是that unbelievably dangerous powers of atomic weapons will remain under control by responsible men and countries，其中有插入语which have been put into the hands of human beings by the development of modern science，第二个表语从句是that evil terrorists will not release upon mankind the weapons...，其中有定语从句that could extinguish not only mankind, but all life on earth。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于两个超级的并列的表语从句，其中第一个表语从句有插入结构，第二个表语从句里面套上定语从句，两个表语从句都很有特色。
