看下下面两个句子。有很多从句,
定语从句比较明显看的出来。
宾语从句或主语从句,不是很是明显。
Reports that the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, will make a decision allowing its standing committee to make legislation strengthening national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have been like a testing kit for an anti-Beijing virus.
这个太长了,一下子看不出来。
其实是这样的:
Reports have been like a testing kit for an anti-Beijing virus.
reports 中间隔了很长。
Reports that the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, will make a decision allowing its standing committee to make legislation strengthening national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have been like a testing kit for an anti-Beijing virus.

Should the legislation be forthcoming, it will not only provide the necessary legal guarantee for the State to exercise its power to protect national security should the need arise, but will also be conducive to guaranteeing the SAR government has the ability to safeguard public order by helping it close the loopholes in its legal system and end its law enforcement disadvantages, which will better realize its autonomy rather than limit it.
the SAR government has the ability to safeguard public order 是guaranteeing的宾语从句,是不是有点不好认出来。
Should the legislation be forthcoming
和
should the need arise 是虚拟语气,
可以理解为
if the legislation should be forthcoming
if the need should arise
Should the legislation be forthcoming, it will not only provide the necessary legal guarantee for the State to exercise its power to protect national security should the need arise, but will also be conducive to guaranteeing the SAR government has the ability to safeguard public order by helping it close the loopholes in its legal system and end its law enforcement disadvantages, which will better realize its autonomy rather than limit it.
