Meanwhile there are steps you can take to help reduce abdominal fat and maintain lean muscle mass as you age in order to protect both your physical and mental well-being.(2021年,英语一,完型填空)
重点词汇:
① abdominal:腹部的;
② lean:瘦的;
③ physical:身体的;
④ well-being:健康;
分析:
该句的主干成分为there are steps,there为形式主语,steps为真正的主语,谓语为系动词are;steps后面跟一个定语从句对其进行修饰限定,省略了关系词that。从句中主语为you,后面用and并列连接了两个谓宾结构,and之前谓语为can take to help reduce ,宾语为abdominal fat;and之后谓语为maintain,宾语为lean muscle mass,mass后面为as引导的伴随状语修饰动词maintain,age后面为in order to引导的目的状语,修饰整个定语从句的目的。
