PROMOTING CULTURE THROUGH DIGITAL① IMAGES②
Lanzhou,9 August 2017.A group of researchers and scientists from China and other countries are working together to help increase③ knowledge and appreciation④ of China's ancient cultural heritage.They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics from the Mogao Caves⑤,which were a key stop⑥ along the Silk Road throughout⑦ China's ancient history.Nearly 500,000 highquality⑧ digital photographs have been produced since the international project started in 1994.
which were a key stop...是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰the Mogao Caves。
since引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时,主句用现在完成时(have been produced)。
The Mogao Caves have long been a meeting point for different cultures and are part of the history of many countries.Today,the caves are just as international as they were at the time when people travelled the Silk Road.Tourists from all over the world⑨ visit Dunhuang to see the caves,and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles has even reproduced⑩ a copy of the caves and paintings for people to admire⑪ in America.
as...as...“像/和……一样”,表示同级比较,两个as之间常使用形容词或副词的原级。
when people travelled the Silk Road是when引导的定语从句,修饰the time,when在从句中作时间状语。
By sharing so many digital photos over the Internet,the group hopes to promote even⑫ wider interest around the world in China's ancient history, culture,and traditions⑬. They also hope to further⑭ educate people about the importance of safeguarding⑮ historic⑯ and cultural relics for future generations to understand and appreciate. As one researcher who is working on the project explains,“Appreciating one's own cultural heritage is very important for understanding oneself.Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.”
who is working on the project是who引导的定语从句,修饰one researcher,who在从句中作主语,不能省略。
两句都是动名词短语作主语。单个的动名词短语作主语时,谓语
