Part 2 课文预读
[原文呈现]
A DAY IN THE CLOUDS
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left,snowcovered① mountains disappear into② clouds that seem almost close enough to touch.On the plain③ in front of us,we can just make out④ a herd⑤ of graceful animals.This is why we're here—to observe⑥ Tibetan antelopes.
that seem almost close enough to touch是that引导的定语从句,修饰clouds,关系词在从句中作主语。
This is why...意为“这就是……的原因”,why后跟结果。

My guide is Zhaxi,a villager from Changtang.He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve.The reserve is a shelter⑩ for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet.To Zhaxi,the land is sacred⑪ and protecting the wildlife is a way of life.“We're not trying to save⑫ the animals,” he says.“Actually,we're trying to save ourselves.”
a villager from Changtang作Zhaxi的同位语。
动名词短语protecting the wildlife作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope.The population dropped by⑬ more than 50 percent.Hunters were shooting⑭ antelopes to make profits⑮.Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
as new roads and railways were built是as引导的原因状语从句,as表示“因为,由于”。
In order to save this species from⑯ extinction,th
