长难句日练20190811
【前文回顾：速看速决】
The gardens of the homeless, which are in effect homeless gardens, introduce form into an urban environment where it either didn’t exist or was not discernible as such. In so doing they give composure to a segment of the inarticulate environment in which they take their stand. Another urge or need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is so intrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us.
无家可归者的花园实际上就是无家之院，它将其形式引入都市环境中，而这种形式以前在都市中要么不存在，要么不那么容易辨识。这样一来，无家可归者就将宁静赋予了他们立足的那一小块难以名状的地方。这种花园似乎还在响应或源自于另一种愿望或需求，这种愿望或需求是与生俱来的以至于我们几乎没有意识到它长久以来的诉求。
When we are deprived of green, of plants, of trees, most of us give in to a demoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychological conditions, until one day we find ourselves in garden and feel the oppression vanish as if by magic.
当我们不再拥有绿色，植物和树的时候，我们大多数人会深陷于精神萎靡的状态，并常常将其归咎为一些心理状况，直到某天我们发现自己置身花园中，感到那些苦闷神奇的消失了。
【今日长难句：细读】
In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call arrangement of materials, an institution of colors, small pool of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.
【结构解析】
1. 本句主干为 the actual cultivation of plants/ is /unfeasible, yet even so/ the compositions/ often seem to represent/ attempts，是由yet连接的两个并列句。
2. to call arrangement of materials, an institution of colors, small pool of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals是不定式短语作后置定语修饰attempts;其中…of petals or leaves和…of stuffed animals又是由as well as连接的两个并列介词短语，修饰presence.
【词汇】
cultivation n. 培养，种植
unfeasible adj. 不可行的
composition n. 艺术作品，此句中指花园
represent vt. 代表
attempt n. 尝试
arrangement n. 安排
institution n. 建立，设立
petal n. 花瓣
stuffed 吃饱的，填满的

在纽约的大部分无家可归者的花园中，真正栽培植物是不可行的，但是即便如此，这些花园也经常看起来体现了人们的尝试——对于材料的布置，色彩的运用，一小池水，经常出现的花瓣、树叶以及吃的饱饱的动物。
