To make the situation worse,there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world’s population is in sight. Although the birthrate has dropped in some nations,including the United States,the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens.

使目前状况糟糕的是,至今尚无迹象表明,世界人口的增长在近期内会减慢。虽然包括美国在内的一些国家的出生率已经下降,但是在21世纪初世界人口似乎肯定会超过60亿,或许甚至超过70亿。

1. 首句主干:there is as yet no sign;修饰成分:to make the situation worse 修饰整句话;that any slowing of the world’s population is in sight 为同位语从句,表示sign的具体内容。

2. 二句主干为:the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion。修饰成分:although 引导让步状语从句;including the United States 修饰some nations;as the twenty-first century opens 为时间状语
