英銘老師：很多同學看到句意解析的題型常常會心生疑懼，其實句意解析的解題並不難，只要參照以下的步驟，就可以輕鬆的掌握句意解析的內容取得分數。
Step 1：瀏覽句意，找出主結構，it是虛主詞，名詞子句才是真主詞：“the obsessive English could be traced back to the country’s papers” (過分關心的英國人可以從這國家的報紙找出根源)。
補充：
obsessive adj. 使人著迷的、過分關心的 (often)

Nicholas對跳傘到了癡迷的程度。

trace back 追溯 (often)
This tradition has been traced back to the Middle Age.
這個傳統的起源可追溯至中世紀。
Step 2：形容詞子句“concern with high status and aristocracy”(與崇高的地位和貴族有關)修飾名詞“the obsessive English”。合併之後→從報紙可得知，英國人之所以過分關心，與崇高的地位和貴族有關。
補充：
status n. 地位、情況 (always)

aristocracy n. 貴族 (sometimes)

Step 3：形容詞子句“which daily enforced messages about the prestige of the titled and the famous.”(因為報紙每天強制刊登，一些關於有頭銜及有名的人的聲望的訊息)修飾主要子句。合併之後à從報紙可得知，英國人之所以過分關心，與崇高的地位和貴族有關的新聞，是因為報紙每天強制刊登，一些關於有頭銜及有名的人的聲望的訊息。背後的含意：英國人過分關心貴族的生活，是因為報紙每天都在刊登相關的新聞。
補充：
enforce v. 強制執行、堅持 (always)
