【摘要】2013年英语六级考试即将来临，威廉希尔app 小编为大家整理阅读难句理解, 供大家备考。
There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. ( Passage 1)
主干：There was a time
本句是个存在句，主语a time由when引导的定语从句修饰。“about+what”引导的宾语从句构成介词短语，作stories的后置定语在该宾语从句中，it是形式主语，后面的不定式短语to work...是真正的主语。dominated...作a field的后置定语。
译文：我生活中有那么一段时间人们老是问我，供职于一个男性占主导地位的领域感觉如何。
The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls "free writing." (07.6 Passage 2)
主干：The practice...is what...
定语从句that can...修饰主语The practice,从句中的介词短语 past your...habits作宾语you的补语，as you write引导的时间状语从句修饰trying to edite。what引导的表语从句中用了“call+宾语+补语”的结构，what是宾语，free writing是补语。
译文：这种可以帮助你克服在写作的同时就试图编辑的坏习惯的做法便是Elbow所称作的“自由式”写作。
