问答题

【正确答案】科菲和同事们通过测量大脑周围脑脊液的体积而测算出大脑皮层的萎缩程度。脑脊液越多,脑皮层萎缩得就越多。
【答案解析】[结构分析] 句子框架是Coffey and colleagues gauged shrinkage of the cortex by measuring the cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液)surrounding the brain.The greater the amount of fluid, the greater the cortical(脑皮层的)shrinkage。前一句是个简单句,直译即可,其中介词by引导的部分作方式状语;surrounding the brain现在分词作定语修饰fluid;后一句是the more...,the more...句型。
