长难句
原文： One constant throughout the original nine seasons of“The X Files”,a globally syndicated American television show about a pair of FBI special agents assigned to weird cases,is a poster in the background.
译文：《X档案》是一部全球联合播出的美 剧，讲述的是一对联邦调查局特工被 派去处理奇怪案件的故事。在最初的 九季里，背景中的一张海报从未变 过。
分析：
本句的主句是“One constantis a posterin the background”，“throughout the original nine seasons of “The X Files””是 介词短语作状语，“a globally syndicated American television show…” 是“The X Files”的同位语，其中 “assigned to weird cases”是过去分词作 定语。
原文： So badly did they want to believe in the abilitige Anaes of Cambridlytica, or of the Russian state, or the maleficence of their political foes, or in the conspiracies that joined these elements together, that they failed to accept reality.
