回顾

一直纠结understanding后边从句是什么，最后还是纠结错了，

Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.

生词

• culture war 文化战争
• middle ground 中间地带，中间立场
• immigration n. 移民
• multiple adj. 多样的；许多的；多重的
• outcome n. 结果
• accomplish v.完成，实现；达到
• the existing system 现有制度

解析

1. 找谓语动词：means/requires/are not
2. 断开：通过连接词that/that来断开长难句
   1. 【主句】句1：Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding
   2. 【宾从】句2：that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some
   3. 【定从】句3：that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
3. 重点：
   1. 主语：本句主语为Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong，比较长。
   2. 两个doing并列作宾语：本句opening up the middle ground 和 understanding…并列作句子的宾语。
   3. 从句：第一个that引导宾语从句，跟在及物动词understanding后。第二个that引导定语从句，修饰代词some（代词相当于名词用）。
4. 翻译：超越这种非对即错文化战争的逻辑，意味着要打开中间地带，并知晓当今的移民管理需要多种途径及多样结果，包括一些现有制度下通过法律难以达成的途径和结果。
