there have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of inappropriate social　　relationships either between those who are involved and those who are　not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need，or　between those already satiated and those who appear to be shamelessly gorging.（5）
人們試圖對這些禁忌作出解釋，所依據(jù)的要么是那些正置身于某一身體需要滿足的人與那些并置身于某一身體需要之滿足的人之間的，要么是那些早已酒足飯飽的人與那些正在不知羞恥地狼吞虎咽失之間的不相稱的社會(huì)關(guān)系。
難句類型：復(fù)雜修飾、省略
解釋：前面的主架構(gòu)there have been attempts to explain these taboos很簡單，從in terms of inappropriate social relationships開始句子變難，ralationship后面跟著一個(gè)一直延續(xù)到句末的長長的修飾成分，其中有兩個(gè)固定搭配，either…or…和between…and…，不但如此，原文把這兩個(gè)搭配又套在一起，變成了either between…and…,or between…and…;再加上每一個(gè)between…and之后都是those who這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)，就愈發(fā)令人眼花繚亂了。
訓(xùn)練：there have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of inappropriate social　　relationships either between those who are involved and those who are　not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need，or　between those already satiated and　those who appear to be shamelessly gorging.
