请先精读下面句子,翻译,再分析句型结构:

背景:人类大脑是不是有其局限性

There was a presentation looking at how it is that our brains, which were designed for operating in the savannah, can also be good at other things.

核心词汇:

presentation /ˌpreznˈteɪʃn/ n. 演示;提交;出示;颁发;(戏剧等的)上演,演出;授予;颁奖仪式;介绍会;展示会

savannah /səˈvænə/ n. (尤指非洲的)稀树草原

句型及句子成分分析:

这是一个简单句,包含there be句型+定语

1. 主句:there be句型(存现句)

There was a presentation

There:存在句引导词

was:系动词

a presentation:存在主语

2. 定语:

现在分词短语looking at……at other things.

显然,There be句型在高级英语里,后置定语可能会相当复杂:

3. 宾语从句:(强调句

how it is that...是look at的宾语从句;

it is …… that……,强调方式状语how:人类大脑是如何才能做到

从句主语:our brains

从句谓语(系表):can also be good at other things

方式状语:how

4. 非限制性定语从句(主谓句型):

which …… savannah修饰从句主语our brains

参考译文:

有一个演讲探讨了这样一个问题:我们的大脑原本是为了适应热带草原环境而进化的,但它为何也能在其他方面表现出色。
