【长难句解读】
原文 Citizenscienceisatermusedforprojectsorongoingprogramsofscientificworkinwhichindividualvolunteersornetworksofvolunteers,manyofwhommayhavenospecificscientifictraining,performormanageresearchrelatedtaskssuchasobservation,measurementorcomputation.
译文 公民科学用于指那些处理科学工作的工程或持续进行的项目,参与其中的是一些个人志愿者或志愿者群体,他们中许多人可能没有经过特定的科学训练,而执行或者管理与科学研究有关的一些任务,如观察、测量或计算。
分析 定语从句“inwhichindividualvolunteersornetworksofvolunteers...orcomputation”为限制性定语从句,修饰“projectsorongoingprogramsofscientificwork”,这一定语从句的主语“individualvolunteersornetworksofvolunteers”又被manyofwhom引导的非限制性定语从句修饰。
