　　長難句分析

　　原句：（第四段倒數(shù)第二句）The woman first thought he was a missing pet in an advertisement she had seen.

　　譯文：這位女士最初以為它是自己在一則廣告中看到的走失的寵物。

　　分析：這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。he was a missing pet in an advertisement she had seen 是省略了引導(dǎo)詞that 的賓語從句，作thought的賓語：在該賓語從句中.she had seen是省略了引導(dǎo)詞 that或which的定語從句.修飾先行詞 an advertisement。
