难句解析

1. Unlike a film, where a passive audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen, RealCine puts you into the action and connects with your senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch in an active way. 1) 句中where引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词film。由于句中film并非指具体的某一部电影，而是指一个抽象的地点，因此这里只能用关系副词where，而不能用关系代词which。该定语从句中，谓语watches and hears后接一个由what引导的宾语从句。

2) 句中sight和smell都用作不可数名词，指视觉和嗅觉。

2. In reality, he is disabled and can no longer walk, but he was able to see and touch a lion while still in the convenience of the VR studio. 1) 句中while引导时间状语从句，该从句中承前省略了主语和谓语，完整形式为while he was still in the convenience of the VR studio。

2) 词组in reality的意思是“事实上，实际上”。如：

Henry always seems so confident, but in reality he is rather shy. 亨利看上去总是那么自信，但事实上他相当腼腆。

3. This kind of urban planning is in the long term cheaper and more practical, compared with the way most urban planning is done today. 句中compared with…是过去分词短语，用作比较状语；the way后接一个定语从句。
