However, one major problem is going to be the integration of Mexico, a country that for decades has seemed to be on the verge of joining the developed world, into union with Canada and the United Stats. 本句中的长长的名词短语“the integration of Mexico into union with Canada and the United States”被说明Mexico的长长的插入语分离了。从语法上说，这个插入语是Mexico的同位语，但是从逻辑上分析，它讲了为什么NAFTA不愿意接纳墨西哥的原因。全句可译作“作是，主要的麻烦是要把墨西哥纳入美国和加拿大的联盟，因为，几十年月日来墨西哥似乎可以加入发达世界行列但是一直未能奏效。” ?? (6)有此定语从句可以表达条件状语从句的意义。 He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.
