Those (forced to exercise their smiling muscles) reacted more enthusiastically to funny cartoons than did those (whose mouths were contracted in a frown), suggesting that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around.
语法语法点:
1)过去式一定作谓语。
2)those + 过去分词,过去分词作后置定语,相当于一个形容词。
3)than 比较状语从句(介词/连词)
4) 人+ whose 引导的就是定语从句
5)完整句子,doing something(suggesting)—-分词作状语
6)动词(及物动词)+宾语—that 引导宾语从句,作suggest
( forced to exercise their smiling muscles)Those reacted more enthusiastically to funny cartoons than did those (whose mouths were contracted in a frown)
主句:(修饰成分1) 那些人对于搞笑动画片的反应比(修饰成分2)那些人更强烈, suggesting that…(结果状语)
完整结构:主语 谓语 宾语 than 比较状语从句

2)than did those
分支部分:
第一个those 前面有一个过去分词作后置定语:(forced to exercise their smiling muscles)
第二个those 后面有一个whose 引导的定语从句 (whose mouths were contracted in a frown)
第三个分支:完整句子,doing something 作状语suggesting that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around.
第四个分支:分词作状语里面又嵌套了一个that 引导的的宾语从句
译文:那些被迫假笑的人对有趣的卡通的反应要比那些被迫皱眉撅嘴的人更为热烈,这说明了表情或许可以影响情感,而不仅仅是情感影响表情。
