1.Tens of thousands of protesters have gathered in the Albanian capital, calling for a recount of last year's parliamentary elections which they claim were rigged. They have come out in support of hunger strikers who have been camped outside the prime minister's office in Tirana for the past two weeks.
先看前面一句。主干是前面半部分。calling for是现在分词做伴随状语。伴随状语一般都可以改为并列的谓语,例如这一句可以改为:have gathered and called for……which they claim were rigged是定语从句,修饰parliamentary elections.
后面一句主干是They have come out。in support of是目的状语。who have been是定语从句,修饰hunger strikers。
