1、每日一句长难句（27）

NBAC will ask that Clinton's 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law.

2、【分析】

今天选择这个句子是为了理解一个语言现象：虚拟语气。主语是NBAC，谓语ask后面是两个并列的宾语从句。在第一个从句中，主语是Clinton's 90-day ban，谓语是be extended，ask表示“要求”，后面是虚拟语气的用法，即the 90-day ban should be extended，should被省略。在第二个从句中，it指代the ban on federal funds for human cloning， 谓语动词be前面也被省略should。

3、【词汇】

ask 要求（后面出现从句，谓语动词用should+动词原形，should可以省略）

ban 禁止

federal funds 联邦资金

indefinitely 无限制地

4、【译文】

NBAC会要求将克林顿所颁布的在90天内禁止联邦基金用于克隆人的禁令无限期地延续下去，还可能要求将之立法。

5、【明日长难句】

In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be “morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning.”
