Question

London, 2038.
The once great city lies in ruins, A massive, sinister gash in the fabric of our reality gnarls and churms, dominating the horizon as it blends into a permanently darkened sky. The unspeakable cataclysm that fefell London threathened to engulf the world as the shadow of the demons fell across the face of mankind..

fefell為befell才對。

Answer 1

你所列出的，應該有三句話，茲分別說明其結構如下（目前僅做結構分詞，我就不翻譯了）：


第一句：


The once great city (主詞)


lies (動詞) in ruins. (這裡是句點吧，此由後面的Ａ為大寫推測而得，原網站上也是句點。)


第二句（另起一句）:


A massive, sinister gash (主詞)


in the fabric of our reality (介係詞片與修飾主詞)


gnarls and churms (動詞),
這兩個是新詞，一般字點可能找不到，它們的意思不外乎是表示咆哮、聲音的吵雜喧囂等（請見以下附註）。


dominating (分詞片語。還原為：and dominates ;主詞仍是 gash)


the horizon (分詞片語的受詞)


as (副詞子句連接詞表示"when")


it (副詞子句主詞) blends (動詞)


into a permanently darkened sky.


第三句：


The unspeakable cataclysm (主詞)


that (關係代名詞引導形容詞子句，此關代當主詞用)


befell (動詞) London (受詞)


threathened (分詞片語修飾London。還原為：which was threatened) to engulf the world


as (如同上句的as一樣，引導副詞子句，也是"when"的意思)


the shadow (主詞) of the demons


fell (動詞) across the face of mankind..


gnarl: To snarl; growl.

churm: The mingled din or noise of many voices.

感謝Ｋｅｎｎｙ的指正，我在第三句話的解釋出現了個致命的錯誤：

threatened 在此並非分詞片語，而應該是 cataclysm 的動詞才對。

特此更正。
以免誤導視聽。
