小白老师说：又长又难的东西，就要把它给拆分了，各个击破。

先来看今天的句子

In many instances, spectators in the era before recorded sound experienced elaborate aural presentations alongside movies' visual images, from the Japanese benshi (narrators) crafting multivoiced dialogue narratives to original musical compositions performed by symphony-size orchestras in Europe and the United States.

中文释义

很多时候，在有声时代之前，观众们在观看影像的同时也欣赏到了精心制作的音效，从日本的多人对话式叙事到欧美交响乐团的原声乐，无不体现了这一点。

难点分析

本句主干是 spectators experienced elaborate aural presentations alongside movies' visual images，其实非常简单，就是说观众们既看到影像也欣赏到了音效；
但是从句子一开头的状语 In many instances开始，作者用 in the era before recorded sound 修饰主语 spectators，割裂了谓语 experienced 和主语之间的关系；
然后宾语是 elaborate aural presentations alongside movies' visual images倒不难；
但是随后又用一个 from the Japanese benshi (narrators) crafting multivoiced dialogue narratives to original musical compositions performed by symphony-size orchestras in Europe and the United States 来解释这个主干成分的句子，就使句子的复杂度陡然增加。注意其中 from A to B 的用法。
