OG11-19
in virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism's trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it.

answer is E: attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant.

不理解that从句的意思？能不能帮助解释以下？谢谢

划线部分是：tying to metabolize...

同问！

还有render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it两个短语在句中是什么成分？render是什么词性？

my 2 cents:

organism's attempt to 代谢化学刺激物,或者使之无害。

render 在这里是动词，使成为，同make的意思，render harmless,the chemical irritant = render the chemical irritant harmless

example: The news rendered her speechless.

难道是render harmless,the chemical irritant是render the chemical irritant harmless的倒装结构？

这个the chemical irritant也不算很长啊，为什么好好的话要倒装呢？

...that are the organism's trying to metabolize

1）attempt是名词，名词优于动名词，>trying

to metabolize, or （to）render harmless, the chemical irritant (= the chemical that is irritating it 罗嗦)

2)metabolize/render是两个动词作用于the chemical irritant

这题是第10版OG中的第六题

楼主搜一下以前的帖子吧，解释的很详细
