Paragraph 8

Interestingly, the human brain’s response to loneliness is similar to its response to hunger, as brain imaging studies have shown that the same area in the brain is turned on when a person has these feelings.

Studies also support the notion that loneliness serves as a signal similar to hunger, indicating a lack that needs to be addressed.

Just as a lack of physical nourishment leads to psychological discomfort, a lack of social nourishment results in feelings of social hunger, a deficit that needs to be addressed.

as brain ... these feelings는 부사절로, 접속사 as는 ‘~하듯이’로 해석된다.

that the same ... these feelings는 have shown의 목적어인 명사절이다.

when ... feelings는 시간을 나타내는 부사절이다.

Studies also support the notion that loneliness serves as a signal similar to hunger, indicating a lack that needs to be addressed.

that loneliness ... to hunger는 the notion과 동격 관계를 나타내는 절이다.

that needs to be addressed는 a lack을 수식하는 관계절이다.

Just as a lack of physical nourishment leads to psychological discomfort, a lack of social nourishment results in feelings of social hunger, a deficit that needs to be addressed.

Just as는 ‘마치 ~인 것처럼, ~인 것과 꼭 마찬가지로’라고 해석되며 두 사항의 유사성을 나타내는 부사절을 이끈다.

feelings of social hunger와 a deficit that needs to be addressed는 동격 관계이다.

that needs to be addressed는 a deficit를 수식하는 관계절이고, to be addressed는 to부정사의 수동태(to be+p.p.)이다.

For example, high-profile athletes and coaches can be sports ambassadors to foster environmental consciousness among fans, especially young people who look up to them.

who look up to them은 young people을 수식하는 관계절이다.

them은 앞에 나오는 high-profile athletes and coaches를 가리킨다.
