For weeks, the world witnessed the incredible unity and collaboration
of thousands of individuals from across the globe, and it was the
selfless and collaborative efforts of the military personnel, cave rescue
experts, divers, and volunteers from numerous countries that turned
this seemingly impossible mission into a reality.
There were also
individuals who stepped forward to provide aid in any way they could:
cooking meals for the “Wild Boars” and their rescuers, lending a
helping hand with laundry, or willingly letting their fields and crops be
destroyed by floodwater from the caves if it meant that the boys would
be saved.
Without such acts of selflessness, the rescue would not have
been possible.

<it ~ that ... > 강조구문으로, it was(be동사)와 that 사이에 강조하고자 하는 어구를 삽입하며, ‘…한 것은 바로 ~이다’라는 뜻이다. 이 문장에서는 the selfless and collaborative efforts of ~ countries가 강조되어, ‘불가능해 보이는 것을 현실로 만든 것은 바로 군 인력, 동굴 구조 전문가, 잠수부, 그리고 수많은 나라에서 온 자원봉사자들의 이타적이고 협력적인 노력이었다’는 의미이다.

There were also individuals who stepped forward to provide aid in any way they could: cooking meals for the “Wild Boars” and their rescuers, lending a helping hand with laundry, or willingly letting their fields and crops be destroyed by floodwater from the caves if it meant that the boys would be saved.

‘자신이 할 수 있는 그 어떤 방법으로든 도움을 제공하기 위해 나선 사람들이 있었다’는 앞 문장의 의미를 구체화하고 예시를 제공하기 위해 콜론(:)이 사용되었다. 구체적 도움의 종류는 모두 동명사구 형태로 나열되었다. letting의 목적어로 their fields and crops, 목적격 보어로 be destroyed가 사용되어 ‘그들의 농지와 작물이 파괴되는 것을 허락하다’는 의미이다.

Without such acts of selflessness, the rescue would not have been possible.

<Without +명사구, 주어+would (not) +have+p.p> 형태의 가정법 과거완료 문장으로 ‘…가 없었다면, ~했었을(하지 않았을) 것이다’라는 뜻을 나타낸다.

몇 주 동안 전 세계는 전 세계 수천 명의 개개인들의 놀라운 통합과 협력을 목격했고, 겉보기에 불가능한 임무를

의미한다면 기꺼이 자신의 농지와 작물이 동굴에서 나온 홍수로 인한 물에 의해 파괴되도록 하는 등, 그들이
할 수 있는 어떤 방법으로든 도움을 제공하기 위해 앞으로 나선 개인들도 있었다.
