　　The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. (2008年6月)

　　【分析】本句为复合句。句子主干为The crumbs make it easy。make sth.+adj.+to do为固定用法；you leave everywhere为省略了that或which的定语从句；reconstruct后接了三个并列的宾语从句；digital bread crumbs为比喻用法，意为数字碎屑。

　　Only when its gone do you wish youve done more to protect it. (2008年6月)
