長難句：Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries.

結(jié)構(gòu)剖析：本句的主干是 Comparisons were drawn between ... and ..., 難點在于使用了被動語態(tài)，理解時可以轉(zhuǎn)換成主動語態(tài)： People drew comparisons between ... and ... （人們對.... 與.... 進行了一些比較）。

核心詞匯： comparison 比較
diffusion 傳播；擴散
