长难句解析

Brazil's president1 has traveled2 to the state of Sao Paulo3 to visit areas4 affected by flooding and landslides5 that have left dozens dead6.

解：主语1+谓语2+状语3+状语4+定语5+定语6

析：该句的主干为“Brazil's president has traveled”，为主谓结构；“to the state of Sao Paulo”为“介词+名词”结构，作地点状语，不定式短语“to visit areas”作目的状语，过去分词短语“affected by flooding and landslides”作“areas”的后置定语，“that have left dozens dead”为定语从句，修饰位于其前的“flooding and landslides”。
