  （1）句子拆分

  拆分点：从属连词、介词、标点符号

  This trend began ∥during the Second World War， ∥ when several governments came to the conclusion ∥that the specific demands ∥that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen ∥in detail．

  （2）句子结构

  ↓

  确定主从句

  主句：This trend began during the Second World War ；

  从句：定语从句when several governments came to the conclusion修饰the Second World War，本从句嵌套着一个二级从句即同位语从句that the specific demands cannot generally be foreseen in detail修饰conclusion和一个三级从句that引导的定语从句that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment修饰demands。

  （3）解析

  during the Second World War介词短语做状语；when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail 做定语修饰the Second World War ；that the specific demands cannot generally be foreseen in detail同位语从句修饰conclusion ；that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment修饰demands。

  （4）本句的参考译文

  这种趋势始于第二次世界大战期间，当时一些国家的政府得出结论：政府向科研机构提出的要求通常是无法详尽预见的。
