长难句解析

Police1 in Haiti2 say3 they're trying to crack down on the gangs4, which have taken control of most of the capital Port-au-Prince5.

解：主语1+定语2+谓语3+宾语从句4+定语从句5

析：在这个句子中，“Police”作主语，“in Haiti”作主语的定语，“say”作谓语，后面是宾语从句“they're trying to crack down on the gangs”，其后跟随由关系代词“which”引导的定语从句“which have taken control of most of the capital Port-au-Prince”，修饰先行词“the gangs”。
