[結構分析]這是一個復合句，其主語的定語為兩個并列的分詞短語：carried out by... 和published in...，而賓語從句中破折號后面的成分可以看作是補語。

[句子譯文]這項研究由紐約的Guttmacher研究所和世界衛生組織合作進行，發表于英國醫療期刊Lancet上，該研究發現大多數墮胎都發生在發展中國家，一年大約有3500萬例，而在富裕國家中一年只有700萬例。

(2)    Of the 535,000 women who died in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications in 2005, 99% were in developing countries, according to another report by a group of UN agencies, including WHO, also out this week.

[主體句式]  99% were in developing country.

[結構分析] 這是一個復合句，由of構成的介詞短語是句子主語的定語，該介詞短語中有一個who引導的定語從句修飾名詞women；according to構成的介詞短語是句子的狀語，在該狀語中also out this week是report的補語。
