标志：However , recent scholarship has strongly suggested that those aspects ［of early New England culture (that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan)］, such as the strong religious orientation and the communal impulse , were not even typical of New England /as a whole/, but were largely confined ［to the two colonies (of Massachusetts and Connecticut)］.

译文： 然而，近来的学术研究 强烈地显示 那些 ［（看来最为明确的清教徒的）早期新英格兰文化的］一些方面 ，比如强烈的宗教导向和团体意识 ，/整体而言/却不是 新英格兰的典型特征 ，而是 在很大程度上只局限 ［于（马萨诸赛和康涅狄格）两个州］。

解释： 宾语从句的主语those aspects 后面跟着长长的修饰成分［of early New England culture (that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan)］。不但如此，主语和表语之间又被长长的插入语such as...分开，而且表语也不是一个，而是were not ..., but were ...的结构，使得句子十分难读。
