长难句解析

Goyleblundered around, his hands over his eyes, which had expanded to the size of a dinner plate— Snapewas tryingto

restore calm and find out what had happened.

高尔用手捂着眼睛，跌跌撞撞地乱窜，眼睛肿得有午餐的盘子那样大。斯内普拼命想使大家安静，弄清事情原委。

解：主语+谓语+定语从句+主语+谓语+宾语从句

析：“which had expanded to the size of a dinner plate”是 非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词his eyes，关系代词which在从句中作主语，“what had happened”是 宾语从句，使用了过去完成时态，结构是“had+动词过去分词”。
