请英语高手帮我看看这个句子
But tumors also have their own genetic signature ——four to seven genetic changes that are critical to turning ,say ,a normal breast or colon or liver cell into a cancerous one
这个句子中four to seven genetic changes that are critical to turning 是不是第一句的插入语?a normal breast or colon or liver cell into a cancerous one是不是第二句的插入语呢?

问题解答:

我来补答
我觉得这里的插入语是“say,a normal breast or colon or liver cell ” 这个部分.这其实是个例子:一个正常的胸部或直肠或肝脏细胞.如果去掉插入的部分,那么就是turning into a cancerous one.破折号后面的是用来说明肿瘤的标志(tumors' genetic signature)是什么.
我帮你断个句:But tumors also have their own genetic signature.This signature is whether there are four to seven genetic changes.These changes are critical for a cell to turning into a cancerous cell.For example,a normal breast or colon or liver cell turns into a cancerous one.
所以这句话的意思就是:但是肿瘤有他们自己的基因标志,这个标志就是4-7个基因变化,这个变化对转变成癌细胞这个过程至关重要.
也就是说,有没有这个4-7个基因变化是判断正常细胞会不会变成癌细胞的重要标志
希望我说明白了~
