BACKGROUND:

最近英国皇家档案公布英国女王一组行纳粹礼的照片，从而引发全球热议。

CONTENT：

The Sun's decision to publish footage of the Queen at six or seven years old performing a Nazi salute, held in the royal archives and hitherto unavailable for public viewing, has triggered concerns that the palace has for years sought to suppress the release of damaging material confirming the links between leading royals and the Third Reich.

Unlike the National Archives, the royal archives, which are known to contain large volumes of correspondence between members of the royal family and Nazi politicians and aristocrats, are not compelled to release material on a regular basis. Now, as that relationship becomes the subject of global debate, historians and MPs have called for the archives to be opened up so that the correspondence can be put into context.

Key sentences

1.

这一句比较长，但是搞清楚其中的插入成分和主干部分就很好理解了。

主要找到谓语，把句子中的谓语同非谓语全部找出来，再一一进行判断。

2. ···historians and MPs have called for the archives to be opened up so that the correspondence can be put into context.

这里需要结合上下文理解，上文中说道女王年幼时行纳粹礼，此举肯定不妥当，所以全球引发担忧，人们要求公布皇家档案，希望结合具体的通信内容分析女王为何行纳粹礼。
