一句话看不懂哎~请大家帮忙！

[size=10.5pt][size=5][color=black]The desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased, given that this group of restaurants---the only ones for which we have sales figures that permit a comparison between last year and the year before---demonstrates a trend toward fewer sales.[/color][/size][/size]{"|'j/ayp.C

主语是 this group of restaurants。given that . . . 是 participle phrase，带出的分句用来解释为什么 the desirability has clearly decreased。就是说，因为有这些结果，所以明显可以看得出顾客不那么喜欢我们的食物了。

哈哈，我懂了！是这样的
D/v;[o/nu The desirability    has clearly decreased, given that....
6q&t6] u z:t? 之前复杂的让我看不懂的就是这个分词短语后面的，果然长难句。。
