        【分析】
        ●Parents 是主语，claimed是谓语动词，宾语是positive emotions and more meaning in their lives的并列结构，其中more… than…构成了比较级。
        ●And 构成了并列句连接，后面分句中a closer look是主语，revealed是谓语，宾语从句 it was fathers who most enjoyed these benefits 本身也是一个 it was…who…. 构成的强调句。
        ●these benefits 指代前方的 more positive emotions and more meaning in their lives。
        【词汇】
        ●claim v. 声称，断言
        ●a closer look 仔细观察
        【译文】
        相比那些还没做父母的人，为人父母者具有更积极的情感和生活也更有意义。通过更加仔细的观察，可以发现父亲在上述方面更明显。
