四级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是Ms. Pancsofar said。之前的内容是间接引语，为said的宾语，其中that引导的是表语从句;引号之中为直接引语，也是said的宾语，其中that引导的也是表语从句，该表语从句中we didn't measure inthe study是way的定语从句。
have an influence on的意思是“对……产生影响”。如:
This novel had a major influence on the youth.

measure在句中作动词，意为“衡量，测量”，此外它还有“仔细考虑，较量”之意。
如:As a writer, she always measures her words.
