復(fù)雜的同位語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例99

例99　Over and over again, the Revolutionary generation, both liberal and conservative in outlook, asserted its conviction that the public interest of the Republic rested upon an educated citizenry who can tell the truth from the wrong and that schools, especially free public schools, would be the best means of educating the citizenry in correct values and the obligations required of everyone in a democratic republican society.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】主干是the Revolutionary generation asserted its conviction...，后面是兩個(gè)并列的同位語(yǔ)從句，第一個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句是that the public interest of the Republic rested upon an educated citizenry...，后面是定語(yǔ)從句who can tell the truth from the wrong，第二個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句that schools, especially free public schools, would be the best means of educating the citizenry...，其中有介詞短語(yǔ)做狀語(yǔ)in correct values and the obligations...，后面加上分詞定語(yǔ)required of everyone in a democratic republican society。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于兩個(gè)并列的同位語(yǔ)從句超級(jí)使用，其中第一個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句里面套上定語(yǔ)從句，第二個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句里面套有介詞短語(yǔ)加上分詞定語(yǔ)。
