復(fù)雜的并列句的拆分和理解 例272

例272　"Shareholders" as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labor was not good.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】此句話有兩個(gè)并列句，主語(yǔ)是"shareholders", had no knowledge of是個(gè)很長(zhǎng)的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，賓語(yǔ)是并列的短語(yǔ)the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen, employed by the company是分詞定語(yǔ)修飾前面的名詞短語(yǔ)，in which he held shares是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的company, and后面是個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，主語(yǔ)his influence on the relations of capital and labor，動(dòng)詞是was，表語(yǔ)是not good。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話前后兩個(gè)并列句，第一個(gè)并列句很復(fù)雜，里面有并列名詞短語(yǔ)，后面是分詞短語(yǔ)套上定語(yǔ)從句，分詞短語(yǔ)和定語(yǔ)從句層層相套，很巧妙，很實(shí)用。
