點睛
本句的主干是...he admits...。引號之間的內容作admits的賓語,其中with引導的介賓短語作伴隨狀語;Though Wilfried-Fritz Maring...any disadvantages為though引導的讓步狀語從句;54, a data-bank and Internet specialist with German firm FIZ Karlsruhe作Wilfried-Fritz Maring的同位語;that引導的是賓語從句,作feels的賓語;he spends with his daughter outweighs any disadvantages為省略that的定語從句,修飾time。
outweigh意為“勝過,優(yōu)于”。如:
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages in this case. 在這件事上,利遠大于弊。
admit意為“承認”。如:
