復(fù)雜的定語從句的拆分和理解 例12

例12　In modern fast-consuming-product companies, tremendous use is made of statistics to measure the dynamic difference in markets resulting from the mass allocations of advertisements which constitute such a large part of their production costs before selling that they regard production costs as production plus advertising costs.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】介詞短語In modern fast-consuming-product companies做狀語，主干是tremendous use is made of statistics，后面加上不定式to measure the dynamic difference in markets作目的狀語，修飾前面的句子，后面加上分詞定語resulting from the mass allocations of advertisements，后面加上定語從句which constitute such a large part of their production costs that they regard production costs as production plus advertising costs，該定語從句有固定搭配such...that...。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于不定式后面套上分詞定語，后面套上定語從句，而且定語從句里面套上such...that...，句子多達48個單詞，很有氣勢。
