復(fù)雜的定語從句的拆分和理解 例21

例21　Creating a "European identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】主干是Creating a "European identity" is no easy task and demands a strategic choice，中間是連環(huán)定語從句，定語從句that respects the different cultures and traditions修飾前面的名詞a "European identity"，后面還是個(gè)定語從句which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent修飾前面的名詞cultures and traditions。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)是連環(huán)定語從句，主語后面是連環(huán)的定語從句，導(dǎo)致主語很長，很有氣勢(shì)。
