復(fù)雜的定語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例36

例36　New ways of organizing the workplace—all that reengineering and downsizing—are only one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in education and training.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】主語(yǔ)中心語(yǔ)是New ways of organizing the workplace，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是are，賓語(yǔ)中心語(yǔ)是one contribution, to the overall productivity of an economy是個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)，修飾前面的賓語(yǔ)，which is driven by many other factors是個(gè)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面整個(gè)句子，such as...是個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)修飾前面的many other factors, in equipment and machinery, new technology修飾前面的joint investment, in education and training修飾前面的investment。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于非限定性定語(yǔ)從句中套上了such as，而such as后面又兩個(gè)investment，后面又各加了兩個(gè)in引導(dǎo)的介詞短語(yǔ)來(lái)修飾各自的investment。
