復(fù)雜的同位語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例98

例98　Behaviorists, in contrast, say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話(huà)主干是Behaviorists say...，后面加上賓語(yǔ)從句that differences in scores are due to the fact...，賓語(yǔ)從句里面套上同位語(yǔ)從句that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages...，同位語(yǔ)從句后面套上定語(yǔ)從句that whites enjoy。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話(huà)的亮點(diǎn)在于賓語(yǔ)從句套上同位語(yǔ)從句，再套上定語(yǔ)從句，注意后面兩個(gè)that很難區(qū)分到底是定語(yǔ)從句還是同位語(yǔ)從句，這個(gè)區(qū)分需要長(zhǎng)時(shí)間練習(xí)，due to the fact這種結(jié)構(gòu)的成功使用是這句話(huà)的亮點(diǎn)，比一般的because引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句強(qiáng)。
