学员疑问:这句话的主干和修饰成分如何区分?
老师解答:句子主干为:people have an advantage;who live in a neighborhood with a superior educational system是定语从句,修饰people;其中with a superior educational system是介词短语作后置定语,修饰neighborhood;that is unavailable…lower quality是定语从句,修饰advantage;该定语从句主干是that is unavailable to those,that指代advantage;residing in poor communities or in rural areas是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰those;where the schools are likely to be of lower quality是定语从句,修饰poor communities和rural areas。
Likewise, people (who live in a neighborhood with a superior educational system定语从句,修饰people) have an advantage 【that is unavailable to those (residing in poor communities or in rural areas定语修饰those )(where the schools are likely to be of lower quality定语从句修饰areas)】.
点评分析:首先可以把明显的从句划出来,在找出主干。一般让句子变长的就是定语或者状语,要注意和主干进行区分。
