复杂的定语从句的拆分和理解 例6

例6　Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.

【结构分析】这句话开头是两个介词短语做状语，第一个介词短语是in our industrial life，第二个介词短语是apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift，句子的主干的主语是the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association，后面是个定语从句under which the world's work is carried on修饰前面的主语，动词是receives，宾语是little attention，后面是分词状语as compared with physical output，修饰整个句子。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于两个超级介词短语做状语，后面的定语从句也很经典，该定语从句前面有个介词under，用得很准确。
