长难句解析
{While we’re all often flooded with messages}(让步状语从句) {that we need to speak up and stand out in order to be successful}(同位语从句), introverts(主语) can actually achieve(谓语) even more(宾语) {if they hone their natural strengths}(条件状语从句).
该句子稍长,但是结构很地道。首先为 while 引导的让步状语从句,其中关键词为 flood,此处作动词,意为“淹没...”,后面 that 引导同位语从句,修饰 messages,从句整体结构为 we need to do sth in order to be…,即:为了变得怎样我们需要去做什么?主句 introverts做主语,can actually achieve做谓语, even more则是宾语,后面 if 引导条件状语从句if they hone their natural strengths,如果他们能磨炼自己先天的优势。
