my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—{ the volume (量) of (what I have to read for classes every week )means (there is little time to read anything else ) }.
Such reading made it all the clearer to me [ that I live in a very small part in this great place (called life )] .
分成两部分分析。
第一部分 简化为:my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — { the volume (量) of ( ... ) means (... ) }.
1. 大括号中的全部内容是 matter 的同位语,(也有人称之为插入语) ,它用来补充说明 matter.
2. 大括号内部是一个从句。the volume (量) of ( ... ) 是of 结构,用作主语。小括号是个名词性从句,用作of 的宾语从句。
3。means是谓语。(there is little time ...)是means 的宾语从句。
第二部分 简化为:
Such reading made it all the clearer to me [ ... (called life )]
1. 中括号是个宾语从句。是made的宾语从句。made 后面的it 是形式宾语。真正的宾语就是刚才那个中括号。
2。(called life )是个过去分词词组,修饰前面的 great place。
