2017考研英语长难句分析每日一句(760)
As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback — a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick.
【分析】多重复合句。主句主干为they have lost the parachute。they once had…setback 为省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰parachute;破折号后的a back-up earner ( usually Mom)是破折号前 parachute 的同位语, 之后接who引导的定语从句,该从句中包含if引导的条件状语从句。
