。长难句解析
The subjection1 in which his father had brought him up2 had given3 him originally great humility of manner4, but it5 was6 now a good deal7 counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head8, living in retirement, and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected prosperity.
解:1主语+2定语从句+3谓语+4宾语+5主语+6系动词+7表语+8后置定语
析:①定语从句:in which his father had brought him up
该从句修饰先行词subjection,引导词是in which,在从句中作状语 。
②counteracted by...为过去分词短语作定语,修饰a good deal 。
过去分词短语作定语时,通常放在被修饰的名词之后,它的作用相当于一个定语从句
