(2006. 阅读. 6. Text 4)
【译文】21世纪美国民主最基本的问题是“结构性种族主义”,即社会经济不公平的深层模式的和长久以来积累的种族劣势,并不断在种族主义分子和冷漠的白人们的公共演讲鼓吹下正义化。
【析句】复合句。主句The fundamental problem is the problem of "structural racism",后面部份的中心词是the deep patterns of socio-economic inequality and accumulated disavantage...作structural racism的同位语,而disavantage后有定语从句that are coded...and justified...修饰。

【析句】主句是It is an educational campaign to highlight the contemporary reality of..., 其中,it在这里是真正的主语,替代前文中的内容。to highlight...是不定式作目的状语。the uneaual conditions作racial deficits的同位语,后有有that引导的定语从句修饰。

【析句】本期的三个例句中都使用了主句+同位语+定语从句的结构。主句是Structural racism's barriers include...,include后两个名词宾语,后一个是the absence of black capital formation,that is a direct consequence of...作定语从句。
