下面是奥巴马就职演讲,对于这个人我很不喜欢,但是他的就职演说词是近十年来最精彩的演说,很多词句可以学习!重点是第二句!
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
切分:
It's the answer/ that led those/ who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve /to put their hands on the arc of history /and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
句子主干提取:
It’s the answer.
第一个定语从句:
that led those to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
第二个定语从句:
who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve.
在翻译的时候这里先翻第二个定语从句,再翻主干,再翻第一个定语从句,这样符合中文表达的习惯逻辑。
第二个定语从句:

第一个定语从句:

大家要把主干理解为强调句也是可以的!不改变语义!
