例118 As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on and find a better job opportunity that helps them earn a high salary.
【結構分析】這句話的開頭是時間狀語從句As boards scrutinize succession plans...,后面是介詞短語in response to shareholder pressure做狀語,主干的主語是executives,后面是定語從句who don't get the nod,第一個動詞是may wish to move on,第二個動詞是find,后面是賓語a better job opportunity,后面是定語從句that helps them earn a high salary。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點是很長的時間狀語從句as,主句還有兩個定語從句,而且主干還是并列句,很經典。
