　　長難句（34）

　　A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.

　　02

　　分析

　　●本句中a lateral move是主語lateral，that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress是a lateral movelateral的定語從句lateral，promoted sb. to abandon..是謂語結(jié)構(gòu)，although是狀語從句連接詞，I covered my exit是從句主干，by引導(dǎo)狀語，引號(hào)里的是claim的賓語，其中逗號(hào)之間的in the manner of a disgraced government minister是插入語。

　　明日長難句
