(2012英语二text2)
【单词解析】
amplify:扩大,增强;marketing strategy:市场策略;come into its own:显示出用处
【句子分析】
这一句子整体较长,较难理解。但是只要理清句子内各部分的逻辑关系,拎清楚主干与修饰,就能帮助大家理解长难句。本句话主干为强调句型it was not until the mid-1980s that pink fully came into its own。第一个when引导的为定语从句,修饰限定先行词the mid-1980s;第二个when......girls为时间状语从句,解释说明fully came into its own part的时间。剩余的of what defined them as female为of接宾语从句做后置定语,at least......years表示这件事所发生的时间,做时间状语。
