复杂的同位语从句的拆分和理解 例96

例96　Abraham Lincoln is the most famous instance of the claim that Americans often made that in their country a man rise from the lowest to the highest position.

【结构分析】这句话的主干是Abraham Lincoln is the most famous instance of the claim，后面加上定语从句that Americans often made，再加上同位语从句that in their country a man rise from the lowest to the highest position，此同位语从句是做claim的同位语从句。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于定语从句套上同位语从句，很容易搞混哪个才是定语从句，哪个才是同位语从句。

【核心词汇】

the most famous instance　最著名的例子

claim　主张

rise from the lowest to the highest position　从最低层爬到最高层

【参考译文】阿巴拉姆林肯是美国人喜欢举的最著名的例子来证明一个人可以从社会的最底层爬到社会的最高层。
