长难句
But it’s interesting to wonder if theimages we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston. (2011Text4)

本局为复合句,主句是一个形式主语结构的句子,it为形式主语,真正的主语是towonder if…,主句意为“……很有意思”。if引导宾语从句,作wonder的宾语。该宾语从句也为复合句,we see every week是省略了that的定语从句,修饰images;of stress-free, happiness-enhancingparenthood为介词短语作后置定语,同样修饰images,意为“毫无压力的、幸福感倍增的父母的形象”;in some small, subconscious way介词短语作状语,修饰if引导的宾语从句。dissatisfactionswith为固定搭配,意为“对.……感到不满”。in the same way that…是介词短语作状语,修饰主句,way后面的that引导定语从句修饰way,hoped后面是一个省略了掉that的宾语从句。
