Even the "radical" critiques of this mainstream research model，such as the critique developed in Divided Society，attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and social mobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of Puerto Ricans as a colonial minority. (4+)
即使是對(duì)這一主流研究模型的“激進(jìn)”批評(píng)，諸如《分裂的社會(huì)》(Divided Society)一書(shū)中所提出的那種批判，亦將少數(shù)民族同化問(wèn)題過(guò)分機(jī)構(gòu)地與經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)移動(dòng)性的因素聯(lián)系起來(lái)，因此無(wú)從闡明波多黎各人作為一個(gè)殖民地少數(shù)民族的文化從屬關(guān)系。
難句類型： 復(fù)雜修飾、插入語(yǔ)、省略、抽象詞
解釋：本句實(shí)際上是由and連接的兩個(gè)句子，閱讀的一個(gè)難度在于，and之后省略了they(此處指前面的主語(yǔ)the radical critiques，)而are thus able to 又與前面離得太遠(yuǎn)，使讀者難以找到主語(yǔ)。
另外，句中的固定搭配attach A to B和illuminate C as D當(dāng)中的A、B、C，全部既長(zhǎng)又抽象，理解起來(lái)較為困難。
意群訓(xùn)練：Even the "radical" critiques of this mainstream research model，such as the critique developed in Divided Society，attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and social mobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of Puerto Ricans as a colonial minority.
