2016考研英语阅读试题逐句拆分解析（82）

While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed,

让步状语从句

it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized.

形式主语 系动词 表语 主语从句

译文：虽然几乎没有工匠或农民留下可供分析的文学作品——更不用说随从或仆人留下的——但是他们的观点明显缺乏知识性。

分析：句子的主干是it is obvious…;it是形式主语，is为系动词，obvious为表语，真正的主语是由that引导的主语从句。在该从句中，their views 为主语，were为系动词，less fully intellectualized是表语。句首是while引导的让步状语从句，few craftsmen or farmers为主语，谓语是left，宾语为 literary compositions， to be analyzed做宾语补足语，let alone dependents and servants是插入语，与主语并列。
