句的剖析?

句子主干：Sir Richard Branson…had recently suggested that…

成分分析：

①After being dogged by technical delays for years是時(shí)間狀語，當(dāng)從句主語和主句主語一致時(shí)，可以省略從句的主語，從而形成after doing的結(jié)構(gòu)。

②Virgin Galactic’s founder是Sir Richard Branson的同位語，解釋說明理查德·布蘭森爵士的身份。

③that引導(dǎo)的從句作suggested的賓語，因此that引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)賓語從句。

④paying是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語修飾customers。

詞的講解?

dog??? v. （問題或噩運(yùn)）長期困擾，緊隨

??????????? 【例】a dog’s life 苦難的生活

③? adopted by many teachers為過去分詞短語作后置定語修飾model。

④? when introducing students to new knowledge為時(shí)間狀語從句，說明謂語動(dòng)詞adopted發(fā)生的時(shí)間。

⑤? 兩個(gè)破折號(hào)之間的成分為方式狀語，補(bǔ)充說明while引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句。
