⑨ goods n. 商品,货物,财产

⑩ elegant adj. 优雅的,端庄的,雅致的

⑪ atmosphere n. 大气层,空气,气氛,大气压

3、句子分析

分析句子首先要提取主干部分,句子主干为People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption”。launched by the 19th-century department stores是a culture of consumption的后置定语,因为 the 19th-century department stores与a culture of consumption是被动关系,所以中间采用非谓语动词launched连接。此处,如果是主动关系,需要用动词的ing形式。后边 that offered vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere.是一个定语从句,修饰词是department stores,连接词是that。因此,原句可以分为三个小句。句为People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption”。第二句为“A culture of consumption” is launched by the 19th-century department stores。第三句为Department stores offered vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere.2019考研英语凯旋门
