句1
The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed
【主干】
①主句:The research suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed (包含宾语从句 that … dimmed)
②后置定语(修饰 the research):of Till Von Wachter
③同位语(解释Till Von Wachter):the economist in Columbia University
【主句】

→宾语从句
主干:people主语,see谓语,chances宾语,dimmed宾补
修饰:not all前置定语(修饰people),graduating into a recession v-ing短语作后置定语(修饰people),their life名词作前置定语(修饰chances)

they主语,would have been谓语

they 主语,had graduated谓语
if状语从句引导词,in better times地点状语(修饰句子)
②修饰:
with degrees介词短语作后置定语(修饰those),from elite universities 介词短语作后置定语(修饰degrees),
fairly quickly 副词作状语(修饰谓语catch up to)
