SAT语法问题

Something of a phenomenon in the entertainment world, political satirists are admired by conservatives and radicals alike. 我知道整句话的意思，只是不懂这是什麼结构，有人可以给我解释下吗，或者举一个类似的句子，谢谢啊

Answer 1

句子的结构类似于：

A professional badminton player, Lin Dan has won two Olympic gold medals.

 

something of （某种程度上是；多少有点像）修饰a phenomenon in the entertainment world

 

以下两例来自BNC语料库： 

1. Something of an intellectual among surfers, Lynch has a weekly column in a Sydney newspaper.

2. Something of a keen student of modern history, Nation had two main preoccupations.

追问

我想问a professional badminton player是修饰後面的lin dan ,可是 something of a phenomenon,为什麼指代的是後面整个句子

追答

不见得是指代后面的整个句子。a phenomenon和political satirists两者的关系是：
Political satirists, (who are) something of a phenomenon in the ..., are admired by...
就是说“政治讽刺家多少有点像娱乐圈的一个热点或一个吸引眼球的东西，受到保守派和激进派的追捧。”
