Question

请帮我分析一句英语句子的语法结构，谢谢

Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed--and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe.
这句句子是倒装吗？如果是正确语序什么？句子as什么作用？
谢谢了！

Answer 1

这其实是两个句子由破折号和and连接起来了。第一个句子很简单

第二句是倒装，正常的语序应该是：
(and perhaps) it has never served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe before.

So (much)....as ...是一个固定句型

Answer 2

是倒装,句子的前半部分可以写成:
These feelings are created and conveyed by means of Television
这里要表达one of the means,所以拆开了by means of词组.
后面的as不清楚
