Question

请帮忙分析一下句子结构和成分

Conversation becomes weaker in a society that spends so much time
listening and being talked to that it has all but lost the will
and the skill to speak for itself.本句摘自 新西兰移民英语水平测试1997.6试题。
也是2001考研题，就是不知道怎么理解的？

Answer 1

conversation becomes weaker in a society.主句，that spends so much tim listening宾语从句
因为倾听需要花费太多的时间，对话在现代社会中变得越来越退化了
and being taled to that it has all but lost the will and the skill to speak for itself 同位语 交谈的意愿和技能也随之丧失了。 大概就是这个意思。参考一下吧。

追问

that spends so much tim listening宾语从句是那个动词要求的？
that it has all but lost the will and the skill to speak for itself 这是什么成分？

追答

becomes weaker
下一个就是talk to 的宾语从句 。个人感觉是这样

Answer 2

that spends so much time...talked to是修饰society的定语从句；这个定语从句中呢又套了个so...that...结构引导it has all but lost the will and the skill to speak for itself结果状语从句。all but意思是几乎，是一个adv.短语，理解了撒~

Answer 3

SO ...THAT 固定搭配
