他是一个矮小粗壮的人，有粗野、平凡的特点和趾高气扬的样子，这标志着一个随时要将自已的方式推行到世界的低级的人。
and that后swaggering 分词作air的定语；and that swaggering是伴随状语with...的并列成份 。which marks a low man who is trying to elbow his way upward in the world. 是ptetension的定语。

追问

谢谢！我想在问下and that 是“而且”的意思 还是that做成分呢？that指代He么？

追答

and that的that是代词,（指较远的人或事物）那。这里指代那种趾高气扬的娇做样子“swaggering air of pretension” 。这是用以增加文章情趣的表达法。

Answer 2

that引导的从句一般都需要2个主词2个动词，这句话里that前的主词是he，动词是was，那么that后的swagger常用作动词，动词是不能作主词的，加了ing变动名词才可以当主词。
