"There's some notion1 that because I was abandoned2, I worked very hard3 so I could do well and make my parents wish they had me back4, or some such nonsense5, but that's ridiculous6," he insisted.

长难句解析

解：主句1+原因状语从句2+从句主句3+结果状语从句4+并列句5+并列句6

析："There's some notion that ...wish they had me back"中句子的主干是"There's some notion",其中，notion后面的that引导一个同位语从句，说明notion的具体内容；同位语从句"that because I was abandoned...they had me back"中，由原因状语从句" because I was abandoned"+主句" I worked very hard"+结果状语从句"so I could do well...had me back"构成；"or some..., but..."分别为表示选择关系和表示转折关系的连词连接，构成句子的并列成分。
