In a move that would help transform the area into the cradle of the tech revolution1, Stanford University’s dean of engineering2, Frederick Terman3, created4 a seven-hundred-acre industrial park5 on university land6 for private companies that could commercialize the ideas of his students7.

长难句解析

解：状语1+主语2+同位语3+谓语4+直接宾语5+地点状语6+间接宾语7

析：本句的状语为“In a move that would help...revolution”,结构为介词短语“in a move”+定语从句“that would help transform...revolution”;其中该定语从句的关系词是“that”,指代位于其前的先行词是“move”，关系词在从句中作主语；“Frederick Terman”为主语“Stanford University’s dean of engineering”的同位语，对主语进行解释说明；间接宾语“for private companies that...of his students”的结构为名词“private companies”+定语从句“that could...ideas of his students”；其中定语从句的关系词为“that”，先行词为“private companies”，其在定语从句中充当主语。
