长难句解析
解:主系表1+状语2+定语从句3+主语4+谓语5+宾语从句6
析:本句是由“and”引导的两个并列句构成;“and”之前的句子由多个成分构成,“Wozniak would be the gentle wizard”为主系表结构,其后“coming up with a neat invention”为现在分词短语作状语,“that he would have been happy just to give away”为定语从句,修饰先行词“invention”;“and”之后的句子主语为“Jobs”,谓语为“would figure out”,其后跟随宾语从句“how to make it user-friendly, put it together in a package, market it, and make a few bucks.” 。
