具体分析
本句主语为
I,谓语为believe,that引导了believe的宾语从句that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process(背后推动这股巨大的并购浪潮的最重要的力量,也是推动全球化进程的力量),而这个宾语从句又包含一个定语从句,即that underlie the globalization process(位于全球化进行下面的)修饰the same。冒号后面的句子成分是the most important forces的同位语,falling transportation and communication costs(日趋下降的运输与通讯费用),lower trade and investment barriers(更低的贸易与投资壁垒) and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers demands(以及扩大的市场,而市场的扩大就要求拓展业务以满足顾客的需求). 其中markets跟了一个定语从句that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers demands(要求拓展业务以满足顾客的需求)来修饰市场。
