　　[长难句突破]

　　Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.

　　主体句式：We are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles…

　　结构分析：本句的主干后面跟了一个which引导的定语从句，用来修饰spectacles。冒号后面包含了三个并列的名词短语。第一个名词短语的修饰成分比较简单。第二个名词短语中包含了两个定语，分别是介词结构“of radical books”和定语从句“who takes his meals in three-star restaurants”。第三个名词短语中也有两个定语，分别是分词结构“advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life”和定语从句“whose own children are enrolled in private schools”
