[請益] 一個句子的結構

[libitum (libitum)]

原文如下

Fallows argues that America's two-and-a-half centuries of rapid

economic growth, rather than portending endless, similarly paced

future advances, have amounted to harvesting the "low-hanging fruit"

of open land, cheap energy.


理解是

rather than portending endless 是形容economic growth

simialarly paced future advances 也是跟著形容economic growth嗎


如果是，原句主要架構是可以這樣看的？

Fallows argues that America's two-and-a-half centuries of rapid

economic growth have amounted to harvesting the "low-hanging fruit"

of open land.


兩個逗點大部分是補充著前面的名字，這好理解

但像這多個逗點夾著子句，就有點困惑了

麻煩解惑了

謝謝

推 serif: 我認為rather than ...是跟著amounted to 的耶
→ serif: amounted to harvesting... rather than (to) portending..
→ serif: 而future advances 是 portending的受詞，
→ serif: endless和similarly paced這兩個形容詞修飾future advances
→ clumsy5566: 同意樓上，rather than修飾動詞amount to
→ libitum: okay  謝謝！！！
