explain

解释: 主句的主语it是形式主语,其真正内容在后面的两个由or连接的并列的不定式中。前一个不定式中出现一个大型倒装,to establish/for a successful revolution/ a comprehensive and trustworthy picture (of those who participated)的正常语序是to establish a comprehensive and trustworthy picture (of those who participated) /for a successful revolution/。对于类似的结构,读者如果按照笔者的要求认真地过前面的难句,训练到现在应该已经有所感觉。正确的现场感觉是这样:看到established之后没有出现宾语,而是直接出现表示目的的for,句义不完整,大脑就会根据前面训练得出的经验自动判断可能有倒装的结构;读者本人的反应就是隐隐觉得后面应该有established的具体内容。因为有这种预期,读到a comprehensive and trustworthy picture 的时候,正好可以把它与没有说完的established连在一起。

后面的不定式的宾语even the most basic questions 之后又两个并列的定语,第一个是省略了引导词的定语从句(that one might pose ),第二个是分词修饰(concerning the social origins of the insurgents)。
