主语 谓语 that引导宾语从句
宾语从句

隶属连词 主语 谓语和宾语
定语从句

先行词 隶属连词 谓语 宾语
本句是复合句。在主句中,介词短语at harvard’s kennedy school作后置定语,润饰john donahue,主句意为“哈佛大学肯尼迪学院的john donahue指出……”。that引导宾语从句,阐明john donahue观念的内容,在该从句中,谓语由并排连词but联接的suit和is bad for构成,宾语为those和high achievers,它们别离跟在动词suit和介词for之后作宾语;介词短语in western civil services作后置定语,润饰the norms of culture,who引导定语从句,润饰those。
