③介词短语做状语：Apart from the fact...advertising，表示“除去......的事实外”;

④同位语从句：that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of

advertising，解释说明 the fact。

11. If its message were confined merely to information — that in itself

would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the

boring that no one would pay any attention.

④原因状语从句：for even a detail...is subtly persuasive，其中 such as the choice of

the color of a shirt 作为一个插入语。
