难句分析

Anything can be modified or improved, including our gene expressions, says Paul, who likes to reference the 10,000-hours theory Malcolm Gladwell shares in his book The Outliers, suggesting that talent is made with practice and commitment, not an innate trait.

保罗说,任何东西都可以被调整或完善,包括我们的基因表达。他喜欢引用马尔科姆·格拉德威尔在其著作《异数》中所分享的 10000 小时定律,认为天才是通过(不断的)练习和付出锤炼而成的,而非天资过人。

主句为开头的"Anything can be modified or improved, including our gene expressions, says Paul",其后 who 引导的定语从句"who likes to reference the 10,000-hours theory"对人物 Paul 进行修饰和信息补充,“Paul 常常引用一万小时定律”,"10,000-hours theory"的后面接省略了先行词 that 的定语从句,对这则定律进行进一步信息补充,还原后会变成"theory that Malcolm Gladwell shares in his book The Outliers",suggesting 后的从句对这则定律的内容进行进一步补充,这则定律认为“天才是通过(不断的)练习和付出锤炼而成的,而非天资过人”。
