　　难句解析：

　　1. The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teenagers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Japan’s rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs。

　　【结构分析】 本句的主语有两个。一个是“The coming of age of the postwar baby boom”；另外一个是“an entry of women into the male-dominated job market”。谓语是“have limited”。宾语是“the opportunities of teen-agers”。“who” 引导一个定语从句修饰宾语。“involved in climbing Japan’s rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs”是“personal sacrifices”的后置定语。

　　2. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War II had weakened the “Japanese morality of respect for parents。”

　　【结构分析】 本句主句结构是“Mitsuo Setoyama raised eyebrows”。插入语“who was then education minister”是主语的定语，“when” 引导一个时间状语从句，“that”引导的从句做“argued”的宾语，该宾语从句中主语是“liberal reforms”，谓语是“had weakened”，宾语是“the‘Japanese morality of respect for parents’”，“introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War II”是“liberal reforms”的定语。
