說明：

　　○——○=then there is the general, all covering apology

　　★①=which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act

　　★②= and which the person should promise never to do again

　　☆①= that was particularly hurtful or insulting

　　☆②= Who is apologizing

　　顯然，原句子是由有there be引導做主句，后面跟了兩個which 引導的定語從句，兩者是并列的。比較特殊的是which定語從句中有各自有一個定語從句，像是一個連環(huán)套。

　　分解為以下幾個句子：

　　1.Then there is the general, all covering apology

　　2.Which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act

　　3.That was particularly hurtful or insulting

　　4.And which the person

　　5.Who is apologizing

　　6.Should promise never to do again
