英语长难句语法问题

Question

Howard D. Schultz, the chief executive of Starbucks, said in a letter to employees on Sunday that baristas would no longer be encouraged to write the phrase “Race Together” on customers’ coffee cups, drawing to a close a widely derided component of the company’s plan to promote a discussion on racial issues.
。
。
drawing to a close a widely derided component of… 这部分:a close a widely derided component…为什么两个名词可以连着用？

Answer 1

drawing to a close a widely derided component of the company’s plan to promote a discussion on racial issues. 是现在分词短语 可以看作是非限制性定语，其逻辑主语就是前面的句子。其中drawing to a close 是固定短语，后面的是该短语的宾语。即因为宾语太长所以放在了后面。正常情况是 draw sth to a close。追问

十分感谢

如果你有点英语的底子，语法懂得，就是不知道长难句如何翻译好，那就用考试虫的吧，很小的一本，看着也方便，我很多同学就用的这本。
如果底子差了点，就买一本对语法讲解系统点的，早点开始看。
