[分析]本句的主干是Thegrowingnumberof
trustworthyonlineshoppingsites…hasmadepeople
morewillingtoshopontheWeb,其中,主语部分是谓语hasmade之前的部分,其中心词是onlineshoppingsites,其前Thegrowingnumber
oftrustworthy及其后thatprovidesecuretransactions都是修饰中心词的定语,coupledwiththefactthatscamsandfraudthatonceassociated
withonlineshoppingarequicklybecomingathingofthepast为插入语作状语,补充说明onlineshoppingsites的信息,其中,that引导的名词性从句作thefact的同位语.谓语hasmade后跟people作其宾语,其后morewillingtoshoponthe
Web为宾语补足语.

Q:ifdonecarelesslyorwithoutrestraint,是把主语提到前面,还是省略主语变成从句呢A:这里是省略了主语,相当于if(itis)donecarelesslyorwithout
Whileonlineshopping,ifdonecarelesslyorwithout
restraint,couldhaveanegativeeffectonyoungpeople,thefactremains
thatitisextremelyprevalentamongstudentsand,eventoday,continuesto
gaininpopularity.
[分析]本句的主干是thefactremains,这是一个主谓结构,其中,主语部分的中心词与其修饰从句被谓语remains分割开来,原因是谓语太短,为保持句子结构平衡,故这样处理,同时使句子重要信息放置在句尾(句尾信息焦点原则),在本句中,谓语remains之后的that从句作同位语,修饰thefact.在主句之前,是一个While引导的让步状语从句,其中包含了一个插入语ifdonecarelesslyorwithoutrestraint是一个条件状语从句.
