【長難句】
The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.
【主語】The research of Till Von Wachter,
【同位語】the economist in Columbia University,
【謂語】suggests
【賓語】that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed:
【補語】those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.

【譯文】
哥倫比亞大學經濟學家蒂爾•馮•瓦赫特在報告中指出，不是所有墜入衰退時期的人都認為人生機會渺茫：那些畢業于名牌大學的人會相當快地到達其繁榮時期畢業時本該置身其中的位置，落后的是那些不如他們的普通大眾。
