今日长难句：

He borrowed technical details from many sources, but what set him apart was a self-confident vision of the power of communication technology on the one hand, and, on the other, of the steps that needed to be taken to consolidate his own position as a player in that field.

他借鉴了多方面的技术细节，但与众不同的是，一方面，他对通信技术的力量很自信，另一方面，他对巩固自己在这一领域的地位需要采取哪些步骤也胸有成竹。

第一步 划分句子成分，进行初步断句

He borrowed technical details/from many sources, but/ what set him apart/ was a self-confident vision /of the power of communication technology /on the one hand, and, on the other, /of the steps that/ needed to be taken/ to consolidate/ his own position /as a player/ in that field.

第二步 抓动词和动词短语，再来看主语，介词短语最后分析

He borrowed technical details/from many sources, but/ what set him apart/ was a self-confident vision /of the power of communication technology /on the one hand, and, on the other, /of the steps that/ needed to be taken/ to consolidate/ his own position /as a player/ in that field.

动词 borrow set take consolidate

borrow from 借鉴/借

set apart 使...与众不同

take steps to consolidate 一步步去巩固

主语 He

主语从句 what set him apart was... 引出内容

介词短语on the one hand, one the other (hand)这个结构将逻辑层次一分为二。

最后，我们一起再来看这个非常长的of 结构

a self-confident vision /of the power of communication technology

vision=perception 眼光、感知、远见卓识

对通信技术的力量很自信

第二个并列结构of

（a self-confident vision）of the steps that/ needed to be taken/ to consolidate/ his own position /as a player/ in that field.

他对巩固自己在这一领域的地位需要采取哪些步骤也胸有成竹

核心要点：
