定语从句分析
His elaboration on the cliché of the speaker modestly boasting that he is not very good at public speaking was to mention a exchange with his old management communications teacher.
这句话怎么理解呢，主语是His elaboration，谓语是was，the cliché of the speaker modestly boasting that he is not very good at public speaking，of 后面句子是做cliche的定语，然后里面modestly boasting that 又是 speaker 的定语，这样分析对吗

剪掉枝叶，句子主干就是：His elaboration(主语) was to mention(谓语动词) a exchange(宾语).
“on the cliché of the speaker modestly boasting that he is not very good at public speaking”，这一大坨为介词短语作为后置定语修饰elaboration，意思是：对于.....的详述；“with his old management communications teacher”，这一小坨为介词短语作为后置定语修饰exchange。
“on the cliché of the speaker modestly boasting that he is not very good at public speaking”
如果单独把这个意群拿出来划分：on后面的部分为介词宾语；of.........，介词短语作为后置定语修饰cliché；在of介词短语内部是个动名词复合结构，the speaker是boasting的逻辑主语，that......，这是个宾语从句，为boasting的宾语。
句意：(演讲之前)他详细的说了一通演讲者总是低调谦逊地“吹嘘”自己并不特别擅长公众演讲这种陈词滥调，目的就是为了(接下来)提及他与以前的管理沟通老师的一次互访交流。
