这样断句没错:the large public following / which Powell attracted
In the aftermath of the "Rivers of Blood" speech, several polls suggested that between 67 and 82 per cent of the UK population agreed with Powell's opinions. His supporters claimed that the large public following which Powell attracted helped the Conservatives to win the 1970 general election, and perhaps cost them the February 1974 general election, when Powell turned his back on the Conservatives by endorsing a vote for Labour, which returned as a minority government in early March following a hung parliament.
我有疑问的是His supporters claimed that the large public following which Powell attracted helped the Conservatives to win...中的the large public following which Powell attracted,这句话是我自己搜到的版本,老师讲的版本是the large public following that Powell attracted.
老师的讲解是following作定语修饰前面的the large public,that Powell attracted是一个定语从句,也是修饰前面的public。这样讲解对吗?我个人对于这里这个following现在分词单独作定语放在public后面有一些疑问
