请问老师句中的assert in one's defence that……是什么意思?

谢谢老师,祝老师们新年快乐!
Ted Cruz, a Republican senator, then asserted in Mr Pai’s defence that Darth Vader supported government regulation of the web; further jabs followed.
【答】在asserted in Mr Pai’s defence that中,asserted是谓语动词,它跟in Mr Pai’s defence并非固定搭配,它们的关系并不密切。
assert是及物动词,意为“断言;主张;声称”,通常跟that宾语从句,所以,后面的that Darth Vader supported government regulation of the web就是其宾语从句。
in one’s defence:介词短语,意为“为某人辩护;为某人辩解”,在本句作目的状语。它的位置比较灵活,因为宾语相对较长的缘故,为了照顾句子匀称,就把它放在谓语和宾语中间,结果把谓语和宾语分隔开来。
