主干：Newman wrote
賓語從句：So few authors（主） have brains enough （賓1）or（并列分句） literary gift enough（賓2） to keep their own end up in journalism（結(jié)果狀語）
兩個(gè) enough 在句中作形容詞講，修飾其前面的名詞，作名詞的定語而不是作賓補(bǔ)解（ have作“有”講時(shí)通常不帶賓補(bǔ)）。enough 修飾名詞時(shí)，可以放在名詞前，也可以放在名詞后。
（so...that 結(jié)構(gòu)）結(jié)果狀語從句：that I am tempted to define 'journalism as a term of contempt （賓補(bǔ)）
過去分詞作后置定語：applied by writers to writers
定語從句：who are not read
定語從句：who are（ read ）
句子解說：句中的 a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are的主動(dòng)形式，即為 writers（who are not read ）apply a term of contempt to writers who are，即：那些沒有學(xué)問的（read）作家把‘蔑視術(shù)語’（a term of contempt ）用于有學(xué)問（read）的作家。
