As is vividly depicted in the pictureabove, in the middle stand two individuals, showing us a striking contrast between two kinds of people: the self-satisfied person with little learning, shaking no to the pot of knowledge, while the other more learned person, thirsting for knowledge, welcomes it with open arms.
问题：
1.“As is vividly depicted in the pictureabove, ” 中as是引导的非限制性定语从句吗，指代后面的什么
2.后面好多逗号，分号，冒号，每一部分在句子中分别做的什么成分？现在分词做状语？
防止我手打有误，把原版上传了：
更正下：while前不是逗号是分号。补充问题：两个分号并列的是两个名词person和more learned person这两个名词？两个现在分词修饰的是什么？welcomes it with open arms.又是什么成分，我好凌乱啊。
冒号后 是对 two individuals 的进一步的解释 是个并列句
the self-satisfied person with little learning是主语, shaking no to the pot of knowledge是状语其中no是名词 shake no to sth 与 say no to sth 意思一样 是拒绝某事的意思 ，后面应该有被现在分词所修饰的谓语你漏写了 , while是表示对比的 并列连词 引导并列句 the other more learned person是主语 , thirsting for knowledge是状语, welcomes 是谓语 it是宾语代替the pot of knowledge 后面是状语 with open arms.追问
我把影印版上传了，没有少打，就一个问题了并列的什么东西；while前不是一个句子，while后是一个句子，怎么能并列了，是不是我的理解还是错的。
追答while前不是一个句子，只能认为是谓语省略了 是welcomes的反义词。
或者把 shaking no to the pot of knowledge改为谓语shakes no to the pot of knowledge
There has been a heated discussion on the newspaper recently. As is vividly and interestingly depicted in the picture above, in the middle stand two individuals, showing us a
striking contrast between two kinds of people: the self-satisfied person with little learning, shaking no to the pot of knowledge; while the other more learned person, thirsting for knowledge, welcomes it with open arms.
句子分析：
As is vividly and interestingly depicted in the picture above ,非限制性定语从句,as 指后面要说的内容,有"正如...那样"之意,紧跟主句是一倒装句. in the middle stand two individuals,
in the middle 是介词短语提前引起全部倒装,stand 是谓语,two individuals 是主语。
showing us a striking contrast between two kinds of people 现在分词短语作状语（有称伴随状语）,补充信息，注意，其逻辑主语是the picture 而非two individuals ！
冒号后面的是two individuals（不是two kinds of people ,我差一点弄错！） 的同位语,本应是A and B A、B 应为两个名词性词组。
A=the self-satisfied person with little learning是一名词短语，其后的现在分词短语shaking no to the pot of knowledge为非限制性定语，相当于非限制性定语从句who is shaking “No" to the pot of knowledge. 比喻说法，比say "No" to .... 更形象，表示”摆手拒绝。。。“的意思。
分号=and
B本应是也是一个名词短语，与A并列，但作者自己却晕了！变成了一个由while并列的句子!
应去掉while！(分号改为and较好），而 thirsting 改为thirsty，成为一个形容词短语更好，因为还需要将welcomes 改为现在分词welcoming 和shaking 对应。
另外，这个同位语还有一些小问题。用one, the other ：As is vividly and interestingly depicted in the picture above, in the middle stand two individuals: one with little learning shaking no to the pot of knowledge and the other thirsty for knowledge, welcoming it with open arms,showing us a striking contrast between two kinds of people
其实这个句子太长，用了太多的非谓语动词， 不如分成两句：
As is vividly and interestingly depicted in the picture above, in the middle stand two individuals, showing us a striking contrast between two kinds of people. The self-satisfied person with little learning is shaking no to the pot of knowledge while the other more learned person, thirsting for knowledge, welcomes it with open arms.
其实As从句太夸张，是写作的套路。其实后面的一个简单句所表达的内容并不vivid,也不interesting! 因为它就是一个简单句：in the middle stand two individuals。

2.showing us a striking contrast between two kinds of people是动名词作主语
冒号纯粹用于解释前面这句话
while the other more learned person这里while作并列连词，而，却，的意思
shaking no to the pot of knowledge是分词作伴随状语 thirsting for knowledge, welcomes it with open arms一样追问
先谢谢你写了这么多。
shaking no 是什么意思，为什么不是 no shaking 呢？
两个分号并列的是两个名词person和more learned person这两个名词？现在分词做状语修饰的动词在那里？
