[主干]
Its aim is to integrate and streamline the vast delivery resources, rather than build its own.
[修饰主干的部分]
rather than(准并列连词)build its own 与前面的不等式 to integrate and streamline the vast delivery resources 一起构成并列表语,rather than 在不跟情态动词(would, will)等连用时,仅仅表示否定,译为“而不是”。这种用法的 rather than 叫做准并列连词,在语义上相当于 and not。但是,必须注意,它往往连接词性相同的词项。
定语从句 that already exist across China,修饰前面的先行词 the vast delivery resources,关系代词 that 在定语从句中作主语。
