【語法分析】
這句話的主語"A commission"，"to design a stadium in Qatar"可看成是主語的定語，雙破折號中的"a sensuous plan that more than a few observers likened to female anatomy"算是插入語，也可看作是"a stadium"的同位語結構，其中還包含一個定語從句，從句主語是"more than a few observers"，謂語"likened"，賓語"a sensuous plan"，介詞"to"后面跟名詞性結構"female anatomy"，"liken sth. to sth"表達“把某物比作什么”的意思，"became"為主干的謂語，"in truth unfairly"為插入語作狀語，"a lighting rod"是賓語，"for critics"可看成是賓語的定語，表達“對批評家來說是"a lighting rod"”的意思，"who"引導定語從句修飾"critics"，"who"在定語從句中做主語，從句的謂語"decry"，賓語"the treatment"。
