这句话的主语"A commission"，"to design a stadium in Qatar"可看成是主语的定语，双破折号中的"a sensuous plan that more than a few observers likened to female anatomy"算是插入语，也可看作是"a stadium"的同位语结构，其中还包含一个定语从句，从句主语是"more than a few observers"，谓语"likened"，宾语"a sensuous plan"，介词"to"后面跟名词性结构"female anatomy"，"liken sth. to sth"表达“把某物比作什么”的意思，"became"为主干的谓语，"in truth unfairly"为插入语作状语，"a lighting rod"是宾语，"for critics"可看成是宾语的定语，表达“对批评家来说是"a lighting rod"”的意思，"who"引导定语从句修饰"critics"，"who"在定语从句中做主语，从句的谓语"decry"，宾语"the treatment"。
