层状模块化体系结构是介于模块化体系结构和层状体系结构的混合体,层状结构增加了模块化结构的繁衍能力,达到形成连续体的程度.
The layered modular architecture（主语） is（谓语动词）a hybrid between a modular architecture and a layered architecture（宾语,其中between引导的是定语）,where the degree by which the layered architecture adds the generativity to the modular architecture forms a continuum.（where 引导的是同位语从句,by which 引导的是定语从句）.
where 后面的句子可以这么看 主干：the degree forms a continuum,而by which the layered architecture adds the generativity to the modular architecture 修饰degree ,然后包含的句子：
the layered architecture （主语）adds（谓语动词） the generativity （宾语） to the modular architecture （目的状语）.
