求助:英语长难句分析Althought many attributed Kodak's downfall to "complacency,"that doesn't acknowledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself.
这句话中 to which the company went to reinvent itself,在句中作什么成份?它的先行词是?如何修饰它的先行词的?越详细越好,谢谢!

前半句没什么好分析的,就是很多人把柯达的没落归因于“固步自封”(即自得), attribute ...to ...句型 。
后半句是你有些困惑的地方,我们来看:
that指前面很多人的那种看法,作主语
doesn't acknowledge,不承认,没认识到,谓语
the lengths 宾语
现在的关键是你可能没了解这个固定搭配,即:go to (great) lengths to do sth, 这是一个很好用的句子,表示“为做某事不惜花费很大代价,不遗余力,花费心力去做某事”的意思,从字面上看,你大概也能看出一二,因为字面上解释是走很长的距离去做某事,

这样解释完再看那个定语从句,就知道,the lengths显然是先行词,由which指代,to which实际上就是to the lengths
还有一个要注意的地方是 to,
第一个to是介词,接lengths, 此句中提前到了引导词那里,
第二个是不定式的to,to reinvent itself,这里是表目的。

如果原句修改一下,不是用定语从句写的话会是这样:
Although many attributed Kodak's downfall to "complacency", that doesn't acknowledge the fact that the company went to great lengths to reinvent itself.
而且,由于当that,which在定语从句作宾语的时候可以省略,所以此句还可以这样变:
Although....., that doesn't acknowledge the lengths the company went to to reinvent itself. 当然,这样的话会出现两个to,所以显然还是原句比这句好追问
