- The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing — —— 主句1
- Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn , —— 主句2
- but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service , —— 转折并列句
- which doesn’t have any physical product at all . —— 定语从句

- 介词短语:of of the giants of the digital economy 为后置定语,修饰名词词组:the power and ambition
- 介词短语:of the digital economy 为后置定语,修饰名词:giants
- 主句谓语部分:is 为系动词,后接表语
