本句中,主句的宾语是that引导的宾从。在宾语从句中,主语the principal requirement,其后有介词短语做后置定语,意为“所谓的“全球瀑布流”主要的形成条件”,is是系动词,presence是表语,其后有两个of介词短语对其修饰,分别是“not of a few influentials”和“but, rather, of a critical mass of easily influenced people”,意为“并不是少数几个有影响力人士的存在,而是关键的大批易受影响人士的参与”;之后,两个破折号之间的内容是来解释说明“global cascades”,意为“影响经由社交网络实现的广泛传播”。
