各位英语大神看看这个句子我这样理解正确吗?
原句是这样的:Beakeland's major contribution to the field is not so much the actual discovery of the material to witch he gave his name,but rather the method by which a reaction between penol and formaldehyde could be controlled.
下面是我把其中的从句还原后的样子：
Beakeland's major contribution to the field is not so much(that)(我认为这里是省略了that,)
the actual discovery of the material to which he gave his name
=He gave his name to the material of the actual discovery
but rather
the method by which a reaction between phenol and formaldehyde could be controlled
=The reaction between phenol and formaldehyde could be controlled by a method.
请各位多多指教!

整个句子的主干是：
Beakeland's contribution is not the actual discovery ,but rather the method.
如果单独对两部分从句做顺序改写,就要改写完整,如第一个为：
he made a actual discovery of the material then he gave his name to it
第二个是对的：
he found a method,and it can be used to control reaction between phenol and formaldehyde.

把肥肉去掉，这句话的主干是Beakland's major contribution is not the discovery, but the method.这样就很明白了吧，撇开可能是打错或者拼错的词不谈，这句话的意思是Beakland这个人在该领域的主要贡献不是（以他名字命名的）他发现的这种物质，而是能够控制penol和甲醛相互作用的方法。
这句话从句挺多的哈，结构够得上进GRE题库...

这句话从句挺多的哈，结构够得上进GRE题库了。to which he gave his name修饰的是the material；by which a reaction between penol and formaldehyde could be controlled修饰the method，其实这个从句是出题者故意拗个被动语态来增加理解难度的，这句话更正确的说法应该是the method that could controll a reaction between penol and formalldehyde.
