重點短語: keep in mind
解析:本句主干為”it might be helpful to keep in mind”,“it”為形式主語,真正的主語為”to keep in mind”,”that trying to maintain eye contact may backfire”為賓語從句,” if you’ re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you”為條件狀語從句,其中”who has a different set of beliefs than you”是定語從句,修飾”someone”。
