難句解析
1. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget.
【解析】when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,其后是主句,該主句中的familiar with the state government是形容詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ),修飾leader;而句末a major source of the university’s budget 是同位語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)明the state government。
【譯文】例如,科羅拉多大學(xué)董事會(huì)在遴選新校長(zhǎng)時(shí),他們想聘用一個(gè)與州政府熟悉的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人,因?yàn)橹菡菍W(xué)校的主要資金來(lái)源。
2. In 2003,when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “ a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”
【解析】句首的when 從句是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明2003。句子的主句是the university…stressed that…,其中that引出賓語(yǔ)從句。賓語(yǔ)從句中的主句為she had overseen a major strengthening。
【譯文】2003年,劍橋大學(xué)任命前耶魯大學(xué)教務(wù)長(zhǎng)艾莉森•理查德為副校長(zhǎng)。學(xué)校公開強(qiáng)調(diào)艾莉森之前的工作確保了“耶魯大學(xué)財(cái)政狀況良好”。
3. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body.
【解析】本句的主干簡(jiǎn)單易懂,是The globalization of education means…。但其后的賓語(yǔ)從句的結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜,該從句的主干是more universities will be seeking heads,heads 之后的with international experience of some kind 是介詞短語(yǔ)做定語(yǔ)。句末的to promote international programs and attract a global student body是目的狀語(yǔ)。
【譯文】教育全球化意味著更多的大學(xué)將要聘用那些具有國(guó)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)的校長(zhǎng),以促進(jìn)國(guó)際間項(xiàng)目的合作,招收留學(xué)生。
