难句解析

  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 universitys budget.

  【解析】when引导时间状语从句,其后是主句,该主句中的familiar with the state government是形容词短语作定语,修饰leader;而句末a major source of the universitys budget 是同位语来说明the state government

  【译文】例如,科罗拉多大学董事会在遴选新校长时,他们想聘用一个与州政府熟悉的领导人,因为州政府是学校的主要资金来源。

  2. In 2003when 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 Yales financial position.

  【解析】句首的when 从句是非限制性定语从句,补充说明2003。句子的主句是the universitystressed that…,其中that引出宾语从句。宾语从句中的主句为she had overseen a major strengthening

  【解析】本句的主干简单易懂,是The globalization of education means…。但其后的宾语从句的结构复杂,该从句的主干是more universities will be seeking headsheads 之后的with international experience of some kind 是介词短语做定语。句末的to promote international programs and attract a global student body是目的状语。

  【译文】教育全球化意味着更多的大学将要聘用那些具有国际经验的校长,以促进国际间项目的合作,招收留学生。
