And anything that raises GPAs will likely make students--who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill--feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars, which is another big concern for colleges. (2019年英語二閱讀理解text2)
結(jié)構(gòu)劃分:① And anything that raises GPAs will likely make students
②--who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill--
③feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars,
④which is another big concern for colleges.
重點詞匯:
GPA(grade-point average) 平均學分基點
tuition n. 學費
raise v. 提高
at the end of the day 最終;到頭來
語法點:嵌套3個定語從句;賓語從句;賓語補足語
語法分析:本句主干為:anything will likely make students 為主謂賓句式,理解難度小,譯為“任何東西將可能讓學生們”;只不過從語法結(jié)構(gòu)上完整,但是語義有所欠缺,后面加入了feel及后面的省略引導詞的賓語從句“feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars,”進行了補充說明,此為賓補,整體譯為“任何東西將可能讓學生們覺得他們的學費花得物超所值。”中間嵌入3個定語從句,分別為“ that raises GPAs ”修飾anything,“who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill”修飾 students,“which is another big concern for colleges”為非限制性定語從句,修飾前面的句子。
參考譯文:而且,任何能夠提高GAP的東西可能都會讓學生們---最終買單的人---感到他們的學費花得物有所值,這是大學極為關(guān)心的一點。
