英语四级阅读理解长难句练习(七十六)
76. When next years crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, theyll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost of Yale, wholl become Oxfords vice-chancellora position equivalent to university president in America.
主干:theyll be joined by a new face...
解析:when...是时间状语从句.主句是被动语态,由by 引出动词join 的发出者a newface,其后的Andrew Hamilton 和the 55-year-old provost of Yale 都是a new face 的同位语。此外,这几个同位语有一个who 引导的非限制性定语从句修饰,定语从句中的名词短语a position equivalent...也是vice-chancellor 的同位语。
译文:2009 年秋,当明年的新的一批高中毕业生前往牛津大学就读时,他们将迎来一张新面孔:安德鲁.汉密尔顿。这位现年55 岁的耶鲁大学教务长即将出任牛津大学的副校长这个职位与美国的大学校长相当。
