1. This has been due, in part, to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each, with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade. (2012. 閱讀. Text 1)
【譯文】某種意義上說(shuō),這要?dú)w功于比爾和梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨基金會(huì)向美國(guó)高中投資18億美元,以幫助創(chuàng)辦1000所小型學(xué)校,其中大部分學(xué)校僅收400名學(xué)生,每個(gè)年級(jí)平均只招收150人。
【析句】復(fù)合句。主句This has been due, in part to the Bill...Foundation, in part作插入語(yǔ),插在了短語(yǔ)due to中間。緊跟主句的是which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句which has invested...schools。helping to open 1000 small schools為現(xiàn)在分詞引導(dǎo)目的狀語(yǔ),且破折號(hào)后是對(duì)前句的進(jìn)一步解釋說(shuō)明,most of them后帶有兩個(gè)with伴隨狀語(yǔ)。

2. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band. (2012. 閱讀. Text 1)
【譯文】最引人注意的是這種現(xiàn)象:較大的城市和郊區(qū)高中已經(jīng)分成幾百個(gè)更小型的學(xué)校。這些學(xué)校通常位于統(tǒng)一場(chǎng)地,一度有上千名學(xué)生同時(shí)去往同一個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)。
【析句】復(fù)合句。主句there is the phenmenon of...schools,that have split into...hundred作high schools的定語(yǔ)從句,housed in the same grounds為過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ),最后the same grounds后也有that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾。

3. We are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. (2012. 閱讀. Text 1)
【譯文】我們都有著同樣的追求,那就是學(xué)校通過(guò)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生在資質(zhì)優(yōu)秀的教師的指導(dǎo)下解決難題,更好地為我們的孩子和國(guó)家服務(wù)。

【析句】復(fù)合句。主句We are all seeking the same thing, 緊隨其后的是which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects..., 具體來(lái)看,非限制性定語(yǔ)從句中,主句which is schools,that better serve...為定語(yǔ)從句修飾schools,by encouraging...為介詞短語(yǔ)作方式狀語(yǔ)。
