每日一句:

The teachers who took part in the program also told me of their worries that they might be force-feeding their pupils information rather than stimulating the discussion necessary to ensure they grasped the importance to them of what they were being taught.

【分析】

主語The teachers 后跟who引導(dǎo)的定語從句。also told me of their worries是謂語部分,their worries后跟that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句that they might be force-feeding their pupils information rather than stimulating the discussion說明worries的具體內(nèi)容。necessary to ensure是形容詞結(jié)構(gòu)修飾discussion。ensure后面的賓語是一個(gè)省略了引導(dǎo)詞that的賓語從句they grasped the importance of what they were being taught。to them是插入語,“對(duì)他們”。

【詞匯】

tell sb. of sth.告知某人某事

force-feed強(qiáng)行灌輸(force-feed sb. sth.)

stimulate 激發(fā)

grasp the importance of…掌握…的要領(lǐng),關(guān)鍵內(nèi)容
