2013下半年英語四級(jí)100條閱讀難句解讀(79)

字號(hào):

It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country. (07.12 Passage 1)
    分析主干:It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic...
    句中的a statistic 是對(duì)90,000 students 的進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說明,可以算作插入語。used過去分詞短語作后置定語,修飾a statistic,“一個(gè)用來......的數(shù)據(jù)”。
    譯文:它(學(xué)校)招生人數(shù)達(dá)9 萬,這個(gè)數(shù)字使其號(hào)稱是美國的私立大學(xué)。
