目前我正在申請(qǐng)讀研,這意味著,終有一天我將回到某一職業(yè)上,而在那個(gè)位置上,人們需要善待我以得到他們想要的東西。
六級(jí)詞匯講解:
本句的主干是I'm…applying to graduate school... which means someday…get what they want是由which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句,修飾逗號(hào)之前的部分;其中where people need to…get what they want是由where引導(dǎo)的限制性定語從句,用來修飾profession;in order to…是該定語從句中的目的狀語。apply to的意思是“申請(qǐng)”。如:
If you want to apply to an American university, you should prepare a lot of materials in advance.
如果你想申請(qǐng)美國(guó)的大學(xué),就需要提前準(zhǔn)備許多資料。
to be nice to的意思是“善待”。如:
Alll ever wanted out oflife is to be nice to people and have them be nice to me.
我只求在生活中能善待他人,讓他人也同樣善待我。
