2018屠屠考研英語長難句 一日一句(68)

 68. Questions are increasingly being asked by the councils about how they can be sure that misconduct is not taking place on the grants they provide.

【結構分析】 

 本句使用了被動語態的現在進行時結構，主幹為Questions are increasingly being asked …，施動者by the councils，介詞about後的賓語由how引導的從句how they can be sure…充當，這裡又包含一個特殊的結構“主語+be +adj.+從句”，that引導的名詞性從句 misconduct is not taking place on the grants they provide中，grants後是一個省略了關係代詞that/which的定語從句，關係代詞在從句中作provide的賓語。

【詞彙】

 increasingly 越來越

council 委員會

misconduct 不當行為

provide the grants 贊同，認同

【參考譯文】  各委員會越來越多地提出問題——關於他們如何能夠確保在他們同意的情況下避免發生處理不當的行為。
