The attempt to make up lost ground iswelcome, but the nation would be better servedby steady, predictable increases in sciencefunding at the rate of Tong-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percentper year.
原文译文:
尝试填补研究领域的空白是可喜的,但想要更好地服务国家,就应该使可预期的科学经费稳定地增长,增长速率要与长期国内生产总值增长速率同步,这相当于每年的通货膨胀率再加上3%。
四级词汇讲解:
本句是由but连接的并列句,句子的主干是attempt is welcome, but nation would be served。inscience funding为increases的后置定语,at the rate of long-term GDP growth是状语;which引导的是the rate of long-term GDP growth的非限制性定语从句。
make up此处的意思是“弥补”。如:
You have to make up the time you wasted yesterday.你得把昨天浪费的时间补回来。
at the rate of的意思是“以……的速度或比率”。如:
The factory produced cars at the rate of 100 per week.工厂以每周100辆的速度生产汽车。
on the order of的意思是“相似于,大约”。如:
The impact of Internet market is on the order of the traditional market.互联网市场的影响与传统市场相似。
英语四级考点归纳:
