4、,因此最好用将来完成时态will have done。1 中国将努力确保到2015年就业者接受过平均13.3年的教育。China will endeavor to ensure that employees will have received an average of 13.3 years of education by 2015.notes第5页,共43页。n 2 如果这一目标得以实现,今后大部分进入劳动力市场的人都需获得大学文凭。“如果这一目标得以实现”为条件状语,用 if引导,“目标得以实现”可用被动语态;“大部分进入劳动力市场的人”修饰语较长,可用两种方法处理,一是使用现在分词作后

8、市接受教育的同等机会。The Ministry of Education has also decided to improve the nutrition of students in underdeveloped areas,and to offer equal education opportunities for children of migrant workers in cities.“改善学生的营养”和“提供教育的同等机会”同为“教育部还决定”的对象,因此用不定式的并列结构并由and来连接。此句较长,修饰成分较多,所以首先要理清句子的主要结构,再合理添加修饰语。notes第9页,
