I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. (05.6 Passage 1)
主干:I recall an incident...
句子的賓語an accident后面有兩個修飾語,一個是介詞詞組in a handball game,一個是when引導的定語從句(不是時間狀語從句!)。when引導的定語從句中,有一個because引導的原因狀語從句:注意從句的賓語when是指gloves。

1. when引導時間狀語從句,修飾謂語動詞stressed, “劍橋任命Alison的時候公開強調(diào)說...”。有人認為when引導定語從句修飾2003,不妥,因為“任命”是瞬間動作動詞,而In 2003是延續(xù)性時間。
2. that引導的從句作stressed的賓語。oversee常用人或項目作其賓語,表示“監(jiān)督、監(jiān)管”,句中用a major strengthening作其賓語。

For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university's budget. (09.12 Passage 2)
主干:it wanted a leader...
when引導的時間狀語從句。familiar with...是形容詞短語,作定語時放在中心詞a leader后面;a major source是the state government的同位語。
譯文:例如,科羅拉大學校董事會招募新校長時,他們想要和州政府熟識的人,因為州政府是該校主要的經(jīng)費來源。
