200.To make maters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines.

英語四級譯文:
隨后證明，公主的旅行得到了外交部的批準，而且她確實熟悉安哥拉的情，也了解英國當局對于地雷的政策，這使政府的處境更加艱難。

四級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是it emerged that...and that…其中，兩個that引導的從句都是形式主語it所代替的真正主語。the situation in Angola and the British govemment's policy regarding landmines為be well-informed about的賓語。

emerge在本句中意為“(事實)顯現出來”。如:
It has emerged that he is the one who stole the money.現在終于發現，是他偷了那筆錢。
the Foreign Office在本句中指“英國的外交部”。Angola指“安哥拉”，是一個位于非洲西南部的國家。landmine意為“地雷”。

英語四級考點歸納:
動詞不定式作狀語時，一般表示目的。如:
He went to Paris to learn French.他去巴黎學法語。
而本句中的to make matters worse for the government則表示結果。由于動詞的現在分詞形式常被用來表示結果，因此，本句可以變為:
It soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office，and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines, making matters worse for the government.
