六級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是I'm...applying to graduate school...o which means someday...get what they want是由which引導的非限制性定語從句,修飾逗號之前的部分;其中where people need to...get what they want是由where引導的限制性定語從句,用來修飾profession;in order to...是該定語從句中的目的狀語。apply to的意思是“申請”。如:
If you want to apply to an American university,you should prepare a lot of materials in advance.
如果你想申請美國的大學,就需要提前準備許多資料。
to be nice to的意思是“善待”。如:
Alll ever wanted out oflife is to be nice to people and have them be nice to me.
