31. So when the premiers gather in Niagara Falls to assemble their usual complaint list, they should also get cracking about something in their jurisdiction that would help their budgets ind patients.
【分析】復(fù)合句。句子主干為they should get cracking about something。其中when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句,主語為 the premiers,謂語為 gather, in Niagara Falls 為地點(diǎn)狀語,to assemble their usual complaint list 為目的狀語。主句中包含that引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾something。
【譯文】因此當(dāng)官員們聚集在尼亞加拉瀑布城像往常那樣不停地抱怨時,他們也應(yīng)該在自己的權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)開始做些有利于他們的預(yù)算和病人的亊情。
【點(diǎn)撥】l)get cracking“開始;(尤指)大干起來”。2) jurisdiction“司法權(quán);管轄范圍”,本句中是“管轄范圍”的意思。
