2018屠屠考研英语长难句 一日一句(68)

68. Questions are increasingly being asked by the councils about how they can be sure that misconduct is not taking place on the grants they provide.

【结构分析】

本句使用了被动语态的现在进行时结构，主干为Questions are increasingly being asked …，施动者by the councils，介词about后的宾语由how引导的从句how they can be sure…充当，这里又包含一个特殊的结构“主语+be +adj.+从句”，that引导的名词性从句 misconduct is not taking place on the grants they provide中，grants后是一个省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句，关系代词在从句中作provide的宾语。

【词汇】

increasingly 越来越

council 委员会

misconduct 不当行为

provide the grants 赞同，认同

【参考译文】  各委员会越来越多地提出问题——关于他们如何能够确保在他们同意的情况下避免发生处理不当的行为。
