And anything that raises GPAs will likely make students--who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill--feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars, which is another big concern for colleges. (2019年英語二閱讀理解text2)

結(jié)構(gòu)劃分：① And anything that raises GPAs will likely make students

②--who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill--

③feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars,

④which is another big concern for colleges.

重點(diǎn)詞匯：

GPA(grade-point average) 平均學(xué)分基點(diǎn)

tuition n. 學(xué)費(fèi)

raise v. 提高

at the end of the day 最終;到頭來

語法點(diǎn)：嵌套3個(gè)定語從句;賓語從句;賓語補(bǔ)足語

語法分析：本句主干為：anything will likely make students 為主謂賓句式，理解難度小，譯為“任何東西將可能讓學(xué)生們”;只不過從語法結(jié)構(gòu)上完整，但是語義有所欠缺，后面加入了feel及后面的省略引導(dǎo)詞的賓語從句“feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars,”進(jìn)行了補(bǔ)充說明，此為賓補(bǔ)，整體譯為“任何東西將可能讓學(xué)生們覺得他們的學(xué)費(fèi)花得物超所值?！敝虚g嵌入3個(gè)定語從句，分別為“ that raises GPAs ”修飾anything，“who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill”修飾 students，“which is another big concern for colleges”為非限制性定語從句，修飾前面的句子。

參考譯文：而且，任何能夠提高GAP的東西可能都會(huì)讓學(xué)生們---最終買單的人---感到他們的學(xué)費(fèi)花得物有所值，這是大學(xué)極為關(guān)心的一點(diǎn)。
