若水221147 分享 時(shí)間:
these committees are made up of persons representing diverse interest and knowledge who volunteer to participate in coats-off,sleeves-up,pencils-out drafting sessions and committee deliberations.

參考答案:

要點(diǎn):由who引導(dǎo)的定語從句who volunteer to participate in coats-off,sleeves-up,pencils-out drafting sessions and committee deliberations和其先行詞persons被representing diverse interests and knowing分割。定語從句子中的coats-off在這里是說“脫下外套”,sleeves-up是說“卷起袖子”,pencils-out是說“拿出鉛筆”這些指開會(huì)時(shí)各人的姿態(tài),表示在緊張工作。

譯文:這些委員會(huì)是由代表不同利益的集團(tuán)和知識(shí)階層的人組成的。這些人脫下上衣,卷起袖子,拿出鉛筆,自愿參加起會(huì)議和委員會(huì)的審議工作。
