370. Goodman hopes the scheme will enable active students to fill in any gaps in their experience and encourage their less-active attendants to take up activities outside their academic area of work.
译文 古德曼希望这一计划能使活跃的学生填补他们经验的空白,也鼓励他们那些不太活跃的同学参与学业之外的活动。
点睛 本句的主干是Goodman hopes...。the scheme一直到句末都是省略了that的宾语从句,作hope的宾语。该宾语从句的主干是the scheme will enable...and encourage...。
fill in the gap意为“填补空白,弥补缺陷”。如:
I heard you were one player short, so I've come to fill in the gap. 我听说你们玩牌缺一个人,所以来补缺。
take up原本意为“拿起”,也表示“开始从事”。如:
She took up the narrative where John had left off. 约翰离开后,她接着讲约翰未讲完的故事。
academic area意为“学术领域”。
