114. The more students who enroll in a course but don't come to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots.
enroll的意思是“注册,登记”。save on的意思是“节约,节省”,后接名词或动名词短语。如:

maintain的意思是“保持,维持”,在本句中特指“财务上的支持”。parking lot的意思是“停车场”。
该句型表示“越……,就越……”。前半句相当于一个条件句,要用一般现在时代替将来时。如:
