200. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines.
译文随后证明，公主的旅行得到了外交部的批准，而且她确实熟悉安哥拉的情况，也了解英国当局对于地雷的政策，这使政府的处境更加艰难。
点睛本句的主干是it emerged that...and that...其中，两个that引导的从句都是形式主语it所代替的真正主语。the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines为be well-informed about的宾语。
emerge在本句中意为“（事实）显现出来”。如：
It has emerged that he is the one who stole the money. 现在终于发现，是他偷了那笔钱。
the Foreign Office在本句中指“英国的外交部”。Angola指“安哥拉”，是一个位于非洲西南部的国家。landmine意为“地雷”。
考点归纳动词不定式作状语时，一般表示目的。如：
He went to Paris to learn French. 他去巴黎学法语。
而本句中的to make matters worse for the government则表示结果。由于动词的现在分词形式常被用来表示结果，因此，本句可以变为：
It soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines, making matters worse for the government.
