281. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities.

译文

一些日本的家长认为，如果孩子参加以大学为基础的课程，将来就会有更多的机会上一流的中学和大学。

点睛

本句的主干是parents believe that。that引导的是believe的宾语从句，其中if引导的是条件状语从句。名词和动词过去分词构成的合成词university-based为program的定语，top-rated为schools and universities的定语；eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities为介词of的宾语。attend此处的意思是“参加”。

increase the chance of的意思是“增加……的可能性、希望”。如：

This decline has increased the chance of banking crises. 这次衰退增加了银行危机爆发的可能性。

admit sb. to的意思是“接收某人（入学），准许某人加入（组织）”。如：

Only women are admitted into the club. 该俱乐部只接纳女会员。

考点归纳

除表示“参加”外，attend还有以下常见含义：

“出席”。如：

Only a few people attend the funeral. 只有少数人出席了葬礼。

“经常去”。如：

Their children attend the same school. 他们的孩子上同一所学校。

“注意，专心”。如：

Please attend to what the manager says during the meeting. 开会时请注意听经理讲话。

“陪同，随同”。如：
