    106. Ashby Plant is one of a number of psychologists who seized on Obama's candidacy to test hypotheses about the power of role models.

    译文 

    阿什比·普兰特是几名利用奥巴马的候选资格来测试关于楷模力量的假说的心理学家之一。

    点睛 

    本句的主干是Ashby Plant is one of...psychologists...。who引导的是psychologists的定语从句,其中to test hypotheses about the power of role models为目的状语,介词短语about...是hypotheses的后置定语。
    a number of的意思是“若干,一些”。如:
    He has written a number of articles for that magazine. 他为那本杂志写过几篇文章。
    seize on的意思是“抓住(可利用的事物);突然大为关注”。如:
    She seized on the excuse to get out of the practice. 她利用那个借口逃避练习。
    candidacy的意思是“候选人的资格(或身份)”。如:
    The board withdrew his candidacy for that post. 董事会取消了他那个职位的候选人资格。

    考点归纳 

    动词seize还常见于以下短语搭配之中:
    seize a chance/opportunity (with both hands)意为“抓住机会/机遇”。如:
    They've seized a chance to launch the project. 他们抓住了启动那个项目的机会。
    be seized with terror/desire意为“突然感到恐惧/受到欲望的支配”。如:
    I was seized with a sudden desire to cry. 我突然很想哭。
    seize up意为“发生故障;身体僵硬”。如:
    The machine suddenly seized up. 机器突然发生故障了。
    It's so cold that my body seized up. 太冷了,我的身体都冻僵了。
