288. Meanwhile, most children are vulnerable to the enormous influence exerted by grandchildless parents aiming to persuade their kids to produce children.
译文 与此同时,在尚无孙辈的父母的巨大影响下,大部分的子女很容易被说服去生育孩子。
点睛 本句的主干是...children are vulnerable to...influence。过去分词短语exerted by...produce children作定语修饰influence,该短语中又包含一个现在分词短语aiming to persuade...作定语修饰parents。
enormous意为“巨大的,庞大的”。如:
The political impact on our society is enormous and unprecedented. 这一政治冲击对我们社会的影响空前巨大。
exert意为“施加,应用”。如:
The manager exerted all his influence to make them accept his plan. 经理用尽一切影响力使他们接受他的计划。
