原文译文:
耶鲁大学和哈佛大学引领了这一潮流,为每位本科生提供至少一次出国学习或实习的机会—并提供资金援助使其得以实现。
四级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是Yale and Harvard have led the way。现在分词短语offering...and providing...为句子的伴随状语,破折号起到了递进的作用。
lead the way的意思是“先行,带路”。如:
These scientists are leading the way in space research. 这些科学家在宇宙研究中处于领先地位。
at least的意思是“至少”。如:
We should brush our teeth at least twice a day. 我们每天应该至少刷两次牙。
