1. At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement.(2009. 译文. Text 2)
【译文】例如,在康奈尔大学的酒店管理学院, 有学士学位的毕业生平均能拿到4至5个带薪工作邀请,工资从高中学生的级别到二十出头的级别,并且有很多快速上涨的机会。
【析句】本例句结构不复杂,主句bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers,with salaries and plenty of chances for rapid development作伴随状语,salaries后ranging from the high teens to the low 20s为现在分词作定语。

2. Television passes information, and indiscriminately, to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. (2009. 译文. Text 3)
【译文】无论观众是儿童还是成人,电视都不加区分地将信息传递给所有人。
【析句】主句Television passes information to all viewers alike, indiscriminately是修饰passes的副词。难点在最后一句be they children or adults, 这是whether they are children or adults 的省略引导词倒装的用法。一般情况下把引导词省略,助词提前,are该为be。

3. Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. (2004. 译文. Text 4)
【译文】在飓风雨果来袭之前,沿南加州海岸建造的许多新房质量粗糙,并且建筑法规执法不严。建筑师雷·哈弗这么说,他设计了十分巧妙的海滨别墅。
