Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago’s O’Hare International.(2017阅读text1.)
【句子考点】原因状语;同位语;介词短语做后置定语
【句子结构】本句虽然长,但是一个简单句。谓语动词为have resulted in,主语是enhanced security measures combined with a rise in airline travel,宾语为long waits at major airports。其中,介词短语in airline travel位于 a rise后面做后置定语,修饰a rise,译为“搭乘飞机出行的旅客增加”。介词短语at major airports位于long waits后面做其后置定语,修饰long waits,译为“主要机场的长队”。due to the improving economy and low oil prices是由due to引导的原因状语。such as Chicago’s O’Hare International在做major airports的同位语。
【词汇】
enhanceda.加强的
security n.安全
measuren.措施
Combine v.结合
Airlinen.航空公司;航线
waitn.等待
majora.主要的
【译文】 此后,机场加强了安检措施,又因经济不断改善、燃油价格低,搭乘飞机出行的旅客增多,致使像芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场这样的主要机场的安检等待时间很长。
