英语四级译文:

四级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是parents believe that。that引导的是believe的宾语从句,其中if引导的是条件状语从句。名词和动词过去分词构成的合成词university-based为program的定语,top-rated为schools and universities的定语;eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities为介词of的宾语。attend此处的意思是“参加”。
increase the chance of 的意思是“增加……的可能性、希望”。如:
This decline has increased the chance of banking crises.这次衰退增加了银行危机爆发的可能性。
admit sb. to的意思是“接收某人(入学),准许某人加入(组织)”。如:
Only women are admitted into the club.该俱乐部只接纳女会员。
