六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是Few...fellows...had good things to say...。winners of...accomplishment是主语的同位语,for引导的介词短语作定语修饰Award;about引导的介词短语作后置定语修饰things;if引导一个条件状语从句。
accomplishment意为“成就,成绩”,该词还可表示“完成”。如:
Time will be crucial to the accomplishment of these objectives.

precollegiate schooling意为“大学前的学习生涯”。place在句中作动词,意为“安排,归类”。如:
The office is placed under the economic department.
这个办公室被划归经济部门领导。
