六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是I’m…applying to graduate school... which means someday…get what they want是由which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰逗号之前的部分;其中where people need to…get what they want是由where引导的限制性定语从句,用来修饰profession;in order to…是该定语从句中的目的状语。apply to的意思是“申请”。如:
If you want to apply to an American university, you should prepare a lot of materials in advance.
如果你想申请美国的大学,就需要提前准备许多资料。
to be nice to的意思是“善待”。如:
Alll ever wanted out oflife is to be nice to people and have them be nice to me.
