復雜的非謂語動詞的理解 例289

例289　The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.

【結構分析】這句話是個并列句，考的是require sb to do sth，句子的主語是The profession，動詞是is taking steps to require，賓語是young doctors，賓補是四個不定式短語充當，第一個不定式是to train in hospices，第二個不定式是to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies，第三個不定式是to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care，第四個不定式是to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于四個不定式的排比，有氣勢如虹的感覺，層層遞進，把醫(yī)療界對醫(yī)生的四個要求描述得很細膩。
