听力原文

219. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist(活动家)who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising.

译文

最后,董事会决定聘用69岁的科罗拉多商人和政治活动家布鲁斯·本森,因为他能很好地完成现代高校校长的主要任务——筹集资金。

点睛

本句的主干是board picked Bruce Benson。Bruce Benson之后的内容皆为其同位语;who引导的是以businessman and political activist为先行词的定语从句;冒号之后的内容fund-raising是对main task of modern university presidents的解释说明。

be likely to do sth.的意思是“可能做某事”,likely也可用在be likely that的结构中。如:

It's very likely that he'll ring me tomorrow. 他很可能明天给我打电话。

do well in的意思是“在……方面做得很好”。如:

John does well in maths. 约翰的数学成绩很好。

考点归纳

意为“在……方面做得很好,擅长……”的常见表达除do well in之外,还有:

be good at。如:

She is good at painting. 她擅长绘画。

be expert at/in。如:

She's expert at making stylish clothes. 她做时装很在行。

be skilled at/in。如:

He is skilled at making furniture. 他做家具很有一手。
