译文
“以往集中于年轻人的政策关注和资源分配无法满足新的需求。”研究报告的作者斯蒂芬·麦克奈尔教授如是说。
点睛
Professor Stephen McNair是the report's author的同位语,用以具体说明author是谁。concentration意为“集中”,常与介词on连用,引出集中的目标;need此处为名词,意为“需求”,与meet连用,表示“满足需求”。
考点归纳
need作名词时,用法如下:
意为“需要;必要”。如:
There is a great need for books on this subject. 非常需要有该主题的图书。
意为“基本需要,基本必需品”,常用作needs。如:
They don't have enough to satisfy their needs. 他们无法满足自己的基本需要。
意为“贫穷;不幸;逆境”。如:
She helped me in my hour of need. 她在我困难的时候帮过我。
