譯文 現(xiàn)在,人們普遍認為沒有一所大學能夠在學生畢業(yè)的時候教給他們所有的知識。
點睛 本句利用主語從句避免了人稱做句子主語,類似的用法還有it is widely/commonly/generally/universally believed/accepted/held/thought/acknowledged that...。by the time在此處意為“在……之前”,如:
By the time our teacher came in, we had started speaking English. 在老師進來之前,我們都已經開始講英語了。
除此之外,by the time還有“這時候,在此時”的意思,相當于at the/that time,如:
By the time he had lost contact with the Party. 這時他已和黨失去聯(lián)系。
