英語四級閱讀關(guān)鍵句：290. It came as something of a surpr

290. It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross's campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines.

譯文

1997年，威爾士王妃戴安娜出訪安哥拉，支持紅十字會(huì)關(guān)于全面廢除非人道地雷的活動(dòng)，這一事件在當(dāng)時(shí)引起了轟動(dòng)。

點(diǎn)睛

when引導(dǎo)的是主語從句，句首的it僅為形式主語。插入語Princess of Wales是Diana的同位語；to support the Red Cross's campaign...landmines為目的狀語，其中all anti-personnel landmines為介詞on的賓語。

campaign for的意思是“要求（為爭取）……的運(yùn)動(dòng)”。如：

He conducted a compaign for reform. 他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了一場要求改革的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

ban on的意思是“對……的禁令”。如：

There is a total ban on smoking in the office. 辦公室全面禁止吸煙。
