Question

In the case of NBA players,their increase in height appears to result from the
increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all over the world.appears to result 是名词结果的意思吗?increasingly 形容哪个词?practice是什么意思?

Answer 1

【难点注释】



in the case of就...来说,关于…

appears to 相当于seems to,意思是“（在表面上）看来像是/看来似乎”,后面跟动词原形,即“appear + 不定式”.

由上可知result 是动词,appear to result from…表示“似乎产生于”结果的意思吗?

increasingly 是副词,修饰形容词 common,意思是“不断增进地一般性的（实践练）”.

practice表示“（选拔球员的）实践活动”.



【参考译文】关于NBA的球员,他们身高的增加从表面上看似乎是来源于从世界各地征募球员的日益通常的实践选拔活动.
