        　　To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the
Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in
fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British
government's policy regarding landmines.
        　　英语四级译文:
        　　随后证明，公主的旅行得到了外交部的批准，而且她确实熟悉安哥拉的情，也了解英国当局对于地雷的政策，这使政府的处境更加艰难。
        　　四级词汇讲解:
        　　本句的主干是it emerged that...and that…其中，两个that引导的从句都是形式主语it所代替的真正主语。the
situation in Angola and the British govemment's policy regarding landmines为be
well-informed about的宾语。
        　　emerge在本句中意为“(事实)显现出来”。如:
        　　It has emerged that he is the one who stole the money.现在终于发现，是他偷了那笔钱。
        　　the Foreign
Office在本句中指“英国的外交部”。Angola指“安哥拉”，是一个位于非洲西南部的国家。landmine意为“地雷”。
        　　英语四级考点归纳:
        　　动词不定式作状语时，一般表示目的。如:
        　　He went to Paris to learn French.他去巴黎学法语。
        　　而本句中的to make matters worse for the
government则表示结果。由于动词的现在分词形式常被用来表示结果，因此，本句可以变为:
        　　It soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign
Office，and that shewas in fact very well-informed about both the situation in
Angola and the British government'spolicy regarding landmines, making matters
worse for the government.
