19考研英語：屠屠長難句（五十五）
1每日一句長難句
The teachers who took part in the program also told me of their worries that they might be force-feeding their pupils information rather than stimulating the discussion necessary to ensure they grasped the importance to them of what they were being taught.
2【結構分析】
主語The teachers 後跟who引導的定語從句。also told me of their worries是謂語部分，their worries後跟that引導的同位語從句that they might be force-feeding their pupils information rather than stimulating the discussion說明worries的具體內容。necessary to ensure是形容詞結構修飾discussion。ensure後面的賓語是一個省略了引導詞that的賓語從句they grasped the importance of what they were being taught。to them是插入語，“對他們”。
3【詞彙】
tell sb. of sth. 告知某人某事
force-feed 強行灌輸(force-feed sb. sth.)
stimulate 激發
grasp the importance of…掌握…的要領，關鍵內容
4【參考譯文】
參與節目的老師們還告訴我，他們擔心自己可能是在向學生強行灌輸知識與信息，而不是激勵他們討論，這些討論非常必要，因爲可以保證他們能掌握他們所學知識的要領。
5【明日長難句】
The trouble with that approach is that consumers tend to prefer devices that require simply plugging them in, without complicated setups of wireless channels, security, and other features common to home networks.
