3. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body.
【解析】本句的主干简单易懂,是The globalization of education means…。但其后的宾语从句的结构复杂,该从句的主干是more universities will be seeking heads,heads 之后的with international experience of some kind 是介词短语做定语。句末的to promote international programs and attract a global student body是目的状语。
【译文】教育全球化意味着更多的大学将要聘用那些具有国际经验的校长,以促进国际间项目的合作,招收留学生。
