今天的句子：

The event was the inaugural stop in Community Boost, a kind of roving technical college that Facebook plans to bring to at least 30 mid-sized U.S. cities this year. Each installment offers a few days of lectures, smaller “breakout” sessions, and one-on-one consultations, free for anyone who shows up. The goal, according to Facebook, is to teach business owners and employees the “digital skills” to make it online.

思考题：

Community Boost is set to train Facebook on the digital skills in mid-sized cities.

第一句：

The event was the inaugural stop in Community Boost, a kind of roving technical college that Facebook plans to bring to at least 30 mid-sized U.S. cities this year.

1.stop： 站 the inaugural stop 第一站;首站

2. roving technical college 流动的技术学院

主干识别：

The event was the inaugural stop in Community Boost

切分成分：

1. a kind of roving technical college 同位语补充说明Community Boost

（独立成句）=The Community Boost is a kind of roving technical college

2. that Facebook plans to bring to at least 30 mid-sized U.S. cities this year. 

定语从句；that= Community Boost

独立成句：

Facebook plans to bring the Community Boost to at least 30 mid-sized U.S. cities this year.

参考译文：这次活动是Community Boost的首站，Community Boost一种流动的技术学院，Facebook计划在今年将其带给至少30个美国中等规模的城市。

所以思考题的说法是错了。

第二句：

Each installment offers a few days of lectures, smaller “breakout” sessions, and one-on-one consultations, free for anyone who shows up.

1. installment 一期（英式英语拼写为：instalment）

2. “breakout” sessions 分组讨论

3.  one-on-one consultations 一对一咨询

主干识别：

Each installment offers a few days of lectures, smaller “breakout” sessions, and one-on-one consultations

切分成分：

定语：free for anyone who shows up （对任何到场的人都是免费的）。

肯定有同学会问到底是一对一免费呢？还是全面的”讲座，分组讨论和一对一都免费呢？“我小的时候和你们一样，可是觉得自己发现了个问题了，其实这是书面语言表达的二义性，很难免，并且意思差别真不大，（如果你真想知道你就可以打电话去问组委会，要是一下就能说清楚，还要人工咨询做什么。包括我们凯旋门报名，招生简章说的那么清楚，同样还有很多人来问呢。考试也不会在这里设置考点。）同时作者还用逗号隔开了也是为了提示不只是修饰一对一咨询。

参考译文：每一期都提供几天的讲座、较小分组讨论和一对一的咨询，而且这些对任何到场的人都是免费的。

第三句：

The goal, according to Facebook, is to teach business owners and employees the “digital skills” to make it online.

1.Make it online : 经营在线业务

2.teach sb sth 教会某人某事

参考译文：根据Facebook的说法，我们的目标是教会企业主和员工“数字技能”，使其能够经营在线业务。
