342. Children in low-income families and poor communities are less likely to take organized youth sports for granted because they often lack the resources needed to pay for participation fees, equipment, and transportation to practices and games and their communities do not have resources to build and maintain sports fields and facilities.
譯文
對于來自低收入家庭和貧困社區(qū)的孩子來說,參加有組織的青少年體育活動就不太可能是理所當然的了,因為他們通常缺少必要的經費去支付參與費用、設備和交通費用,而且他們的社區(qū)也沒有資源去修建和維護體育場及體育設施。
點睛
in low-income families and poor communities為主語children的后置定語。community意為“社區(qū)”;be likely to do sth.意為“很可能做某事”。because引導的是原因狀語從句,其中needed to...practices and games為resources的后置定語。
