支付報酬
The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases such as the trial of Rosemary.
譯文
政府將禁止報社向證人支付報酬,那些報社試圖買通涉及諸如羅斯瑪麗審判等著名案件的證人。
點睛
be to do表將來,該句用is to ban表示“將要禁止”的概念。由介詞by可知,newspapers是支付payments的一方?,F(xiàn)在分詞短語seeking to...作newspapers的后置定語,其中buy up意為“收購;盡量購買”。過去分詞短語involved in.作后置定語限定people,such as...舉例說明prominent cases。
