英语难句求解 If you wer

问题描述

If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months.

这句话划线部分如何理解呢？不懂，请老师解释，谢谢！

老师答疑

童老师：

elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months 的基本结构是：sb is likely to do sth.

句意：要是查看2006年世界杯联各足球运动员的出生证，你很可能发现一个值得注意的奇怪现象：优秀的足球运动员都在一年的头几个月而不是后几个月出生。
