当两个状语同时出现时，怎么判断最后那个状语修饰的是谁

5 当两个状语同时出现时，怎么判断最后那个状语修饰的是谁

They point out that today we confront a competition that is better motivated, better trained, and smarter than we have ever met before. Moreover, this new breed of competitor nation makes it their governmental policy to maintain their educational standards in pursuit of greater excellence.

此句，governmental policy 后面同时出现了 to maintain不定式，和介词短语in pursuit of。

我的问题是 in pursuit of修饰的到底是前面那个不定式呢？还是 governmental policy？

举一反三的话，当两个状语同时出现时，怎么判断最后那个状语修饰的是谁？是按就近原则来吗？

（PS 我语法研究的少，如果我上面的描述有错误，请指正！谢谢）

回答：修饰 to maintain their educational standards

具体解答如下：

这句话原本是这样的：

Moreover, this new breed of competitor nation makes [to maintain their educational standards in pursuit of greater excellence] their governmental policy.

主语 this new breed of competitor nation

谓语 makes

宾语 [to maintain their educational standards in pursuit of greater excellence]

宾语补足语their governmental policy

由于宾语太长，所以用 it 作形式宾语，把真正的宾语后置了，即：放置到句子的最后了

那么可以单独看一下 maintain their educational standards in pursuit of greater excellence这部分

翻译：在追求卓越的同时，要维持教育的标准

因此：in pursuit of greater excellence 作为 maintain their educational standards 的状语
