2018考研英语长难句分析指导（五十一）

．Minority youths arrested on violent felony charges in California are more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be transferred out of the juvenile-justice system and tried as adults, according to a study released last week by the Justice Policy Institute, a research center in San Francisco.

结构分析：这是一个比较长的简单句。“more than twice as likely as their white counterparts”是一种表示倍数的表达方式；“to be transferred out of the juvenile-justice system and tried as adults”不定式短语来修饰white counterparts; “according to a study released last week by the Justice Policy Institute”做状语；“a research center in San Francisco”是“the Justice Policy Institute”的同位语。

译文：旧金山的一个研究中心--刑法政策研究所,上周发表的研究结果表明，在加利福尼亚，因为犯重罪被少年法庭转出,而以成人的身份被审判逮捕的非白人少年，比白人少年的两倍还要多。
