1When people in developing countries worry about migration, they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities in the developed world.
主干主语:people;谓语:worry;宾语:migration。主句:they are concerned at the prospect of their departure。
结构这是一个时间状语从句与主句结构复杂的复合句。当从句是时间状语从句,主句是be concerned at the prospect of + 名词短语的固定结构。'prospect of their departure' 作介词短语修饰 concerned,'best and brightest' 是定语修饰 'departure','departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities' 是动词短语作宾语,'in the developed world' 是后置定语修饰前面的目的地短语。句中包含时间从句、主句的介词结构和修饰关系,容易混淆修饰范围。
译文当发展中国家的人们担心移民问题时,他们通常担心的是自己最优秀、最聪明的人前往硅谷或发达世界医院和大学的远景。

2These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates.
主干主语:These;谓语:are;宾语:the kind of workers。定语从句修饰 workers。
结构这是一个带有双重定语从句的复杂句子。主句是 'These are the kind of workers','that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract' 是非限制性定语从句修饰 'workers','by using immigration rules' 是方式状语,'that privilege college graduates' 是第二个定语从句修饰 'rules'。句中存在两个定语从句嵌套,'like Britain, Canada and Australia' 是插入修饰,容易误判哪个从句修饰哪个成分。
译文这些就是英国、加拿大和澳大利亚等国通过移民政策优先录取大学毕业生来吸引的那种类型的人才。
