每日一句
Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts churches in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston.
词汇突破
minister [ˈmɪnɪstə(r)]
n. 部长；大臣；牧师
vi. 执行牧师职务
结构分析
句子主干是 there were political leaders like John Winthrop。Besides the ninety... after 1629 是状语，表伴随情况，在该状语中，who 引导的是定语从句，修饰 ministers。an educated... of the Crown 是 John Winthrop 的同位语；before he journeyed to Boston 是时间状语从句。learned 指博学的、有学问的。
参考译文
在1629年之后的十年里，除了大约90位学识渊博的牧师来到马萨诸塞教堂外，还有像约翰·温斯洛普这样的政治领袖，在他来到波士顿之前，他是一位受过良好教育的绅士、律师和皇室官员。
