in the opinion of a number of his colleagues the cleverest man at jocelyn and the victim,here as elsewhere,of that ferocious envy of mediocrity for excellence that is the ruling passion of all systems of jobholders.
首先,这不是一句完整的话,而是一个长句的后半部分,取自1951年2月的《纽约客》杂志.
...,but in the opinion of a number of his colleagues the cleverest man at Jocelyn and the victim,here as elsewhere,of that ferocious envy of mediocrity for excellence that is the ruling passion of all systems of jobholders.
in the opinion of a number of his colleagues(在许多同事的眼中)是介词短语作状语.在他们眼中是怎样的人呢?这时,并列连词and连接了两种看法:第一是the cleverest man at Jocelyn(Jocelyn最聪明的人),第二是the victim of that ferocious envy(那种可怕的嫉妒的牺牲品).here as elsewhere作为插入语,意为“不止在这儿,在其它地方也是如此”.
envy of mediocrity for excellence意为“平庸对优秀的嫉妒”,它作为先行成分,后跟定语从句that is the ruling passion of all systems of jobholders(这种嫉妒是所有政府雇员体系里压倒一切的激烈情绪).
