考研阅读逐句翻译
The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.
词汇：
dramatically //adv. 戏剧性地，惊人地
adjust //v. 调整
frame //n. （人）的骨架，体形，体态
结构：
The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years（第一个并列句，其中 playing...是分词短语作定语，修饰主语 the bodies，谓语是 have changed）, //and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames（and 并列的第二个并列句）.
译文：
几年来，参加主要职业赛事的球员身材发生了很大的改变，经理人非常乐意调整队服，以适应越来越多身形更高大的队员。
翻译思路：
注意 more than 的用法，它后面跟形容词或者副词词性，表示“非常、极其、很”，这里 more than willing 表示“非常乐意”。
