Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political, and intellectual development of these and all other societies, however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong.
【核心词汇】
conventional a.常规的,习俗的
priority n.优先,优先权
promote v.促进,推动
undoubtedly ad.确实地,毋庸置疑地
【结构分析】
本句是转折句,前一句的结果相对简单,Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary是典型的主系表结构,for表示“对……来说”,介词结构for the social, political, and intellectual development of these and all other societies作状语,however之后的分句的主干是 the conventional view is wrong,view后面的education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries是同位语从句,用来进一步说明其前面的名词view,表明view的具体内容。

对于这些国家和所有其他的社会、政治以及知识发展,这两方面的进步毫无疑问是必要的;但是,教育应该是促进贫穷国家经济迅速发展的先考虑的事情之一,这样的传统观点是错误的。
