Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition  to academia more attractive, according to Lee. (2010. 阅读. Text 2)
【译文】李认为，越往象牙塔的高处走，薪酬就降得越明显。但是，由于大学需要大量行业经验丰富的研究人员，这就迫使学校提高转向大学做学术的吸引力。
【析句】主句的主干是the demand for scientists... is forcing universities to make..., 具体说来，with a wealth of experience..作伴随状语。这个句子难理解的部分在前面，Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is more significant, 要注意the ladder不是生活中的“梯子”，在这里含有指代意义，尤其指代职场上职位、地位的高低。higher up the ladder在结构上是形容词短语作伴随，并且还有where引导的非限制性定语从句修饰。
