解析     (1)is designed for“为……而设计”。介词for后所接的成分翻译时提到动词design之前,译为“的”字结构。
    句中design为动词,与for连用时,有“设计,绘制;制图计划;构思;谋划”等意。又如:
    This dictionary is designed for advanced learners of English. 这本字典是为高级英语学习者设计的。
    An area should be designed for cyclists. 应为骑车者设定一个区域。
    (2)present and future leaders当今以及未来的领导者们
    present adj. 现在的;现存的
    the present government现政府
    What is your present job? 你现在的工作是什么?
    I don’t need the literature at present. Thank you very much all the same. 我现在还不需要这些文献,但我还是要感谢你。
    (3)nonprofit sectors非盈利部门
    sector作名词解,意为“部分;部门;扇区;地区;象限;扇形”等意,又如:
    service sector服务部门
    manufacturing sector制造部门
    Every sector has been affected by the recession. 每一个部门都受到了经济衰退的冲击。
    In the financial sector, banks and insurance companies have both lost a lot of money. 在金融部门,银行和保险公司都亏损惨重。
    The new government’s policy is to transfer state industries from the public sector to the private sector. 新政府的政策是将国有产业转为私有。
    (4)pursue有“追求,寻求;不断努力以取得;继续;从事;贯彻”等意,又如:

    She has devoted all her energies to the care of the homeless people. 她将全部精力用于照顾无家可归的人们。
    He devoted all his time to his job. 他把他的全部时间都用在工作上了。
    (6)The core devotes considerable time to mastering the basic analytic and quantitative skills needed by good analysts and managers. 此句中的needed by good analysts and managers作后置定语,修饰前面的名词skills,翻译时可处理为“的”字结构:“公共管理硕士课程的核心是将大量时间用于掌握优秀分析员及经理必须具备的基础分析技术和定量技术。”
    但本句也可以将定语单独拆出,另译一句:
    公共管理硕士课程的核心是将大量时间用于掌握基础分析技术和定量技术,这是优秀分析员及经理必须具备的。
    (7)workshops文中指“专题讨论会”。例如:
