The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
【分析】
本句主语的重要词汇是The great interest in exceptional children，后面是分词结构作后置定语shown in public education over the past three decades，其中over the past three decades是时间状语。谓语动词是indicates, 宾语是the strong feeling in our society, that引导分割式同位语从句解释the strong feeling，从句中all citizens是主语，后面是插入语，谓语部分是deserve the opportunity to…。
[语法知识拓展]
分割式同位语从句指的是先行词和关系词之间还带有其他成分，通常是介词短语。如何判断是不是分割式，一是看从句的动词形式，比方说I know many places in the world that have their own cultures. 从句中动词是have，显然前面的名词是places，不是world。二是根据句意。
【词汇】
show great interest in对…表示强烈的兴趣
deserve the opportunity to 享有…的机会
【译文】在过去的30年中，公共教育中显示的对残疾儿童的巨大关注表明了我们社会中的一种强烈的情绪，那就是所有的公民，不管其情况有多特殊，都应享有充分发展其能力的机会。

【词汇】
