Some might see the proposal as a body prize for the fact that Britain is no longer able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture, a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008. (2020年英语一text 1)

词汇注释：prestigious 有威望的，声誉高的;

sought-after 争相获得的，受欢迎的

bag 抢占，占有

功能注释：句子主干是Some might see the proposal as a body prize for the fact …是主谓宾结构的句式结构，for the fact是原因状语。that Britain is no longer able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture为fact的同位语从句。a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008是作为European capital of culture的同位语，其中过去分词短语bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008作后置定语修饰award。

句意：有些人也许会认为上述提议不过是个安慰奖，因为英国已经不再有资格去申请更具声望的“欧洲文化之都”称号了。“欧洲文化之都”是一个备受青睐的奖项，被格拉斯哥和利物浦分别在1990年和2008年收入囊中。
