第042句

Traditionally legal leaming has been viewed in such institutions the special preserve of lawyers, rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person.

译文：传统上，在这些学院中，法律学习一直被看成是律师的特权，而非受过教育之人必备的知识素养。

点睛：traditionally为整句的状语。preserve此处为名词，意为“某人专有的活动、爱好”。rather than...为主语补足语。
