真题例句
If you are part of the group which you are addressing,you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious bad taste in ties.

核心词汇
1.address [ə'dres] n.地址，演讲，讲话; v.处理，解决；演讲，对.....讲话  
2.passing ['pɑ:siŋ a.短暂的，偶然的，不经意的
3.inedible [in'edibl] a.不可食用的，难吃的            
4.taste [teist] n.味道，品味
5.notorious [nəu'tɔ:riəs] a.臭名昭著的           
6.appropriate [ə'prəuprieit] a.合适的，适宜的

具体分析
这是一个由if引导的条件句，主句由两个并列的分句组成，在第一个分句中，you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you，定语从句which are common to all of you（对所有人共同的）修饰the experiences and problems（经历和问题）；第二个分句中it作形式主语，实际主语是to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious bad taste in ties（对餐厅难吃的食物或者总裁在选择领带方面差劲的品味进行随意评论）

译文
如果你是你演讲对象的一员，你就能够了解你们所共有的经历和问题，你对餐厅难吃的食物或者总裁在选择领带方面差劲的品味进行随意评论就是合适的。
