句中的experienced(富有經(jīng)驗的)和informed(見識廣的，有知識的) 都是動詞的過去分詞作定詞，修飾動詞。單個的過去分詞作定語時，通常放在它所修飾的名詞前面。
e.g. a fallen tree一棵倒下的樹 a broken chair一把破椅子
(2) informed adj. 明智的，有知識的，了解情況的
e.g. he is a well-informed man.他是個消息靈通的人。

the two reporters agreed to switch roles for once and be the interviewees rather than the interviewers in order to let us know about their work and how the news we read in made.兩位記者同意交換角色，作一次受訪者而不是采訪者，讓我們了解他們的工作，了解我們讀到的新聞是怎樣制作和編寫出來的。
