in place为习语,意为: in the state of being used or active 在实施中,在应用中。

词典例句:

The new computer system should be in place by next Monday.

These changes were already in place when the new president took office.

Plans are in place for the upcoming hurricane season.

 

Plans are in place to build about 113 kilometers of wall in this area.

这个句子中,are in place意为已经在实施中。不定式为plans的分隔式定语(表示同位关系)。句子翻译为:在这个地区修建大约113公里的边境墙的计划已经在实施中。

Plans are in place to build about 113 kilometers of wall in this area.
in place 是个表语成分,后接不定式。说明 “做某事已经到位”。这跟 be in a hurry to do sth. 结构类似。

Dave was in a hurry to get back to work. 戴夫急于回去工作

本句说明,计划已经制定好了,可以在这个地区修建大约113公里的边界墙了
