何凯文第九十句
关于昨天的句子:
第一点解释:
昨天句子的指代迷惑性比较大,
首先,
In an echo of sth,
对某事的回应,
In an echo of A , B does sth.
作为对A的回应,B做了某事。
所以:
In an echo of (the tight strictures put on abortion in Alabama earlier this week with a law that has been passed but not yet come into force, )=A (the legislation includes an exception for medical emergencies threatening a woman’s health.)
所以legislation 肯定不是前面的law了啊。
不然怎么做为回应呢?
断句很重要,不能按惯性思维。
不用急,慢慢来就好了。
第二点解释:
The law forbids buying wine in the morning.
The law includes an exception for A, but not for B.
法律规定A可以例外,但B不能例外。
所以:
A 可以买酒,B不能买酒。
第三点解释:
法律通过了还没有生效,
所以说:The law is about to ...
第四点解释:
这样的法律争议非常大,立法过程也非常复杂,尤其是八周的规定非常不人道,包括对于强奸的规定,以及对医生的处罚,这都让我们觉得匪夷所思,但背后的争端和渊源要展开讲的话,博士论文都可以写出来了。如果只是节选一句话或者一段话来讲的话,就非常容易被断章取义。要么被扣上不尊重女性的帽子,要么被扣上鼓励堕胎不尊重生命的帽子。所以直接考的可能性非常小。从语言角度掌握就好了。
今天的句子:
An alarming, landmark U.N. report released this month illustrated a version of Clinton’s point: As the population of humans has rapidly increased, the population of everything else has steadily declined.
(想想你会怎么出题?)
思考题:
The report echoed Clinton’s point that the human population in elsewhere has regularly decreased.
看看单词:
1.An alarming, landmark U.N. report令人震惊的具有里程碑意义的联合国报告
2.illustrate 阐释,解释
3. population 人口, 其他物种的种群数量
解析:
An alarming, landmark U.N. report released this month illustrated a version of Clinton’s point: As the population of humans has rapidly increased, the population of everything else has steadily declined.
主干:
Report illustrated a version of Clinton’s point
定语:
1.An alarming, landmark U.N.
2.released this month
冒号后从句:
状语:
As the population of humans has rapidly increased,
主干:
the population of everything else has steadily declined.
参考译文:本月发表的一份令人震惊的具有里程碑意义的联合国报告阐述了克林顿的观点:随着人口的迅速增加,其他一切物种种群的数量都在稳步减少。
所以思考题:
The report echoed Clinton’s point that the human population in elsewhere has regularly decreased.
其他都对,但是the human population错了!所以错了!
今天比较温柔吧!
