Ethnic Definition Racial Prejudice Racially Based Negative Prejudgments Accepted

意群训练： His thesis works relatively well when applied to discrimination against Blacks in the United States , but his definition of racial prejudice as “racially-based negative prejudgments against a group generally accepted as a race in any given region of ethnic competition ,” can be interpreted as also including hostility toward such ethnic groups as the Chinese in California and the Jews in medieval Europe .

请思考：如果but引导的分句难以看懂，是否可用合理化原则 推理出其意思？

标志： His thesis works /relatively well/ /when applied to discrimination against Blacks in the United States/, but his definition of racial prejudice ［as “racially-based negative prejudgments against a group (generally accepted as a race) in any given region of ethnic competition，”］can be interpreted /as also including hostility toward such ethnic groups as the Chinese in California and the Jews in medieval Europe./

译文： 他的论点 /被应用于针对美国黑人的种族歧视时候/，/相对来说较为/管用 ，但是 他的对于种族偏见的定义 ［即“在任何特定区域里用基于种族的负面的先入之见来反对某人群（此人群通常被认作一个种族）”］能够被解释 /成也包括对以下民族的敌意，比如 加州的华人和中世纪欧洲的犹太人/。

解释： 本句长度惊人，插入部分比较长，再加上又不乏抽象词，所以较为难懂。在表示转折的后半个分句中，长长的插入语［as “racially-based negative prejudgments against a group（generally accepted as a race）in any given region of ethnic competition，”］作为主语his definition of racial prejudice 的同位语，使分句中的主谓相隔千山万水。除此之外，本句用词抽象，语义难以理解，对读者的词汇功底要求亦高。考试现场如无法读懂，宜用合理化原则 中的取非读法：but 之前的分句说的是其论点对美国黑人的种族歧视时较为管用，转折后的内容就应该说其理论对华人和犹太人相对无用。
