explain

解释: 本句主语很长,而且谓语suggested与that引导的宾语从句间被插入语but did not prove隔开,造成阅读障碍。当suggest与but did not prove连在一起使用的时候,其意思不是建议,而是指一种基于主观臆测的推理,中文翻译成“暗示”。其英文释义为:to call to mind by thought or association <the explosion...suggested sabotage—F. L. Paxson>。在GRE、GMAT以及LSAT文章中,常用suggest,but do not prove来描述一种没有真凭实据的、可能有问题的理论,然后在后面的叙述中把它否掉。
