cn | 译文: 他 有可能相信 ,他 不能够既批评 美国的对外政策 ,/同时又不危及到(他从联邦政府那里已经获得的)对民权运动的支持/。 |
explain | 解释: 单从语言上来讲,这句话并不难。但是我们可以发觉作者在句子中拐弯抹角的、双重否定的表达,想说的一定不是字面上的意思。 这是一个标准的正话反说:“他 有可能相信 ,他 不能够既批评 美国的对外政策, /同时又不危及到(他从联邦政府那里已经获得的)对民权运动的支持/”的实际意思就是:他可能相信,如果他 批评 美国的对外政策 ,就有可能会危及到(他从联邦政府那里已经获得的)对民权运动的支持。 其实这是一个较为简单的思维转换,也是GRE和GMAT的阅读和逻辑中经常出现的表达方法。希望读者通过反复地训练,迅速习惯这种语言方式。 |
