解释: 从这个例子中可以看出,句子的难度也不全是与其长度成正比。比如这句话,既不算长又没有什么不认识的单词,但是偏偏很难看懂。

看不懂的原因是写文章的人使用了三重否定:should not,unequivocally,和cannot。在这里,可以明显看出ETS在考查我们的阅读能力,因为如果想把句子说成肯定的语气而不改变句子的意思是很容易的:

Despite these vague categories, one may still claim definitely that hostility be tween discernable classes can be validly observed.
