今天也被这篇虐的死去活来,但是发现其实发现文章最“misleading”就是第一段的那句话:
Later decisions, citing Winters, established that courts can find federal rights to reserve water for particular purposes if (20) (1) the land in question lies within an enclave under exclusive federal jurisdiction, (2) the land has been formally withdrawn from federal public lands — i.e., withdrawn from(25) the stock of federal lands available for private use under federal land use laws — and set aside or reserved, and (3) the circumstances reveal the government (30)intended to reserve water as well as land when establishing the reservation.
这句话字面意思是“满足了一下三个选项,联邦就有了水权”。这个时候我们就会有种误解:联邦跟印第安是对立的,联邦有了水权,印第安人就没了,所以理解成:满足一下三种选项,印第安人就没了水权,因为水权归联邦了。然后整篇文章就爆炸了。。。其实这个句话的字面意思的确是联邦拥有了水权,但是作者意思是只有联邦用了水权,才能把水权赋予给印第安人, i.e. "满足了以下三个选项,联邦才能拥有水权,才能赋予给印第安人"。简而言之:满足一下三个选项,印第安人才能有水权。
这篇文章我觉得难就难在这里,我只想说,这根本就是扯淡的,谁知道作者什么想法,我还特地拿去问了美国同学(GMAT 780)他也理解成我们理解错的那种了,所以。。。。。。。。。。我觉得被这里虐的同学淡定点吧。
