17.Editorial:

 

An arrest made by a Midville police officer is provisional until the officer has taken the suspect to the police station and the watch commander has officially approved the arrest.  Such approval is denied if the commander judges that the evidence on which the provisional arrest is based is insufficient.  A government efficiency expert has found that almost all provisional arrests meet standards for adequacy of evidence that watch commanders enforce.  The expert therefore recommends that the watch commander’s approval should no longer be required since the officers’ time spent obtaining approval is largely wasted.  This recommendation should be rejected as dangerous, however, since there is no assurance that the watch commanders’ standards will continue to be observed once approval is no longer required.

 

In the editorial, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

 

1. The first is a recommendation made by the editorial; the second acknowledges a potential objection against that recommendation.
2. The first is a proposal against which the editorial is directed; the second is a judgment reached by the editorial concerning that proposal.
3. The first provides evidence in support of a recommendation that the editorial supports; the second is the conclusion reached by the editorial.
4. The first is a position that the editorial challenges; the second is a judgment that was made in support of that challenged position.
5. The first is a recommendation that the editorial questions; the second provides evidence against that recommendation.

这道题我看到了其他人的解释，但是我的问题太弱了，没有看到，所以又拿出来问了

（1）我到现在还没有弄清出，哪些话是Editorial说的？

（2）我觉得在第一个黑体字前面的部分都是用来支持第一个黑体字的结论的

既：第一个黑体字是建立在前面的论述上的，那为什么说the first proposal against which the editorial is directed，against如何解释啊？

所以，我的答案是第一个黑体字是顺理成章的，第二个黑体字是反对第一个的

望执教

1. The whole paragraph is the editorial.

2. The final conclusion of the editorial is to reject the recommendation.  That's why it's against.
