请那位NN帮忙给一下题目的中文翻译？ 谢谢

16.   George Bernard Shaw wrote: “That any sane nation, having observed that you could provide for the supply of bread by giving bakers a pecuniary interest in baking for you, should go on to give a surgeon a pecuniary interest in cutting off your leg is enough to make one despair of political humanity.”

Shaw’s statement would best serve as an illustration in an argument criticizing which of the following?

(A) Dentists who perform unnecessary dental work in order to earn a profit

(B) Doctors who increase their profits by specializing only in diseases that affect a large percentage of the population

(C) Grocers who raise the price of food in order to increase their profit margins

(D) Oil companies that decrease the price of their oil in order to increase their market share（A）

(E) Bakers and surgeons who earn a profit by supplying other peoples’ basic needs

Why Chinese?  You should try to understand it in English and think in English.
Initially it may seem slow, and sometimes even painful, but you will surely benefit from it.

O.K.  Hope you are not mad :-)

中文大意: G.B.S.写道:”对理智的人们而言，观察到如果你给面包师金钱的好处来为你考面包的话，你就可以获得足够的面包；以此类推，足够的金钱好处会让一个外科医生来锯掉你的腿．这一切足够使人对人道感到绝望”

意思比较难表达, 多读英文原句其实更容易理解.

Robert, I am not mad at all. In fact, I agree with you.I should try to use think and write in English way.  Thank you.

用舟才能到河的彼岸

1。provide for: to make the necessary future arrangement for  准备

2。in:  表原因，目的。文中GIVE的目的

3。despair of : 对。。。绝望

4。political: 政府的，国家的

5。结构：that.....cutting off your leg 为主语从句，该从句中nation主语， should go on to谓语，having observed...为从句中的状语

6。任何一个正常的国家，可以用给面包师金钱上的利益来为你烤面包的方法来准备面包的供应，应该会继续给外科医生金钱上的利益来切断你的腿。这种情况，足够使一个人对国家道义彻底失望
