各位牛人同学,OG上的一道题,还请大家帮忙解答,题目如下。 1. A person who agrees to serve as mediator between two warring factions at the request of both abandons by so agreeing the right to take sides later. To take sides at a later point would be to suggest that the earlier presumptive impartiality was a sham. The passage above emphasizes which of the following points about mediators? A They should try to form no opinions of their own about any issue that is related to the dispute. B They should not agree to serve unless they are committed to maintaining,a stance of impartiality. C They should not agree to serve unless they are equally acceptable to all parties to a dispute. D They should feel free to take sides in the dispute right from the start, provided that they make their biases publicly known. E They should reserve the right to abandon their impartiality so as not to be open to the charge of having been deceitful. 问题,文章第一句话怎么划分句子主干? 问题2,答案选B,如何推断的? -- by 会员 AprilHuang514 (2012/2/15 16:37:31)
这句话的主干是A person abandons 。。。 我搜索了下一个解释,看能不能解释 RIGHT answer: They should not agree to serve unless they are committedto maintaining a stance of impartiality.
这道题的关键是abandon这个词,它是aperson的谓语动词,它不是大家经常理解的放弃的意思,他的意思是"终止",大韦氏词典第5个意思:to cease frommaintaining.刚好对应了B选项to maintaining。
整个句子的解释是: 一个被两国要求,并且同意作为两国间调解员而服务的人,他的服务将会因为他同意选其中一边站而终止,那么他选边站的事实,就意味着他早先弄的公正就是假的(就说他是其中一国的托,前面作为中间人建立了所谓的公正,后面就选边站了)
选项意思是调节员除非要保证永远保持中立姿态,否则就不能作为调解员而服务。
新加入:OG官方解释 Explanation By pointing out the consequencesof abandoning impartiality, theparagraph points out theimportance for mediators ofmaintaining impartiality at alltimes. abandon的是 impariality,放弃or终止的是公平性 |
