10.   Even in a democracy, it is necessary to restrict the dissemination of advanced technological knowledge that is of commercial or national-security value. Dissemination to certain countries, those that are or will be competitors or enemies, should be selectively prohibited. There must, however, be free exchange of scientific information.

In order to act in accordance with the position above, it would be necessary to be able to rely on each of the following EXCEPT:

(A) It is possible to distinguish with confidence, despite any changes in the international environment, friendly or noncompetitive from hostile or competitive nations.

(B) In a democracy, it is not necessary that the public have detailed knowledge of the country’s advanced technology in order, for example, to make informed decisions about the direction public policy should take.

(C) In most fields of science, basic scientific research is further advanced in countries that are democracies than in countries that are not democracies.

(D) In each field of science, it is possible to distinguish scientific information from advanced technological knowledge that is of commercial or national-security value.（C）

(E) In cases where a company that use advanced technology is a multinational organization, it is possible to keep information about the technology from being passed across designated national boundaries.

我不知道B有什么作用,好像不相关啊

B和原文第一句话相关，是第一句话的必要条件

谢谢, 我只重视后半句,忽略了前面. LAWYER_1, 我经常看到你的发贴,很能点到别人的痛处,有水平.

另外,还想请教一个问题, not necessary 的理解是可能(possible) ,还是不需要, 在大部分的资料中是可能, 但我有的时候觉得翻译不通.

please give me an example showing that not necessary means possible

jiechen

Buddy 版本--杨鹏抽象词释义中, 专门解释:  not necesarily : possibly, but not certainly

This is not necessarily true.

Expensive restaurants aren't necessarily  the best.

Having this disease does not necessarily mean when you will die young.

swimmingfrog

necessary : something that is necessary is what you need to have or need to do

not necessary : not need to (不必要)

1。This is not necessarily true。(不必要是真的。即有可能是假的，有可能是真的) 但一般注重前者，即possible not true

2。Expensive restaurants aren't necessarily  the best.（不必要是最好的。即有可能不是最好的）possible not the best

3。Having this disease does not necessarily mean when you will die young。（有病不是一定会早死.即有病有可能不会早死）possible not die yong.

建议不要将NOT NECESSARILY记为POSSIBLE，两者强调的不同。前者强掉其后面的内容没有（不是必要的），后者强调的是其后面的内容有（有可能）。
