参考译文: 与此同时,部分受特朗普的启发,从叙利亚到西班牙的政界人士现在公开攻击记者,称他们“虚假”或“有偏见”,指责他们歪曲现实。
第二句:
The public, meanwhile, sees journalists as too soft on power or too close to the wealthy and don’t trust what they perceive as conflicts of interest.
解析
主干识别:
The public sees journalists as too soft on power or too close to the wealthy and don’t trust+宾语从句
其他成分+独立成句:
what they perceive as conflicts of interest
what 通常可以这样处理:what= something that
比如:I don’t believe what he said
= I don’t believe something /that he said.
所以: what they perceive as conflicts of interest
=something that they perceive as conflicts of interest
被公众看作是利益冲突的事情
参考译文:与此同时,公众认为记者在权力上太软弱,或者与富人关系过于密切,不相信他们所认为的和利益冲突(相关的事情)。
思考题:
The public don’t believe the report involving conflicts of interest .
这个说法是正确的;
what they perceive as conflicts of interest
= the report involving conflicts of interest
句子来源和文章背景:
英国卫报也是考研文章的重要来源,这是22号的一篇文章:
文章题目:If news is dying, who will safeguard democracy?
如果新闻死了,那谁来捍卫民主呢?
文章开头就写到:现在做新闻不如教新闻,做记者不如做教记者的老师。新闻业的衰退是有多方面原因的。而不信任是其中重要的原因。社会离不开新闻监督,而新闻业也必须面对问题作出改变。
