何凯文每日一句第84句

今天的句子:

The most intriguing and indisputable thing we have learned about economists in recent decades is that they don’t know nearly as much as they thought they knew.

(想想你会怎么出题?)

思考题:

思考题一:

It has been known that economists know much about what we thought they don’t know.

思考题二:

It has been known that economists are not as knowledgeable as we are expected.

词汇:

1. intriguing 耐人寻味的,有意思

2. indisputable 毫无争议的

3. economists 经济学家

解析:

The most intriguing and indisputable thing we have learned about economists in recent decades is that +宾语从句they don’t know nearly asmuchas they thought they knew.

参考译文:

这几十年我们了解到的关于经济学家的事里,最有意思也最无可争辩的就是:他们知道的没有自己想象的多。

(就是说:他们以为他们知道很多,其实他们知道的没有那么多。注意as 的断句,)

1.They don't know as much.

2.as they thought they knew.

所以思考题

思考题一:

It has been known that economists know much about what we thought they don’t know.

不对!

一顿操作猛如虎,但是完全的拼多多啊!

It has been known that= we have learned about economists in recent decades

后面就不对了!

他们知道很多关于我们认为他们不知道的。

(晕不晕?哈哈哈,到底知道还是不知道,你好好想!)

思考题二:

It has been known that economists are not as knowledgeable as we are expected.

不对!

我们对他们没有期待!

来看看后续:

As an economic journalist for roughly half a century, I have slowly and somewhat reluctantly come to the conclusion that many economists (and this applies across the political spectrum) often don’t know what they’re talking about — a shortcoming that is sometimes acknowledged and sometimes isn’t.

作为一个从业近半个世纪的经济记者,我渐渐地也多少有点不情愿地得出这样的结论:许多经济学家(无论是左派还是右派的经济学家都这样)常常不知道自己在谈论什么——这个缺点有时被承认,有时并不知道。

解释:across the political spectrum 就是说的所有政治派别;

哈哈哈,作者真心是个耿直的孩子。
