上周晚些時候,一些高標準大學也就是我們熟悉的常青藤名校,類似于我國的985,211這樣的學校闯割,收到司法部的來函,內容涉及“大學間關于提前錄取的潛在協(xié)議”竿拆。該“協(xié)議”下宙拉,大學互相交流入選學生的信息;這在司法部眼里這種做法可能違反了反壟斷法丙笋。
今天的句子:
Outsiders have long been curious how admissions decisions are made. Most of the time this desire for transparency stems from a desire for fairness: Given how few acceptances elite institutions can offer, admitting any group of students almost always means excluding a much larger group that is just as qualified.
第一句:
Outsiders have long been curious how admissions decisions are made.
詞匯突破:
1.Outsiders:局外人
2.Curious:好奇
3.admissions decision:錄取決定
參考譯文:局外人早就感到好奇——錄取決策是如何達成的谢澈?
第二句:
Most of the time this desire for transparency stems from a desire for fairness: Given how few acceptances elite institutions can offer, admitting any group of students almost always means excluding a much larger group that is just as qualified.
詞匯突破:
1.transparency 公開,透明
2. stems from:源于御板,你要記住這就是個因果詞锥忿,類似的表達有:
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Come from, spring from, originate from
? ? ? ? ? ? ? (前面是結果,后面是原因)
3.given:鑒于怠肋,考慮到敬鬓,因為
4. how few: 非常少
主干識別:
Most of the time this desire for transparency stems from a desire for fairness:
切分成分:
冒號后的狀語:
Given how few acceptances elite institutions can offer
鑒于精英學校的錄取機會很少丧肴,
冒號后的主句:
admitting any group of students almost always means excluding a much larger group that is just as qualified.
主語:admitting any group of students (almost always)
? ? ? (動名詞短語做主語)
動詞:means (意味著)
賓語:excluding a much larger group (that is just as qualified定語從句)
? ? ? (動名詞短語做賓語)
參考譯文:大多數(shù)時候這種對信息公開的渴望源自對公正的追求:鑒于精英學校的錄取機會很少,接收任何學生幾乎總是意味著敷矫,拒絕另外一大批同樣有資格的學生灸叼。
(有的時候想想,別人還真的是有一點制度的優(yōu)勢数尿,不過這樣更利于我們自己變得強大吧仑性!公平真的只是弱者向強者的呼喚。那就讓我們成為強者并讓這個世界變得更美好右蹦,讓即使是弱者也能更有尊嚴吧诊杆。)
所以思考題的答案就是:
a desire for fairness
明天的句子:
The students didn’t tend to think of famous scientists like Albert Einstein as actual, imperfect people like themselves—students who didn’t learn about the scientists’ struggles were more likely to say that those scientists had innate talent and aptitude which separated them from everyone else. This mentality has been shown to be particularly detrimental to students in STEM fields, where droves of kids who originally seemed interested end up dropping out after they struggle in a class or fail a test.
思考題:
The dropping out usually leads to kid’s poor performance of exam and struggle.
