: : [出处]:CNN Student News: Summer Show - July 27, 2011
: : [说明]:这集在讲美国债务上限的问题,如果有看过的可以帮我解答一下吗@@?
: : [原文]: It's unlikely that the government would give just a few programs all the
: : money they needed and let others go without anything. The Treasury Department
: : would probably spread a thin amount of the money it had over a lot of
: : different areas, giving some programs maybe just enough to operate. But it
: : illustrates two things. One: How much more the government spends than it
: : takes in?...
: : (transcrip的倒数第二段)
: : [问题]: 就是最後一句:How much more the government spends than it
: : takes in?
: : 我觉得我是卡在不懂take in在这里是什麽意思.....
: 我刚刚也看了这篇
: 不过我跟原PO的问题不一样
: 我想问的也是同一段
: And two: Why many people in the government want that debt ceiling to be
: raised so badly, so the government can continue borrowing the money it needs
: to pay for all of its programs in full.
: 刚好接在原PO後面,这边他说的badly是指说
: 1.政府人员不希望debt ceiling不要上升
: 还是
: 2.政府人员希望debt ceiling上升,不要像现在这样糟糕?
: 因为我原本的想法是1
: 但是後面的文意,让我觉得1好像是错的
: 谢谢大大帮忙
want.....so badly,这里的badly(非常地)是用来修饰want
如果不了解上下文,当然有可能有两种意思出现
所以对於这一事件相关知识的了解,会有助於你正确理解文章意思
美国如果不尽快提高举债上限,他八月分,就会有很多款项付不出来了
所以政府人员当然很想要举债上限提高,欧巴马都出来呼吁两党能尽快达成共识
以免美国违约,债信评等被调降,造成股市大跌,GDP下降等後遗症。
多看相关消息,自然就容易掌握文章的含意!
