***2020考研每日一句來了，這是***老師第8年的堅(jiān)持，從元宵節(jié)開始一直到考前，跟著***老師一起堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)起來，下面是湖北新文道考研小編為大家整理的***每日一句第157句!

今天的句子：

It’s possible that plutocrats are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that. No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity. 

（想想你會怎么出題？）

What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class? 

A) They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation. 

B) They know that the middle class contributes most to society. 

C) They want to gain support for global economic integration. 

D) They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.

題目解析:

第一句：

It’s possible that //plutocrats(有錢有勢的人) are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class// as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory (沒收性的) tax policies. 

詞匯突破：

1.confiscatory (沒收性的) tax policies ：指的就是非常高的稅收；

2.insulate themselves from：使…免除，使…不受影響

3.solidarity 支持

句子結(jié)構(gòu)：

It’s possible that A are expressing B as part of C. 

It是形式主語：

It’s possible that翻譯為：可能

參考譯文：有錢有勢的人對于苦苦掙扎的中產(chǎn)階級表達(dá)了支持，這可能是他們使自己免受沒收性稅務(wù)政策努力的一部分

還可以 把a(bǔ)s part of an effort to作為固定短語翻譯為:目的是...

所以翻譯可以改為：

有錢有勢的人對于苦苦掙扎的中產(chǎn)階級表達(dá)了支持，其目的可能是使自己免受沒收性稅務(wù)政策的影響。

第二句:

But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy (同位語）doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. 

詞匯突破:Prospect:可能性

參考譯文：收入不平等將導(dǎo)致對富人收更高的稅，這樣的可能性不會讓那些有權(quán)有勢的人在晚上睡不著。

第三句：

They can live with that. 

參考譯文：他們受的了這一切。

第四句：（這才是真的原因！這才是考點(diǎn)句！）

No, what they fear was that //the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity. 

這里的no是對第一句中的it’s possible的否定；

主干識別：

what they fear was that+表語從句

他們害怕的是：

其他成分：

the political challenges of A will be more difficult.

A受到的來自政治方面的挑戰(zhàn)將會更嚴(yán)峻。

A=sustaining support for global economic integration

對于全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的持續(xù)支持；

because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity. 

因?yàn)榘l(fā)生在收入分配和經(jīng)濟(jì)不安全上的那些事情；

參考譯文：他們害怕的是：因?yàn)榘l(fā)生在收入分配和經(jīng)濟(jì)不安全上的那些事情,對于全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的持續(xù)支持將會受到的來自政治方面的更嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)。（譯文還不錯(cuò)吧，好好看一下。）

也就是說他們害怕失去“對于全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的持續(xù)支持。”

也就是他們想要得到對于全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的支持，

所以他們表達(dá)了對于中產(chǎn)階級的同情和支持！

背景介紹：

 （只有中產(chǎn)階級日子過得好了，政府才不會改變現(xiàn)有的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策；）

 （美國中產(chǎn)是大多數(shù)，如果他們?nèi)兆舆^得不好，他們就想改變，政府就得聽！這樣一來就會改變現(xiàn)行的支持全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的政策。而美國的富人是從全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化中獲益最多的人群，這是會真斷了他們財(cái)路的事，所以他們會關(guān)心中產(chǎn)階級！）

What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class? 

A) They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation. 

不是真正原因！

B) They know that the middle class contributes most to society. 

沒有提及！

C) They want to gain support for global economic integration.

對的！ 

D) They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.

沒有提及!
