VOA慢速英语中遇见 有几个句子不理解.求教!
1.It will deal with the issue which we have been facing since the 1950s whereby escalating defense costs cannot be met without a significant reduction in the commitments that either or both countries undertake。这里的cannot be met表示的是什么呀?什么东西cannot be met?whereby在这里又有何用?
2.I would be very surprised if it is the first step to wider deals because there has been a far greater match between Britain and France in terms of capabilities and approaches to defense and defense cooperation has been on the agenda.match在这里作何解释?以及approach?
我来帮你分析下.由于没有更具体的语境,我就“断章取义”了.
1.翻译:
它将处理我们自1950年代起就面临的问题,凭借这一点,如果不大幅减少一国或两国所承担的责任,不断上升的国防费用就无法得到解决.
cannot be met指的是escalating defense costs cannot be met.核心就是costs cannot be met,意思是费用或成本得到满足或解决.就是解决国防费用问题.
where`by 关系副词 (fml 文) by which 靠那个; 凭那个; 借以:She devised a plan whereby they might escape.她想出了一个他们可用以逃跑的计画.
2.翻译:
如果这仅是更广泛交易的第一步,那么我将非常惊奇.因为英法两国在国防能力和国防策略方面,已经有了非常好的匹配.并且,两国间的国防合作已经提上日程.
match做名词时,意思有火柴、竞赛、配搭的含义,这里取的是第三者.
approach做名词时,意思是接近、道路、方法、意图的含义,这里取的是第三者,意译为策略.
