The lesson of the financial crisis is that it wasn’t just the product of overzealous regulators or greedy capitalists. They played a role, but the larger role was played by the convergence of many forces that we understand only in retrospect and can control only with difficulty.
思考题一:
Many forces rather than regulators and capitalists contribute to the financial crisis.
思考题二:
The financial crisis has more to do with the convergence of many forces.
再来看看单词:
1. overzealous 过分热心的
2. greedy 贪婪的
3. regulator 监管者
4. convergence 汇集
5. in retrospect 回顾
6. with difficulty 用力,费力
参考译文:金融危机的教训是,它不仅仅是过度热心的监管机构或贪婪的资本家的产物。他们是一部分的原因,但更大的原因是许多力量的汇集,而这些力量只有在我们回顾的时候才能理解,只有很努力才能控制他们。
所以思考题:
思考题一:
Many forces rather than regulators and capitalists contribute to the financial crisis.
rather than 而不是,表示否定
他们不是主要原因,但也是原因 。
所以这个题是不对的。
思考题二:
The financial crisis has more to do with the convergence of many forces.
(A have much to do with B A是结果,B 是原因)
(A have more to do with B A是结果,B是主要原因)
所以这个题对。
