每日一句：2017考研英语第二十一句

来源：何凯文

昨天的句子中有一个单词： General-purpose 我的解释错了，

解释：Having a wide range of different uses; 多功能的，多用途的；

语言学习就是没有止境，不能偷懒，但凡有一点不确定的就该查字典，不应该想当然，直面错误是提升的开始。再次给大家道歉了！不过我相信这样大家会更加深刻的记住这个单词吧。 昨天句子的解析：

But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.

词汇突破： 1.primary 首要的 2.moral code 道德原则/规范 3.Govern 管理，支配，统治

4.dedicate one’s energies to sth 致力于某事 5.exploration 探索，探究

句子解析：还是not…any more than 结构，双方否定的句型；还是把句子拆分：

A= But his primary task is not to think about the moral code

which governs his activity.

B= a businessman is (not) expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.

参考译文：但是，他的首要任务并不是考虑支配自己行动的道德规范，就如同（我们）不能指望商人会致力于探索行业规范一样。 KK友情提示： Not…any more than, 从结构上我们已经掌握了，再从表意功能上看，我们其实可以知道，这个结构很多时候就是为了把两个表示否定的句子连接起来而已。第二个句子所表述的事实往往是被读者所熟悉的，和接受的，这样能更好的表达第一个句子的意思。 再提醒一下，这个结构中的not,可以不是not，可以是其他的否定词，no, few, hardly, never，nobody都可以； 同学们试着看看下面的句子:

Nobody with any sense expects to find the whole truth in job advertisement //any more than he expects a man applying for a job to describe his shortcomings and more serious faults. 这个句子同样是结构:not...any more than 的变体;这是在这里not 变成了nobody;

Nobody with any sense expects to find the whole truth in job advertisement

One with any sense (有头脑的人) 先翻前半句：

任何有头脑的人都不指望招聘广告里说的话都是真话，

any more than + 否定含义

同样他也不会指望求职者会说出自己的缺点和严重过失。

参考译文：任何有头脑的人都不指望招聘广告里说的话都是真话，同样他也不会指望求职者会说出自己的缺点和严重过失。 欧洲经济一直是在苦苦挣扎，

E.C.B. Takes Bold Steps to Stimulate Eurozone Economy 欧洲央行推出强力措施刺激欧元区经济

The European Central Bank took a series of unexpected and radical steps on Thursday to stimulate the sluggish Euro zone economy, including effectively paying banks to lend money. 欧洲银行(European Central Bank)采取了一系列出人意料的激进措施，包括相当于出钱让银行放贷，以刺激疲软的欧元区经济。 下面这个句子可是一个不可多得的句子，来吧今天的任务： While increasing the penalty it charges banks to store funds in its virtual vaults, as expected, the central bank surprised analysts and investors by saying it would also offer four-year loans to commercial banks under an arrangement that would pay the banks interest on money they lend to businesses and consumers.
