重点句式83

今天的句子:

Maybe Walmart’s new program, as Kelchen says, shows that the company has learned from the successes and failures of other employer-sponsored tuition programs, or, more cynically, it’s a chance to change the narrative about how it treats its employees. But one thing is for sure: There are a lot of employees who stand to benefit.

思考题:

What is author’s attitude towards Walmart’s new program?

A. cynical B. supportive C. questionable D. critical

第一句:

Maybe Walmart’s new program, as Kelchen says, shows that the company has learned from the successes and failures of other employer-sponsored tuition programs, or, more cynically, it’s a chance to change the narrative about how it treats its employees.

词汇突破:

1. employer-sponsored tuition programs 雇主资助的学费项目

2.cynical: 认为人都是自私的; 愤世嫉俗的

3.narrative:叙述,描述;这里可以理解为:评价

切分:

1. as Kelchen says,

2.Maybe Walmart’s new program shows that

3. the company(指的就是沃尔玛) has learned from the successes and failures of other employer-sponsored tuition programs,

4.or, more cynically, it’s a chance to change the narrative about how it treats its employees.

参考译文:就如Kelchen所说的那样,可能沃尔玛的新项目只是展示出沃尔玛已经从其他公司发起的学费项目的成败中获得了经验,或者更加愤世嫉俗的的讲,这不过是沃尔玛找了一个机会去改变(外界)对其对待员工方式的评价。

(这句话是Kelchen的观点。)

第二句:

But one thing is for sure: There are a lot of employees who stand to benefit.

词汇突破:

1.Stand to benefit: 受益

参考译文:

但是,有一件事情是确定的:很多员工是受益的。

这句话是作者的观点(文中没有说是谁的观点那就是作者的观点。)

所以思考题答案就是:B. supportive

A. cynical B. supportive C. questionable D. critical

作者说了很确定,所以可以排除C 质疑;

作者也说了员工受益,所以可以排除D 批判

A选项就更不是作者的观点了。作者可不是愤世嫉俗的。
