第276句 法律温和派
If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.
译文:如果法律界的温和派占上风,产品的警示信息也许确实只是为了照顾顾客的利益,而不是充当免除法律责任的保护性措施。
点睛:本句是个复合句,主句的主干为.. . the information might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability。主句部分的谓语用了被动形式,谓语动词provide for有两个宾语,而not决定了两者的取舍关系——取前者,舍后者。句首足一个由if引导的条件状语从句。end在口语中意为“部分;方面”。to have one’s way意为“得逞;占上风”。
I will never allow him to have his way.
我决不会让他得逞。
n. 保护,防卫
