第315句 安乐死
On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.
译文:另一方面,许多医疗界人士承认,致使医生帮助患者自杀的这场争论升温的部分原因是由于病人的绝望情绪,对这些病人来说,现代医学延长了临终前肉体的痛苦。
点睛:该句的主语是many,谓语是acknowledge“承认”,后面有一个that引导的宾语从句,而其中由by引导的短语中又包含一个定语从句for whom modem medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying,来修饰前面的patients。
考点归纳:注意on another level和on the level的用法。
*on another level意为“在另一方面;在另一层次”,level前可以用important等形容词修饰。
This is a special phenomenon in this world, but on another level it is a significant part of human society.
这是一个世界上的特殊现象,但从另一方面来看,它是人类社会的重要部分。
*on the level意为“坦率的;老实的”。
If you plan to buy a new car,I recommend you go to Joe Doakers. My friend Joe is really on the level-he’ll give you a fair price,and he'll take good care of the car after you buy it.
要是你准备买新车的话,我建议你去找我的朋友乔·多克斯。乔是很老实的——他会给你很公道的价格。而且你买了车以后,他还会很好地维护你的车。
