第196句:
Those would-be executives had little interest in concepts of ethics and morality in the boardroom-and their professor was met with blank stares when he urged his students to see business in new and different ways.那些未来的行政主管们对董事会里的伦理和道德概念没有什么兴趣——当教授尝试促使他的学生用一种新的、不同的方式看待商业的时候,他看到的是空洞的眼神。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是Those would-be executives had little interest...破折号之后的部分是对前面的补充说明;when引导的是时间状语从句。
would-be意为“有望成为的;可能成为的”,本句中的would-be executives意为“有望成为行政主管的人”。 boardroom意为“会议室;董事会的会议室”。如:
The chairman went home, but the rest of the directors stayed in the boardroom.
董事长回家了,而其余的董事还留在会议室里。
六级考点归纳:
morality和ethics的含义比较相近,但是二者指代的内容不一样:morality指与是非或对错有关的行为,也可以指道德规范。如:
One sometimes wonders ifthere's any morality in political affairs.
有时,人们对于政治事务中是否有道德可言表示怀疑。
ethics多用于伦理方面,指道德伦理所要求的那些好的行为。如:
Medical ethics forbid a doctor to have a love affair with a patient.行医道德有规定,禁止医生与病人谈恋爱。
