第048句

His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a matter as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.

译文：他的职责与法官相似，必须承担这样的责任：用尽可能明了的方式来展示自己作出决定的推理过程。

点睛：be analogous to/with意为“和…相似”，其后的that指代之前的function。who引导的是以judge为先行词的定语从句。面as obvious a matter as possible为revealing的方式状语，其中包含as...as possible结构，表示“尽可能…”。the course of...为revealing的宾语，其中which引导的是以the course of reasoning为先行词的定语从句。reveal此处意为“展现，显示”。

考点归纳：reveal、disclose、expose和uncover都有“揭露，暴露”之意，注意它们的区别。
