标 题: 这句话里的excuses到底是什么意思?考考你们的英语实力
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Jul 16 21:44:20 2013, 美东)
这句话出自最新畅销书World War Z的Page 12:
I was an importer: raw opium, uncut diamonds, girls, boys, whatever was
valuable from those primitive excuses for countries.
这里的excuses是什么意思?
从这个单词还可以看出,Merriam-Webster的字典也并不完美,在此处就缺了一个释义。
反而是我之前推荐过的Macmillan Dictionary for Student (1984年版),却包含了这
个释义。足见本人推荐字典的水准之高。 |

1. Economics was originally called 'political economy'
Economics is politics and it can never be a science. Yet the dominant
neoclassical school of economics succeeded in changing the name of the
discipline from the traditional 'political economy' to 'economics' at the
turn of the 20th Century. The Neoclassical school wanted economics to become
a pure science, shorn of political (and thus ethical) dimensions that
