英語六級(jí)攻克閱讀關(guān)鍵句196. Those would-be executives had little inte

196. 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.

譯文　那些未來的行政主管們對(duì)董事會(huì)里的倫理和道德概念沒有什么興趣——當(dāng)教授嘗試促使他的學(xué)生用一種新的、不同的方式看待商業(yè)的時(shí)候，他看到的是空洞的眼神。

譯文　本句的主干是Those would-be executives had little interest...。破折號(hào)之后的部分是對(duì)前面的補(bǔ)充說明；when引導(dǎo)的是時(shí)間狀語從句。

would-be意為“有望成為的；可能成為的”，本句中的would-be executives意為“有望成為行政主管的人”。boardroom意為“會(huì)議室；董事會(huì)的會(huì)議室”。如：

The chairman went home, but the rest of the directors stayed in the boardroom. 董事長(zhǎng)回家了，而其余的董事還留在會(huì)議室里。

考點(diǎn)歸納　morality和ethics的含義比較相近，但是二者指代的內(nèi)容不一樣：

morality指與是非或?qū)﹀e(cuò)有關(guān)的行為，也可以指道德規(guī)范。如：

One sometimes wonders if there's any morality in political affairs. 有時(shí)，人們對(duì)于政治事務(wù)中是否有道德可言表示懷疑。

ethics多用于倫理方面，指道德倫理所要求的那些好的行為。如：

Medical ethics forbid a doctor to have a love affair with a patient. 行醫(yī)道德有規(guī)定，禁止醫(yī)生與病人談戀愛。
