何凯文2020考研每日一句来了，这是何凯文老师第8年的坚持，从元宵节开始一直到考前，跟着何凯文老师一起坚持学习起来，下面是湖北文都考研小编为大家整理的何凯文每日一句第84句!

今天的句子：

The most intriguing and indisputable thing we have learned about economists in recent decades is that they don’t know nearly as much as they thought they knew.

(想想你会怎么出题?)

思考题一：

It has been known that economists know much about what we thought they don’t know.

思考题二：

It has been known that economists are not as knowledgeable as we are expected.

来看看单词：

1. intriguing 耐人寻味的,有意思

2. indisputable 毫无争议的

3. economists 经济学家

解析：

The most intriguing and indisputable thing we have learned about economists in recent decades is that +宾语从句they don’t know nearly asmuchas they thought they knew.

参考译文：这几十年我们了解到的关于经济学家的事里，最有意思也最无可争辩的就是：他们知道的没有自己想象的多。

(就是说：他们以为他们知道很多，其实他们知道的没有那么多。注意as 的断句，)

1.They don't know as much.

2.as they thought they knew.

所以

思考题一：

It has been known that economists know much about what we thought they don’t know.

不对!

一顿操作猛如虎，但是完全的拼多多啊!

It has been known that= we have learned about economists in recent decades

后面就不对了!

他们知道很多关于我们认为他们不知道的。

(晕不晕?哈哈哈，到底知道还是不知道，你好好想!)

思考题二：

It has been known that economists are not as knowledgeable as we are expected.

不对!

我们对他们没有期待!

来看看后续：

As an economic journalist for roughly half a century, I have slowly and somewhat reluctantly come to the conclusion that many economists (and this applies across the political spectrum) often don’t know what they’re talking about — a shortcoming that is sometimes acknowledged and sometimes isn’t.

作为一个从业近半个世纪的经济记者，我渐渐地也多少有点不情愿地得出这样的结论：许多经济学家(无论是左派还是右派的经济学家都这样)常常不知道自己在谈论什么——这个缺点有时被承认，有时并不知道。

解释：across the political spectrum 就是说的所有政治派别;

哈哈哈，作者真心是个耿直的孩子。
