2023考研英语每日一句(134)

句子：

Historian Benjamin Hunnicutt at the University of Iowa calls the push for more free time the forgotten American dream: “that freedom we have to realize the better parts of our existence…self-expression, community, spirituality.” But some studies suggest more free time can create space for pursuits that aren’t as creative or community-oriented as some proponents hope. When Japan ratcheted down working hours from 48 to 40 per week in the late 1980s and 1990s, their notoriously hardworking denizens watched more TV, says Dr. Hamermesh of the University of Texas.

思考题：

According to studies mentioned in the text, more free time__.

A.would lead to rounded personal development

B.can give us the opportunity to be more creative

C.would promote the economic well-being in U.S.

D.can be used by citizens to a meaningless end

句子解析：

1.Historian Benjamin Hunnicutt at the University of Iowa calls (the push for more free time宾语1) (the forgotten American dream)宾语2): “that freedom we have to realize the better parts of our existence…self-expression, community, spirituality.”

参考译文：爱荷华大学的历史学家本杰明·亨尼卡特将争取更多空闲时间称为被遗忘的美国梦：“我们必须拥有自由去实现更好的存在……自我表达的、社区的、心灵的。”

2.But some studies suggest //more free time can create space for pursuits //that aren’t as creative or community-oriented as some proponents hope.

参考译文：但一些研究表明，更多的空闲时间创造的空间，可以不像一些支持者所希望的那么具有创造性或以社区为导向。

3.When Japan ratcheted down working hours from 48 to 40 per week in the late 1980s and 1990s, their notoriously hardworking denizens watched more TV, //says Dr. Hamermesh of the University of Texas.

参考译文：德克萨斯大学的哈默梅什博士说，日本在1980年代后期和1990年代将每周工作时间从48小时减少到40小时，然后因勤奋著称的日本人花了更多时间看电视。

思考题解析：

According to studies mentioned in the text, more free time__.

根据文章提到的研究，更多的自由时间______.

通过文章可以知道更多的自由时间其实会导致负面的结果。

所以答案选D，其他的都是正面的表述。

A. would lead to rounded personal development

A选项错误。

B. can give us the opportunity to be more creative

(让我们有机会更具创造性)

B选项错误。

C. would promote the economic well-being in U.S.

(将促进美国的经济福祉)

C选项错误。

D. can be used by citizens to a meaningless end

(可被市民用来实现毫无意义的目的)

对应二句和三句：

D选项正确。
