27、号施令或定出条条框框难句译注1. lay down the law 制定法律。这里指：发号施令或定出条条框框。2. Next year the law is reversed and far from taking exception, no one is even mildly surprised. 参考译文 第二年，条例又反过来，人们远没有生气，甚至连稍稍的惊讶都没有。写作方法和文章大意文章论述“妇女时装更新”问题，采用因果，对比手法。先从男女演员服装的差异，谈到服装设计师年年变更样式，风格。妇女不顾一切的追随，甘愿被剥削的根源。而男人却能淡然处之。答案祥解1. B. 创制新时装就是对妇女
28、的商业性剥削。答案遍及全文。也有几段突出描述。如：第二段第四句“每年，巴黎，伦敦的一些所谓高级设计师定出条条框框，全世界妇女竞相服从。设计师的条令难以预测，说一不二。”第三段“要说妇女年年被无情的剥削之事，只能怪她们自己。由于她们一想起在公共场所穿着过失的衣服就会发抖，所以他们每年都被设计师和大商店讹诈（勒索）”第四段：“许多妇女（每年）浪费大笔钱财来置换她们从未穿过的服装，时装变化就是故意创造浪费。”A. 时装反映妇女的秉性。这是在最后一段结论中提及，不是中心思想。 D. 男人具有可靠性的基本素质。不对。 C. 高级设计师似乎有权创造新款式。这是作者在批评设计者。2. D. 因为高级设计师请
29、她们领导时装潮流。只是常识，设计师新颖服装的推出，首先是让演员试装等于时装模特的效用，掀起可以领导时装的新潮流。A. 他们要打扮入时，这只是演员的一方面。 B. 随大流。 C. 作作样子。 都是不对的。3. D. 他们太好虚荣。 这在文章的好几段内都提到。如第一题中的第二段，三段，四段的参考译文。如第三段后半部分“只穿了几次的衣服就因为时尚的命令而弃之一边。当你想到只有妇女能站在堆满衣服的衣柜前，悲哀的诉说她没有衣服穿。”第四段的后半段“花不起大笔钱财买衣服的妇女会花上好几个小时把他们已有的衣服换来换去”。第五段后半部分“男人一生中经常可以看到大冬天妇女颤抖在薄薄的衣衫中，或者穿着精致的鞋在雪
30、地上选路走，这都令他们发笑”。最后一段结论，画龙点睛的以问点明“经常不断的换时装。人们不禁要问，这是不是反映了妇女轻浮和易变的基本素质（秉性）？”A. 她们爱新时尚； B. 她们爱新衣服； C. 她们想瞧着美。这三项只是虚荣的部分组成。4. A. 外观。答案在第五段“没有人认为时装工业为社会作过真正的贡献。时装设计师很少关心保暖，舒服和耐穿这类紧要的事，他们只是对外观感性趣，他们利用了妇女的心理：只要看着美，她们能忍受一切（痛苦）不舒服。”B. 舒适。 C. 美，时装不一定美。 D. 耐穿。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。【2013界广东深圳市
