【外刊金句打卡·131】
今天的外刊金句来自《经济学人》“中国食物比西方人想的更复杂”:
Musk talks about having Asperger’s, which makes him “bad at picking up social cues.” As the people closest to him will attest, he lacks empathy — something that Isaacson describes as a “gene” that’s “hard-wired.”
词/短语:
Asperger's: 阿斯伯格综合征(一种社交障碍)
bad at picking up social cues:不擅长捕捉社交暗示(没有眼力见)
attest: vt.证实
empathy: n.同情
hard-wired: adj.固有的、天生的
语法:
1. which makes him...:非限定性定语从句
2. {something [that Isaacson describes as a "gene" <that's "hard-wired">(定语从句)](定语从句).}(同位语)
译:马斯克谈到他有阿斯伯格症,这使得他“没有眼力见”。他身边的人都证实,他缺乏同情心——艾萨克森把这描述为天生的“基因”。
