慢速英语:Why We Should Care About Trust, and Worry About a Lack of It
日期:2009-12-19
1.Professor Roth says poverty and unemployment do not lead to higher murder rates. Nor do stronger punishments and more police keep murder rates down.

Nor的用法

(1)传统规则要求nor 用于 neither 后面, 在这种表达中,否定放在第二个部分:他既不能也 (不用 or ) 不愿走。 Nor在当两个独立句子中的第二个也被否时被用, 在这种用法中,它也引起第二个句子主语和助动词的转变:
 
 He cannot find anyone now, nor does he expect to find anyone in the future; 
 现在他找不到任何人,以后也别梦想找到任何人 ;

 Jane will never compromise with Bill, nor will Bill compromise with Jane. 
 简决不会同比尔和解,而比尔也决不会同简和解。 

(2)然而当第一个否定词用not 或 never 表达, 且当第二个连结部分是动词短语时,nor 的用法通常可选择: 
 He will not permit the change, or (or nor ) even consider it. 
 他决不会容许改变,或者(或者用 nor ) 甚至考虑它。 

(3)当一个名词短语以形式no this or that 被 no,or 引入时比 nor 更常用:
 
 He has no experience or interest (less frequently nor interest ) in chemistry. 
 对于化学他既没经验也没兴趣(很少用 nor interest ) 。 

(4)Or在下面这种情况下比 nor 常用, 如一个名词短语、形容词短语或副词短语被not 引导时:
 
 He is not a philosopher or a statesman. 
 他既不是哲学家也不是政治家。

2.He looked at murder among unrelated adults and found four things that relate to homicide rates.

relate to与…相关,与…有联系,适应…

例句:Income tax rates are related to one's annual income.
      所得税税率与个人年收入的数额相关。

3.But Professor Roth says even the best political leaders cannot unite a country once a society's problems get out of control.

out of control不受控制

例句:The car ran down the hill out of control.
      汽车失去控制直往山下冲去。
