In the wake of the regulation,the people found......? ? ? ? ? ?
這兩個(gè)句子用到了一個(gè)詞組,in the wake of,本意是接踵而至,緊緊跟隨,作為...結(jié)果,要根據(jù)句子的不同語(yǔ)境判斷,比如第一句,很多人無(wú)法(維系貸款)在經(jīng)融危機(jī)爆發(fā)之后,那in the wake of 的意思就是 作為...的結(jié)果,第二句,不用我說(shuō)了吧?

提一個(gè)點(diǎn):英語(yǔ)中動(dòng)詞用得非常形象,這里fuel,本意是燃料,給...提供燃料,也有刺激的意思,這里非常形象地表示了擴(kuò)大或者加深貧富差距。 感受一下。
