听力原文

289. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.

译文

所以你们协会支持的项目只允许中产阶级和上层社会的人拥有炸弹,而穷人只能以手枪来做无谓的自卫。

点睛

本句的主干是what is a program。what your association is backing为主语从句;which引导的是program的定语从句,其中while作连词,表示前后的对比关系;with just handguns为状语。

back此处作动词,意为“支持”。如:

My parents backed me in my choice of career. 我的父母支持我的职业选择。

defenseless的意思是“软弱的,不能自卫的,无防御能力的”。

考点归纳

back作动词有以下含义:

“后退,倒退”。如:

She backed against the wall, terrified. 她退到墙边,惊恐万分。

“帮助;支持”。如:

The programme of economic reform is backed by foreign aid. 经济改革方案得到了外资援助。

“覆盖背面”。如:

Back the picture with strong cardboard. 用结实的硬纸板作这幅画的背衬。

“位于后面”。如:

The sunny spot is backed by a wall. 这块阳光充足的地方后面有一堵墙。
