英语六级攻克阅读关键句196. Those would-be executives had little inte

196. Those would-be executives had little interest in concepts of ethics and morality in the boardroom—and their professor was met with blank stares when he urged his students to see business in new and different ways.

译文　那些未来的行政主管们对董事会里的伦理和道德概念没有什么兴趣——当教授尝试促使他的学生用一种新的、不同的方式看待商业的时候，他看到的是空洞的眼神。

译文　本句的主干是Those would-be executives had little interest...。破折号之后的部分是对前面的补充说明；when引导的是时间状语从句。

would-be意为“有望成为的；可能成为的”，本句中的would-be executives意为“有望成为行政主管的人”。boardroom意为“会议室；董事会的会议室”。如：

The chairman went home, but the rest of the directors stayed in the boardroom. 董事长回家了，而其余的董事还留在会议室里。

考点归纳　morality和ethics的含义比较相近，但是二者指代的内容不一样：

morality指与是非或对错有关的行为，也可以指道德规范。如：

One sometimes wonders if there's any morality in political affairs. 有时，人们对于政治事务中是否有道德可言表示怀疑。

ethics多用于伦理方面，指道德伦理所要求的那些好的行为。如：

Medical ethics forbid a doctor to have a love affair with a patient. 行医道德有规定，禁止医生与病人谈恋爱。
