【www.xtoonpix.com--员工年终总结】

For example,they do not compensate for gross social inequality,and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.(

参考答案:

要点:句子的框架是they do not compensate…,and thus do not tell how…。and连接两个并列分句,第二个并列分句中由how引导的宾语从句是一个带有虚拟条件句的主从复合句,其中had he grown up…(=If he had grown up…)是省略了连词if的非真实条件句。主句主语的they,在此代指上文提到的tests; able在句中作might have been的表语。underprivileged在此不能译为“没有特权的”,而译为“没有地位的”或“物质条件差的”。
译文:例如,测试并不能弥补明显的社会不公;因此,它们不能说明一个物质条件差的年轻人,如果在较好的环境中成长的话,会有多大才干。
