Light up the stove and you could burn down the house. Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.
What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened?
[A]Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits. Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.
[C]Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.
[D]Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.
关键在于: a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles
而A选项即使翻译成\"减轻\",(还是有不少名师把其翻译成\"减轻\"的)也是不对的
A要是Customers might be relieved of their disasters through successful lawsuits.应该就没问题了 作者: princewang 时间: 08-10-4 21:11
