363. And they are made much worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our reluctance to work together before everything goes to hell.

译文　由于人们都在装傻，事情变得更加糟糕，除非真的死到临头了，否则人们都尽量抱着不合作的态度。

点睛　本句是被动句，其句型结构为： “主语（原宾语）＋be＋动词的过去分词＋by＋宾语（原主语）”。其主动形式为：Our willful blindness to risk as much as our reluctance to work together made them much worse before everything goes to hell。as much as连接的两个并列短语是主动形式句子的“主语”，被动形式句子的“宾语”。willful的意思是“任性的；故意的”；blindness的意思是“装傻”。reluctance意为“不情愿，勉强”。go to hell是“毁灭，完蛋”的意思。如：

Corruption made him go to hell. 贪污使他的人生走向了毁灭。

考点归纳　as...as是表示比较的肯定式，中间接形容词或副词原形，表示“前者同后者一样”；其否定式为not as...as或not so...as，表示“前者不如后者”。如：

He studied as well as Lily, but isn't popular because of arrogance. 他的学习跟莉莉一样好，但由于傲慢而不受欢迎。

Although he worked hard, he didn't gain as much as his colleagues. 尽管他工作努力，挣得却不如同事多。
