    191. "They're taught that profit is all that matters," he says. "Many schools don't even offer ethics (伦理学) courses at all."

    译文 他说:“他们接受的教育就是利益高于一切。很多学校甚至根本不开设伦理学的课程。”

    点睛 本句含直接引语。在第一个引语中,that引导be taught的宾语从句;第二个引语则是一个简单句。

    profit意为“利润;盈利”。如:

    There is very little profit in selling newspapers at present. 现在,卖报纸的利润很小。

    ethics courses指“思想品德课”。

    考点归纳 profit、benefit、gain和interest都可以表示“利益”,它们的区别在于:

    profit指从物质或钱财等方面获得的利益。如:

    There is very little profit in doing this kind of business. 做这种生意利润很小。

    benefit指通过正当手段从物质或精神方面得到的任何好处或利益。如:

    Are you entitled to unemployment benefit? 你有资格领取失业救济金吗?

    gain指获得的物质利益,也暗示不损坏他人利益而得的无形好处。如:

    No pains, no gains. 一分耕耘,一分收获(不劳无获)。

    interest多用复数形式,既可以指集团或群体的利益,又可以指个人的利益。如:

    She has your best interests at heart. 她处处为你的利益着想。
