The EU-Turkey agreement aims to reduce dangerous attempts of migrants crossing the Aegean Sea to enter Greece.
题干的意思是欧盟一土耳其协议的目的是减少穿越爱琴海进入希腊的危险移 民行动。这与录音内容第二句话所说的意思一致,即这种1 : 1 的方案(每当有一个 叙利亚难民从希腊返回到土耳其并得到安置,欧盟就需要相应从土耳其接纳、安置 另一个难民)的目的就是通过有序、合法的重新安置过程,迅速阻止在危险状态下 穿越爱琴海的移民流。解题需要充分理解两个小词,即介词for与动词stem, 前者的 意思是“ (交换、交涉)条件” ,后者是“ 阻止” ,而 “ 阻止”在题干中则显示为最终结果,用 reduce来说明。
[重点难点]
理解stem做动词时的非第一项语义有check或 stop的意思。
[录音原文]
Under the EU-Turkey agreement, the EU would resettle one Syrian from Turkey for every Syrian readmitted by Turkey after arriving illegally in Greece. This 1:1 scheme aims to quickly stem the flow of migrants traveling in dangerous conditions across the Aegean through an orderly and legal resettlement process.
