翻译

the communities minister, don foster, has

hinted that george osborne may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.



社区部长don foster已经建议财政部长george osborne对地方政府解决房地产股票债务贷款的上限额度采取更加灵活的政策。

三

38. according to paragraph 5, george osborne may _____.

[a] prepare to reduce housing stock debt

[b] release a lifted gdp growth forecast

[c] allow greater government debt for housing

[d] stop local authorities from building homes

解析：根据题干，定位到第五段。第五段第二句george osborne may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.财政大臣可能对地方政府住房粗粮债务的借贷上限采取更大的灵活度。对比4个选项，只有选项c符合题意，可轻易选出正确答案。

选项a与文义相悖，原文指出，提高借贷上限，显然是增加债务，而非减少债务。

选项b属于张冠李戴，第五段第三句提到了gdp增长的预测，但这与第二句的george osborne无关。

选项d与文义相悖，提高借贷上限、增加债务，显然是为了“鼓励地方政府建造房屋”。

四

you’ll never move others, heart to heart, unless your speech comes from your heart.

如果你说的话并非发自你的内心，你就不可能触动别人的心弦。
