【昨日回顾】

Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.

【今日长难句】

In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it: how do you reply to somebody who says “I don’t like this contract”?

【结构解析】

1.句子主干为it/ is/ unclear /what force a contract can have for people; 其中it充当形式主语，what force a contract can have for people 为真正的主语从句。

2. who never consented to it 为定语从句，修饰people

3. 冒号之后的部分是对 what 从句的补充说明。

【词的处理】

in addition 此外

force / fɔ:s/ n. 力量，约束力

contract / ˈkɔntrækt / n. 合同，契约

consent / kənˈsent / vt. 赞同，同意

【参考译文】

In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it: how do you reply to somebody who says “I don’t like this contract”?

此外，谁也不清楚，对于从来就不同意契约的人来说，这项契约又具有多大约束力，如果有人说“我不喜欢这项契约”，那你又如何回答呢？

【明日长难句】

The point is this: without agreement on the rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless. It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all.
