【昨日回顾】
While we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? ”
尽管我们或许能只凭有意识的思考就能维持“控制”这种错觉（1分），但事实上我们却一直面临一个问题：（0.5分）“为什么我们不能让自己完成这件事或实现那一目标哪（0.5分）？”
【今日长难句】
2011年第48题
This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.
【结构分析】
1. 该句难点不在于主干，在于平行结构。
2. 主干为主系表结构，this seems a justification … and a rationalization …
3. for neglect of those in need 修饰a justification; of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom为三个of构成的平行结构，修饰a rationalization.
【词的处理】
justification / ˌdʒʌstifiˈkeiʃn / n. 正当理由
neglect / niˈɡlekt / vt. 忽视
those in need 需要帮助的人
rationalization /,ræʃənəlaɪ'zeiʃən/ 合理化
exploitation / ˌeksplɔiˈteiʃn / n. 剥削；开采
superiority / su:ˌpiəriˈɔrəti/ n. 优越(性)
inferiority / inˌfiəriˈɔrəti/ 低等，劣等
【参考译文】
This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.
这似乎成了一个正当理由(0.5分)去忽视需要帮助的人（0.5分），也证明了剥削、社会上层人群的优越及社会底层人群的卑微是合理的（1分）。

circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us, and if we feel that we have been “wronged” then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation.
