Question

翻译一个句子

Defense department analysts worry that the ability of the United States to wage a prolonged war would be seriously endangered if the machine-tool manufacturing base shrinks further. Before the Defense Department publicly connected this security issue with the import quota issue, however, the machine-tool industry raised the national security issue in its petition for import quotas.

句子中矛盾点在哪里？

Answer 1

国防部分析人员担心,如果机床制造业的基础(据点)进一步萎缩,将会严重危及美国进行持久战的能力.在国防部公开表明这个安全问题与入口配额问题的关连之前,机床业却以国家安全理由来请求实施入口配额.

句子中矛盾点在哪里？

矛盾在於
国防部认为这方面的入口配额危及国家安全,因为会削弱了国家打持久战的能力
但机械工具业则以国家安全为理由来要求实施入口配额

Answer 2

看看however,其前后矛盾.

也就是说Defense department analysts worry that (the ability of the United States to wage a prolonged war would be seriously endangered if the machine-tool manufacturing base shrinks further.) Before the Defense Department publicly connected this security issue with the import quota issue, however, (the machine-tool industry raised the national security issue in its petition for import quotas. )

两括号内的为矛盾部分,矛盾点为 不能提出,但import quotas已经被提出

希望能对您有所帮助~呵呵

Answer 3

国防部担心如果机床生产基础再一步动摇的话，美国发动一场相当长的战争将会使自己陷入困境。然而，就在国防部公开地将安全问题与进口配额联系在一起时，机床产业就进口配额递交请愿书提出了国家安全问题。

这里的矛盾是国家对产业的理解于产业自身的行动不符合。
