But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.
lawyer“律师”；generate“产生”；hostility“敌意”，形容词形式hostile，常见搭配be hostile to“对...有敌意”；with the exception of“除了...以外”；journalism“新闻业”；client“客户”；ground“理由”；complaint“抱怨，投诉”，动词形式complain，往往与about连用。
During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.
economic crisis“经济危机”；legal service“法律服务”；inflation“通货膨胀”；skyscraper“摩天楼”；skyscrapers-full表示“非常多”；tempt“诱使”；pile into“挤进”；law school“法学院”；graduate“毕业生”；firm“公司”；nuisance“麻烦事”；lawsuit“诉讼案件”；filer“文件归档员”；tort“侵权行为”；costly“昂贵的，代价高的”；nightmare“噩梦”。
There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that they have to work fearsomely hard.
reason“原因，理由”，也可以表示“推理，理性”；excessive“过度的”；legal education“法律教育”；path“路径”；undergraduate degree“学士学位”；authorize“授权”，authority“权威，当局”；American Bar Association“美国律师协会”；expensive“昂贵的”；preparation for“为...做准备”；bar exam“律师资格考试”；leave“使得”；average“普通的”；debt“债务”；fearsome“可怕的”，fearsomely hard可以指“拼命地努力”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2014年考研英语真题阅读Text 2前三段的要点。“百川东到海，何时复西归？少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。”“劝君惜取少年时”，各位同学，好好把握学习和努力的黄金时期吧！不要等到来不及的时候才知道后悔。
