Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in 1 to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status or as a rejection of middle class values.
在选择该题目时,根据考生的中学知识,response一词并不太难;相反,该句的汉语意思应该是各位考生需要去体会的:关于社会责任的理论认为(Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that),引发青少年犯罪行为的原因是他们接受不来自己的社会经济地位的不被提升或者是对于中产阶级价值观的排斥;这种仇富心理和不被社会接纳而引发的心理不平衡往往是各种犯罪的根源。另外,将in to结构补全,选项A( in return )作为回报,一般不与to 连用;B(in reply to)作为回复;C(in reference to)关于,参考;D(in response to) 由于,作为回应,这里可以引申为"由于,出于"的意思,表达一种因果关系。
参考译文:
Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status or as a rejection of middle class values.
