*这个句子中有人名和地名，这类专有词汇认识就反映不认识过去，对理解句意没有影响。有些单词看似简单，实际需要仔细琢磨。比如：journal 这个词既有日记的意思也有游记的意思，而联系上下文我们发现还是游记的意思符合上下文，所以选择了这个意项。遇到多义词要联系上下文选择合适的意思。

#委员会/知道/即使有大量的金钱和工作人员也不能/确保人民的安全/住在核工厂周围的/，但是委员会还是批准建立工厂/因为他们认为/所有合理的保护措施都已经采取了。
*这个句子比较长，但是条理很清楚。一个but，蕴涵着强烈的讽刺意味，委员会明知道…还是…。理解好细节这个句子还是不难理解的，如：neither…nor… 表达两者都不…。
