这个单元有 5 章:原创课文「以安全之名」、词汇延展(法律/权利词族与正式习语)、语法延展(语域控制:正式法律文体的词汇与句法选择)、功能句型(Writing Report 正式文体 + 口语 Part 4)、CPE 考点与 8 题自测。
学完你能:写出语域精准的正式法律/人权文本,区分 formal/neutral 措辞;区分 rights/liberties 的语域。
预计时间:约 1 周半。
衔接说明:你在前面单元已接触正式措辞,本单元系统掌握语域控制。
法律单元 = 权利词族 + 语域控制。课文写 narrator 反思一项以安全为名的监控法案,词汇按「权利/程序/侵犯」分组,语法攻克正式文体的词汇与句法选择。
主题课文 · 以安全为名的代价
课文 · A Breach of Trust
(可参看本单元语法深化页)课文精讲 · C2 怎么把观点说透
论为什么这段课文是「语域教材」
口语写法(太随意):The law was passed quickly. It gives the state lots of power. Critics say it's too much. You can be held for 14 days without a trial.
C2 正式写法:The legislation, which was rushed through parliament, grants the state powers that go far beyond what is strictly necessary. Authorities may, without due process, detain individuals... a measure that arguably constitutes a breach of fundamental liberties.
升级点 1 — 正式动词:grant(给)/ detain(拘留)/ constitute(构成)/ curtail(削减),不用 give/hold/make/cut。
升级点 2 — 正式名词:legislation(法)/ due process(正当程序)/ breach(侵犯)/ liberties(自由)。
升级点 3 — 分裂句 under the guise of security that...:强调「在安全伪装下」。
① under the guise of 以…为幌子
② a breach of 对…的侵犯
③ due process 正当程序
④ go far beyond 远远超出
⑤ the burden is on 责任在…一方

Steps should be taken to ensure that...
On the basis of these findings, the following measures are proposed.
Does security justify the loss of privacy?
History suggests that powers, once granted, are seldom relinquished.
Where do we draw the line between protection and intrusion?
场景对话 · 口语 Part 4 讨论「安全与隐私孰轻孰重」
Student A: That is the central tension. History suggests that powers, once granted, are seldom relinquished. Under the guise of security, citizens may surrender liberties that are never restored.
Student B: I concede the risk, yet order is the precondition of freedom. Without it, rights are theoretical.
Student A: Granted. Where, then, do we draw the line between protection and intrusion?
Student B: Precisely that question should be asked of every new law. The burden, surely, is on those who curtail our freedoms.
Student A: Agreed. Vigilance, as they say, is the price of liberty.
