17、有两个严重缺陷。 （disadvantage不译成“不利情况”。） 2) The dishonesty of the city officials was exposed by the newspaper. 市政府官员们的欺诈行为被报纸披露。dishonesty不译为“不诚实”。）,2.2.Verb 1) By a sudden attack we uncovered the enemys right flank. 我们以突袭使敌人右翼暴露。 （uncovered不译作“不掩盖”。） 2) The cannons were dismounted for shipping. 这些炮弹被拆卸了以便
