1 Peter Maurer has described the humanitarian situation in Syria as catastrophic.catastrophic不是形容词吗?这句话不是说“PM描述了叙利亚由于遭受大灾难的人道救援情况”吗?为什么不用catastrophy?而用形容词形式?
2 He said after a three-day visit that the scale ofthe crisis with millions of civilians affected was staggering and the humanitarian response insufficient.为什么“ response insufficient”中间不加个“IS”?
第一句话已经想通了,开始理解错了,意思应该是“彼得•毛雷尔形容叙利亚的人道主义境况是一场灾难。” 但是想问能不能把as catastrophic改为as a catastrophy?
