Always Read the “Small Print” * * Many people don’t really read the “terms and conditions” when they tick or click “Agree.” What about you? Why do you think people dislike reading “terms and conditions”? * * Alipay recently released the 2017 annual e-bills for its users. Did you read your e-bill? Did you notice that there was a line of words that read “I agree to the Sesame service agreement.” on the front page of the bill? What problems do you think this line of words might cause? Now, it’s one thing to know how much money you’ve spent; it’s quite another to have this information made1 available to others without your permission2.3 * SENTENCES 1 过去分词短语made available在此作宾语this information的宾语补足语。 2 permission为permit派生出的名词。permit意为“允许”、“准许”，一般用于比较正式的场合。最近在网上走红的英译版《出师表》中就用到了这个词：Permit me to observe.（“臣亮言”，字面意思是“请允许我说两句”。） 3 it’s one thing to ...; it’s another (thing) to ...是一个实用的句型，意为“……是一回事，……则是另一回事”。 But sometimes, the “small print” does matter1, as in the case of Ant Financial2, when companies use information they shouldn’t and put their customers’ privacy at risk34. * SENTENCES 1 matter在此用作动词，相当于be important。does+动词原形用于表示强调。 2 这里的as是副词，意为“如……一样，指某事以同样的方式发生。 3 when在此引出一个时间状语从句，其中，information后面跟了一个定语从句（关系代词that被省略了）。 4 固定词组：put ... at risk，意为“使……受威胁”、“使……冒风险”。 We should all be aware of1 this before we automatically2 “tick the box” and find that the “small print” has taken away more than the “large print” has given3. * SENTENCES 1 aware后面一般跟of或that从句。 2 副词automatically在此并不表示“自动地”。它的意思是“不由自主地”、“不假思索地”（without thinking about what you are doing）。 3 关于此处所体现的写作手法及其巧妙之处，详情参见本期报纸头版“Sentences”栏目。 * 1. One of the largest new ____________ is a £9-million deal with the City of Westminster to provide a school meals service. 2.
