[背景了解]
文章取自于2004年6月的閱讀真題,是關(guān)于美國移民系統(tǒng)的,
選段有點長,希望耐心看下,自己先猜下紅色單詞的意思吧
[文章部分]
But since Sept. 11, it's become clear that terrorists have been shrewdly factoring the weaknesses of our system into their plans. In addition to their mastery of forging passports, at least three of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (劫機(jī)者) were here on expired visas. That's been a safe bet until now. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) ( 移民歸化局 ) lacks the resources, and apparently the inclination, to keep track of the estimated 2 million foreigners who have intentionally overstayed their welcome.
