问题 A majority of the international journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as unsafe at present but that they will, or could, be made sufficiently safe in the future.
选项 A、that they will, or could,
B、that they would, or could,
C、they will be or could,
D、think that they will be or could
E、think the power station would or could
答案 D
解析 but是转折连词，在A、B中，but之后是that从句，而but之前却无相对应的that从句，因而A、B两种表达不符合平行结构的原则，这一点同时还可由but之前的at present与之后的inthe future的对应关系再次证明。C的表达会让人误以为they指代前面的主语journalists，而这样就会导致此处的they与谓语部分be made sufficiently safe之间不恰当的逻辑搭配关系。D、E中think的出现提醒我们：but是连接相同主语的两个具有转折含义的并列动作。D、E比较，E中有两个缺陷：(1)宾语从句省略了that，违背了公理中that不能省的原则；(2)would or could的表达反映了一种虚拟语气，暗示了它们(原子核发电站)在将来也不会安全，而这与前面but所反映的转折关系是相矛盾的。D中用will be or could be则反映了说话者的一种并不十分肯定的态度：其中，will be反映了一种坚定、确信的态度，而could be则又对此态度进行了弱化。在这里可以把will be or could be译为“将来会或可能会”。
