Question

sausage-making是什么意思
在economist上看到一篇文章里面有一句话是
The “American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act” is a typical piece of congressional sausage-making originally projected to add $134 billion to the federal deficit.
请问里面的sausage-making指什么

Answer 1

意指“像灌香肠般草率且不透明的立法过程”,
贬损那个会增加1,340亿美金财政赤字的法案,
把一些无法振兴经济的内容也灌进去了,
就像灌香肠般,
灌进去之后,
就很难分辨内容物的细节了~
