不能望图生义 Dec 17, 2013

Achates,

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, the language is there about the law enforcement officers not having to make direct contact with the inmates. But the author was not dwelling on it. At that point, he already moved on to the ease-of-use aspect of the system.

Lincoln is right, you protect the waterproofed item from water, not the other way around.

The system is protected from the cops. It could be from their lack of skills, their misuse, or something else they didn't do properly.

你自己都提出waterproof這個字了, 原來waterproof一字中受到保護的是水?

foolproof (adj.) Look up foolproof at Dictionary.com
also fool-proof, 1902, American English, "safe against the incompetence of a fool," from fool (n.) + proof.

換成Cop-proof, 其實即是safe against the incompetence of a cop.


還有, "more user-friendly" 與「该机器不会对使用者造成任何问题」完全是兩回事。

我很好奇,safe against the incompetence of a fool 在这里against 的宾语是incompetence吧, fool貌似定语,修饰incompetence. 所以,cop的对应部分应当是incompetence 而不是fool
