But the latest revelation once again raises questions about the WhiteHousevetting process, which has failed to expose problems that have torpedoedseveral nominees.
但最近被揭露的这起事件又引发了人们对白宫审批程序的质疑，该程序未能及时发现导致数名候选人落马的诸多问题。
在上面的报道中，vetting process 就是指 “审批程序”，也写作vetting procedure。而negative vettingprocess则是指不反对或不提出修订即属通过的议决程序。In a statement, Judd Gregg said it had becomeapparent during the vetting process that his appointment would notwork.(贾德?格雷格在声明中称在审批程序中可以很明显的看出他不会得到任命)。这项法案必须go through a vettingprocess(经过审批)，很幸运最终survive the vetting process (通过了审批程序)。
Vet在这里的意思是“检审”。Someone should vet this report before it goesout.(这篇报道发表之前应该有人对它进行详查)，因此Jim 受命vet a manuscript (检查手稿)，并且vet the proposedcontract(检查提交的合同)。
Ve t作名词时最常见的意思是“兽医”，此外，它还常用来指“老兵”。Vet 意为老兵时, 通常会在前面加上军种, 例如：He is anArmy/Navy vet.(他是一位自陆/海军退伍的老兵)。
