for the better中等

“It seems pretty clear that memory is changing, but is it changing for the better?

“记忆在发生变化，这一点似乎相当明确，但它是在朝好的方向变化吗？

In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency”, George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme.

为了“让生活变得更好”并减少“依赖”，财政大臣乔治·奥斯本推出了“预先求职”计划。

On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsidises laziness.

乍一听，这是一位关心社会的财政大臣，力图让人们的生活变得更好，还对一个明显过于纵容的制度进行了“改革”——这个制度对新近失业者找工作要求的努力太少，还在补贴懒惰。
