问题描述
The search result Wei turned up was promoted, in other words paid for, and it was labeled as such, but it's not clear if Wei understood this. What is clear is that many Chinese are furious at Baidu and at the government for what they consider lax regulation.
请问：
(1) in other words paid for, and it was labeled as such 这两句话是什么意思？
(2) for what they consider lax regulation 是什么意思？
老师答疑
倪老师：
一、试译：
魏则西所发现的搜索结果是经过人为美化的（拔高的）或者说是通过竞价产生的，它被标榜成这样，但是魏则西当时是否明白这一点尚不可知。有一点是清楚的，那就是很多中国人迁怒于百度，迁怒于他们认为的政府监管缺失。
二、分析：
1. ...in other words paid for, and it was labeled as such：in other words意为“换句话说”；paid for (竞价买来的) 与前面的promoted并列，构成被动语态。
2. for what they consider lax regulation: for表示（前文提到的）furious（愤怒）的原因；what they consider lax regulation是一个名词性从句，意为：他们所认为的监管缺失。用法举例：
They were upset about what they considered (to be) unfair treatment. 他们对于他们认为的不公平对待感到沮丧。
