问题: open-ended怎么译啊?

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday building democracy and capable security forces in Iraq is a difficult proposition, but that the U.S. commitment is open-ended.

解答:

在这情况,Rice的open-ended是指美国对帮助伊拉克在建立民主及防卫力上的承诺是没有限制,按需而为的.(例如没有一个限定定拨款或协助范围).

open-ended这词最常用在问卷上. Multiple Choice(选择题)是close-ended question的. 用自己文字回答的问题就是open-ended question.
