Hi everyone,
I have to translate this but I am struggling with the underlined sentence. I understand all the words but I just don't get the structure. I was wondering if a native English speaker could perhaps rephrase it to make slightly more logical connections between the sentences, if that makes sense?
Context : this was heard in a reality show. In a small town in the wilderness, one local (Neil) is starting to develop the town to attract tourists and all the other residents, who are against it, called a meeting to discuss the problems and try to stop him. During the meeting, Neil basically said that he didn't give a damn and he was going to go ahead with his plans.
After the meeting, one resident says :
"I’ve never been at a meeting that was quite that... out of control. Evidenced of the hostility that we feel towards these actions of Neil’s, and the level of his defensiveness. Especially when you’re asking your neighbours to deal with the consequences. It’s a greed just beyond belief. It’s disgusting and wrong. Quite frankly, it’s just absurd."
Thanks!
