Kevin (March April)二十五昨天的句子准备做一个1+1 ！我在解释完昨天的句子后再一个同样类型的句子，接着给解释。今天的任务在最后，是关于最高法院法院大法官人选的句子！希望大家好好看！The pursuit of private interests with as little interference as possible from government was seen as the road to human happiness and progress rather than the public obligation and involvement in the collective community that emphasized by the Greeks.词汇突破：pursuit 追求 Interference 干涉 Obligation 责任，义务 Involvement 关于，涉及，参与 rather than 而不是 Greeks 不是“格瑞克斯”哈，是希腊人参考译文： 在尽可能少的ZF干预下追求个人利益被看作为通往人类幸福和进步的道路， 而不是希腊人所强调的集体社会中的公共义务与参与。这里有一个同类型的句子：His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a manner as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.词汇突破：analogous 类似于 Obligation 义务 Manner 方式 Reason 推理 Reveal 揭示（在这个句子中最好翻译为“展示”） Function 在这个语境中应该是“职责”参考译文：他的职责与法官相似，他必须承担这样的责任：用尽可能明了的方式来展示自己做出决定的推理过程。今天的句子：ON MARCH 16th, in a move that may test the mettle of recalcitrant Senate Republicans, Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland, a widely respected and politically moderate judge, to fill the late Antonin Scalias Supreme Court seat. Mr Obama presented Mr Garland as a “serious man and exemplary judge” who is “uniquely prepared” for the job.二十六词汇突破： 1.mettle 毅力，勇气2.Recalcitrant 桀骜不驯的，难以控制的3.Move 行为4.Nominate 提名5.politically moderate 政治中庸6.exemplary 可做榜样的，可做楷模的例句：Her behavior is exemplary. 她的行为堪称楷模7.late 已故的8. He is uniquely prepared for the job 这份工作非他莫属9. present somebody as （to show or describe sth in a particular way）用某种方式展示，呈现，表现；参考译文：3月16日，奥巴马总统提名Merrick Garland法官接替已故法官安东尼.斯堪尼亚在最高法院中的位置。Merrick Garland法官是一位广受人们尊敬并且在政治上中庸的法官。奥巴马总统的这一行为可能会测试那些参议院中桀骜不驯的共和党人的毅力和勇气。（你看，神奇的独立成句和调序是不是让句子变得流畅了很多！去点吧！周末的支持需要你！）2.Mr Obama presented Mr Garland as a “serious man and exemplary judge”/ who is “uniquely prepared” for the job.参考译文：奥巴马总统将加兰德先生描述为一个严肃的人，堪称楷模的法官，这份工作就是非他莫属。（他非常适合这份工作。）今天的句子是关于科技发展的句子，是非常经典的一个句子：注意下句子结构的切分。Investors and companies are still jittery.

In that case, how well the Model 3 sells may not be the main determinant of the firms value.二十八It is unclear/2. how well suited it will be to the task of designing and churning out cars at far higher rates than now. (churn out 快速生产; 大量生产;)第二部分调整语序：It will be how well suited to the task of designing and churning out cars at far higher rates than now. 特斯拉到底能多好地适应“以比现在更高的速度来设计和生产汽车”这一任务还不得而知。同学们看一下下面这个真题：The test of any democratic society”, he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be.【词汇突破】Wall Street Journal：华尔街日报latitude：纬度（the widest possible latitude：尽可能大的自由）however+形容词= 无论多麽 (常置于句首，但在理解的时候放在系动词 后)column 报纸专栏disputable 争议irritating 令人不快【译文赏析】 他在华尔街日报的一个专栏文章中写到：对任何一个民主社会的考验，不在于它能够多有效地控制各种意见的表达，而在于这个社会是否能给予思考和表达以尽可能广泛的自由，无论可能造成的结果有时是多么的富有争议或令人不快。”今天的任务，一句很经典的真题：In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work.二十九So, Teslas ultimate aim may be more to create a platform for slick electric, autonomous cars that can also be built by others, in the way that various smartphone brands run on Googles Android operating system. In that case, how well the Model 3 sells may not be the main determinant of the firms value.词汇突破：ultimate 终极Slick 精致的，光滑的；autonomous car 自动驾驶汽车In the way that (状语从句的引导词)词汇突破: determinant 决定因素In that case 就那种情况而言主干识别：（how well the Model 3 sells=主语从句）may not be the main determinant of the firms value.就那种情况而言，Model 3卖的怎么样就不是这家公司估值的主要因素了。昨天句子的解析：In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work.主干识别：facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers其他成分：In the idealized version of how science is done 状语who use the scientific method to carry out their work.定语 who=researcher翻译点拨：词汇的处理：Idealized理想的Version 版本 （这里可以处理为“情况，状况”）facts about the world 关于世界的事实carry out 进行，从事参考译文：在科学研究的理想状态下，关于世界的事实正在等待着那些客观的研究者来观察和搜集，研究者们会用科学的方法来进行他们的工作。今天继续科研的句子：Medical research groups in America, Britain and Australia, for example, have emphasised that scientific work will be judged by its quality, not by the reputation of the journal it is published in. That will certainly be more onerous for committees than counting up the “right” sort of papers. But if more researchers feel comfortable about uploading their work to preprint servers, it will break the stranglehold of elite journals on biomedical science and accelerate discovery. That would save millions of dollars. More importantly, it would save lives.三十词汇突破：1.reputation 名望 2. Onerous 繁琐，艰巨，困难 例句：This obligation sometimes proves onerous.这一义务有时被证明是艰巨的。(prove这个词主动表被动) 3. preprint servers （为了让国际研究同仁尽快获知自己的研究结果，学者不只利用国际会议，他们还更常利用预印版伺服器（Preprint-Server） 4. stranglehold 束缚; 压制; 5. elite journals 知名杂志解析：1.Medical research groups in America, Britain and Australia, for example, have emphasised that scientific work will be judged by its quality, not by the reputation of the journal /（that） it is published in. 参考译文:举个例子，在美国，英国和澳洲的医学研究团队已经强调科学工作应该由其质量来判断，而不应该由其所发表杂志的名望来决定。 2.
