Why referendums on a new constitution
would be good for the European Union
为何新宪法全民公投有利欧盟
Many top European politicians have a deep suspicion of referendums. European issues, they argue, are too complex and too easily distorted to be subjected to so fickle a procedure. A German official argues that if the Treaty of Rome, which started the process of European integration in 1957, had been put to a vote, “Germans might have rejected it because it raised the price of bananas.”
许多顶尖欧洲政客对全民公投深深存疑。他们认为欧洲事务异常复杂，也容易被反复无常的政治程序所歪曲。一名德国官员表示如果对《罗马条约》进行公投，德国人可能会否决这个条约因为它让香蕉的价格上涨，而这个条约正是1957年欧洲联盟进程的开端。
This argument is not only cynical but also unwarrantedly defeatist. It is simply not true that all European referendums are doomed to be lost. On the same day that Sweden voted no to the euro, Estonia became the eighth country this year to vote in favor of joining the EU. Latvia followed suit a week later. All the central European referendums on EU accession have been won by crushing margins. Cynics might argue that poor countries from the former Soviet block have little option but to say yes. But rich Ireland also voted yes in a European referendum last year. Having rejected the Nice Treaty of 1999 once, the Irish reversed course in a much more keenly debated second referendum in October last year.
这些争论不仅受到质疑也很不合理。很显然并不是所有的欧洲全民公投都是失败的。在同一天，瑞典投票否决建立欧元，而爱沙尼亚则是今年第八个国家投票支持加入欧盟。拉脱维亚在一周之后也宣布加入欧盟。所有中欧国家的公投基本上都高票数支持加入欧盟。犬儒学派可能会认为那些来自前苏联的贫穷国家别无选择只能投票支持。但富有的爱尔兰去年也公投支持加入欧盟。爱尔兰曾在1999年否决过《尼斯条约》，然而去年逆转政策，在10月的全民公投中进行了热切的讨论。
In any event, regardless of the result, referendums on European issues serve a vital democratic purpose. Politicians and civil servants in Brussels spend a lot of time searching for ways to “bring Europe closer to the people”. The Irish and Swedish experiences show that referendums are the best way – possibly the only way – achieves this. For a jaded observer from Brussels it was oddly heartening to get into a taxi in Dublin at the height of the referendum campaign and be treated not to the usual moans about traffic and football but to an expletive-filled tirade against article 133 of the Nice Treaty. In a politer, more Nordic way the Swedes also had an intense debate about the euro. The constraints of Europe’s stability-and-growth pact, which limits government borrowing, are normally debated only by economists and Brussels nerds. Yet
in Sweden, you heard ordinary people discussing the impact of the pact on the Portuguese welfare state.
无论如何，全民公投在欧洲事务上发挥了重要的民主作用。欧盟的政客和公务员都一直致力寻求“让欧洲靠近人民”的方式。爱尔兰和瑞典很好地证明了公投就是最好的方式，或许是唯一的方式去达到这一目的。对于一个身心疲惫的欧盟观察员来说，在公投活动进展最顶峰的时候，在都柏林坐上一辆计程车居然有一种振奋人心的感觉；他们宁愿聆听反对《尼斯条约》第133条的长篇指责也不想听到平日里交通堵塞的抱怨和足球赛事的喝倒彩。瑞典人对欧元也进行过很密集的讨论，当然是以一种更礼貌的北欧人处事方式去进行。通常只有经济学家和欧盟保守派会争论欧盟《稳定与增长公约》的约束性，即限制政府借债。在瑞典，你还能听到普通公民在讨论公约对葡萄牙人民福利的影响。
In normal circumstances, public indifference to EU issues is entirely understandable. People believe, rightly, that such issues are usually decided far away, and above their heads. But give ordinary people a chance to have a say, and the Swedish and Irish experiences show that the great unwashed are perfectly capable of a proper debate about Europe. Recent experience also shows that a standard argument against referendums that elected politicians can represent the views of their voters is questionable when it comes to European issues, where the professional political class is often totally out of tune with public opinion. Ministers from governments who have to attend regular meetings in Brussels often develop reciprocal loyalties to colleagues from other EU countries and gradual ly accept the logic of the “European project”. Doubtless, this mutual understanding is a fine thing in many ways. But it does mean that EU deals over the constitution, for instance that seem necessary and inevitable to professional politicians often fail to convince the voters back home. If those deals keep on being made, regardless of what the folks back home think, the EU will lose its democratic legitimacy.
通常情况下，公众漠视欧盟事务是完全可以理解的。人们都觉得这些事务的决定都离自己很遥远，都是上层去处理的事情。但瑞典和爱尔兰的例子证明了赋予普通民众一个机会去表达他们的想法，原来庞大的社会阶层人民其实是可以很好地去讨论欧洲事务的。最近的例子也说明了反对全民公投的常见论点比如说选举政客可以代表民意未必准确，面临欧洲事务抉择的时候，政客阶层完全没有吻合民意。参加欧盟常规会议的各政府部长通常都会对其他欧盟成员同事表现出互惠忠诚，并逐渐接受“欧洲计划”的观念。毫无疑问，相互理解在很多方面都会有利。但这也意味着欧盟会建立统一宪法，这对政客们来说是必须的也是不可避免的，因为他们经常无法取得家乡选民的支持。如果那些条例继续生成，无论家乡选民如何想，欧盟也会丧失其民主合法性。

I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to its sweetness. I grudge every marriage in that it means a fresh supply of orange blossom, the promise of so much golden fruit cut short. However, the world must go on. With the orange we do live year in and year out. That speaks well for the orange. The fact is that there is honesty about the orange which appeals to all of us. If it is going to be bad-for the best of us are bad sometimes—it begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an innocent-looking apple is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.

高中文言文精短翻译练习100篇 1、范仲淹有志于天下 原文：范仲淹二岁而孤，母贫无靠，再适常山朱氏。既长，知其世家，感泣辞母，去之南都入学舍。昼夜苦学，五年未尝解衣就寝。或夜昏怠，辄以水沃面。往往糜粥不充，日昃始食，遂大通六经之旨，慨然有志于天下。常自诵曰：当先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐。 翻译：范仲淹二岁的时候死了父亲。母亲很穷，没有依靠。就改嫁到了常山的朱家。（范仲淹）长大以后，知道了自己的生世，含着眼泪告别母亲，离开去应天府的南都学舍读书。（他）白天、深夜都认真读书。五年中，竟然没有曾经脱去衣服上床睡觉。有时夜里感到昏昏欲睡，往往把水浇在脸上。（范仲淹）常常是白天苦读，什么也不吃，直到日头偏西才吃一点东西。就这样，他领悟了六经的主旨，后来又立下了造福天下的志向。他常常自己讲道：“当先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐。” 2、陈蕃愿扫除天下 原文：藩年十五，尝闲处一室，而庭宇芜岁。父友同郡薛勤来候之，谓藩曰：“孺子何不洒扫以待宾客？”藩曰：“大丈夫处世，当扫除天下，安事一室乎？”勤知其有清世志，甚奇之。 译文：陈藩十五岁的时候，曾经独自住在一处，庭院以及屋舍十分杂乱。他父亲同城的朋友薛勤来拜访他，对他说：“小伙子你为什么不整理打扫房间来迎接客人？”陈藩说：“大丈夫处理事情，应当以扫除天下的坏事为己任。不能在乎一间屋子的事情。”薛勤认为他有让世道澄清的志向，与众不同。 3、班超投笔从戎 原文：班超字仲升，扶风平陵人，徐令彪之少子也。为人有大志，不修细节。然内孝谨，居家常执勤苦，不耻劳辱。有口辩，而涉猎书传。永平五年。兄固被召诣校书郎，超与母随至洛阳。家贫，常为官佣书以供养。久劳苦，尝辍业投笔叹曰：“大丈夫无它志略，犹当效傅介子、张骞立功异域，以取封侯，安能久事笔研间乎？”左右皆笑之。超曰：“小子安知壮士志哉！” 翻译：班超为人有远大的志向，不计较一些小事情。然而在家中孝顺勤谨，过日子常常辛苦操劳，不以劳动为耻辱。他能言善辩，粗览了许多历史典籍。公元62年(永平五年)，哥哥班固被征召做校书郎，班超和母亲也随同班罟到了洛阳。因为家庭贫穷，班超常为官府抄书挣钱来养家。他长期抄写，劳苦不堪，有一次，他停下的手中的活儿，扔了笔感叹道：“大丈夫如果没有更好的志向谋略，也应像昭帝时期的傅介子、武帝时期的张骞那样，在异地他乡立下大功，以得到封侯，怎么能长期地在笔、砚之间忙忙碌碌呢？”旁边的人都嘲笑他，班超说：“小子怎么能了解壮士的志向呢！” 4、宗悫（què）乘风破浪 原文：宗悫字元干，南阳涅阳人也。叔父炳高尚不仕。悫年少时，炳问其志。悫曰：“愿乘长风破万里浪。”炳曰：“汝若不富贵，必破我门户。”兄泌娶妻，始入门，夜被劫，悫年十四，挺身与拒贼，十余人皆披散，不得入室。时天下无事，士人并以文艺为业，炳素高节，诸子群从皆好学，而悫任气好武，故不为乡曲所称。 翻译：宗悫，字元干，是南阳涅阳人。他的叔父宗炳，学问很好但不肯做官。宗悫小的时候，宗炳问他长大后志向是什么？他回答：“希望驾着大风刮散绵延万里的巨浪。”（宗炳说：“就算你不能大富大贵，也必然会光宗耀祖。”）有一次宗悫的哥哥宗泌结婚，结婚的当晚就遭到强盗打劫。当时宗悫才14岁，却挺身而出与强盗打斗，把十几个强盗打得四下溃散，根本进不了正屋。当时天下太平，有点名望的人都认为习文考取功名是正业。宗炳因为学问高，大家都喜欢跟着他读儒家经典。而宗悫因为任性而且爱好武艺，因此不被同乡称赞。 5、祖逖闻鸡起舞 原文：范阳祖逖，少有大志，与刘琨俱为司州主簿，同寝，中夜闻鸡鸣，蹴琨觉曰：“此非恶声也！”因起舞。及渡江，左丞相睿以为军谘祭酒。逖居京口，纠合骁健，言于睿曰：“晋室之乱，非上无道而下怨叛也，由宗室争权，自相鱼肉，遂使戎狄乘隙，毒流中土。今遗民既遭残贼，人思自奋，大王诚能命将出师，使如逖者统之以复中原，郡国豪杰，必有望风响应者矣！”睿素无北伐之志，以逖为奋威将军、豫州刺史，给千人廪，布三千匹，不给铠仗，使自召募。逖将其部曲百余家渡江，中流，击楫而誓曰：“祖逖不能清中原而复济者，有如大江！”遂屯淮阴，起冶铸兵，募得二千余人而后进。 翻译：当初，范阳人祖逖，年轻时就有大志向，曾与刘琨一起担任司州的主簿，与刘琨同寝，夜半时听到鸡鸣，他踢醒刘琨，说：“这不是令人厌恶的声音。”就起床舞剑。渡江以后，左丞相司马睿让他担任军咨祭酒。祖逖住在京口，聚集起骁勇强健的壮士，对司马睿说：“晋朝的变乱，不是因为君主无道而使臣下怨恨叛乱，而是皇亲宗室之间争夺权力，自相残杀，这样就使戎狄之人钻了空子，祸害遍及中原。现在晋朝的遗民遭到摧残伤害后，大家都想着自强奋发，大王您确实能够派遣将领率兵出师，使像我一样的人统领军队来光复中原，各地的英雄豪杰，一定会有闻风响应的人！”司马睿一直没有北伐的志向，他听了祖逖的话以后，就任命祖逖为奋威将军、豫州刺史，仅仅拨给他千人的口粮，三千匹布，不供给兵器，让祖逖自己想办法募集。祖逖带领自己私家的军队共一百多户人家渡过长江，在江中敲打着船桨说：“祖逖如果不能使中原清明而光复成功，就像大江一样有去无回！”于是到淮阴驻扎，建造熔炉冶炼浇铸兵器，又招募了二千多人然后继续前进。 6、画家赵广不屈 原文：赵广，合肥人。本李伯时家小史，伯时作画，每使侍左右。久之遂善画。尤工画马。几能乱真，建炎中陷贼，贼闻其善画，使图所虏妇人，广毅然辞以实不能画，胁以白刃，不从遂断右手拇指遣去，而广平生适用左手。乱定，惟画观音大士而已。又数年，乃死，今士大夫所藏伯时观音，多广笔也。 翻译：赵广是合肥人，本来是李伯时家里的书童。李伯时作画的时候就侍奉在左右，时间长了就擅长画画了，尤其擅长画马，几乎和李伯时所作的一样。建炎年间，他落在金兵手里。金兵听说他擅长画画，就让他画掳来的妇人。赵广毅然推辞作画，金兵用刀子威胁，没得逞，就将他的右手拇指砍去。而赵广其实是用左手作画的。局势平定以后，赵广只画观音大士。又过了几年，赵广死了，如今有地位的知识分子所藏的李伯时的观音画，大多是赵广的手笔。 7、苏武牧羊北海上

(1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关，还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁，西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍，而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚，毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下，他报考了哥伦比亚大学，所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校，“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候，他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密，接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点：后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择，等。

综合练习（二） 一、英译汉 If people mean anything at all by the expression "untimely death", they must believe that some deaths run on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely---a long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measure of that life was still to be taken. History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete.Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue. 参考答案： 如果人们藉“英年早逝”这一字眼真的意欲表达什么含义的话，他们必然相信某些人的辞世可以算是寿终正寝，而另一些人则“死不逢时”。死于年迈很少被冠以“死不逢时”之名，因为能度过漫长的一生被认为是甚为圆满的。反之，如果所碰到的是一位年轻人之死，人们会以为这位年轻人风华正茂，前途无可限量，生命的倒计时尚未真正开始。 当然，历史否定这一切。在诸多较为著名的“英年早逝”的情形中，我们会忆起玛丽莲·梦露与詹姆斯·迪恩斯之死，其生命的短暂丝毫无损于其生命的完整性。对于约翰·济慈年方26便溘然长逝这一事实，文人墨客们皆痛不欲生，但他们中仅有半数人诙谐地认为，设若他们也死于这一年龄，其一生可视为失败。视英年早逝为不圆满，这一观念有悖于逻辑，因为衡量生命的尺度乃是留给世界的印记，是生命的力度及其美德。 汉译英 吸收外商直接投资，是中国对外开放基本国策的重要组成部分。二十多年来，随着改革开放逐步深化，中国吸收外资的规模和质量不断提高。截至2001年7月底，中国累计批准设立的外商投资企业37.8万家，合同外资金额7170.1亿美元，实际使用外资金额3728.3亿美元。 今年以来，外商来华直接投资继续保持良好势头。1-7月，共批准设立外商投资企业1.4万家，比去年同期增长18.2%；合同外资金额402.9亿美元，增长45.8%；实际使用外资金额242.1亿美元，增长21.7%。 参考答案： FDI absorption constitutes an important component of China's basic state policy of reform and opening up. As the reform and opening up going into depth over the past two decades and more, China has been constantly improving its FDI utilization in terms of scale and quality. As of the end of July 2001, China had cumulatively approved 378,000 foreign funded enterprises with a contractual value of USD 717.01 billion, of which USD 372.83 billion had been actually paid in. China has maintained a good momentum in its FDI attraction since this year. January through July, 14,000 foreign-invested enterprises were approved to establish, 18.2% higher than the corresponding period of last year, the contractual value of foreign investment grew by 45.8% to USD 40.29 billion and the actually utilized value climbed by 21.7% to USD 24.21 billion. 综合练习（三） 一、英译汉 A good book may be among the best of friends.

高中文言文翻译专题训练(一） 1、魏文侯使乐羊伐中山 魏文侯使乐羊伐中山，克之；以封其子击。文侯问于群臣曰：“我何如主？”皆曰：“仁君。”仁座曰：“君得中山，不以封君之弟而以封君之子，何谓仁君！”文侯怒，仁座趋出。次问翟璜，对曰：“仁君。”文侯曰：“何以知之？”对曰：“臣闻君仁则臣直。向者仁座之言直，臣是以知之。”文候悦，使翟璜召仁座而反之，亲下堂迎之，以为上客。 译文： 魏文侯派乐羊子攻打中山，攻破了它；魏文侯把中山封给他的儿子击。魏文侯向群臣问道：“我是怎样的君主？”群臣都说“您是仁爱的君主。”仁座说：“您得到中山，不把它封赏给您的弟弟却把它封赏给您的儿子，怎么能说是仁君？”问候发怒了，仁座跑了出去。文侯又问翟璜，翟璜回答说“您是仁君。”文侯问道：“您凭什么知道的？”翟璜回答道：“臣听说国君仁爱臣子就直率。刚才仁座的话直率，我因此知道您仁爱。”文侯高兴了，就让翟璜叫仁座回来，他亲自下堂迎接仁座，把他当作上等客人。 2、子思言苟变于卫侯 子思言苟变于卫侯曰：“其才可将五百乘。”公曰：“吾知其可将；然变也尝为吏，赋于民而食人二鸡子，故弗用也。”子思曰：“夫圣人之官人，犹匠之用木也，取其所长，弃其所短；故杞梓连抱而有数尺之朽，良工不弃。今君处战国之世，选爪牙之士，而以二卵弃干城之将，此不可使闻于邻国也。”公再拜曰：“谨受教矣！” 卫侯言计非是，而群臣和者如出一口。子思曰：“以吾观卫，所谓‘君不君，臣不臣’者也！”公丘懿子曰：“何乃若是？”子思曰：“人主自臧，则众谋不进。事是而臧之，犹却众谋，况和非以长恶乎！夫不察事之是非而悦人赞已，暗莫甚焉；不度理之所在而阿谀求容，谄莫甚焉。君暗臣谄，以居百姓之上，民不与也。若此不已，国无类矣！” 子思言于卫侯曰：“君之国事将日非矣！”公曰：“何故？”对曰：“有由然焉。君出言自以为是，而卿大夫莫敢矫其非；卿大夫出言亦自以为是，而士庶人莫敢矫其非。君臣既自贤矣，而群下同声贤之，贤之则顺而有福，矫之则逆而有祸，如此则善安从生！《诗》曰：‘具曰予圣，谁知乌之雌雄？’抑亦似君之君臣乎！” 译文： 1
翻译练习(3)
参考译文: (1) 美国人的空间与中国人的场所 美国人有空间意识，没有场所概念。如果你去住在郊外的美国人家中作客，你要做的第一件事几乎总是不由自主地走向观景窗。说来真怪，你在主人屋内首先赞扬他屋外的景色多么美！主人很高兴你会欣赏他屋外的远景。远方的地平线不仅仅是天地间的分界线，而且是未来的象征。美国人不会扎根于他的寓所，不管这寓所多么舒适：他的目光被辽阔的空间引向地平线上的一点，那是他的未来。 相比之下，来看看中国人传统的家。四周围着光秃秃的墙壁，外面是个院子，院角可能有个小花园。一进入这样一个私家小院，你就会置身于一种静谧、优美的氛围之中，那房舍、小径、石头、花草构成了一个井然有序的小天地。可是你看不到远处的风景：你前面没有任何开阔的空间，唯一的开阔空间是头顶上的天空。中国人扎根于他的场所之中。 (2) AA制（各自付账） 随后便出现了一度称作妇女解放的运动。我这一代女性宣称我们要求平等。说我们不想让别人为我们开门，我们不想让别人替我们付账。突然间，让男人请去饮酒进餐被认为是一种侮辱，认为这是男人们让我们安分守己的阴谋，所以我们拿出自己的支票簿，各付各的账。这是一个多么大的错误啊！如果我顺其自然地同意别人为我付钱的话，不仅可以省下很多钱，而且还省去了许多烦恼。我常常整顿饭都在考虑账单来了怎么办？我是否应该表示付一半？如果我不这样做，他是否期待我会吻他或……如果是他付账，我还能吃龙虾吗？在我知道如果他接受了我提出的付一半的提议而这时我又会感到失望时，提出付一半的建议又有多少是真诚的呢？如果他的钱没有我的钱多，账单全部由我付吗？ 翻译练习(1): The growth of e-trade during the past few years is, without doubt, the most formidable development in the history of commerce —and there seems to be no foreseeable slowing down. The speed of penetration of this medium into every commercial media is almost incomprehensible to even the most ardent cyber-enthusiasts. Not since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century has development so dramatically altered the path of human behavior. The possibilities of further developments seem literally without limits. Future cyber applications to business, not even explored, seem to have no boundaries. Nor are these developments restricted to interface with current desktop and laptop computers. The increasing appearance of wireless appliances, such as cellular phones, not to mention the infinite means of transmitting and distributing messages from one point to another and the continuing miniaturization of equipment, promise to alter our means of doing commerce throughout the world. Who knows what other, never before invented communication media will surface tomorrow and in the next few years? The impact of this technical revolution is having on retail commerce and on the means we have come to associate with traditional retail marketing is felt more and more every day. It is likely to revolutionize the relationships marketers have with retailers, their channels of distribution, their suppliers, their advertising agencies and their ultimate consumers. Marketers will need to examine how the rocketing cyberspace developments will affect their
