(分数:60.00)_正确答案:()解析:乔治华盛顿不仅是一个富有的种植园主,也是一个猎狐专业户,但他跟清教主义一点儿都不沾边儿。清教徒虔诚得有点儿出格,他都视而不见,也从没对此发表过任何评论。证据显示,虽然他一年要做12到 15次礼拜,但似乎确实对宗教没有什么天性或感触。 耶稣基督这个名字在华盛顿卷帙浩繁的公开书信中一次都没有提到过。他只在大量的书信中提到了上帝这个词,但他把这个词当作是
26、命运或天意的同义词来用。怀特主教是华盛顿多年的旧相识,在华盛顿去世后,他写到,他从来没有听到华盛顿在任何宗教话题上发表过评论。他还写到,尽管华盛顿在教堂“既严肃又专注”,他却从没看到过华盛顿下跪祈祷。 然而,他认为宗教有保持社会稳定的力量。他自己是对宗教没有什么感觉,不过,他认为宗教对其他人,特别是对普通大众来说是个好东西。对那些理解美国人生活方式的人,也会从中明白美国现代工业领袖的态度了。 华盛顿的告别演说毫无疑问代表了他最成熟的观点看法,演说中他对上帝的名字只字不提,不过他对宗教表示了好评,就是“在所有的心性和习惯中,宗教和道德对政治繁荣是不可或缺的支持力量。” 读到这儿,我们停下来反思一
27、下。他把宗教看作是政策性的东西。这样的话,我们本可以确信我们对他的思想已有所了解,不过这份报告并没有达到我们的预期,因为他没有把宗教与财产挂钩。任何一位现代工业领袖都会把宗教与财产联系在一起。但是直到报告的末尾我们也没有看到这样的说法。在同一段落中,他进一步说道: 我们只需要简单地问一句,宗教的誓言是法庭的调查工具,如果宗教职责背离了这些誓言,那么财产、名望以及生活的保障又会去哪儿呢?我们要保持谨慎,没有宗教的话还可以用道德来维持我们的政治繁荣。 解析 In the same paragraph, a few lines further on, he says: Let it simply b
28、e asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? 本句较长,但结构简单。冒号把句子分为两个部分,第一部分主句是“a few lines further on”,第二部分较长,主句是“let it simply be asked”,后面是一个很长的问句,包含一个 if引导
29、的从句,从句中又包含一个 which引导的定语从句修饰“oaths”,从句中还有一个地点状语“in courts of justice”。翻译时,理清逻辑顺序,从后往前翻译,这样使句子长度适中,表达更加顺畅。 在同一段落中,他进一步说道:我们只需要简单地问一句,宗教的誓言是法庭的调查工具,如果宗教职责背离了这些誓言,那么财产、名望以及生活的保障又会去哪儿呢? 翻译英文长句,尤其是套着几个从句的长句,首先要理清逻辑关系,然后从后往前以汉语的短句来进行翻译。32.马拉松赛跑是考验人的意志和力量的竞技运动。长跑者在同一起跑线出发。一眼望不到尽头的跑道上,强者与弱者的差距逐渐拉开。最后一圈是拼搏的时刻
