参考答案>>
1.In spite of “endless talk of different”, American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people.
结构剖析：本句是一个简单句，开始是句子的状语In spite of " endless talk of difference " ，后面是句子的主干。
参考译文：尽管人们“无休止地谈论相互之间的差别”，美国社会仍然是同化人们的惊人机器。
核心词汇：
Homogenizing 使均匀，同化
2. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite,these were stores " anyone could enter , regardless of class or background .
结构剖析：本句是一个简单句，开始是介词结构Insteed of intimate shops … 作状语，后面是主干these were stores … ，定语从句anyone could enter , regardless of class or back 盯ound 作先行词stores 的定语。
参考译文：这些商店不是只迎合有知识的精英们的少数人的商店，任何人，不分阶层或背景，都可以进。

regardless of 无论，不管
knowledgeable 有知识的，知识丰富的
3 . Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture , which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous .

elevate提高
altogether 完全；总计

结构剖析：这里包含两个句子，一个在引号之中，另一个在引号之外，其中第二个句子Hence the description of America as a " graveyard " for languages 较难理解：hence 后面直接跟名词，相当于一个句子，字面意思是“因此美国被人描述为语言的‘墓地”, ，就是说由于移民的后代被同化，他们学习英语，而把祖先原来的语言给忘了，这样移民原来的语言就在家庭中丢失了，这就像人死了一样，因此美国也就成了埋葬移民原来语言的墓地。
参考译文：大多数移民家庭到了第三代时，原来的语言就丢失了。因此美国被人描述为语言的“墓地”。
核心词汇：
original 原来的，最初的；有创造性的
graveyard 墓地
hence 因此

>>
答案:
{
1.Americans no longer expect public figures , whether in speech or in writing , to command the English language with skill and gift .Nor do they aspire to such command themselves.
词汇：public figure 公众人物
command 掌握；命令
gift 天赋；礼物（with gift 自然地）
aspire to 追求，渴望
结构分析：第一个句子的宾语public figures和宾语补足语to command the English language…之间有一个插入语whether…or…；
第二个句子的句首是否定副词nor，主谓出现了部分倒装，助动词do放在主语的前面。
参考译文：美国人不再期望公众人物在演讲或写作之时可以娴熟和自然地驾驭英语，而公众人物本身也不这样要求自己。
2.In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing : The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should , Care , John McWhorter , a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views ,sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.
词汇：degradation 恶化，破坏
linguist 语言学家
controverialist 争论者，好争论者
liberal 开明的；不受拘束的
conservative 保守的，传统的
counter-culture 反正统文化（指20世纪60和70年代美国青年中形成的一种文化群落，表现为反传统的生活方式和思想道德观念。）
responsible for 是……的原因；对……负责
decline 衰落，下降
formal 正式的
结构分析：本句主干是John McWhorter…sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English；
开始是一个状语，其中book和后面的书名Doing Our Own Thing : The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should , Care , 是同位语；
John McWhorter后面的短语a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views是一个较长的同位语，具体说明John McWhorter是一个什么样的人。
参考译文：语言学家约翰?麦克沃特喜欢争论，他的观点混杂着保守派与自由派的看法。在他最近出版的一本书《做我们自己的事：语言和音乐的退化，以及为什么我们应该，喜欢或在意》中，他认为，20世纪60年代反正统文化的胜利要是正式英语的衰落的原因。
选做题目：
3.Mr.McWhorter’s academic specialty is language history and change , and he sees the gradual disapperance of “whom” , for example , to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-ending of Old English.词汇：academic 学术的，学院的
specialty 专业，专长；特产，特色菜
gradual 逐渐的，逐步的
no more…than 像……一样不怎么样
case-ending 词格尾缀（case是语法中的格）
Old English 古英语（公元1100年以前的英语）；近似英语以前的英语
结构分析：本句是一个并列句，包含两个以and连接的分句，其中第二个分句比较复杂：宾语是the gradual disapperance of “whom”，后面是插入语for example，接着是to be natural and no more regrettable，这一部分作宾语的补足语；最后是比较结构no more…than。
参考译文：麦克沃特先生的学术专长是语言史和语言变化。举例来说，他认为“whom”一词的逐渐消失就是自然而然的，像古英语中词格结尾的消失一样毫不可惜。
4.But the cult of the authentic and the personal , “doing our own thing”, has spelt the death of formal speech , writing , poetry and music.
词汇：cult 崇拜
authentic 真正的，可靠的
spell 导致，带来（不良后果）
结构分析：本句是一个简单句，主语较为复杂：the cult of the authentic and the personal是主语，其中“doing our own thing”是the cult of the authentic and the personal的同位语，起补充说明作用。
参考译文：但是对真实的和个性化的东西的崇拜，即“做我们自己的事情”，已经导致正式的演讲、写作、诗歌和音乐的死亡。

一世纪以前,Freud 明确的表述了他一个革命性的理论--梦是我们无意识的欲望和害怕的被掩饰的影子;
到了20世纪70年代后期,精神病学家 已经改变他们这种想法认为那只是 "大脑噪音"--一种 在睡觉中中枢神经修复工作产生的随机产物
4.Now research suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat , regulating moods while the brain is “off-line”.
现在的研究 怀疑 梦诗我们大脑情感恒恒温器的一部分 ,它在我们大脑"离线"状态时调节 心情
>>>答案
1.Just as on smoking , voices now come form many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it’s OK to keep pouring fumes into air until we know for sure.
词汇：just as 正如
quarter （消息、帮助等的）来源方面，某方面的人士；四分之一
pour 倾泻，涌出；倒
fume （有害、浓烈或难闻的）烟（气或汽）
结构分析：本句主干是voices now come form many quarters…；
现在分词短语insisting…做伴随状语；
Insisting后面接了两个以that引导的宾语从句，其中第二个宾语从句还包含以until引导的时间状语从句。
参考译文：正如对待吸烟问题一样，现在很多方面的声音都坚持认为关于全球变暖的科学研究还不完善，认为在我们确定之前一直向大气中排放废气是可以的。
2.Instead of a plan of action , they continue to press for more research----a classic case of “paralysis by analysis”.
词汇：instead of 没有
press for 敦促，竭力推行
classic 典型的，经典的
paralysis 瘫痪
paralysis by analysis 研究导致瘫痪（就是无休止地研究一件事情，直到最后也没有采取任何行动）
结构分析：instead of表示否定；
破折号后面的部分不是修饰前面的名词research，而是说明前面的整句话。
参考译文：他们没有制定行动计划，而是继续要求进行更多的研究——这是一个典型的“研究导致瘫痪”的案例。
选做题目：
3.A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears ; by the late 1970s , neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise”----the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep.

unconscious 下意识的，无意识的；失去知觉的
neurologist 神经病学家，神经病医生
switch to 转变，转向
mental 心理的
random 随机的，任意的

neural 神经系统的
结构分析：本句由分号分为两个部分；
第一部分的主干是Freud formulated his revolutionary theory…，宾语theory后面是一个以that引导的同位语从句，说明theory的内容；
第二部分中，代词them指代的是dreams，破折号后面的部分进一步解释什么是mental noise，work后面的that引导一个定语从句，修饰work。
参考译文：一个世纪以前，弗洛伊德阐述了他的革命性理论：梦是我们无意识欲望和恐惧伪装后的阴影；在20世纪70年代晚期，神经科学家转而认为梦是“心理噪音”——睡眠过程中神经修复工作产生的随即副产品。
4.Now research suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat , regulating moods while the brain is “off-line”.
词汇：suspect 怀疑；n .嫌疑人
thermostat 温度自动调节器、恒温器
regulate 调节；管理，控制
mood 心情，情绪
off-line 下线，停止工作

参考译文：现在的研究人员推测梦是心理情感调节器的一部分，在大脑“下线”的时候调节情绪。
