share content, host discussions, keep track of student work在结构和内容上并行,因此在保留原文动宾结构的情况下,利用增译法将三个名词分别译为“教学内容”、“课程讨论”和“学业进度”,在内容上也相互呼应。
参考译文:然而,由于这些平台能够更加便捷地分享教学内容、开展课程讨论并同步学生学业进度,现如今各大高校都转而将其应用到传统课堂中。
2、Soon, they will be able to monitor which students are spending 15 minutes on a calculus problem and which ones slog away for an hour. 解析:原文中花费15分钟和苦干一小时形成对比,因此翻译时需要体现此对比关系。
参考译文:很快,这些平台将能够监测哪些学生在某个微积分问题上仅花费了15分钟,而哪些却苦干了一个小时。
3、It used to be that getting accepted to a prestigious university was how you accessed the best professors and could hang out with the smartest students.
解析:getting accepted to不要直译为“为......所接受”,否则太过生硬。access意为“接近,使用”,hang out 意为“与......出去玩”,此处根据上下文意思,译为“结识”和“结交”更加恰当。
参考译文:过去,要想在一所著名大学里有所发展,就要了解如何结识最出色的教授以及结交最聪明的学生。 1309 【原文】
Americans are much more likely than citizens of other nations to believe that they live in a meritocracy, i.e. Government by people selected according to merit. But this self-image is a fantasy: America actually stands out as a the advanced country in which it matters most who your parents were, the country in which those born on one of society?s lower rungs have the least chance of climbing to the top or even to the middle. And if you ask why America is more class-bound in practice than the rest of the Western world, a large part of the reason is that our government falls down on the job of creating equal opportunity.
The failure starts early: in America, the holes in the social safety net mean that both low-income mothers and their children are all too likely to suffer from poor nutrition and receive inadequate health care. It continues once children reach school age, where they encounter a system in which the affluent send their kids to good, well-financed public schools or, if they choose, to private schools, while less-advantaged children get a far worse education.

美国人可能比任何其他国家的人都更相信他们生活在一个精英制度之下,人们推选的政府也是据其优势。然而,这个自我形象是一种幻想:作为先进国家,实际上美国的突出特点是出身至关重要,在这个国度里,来自社会底层的人几乎没有机会爬到社会中层,更不用说社会顶层。
如果你要问为什么实际上美国比其他西方国家都要阶级分明,主要原因就是我们的政府在创造公平机会方面的失败。
这种不公平很早以前就开始了:在美国,由于社会安全网存在漏洞,这就意味着低收入的母亲和他们的孩子完全有可能存在营养不良,得不到足够的医疗服务。孩子到了上学年龄这种情况也不会得到改观,他们所遇到的体制是富人可以送自己的孩子到资金充足的好的公立学校上学,如果愿意,还可以从送到私立学校上学,而穷人孩子接受的教育却非常差。 【评析】
这篇文章出自克鲁格曼《纽约时报》专栏文章America?s Unlevel Field(“并不公平的美国竞技场 ”),继续抨击共和党总统候选人罗姆尼。同学平时备考选材多注意这些外国报刊文章。这篇文章的难度比较适中,其中第一个长句是难点,也是理解整个短文的重点。

自古以来,我国各民族人民劳动、生息、繁衍在祖国的土地上,各民族组之间建立了紧密的政治经济文化联系,早在两千多年前就形成了幅员辽阔的统一国家。悠久的中华文化,成为维系民族团结和国家统一的牢固纽带。
我们的先人历来把独立自主作为立国之本。中国作为人类文明发祥地之一,在几千年的历史进程中,文化传统始终没有中断。近代中国虽屡遭列强欺凌,国势衰败,但经过全民族的百年抗争,又以巨人的姿态重新站立起来。 【参考译文】
From ancient times, our people of all ethnic groups have labored, lived, multiplied on this land, where closely-knitted political, economic and cultural links have been established. As early as two thousand years ago, we have built a unified nation with a vast territory. The long-standing Chinese cultures become a strong bond for ethnic harmony and national unity.
