Day 3
Stagnation, both political and economic, has been the hallmark of a country where little has changed for decades, even as power has rotated between the established parties of left and right.
Yavin：政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)的停滯不前，是一個(gè)幾十年來(lái)沒(méi)什么變化的國(guó)家的特點(diǎn)，盡管這個(gè)國(guó)家的政權(quán)在建立起的左右翼政黨間交替著。
參考：法國(guó)過(guò)去幾十年都鮮有變化，政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)上的停滯已經(jīng)成了這個(gè)國(guó)家的典型特征，即便傳統(tǒng)的左派和右派輪流執(zhí)政也毫不起色。
注：established這個(gè)詞很有意思，絕對(duì)的報(bào)刊高頻詞，通常表示某事/人/物已有穩(wěn)固地位，比如established capitalist countries通常被翻成老牌資本主義國(guó)家。They are an established company with a good reputation.他們是一家地位穩(wěn)固，信譽(yù)良好的公司。An established actor著名演員。
The implications of these insurgencies are hard to exaggerate.
Yavin：這些叛亂所牽扯范圍的已經(jīng)大得不能再夸張了。
參考：這些黑馬帶來(lái)的影響難以估量。
Infurgencies原指an attempt to take control of a country by force,此處是和老牌政黨形成對(duì)比。
The resulting realignment will have reverberations far beyond France’s borders. It could revitalize the European Union, or wreck it.
Yavin：作為結(jié)果的改組所產(chǎn)生的回響遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了法國(guó)的界限。它可以使歐盟獲得新生，或者徹底破壞歐盟。
參考：隨之而來(lái)的改變所影響的范圍遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不止法國(guó)本土，歐盟極有可能因此重振或毀滅。
Reverberation原意是回聲，引申為影響，尤指廣泛且消極的影響。
Further fuelling voter’s anger is their anguish at the state of France.
Yavin：進(jìn)一步激起選舉人憤怒的是他們對(duì)于法國(guó)現(xiàn)狀的焦慮。
參考：法國(guó)的現(xiàn)狀令當(dāng)?shù)剡x民極為苦惱，這進(jìn)一步激發(fā)了他們的憤怒。
Its vast state, which absorbs 57% of GDP, has sapped the country’s vitality.
Yavin：法國(guó)占了國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值百分之五十七的大部分地區(qū)，已經(jīng)損害了國(guó)家的活力。（理解完全錯(cuò)誤）
參考：龐大的政府消耗了GDP的57%， 國(guó)家的活力因此而被削弱。
Sap vitality/energy/confidence: sap sth/sap sb of sth: to make sb/sth weaker; to destroy sth gradually. ?The hot sun sapped our energy. Years of failure have sapped him of his confidence.
注：Vast state指政府臃腫龐大，開(kāi)支驚人，中國(guó)2010年政府開(kāi)支占GDP比重為22%， 供參考~
If she pulls France out of the euro, it would trigger a financial crisis and doom a union that, for all its flaws, has promoted peace and prosperity in Europe for six decades.
Yavin：如果她使法國(guó)脫歐，這一舉動(dòng)將會(huì)導(dǎo)致一場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)，并且判定一個(gè)聯(lián)合組織由于它所有的缺陷必定失敗，而這個(gè)聯(lián)合組織在過(guò)去的六十年里都致力于歐洲的和平和繁榮。
參考：如果她使法國(guó)退出歐元區(qū)，則會(huì)引發(fā)一場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)，并且將歐盟帶向滅亡。盡管歐盟有各種缺陷，但在過(guò)去六十年間確實(shí)促進(jìn)了歐洲的和平與繁榮發(fā)展。

總結(jié)：首先，作為政治小白，表示這篇文章很受用。之前對(duì)法國(guó)的認(rèn)識(shí)都只限于舌尖上的法蘭西，和鐵塔、塞納河之類的文化，原來(lái)法國(guó)有的不只是浪漫，還有不斷的暴亂、如同我們英語(yǔ)專業(yè)一般低的就業(yè)率。然后，關(guān)于神句的翻譯和積累，之前由于一些原因，這是我第一次完成任務(wù)，發(fā)現(xiàn)和老師的翻譯差距巨大，沒(méi)事，繼續(xù)積累。
