1:Westminster has ruled out a currency union—correctly, given that the nationalists propose a deficit-widening fiscal splurge and that the assets of Scottish banks are an alarming 12 times the country's GDP.2:It might relent, but only if Scotland agrees to such strict oversight that independence ends up meaning little.[...]113:The nationalists say that kinks over currency and the like could be worked out amicably—that it would not be in Britain's interests to antagonise its new northern neighbour, particularly since (they hint darkly ) Scotland could refuse to take on its share of the national debt.4:They are far too sanguine.5:If Scotland goes, the rest of Britain will be furious, both at the Scots and at their own leaders, who will be impelled to drive a hard bargain.

1:英国政府已经表示，不会与苏格兰组成货币联盟。这是肯定的，毕竟民族党准备扩大财政赤字，而苏格兰银行的资产是其国内生产总值（GDP）的十二倍。2:当然这事还有的商量，但前提是苏格兰必须停止闹独立。[...]113:民族党说，这些资金问题会得到妥善处理，再说了，英国要与它在北部的新邻国闹别扭对它自己也是有弊无益，尤其他们还再三无耻地暗示，苏格兰可能不会承担那部分原本是他们的负债的。4:但他们太过乐观了。5:苏格兰一旦独立，无论是对苏格兰人民，还是对独立党领袖，英国都将大光其火，苏格兰必将与英国进行艰难的经济谈判。

1:Reptiles were never frightening to him, only fun.2:The little spectacled cayman, mysterious in its glass case in his boyhood bedroom, or so super-still, sitting on his head like a tiny allosaurus with its cool claws in his hair; the pet boa constrictor, in beautiful reticulated loops, swimming across the family pool; the snakes from the bog behind his house in suburban Norwood, New Jersey, where he would spend whole days squelching and hunting.3:He retained that obsessiveness and excitement, never growing out of them.[...]114:His college thesis was on the spectacled cayman; he lived in Gainesville, Florida, where alligators sun on the paths; his favourite work involved drifting, by torchlight, in a silent punt among the vegetation mats of the Mamirauá in Brazil or the llanos of Venezuela, with crocodilians darkly all about him, or looping them up on a six-foot pole to take DNA samples from them and massage their scaly necks.5:It was while looking for dwarf cayman in Uganda in February that he seems to have contracted the malaria that killed him.

1:于他而言，爬行类动物一点不可怕，反而是乐趣。2:小眼镜美洲鳄不可思议地躺在他孩提时代卧室的玻璃箱里，或者像一只把冷僳僳的爪子抓住他头发的小霸王龙，如此安静地坐在他的头上；备受宠爱的大王蟒呈迷人的环状，在他的家用池子里来回游动；在新泽西洲诺伍德郊区，他住房后面的泥塘，是他愿意整天在里面咯吱咯吱行走并猎物的乐土，那里有种种蛇类。3:他乐此不疲、兴奋异常、从不言弃。[...]114:他的大学论文就是写的有眼镜状斑纹的美洲鳄；他曾经居住的地方——佛罗里达州的盖恩斯维尔，鳄鱼在小路上晒太阳；借着手电的光亮，划着静行无声的平底船，在巴西的马尔马拉或委内瑞拉的亚诺斯河流植物垫衬的水中漂流，是他所钟爱的工作的一部分，其间，黑色鳄鱼遍及他的四周，或者，把鳄鱼环绕在一个6英尺长的杆子上，以采集它们的DNA样本，然后按摩它们那多鳞的脖子。5:今年2月，他在乌干达寻找小美洲鳄时，似乎染上了致他于死命的疟疾。
