1:MEPs were outraged when EU leaders decided, for the first time, to trim the budget for 2014-20 by 3% from the previous period.2:This was a triumph for Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron, who also preserved his country’s much-hated rebate.[...]113:How, critics asked, could he dictate a budget for the whole EU, running to 2020, when Britain might not even belong after 2017, when Mr Cameron wants to hold a referendum on membership? In truth, the budget was dictated by Angela Merkel.4:The German chancellor lined up with Mr Cameron against France’s Francois Hollande, who clumsily allied himself with the parliament.5:The budget ended up where she wanted it: at 1% of gross national income.

1:而本次欧盟财政问题上，各国首脑首次决定从今期开始削减2014年至2020年财政预算的3%后，欧洲议会议会十分震怒。2:英国首相大卫·卡梅隆在支持紧缩欧盟的同时，也推迟了国内屡遭不满的减税政策，本次决定对其而言是一大胜利。[...]113:然而，评论家质疑道，根据卡梅隆所提出关于欧盟去留的全民公投，英国或许在2017年退出欧盟，那么他有何资格要求欧盟执行一项时至2020年的预算计划呢？事实上，该计划的推行者是德国总理安格拉·默克尔（Angela Merkel）。4:与卡梅隆结盟后，默克尔面对的是法国总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德，而奥朗德则失败地选择了与欧洲议会联合。5:欧盟最终达成财政预算正如默克尔所期望的，为德国国民总收入的1%。

1:The EPA retorts that the benefits of all these regulations, largely in the form of diseases and deaths averted, far outweigh the costs, at least by its reckoning.2:Others question both the inclusion in its sums of ancillary benefits, such as the reduction in fine particles that will accompany cuts in mercury emissions, and the value it assigns to improved public health (see article).[...]113:Moreover, the EPA did not dream up the seemingly haphazard process by which most of these rules are formulated and applied: that is dictated by the Clean Air Act, which was approved by Congress in 1970 and updated in 1990, both times with strong bipartisan support.

1:环保署则反驳说，所有这些法规的好处，主要在于避免了大量的疾病和死亡，这远大于投入成本，至少在他们看来。2:另外一些问题也能起到综合效应，比如，减少颗粒排放将同时削减汞排放，也就改善了公共健康。[...]113:而且，环保总署的大多数的规则制定和应用并不是看起来那么杂乱无章，都是依据1970年的空气清洁法案和1990年的修正案，这两次法案的修订当时都得到了两党的强烈支持。

1: Her ironic and individualistic spirit was ill fitted to the grey conformity of “people's Poland”: the Nobel citation said she wrote with the ease of Mozart and the fury of Beethoven. [...]112: Playful, subtle and haunting, her poetry could never be in harmony with the socialist realist style dictated by the country's cultural commissars. 3: She mocked their intolerance of dissent in a poem on pornography:

1:她喜欢讽刺、崇尚个人主义的精神与“人民波兰”的死气沉沉和整齐划一格格不入：诺贝尔评委会说，她的诗有着莫扎特的恬然与贝多芬的愤怒。[...]112:富有趣味、难以捉摸又耐人寻味，她的诗永远也无法与国家文化部政委指示要求的那种社会主义式的现实风格和平相处。3:她在一首关于色情文学的诗中嘲讽了波兰当局的党同伐异。

1: At the end of this work you will know a lot about Europe, about the cold war and about Mr Stone himself. [...]112: But the book has a careless air. The prose reads as if it had been dictated rather than written, and was then sent straight to the printers. 3: The word “besides” appears with alarming frequency as a way of linking page-long paragraphs. 4: Colloquialisms that would be charming once become grating and lazy when you meet them page after page. 5: Episodes that normally count as rather important, such as the Polish shipyard strikes in 1980, pass in a blur, whereas hobby-horses such as the decline of British universities get an energetic ride.

1:看完以后，对于欧洲，冷战或者是斯通本人，你都会了解更多。[...]112:但这本书却有些草率，它看起来更像是口述后直接交付印刷厂。3:用“besides”将长达一页的段落连接起来，其使用频率多到惊人。4:许多口语，如果只用一次，宛如神来之笔，但如果连篇累牍则让人难忍，徒生惰怠。5:一些通常被认为比较重要的事件，如1980年波兰码头工人大罢工，只是一笔带过，而作者喜欢的话题如英国大学衰退，却是大书特书。
