This is a knotty passage

这是一段复杂难懂的文字。

||1:Since 2010 the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has freed some 2,500 schools from local-authority control, including some of the ones that went awry in Birmingham.||2:Though all remain under the control of the Department for Education and must submit to inspections by Ofsted, the schools watchdog, head teachers have considerable power to shape the curriculum.||3:In addition to these “academies”, parents have been encouraged to set up “free schools”.||4:Institutionally, it is the coalition's most successful public-sector reform: by contrast, changes to policing, health and welfare have been slow and troubled.||5:But the education reforms have ruffled feathers, and posed a knotty question.

||1:2010年，保守党—自民党联合政府让2500所学校脱离地方当局的管控，这包括其中一些出问题的伯明翰学校。||2:即使所有的学校仍然在教育部的管理之下，并且必须服从教育标准局的审查。因为学校的监管者——校长，有相当大的权力来修改课程。||3:除了这些“学术型学校”，家长们还被怂恿去建立“免费学校”。||4:在制度上，这是联合政府最成功的一次有关国营部门的改革：相比之下，在治安、医疗和福利方面的改变显得进程缓慢，而且困难重重。||5:但这次的教育改革民怨难平，问题棘手。

||1:Because inflation neatly cleaves several knotty problems in cosmology, many astrophysicists (though not all) subscribe to the theory.||2:But direct, unambiguous evidence for it has been lacking.||3:That was why Dr Kuo was visiting Dr Linde—to tell him that, thanks to the work of a telescope in Antarctica called BICEP-2, such evidence had now been found.||4:After digesting the news, an emotional Dr Linde broke open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.||5:The video has been viewed almost 3m times.
