||1:In Mr Gray’s most substantial essay, “An agenda for Green conservatism”, he attempts to rescue conservatism from the ideological excesses of the 1980s.||2:This is a thought-provoking enterprise, deserving a book on its own.||3:But if it became a book, the author’s views on such things as the failings of professional monopolies in education and health would benefit from more statistics and fewer assertions—calling, perhaps, for investment in a researcher.

||1:而在其最有分量的文章“绿色保守主义之议程”中，格雷试图将保守主义从二十世纪八十年代的意识形态泛滥中拯救出来。||2:这一尝试之举引人深思，话题本身甚至值得以专著加以探讨。||3:但若果真成书，那么作者对诸如教育与健康领域职业垄断的失败等议题所持有的见解，便需从更多的统计数据中获益，而凭空断言在其中所起的作用则应减少——这可能需要在研究者方面的投入。

||1:Above all, the deep structural failings of Italy—an inefficient public sector, a poor demographic outlook, lousy universities, a calamitously slow judicial system—will take years to put right.||2:The euro crisis has shown the urgent need for reforms, but by stunting growth it has also made them harder.||3:And Italy has few liberals who genuinely believe in reform.

||1:总之，意大利结构上的深层次症结——失效的政治系统，老化的社会人口，没落的公立大学，效率奇低的法院系统——所有这些，都需要很长的时间去一一解决。||2:欧元危机已经昭示了改革的迫在眉睫，然而滞缓的国内发展困境又让改革举步维艰。||3:如今在意大利，原本拥护改革的人，现已所剩无几了。

||1: IT MAY have taken the Supreme Court just an hour to wrap up its discussion of illegal immigration this week, but America’s politicians, it seems, cannot get enough of the subject. ||2: It will be several months before the court rules on the case in question, which concerns a state law in Arizona, but Democratic leaders in the Senate are already planning a vote to overturn its decision if the law is upheld. ||3: That vote would presumably fail, thanks to Republican opposition, but it would allow the Democrats to keep the subject in the news. ||4: Democrats are also attacking Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, for supporting the law. ||5: Mr Romney, meanwhile, has dismissed the whole fuss as an effort to distract Hispanic voters from Mr Obama’s failings as steward of the economy. ||6: The outcome of the presidential race, both sides acknowledge, could conceivably hinge on whether it is the state of the economy or laws like Arizona’s that stir more indignation among Hispanics.

||1:最高法院本周对于非法移民的讨论也许只持续了一个小时，但是美国的政客们看上去从未停止在非法移民这个问题上大做文章。||2:最高法院裁决这个涉及到亚利桑那州州法律的案子还将花上几个月,但是参议院中民主党的领袖已经在计划,一旦最高法院判亚利桑那州州法律有效,就发动一场投票来推翻这一决议。||3:由于参议院中共和党的反对,这一投票多半会失败,但民主党却能把这一话题保留在公众视野中。||4:民主党也批评米特·罗姆尼,因为这位预定的共和党总统竞选人支持这一法律。||5:同时,罗姆尼认为这整场闹剧只不过是民主党人想借此来分散西班牙裔选民的注意力,让他们忽视奥巴马总统作为经济守门人的失职。||6:民主共和两党都承认,经济状态和激起西班牙裔美国人愤慨的亚利桑那州法律,都可能影响总统大选的结果.
