||1:But government plans to let same-sex couples not only marry but marry in church, detailed on December 11th, have startled the ecclesiastical horses and divided the already fissiparous Conservatives.||2:The Anglican and Catholic churches, along with the Muslim Council of Britain and Lord Sacks, the Chief Rabbi, oppose the move, which contravenes their belief that marriage is between a woman and a man.||3:High-profile Tories including Michael Gove, the education secretary, and Boris Johnson, London’s mayor, are for the change, but over 100 Conservative MPs are believed to oppose it.||4:That will not put the outcome in doubt, as Labour and the Liberal Democrats support the shift, but it guarantees a continuing row.

||1:12月11日，英政府公布了详细条例——不仅允许同性伴侣结婚，也可在教堂举行婚礼。这让教会的那些老匹夫大吃一惊，使已出现分歧的保守党更是争论不断。||2:圣公会和天主教，以及英国穆斯林协会和首席拉比萨克斯勋爵（Lord Sacks）都反对这项提议，因为这和他们一男一女才能结婚的信仰相否。||3:几名高调的保守党人，包括教育大臣迈克尔·戈夫（Michael Gove）和伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson），赞成此提议，估计过百的国会议员将会反对。||4:由于工党和自由民主党都支持这项提议，所以这些反对者对结果没有什么影响，但不可避免的会引起不断的争论。

||1: In time the NU, with its 40m members, became his own power base. ||2: He reformed it, as well as removing it, in 1984, from party politics, in order to focus its energies on raising the pesantren to the level of secular schools. ||3: Though a deep believer in mysticism and the spirit world, secularism never offended him. ||4: Selamat pagi, “Good morning”, did as well for him as the believer’s assalamu alaykum; both, as he pointed out, meant “Peace be to you”. ||5: He accepted the constitution’s doctrine of pancasila—national unity and social justice with freedom of religion—as a useful creed for fissiparous Indonesia. ||6: More surprisingly, he kept on cordial terms with Suharto, despite pushing against the strongman both as the hugely popular head of the NU and, from 1998, as leader of his own non-sectarian National Awakening party.

||1:经过一段时间，有着4000万成员的伊斯兰教士联合会成了他的权力基础。||2:他改革了伊斯兰教士联合会，同时也于1984年从政党政治中移出了该组织，为了使其更好地专注于将经学院提升为普通学校。||3:尽管他是神秘主义和精神世界的忠实信徒，却从未觉得世俗主义有何不妥。||4:四拉玛巴基的“早晨好”对他来说同信徒的穆斯林的“早安”一样，如他指出的这两者都寓意着“带给你平和”。||5:他接受宪法关于“潘查拉希（五戒）”的条文——民族团结，社会公正和宗教自由——这对于四分五裂的印尼是一个有用的纲领。||6:无论是担任德高望重的伊斯兰教士联合会主席，还是自1998年以来，领导其自创的非宗教性质的民族复兴党，他与铁腕人物苏哈托针锋相对，尽管如此，他与苏哈托的关系却一贯保持融洽，这更加让人出乎意料。
