||1:The awkward truth is that the Spanish government is not alone in flunking hard choices.The plight of Spain and the danger of its sickness spreading to Italy call for a decisive countermove by Germany and the ECB.||2:One being discussed would be to give the ESM a banking licence, which would magnify its resources by allowing it to borrow from the central bank.||3:The graver the euro crisis gets, the bigger the response has to be—and the harder it is to sell to sceptical northern electorates.

||1:令人尴尬的事实是，西班牙政府并不是唯一一个在艰难抉择中不及格的政府，西班牙的困境及病情已扩散到意大利，这就需要德国和欧洲中央银行采取果断应对措施。||2:已经讨论过的措施之一是给欧洲稳定机制发一个银行执照，允许它从中央银行贷款，从而扩大其资源。||3:欧元危机一旦变得更加严重，所需做出的回应也更大—— 想要说服持怀疑态度的北欧选民也就更加困难。

||1:Amused—not outraged.||2:It would have been absurd not to cover a soon-to-be president because his name is naughty in Urdu.||3:Yet another complaint about a verbal coincidence, involving the trace of a graver kind of obscenity, recently had serious consequences at the business school of the University of Southern California (USC).||4:Greg Patton, who teaches communication, was describing how repeating “erm, erm” can undermine a speaker’s effectiveness.||5:He noted that other languages have similar pause-fillers; Chinese people, he mentioned, use the equivalent of “that, that, that”, or in Mandarin, “nei ge, nei ge, nei ge”.

||1:他们是觉得很好笑，而并不是被激怒了。||2:如果仅仅是因为一位即将上任的总统的名字在乌尔都语中有下流的意味，就不加以报道的话，那也太荒谬了。||3:但是，最近发生了另外一起有关发音巧合的投诉事件，这次的事件涉及到的猥亵程度更深，而且在南加州大学商学院造成了严重的后果。||4:格雷格·巴顿是教授传播学的老师，他在课堂上描述重复使用“呃，呃”是如何削弱说话者的有效性的。||5:他指出，其他语言也有类似的填充词。他提到，中国人会相应地使用“那个，那个，那个”，用普通话说就是“内个，内个，内个”。

||1: The question is why the federal government is doing this. ||2: On the one hand there is a federal law, the Controlled Substances Act, which recognises no exception for medical marijuana and thus considers all use and trade of it criminal. ||3: But on the other hand the Obama administration originally signalled that it would not deliberately clash with the states about weed. ||4: In the so-called Ogden memo of 2009, the Justice Department advised its lawyers to leave small-beer marijuana enforcement to the states and focus on graver crimes.

||1:为什么联邦政府会采取这样的行动？||2:一方面，联邦法律《药物控制条例》将药用大麻列为监管项目，进而认定所有使用和买卖大麻行为违法。||3:但另一方面奥巴马政府原先表示不会有意在大麻问题上与各州不合。||4:在2009年所谓的奥格登备忘录中，司法部建议其法官们专注于更严重的犯罪，而将微不足道的大麻执法交与各州去执行。

最近在巴塞罗那的一个案例表明了语言的力量。五名男子轮奸了一名失去知觉的14岁女孩，他们仅仅被判为“sexual abuse 性虐待”，而不是更严重的“sexual assault 性侵犯”，因为从技术上讲，他们没有使用法律所述的暴力或恐吓。
