追踪根源[细节]

||1: EVEN people who don’t normally care much for football tune in to the Super Bowl to watch the best commercials Madison Avenue can dream up. ||2: The most talked about this year was Chrysler’s gritty tribute to the economic revival of America and Detroit. ||3: More short film than commercial, it ends with the actor Clint Eastwood huskily declaring that “Our second half is about to begin.”

||1:超级碗开始时，就连平时不关注橄榄球的人们也纷纷转台，观看比赛间隙美国广告界独运匠心的作品。||2:今年，克莱斯勒汽车公司的广告让观众津津乐道，特别是广告中向美国及汽车之城底特律的经济复苏致以的崇高敬意。||3:与其称之为广告，倒不如将它归为一部微电影。最后，它以演员克林特伊斯特伍德沙哑磁性的声音结尾：“我们的下半场马上拉开帷幕。”

||1:Jul 27th 2013 | Berlin |From the print editionCOMMERZBANK’S marketing materials show a woman running in a grey, hooded jumper, headphones in her ears.||2:Her eyes are locked on the path ahead in determination to finish her workout.||3:This is probably meant to flatter the bank’s customers as gritty and hard-working.||4:But it is a better metaphor for the bank itself.||5:It is on a long, hard road back to health, a journey that exemplifies the painful reshaping of Europe’s troubled banking system to be smaller, safer and more domestic.

||1:德国商业银行的营销材料上画着一名女子，身穿灰色衣服跑步，带着连衣帽，耳朵里塞着耳机。||2:眼神坚毅，死死盯着前方的路，志在完成自己的锻炼计划。||3:这可能是在讨好自己的客户，暗指他们都是坚韧不拔，工作勤奋。||4:但是这个隐喻或许更贴合银行自身的实际。||5:德国商业银行离回到良性发展还有很长的路。这是欧洲陷入危机的银行体系转向更小，更安全和更本土化的痛苦转型的很好的例证。

||1:The FCC has long barred profanity and nudity during waking hours, although it used to take a laxer attitude towards isolated incidents.||2:The Supreme Court upheld its rules in 1978, despite their impingement on free speech, on the basis of a law banning smut on the radio.||3:But the broadcasters complain that the FCC’s drive for decency is inconsistent, unnecessary and increasingly quixotic.||4:Why, they ask, should swearing be permissible in some circumstances (broadcasts of “Saving Private Ryan”, a gritty war film) but not in others (awards shows populated by foul-mouthed celebrities)? Is it really necessary to protect the public from swear words, when viewers can so easily vote with their remotes? Above all, while the court allowed the airwaves to be policed in 1978 because they were a scarce, publicly owned resource, does that still make sense in an era of cable, satellite and YouTube? After all, some 85% of households in America now subscribe to some sort of pay television, and almost 70% have broadband and thus face constant exposure to cursing and smut.

||1:美国联邦通信委员会长久以来一直禁止在清醒的时候说脏话和裸露身体，虽然它过去经常对偶发性事件抱有宽容的态度。||2:最高法院在1978年根据一部禁止广播中出现淫秽内容的法律，表示支持该委员会的禁令，尽管这些禁令侵犯了言论自由。||3:但是广播公司抱怨称委员会对体面的追求前后矛盾，多余而且越来越不切实际。||4:为什么，他们质疑到，粗口在某些情况下（如《拯救大兵瑞恩》，一部坚毅的战争片）是被允许的，但在其他场合（多由满嘴脏话的名流参加的颁奖晚会）上是不被允许的？在观众有权利选择想看的频道的情况下，真的有这个必要使公众免受粗口的干扰么？尤其是，法院在1978年决定电视广播需要接受监管时，是因为他们是一种稀缺的，公有的资源，而如今在这种有线电视，卫星和YouTube充斥的时代，这些监管还有必要么？毕竟，美国大约85%的家庭现在都订阅了某种方式的付费电视；几乎70%的家庭拥有宽带，从而不断的接触粗口和淫秽内容。

||1: Yet, judging by the near-unanimous critical approval, “Adele” has married both political importance and artistic merit. ||2: Libération called it “dazzling”, a “film that floated above all the others”. ||3: Le Monde described it as “an emotional, erotic shock”. Variety labelled it “a searingly intimate character study”. ||4: Better known for his gritty but charming dramas set in heavily immigrant France (“L’Esquive”, “La Graine et le Mulet”), Mr Kechiche’s latest film is also in many ways a product of the French mainstream: a risqué movie, shot in close-up, celebrating independence and passion, starring two white leading actresses, and with minorities as mere extras. ||5: For all his north African sensibility, Mr Kechiche now looks every bit a part of the French film-making establishment.

||1:然而，从一致的评论中可以看出，《阿黛尔的生活》是政治因素和艺术价值的结合体。||2:法国《解放报》称其“乱花渐欲迷人眼。”，是“一部领先的电影”。||3:《世界报》将电影描述为“情感丰富，充满情欲”。《综艺》给它贴上了“炽热的亲密关系研究”的标签。||4:导演柯西胥更多的是知名于他那些描述法国移民的坚毅、颇具魅力的电影（《躲闪》、《谷子和鲻鱼》），而他的新作品在很多方面也都紧贴潮流：淫秽电影、近景拍摄、欢庆独立与激情、两名白人女主角而民族仅作为附加部分。||5:他对于北非的感受力，让现在的他成为了法国电影史成就的一部分。

||1:Ready, steady, snowTHE city of Chicago is proud of its ability to keep going, with gritty determination, through the worst of the nation’s weather.||2:Snow that would bring London or Washington, DC, to a halt is laughed off as little more than a light dusting.||3:This year some are expecting particularly bad weather, a test for the new mayor, Rahm Emanuel.||4:He must keep the city moving throughout the winter, or face the wrath of the locals.

||1:芝加哥市以坚毅的决心使整个城市即使在这个国家最恶劣的天气下也能保持正常运转，芝加哥人以此为傲。||2:那些能让伦敦或华盛顿瘫痪的暴雪在芝加哥人眼里就像一层薄灰。||3:而今年，一些人还特别希望会出现坏天气，因为这是对新市长拉姆?伊曼纽尔的考验。||4:他必须使这座城市撑过冬天，要不然就要忍受到市民的怒气。
