||1: A hodgepodge of Marxists and other leftists allied themselves at first to the religious fundamentalists in common cause against the shah, inspiring Iranian students, in particular, to rise up against his rule. ||2: Within a few years, though, the left had lost out to Shia Islamic political groups that were, Mr Axworthy writes, “more flexible, more charismatic, more in tune with Iranian realities and less hidebound ”. ||3: Like Mr Buchan, Mr Axworthy has mined newly opened archives to good effect. ||4: He lays bare the failure of Western governments to keep abreast of fast-changing events. One British dispatch saw “no threat to basic stability” in late 1977; another asked whether Iranians were still “the epitome of idleness”. ||5: The Iranian hostage-takers were astounded to find that, of the four CIA officers in the American embassy in Tehran, none could speak Persian.

||1:那些信奉传统基督教的马克思主义者和左派人士首次联合起来，尤其还煽动学生共同抵抗伊朗王的统治。||2:Axworthy写到，在近几年里，脱离什叶派团体的左翼人士“更加灵活，有感召力，与时俱进与伊朗现实相结合”。||3: 与Mr Buchan一样，他也恰到好处地引用了最近公开的史料。 ||4:还指出了西方政府在获取重大事件方面的不足，例如1977年底英国报道认为“不会威胁到基本稳定”，另一西方媒体认为伊朗是不是在虚张声势。||5:伊朗人质劫持者惊奇地发现美国驻德黑兰大使馆的4名CIA人员不会说波斯语。

||1: INNOVATION is a word that brings to mind small, nimble startups doing clever things with cutting-edge technology. ||2: But it is also vital in large, long-established industries—and they do not come much larger or older than agriculture. ||3: Farmers can be among the most hidebound of managers, so it is no surprise that they are nervous about a new idea called prescriptive planting, which is set to disrupt their business. ||4: In essence, it is a system that tells them with great precision which seeds to plant and how to cultivate them in each patch of land. ||5: It could be the biggest change to agriculture in rich countries since genetically modified crops. And it is proving nearly as controversial, since it raises profound questions about who owns the information on which the service is based. ||6: It also plunges stick-in-the-mud farmers into an unfamiliar world of “big data” and privacy battles.

||1:说起创新，人们往往会想到那些规模较小，经营灵活的初创企业运用前沿技术来做聪明透顶的事儿。||2:不过，对于那些规模庞大，历史悠久的行业来讲，创新也是同样重要。||3:农业正是这类行业的典型。农民可谓是最顽固的管理者—也就难怪他们对规范性种植这种注定颠覆旧有业务的新概念会疑虑重重。||4:实质上，这个系统在指导农民针对不同土地种植相应作物上拥有极高精确度。||5:在那些富裕国家中，这可谓是自转基因作物之后的最大变革，但也同样充满争议，因为这其中有一个深刻的问题亟待解答：究竟谁应持有这项服务赖以生存的信息？||6:这项技术同时也迫使一向循规蹈矩的农民进入充满了“大数据”和隐私权争议的陌生世界。

||1:Congress, the BJP’s only national rival, may be hidebound and corrupt, but at least it does not set Indians at one another’s throats.||2:It has come up with an impressive manifesto, with thoughtful ideas about how to help the poorest Indians.||3:Its leader, Rahul Gandhi, although a much-derided dynast, has helped modernise the party a little, raising its profile on social media, for example.||4:It is a worthier recipient of Indians’ votes than the BJP.

||1:印度人民党唯一的全国对手国大党，可能墨守成规和腐败，但至少不会让印度人自相残杀。||2:人民党提出了一个令人印象深刻的宣言，提出了如何帮助最贫穷的印度人的深思熟虑的想法。||3:该党领袖拉胡尔?甘地虽然饱受嘲笑，但他在一定程度上推动了该党的现代化，比如提高了该党在社交媒体上的知名度。||4:它比人民党更有资格获得印度人的选票。
