||1: In truth, these successes were not effortlessly achieved. ||2: Dr Maathai laboured hard all her life, never taking shortcuts, never adopting airs, never asking others to do tasks she would not do herself. ||3: And with this conscientiousness and lack of self-importance came another quality, a keen ability to empathise with others and fight their corner when she believed they were being wronged. ||4: Most of the struggles with which her life was associated were not her struggles; they were other people’s.

||1:诚然，成功背后，她付出了很多。||2:马塔伊博士一生辛勤工作，从不走捷径，已所不欲勿加于人。||3:她做事尽职尽责，从不认为自己有多了不起，同时又有路见不平拨刀相助的侠气。||4:她的一生是斗争的一生，然而其中大部分的斗争本来都和她没什么关系，她是为他人而战。

It is that sentiment that David Cameron and other senior Tories seemed to be invoking when they marked the Easter season with some firmly (but not too firmly) Christian messages. Having declared at an Easter reception that he was “proud of the fact that we are a Christian country”, the prime minister took to the Church Times, an Anglican weekly, to spell out what he did not mean. He described himself as a “rather classic” member of the Church of England, “not that regular in attendance and a bit vague on some of the more difficult parts of the faith”.|| Still, he loved old country churches, like the one his parents had laboured to restore, and welcomed the church’s role as a moral and pastoral force.||

||1:然而在卡梅伦和其他保守党高级官员给复活节打上看似坚定的基督色彩的烙印，似乎祈盼能够唤起民众狂野的宗教热忱。||2:在复活节讲话中公然宣布他“为我们作为基督徒国家而感到骄傲”之后，首相卡梅伦又在英国国教徒周刊《教会时报》上声明他并没有那个意思。||3:他将自己形容成英国国教“不胜虔诚”的一员，“但并不经常参与宗教活动，对某些较难认同的宗教信仰的态度也模棱两可。”||4:同样地，他深爱着这个古老国家的教堂-那些由他的祖祖辈辈耗时耗力修复的教堂，并希望教堂可以作为一种道德与pastoral的力量继续发挥它的功用。||
