…I had no appeal whatever against either his menaces or his inflictions

…不管是受了他的恫吓，还是受了他的折磨，我都无处申诉。

You will find "youngsters" and "schoolboys" and "schoolgirls", but you will not find teenagers as a group, treated as though they were something between menaces and the hope of the world, a class by themselves, a threat to adult sanity

你找到的是“小青年”“男学生”和“女学生”，而不是作为一个集体的“青少年”这个词,现在青少年被当作是既对世界有威胁又是世界的希望这两者之间的一个集团，他们自成一个阶级，对成人的健康可能起危害作用。

Who menaces whom ?

谁威胁谁?

||1:As for anti-wolf types, when offered financial compensation for wolf-attacks on their livestock, some turn it down—suggesting that more than economics is at stake.||2:Dig a bit, and a culture war is raging between the “old West” of rugged ranchers and hunters, who once earned respect and status by taming nature, but who now find themselves called environmental menaces by “new West” incomers with big-city ideas about animal rights and natural ecosystems.||3:Behind that local clash—pitting folk with gun racks on their trucks against those with bike racks, as Mr Farrell puts it—there lurks a still larger suspicion of the federal government.||4:Many “old West” types see a plot to drive ranchers from the land.||5:They talk of “federal wolves” undermining their property rights, and challenging the God-ordained duty of humans to protect their own families, and exercise dominion over Creation.

||1:对于反对引入狼群的人来说，当向他们提供狼群袭击家畜的财政补贴时，有些人拒绝了，并建议说处于险境的并不只是他们的经济。||2:更深入一点，在“老西部”的坚毅农场主与猎人中正在发生着一场激烈的文化战争，他们曾经因为驯化制服自然而获得尊敬与地位，但如今却发现自己被持有动物权利与自然生态等大都市思想的“新西部”移民们叫做环境威胁。||3:在当地的冲突中，武装居民把枪架在卡车上，与另一队把枪架在自行车上的居民对峙，正如法雷尔提出的那样，那里隐藏着对联邦政府更大的猜疑。||4:许多“老西部”居民都能看出一场要把农场主赶出这片土地的阴谋。||5:他们说“联邦狼”暗中破坏了他们的财产权，挑战了上帝规定的人类要保护自己家庭的责任，而且滥用了上帝的造物权。

||1:Other parents fret about thimerosal, a preservative that contains trace amounts of mercury.||2:Not only were these amounts minute and safe, but thimerasol has now been eliminated from all vaccines, with the exception of multi-dose flu shots.||3:Often these parental conversations then turn into new-agey free-for-alls, where vaccines somehow join the list of conventionally grown avocados and unfiltered tap water as lethal menaces .

||1:还有些父母对含有少量汞的防腐物质硫柳汞心存忧虑。||2:其实它在疫苗中的含量极少，对人体是安全的，现在，疫苗都不再含这种物质——多次使用的流感疫苗除外。||3:父母们对孩子的这些关切常常成为所有人可以免费获得的新异类，疫苗不知怎么就像常见的成熟鳄梨或未经过滤的自来水一样成了威胁性命的玩艺。

||1:As the former colonial power in the region, and a target of jihadist menaces , France feels the danger more acutely than others.||2:And the fact is that, among Europeans, only the French and the British have the will and wherewithal to fight abroad at short notice.||3:The French never wanted a front-line role.||4:Instead they had hoped to send a small contingent of French experts wrapped in a European training mission, inside a multinational West African force—all enveloped in a political strategy to promote the return to democracy in southern Mali and reconciliation with some rebels in the north and sealed with a UN mandate.||5:It was the jihadists’ pre-emptive assault on the south that forced the French to abandon the indirect approach.

||1:由于马里原为法属殖民地，并存在伊斯兰圣战教徒的威胁，这让法国对马里冲突之担忧超乎其他各国。||2:事实上，欧洲各国中，唯独英法两国具备短时间出兵海外的意向与资金。||3:而法国却从不希望打头阵。||4:相反，法国本希望以欧洲培训团的名义派遣一小批法国专家，加入包含各国成员的西非（West African）军中。该行动囊括于“对南恢复民主、对北绥靖叛军”的马里政治方针之下，并已得到联合国授权。||5:但伊斯兰教徒抢先袭击了马里南部，这让法国不得不放弃原先的间接援助政策。
