英译汉（1）A tangle of anxieties
ACCORDING to market lore January is a good month. As bourses open to greet the new year, investors funnel in new cash and share prices rise, creating a “January effect” which the savvy try to surf. But punters seeking a quick buck have been disappointed this year, with the main stockmarket indices in the G7 economies all down (see chart 1, below). Many have had their worst January since 2008. It is not just share prices that are tumbling; oil, gas and metals are falling too.
There are many reasons for the rout, but the predominant one in recent days is a fear that the world economy, already feeble, is slowing yet more.
On January 13th the World Bank cut its prediction for global growth in 2015 from 3.4% to 3%. As in 2010, there are worries about a Greek exit from the euro zone (see article). But five years ago Germany’s economy was expanding at close to 4%, and Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRICs) boasted an average growth rate of 9%. That vigour has gone. In 2014 the German economy grew by just 1.5% and the BRICs have slowed to little over 5%.
Ominously, even hitherto strong economies are showing signs of weakness. In Britain business investment, previously a contributor to growth, is waning. In America retail sales for December were down 0.9% on the previous month, suggesting American consumers may be pulling in their horns.




英译汉（2）Despite its extraordinary achievements in art,science,intellectual,moral and political life,the United States is a nation in which tens of thousands of young people flee reality by opting for drug-induced lassitude,a nation in which millions of their parents retreat into video-induced stupor or alcoholic hazes a nation in which legions of elderly folk vegetate and die in loneliness,in which the flight from family and occupational responsibility has become an exodus,in which masses tame their raging anxieties with Miltown,or Librium,or Equanil,or a score of other tranquilizers and psychic pacifiers.Such a nation,whether it knows it or not,is suffering from future shock.


英译汉还有一篇关于本杰明富兰克林的简介的，暂时没找到原文……


汉译英：武汉过早（腾讯大楚网新闻）

说起武汉，人们第一反应通常是黄鹤楼，第二印象恐怕就是武汉的过早了。人们常说“广东的吃，上海的穿，又吃又穿在武汉”，足见武汉美食全国文明。在众多武汉美食中，又数武汉的“过早”最让人津津乐道。
 “过早”是武汉人吃早餐的俗称，这一词眼最早出现在清代道光年间《汉口竹枝词》中。时至今日，在武汉，没人会说“吃早餐”，只会说“过早”。顾名思义，过早大抵是简单方便，用餐时间短暂，匆匆而过的意思－－武汉的任何一份过早从做好到吃完，最多不超过十五分钟时间，这还是在匀速状况下进行。有许多武汉人都习惯边走边吃——这在全国各地，也是一景。 
武汉的过早，可谓是“海纳百川，有容乃大”，南北早点菜式在武汉集聚，又被聪明而好吃的武汉人发展出更加花式的吃饭。油条、面窝、烧梅、汤包、豆皮、热干面，牛肉线粉、炸酱面、豆丝、水饺、汤圆、拉面、打卤面、包子、馒头、花卷……各式各样的早点，加上武汉人充满创意的早点搭配，形成了武汉“过早”独特的魅力。
