1.In Europe, the Romans started calling people by their given name and family name in Latin from 300 BC, but it wasn't common practice throughout Europe until the 10th or 11th century, when first, the lords and gentry, then middle-class citizens, and finally everyone used surnames. The necessity for surnames arose when the population began to grow. Suddenly there was more than one person with the same name in a village, so surnames were used. Generally, these surnames were not handed down to the next generation, but after the fall of the Roman Empire, Ireland was one of the first countries to adopt hereditary surnames, and Irish surnames are found as early as the10th century.

在欧洲，罗马人从公元前300年起就用拉丁文的姓和名来称呼别人，但是一直到公元10或者11世纪，这种做法才在整个欧洲流行起来，最先是在贵族阶层中间，然后是城市的中产阶级，到最后所有人都开始使用姓氏。因为随着人口的增长，姓氏就显得越来越有必要了。忽然间，在一个村子里出现了两个同名的人，所以人们就开始用姓氏来区分他们。一般来说，这些姓氏不会传给下一代，但在罗马帝国灭亡后，爱尔兰成了最早使用世袭姓氏的欧洲国家之一，而且爱尔兰姓氏早在公元10世纪就出现了。

2. To make matters more complicated, a survey out last week suggests teenagers are

a lot more conservative than we might think. They're in favour of the monarchy, long prison sentences and patriotism, so this would lead us to believe they'd be against having silly names such as Rawlplug.

But my oldest daughter disagrees. On a really, really drunken night, my wife and I seriously thought about calling her Boadicea, but the following day over the Nurofen we went for Emily. And now she's livid about it, riding around the garden with knives on her bicycle wheels, saying we were dull and unimaginative.

让问题变得更复杂的是上周进行的一个调查，其结果表明现在的青少年比我们想象中的要保守得多。他们支持君主制，赞成长期监禁，充满了爱国主义情愫，这就让我们相信他们肯定会抵制像“罗威套管”这样的傻名字。

但是我的大女儿可不这么认为。记得有一天晚上，我和老婆喝得酩酊大醉，我们重其事地想给她取名博阿迪西亚，但是第二天吃了片布洛芬（注：一种止疼药），头脑清醒之后，我们选择了埃米莉这个名字。现在她正大发雷霆，对这个名字非常不满，她给自行车轮绑上刀子，骑着它在花园里转悠，说我们无趣，毫无想象力。

1. 先前的一些调查表明，在这个国家的政治选举中种族曾经是最为重要的因素，因为这是一个由多个种族、多个民族组成的国家。随后，大量移民的涌入使得情况更为复杂。候选人不得不把信仰、文化等问题考虑进来。(comprise of; substantial; complicate)

According to some prior surveys, race used to be the most important factor in political elections of this country, as the population is comprised of multi-races and multi-ethnics. However, a substantial number of immigrants complicated the situation. Candidates are obliged to take the issues of faith and cultures into consideration.

2. 所有对政治感兴趣的、才华出众的年轻人都梦想着有朝一日成为伟大的政治领袖，对世界有积极的影响，让世界变得更美好。但是可悲的是，他们中的许多人在实现自己的梦想之后，只关心维护自己的权力地位而不是想着服务人民。更糟的是，有的时候他们会滥用他们的权力来满足自己的贪欲，而让国家和人民的利益受损。(aspire; have impact on; maintain)

All talented young men who are interested in politics aspire to become great political leaders some day, to have impact on the world in a positive way and make it a better place. But sadly, many of them, after realizing their dreams, will only be concerned with maintaining their power and status instead of serving people. What is worse, sometimes they will abuse power to satisfy their greed at the expense of the country and people.

1.True story? Probably not. It's a classic example of what's called in many languages an urban myth. An urban myth is a story you hear by word of mouth. It usually describes something which might have happened, an apocryphal, second-hand story told as if it were true, just about plausible enough to be credible, about some event which has supposedly happened to a real person. Factual or not, it's likely to rely on expert storytelling and on a trustworthy source, such as "It happened to my brother's friend's mother."

这是真事吗？很可能不是。这是在很多语言中被称为都市神话的一个典型例子。都市神话是你通过口口相传听来的故事，讲述的是一些可能发生过的事情，一个杜撰的，从别处听来的故事，却被当作真事来讲，听起来像真的似的。不论是真是假，都市神话依赖的是讲故事的技巧以及来源的可靠性，比如“这件事发生在我弟弟的朋友的母亲的身上。”

2.He stooped down to drink, and saw his own image in the water; he thought it was some beautiful water-spirit living in the fountain. He stood gazing with admiration at those bright eyes, these locks curled like the locks of Bacchus or Apollo, the rounded cheeks, the ivory neck, the parted lips and the glow of health and exercise over all. He fell in love with himself. He brought his lips near to take a kiss; he plunged his arms in to embrace the beloved object. It fled at the touch, but returned again after a moment and renewed the fascination. He could not tear himself away; he lost all thought of food or rest, while he hovered over the brink of the fountain gazing upon his own image.

正当他俯身饮泉水时，他看见了水中自己的倒影，却以为那是一个住在水中的美精灵。他满怀爱意地注视着水中那双明亮的眼眸，那像巴克斯和阿波罗一样卷曲的秀发，圆润的面颊，象牙般的雪白脖颈，微启的双唇，还有全身散发出的健康与活力。他爱上了自己，俯身去吻水中的影子；他把双手伸入水中去拥抱这个心爱之物。那影子一碰就立刻消失得无影无踪，但过一会又出现了，再一次让他心驰神迷。他不舍得离开，茶饭不思，徘徊在泉边凝视着自己的倒影。

1.在这本书中，他试图找出一个合理的解释，来说明为什么这个古老的仪式不仅没有被现代文明所消灭，反而得以在全国传播。他的结论是，作为一个可以追溯到公元五世纪的传统，它绝对不仅仅是一个可以被轻易抛弃的仪式，它象征着人类在宇宙中努力寻找和谐，以满足他们在一个混乱的世界中获得心灵宁静的欲望

In this book he attempted to give a plausible reason to explain why this ancient

ritual, instead of being wiped out by modern civilization, is spreading out through the whole country. His conclusion is that as a tradition that can be traced back to the 5th century, it is more than just a ritual that can be easily disposed of; it symbolizes the human effort to find harmony in the universe and thus satisfies people's need to achieve peace of mind in a chaotic world.
