这可能就是成功和失败的差别之一。

又到了做题的时候了，来吧！骚年们，无畏挑战！

今天的题目：

While in America the trend of downshifting started as a reaction to the economic decline — after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late '80s — and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to 

simplify our lives.

70. According to the passage, downshifting emerged in the US as a result of ________. 

　　[A] the quick pace of modern life 

　　[B] man's adventurous spirit 

　　[C] man's search for mythical experiences 

　　[D] the economic situation

A great number of graduate students were driven into the intellectual slum when 

in the United States the intellectual poor became the classic poor, the poor 

under the rather romantic guise of the Beat Generation, a real phenomenon in the late fifties.

3.Slum 贫民窟，贫民区

6.Beat Generation 垮掉的一代

切分成分+独立成句：

1.when in the United States the intellectual poor became the classic poor 状语

在美国，穷知识分子成为了典型的穷人

2.the poor under the rather（程度副词） romantic guise of the Beat Generation,

同位语

a real phenomenon in the late fifties.同位语

这是在50年代后期真实的现象

调整语序：可以采取逆序法翻译，先翻译时间再翻译主句。

（在考研的时候只要能基本翻译正确，不调整语序通常只会被扣0.5分，一定要确定自己调整的是正确的再去调整。）

参考译文：50年代晚期在美国出现了一个真实的现象，美国的穷知识分子（披上了）颇为浪漫的“垮掉的一代”的伪装，成为了典型的穷人，也就是在那时，大批的大学毕业生被赶进了知识分子的贫民窟。
