For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the
80’s, down-shifting in the mid 90s is not so much a search for the mythical good
life—growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle—as personal recognition of your limitations.
词汇突破:1. Down-shifting 本来的意思是开车减档,这里指的是“生活减速,归隐恬退”
2. mythical 神话般的
3. grow 种植
4. organic vegetables 有机蔬菜
确定主干:Down-shifting (in the mid- 90s这一点点是定语) is not so much a search for the mythical good lift as a personal recognition of your limitations.
(特别说明:not so(as) much…as 这个比较结构的理解通常理解为:
与其说,不如说;例如:He was not so much angry as disappointed.(他与其说愤怒不如说失望。)
90年代中期出现的归隐恬退与其说是我们寻求一种神话般的美好生活(用有机肥种植蔬菜,并且冒险去过一种更加简单和不那么物质化的生活方式)不如说是我们清醒地认识到自身能力是有限的。
切分成分:1.For the women of my generation( who were urged to keep juggling through the 80’s定语从句) 状语;
2.growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one同位语;
独立成句: 1.The women of my generation were urged to keep juggling through the 80’s
我们这代女人曾在整个80年代为生活奔波;
2. For the women of my generation,
对于我们而言;
译文赏析:对于我这一代曾在整个80年代为生活奔波的女人来说,90年代中期出现的归隐恬退与其说是我们寻求一种神话般的美好生活(用有机肥种植蔬菜,并且冒险去过一种更加简单且不那么物质化的一种生活方式)不如说是我们清醒地认识到自身能力是有限的。
今天的句子:
However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to
deal with some of the world's more fascination and delightful aspects.
