2. Passage Translation
1) If you are born into an American family ranking in the top 10 of income, chances are 1 in 3 that you’ll stay there. If you’re born into a family of bottom 1/10, however, chances are more rare that you’ll ever reach the top. So much for equality of opportunity, in America as elsewhere in the world, the rich always get richer, and the poor can hardly get by. The widening gap between the rich and the poor is everyone’s problem and everyone’s responsibility.
如果你出生在美國(guó)收入排名前十的家庭里，你的收入也排名在美國(guó)前十的概率是三分之一。如果你出生所在的家庭的收入屬于最低的十分之一，那么，你成為首富的可能微乎其微。機(jī)會(huì)是平等的，這句話雖然沒(méi)錯(cuò)，但不管是在美國(guó)還是在別的國(guó)家，富人越來(lái)越富，窮人卻難以度日。富人和窮人之間的差距越拉越大，這是關(guān)系每個(gè)人的問(wèn)題，而減小這個(gè)差距也是每個(gè)人的責(zé)任。
2) The credit card industry is only about 50 years’ old. Some credit cards have offered real convenience. Those accepting credit cards include hospitals for open-heart surgery and the federal government for income taxes. Instead of saving for a washing machine or computer, some people merely charge them. They do not realize that it may cost them more to charge than to pay cash. Because of the easy excess to credit, many Americans today are over their heads in debt.
信用卡業(yè)務(wù)已經(jīng)發(fā)展了50個(gè)年頭了。有的信用卡的確為人們提供了方便。醫(yī)院的心臟手術(shù)費(fèi)可以用信用卡支付，政府的個(gè)人所得稅也可以用信用卡繳納。如果要買洗衣機(jī)或電腦，有的人就不再存錢去買，而是使用貸款的方式購(gòu)買。他們沒(méi)有意識(shí)到貸款比用現(xiàn)金購(gòu)買實(shí)際支付了更多的錢。只因?yàn)樾庞每ǖ教幎寄苡�，現(xiàn)在許多美國(guó)人到處都欠債。

英翻中
美國(guó)人對(duì)總統(tǒng)的期望值越來(lái)越高， 高于他們的能力所及。我們認(rèn)為，總統(tǒng)治理著國(guó)家，但是實(shí)際上，總統(tǒng)在處理大部分政府事務(wù)時(shí)存在著很多困難。我們也認(rèn)為，總統(tǒng)應(yīng)對(duì)國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展負(fù)責(zé)。即使他們掌控的經(jīng)濟(jì)調(diào)節(jié)杠桿很有限。 我們希望，總司令能在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中帶領(lǐng)我們走向勝利。但是，當(dāng)我們認(rèn)為他們失去對(duì)軍事的大局控制的時(shí)候，有牢騷滿腹。我們往往認(rèn)為，總統(tǒng)是他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的國(guó)家的化身。在別的民主國(guó)家的政治體制中，很少有人同時(shí)兼任政府首領(lǐng)和國(guó)家首領(lǐng)。但是我們卻是這樣。我們政治中讓人心痛的地方來(lái)自于美國(guó)人的信念。他們認(rèn)為，無(wú)論哪個(gè)總統(tǒng)都不能真正代表他們的國(guó)家。但是當(dāng)我們回顧歷屆總統(tǒng)的時(shí)候，我們并不把他們看成某個(gè)黨派的政治家，而是看作整個(gè)國(guó)家的首領(lǐng)。他們以自己不同的方式來(lái)發(fā)展我們的實(shí)力和美德。
