When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.
It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.
Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally - admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.

Scientists have known since 1952 that DNA is the basic stuff of heredity. They've known its chemical structure since 1953. They know that human DNA acts like a biological computer program some 3 billion bits long that spells out the instructions for making proteins， the basic building blocks of life.
But everything the genetic engineers have accomplished during the past half-century is just a preamble to the work that Collins and Anderson and legions of colleagues are doing now. Collins leads the Human Genome Project， a 15-year effort to draw the first detailed map of every nook and cranny and gene in human DNA. Anderson， who pioneered the first successful human gene-therapy operations， is leading the campaign to put information about DNA to use as quickly as possible in the treatment and prevention of human diseases.
What they and other researchers are plotting is nothing less than a biomedical revolution. Like Silicon Valley pirates reverse-engineering a computer chip to steal a competitor's secrets， genetic engineers are decoding life's molecular secrets and trying to use that knowledge to reverse the natural course of disease. DNA in their hands has become both a blueprint and a drug， a pharmacological substance of extraordinary potency that can treat not just symptoms or the diseases that cause them but also the imperfections in DNA that make people susceptible to a disease.
And that's just the beginning. For all the fevered work being done， however， science is still far away from the Brave New World vision of engineering a perfect human—or even a perfect tomato. Much more research is needed before gene therapy becomes commonplace， and many diseases will take decades to conquer， if they can be conquered at all.
In the short run， the most practical way to use the new technology will be in genetic screening. Doctors will be able to detect all sorts of flaws in DNA long before they can be fixed. In some cases the knowledge may lead to treatments that delay the onset of the disease or soften its effects. Someone with a genetic predisposition to heart disease， for example， could follow a low-fat diet. And if scientists determine that a vital protein is missing because the gene that was supposed to make it is defective， they might be able to give the patient an artificial version of the protein. But in other instances， almost nothing can be done to stop the ravages brought on by genetic mutations. (409 words)

The purpose of an interview is to find out if your goals and the goals of an organization are compatible.Other goals of the interview are：to answer questions successfully，obtain any additional information needed to make a decision，accent your special strengths，establish a positive relationship，show confidence，and to sell yourself.Based on these goals，place yourself in the role of the interviewer and develop anticipated questions and answers to three categories：company data，personal data，and specific job data.You also develop questions which you will ask to determine how well your career goals match the needs of the organization.These questions include both those you would ask before a job offer and those you would ask after a job offer.
Prior to the interview，acquaint yourself with the laws pertaining to job discrimination.This knowledge will enhance your chances of being considered on an equal standing with other applicants.
To develop confidence，adequately prepare for the interview.Focus on how you can best serve the organization to which you are applying.Then rehearse until the rough edges are smoothed and you sound convincing to those with whom you have practiced.
Since the interview will center on you，proper self-management process is divided into four stages：the before stage，the greeting stage，the consultation stage，and the departure stage.The before stage includes writing a confirmation letter，concentrating on appearance and nonverbal communication，developing your portfolio，anticipating questions with positive responses，and arriving early.The greeting stage includes greeting everyone courteously，using waiting-room smarts，using your time wisely，and applying proper protocol when meeting the interviewer.The consultation stage includes responsiveness and enthusiasm，knowing when to interject key points，showing sincerity，highlighting your strengths，and listening intently.The departure stage includes leaving on a positive note，expressing appreciation，expressing interest，leaving promptly，and making notes immediately after departure.
To save time and money and offer convenience to prospective employees and employers，video taping and satellite videophones may become a common method of interviewing.Being at ease in front of a camera would be important for these types of interviews.
Following the interview，write thank-you letters to each person who interviewed you and to those who helped you get the interview.When invited for a second interview，go prepared by using your notes and feedback from the interview to zero in on what the company wants.If the company doesn‘t respond in two weeks，call back or write a follow-up letter.You may get turned down.If so，try to find out why as a means of self-improvement.
Following a job offer，take a few days to consider all elements and then call or write a letter either accepting or declining the offer-—whichever is appropriate.If you accept and you are presently employed，write an effective letter of resignation，departing on a positive note.
31.The word“compatible”in the first sentence probably means____.
[A] in agreement [B] in conflict
[C] complementary [D] practicable
32.The writer advises you to familiarize yourself with the laws concerning job discrimination so that ____.
[A] you can show your prospective employer you have a wide range of knowledge
[B] you stand on equal chance of being hired with other applicants to the job
[C] you will refuse to give answers to any questions against the current laws
[D] you know how to behave within the limit of laws at the interview
33.At which stage should you emphasize your qualifications for the job?
[A] The before stage.
[B] The greeting stage.
[C] The consultation stage.
[D] The departure stage.
34.If you are given a second interview，it is most important for you to____.
[A] write a thank-you letter to each person who interviewed you last time
[B] find out exactly what the company wants of you
[C] learn from the last interview and improve yourself
[D] consider all the elements that are important for the job
35.The passage is mainly concerned with____.
[A] how to manage an interview
[B] how to apply for a job vacancy
[C] how an applicant should behave during an interview
[D] how to make your private goal compatible with those of an organization Text 4
The Wall Street Journal has continued as the world’s most credible news source and one that refused to conform to the passing prejudice and error of the journalistic herd. Naturally the Journal receives ongoing abuse from the herd for its distressing independence. Yet, rarely is the criticism straightforward but rather an assault on the conservatism of the Journal’s editorial page, which strikes conformist journalists as an insult and is the real cause of the herd’s distress. Rather the criticism focuses on the Journal’s bottom line, its sluggish share price, and rumors that the family controlling the paper, the Bancroft family, is unhappy and about to sell it.
The rumors of the Bancrofts’ unhappiness are all highly exaggerated and quickly refuted. For this proud family whose ancestor, Clarence W. Barron, purchased the Journal and with it the Dow Jones news service in 1902 conceives of its ownership as a “public trust.” That is how Roy A. Hammer, a lawyer and trustee for the entities through which the Bancrofts control the paper, described their sense of ownership. This is not so unusual. Great newspapers have always played a major role in American civic life. I said “great newspapers,” serious newspapers, the kind that put gathering news ahead of sensationalism.
Most of the truly profitable newspapers in the country today are essentially shopping circulars with some cheap journalism printed on those pages not devoted to shopping mall sales. The great newspaper chains take over local papers, fire journalists, and set out to fill their pages with still more advertisements. Well, they supply a service. They let readers know about the price, say, of chicken at the Giant or snow tires at the CVS. But fewer and fewer local newspapers supply much news and analysis. Great newspapers do, and not one that I know of makes a vast amount of money.
Great newspapers do help to set the agenda for the nation. They break stories of corruption or on other vital matters. One of the few things I find admirable about the New York Times is that its controlling family, the Sulzberger family, is not intent on squeezing every penny of profit out of its flagship paper. Thus last week when I read a long critique in the Times of the Wall Street Journal’s management for its sluggish financial performance, I discovered hypocrisy.
The hypocrisy is all the greater coming from liberals who are criticizing conservatives for their alleged devotion the “Almighty Dollar.” Profits are essential to all businesses. For one thing they are a very accurate poll of the populace’s tastes, but there are other services some corporations supply to society. Both the Journal and the Times supply—at too high a cost—information that enlightens the citizenry.
36. The journalistic herd’s distress is caused by the Wall Street Journal’s _____.
[A] credibility [B] prejudice [C] conformism [D] professionalism
37. The Bancroft family purchased the Wall Street Journal to _____.
[A] sell it for a higher price [B] promote the Dow Jones news service
[C] dominate the great newspapers chains [D] influence American civic life
38. It can be inferred from the passage that great newspapers _____ .
[A] have to engage in a form of sensationalism [B] make a bigger profit than local papers
[C] supply much news and analysis [D] refuse to accept the error of the journalistic herd
39. The author says “I discovered hypocrisy” (Last line, Paragraph 4), because _____ .
[A] the Times was involved in corruption [B] the Times was becoming profit-driven
[C] the Times was attacking the Journal [D] the Journal was in financial difficulty
40. The author seems to believe that all the newspapers should _____.
[A] maxmize the profit [B] satisfy the public’s tastes [C] provide social services [D] inform the readers at a high cost Part B

In 1959 the average American family paid $ 989 for a year’s supply of food. In 1972 the family paid $1,311. That was a price increase of nearly one –third. Every family has had this sort of experience. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But there is less agreement when reasons for the rise are being discussed. Who is really responsible?
Many blame the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, and cheese that stores offer for sale. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the farmer’s share of the $1,311 spent by the family in 1972 was $521. This was 31 percent more than the farmer had received in 1959.
But farmers claim that this increase was very small compared to the increase in their cost of living. Farmers tend to blame others for the sharp rise in food prices. They particularly blame those who process the farm products after the products leave the farm. These include truck drivers, meat packers, manufacturers of packages and other food containers, and the owners of stores where food is sold. 41) __________.
Of the $1,311 family food bill in 1972, middlement received $ 790, which was 33 percent more than they had received in 1959. It appears that the middlemen’s profit has increased more than farmer’s. But some economists claim that the middleman’s actual profit was very law. According to economists at the First National City Bank, the profit for meat packers and food stores amounted to less than one per cent. During the same period all other manufacturers were making a profit of more than 5 per cent.42) __________ .
43) __________ .
Vegetables and chicken cost more when they have been cut into pieces by someone other than the one who buys it. A family should expect to pay more when several “TV dinners” are taken home from the store. These are fully cooked meals, consisting of meat, vegetables, and sometimes desert, all arranged on a metal dish. The dish is put into the over and heated while the housewife is doing something else. Such a convenience costs money. 44) __________.
Economists remind us many modern housewives have jobs outside the home. They earn money that helps to pay the family food bills. The housewife naturally has less time and energy for cooking after a day’s work. She wants to buy many kinds of food that can be put on her family’s table easily and quickly. 45) __________ .
It appears that the answer to the question for rising prices is not a simple one. Producers, consumers, and middlemen all share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.
A) Thus, as economists point out:” Some of the basic reasons for widening food price spreads are easily traceable to the increasing use of convenience foods, which transfer much of the time and work of meal preparation from the kitchen to the food processor’s plant.”
B) They are among the “middlemen” who stand between the farmer and the people who buy and eat the food. Are middlemen the ones to blame for rising food prices?
C) “If the housewife wants all of these.” The economists say, “that is her privilege, but she must be prepared to pay for the services of the those who make her work easier.”
D) Who then is actually responsible for the size of the bill a housewife must pay before she carries the food home from the store? The economists at First National City Bank have an answer to give housewives, but many people will not like it. These economists blame the housewife herself for the jump in food prices. They say that food costs more now because women don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Women prefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market.
E) However, some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time. In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment.
F) Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it.
G) By comparison with other members of the economic system both farmers and middlemen have profited surprisingly little from the rise in food prices.Part C

Gandhi’s pacifism can be separated to some extent from his other teachings. (1)Its motive was religious, but he claimed also for it that it was a definitive technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi’s attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha, (2)the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred. It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like. Gandhi objected to “passive resistance” as a translation of Satyagraha: in Gujarati, it seems, the word means “firmness in the truth”. (3)In his early days Gandhi served as a stretcher-bearer on the British side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in the war of 1914-1918. Even after he had completely abjured violence he was honest enough to see that in war it is usually necessary to take sides. Since his whole political life centred round a struggle for national independence, he could not and,(4)indeed, he did not take the sterile and dishonest line of pretending that in every war both sides are exactly the same and it makes no difference who wins. Nor did he, like most Western pacifists, specialize in avoiding awkward questions. In relation to the late war, one question that every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer was: “What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting to war?” (5)I must say that I have never heard, from any Western pacifist, an honest answer to this question, though I have heard plenty of evasions, usually of the “you’re another” type. But it so happens that Gandhi was asked a somewhat similar question in 1938 and that his answer is on record in Mr. Louis Fischer’s Gandhi and Stalin. According to Mr. Fischer, Gandhi’s view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which “would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler’s violence.”

本文講述了英國車速監(jiān)控攝像體系擴張計劃的內(nèi)容及影響，著重闡述了這一計劃的支持者(警察和財政部門)和反對者(機動車管理機構(gòu))的觀點。
全文翻譯
一旦擴大車速監(jiān)控攝像體系，這個國家財政部每年就能從罰款中額外增加2000萬收入。機動車管理機構(gòu)警告說這種罰款可能變成對汽車征收的人頭稅，從而疏遠(yuǎn)很多駕駛者。也可能出現(xiàn)更多破壞攝像機的事件。警告出現(xiàn)的同時，《每日郵報》的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)英格蘭和威爾士的23支警力幾乎都有所行動，不是致力于部署監(jiān)控體系的擴張計劃，就是在考慮加入其中。
預(yù)計(在實施監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)后)全國范圍內(nèi)違章超速行駛的罰單數(shù)量會增加兩倍，罰金數(shù)目一年達(dá)9000萬。按照計劃，警察保留一部分罰金用以支付安裝和維修新攝像機的費用，并且保證現(xiàn)有的攝像機中總是裝有膠卷。其余的罰金將上繳財政部。財政部長們和警察都堅持認(rèn)為該計劃的目的是提高公路的安全性。他們指出八個試點地區(qū)撞車事故減少了四分之一，嚴(yán)重傷亡事故減少至一半。
但是機動車管理機構(gòu)擔(dān)心警察為了多開罰單會把攝像機裝在相對安全但行車速度較快的直行道上，還會為車速監(jiān)控攝像機設(shè)置最低合法車速標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，如把正常的每小時10英里限速提高到每小時15英里，每小時20英里限速提高到每小時26英里。這樣做會使司機盯著自己的里程計而不把精力集中到路面上，從而引發(fā)更多的交通事故。英國皇家汽車俱樂部(RAC)活動負(fù)責(zé)人休。尼科爾森說，“嚴(yán)格上說，我們對車速監(jiān)控攝像機并無意見，我們擔(dān)憂的是它們被安放的地點。如果把監(jiān)控攝像機視為(政府)聚斂財政收入的手段而不是安全設(shè)施，那么警察就可能喪失他們在駕駛者心目中的威信”。

《華爾街日報》一直以來作為世界上非?？煽康男侣勑畔碓炊嬖冢芙^順從新聞群體中出現(xiàn)的暫時的偏見和錯誤。自然，該日報因為它令人苦惱的獨立性不斷受到新聞群體的攻擊。但是這種批評很少是直截針對日報的，而是對社論版因循守舊的立場的攻擊，這種攻擊被墨守陳規(guī)者視為侮辱同時也是引起新聞群體煩惱的真正原因。更確切的說，批評的矛頭指向了日報的基本原則，它疲軟的股價以及控制日報的班克羅夫特家族不悅并即將出售它的傳聞。
有關(guān)班克羅夫特家族不悅的傳聞被極大的渲染并很快遭到了駁斥。因為其祖先克萊倫斯•巴倫于1902年收購了該日報和道瓊斯新聞服務(wù)而驕傲的班克羅夫特家族，設(shè)想自己成為“公共信任”的所有者。班克羅夫特家族控制報界的這些實體的律師兼托管人羅伊•哈默也這樣描述它們的所有權(quán)意識。這并不是什么特別罕見的事。大報紙在美國市民生活中總是發(fā)揮重要的作用。我說的是“大報紙”，是嚴(yán)肅的報紙，那一類把收集新聞看做比報道聳人聽聞的消息更大報紙。
目前，這個國家里大多數(shù)真正有利可圖的報紙基本是購物廣告，在不專門用于商業(yè)街銷售的頁面上印有一些廉價的新聞。大的報業(yè)集團接管地方報業(yè)，解雇新聞記者，然后盡力用更多的廣告填充版面。它們也提供服務(wù)：讓讀者了解“巨人”牌雞肉或者CVS的雪地防滑輪胎的價格。但是越來越少的地方報紙?zhí)峁┹^多的新聞和分析，大報紙則提供，而且在我所了解的范圍內(nèi)，沒有一家賺到大筆的錢。
大報紙確實幫助國家安排議程。它們揭露受賄或其他重大事件。我發(fā)現(xiàn)《紐約時報》令人欽佩的一點是：控制該報紙的蘇茲貝格家族沒有致力于從它的旗艦報紙中榨取每一美分的利潤。因此，上周當(dāng)我在《時報》上讀到一篇對《華爾街日報》疲軟的財政表現(xiàn)的管理的批評時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了偽善。
這種偽善更多地來自自由派批評保守派，因為他們聲稱熱愛“萬能的美金”。對于所有企業(yè)來說，利潤都是最本質(zhì)的。首先它非常準(zhǔn)確地反映了大眾的品味，但是也有一些其他的服務(wù)是需要新聞機構(gòu)提供給社會的。《日報》和《時報》都以過高的代價提供啟迪公民的信息。

總體分析
本文是一篇介紹甘地的和平主義的文章。文章先介紹了甘地的和平主義的性質(zhì)、來源、具體形式等。接著指出了甘地作為和平主義者的獨特之處：首先，他雖然反對暴力，但并不否認(rèn)戰(zhàn)爭的立場;其次，他不躲避回答棘手的問題。
本文考查的知識點：后置定語、插入語、it做形式主語的主語從句，等。
試題精解
1.[精解] 本題考核知識點：后置定語的翻譯。
該句是由but連接的兩個并列分句：前一分句是簡單句，后一分句是主從復(fù)合句。后一分句的主干是he claimed that...，其中that引導(dǎo)賓語從句。從句中形容詞短語capable of...做后置定語，修飾名詞a technique, a method。該定語可以按照漢語習(xí)慣譯為前置定語，即，“一種可以產(chǎn)生預(yù)期的政治效果的明顯的技巧和方法”;也可以采用拆譯法，譯為一個句子，增譯代詞“它”做主語。
詞匯：claim意為“宣稱，聲稱，說”;definite意為“肯定的，確定的;清楚的，明顯的”，它和technique搭配時取“明顯的”含義;desired意為“渴望的，期望的”，當(dāng)它和results/effect等詞搭配時常常譯為“預(yù)期的”。
翻譯：其動機是宗教性質(zhì)的，但他也說這是一種明顯的技巧，一種方法，它可以產(chǎn)生預(yù)期的政治效果。
2.[精解] 本題考核知識點：后置定語的翻譯和詞義的選擇。
該句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：the method... was a sort of warfare。主語the method后有兩個后置定語：一個是省略關(guān)系代詞的定語從句Gandhi proposed and practiced;另一個是過去分詞短語first evolved in...。如果把它們都譯為漢語的前置定語會很冗長，不符合漢語表達(dá)習(xí)慣。因此可把第一個定語前置，第二個定語轉(zhuǎn)譯為謂語。而真正的謂語前可加上“這”或“它”指代真正的主語。表語a sort of warfare后是一個較長的同位語a way of defeating...。其中介詞短語of...做后置定語修飾名詞a way，翻譯時應(yīng)前置。
詞匯：practice意為“練習(xí)，訓(xùn)練;經(jīng)常做;從事”等，在本句中與propose(提出)對應(yīng)譯為“付諸實踐”。evolve意為“逐漸形成;進化”，但它在本句中不能將基本含義照搬，而應(yīng)意譯為“起源于(南非)”。warfare意為“作戰(zhàn)，戰(zhàn)爭;斗爭，沖突”等，根據(jù)上下文，該詞應(yīng)增譯為“斗爭的方式(方法)”。
翻譯：這個由甘地提出并付諸實踐的方法，最早起源于南非，是一種非暴力的斗爭方式，用既不傷害對方又不會引發(fā)仇恨的手段打敗敵人。
3.[精解] 本題考核知識點：定語和狀語的翻譯
該句是and連接的并列句，其主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：Gandhi served as a... and he was prepared...。前一分句中“in his early days”和“in the Boer War”都作時間狀語，修飾謂語served，翻譯時應(yīng)放在句首?！皁n the British side”做后置定語，修飾stretcher-bearer，應(yīng)譯為前置定語，即，“英方的擔(dān)架員”。
詞匯：serve as sth.意為“(為……)工作，服務(wù)，履行義務(wù)，盡職責(zé)”;stretcher-bearer指“抬擔(dān)架者”;on sb.’s side意為“站在某人一邊，和某人觀點一致”。
翻譯：早年間，在布爾戰(zhàn)爭期間甘地曾經(jīng)為英方抬過擔(dān)架，而且在1914-1918年戰(zhàn)爭期間他又準(zhǔn)備這么做。
4.[精解] 本題考核知識點：后置定語、主語從句的翻譯。
該句的主干是he did not take the... line，介詞短語of...做后置定語修飾賓語the line。由于定語太長，應(yīng)采取拆譯法，另起一句。動名詞pretending后接有that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。該從句由兩個并列的分句組成：both sides are... and it makes...，后一分句中it為形式主語，從句who wins為真正的主語，漢語中不存在這種語法形式，因此可以直接將從句內(nèi)容譯為主語。
詞匯：line一詞的含義較多，但在本句中的含義是“態(tài)度，看法”;fruitless意為“沒有成果的，無成效的，徒然的”;pretend意為“假裝”，本句中它后面跟有從句，應(yīng)增譯為“假裝說”。
翻譯：而且也確實沒有采取毫無意義的、不誠實的態(tài)度，假裝說在所有戰(zhàn)爭中參戰(zhàn)雙方完全一樣，因而誰獲得勝利都無所謂。
5.[精解] 本題考核知識點：插入語、后置定語的翻譯
該句的主干是I must say，后面是that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。賓語從句是一個主從復(fù)合句。主句是I have never heard an honest answer，其謂語和賓語之間插入了一個狀語成分，翻譯時可放在句首或謂語之前，譯為“從任何一個西方和平主義者那里我從未聽說過”或“我從未從任何一個西方和平主義者那里聽說過”。though引導(dǎo)轉(zhuǎn)折狀語從句，其中介詞短語of...做后置定語，修飾賓語evasions，可譯為前置定語，也可另起一句。
詞匯：evasion意為“躲避，逃避;借口，托詞”，根據(jù)上下文可活譯為“躲閃之詞”、“逃避的說法”等。
翻譯：我必須說，我從未從任何一個西方和平主義者那里聽到過對該問題的誠實的答復(fù)，但是卻聽大了大量的躲閃之詞，通常都是“你是另外一回事”之類的回答。
