1.The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left-all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.
【譯文】以阿斯旺大壩為例，它阻止了尼羅河洪水泛濫，但也使埃及失去了洪水沖擊過后留下的肥沃的淤泥，換回來的是這么一個(gè)巨大的'病態(tài)水庫�，F(xiàn)在這個(gè)水庫積滿了淤泥，幾乎不能發(fā)電了。
【析句】句子的主語是The Aswan Dam，謂語有兩個(gè)（stopped和deprived）。破折號(hào)后面的成分作全句的狀語，其中all應(yīng)該理解為"所有這一切"，即指阻止尼羅河泛濫并使埃及失去肥沃的淤泥。許多人把a(bǔ) giant reservoir of disease譯成"疾病滋生的水庫"，這是不對(duì)的，實(shí)際上是指大壩淤泥太多，因而可以譯成"病態(tài)的水庫"。
【講詞】deprive意為"剝奪；使喪失"。The court ruling deprived us of any share in the inheritance.（法庭裁決剝奪了我們?nèi)康睦^承權(quán)。）They were deprived of a normal childhood by the war.（由于戰(zhàn)爭，他們失去了一個(gè)正常的童年時(shí)代。）in return of意為"換取......"。I really do not know what to do in return of your kindness.（對(duì)于你的善意，我真的不知道何以回報(bào)。）
2.This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube.
【譯文】本周，在文明歐洲的腹地，為了多瑙河上一處水壩所引起的爭端，斯洛伐克人和匈牙利人差點(diǎn)動(dòng)用軍隊(duì)。
【析句】句子的結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡單，但是句中的詞組（stopped just short of）可能會(huì)影響理解。另外，有些同學(xué)可能不大清楚contention和the Danube的含義。
【講詞】short of意為"缺乏；達(dá)不到；除......以外；差一點(diǎn)"。We're short of money.（我們現(xiàn)在資金不足。）Nothing short of her best effort was required tomake the team.（要組成一個(gè)隊(duì)她必須全力以赴。）Short of yelling at him, I had no other way to catch his attention.（除了大聲向他喊叫，我真想不出還有什么辦法能引起他的注意。）She stopped short of throwing out the old photo.（她差點(diǎn)要把舊照片扔掉了。）contention"爭奪，競爭"。The rebellion against the Qin dynasty is thedirect cause of the Chu睭an Contention.（反抗秦朝的斗爭是楚漢相爭的直接原因。）
