新闻例句:There has long been fear that the imposition of direct rule would lead to a sustained campaign of opposition to Madrid. But open defiance by Catalan ministers and possibly institutions could put Spanish authorities in a difficult spot. They will have to work out how to enforce their own orders without resorting to force, which could inflame region further.人们一直担心,强制实施直接统治将导致一场持续的针对西班牙政府的反对运动。但加泰罗尼亚一些部长和机构的公然反抗或许会让西班牙当局陷入困境。他们将不得不设法在不诉诸武力的前提下,执行自身的指令,否则将会进一步激化加泰罗尼亚地区的紧张局势。——来源:《Spain faces test of authority in Catalonia under direct rule/西班牙“直辖”加泰罗尼亚面临阻力》

新闻例句:
The shine has come off India’s growth. Most countries would crave a growth rate as high as 5.7 per cent, but this is a setback for a country that recently boasted of growth rates higher than China’s. The slowdown exposes underlying fragilities that no triumphalist talk could conceal. What lessons the government takes from this, and how it responds, will determine the contours of the economy and its growth prospects for a long time.印度的经济增长失去了光辉。像5.7%这样高的增长率,多数国家都会求之不得,但对一个最近夸口经济增速超过中国的国家来说,这是一种倒退。经济增长放缓,暴露出任何必胜言论都无法掩盖的深层脆弱。印度政府能从中汲取何种教训以及它会如何回应,将决定该国的经济状况和长期增长前景。——来源:《Serious economic reform is key to unlocking India’s potential/印度经济如何重新提速?》

新闻例句:Perfectionism is everywhere in Tokyo, from docile commuters lining up precisely to board subways, to the immaculately groomed trees in the gardens of the Imperial Palace. Shinzo Abe’s re-election on Sunday as prime minister gives him a mandate for constitutional change, but it was also a vote from Japan’s conservative society for political continuity and order.完美主义体现在东京的方方面面,从地铁站台上乖乖排成整齐队列的通勤族,到日本皇居花园里修剪得一丝不苟的树木。安倍晋三不久前成功连任日本首相,这让他获得修改宪法的权力,但这同样也体现了保守的日本社会对政治持续性和秩序的支持。——来源:《Kobe Steel scandals reveal Japan’s perfect storm/神户制钢丑闻暴露“完美主义”的不完美》
