还记得end up 吗!!!快去翻看笔记!!!

1.end up doing sth or end up in a particular state: 表示你虽然开始没有意图，但最终做了某事或达到了某种状态

2.prospect 前景

3.promising 有希望的

4.bleak 惨淡的

5.trench warfare 堑壕战

6.inevitably 不可避免地

7.obscure 掩盖;使……模糊不清

主干识别：

We ended up convinced …最后我们确信……

切分成分：

1.that the national prospect is more promising than…

美国的前景比……更加光明

2.(省略了what) we’d felt before we started(比较状语从句)把national prospect和开始时的感受作比较

比我们开始前感觉到的

3.full of possibilities：新闻为了简介，省略的魂飞魄散;

补全：the national prospect is full of possibilities

充满着各种各样的可能

4.that the bleak trench warfare of national politics inevitably obscures(定语从句)：什么样的可能

That= possibilities

the bleak trench warfare of national politics inevitably obscures (possibilities)

那些惨淡的政治堑壕战不可避免地模糊了这些可能性。

参考译文：最后我们确信，与开始前的感觉相比，美国的前景更加光明——充满着各种各样的可能，虽然惨淡的政治堑壕战不可避免地模糊了它们。
