【我的漫漫考研路】英语·文章翻译第一波

第一篇

But Mendelssohn‘s enduring popularity has often been at odds — sometimes quite sharply — with his critical standing

但门德尔松的持久声望常常与他的评论界的声望形成鲜明对比

---

Despite general acknowledgment of his genius, there has been a noticeable reluctance to rank him with, say, Schumann or Brahms

尽管人们普遍承认他的天才，但人们（评论家）还是很不愿意把他与舒曼或勃拉姆斯并列

---

As Haggin put it, Mendelssohn, as a composer, was a ―minor master . . . working on a small scale of emotion and texture.

正如Haggin说，门德尔松，作为一个作曲家，只是一个―小大师。..专注工作在一个小规模的情绪和质感内

第二篇

The age at which young children begin to make moral discriminations about harmful actions committed against themselves or others has been the focus of recent research into the moral development of children

从什么年龄开始，孩子会形成伤害自己或他人的行为的道德辨别力成为了最近的儿童道德发展研究的重点关注话题。

Piaget in his hypothesis that because of their immaturity, children under age seven do not take into account the intentions of a person committing accidental or deliberate harm, but rather simply assign punishment for transgressions on the basis of the magnitude of the negative consequences caused。

皮亚杰在他的假设中说，因为小孩子的不成熟，七岁以下的儿童不会被考虑进意外的或者蓄意的人身伤害犯罪中去，而只是在他们犯罪所造成的消极后果的大小的基础上指派一定的惩罚

---

Both of these findings seem to indicate that children, at an earlier age than Piaget claimed, advance into the second stage of moral development, moral autonomy, in which they accept social rules but view them as more arbitrary than do children in the first stage.

这两个研究结果似乎表明，儿童比皮亚杰宣称的时间更早进入道德发展的第二个阶段，即他们开始道德自主，接受社会规则，但看待他们比第一阶段的孩子更加随意。

---

Studies indicate that justifications excusing harmful actions might include public duty, self-defense, and provocation

研究显示，宽恕伤人行为的正当辩护有：公共责任，自卫，挑衅

---

Thus, a child of five begins to understand that certain harmful actions, though intentional, can be justified; the constraints of moral absolutism no longer solely guide their judgments.

因此，一个五岁的孩子会开始理解某些行为是伤人的，即使这些行为就算是有意的也有正当的辩护理由；道德绝对主义对他们的约束也不再是他们判断判断的唯一指引。

正文之后

这是我写GRE的阅读之后自己写的难句分析，不得不说，单词大部分看的懂，懂得比考研英语还多，但是一旦连起来，根本不是一个级别的存在！害怕！
