: : 谢谢热心的大家~
: the bold policy declaration with which the statute opens
: => the statute opens with the bold policy declaration
: 也就是说the statute开头宣告了一段 bold policy declaration
: 所以是...than the bold policy declaration might otherwise have indicated
: 而might otherwise have indicated则是意指这段宣言指出跟前面所提到
: "congressional commitment to cross-sectional ideal was more qualified"不同(或
: 相反)的情况 例如 congressional commitment to cross-sectional ideal was less
: qualified or something else would be more qualified...(因为没有更多的上下文所
: 以不知道这个宣言指出什麽)
: 所以你的翻译我会修正为:
: 立法历程显示国会致力於cross-sectional ideal,相较此法条开头阐述的大胆政策宣言所
: 另指之情形而言更为qualified(?)
: 翻译得没有很好 但我已尽力表达我对这句子的解读了 希望不会太复杂orz
: 另外cross-sectional ideal是说a concept of producing a jury that best represents
: the commuity 所以你可以斟酌应该怎翻成中文才好
: 以上供你参考 欢迎指教
补充一下lintz大的解释
legislative history = 立法历程 ok
congressional commitment to X = 国会对 X 的支持
cross-sectional ideal 没有 context 翻不出来
qualified 在此指「保守」
bold policy declaration = 大胆的政策宣言
This legislative history shows that congressional commitment to the
cross-sectional ideal was more qualified than the bold policy declaration
with which the statute opens might otherwise have indicated.
This legislative history shows = 从立法历程来看
congressional commitment to the cross-sectional ideal was [more] qualified =
国会对 cross-sectional ideal 持保守支持态度 (重点在 qualified = 保守)
more...than 是比较词,比较的是 qualified commitment vs. bold declaration
the bold policy declaration with which the statute opens = 法案开头的大胆宣言
整句:
立法历程显示,国会对 cross-sectional ideal 的支持程度,其实并不像该法案起头
的宣言一样大胆,反而较为保守。
或者:
相较该法案起头的大胆宣言,立法历程显示国会对 cross-sectional ideal 的支持
程度其实是较保守的。
文笔请原po自己修~
