【分析】
●本句主干是my experiment... has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality。注意其谓语是一个turn sth. into sth.的结构。
●前面两个逗号之间的是时间状语。主语的修饰部分in what the Americans term “downshifting”，此处的难点是term用作动词，term A. B.把…说成…，此处的A就是放置前方的what。
【词汇】
●term n.学期，条款，术语；v.把…称为
●tired excuse老掉牙的借口
【译文】
奇怪的是，我在大约两年半的时间里完成两本小说之后，我这个被美国人称为“放慢生活节奏”的试验已经将我老掉牙的借口变成了确凿的现实。［由于本句截取，中文意思会有些断章取义］
