   1. Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem oldfashioned to most Englishspeakers.

【译文】 俄罗斯人深爱自己的语言,并在脑海中存储了大量诗歌;而意大利的政客们往往精心准备演讲,即使这在大多数讲英语的人眼里已经过时。
【析句】 句子本身并不难,它是一个由连接词while所组成的并列句。句子的难点可能是tend to elaborate speech that would seem oldfashioned to most English speakers。speech是指说话的方式,elaborate speech指说话比较繁琐,因此会让大多数讲英语的人听起来觉得oldfashioned。简言之,意大利的政治家说话太文乎,有咬文嚼字之嫌。
【讲词】 elaborate与labor是同根词,它可以是形容词(表示“精心制作的,详细阐述的”),也可以是动词(表示“精心制作,详细阐述”)。After two weeks,they came up with an elaborate plan.(经过两个星期的准备,他们拿出了一份详细的计划。)There is no need for you to elaborate on the facts.(你没有必要详尽说明事实。)
   2. A century ago,Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s,neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise”— the random byproducts of the neuralrepair work that goes on during sleep.

【译文】 一个世纪前,弗洛伊德完成了其革命性的理论,认为梦掩饰我们潜意识中的欲望和恐惧;到了20世纪70年代末期,神经病学家们转而认为梦只是“精神噪音”,即梦是睡眠时神经修复工作的一种随机副产品。
【析句】 本句以分号分为两部分,前一部分的主干是Freud formulated his revolutionary theory,宾语theory后接一个that引导的同位语从句,说明theory的内容;在第二部分中,代词them指代dreams,破折号后面的部分进一步解释什么是 mental noise,而定语从句that goes on during sleep修饰work。
【讲词】 formulate在这里表示“制定,规划”,同义词有:device,make,frame, invent等。formulate较正式,使用时要注意场合。
disguise与hide近义。The child could hardly disguise his interest in the book.(小孩难以掩饰对那本书的兴趣。)但是disguise强调“掩盖,伪装”:a blessing in disguise(假意的祝福)。
His repeated references to his dangerous hobbies were only a disguise to cover up his insecurity.(他不时提起他喜欢冒险的嗜好,充其量只是为了掩饰他的不安全感。)
random的一个流行的用法是表示“随机”:random selection(随机选择)。
