During the Middle Ages, unicorns represented purity; in many paintings and tapestries, they were paired with virgins. In Silicon Valley, unicorn famously signifies a particularly valuable start-up. Germany’s unicorn craze seems to evoke something more basic. In a country that prides itself on its orderliness and rationality, the fanciful creature represents a means of escape.
思考题：
The meaning of unicorn in Germany now evolves from the meaning of the Middle Ages.
第一句：
During the Middle Ages, unicorns represented purity; in many paintings and tapestries, they were paired with virgins.
词汇突破：
1.the Middle Ages：
2.unicorn：独角兽
3.purity：纯洁
4.tapestries：挂毯
5.paired with：和…配对；放在一起；
6. virgin 处女
参考译文：在中世纪，独角兽代表纯洁；在许多绘画和挂毯中，他们与处女配对。
第二句：
In Silicon Valley, unicorn famously signifies a particularly valuable start-up.
词汇突破：
Silicon Valley：硅谷
Signify: 象征
start-up：初创型公司
参考译文：在硅谷，总所周知，独角兽象征着特别有价值的初创企业。
（在中国也是，最近比较火的就是独角兽企业。估值已经达到10亿美金以上，而且还没有上市的公司就被称之为独角兽企业。）
第三句：
Germany’s unicorn craze seems to evoke something more basic.
词汇突破：
1.Germany’s unicorn craze：德国对于独角兽的狂热
2.Evoke：激起了
参考译文：德国的独角兽热潮似乎唤起了更基本的东西。
第四句：
In a country that prides itself on its orderliness and rationality, the fanciful creature represents a means of escape.
词汇突破：
1.Pride oneself on sth: 以…为骄傲
2.Orderliness：井然有序
3.Rationality：理性
4.the fanciful creature：异想天开的生物；神奇的动物
参考译文：在一个以井然有序和理性自居的国家里，这种异想天开的生物代表着一种逃避的方式。
所以思考题：
The meaning of unicorn in Germany now evolves from the meaning of the Middle Ages.
“现在德国的独角兽的含义是源自于中世纪的含义的。”
这个说法就是没有依据的，所以可以被判定为F; (是的没有依据就是错误的。)
所以问一下你们认为小猪佩琪到底代表什么含义呢？
明天的句子：
In deed if not in word, the Trump administration has abandoned central tenets of conservative economic orthodoxy, a commitment to austerity and ulta-low inflation foremost among them. The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was followed not by deep cuts in safety-net spending, as partisans of small government might have hoped, but rather by an omnibus spending bill that dynamited the sequestration caps dreamed up by self-professed GOP deficit hawks.
思考题一：
The conservative economic policy champions the austerity.
思考题二：
Self-professed GOP deficit hawks proposed the sequestration caps.
