　　Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas. They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.
　　crop picker“谷物采摘者”；construction worker“建筑工人”；entrepreneur“企业家”；health-care aide“医疗助理”；energetic“精力充沛的”；be driven by“受到...的驱使”；prefer to do“更喜欢做某事”；call可以理解为“呼唤”；manage to do“设法做某事”。
　　With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.
　　with or without permission“无论有没有得到许可”；straddle“跨越”；jurisdiction可以指“管辖权”；identity“身份”；with ease“轻易地，不费力地”；imagine...as...“认为”；where引导定语从句，修饰限定place；productive“有生产力的”；commit oneself to doing“承诺做某事”；belong to“属于”；honorably“体面地，值得尊敬地”。
　　Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
　　accommodate“适应”，也可以表示“容纳”；in motion“在运动中的”；require“需要，要求”；attitude“态度”；battle“斗争”；culture war“文化战争”；logic“逻辑”，也可以充当形容词；mean“意味着”；open up“打开，开发”；middle ground可以指“中间立场”；manage“成功应对”；multiple“多样的”；path“途径”；outcome“结果”；accomplish“完成”，名词形式accomplishment也可以指“成就，技能”；existing“现存的”。
