寒假每日一译，大家一起来

The traditon of sharp debate and savage satire goes back to an era before Western democracy as we known it today had fully deweloped.It begins with the religious controversies of the 16th centuey.The Reformation in the 16th century split the Christian church in the West between Roman Catholics,who continued to give their allegiance to the pope,and Protestants ,who utterly rejected his authority.
用尖锐辩论和讽刺作品来激烈抨击社会的惯例已经成为过去，现在我们所知的西方民主已经得到全面发展。这种民主开始于十六世纪的宗教争议。十六世纪的改革把西方基督教堂分给两派人使用，一派是继续向罗马教皇贡献自己的忠诚的罗马教众，还有一派是最终否认罗马教皇权威的新教徒。

Many of the theological debates which occurred then may seem to us  today to be intellectual,academic and sterile.At the time this was not the case.Governments and peoples,convinced that they had a monopoly of the Truth,killed ruthlessly in order to stamp out  what they considered to be dangerous error.We are accustomed to thinking of the Cold War as a deep and dangerous ideological struggle.The religious debates of the 16th and 17th centuries were just as deep and dangerous,if not more so.
许多我们现在发起的研究神学的辩论似乎是充满智力，学术和无效果的。同时这都不是问题。政府和人民相信他们垄断了真理，当他们被当做危险的错误时，残忍的为了毁灭而毁灭。我们习惯性把冷战当做深而危险的思想搏斗。十六世纪到十七世纪的宗教辩论也是这么深奥且危险，也许也没有这么严重。

建议你可以翻译一些心理学的论文

谢谢建议，不过我试着看过中文的，感觉都看不懂，尝试翻译的话，又有专业术语，我怕翻译出来的东西会一点可取之处都木有，虽然这个翻的也很烂。。。话说，论文要怎么看呢。。。本来想寒假看看的，发现不知道从哪里下手。

今天很不坚定的被小姨妹妹姐姐大姨拉去一同置办年货，回来又和老爸畅谈至现在这个点。今天木有了，明天更上。好惭愧，寒假每日一译都木有做到过。。。捂脸逃走。。。

This,then ,is where the sharp argumentative nature of Western culture finds its origin.And the sharpness of the debates was particularly evident in Britain.In the mid-17th century Britain suffered a civil war which was at least partly caused by religious differences between the king and his opponents.One of the issues at stake was whether the king should be able to continue to impose a particular form of religion on every citizen in the country,or whether there should be greater religious freedom and independence.In 1644 the poet John Milton,who later served in the government of Oliver Cromwell,published a major defence of press freedom called Areopagitica.
其次，这就是西方文化辩论天性锋利激烈的原因。并且辩论直指人心这一点在英国体现的尤为明显。17世纪中期的英国，在一场国王与其反对者之间经历了一场由于宗教差异等因素造成的一场内战。在一件事情上发生的分歧使局势危如累卵，这件事就是关于国王是否英国继续向国家中的每一个公民征收一份宗教税，或者是否应该给宗教更多自由和独立。1644年诗人john Milton,在奥利弗克伦威尔的政府任职，出版了一个重要的自由辩论的书籍，叫做Areopagita

Then in the 1670s the first political parties,the Whigs and the Tories,were formed,once again as a direct result of religious controversy.(The heart of the matter was a debate as to whether a Roman Catholic should be able to succeed to the throne)Political parties caused the traditon of debate to become embedded in British life.In parliament the two parties sat facing each other and expected to disagree and argue.Abroad,many of the more advanced thinkers,particularly in France,were very jealous of this tradition of free and open debate.The great French writer,Voltaire,for example,praised England in his Lettres Anglaises.
然后在十六世纪七十年代， 辉格党和保守党作为第一批形成的政党是多次宗教争端的直接产物。（核心问题在于争论罗马教皇是否能够成功登上宝座）政党使辩论这一传统深深嵌入英国生活中。两方政党在议会中面对面坐着预料到了争议和不一致。在国外，尤其是在法国，许多先进思想者十分妒忌这种自由开放辩论的传统。比如，法国伟大作家Voltaire在他的letres Anglaises中赞美了英国。

In the early 18th century a coffee house culture grew up in England.In coffee houses people would not only drink coffee but also read newspapers and discuss politics and literature.By 1720 there were 12 London and 24 provincial newspapers.A century later the figures had risen to 52 London newspapers and over 100 others.
在十八世纪早期一种咖啡屋文化在英国形成。人们在咖啡屋不仅喝咖啡而且读报纸，讨论政治时事和文学作品。到1720年为止，咖啡馆提供伦敦十二份报纸以及24省的报纸。一个世纪以后，伦敦报纸种类上升到52种，而其他地方的报纸数量超过100份。
