Directions:
Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments intoChinese.Your translation should be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)
  A chilling feature of the suicide video left by Mohammad Sidique Khan。the leader of the band that killed more than 50 people in London in July,2005,was the homely Yorkshire accent in which he told his countrymen that“your”government is at war with“my people”.What makes a Muslim in Britain or America wake up and decide that he is no longer a Briton 0r American but an Islamic “soldier”fighting a holy war against the infidel? Part of it must be pull,part is presumably push.
  George Bush has repeated like a scratched gramophone record that Americans were at war with the terrorists who had attacked them on 9/1 1,not at war with Islam.(46)Barack 0bama has followed suit:the White House national security strategy published in May says that one way to guard against radicalisation at home is to stress that“diversity is part of our strength--not a source of division or insecurity.”This is hardly rocket science.(47) And that reminding Americans of the difference--a real one,by the way,not one fabricated for the purposes of political correctness--between Islam.a religion with a billion adherents.And AI Qaeda.a terrorist outfit that claims to speak in Islam’s name but has absolutely no right to do so
  Why would any responsible American politician want to erase that vital distinction?Good question.(48)Ask Sarah Palin,or Newt Gingrich,or the many others who have lately clamored about the offensive campaign to stop Cordoba House,a proposed community centre and mosque,from being built in New York two blocks from the site of the twin towers
  In a tweet last mortth from Alaska.Ms Palin called on“peaceful Muslims”to“repudiate ”he“ground zero mosque ”because it would“stab”American hearts.But why should it? Cordoba House is not being built by Al Qaeda.To the contrary.it is the brainchild of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf,a well meaning American cleric who has spent years trying to promote interfaith understanding.He is modelling his project on New York’s 92nd Street Y.a Jewish community centre that reaches out to other religions.The site was selected precisely so that it might heal some of the wounds opened by the felling of the twin towers and all that followed.True.some relatives of 9/11 victims are hurt by the idea of a mosque going up near the site.(49)But that feeling of hurt makes sense only if they too buy the false idea that Muslims in general were perpetrators of the crime.Besides,what about the feelings.and fo that matter the rights,of America’s Muslims-some of whom also perished in the atrocity?
  (50)It is impossible to excuse the mean spirit and scrambled logic of Mr Ginger’sassertion that “there should be no mosoue near ground zero so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia”. To Mr Gingrich,it seems,all American Muslim is a Muslim first and an American second.Al Qaeda would doubtless concur.Mr Gingrich also objects to the centre’s name.Imam Feisal says he chose“Cordoba”in recollection of a time when the rest of Europe had sunk into the Dark Ages but Muslims,Jews and Christians created an oasis of art,culture and science.Mr Gingrich sees only a“deliberate insult”.a reminder of a period when Muslim conquerors ruled Spain.Like Mr bin Laden,Mr Gingrich is apparently still reiterating the victories and defeats of religious wars fought in Europe and the Middle East centuries ago.He should rejoin the modem world,before he does real harm.
