专业八级1998/2006/2007/2009年 英译汉 Ideas have crossed the Atlantic as freely as men and merchandise, though sometimes more slowly. When I refer to American habit, thoughts, etc, I intend some sort of qualification to precede the word, for frequently the difference between America and Europe (especially England) will be one of degree, sometimes only of a small degree.

There are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities; kinship yield to a sudden alienation, as when we hail a person across the street, only to discover from his blank response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend. 他眼中的这个国家，在重要的意义上，诞生于他自己的国家，在有些方面，仍然与他自己的国家相似——然而，他仍时常感到自己身处异国。有奇怪的交替重叠感，也有突兀的陌生感，亲缘关系让位于一种突如其来的疏离感，如同当我们高声向街道对面的一个人打招呼，从他漠然的反应中，我们发现自己错把陌
