Putin will finish the second of two terms as President in 2008. Under his leadership, Russia has re-emerged as a significant world power.【F1】
I have friends who predict that Vladimir Putin will find his new position as Russian prime minister a comedown after eight years as President.
I doubt it. Putin is more likely to define his job than be defined by it. After our first meetings, in 1999 and 2000, I described him in my journal as "shrewd, confident, hard-working, patriotic, and ingratiating." In the years since, he has become more confident and—to Westerners— decidedly less ingratiating.
Born in Leningrad(today’s St. Petersburg)Putin is the son of a sailor and a factory worker. From 1976 to 1990, Putin served in the foreign intelligence branch of the notorious Soviet spy agency. For many of those years, he was stationed in Germany. In 1998, Putin was tapped to run the FSB(successor to the KGB)by then Russian President Boris Yeltsin.【F2】
When Yeltsin resigned shortly before the end of his second term, Putin was chosen to serve as acting President, putting him in an ideal position to win the office in the election that followed.
【F3】
Some believe Putin’s KGB background explains everything, but his allegiance to the KGB is in turn explained by his intense nationalism—which accounts for his popularity in Russia.
Timing matters in history, and Putin has had the benefit of high oil prices and the contrast with his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin.【F4】
His vision of Russia is that of a great power in the old-fashioned European sense.
Such powers have spheres of influence and subjugate lesser powers. At home, they celebrate national traditions and prize collective glory, not individual freedom.
Tolstoy described the 19th century count Mikhail Speransky as a " rigorous-minded man of immense intelligence, who through his energy...had come to power and used it solely for the good of Russia." What one found disconcerting, though, " was Speransky’s cold, mirror-like gaze, which let no one penetrate to his soul. " It is possible to love the idea of a nation without caring too much for its citizens.
【F5】
It is unlikely that Putin, 55, will wear out his welcome at home anytime soon, as he has nearly done with many democracies abroad.
In the meantime, he will remain an irritant to NATO, a source of division within Europe and yet another reason for the West to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
【F1】
选项
答案
我有一些朋友预言弗拉基米尔·普京在8年总统任期届满之后,将会出任俄罗斯首相。
解析
该句为复合句。主句是I have friends,在friends之后出现了一个定语从句,定语从句中又出现了一个宾语从句。这个长句的翻译关键在于宾语从句的翻译。宾语从句一般在句中不改变位置,顺译即可,重点是宾语从句中涉及两个事件,在句中的位置和发生的时间刚好相反,翻译时最好按照时间顺序翻译,故可把a comedown after eight years as President放到find his new posi—tion as Russian prime minister之前翻译。此外,a comedown和after eight years as President意思重复,可省译a comedown。
