The very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of 

intense gratification and delight.

中文中有这么一句话：“人们声称的最美好的岁月其实都是最痛苦的，只是事后回忆起来的时候才那么幸福。不是非常严格的一一对应的句子，但是却是最好的翻译。

It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter – nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience.

       词汇突破：1. Provocative 有争议性的，煽动性的；

2. chatter 讨论，唠叨

the chattering classes 喋喋阶级(贬)喋喋阶级（受过教育的人士，尤指学术界、艺术界或媒体人士，习惯于发表有关社会和文化的自由主义见解）

3. life-enriching 丰富人生的

4. fulfilling 满足的

5. anything less than 绝不是

句子解析： 1. It’s no surprise that 毫无疑问

2. Story is arousing much chatter

3. nothing gets people talking like the suggestion

Nothing…like….

最高级：the suggestion gets people talking：这样的说法是最能引起人们谈兴的。

4. that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience.

养孩子绝不是一种能令人满足和丰富人生的经验。

（解析：同样的道理说：“养孩子是一种能令人满足和丰富人生的经验。”也能引起人们的谈兴，所以其实这里正反的翻译都是符合语境的。）

参考译文： 1毫无疑问， Jennifer Senior发表的一篇有见地的而且是有争议性的杂志封面文章：2“我爱我的孩子，我恨我的生活”一定会引起人们的热烈讨论：4“养孩子绝不是一种能令人满足和丰富人生的经验。”3这样的说法是最能引起人们谈兴的。

（切分调序！）

 今天的句子来自这样一篇文章：

  Colleges with big endowments face calls to scrap tuition payments

  获得大量捐赠的学校面临号召要求取消学费。

Some lawmakers are wondering whether threats to change the tax-exempt status of endowments might be used to persuade colleges to bring down the cost of 

tuition, which has increased by 220% in real terms since 1980. 

Harvard could scrap tuition payments without damaging its finances or touching 

the restricted portion of its endowment, he reckons. 

Furthermore, the abolition of both complicated financial-aid forms and terrifying 

sticker-prices for tuition could, he argues, do much to encourage applicants from beyond the plutocracy.
