　　昨天的句子：

　　1.The honours system looked stained long before this weekend’s leak of David Cameron’s nominations for his resignation awards.

　　参考译文：授勋制度在本周末大卫•卡梅伦的辞职提名泄漏的很久以前就看起来污点重重。

　　2.Questions about such decorations are age-old: no recent case has matched the scandals of David Lloyd George’s era, when their sale was blatant.

　　参考译文：关于这种嘉奖的疑问由来已久：近来没有任何一例可以超过大卫•劳埃德•乔治时代的丑闻，那时他们公然出售头衔。

　　3.But they recur almost every time a list is published.

　　参考译文：但几乎每次发布名单时疑问就会重新出现。

　　所以从stained这个单词我们就能看出文章对于授勋系统的态度是负面的。

　　今天的句子：

　　In theory, awards both embody and cement a nation’s values. They mark our communal appreciation of an individual’s service or distinction – the contribution they have made to society, perhaps inspiring through an eye-catching achievement, perhaps serving tirelessly but without attracting attention.

　　But in reality, the meritorious look more like window dressing for honours than their justification of existence. Too many awards appear to be at best irrelevant baubles, at worst exceptional favours, serving more to divide than to unite us.

　　一个In theory, 一个 But in reality ,这就足以知道文章对于授勋系统的态度是负面的。
