四六级考研复习中的困惑

【前文回顾：速看速决】

It is speculated that gardens arise from a basic need in the individuals who made them: the need for creative expression. There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basic human urge; Yet when one looks at the photographs of the gardens created by the homeless, it strikes one that, for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative .

据推测，花园产生于花园建造者基本的人类需求，即创造性表达的需求。毫无疑问，花园的出现表明人们有一种难以抑制的欲望，想要去创造、表达、设计和美化，而且自我表达正是人类的一种基本欲望。然而，看着无家可归者绘制出的花园图片时，人们会突然想到，尽管这些花园风格多样，它们都显示了人类除了装饰和创造性表达之外的其他各种基本诉求。

One of these urges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot. A sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need.

这些诉求之一与在动荡中创造一种平和的状态相关，借用T. S. Eliot的话来说，就是“旋转世界中的静止点”。一个静谧的圣地，无论它多么简陋，都是人类特有的需求，这不同于避难栖息地，那是明显是动物需要的。

【词的处理】

distinction / diˈstiŋkʃn / n. 区别

latter / ˈlætə(r) / adj. 后者

former / ˈfɔ:mə(r); NAmE ˈfɔ:rm- / adj. 前者

all the more 更加

【参考译文】

This distinction is so much so that where the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the former becomes all the more urgent.

这种区别如此大，以至于在后者缺失的地方前者就会变得愈加迫切。对于这些不寻常的花园来说，情形正是如此。

【明日长难句】

Composure is a state of mind made possible by the structuring of one’s relation to one’s environment.
