The little panda went without a name for his first hundred days in observance of a Chinese custom. It’s rare for pandas, born in captivity, to live more than a few days, and keeping the animals nameless is seen as a way to trick fate into letting them survive.The cub wasn’t present at his naming ceremony. The zoo officials said he probably wouldn’t be making his public debut until some time in December. Panda fans celebrate d Tai Shan’s day at a zoo ceremony featuring performances by Chinese dance troops and martial artists.Tai Shan usually spends the morning with his mother, Mei Xiang. His handlers are slowly introducing him to the exhibit where he’s expected to go on p ublic view within the next couple of months. Mei Xiang and the father, Tian Tian, are on a 10-year loan from China. The cub will be sent to China. when h e is 2 years old.The China Wildlife Conservation Association and the zoo official had selected five names from which voters could choose.

然而,说来痛心,显然有成百万从来没有想过自己会违法——更不用说犯罪——的美国人,对于遵守那些旨在保护和维持他们的社会的法律条文,却愈来愈表现得放肆起来。
Indeed, there are moments today — amid outlaw litter, tax cheating, illicit noise and motorized anarchy —when it seems as though the scofflaw represents the wave of the future. Harvard Sociologist David Riesman suspects that a majority of Americans have blithely taken to committing supposedly minor derelictions as a matter of course.Already, Riesman says, the ethic of U.S. society is in da nger of becoming this: “You're a fool if you obey the rules.”今天,随处乱扔拉圾、逃税、违禁噪音,以及开汽车的无序状态,真是比比皆是;有时简直使人觉得,践踏法令者似乎代表了未来的潮流。
哈佛大学的社会学者戴维•里斯曼认为,大多数美国人都不以为然、毫无顾忌地喜欢犯些所谓的小过失。
里期曼说,今天美国社会的道德规范已差不多快变成“谁守法谁就是傻瓜”了。
Nothing could be more obvious than the evidence supporting Riesman. Scofflaws abound in amazing variety.The graffiti-prone turn public surfaces into visual rubbish. Bicyclists often ride as though two-wheeled vehicles are exempt from all traffic laws. Litterbugs convert their communities into trash dumps.里斯曼的论断,随处都可得到极为充分的证实。
玩忽法令者形形色色,令人吃惊。
喜欢在公共场所乱涂乱写的人,把这些地方弄得满目疮痍。
骑自行车无拘无束,仿佛两轮车就可以不遵守交通规则似的。
随处乱扔拉圾的人把他们的居住区变成了拉圾堆。
Widespread flurries of ordinances have failed to clear public places of high-decibel portable radios, just as earlier laws failed to wipe out the beer-soaked hooliganism that plagues many parks.Tobacco addicts remain hopelessly blind to signs that say NO SMOKING. Respectably dressed pot smokers no longer bother to duck out of public sight to pass around a joint. The flagrant use of cocaine is a festering scandal in middle and upper-class life. And then there are (hello, everybody!) the jaywalkers.到处张贴的禁令,也未能使公共场所免于手提收音机的高分贝噪音的污染,正如早先颁布禁令,禁止喝饱啤酒的流氓滋扰公园,竟毫无作用一样。
烟草瘾君子对那些“禁止吸烟”的布告牌熟视无睹。
衣冠楚楚的大麻烟客传递毒品也不再躲躲闪闪,避人耳目。
可卡因毒品泛滥,成了中上层社会中愈来愈恼人的丑闻。
当然,还有那些不遵守交通规则,乱穿马路的人。
The dangers of scofflawry vary widely. The person who illegally spits on the sidewalk remains disgusting, but clearly poses less risk to others than the company that illegally buries hazardous chemical waste in an unauthorized location. The fare beater on the subway presents less threat to life than the landlord who ignores fire safety statutes. The most immediately and measurably dangerous scofflawry, however, also happens to be the most visible.践踏法令的危害有轻有重。
在人行道上随地吐痰,当然是令人讨厌的;但与那些大工厂在非指定地点违法掩埋危险的化学废料的作法相比,其对公众的危害则要小多了。
乘地铁不买票,当然不会像房东老板无视防火安全条文那样会危及人的生命安全。
然而正是这些极常见的践踏法令行为的危害却最直接最明显。
The culprit is the American driver, whose lawless activities today add up to a colossal public nuisance.The hazards range from routine double parking that jams city streets to the drunk driving that kills some 25,000 people and injures at least 650,000 others yearly. Illegal speeding on open highways? New surveys show that on some interstate highways 83% of all drivers are currently ignoring the federal 55 mph speed limit.罪魁祸首要算那些无法无天的美国司机,其所做所为积累成今天的巨大公害。
这种危害包括致使交通阻塞的常见的路边双排停车和导致每年车祸死亡 25,000 人、受伤至少 65 万人的酒后开车。
