Passage 4。

Over the past decade, the United States has experienced

a significant increase in the number of foreign-born

residents. In 2013, an estimated 41.3 million immigrants

lived in the United States, accounting for 13.3% of the

total population. This influx of immigrants has had a

profound impact on American society, both positive and

negative.

On the positive side, immigrants have brought a wealth

of new ideas and perspectives to the United States. They

have helped to create a more diverse and vibrant culture,

and they have contributed to the country's economic success.

Immigrants are more likely than native-born Americans to

start businesses, and they are often willing to work in

low-wage jobs that many Americans are unwilling to do.

However, there are also some negative aspects to the increase in immigration. Some native-born Americans fear

that immigrants are taking jobs away from them and driving

down wages. Others worry that immigrants are not

assimilating into American culture and are creating social

divisions.

Despite these concerns, there is no doubt that

immigrants have made a significant contribution to the

United States. They have helped to make the country a more

prosperous and diverse nation.

Summary.

The United States has experienced a significant

increase in immigration over the past decade. This influx

has had both positive and negative impacts on American

society. Immigrants have brought new ideas and perspectives

to the United States, helped to create a more diverse

culture, and contributed to the country's economic success.

However, there are also some concerns about the impact of

immigration on jobs and social cohesion. Despite these concerns, there is no doubt that immigrants have made a

significant contribution to the United States.

between the federal government and the states.

本段翻译

最高法院周一以5:3的投票结果裁定亚利桑那州移民法多项条款无效——对奥巴马政府来说是场小政策胜利。不过，在宪法这一更重要的问题上，最高法院以8:0的一致表决使企图打破联邦政府与各州之间权力平衡的奥巴马政府完败。

In Arizona v. United States, the majority overturned three of the

four contested provisions of Arizona’s controversial plan to have state and

local police enforce federal immigration law. The Constitutional principles that

本文节选自《经济学人》（The Economist）名为The Halo Effect的文章。文章主要谈论的是企业社会责任政策(Corporate social responsibility，CSR)。开篇先从诺贝尔经济学家Milton Friedman的评论引出作者对CSR的看法，“CSR的政策并不是对股东财富的浪费，新的研究表明——CSR很可能对公司产生货币价值（至少在他们被指控腐败时）。”全文围绕“CSR是如何给公司的业务增值”展开，并举出具体的例子和研究进行阐述。

首先提出企业责任政策花费虽然大，但是能因此博得顾客的好感。之后则指出全面实施CSR项目的企业在受到诉讼时，法官也会在审判的时候排除政治因素而优先考虑企业之前的CSR担当，从而给予相对略低的罚金。最后文章指出到底公司对这方面的花费是多少虽然不确定，但至少确定的是企业责任能帮助它们在法律面前获得相对较轻的处罚。

注释：本文为书评，即对于某本畅销书的内容的评价，书评是考研外语中常见的一类文章，几乎每年都有，不过指望能得出什么固定模式是不可能的，因为你无法预测到底哪本书或者哪类书能上榜，更无法断定写这个评论的会是谁。该书为伊丽莎白席琳所著《时尚》，批评美国人（其实不光是美国，稍微有点钱的都这个德行）疯狂购买时尚服装，全然不管这些衣服到底能穿几次，更遑论环保和可持续发展。说实话，翻译本文时，我总想起一句很经典的话，女人总是对着装满衣服的柜子抱怨没衣服穿。

In the 2006film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly,

played by MerylStreep, scold her unattractive assistant for imagining

that high fashion doesn’t affect her. Priestly explains howthe deep

blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from

fashion shows to departmentstores and to the bargain bin in which the

poor girl doubtless found her garment.

在2006年上映的“穿普拉达的女王（直译，不过我更欣赏另外一个译名，时尚女魔）”中，由梅丽尔斯特里普（人名不必译出）出演的米兰达普利斯特里臭骂她那个倒霉助手的原因就一个，不解风情（unattractive一词我移到了这里，不然放在前面前后叠句，削弱语言效果），居然不懂时尚。普利斯特里宣称，这蠢丫头的衣服竟然是深蓝色的，这种款式（sweater，美式俚语中指紧身上衣）早就扔到箱子底了（from fashion
