166. The basic stumbling block to global peace rests with the self-serving ambitions of many nations.全世界和平的基本障礙物在于許多國(guó)家謀私利的野心。
167. The overemphasis on one particular aspect of a problem often obscures the relevance of other issues.過(guò)分強(qiáng)調(diào)問(wèn)題的一個(gè)方面經(jīng)常掩蓋了其他方面的相關(guān)性。
168. Any presumption that smoking is in anyway beneficial is totally preposterous.
任何對(duì)抽煙不管怎樣是有益的假設(shè)都是完全荒謬的。
169. The fallacies of many arguments are quite obvious.許多論證的推論錯(cuò)誤是相當(dāng)明顯的。
170. Arbitrarily dismissing the direct link between increasing sexual promiscuity and the rapid spread of sexually transmitted diseases would be foolhardy. An even more foolish mistake would center on denying the need for extensive sex education programs worldwide.
武斷地?zé)o視性亂行為的增多和性傳播疾病的迅速蔓延之間的直接聯(lián)系是魯莽的。一個(gè)更愚蠢的錯(cuò)誤是否認(rèn)在世界范圍內(nèi)開(kāi)展廣泛的性教育項(xiàng)目的必要性。

171. There is absolutely no reason for us to believe that a brighter future for the world is an impossibility.我們絲毫沒(méi)有理由相信，世界不可能會(huì)有一個(gè)更光明的未來(lái)。
172. Meteorologists offer computer models leaving little doubt that this year's El Nino phenomenon has disappeared.氣象學(xué)家提供計(jì)算機(jī)模型，充分證明今年的厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)消失了。
173. Facts prove the unjustifiability of claims that China will be unable to feed itself by the year 2020.事實(shí)證明：斷言中國(guó)到2020年將不可能養(yǎng)活自己是不合道理的。
174. Previous explanations of the rising divorce rate in China are simply untenable. The fact is that many marriages were simply based on convenience and wives are no longer willing to accept the abusive domineering attitudes of husbands.以前對(duì)中國(guó)離婚率升高的解釋是完全站不住腳的。事實(shí)是許多婚姻僅僅建立在便利的基礎(chǔ)上，而且妻子不再愿意接受丈夫作威作福的態(tài)度。
175. Claim that entering the Chinese market offers foreign companies an immediate road to profits are grossly misstated and have been proven wrong time and again. The key to entering China rests with the phraseology "vast potential market", and how long one is willing to wait for returns.聲稱(chēng)進(jìn)入中國(guó)市場(chǎng)會(huì)給外國(guó)公司帶來(lái)立即獲利的途徑是非常錯(cuò)誤的，事實(shí)已經(jīng)一次次地證明了這一點(diǎn)。進(jìn)入中國(guó)的關(guān)鍵在于“廣闊的潛在市場(chǎng)”這一說(shuō)法以及為了回報(bào)愿意等待多久。
176. Parents are not wrong in enforcing good study habits, but they must not do so at the expense of stifling normal child development.家長(zhǎng)把好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣強(qiáng)加給孩子沒(méi)有錯(cuò)，但是，他們這么做不能以抑制兒童的正常發(fā)展為代價(jià)。
177. It is quite reasonable to assume that modern science and technology (S&T) will continue to advance. It is no less reasonable to believe that S&T will radically improve the way we live. However, the same reasoning cannot be applied to improving social interaction.假定現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)將繼續(xù)進(jìn)步是很有道理的。相信科技會(huì)大幅度地改變我們的生活方式也是同樣有道理的。然而，同樣的邏輯不能用于改善社會(huì)上的相互作用。
178. Belief in the wonders of modern medical science is quite understandable. It is also quite possible that our faith in the ability of scientists to find the key for prolonging life are well-founded. Yet, the wisdom of prolonging life remains in question when considering the already massive global population and projected future growth.相信現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)的奇跡是可以理解的。很有可能我們相信科學(xué)家能夠找到延長(zhǎng)生命的關(guān)鍵也是有根據(jù)的。但是，考慮到已經(jīng)非常龐大的世界人口和預(yù)計(jì)的未來(lái)的增長(zhǎng)，延長(zhǎng)生命是否明智仍有疑問(wèn)。
179. It is one thing to support euthanasia, but quite another to offer any justification for genocide.支持安樂(lè)死是一回事，為種族滅絕提供正當(dāng)?shù)睦碛墒橇硪换厥隆?br>180.
