1.Stagnation, both political and economic, has been the hallmark of a country where little has changed for decades, even as power has rotated between the established parties of left and right.
经济和政治上的停滞状态已经成为了法国的特色标签，尽管政权在左右两翼老牌党派中流转，数十年来法国都没有出现大的变革。
vs:法国过去几十年都鲜有变化，政治和经济上的停滞已经成了这个国家的典型特征，即便传统的左派和右派轮流执政也毫不起色。
注：established这个词很有意思，绝对的报刊高频词，通常表示某事/人/物已有稳固地位，比如established capitalist countries通常被翻成老牌资本主义国家。They are an established company with a good reputation.他们是一家地位稳固，信誉良好的公司。An established actor著名演员。
2.The implications of these insurgencies are hard to exaggerate.
毫不夸张的说，这些叛逆思潮影响力是巨大的。
VS: 这些黑马带来的影响难以估量。

此次法国着政权重组的影响力将远远超出法国边界。要么重振欧盟，要么重创欧盟。

Sap vitality/energy/confidence:
sap sth/sap sb of sth: to make sb/sth weaker; to destroy sth gradually.
The hot sun sapped our energy. Years of failure have sapped him of his confidence.
注：Vast state指政府臃肿庞大，开支惊人，中国2010年政府开支占GDP比重为22%， 供参考~
6.If she pulls France out of the euro, it would trigger a financial crisis and doom a union that, for all its flaws, has promoted peace and prosperity in Europe for six decades.
如若勒庞脱欧，将引发金融危机，并且会导致欧盟，这个尽管并不完美，但曾经为欧洲和平与繁荣保驾护航60 余载的国际组织，走向垮台。

ｂ／总结反思：
1/ 第一天的单词任务，单词是有史以来查的最多的一次。很多词汇虽然认识，但是不属于active 词汇，能辨识不能灵活运用。不得不感慨TE的文本质量很高，很多词都可以做到四两拨千斤，比如说：insurgent， pitch as（以前曾惆怅过产品定位怎么说，position就是别扭，pitch as 炒鸡生动），through the bums out。
2/ 因为一直有关注时事，所以题材不陌生，背景知识真的太重要，不然一头雾水的，理不清楚候选人以及他们的动向。知识的扩充与时事新闻要持续做。
3／文章是评论性的，用词又生动，翻译时的尺度不好拿捏。需要注意句内逻辑。且，所以，则会。。。
