往下翻，对对答案~~~


1. Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against the decline in education.

permissive: adj. 放任的，纵容的

criticism：n. 批判

译文：责怪纵容放任的20世纪60 年代并不新鲜，但这次却不是对教育退步的又一场批判。


2. Mr. McWhorter’s academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of “whom”, for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English.

academic: adj 学术的

speciality：n. 专长，特长

gradual：adj. 逐渐的

disappearance: n. 消失

no more…than：和…一样不

regrettable：adj. 惋惜的，遗憾的

译文：麦荷特先生的学术专长是语言的历史与变迁。举例来说，他认为“whom“一词的逐渐消失是自然的，和古英语中词格尾缀的消失一样根本没什么可遗憾的。
