Meetings of ICANN, the international organisation that oversees the internet’s address system, are usually festivals of the arcane: wonks spend days discussing the minutiae of such things as top-level domain names and IP addresses.
監(jiān)管 oversees?
常規(guī)的 盛大的集會(huì) festivals
鮮為人知的 晦澀難懂的 arcane
wonks
討論什麼事呢?
細(xì)枝末節(jié) minutiae
頂級(jí)域名 top-level domain names (TLD)
But at Sunday’s get-together in Buenos Aires ICANN will ponder (and perhaps even take) a far-reaching decision: how it should function once the American government relinquishes ultimate control of the internet’s address book, turning ICANN into an independent global body.
行文的話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，But...
at Sunday’s get-together 在周日的這次會(huì)議
ICANN will ponder? ICANN 要權(quán)衡
權(quán)衡 ponder
a far-reaching decision 一個(gè)影響深遠(yuǎn)的決定
take a far-reaching decision 做出 一個(gè)影響深遠(yuǎn)的決定
ponder (and perhaps even take) a far-reaching decision:?
讀起來(lái)有點(diǎn)拗口耶。
為啥這樣寫?
引起讀者重視，下文。
how it should function once the American government relinquishes ultimate control of the internet’s address book, turning ICANN into an independent global body.
relinquishes?移交 放棄 讓出
function 本意 功能?
此處，動(dòng)詞 履行職責(zé)?
三件事
1 美國(guó)政府要移交，對(duì)於ICANN的 最終控制權(quán)
2 美國(guó)政府移交控制權(quán)以後，ICANN將 如何 履行其職責(zé)
3 美國(guó)政府移交控制權(quán)以後，ICANN將變成一個(gè) 獨(dú)立的國(guó)際機(jī)構(gòu)
The Americans promised to withdraw long ago, but only after Edward Snowden, a former contractor at their National Security Agency, revealed the extent of surveillance by the NSA did they begin to do so: even America’s allies now want it to reduce its role in internet governance.
很久以前，美國(guó)就保證 要撤出對(duì)於 ICANN 的 一個(gè)控制
withdraw 呼應(yīng)上句 relinquishes (換個(gè)詞用用)
但是呢，只有在 Edward Snowden 事件之後，
美國(guó)才下決心，付出行動(dòng)。
Edward Snowden, a former contractor at their National Security Agency, revealed the extent of surveillance by the NSA did they begin to do so:
** 對(duì)於 Edward Snowden 事件 進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)易解釋
the extent of surveillance
NSA
冒號(hào)後，指出
America’s allies now want it to reduce its role in internet governance.
美國(guó)的盟友們(allies)，也希望，弱化 (reduce)
美國(guó)在網(wǎng)路方面的管理和作用和地位。
可見(jiàn)，美國(guó)對(duì)於網(wǎng)路方面的監(jiān)控，引起眾怒。
ICANN won’t be able to decide on its fate alone: any arrangement will be closely scrutinised in Washington.?
ICANN won’t be able to decide on its fate alone:
ICANN 的命運(yùn)，並不是自己說(shuō)了算 :
any arrangement will be closely scrutinised in Washington.
華盛頓 (也就是，美國(guó)政府方面) ，仍然，
對(duì)於 ICANN 的每一項(xiàng)安排，都進(jìn)行了細(xì)緻的審查。
closely 程度副詞 和 scrutinised 幹嘛連用?
強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō)明，審查細(xì)緻的一個(gè)程度。
最後一句，補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明了，
Congressional Republicans in particular are suspicious of giving up American power.
美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)共和黨議員們對(duì)於移交 ICANN 控制權(quán)這件事
是，尤其，抱有，這種猜疑的情緒。
移交對(duì)於ICANN控制權(quán)，會(huì)有什麼影響?
請(qǐng)聽(tīng)老師講解。
哈。
