【魔法带练】
第一步，忽视空格，圈画关键词（实词，人名，数字），浏览全篇文章，概括大意。

Young men now, each 43 his way in life, but they still carry a strong 44 of their origins, although Alyosha less so than Anton. While Alyosha does not often 45 the land of his Russian birth, Anton's feelings for Ukraine run deep: When Crimea(克里米亚) joined Russia in 2014, Anton was 17.
I'm grateful that 46 the conflict, they behave as if their 47 is one of blood.
In addition to 48 another word comes to mind: absence. I often see crowded 49 of mothers and children everywhere, huddled(蜷缩) in dark and 50 spaces on the news now. But my boys aren't there. I also often see children crying as they hug tightly fathers who must 51 themselves to wars. But my sons are here, and I am available to them.
Especially, in these 52 times, when it is easy to draw battle lines and take 53 events have, instead, pushed my sons 54 together. Staring at them, I realize that I am not looking at a Russian and a Ukrainian; I am looking at two people who love each other so much that doing the other 55 is unthinkable.
【主题词归纳】是一个不和谐的家庭环境，孩子们玩耍时候到照顾孩子的时候。这两个收养的孩子之间的关系并不是和谐的，所以得到作者的特别关注。这两个小孩究竟会不会采用以小放大的象征两国之间的关系。
第二步，结合选项或者行文逻辑，综合考虑，在脑子里面过一遍选项，挑选出初定选项
This world is not really peaceful. The heartbroken scenes in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are 41 day by day.

I cannot help thinking about my unique family situation.
我不禁想到我独特的家庭状况。
I am the father of two adopted boys, one from Russia and the other from Ukraine, and I 42 them when they were very little.

第三步，再次回顾原文，逐个空根据关键词以及行文逻辑逐个验证，全文进行视译（视译：是不用动笔头只需要心里面过一遍译文就可以了）注意一下带颜色标注的线索词汇。
This world is not really peaceful. The heartbroken scenes in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are unfold day by day. I cannot help thinking about my unique family situation. I am the father of two adopted boys, one from Russia and the other from Ukraine, and I adopted them when they were very little.
这个世界并不真正和平。俄罗斯和乌克兰冲突中令人心碎的场景每天都在上演。我不禁想到我独特的家庭状况。我收养了两个男孩，一个来自俄罗斯，另一个来自乌克兰，他们很小的时候我就收养了他们。
Young men now, each make his way in life, but they still carry a strong sense of their origins, although Alyosha less so than Anton. While Alyosha does not often think of the land of his Russian birth, Anton's feelings for Ukraine run deep: When Crimea(克里米亚) joined Russia in 2014, Anton was 17.
现在的年轻人，每个人都有自己的人生之路，但他们仍然对自己的出身有强烈的意识，尽管阿廖沙没有安东那么强烈。虽然阿廖沙不常想起自己的俄罗斯出生地，但安东对乌克兰的感情很深:2014年克里米亚(克里米亚)加入俄罗斯时，安东才17岁。
I'm grateful that without the conflict, they behave as if their bond is one of blood.
我很感激没有冲突，他们的行为就像血缘关系一样。
In addition to gratitude another word comes to mind: absence. I often see crowded gathering of mothers and children everywhere, huddled(蜷缩) in dark and messy spaces on the news now. But my boys aren't there. I also often see children crying as they hug tightly fathers who must separate themselves to wars. But my sons are here, and I am available to them.
除了感激，我还想到了另一个词:缺席。我经常看到到处都是拥挤的母亲和孩子聚集在一起，挤在黑暗和混乱的空间(蜷缩)现在的新闻。但是我的孩子们不在那里。我也经常看到孩子们在紧紧拥抱那些必须投身于战争的父亲时哭泣。但我的儿子们都在这里，我可以陪着他们。
Especially, in these troubled times=下划线标注句, when it is easy to draw battle lines and take sides events have, instead, pushed my sons closer together. Staring at them, I realize that I am not looking at a Russian and a Ukrainian; I am looking at two people who love each other so much that doing the other harm is unthinkable.
特别是，在这个混乱的时代=下划线标注句，当很容易划定战线和站队时，事件反而使我的儿子们走得更近了。看着他们，我意识到我看到的不是俄罗斯人和乌克兰人;我看到的是两个人，他们彼此深爱着对方，伤害对方是不可想象的。What I will be hosting, to be exact, is a series of meditation retreats(冥想静修) to be held this spring. During each retreat, about a hundred 4l will come here from all over the world for a period of a week to ten days to deepen their meditation practices. Some of them are 42 , but many have never been to India. My role is to take care of these people during their 43 here. For most of the retreat, the participants will be in 44 .For some of them, it will be the first time they've 45 silence as a devotional practice, and it can be intense. However, I will be the one person they are 46 to talk to if something is going wrong.
I can help them. I am so 47 to help. All the listening skills I learned as a(n) 48 bartender. All the antennas(百觉) I've ever developed throughout my lifetime that have taught me how to 49 what people are feeling-- they were all accumulated 50 I could help ease these good people into the difficult task they've 51 . I am so consumed by 52 at their bravery. These people have 53 their families and lives for a few weeks to go into silent retreat with a crowd of perfect 54 in India. Not everybody does this in their 55 .

55空考察的是主题词关联。Meditation retreat禅定不就是一种六根清净的修行。所谓的修行肯定是一辈子的哦;前文提及 All the antennas(百觉) I've ever developed throughout my lifetime意为我一生中已经发展的百觉，推测可得到meditation retreat也是需要一辈子的。
第三步，再次回顾原文，逐个空根据关键词以及行文逻辑逐个验证，全文进行视译（视译：是不用动笔头只需要心里面过一遍译文就可以了）注意一下带颜色标注的线索词汇。
What I will be hosting, to be exact, is a series of meditation retreats(冥想静修) to be held this spring. During each retreat, about a hundred devotes will come here from all over the world for a period of a week to ten days to deepen their meditation practices. Some of them are old-times, but many have never been to India. My role is to take care of these people during their stay here. For most of the retreat, the participants will be in silent.For some of them, it will be the first time they've experience silence as a devotional practice, and it can be intense. However, I will be the one person they are allowed to talk to if something is going wrong.
确切地说，我将主持今年春天举行的一系列冥想静修(冥想静修)。在每次闭关期间，大约有一百名来自世界各地的修持者将在一周到十天的时间里来这里加深他们的冥想练习。其中一些是老古董，但许多人从未去过印度。我的职责是在这些人逗留期间照顾他们。在静修的大部分时间里，参与者将保持沉默。对他们中的一些人来说，这将是他们第一次将沉默作为一种虔诚的练习，这种练习可能会很激烈。然而，如果出了什么问题，我将是他们唯一可以倾诉的人。
I can help them. I am so equipped to help. All the listening skills I learned as a(n) sympathetic bartender. All the antennas(百觉) I've ever developed throughout my lifetime that have taught me how to read what people are feeling-- they were all accumulated so that I could help ease these good people into the difficult task they've take on. I am so consumed by wonder at their bravery. These people have leave behind their families and lives for a few weeks to go into silent retreat with a crowd of perfect stranger in India. Not everybody does this in their lifetime.
我可以帮助他们。我很有能力帮你。我作为一个富有同情心的酒保学到的所有倾听技巧。我一生中开发的所有天线(百觉)都教会了我如何读懂人们的感受——它们都是积累起来的，这样我就可以帮助这些好人轻松地完成他们所承担的艰巨任务。我对他们的勇敢感到惊奇。这些人离开他们的家庭和生活几个星期，在印度和一群完全陌生的人一起安静地静修。不是每个人在他们的一生中都会这样做。
