2001年考研英语一阅读真题翻译如下:
原文:
In the 1960s, when the United States was swept by a wave of anti-war demonstrations, the American public was largely indifferent to the war in Vietnam. The majority of Americans supported the war, and even though there were widespread protests on college campuses, they did not significantly affect the government's policy. However, in the early 1970s, public opinion began to shift. The Vietnam War was increasingly seen as a senseless and costly conflict, and public support for the war began to decline. This shift in public opinion was reflected in the election of 1972, when Richard Nixon was re-elected president. Despite his re-election, Nixon's administration faced growing criticism for its handling of the war, and the anti-war movement gained momentum. By the end of the decade, the war had become a major issue in the presidential election, and the United States finally withdrew from Vietnam in 1975.
翻译:
在20世纪60年代,当美国被反战示威的浪潮席卷时,美国公众对越南战争的态度普遍冷漠。大多数美国人支持这场战争,尽管在大学校园里广泛举行了抗议活动,但它们并没有显著影响政府的政策。然而,到了20世纪70年代初,公众舆论开始转变。越南战争越来越被视为一场毫无意义且代价高昂的冲突,公众对战争的支持开始下降。这种公众舆论的转变在1972年的选举中得到了体现,当时理查德·尼克松再次当选总统。尽管他再次当选,但尼克松政府因其对战争的处理而面临越来越多的批评,反战运动势头增强。到了十年末,战争已成为总统选举中的一个重要议题,美国终于在1975年从越南撤军。
