一、译前自测-ECO选段(英译汉)

　　建议落笔翻译，若手头暂无纸笔，也可先进行视译。

　　CAN YOU identify what or whom the following describes: is widely disliked around the world; might have been ditched by some supporters earlier had convincing alternatives existed; has had a difficult six months; and refuses to go quietly? Here’s another clue: this is not a column about politics. The answer is the dollar. It is the most unloved of major currencies, apart from all the others. And, oddly, it has been given a fillip by a messy election result at home. Or perhaps that is not so odd. The dollar’s resilience has been one of the more monotonous motifs in financial markets in recent years. Dollar strength is twinned with another hardy theme—the growing heft of America’s companies, notably its tech giants, in global equity markets.

　　看你能否猜出以下内容所描述的对象：在全世界不受多数人待见;如果有更好的选择，可能一早就被一些支持者抛弃了;经历了艰难的六个月;拒绝安静地让位。还有一个提示：我们这不是个政治专栏。答案是美元。除去所有非主要货币，它是主要货币中最不受喜爱的。而且奇怪的是，美国大选结果的纷扰却给它带来了利好刺激。可能也没那么奇怪。近些年，美元坚挺已成了金融市场上持久到比较乏味的主题之一。美元强势与另一个同样持久的主题紧密相连：美国公司尤其是美国科技巨头在全球股票市场的影响力越来越大。
