神句翻译
1. Some will have you believe that Islam is at fault since verses of the Qur’an legitimize such violence, while their opponents point out that the ideology fuelling these acts of terror is a twisted perversion of the religion.
有人会告诉你伊斯兰教是罪魁祸首，因为其教义《可兰经》认为这种暴力行为是合法的，但也有人反对这种说法，他们指出伊斯兰教思想引发恐怖行为的这种看法是对宗教意义的歪曲。//
#1 “合法的”这一解释不妥，可以理解为“可兰经认可这种暴力”
#2 ideology的理解有偏差，应该指“导致恐怖行为的思想体系”
【修改：有人会告诉你伊斯兰教是罪魁祸首，因为其教义《可兰经》的经文为这种暴力行径提供了辩护，但也有人反对这种说法，他们认为导致恐怖行为的思想体系其实是对伊斯兰教的变态扭曲。】
2. Western policy has often been cited as an important driver, but there are countless law-abiding British citizens of all faiths who disagree with recent foreign policy who do not feel compelled to wreak bloody havoc on account of it.
西方外交政策经常被看作是恐怖行为的重要推动力，但也有很多拥有各种信仰的英国守法公民不同意最近的外交政策，也不认为因为这样就一定要制造骚乱。//
# 定语有点长
【参考：西方政策经常被认为是一个重要的诱因，然而，无数不赞成近期外交政策的英国公民并没有因此而觉得非得发动血腥暴乱，他们秉持不同信仰且遵纪守法。】
【笃师注：两个who并列修饰countless law-abiding British citizens,但两个who后面的内容在逻辑上是转折关系，无数不赞成外交政策的人，并没有因此气急败坏，相反，他们遵纪守法。】
3. For those who find themselves at odds with the culture of their parents, and yet are met with hostility from the culture of the society they live in, exiting the acculturation paradigm to embrace a third culture that provides them with a sense of belonging may be an appealing option. In this case their minds become fertile ground for radicalization.
有一些年轻人，与父母的文化观念有分歧，同时又感受到所处的社会的文化带来的敌意，于是他们退出既有的文化适应的模式，选择去接受一种新的文化，以寻找一种归属感。在这种情况下，他们的思想很容易变得激进。//
# 有点啰嗦
【参考：对那些和父母观念冲突，在社会中又满遭敌意的人而言，退出文化适应模式加入能给他们带来归属感的第三种文化就成了具有吸引力的一个选择。在这种情况下，激进主义很容易在这些人脑中滋生。】
4. Perhaps the low self-esteem brought on by marginalization is the mediator here, traded readily by some disaffected Muslim youths for the perceived sense of purpose and status associated with being a jihadi.
也许正是边缘化引起的不强的自尊心起到了调解作用，一些不满的穆斯林青年很容易用它去换取激进分子所能带来的可感知的目的和地位。//
#1 mediator 可以是一个“中间体”，导致激进的根源所在
#2 perceived sense of purpose and status 的解释太牵强
【参考：也许由边缘化带来的低自尊是主要载体，愤愤不平的穆斯林青年满心想通过成为圣战分子把它转变成自认为的使命感和地位感。】
【笃师注：perceived这个词应该来说是英语里特别精妙的一个词，汉语里很难找到直接对应词。指的是自己的主观认知，通常与客观事实都有一段距离。What you perceive is just your interpretation of the reality instead of the reality itself.】
5. Although the factors that lead to radicalization are still poorly understood, and are as complex as the acts of terror are devastating, some common themes are evident, and we should respond accordingly.
尽管目前导致激进主义的原因还不是很清楚，而且那些和恐怖行为一样复杂的因素是毁灭性的，但一些共同的主题是显而易见的，我们应当做出相应的回应。//
#1 理解有误。句子分析：简化后为 Factors are complex as the acts of terrors are devastating. 本句主干：Although factors are complex, some common themes are evident. 因此应理解为“其复杂程度堪比恐怖行径带来的灾难程度”。
#2 theme 这里用“主题”不妥
#3 “相应的回应”就是“要采取相应的措施”
【参考：尽管导致激进主义的原因依然不明，且其复杂程度堪比恐怖行径带来的灾难规模，但有一些线索还是相当明显，需要我们采取相应的措施。】

世事复杂多变，到一个全新的陌生的地方，适应环境便成了首要的任务。不偏激，不固执，才能更好地适应；多思考，多交流，才能更好地融入。文化适应是这样，面对生活中的各种变动也是这样。多了解这个世界，才能以不变应万变。
