[综合题]TRANSLATION
The following excerpt is taken from the textbook. Read the paragraph carefully and translate into Chinese each of the numbered and underlined parts. The tendency to move down in social class is less obvious, for a claim to an aristocratic birth, especially in Europe, has always carried a certain distinction, and (1) people have made tremendous efforts to obtain for their children the kind of opportunities they had for themselves. (2) In the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes, the growth of the social service development of educational opportunity have considerably altered the social outlook. (3) The upper classes no longer are the sole, or even the main possessors of wealth, power and education, though inherited social positions still carries considerable prestige.
(4) Many people today are hostile towards class distinctions and privileges and hope to achieve a classless society. The trouble is that as one inequality is removed, another tends to take its place, and (5) the best that has so far been attempted is a society in which distinctions are elastic and in which every member has fair opportunities for making the best of his abilities.
