peer agreement (net): +1FYI Explanation: Asker: Tell me if additional paragraphs are needed for this question. Answer： No additional paragraphs are needed. Context sufficient. New Scientist 新科学家，固定译名。 译文： 新科学家已经陷入夸夸其谈（或浮夸）的泥沼之中。 a sticky vat of hyperbole 一捅粘乎乎的东西，这种东西就是夸张。这种比喻与华人读者的思维方式相去甚远。考虑华人的接受方式， 不管它是否来自某个典故，译文都必需使用另一种比喻角度。 "泥沼"一词是大陆读者能接受的比喻，与原文的比喻也有共通之处。 你的译文"哗众取宠"超出原文的"夸张"之意。 "歪风" 用得不错，但与原文的比喻方式无类似之处。 仅供参考。 |

Yet the leadership of the Chen Du Xiu Right-deviationist opportunist line within the Chinese Communist Party compromised and made concessions, and the great revolution failed. The enemy raised their butcher\'s knives, the Chinese Communist party was pushed into a pool of blood, 中国共产党被推入血泊 and many revolutionary martyrs shed their last drop of blood for China\'s revolution. (中国青年出版社\"祖国\"1981) |
