下面是英译汉翻译练习，希望考生认真做题。

Passage 2

In the 1990s，people are very aware of how bad things are. As a result，they completely ignore information about new developments and crises to prevent themselves from going "crazy".Today's leaders should therefor provide people with a sense that current problems are soluble(可以解决的). We need to break large-scale crises down to small manageable pieces rather than cause people to believe that the situation is even more complex and difficult that they thought. People need to believe that they can really do something within their own situation，and to do this，they must recognize that it is in their self-interest to change their behavior.

Passage2

在20世纪90年代，人们都非常清楚事情是那么糟糕。因此，他们对有关新的发展和危机的信息一概不予理睬，以免自己会"发狂"。因此，如今的领导人应当向人们灌输当前的问题是可以解决的这样一种意识。我们需要把大规模的危机分解为可处理的若干部分，而不要使人们认为，情况比他们想象的还要复杂和困难得多。人们应当相信，在他们自己的活动范围内，他们的确是能够有所作为的;为了达到这一目的，他们必须认识到，改变他们的行为方式，正是他们自身利益之所在。
