往下翻，对对答案~~~

1. Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves.

public figure：公众人物

command：v. 掌握，控制

aspire to：渴望

译文：无论在演讲还是在写作上，美国人都不再期望公众人物在英语语言的使用上展现出技能和天赋；而公众人物自身也不渴求有这种语言驾驭能力。

2. John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.

liberal：adj. 自由的

conservative：adj. 保守的

triumph: n. 胜利

responsible for：是…的原因

decline：n. 衰退

译文：John McWhorter不仅是语言学家，还是一位混杂着自由派和保守派观点的善辩者，他认为， 20世纪60年代反文化运动的胜利是导致正式英语衰落的主要原因。
