this is the world out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear.

參考答案:

要點：該句中的定語從句out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear為全部倒裝。主語the hope of a society因其定語where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear過長，所以置于動詞grows之后。由于定語從句out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society與主句關(guān)系密切，所以采用融合法將this is the world out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society譯成一個單句。where引導(dǎo)的定語從句太長，可用后置法譯成一個單句。

譯文：這是歷史上首次出現(xiàn)的一個給人以希望的世界。在這個世界上有希望誕生一個沒有貧困、沒有恐懼的社會。
