Its real cradle, however, was the drawing-rooms of the moderately free-thinking French nobility (1730-1789), especially those of Mme Necker and her daughter, Mme de Sta The latter was more than anybody else the connecting link between the free-thinking elements before and after the Revolution and the centre of the modern Liberal movement both in France and Switzerland.

NEXT week Henri Proglio will become the boss of EDF Group, the state-controlled French firm which is the world's biggest listed utility and operator of nuclear reactors. With its proud corporate culture, its devotion to long-term planning and its powerful unions (the Confédération Générale du Travail jointly runs the firm, in effect), EDF is sometimes described as a miniature version of France itself. Last year it began a vigorous campaign to build nuclear plants around the world. But to the dismay of advocates of a nuclear renaissance, the cost and complexity of embarking on several big projects at once is weighing on the firm, despite its size and government backing.

下周Henri Proglio将成为EDF集团的老板，EDF集团是国家控股的法国公司，它世界上在册的最大的公用事业和核反应堆运营商，考虑到EDF荣耀的企业文化、对远期计划的投入和强有力的联盟（实际上是由Confédération Générale du Travail联合运营该公司），有时它可以被看作是法国本身的微缩版，去年，她开始了一场强有力的遍布全球的核电厂的建设，但是令核能源复兴倡导者沮丧的是立刻着手几个大工程所需的花费和复杂程度给公司带来不少压力，尽管集团有相当的规模并拥有政府的支持。

But the opening quotation, seemingly so apt for morose France today, is not about that country at all.

开头的那段引语，尽管看似很切合于今天阴郁的法国，但其实说的根本不是法国。

The duke, therefore, having acquired the Romagna and beaten the Colonnesi, while wishing to hold that and to advance further, was hindered by two things: the one, his forces did not appear loyal to him, the other, the goodwill of France: that is to say, he feared that the forces of the Orsini, which he was using, would not stand to him, that not only might they hinder him from winning more, but might themselves seize what he had won, and that the king might also do the same.

因此，瓦伦蒂诺公爵在夺取罗马尼阿，打败科伦内家族之后，想要保有获得的地方并且继续前进，就遇到两重障碍：其一是，他自己的军队看来并不忠诚；其次是，法国的意愿，这就是说，他恐怕自己迄今利用的奥尔西尼家族的军队背弃他，这支军队不但可能阻碍他更有所获，甚至可能摆取他已经赢得的一切，他恐怕法国国王也可能是这样的一丘之貉。

So after the duke had acquired Romagna and beaten down the Colonna, two things prevented him from maintaining that and going further ahead: one, that his arms did not appear to him to be faithful; the other, the will of France: that is, the Orsini arms of which he had availed himself, might fail under him, and not only prevent him from acquiring but also take away what he had acquired; and the king might also do the same to him.

其一， 他的军队似乎并不忠于他；第二重障碍便是法国的意愿。这就是说，他所征借的奥尔西尼家族的军队很可能会反水，不仅会阻止他去攻城掠地，而且还会将他所占的地盘抢走；法王也会对他做出同样的事情来。他在攻占了法恩扎之后，便向波洛格纳发动袭击，他发现奥尔西尼家族对这次袭击态度冷漠，由此便检验出了彼家族对他的成见。至于法国国王，瓦伦蒂诺公爵也算看穿了他的心思。
