【今日长难句】
Creating a “European identity” that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice — that of producing programs in Europe for Europe.
【句子分段】
Creating a “European identity” || that respects the different cultures and traditions || which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent || is no easy task and demands a strategic choice — || that of producing programs in Europe for Europe.
【句子结构】
1）主干：Creating a “European identity” is no easy task and demands a strategic choice.
2）that respects the different cultures and traditions 为定语从句，修饰European identity; 该从句内嵌套定语从句which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent修饰different cultures and traditions
3）最后that of producing programs in Europe for Europe 对choice 进行说明，that 指代choice。
【翻译技巧】
当从句特别多，尤其是从句套从句的时候，从句作为修饰成分，一般建议将从句单独处理成句子，并根据汉语意思在理解和翻译时顺序适当调整语序。很多同学翻译不成人话的根源在于：逐字翻译，死板的按照英文原文单词的意思进行堆砌。

European identity 欧洲认同；欧洲品牌
fabric n. 织物；布；组织；构造；建筑物

【参考翻译】
Creating a “European identity” that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice — that of producing programs in Europe for Europe.
译文1：
创造一种“欧洲认同”绝非易事而且需要战略性选择。这种“欧洲认同”要尊重将旧大陆编织成一个整体的不同文化和传统。战略性选择就是在欧洲制作出适合欧洲的节目。
译文2：
不同的文化和传统把欧洲大陆编织成一体，要创造出一种尊重这些不同文化和传统的“欧洲品牌”绝非易事，它需要一个战略性选择：在欧洲制造出适合欧洲的节目。
