1.Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned.
阿玛杜.贾洛(Amadou Jallow)来自冈比亚，他22岁那年，热爱雷鬼音乐，虽然大学一毕业就找到了一份在高中教理科的工作，但他还是经不住诱惑，选择到欧洲寻梦。

按照第十五修正案的规定，爱尔兰于1995年废除了1937年《宪法》关于禁止离婚的规定。1995年，第十五修正案废除了1937年《宪法》中禁止离婚的条款。
解析：The prohibition on divorce是在1937年先颁布的，后于1995年被爱尔兰废除的，因此翻译时须调整语序，并可将repealed的被动语态转换翻译为主动语态，根据语境增译主语“爱尔兰”，故可译为“按照……规定，爱尔兰于1995年废除了1937年宪法关于禁止离婚的规定。”或者也可将第十五修正案提前作主语，译作“1995年，第十五修正案废除了1937年《宪法》中禁止离婚的条款。”
