Despite that obstacle, there is a movement among Tibetans for him to become an acting leader when the Dalai Lama dies, in part because any replacement would probably be too young to lead immediately.
这一句我有些困难：除了这个障碍外，当达赖喇嘛去世时，藏人间会有一场运动需要他来做行动领袖，部分是因为任何继任都可能会太年轻而不能立即担当起来。
主要是in part becaurse和replacement没能完全理解，恳请解答一二。
“soy and granola”是“豆制品和麦片”，代表“素食”、“素食主义”。在西方，吃素的可不是“底层”，而几乎都是精英。“suburbanites”是“郊区人士”（“-ite”为“人士”），即“白领阶层”，因为美国的白领大多住在郊区。郊区都是小别墅，而且没有公交，需要自己开小车，穷人哪里住得起。
“in part because”是“部分原因是”，即还有其它原因，但因为不那么重要所以不作进一步讲述。“replacement”指的是下一任达赖喇嘛，即转世灵童。“despite”不是“除了”，而是“虽然”。“movement”指的不是“藏独”运动，而是力推噶玛巴接任达赖的运动。“acting leader”是“执行领袖”，区别于“名义领袖”（名义上黄白两教是平等的，两位喇嘛本无高低之分）。
请教墨羽老师：

经济学人一篇文章中有这么一句话。
第四段：
Indeed, one of the Hong Kong legislators turned away on March 15th is general secretary of an umbrella union group.
这里的secretary是什么意思？这句话该如何翻译？

谢谢！
这是文中提到的书名：
Japan the Tremendous,
Japan’s Expanding Diplomatic Horizons，怎样翻译比较好一点。
这个短语如何理解：“fount of moral lessons”
Aso has infuriated Koreans by defending Japan’s colonial rule and insisting that Koreans had voluntarily requested Japanese names. He has also described contemporary Chinese military spending as a “considerable threat” and expressed his desire for Japan’s emperor to visit Yasukuni shrine.
The Aso company line on World War II resembles the revisionist narrative being advanced by Yasukuni’s controversial history museum, which seeks to justify Japan’s colonial rule and military aggression. Aso opined as leader of Japan’s diplomatic corps—and before the most offensive exhibits were toned down—that the Yasukuni museum “merely shows what the wartime situations were."

在这篇文章中，hyper-power这个词该怎样理解，如这句A state, which is a candidate for the role of a hyper-power, would not be investing billions into the treasury bonds of another state.中这个短语该怎么解读？
Like many other offshore financial centres and tax havens, it has come under intensifying pressure from governments keen to root out tax dodgers at a time when the global economic crisis is shrinking their revenues and forcing expenditure sky-high.
Each cannot resist the temptation to cuddle up to Beijing in the hope it will be adopted as “China’s favourite European”

这段话里有个 cuddle up ，字典显示意思是，蜷缩睡觉，也有拥抱的意思，是否可以翻译为依偎；另adopted是收养的意思，这句话这样翻译：他们中的每个都难以抵御这种诱惑：依偎在北京身边，希望自己可以作为“中国倾心的欧洲人”而被收养，可以吗？
a white-hot bestseller that is as controversial here as I've found it to be accurate in a week-long canvassing of this country's increasingly important growing pains
with the bulk of commentary as scathingly critical of the authors' long-term vision of China's superpower-dom as the book is of American leadership.
So bring on da' noise (populism) if you wanna bring on da' funk (progressivism). And then get yourself a bevy of Teddy Roosevelts, Upton Sinclairs, and suitably self-righteous civic groups to drive the much-needed makeover
All Things Considered, May 4, 2009 ·
这个all things considered，从各方面考虑起来，为什么会放在文章之首，这个不太理解。
It says something about the central government's commitment to this project that He has been sent to Beichuan, all the way from Beijing, 1,000 miles away.
据说是中央政府委派他到北川的，自1000英里外的北京远道而来。
这一句，不知翻得对不对。project 是单指他被派到北川工作么？
