1.the pages were larded with corrections and crossings-out.

那几页中满是更正和删除的记号。

2.The two main justifications for adding chips to passports are that they improve security at border crossings and speed up immigration procedures. Your correspondent thinks this is poppycock.

有两个主要说辞支持在护照中加入芯片：提高边口岸的安全性与加快入手续办理。刊记者认为这纯粹是胡扯。
