句子切分： Now there is in America a curious combination of pride /in having risen to a position /where it is no longer necessary to depend on manual labor for a living/ and genuine delight/ in what one is able to accomplish with one's own hands.

翻譯點撥： pride 在翻譯的時候可以轉譯為動詞，感到自豪，加上泛指主語人們

genuine delight 在翻譯的時候可以轉譯為動詞，感到由衷的高興加上泛指主語人們

what=something that

delight/ in something one is able to accomplish (that) with one's own hands

combination可以翻譯為結合，也可以結合語境翻譯為現象。

參考譯文：現在美國有一個奇怪的現象：人們一方面為地位上升不再需要靠體力勞動謀生而感到自豪，另一方面又對能夠親自動手做一些事而由衷地感到高興。
