The devastating floods and droughts that imposed a recurrent tax of suffering on the fellahin no longer occur.
参考译文为：过去不断给农民带来灾难的水旱灾害，现在不再发生了。
请问为什么没有把devastating和 a recurrent tax of 直译出来呢？
都有了：
devastating floods and droughts 水旱灾害 =【 造成（严重）灾害的旱涝】
a recurrent tax of suffering on... = 不断给...带来灾难（苦难）
