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.

主干识别： there is a curious combination of pride and genuine delight

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.

翻译点拨： pride 在翻译的时候可以转译为动词，感到自豪，加上泛指主语人们

genuine delight 在翻译的时候可以转译为动词，感到由衷的高兴加上泛指主语人们

what=something that

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

combination可以翻译为结合，也可以结合语境翻译为现象。

参考译文：现在美国有一个奇怪的现象：人们一方面为地位上升不再需要靠体力劳动谋生而感到自豪，另一方面又对能够亲自动手做一些事而由衷地感到高兴。
