在兽类中我最爱虎，在虎的故事中我最爱下面的一个。

深山中有一所古庙，几个和尚在那里过着单调的修行生活。同他们做朋友的，除了有时上山来的少数乡下人外，就是几只猛虎。虎不惊扰僧人，却替他们守护庙宇。作为报酬，和尚把一些可吃的东西放在庙门前。每天傍晚，夕阳染红小半个天空，虎们成群地走到庙门口，吃了东西，跳跃而去。庙门大开，僧人们安然在庙内做他们的日课，也没有谁出去看虎怎样吃东西，即使偶尔有一二和尚立在门前，虎们亦视为平常的事情，把他们看做熟人，不去惊动，却斯斯文文地吃完走开。如果看不见僧人，虎就发出几声长啸，随着几阵风飞腾而去。

When the Romantic Movement was still in its first fervor, it was a common matter of debate whether people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period, the dilemma was felicitously solved by the discovery, on the last page, that the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men who hoped for this denouement were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, while admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care that all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for example, by my maternal grandfather, who had a large number of romantic daughters, none of whom married badly.

In these days of psychology the matter no longer looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history.

光绪二十六年，八国联军攻占北京。慈禧太后弃城而走，一直逃到西安。和谈开始后，她并未马上返回北京。起初，外国列强的要求里面有一项是让慈禧太后退位，由光绪帝重新执掌朝廷。不过，在与李鸿章多次会谈后，他们放弃了这一要求。

第二年正式签署和约，随后过了一个月慈禧才终于从西安动身。她对外国人万分惧怕，正像她对国人无比傲慢一样。她在河南停留了很长一段时间，到了保定又逗留多日，好不容易才回到北京。据野史记载，在这漫长的旅途中还发生了一件趣事。一位地方官员送给慈禧一只猴子，她颇为高兴，竟下旨给那只猴子穿黄马

褂。后来太监报告说，有的官员发出了―人不如猴‖的感慨，慈禧这才发现自己的决定有些荒唐，于是又下旨给随行官员每人一件黄马褂。得到这殊荣之后，大家真不知道该感谢慈禧还是感谢那只猴子。

Sept.11 delivered both a shock and a surprise—the attack, and our response to it—and we can argue forever over which mattered more. There has been so much talk of the goodness that erupted that day that we forget how unprepared we were for it. We did not expect much from a generation that had spent its middle age examining all the ways it failed to measure up to the one that had come before—all fat, no muscle, less a reason to the world than a bully, drunk on blessings taken for granted.

It was tempting to say that Sept.11 changed all that, just as it is tempting to say that every hero needs a villain, and good needs evil as its grinding stone. But try looking a widow in the eye and talking about all the good that has come of this. It may not be a coincidence, but neither is it a partnership: good does not end evil, we owe no debt to demons and the attack did not make us better. It was an occasion to discover what we already were. ―Maybe the purpose of all this,‖ New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliami said at a funeral for a friend, ―is to find out America today is as strong as when we fought for our independence or when we fought for ourselves as a union to end slavery of as strong as our fathers and grandfathers who fought to rid the world of Nazism.‖ The terrorists, he argues, were counting on our cowardice. They’ve learned a lot about us since then. And so have we.

The University of London is a nonsectarian, co-educational, government-supported institution, located in London, England. It was founded in 1836 to meet the needs of a growing middle class who desired nonsectarian education in the arts, science, or medicine. Up to that time, the existing

universities of England had confined the awarding degrees generally to the members of the Church of England, and little emphasis had been placed on curriculum unrelated to theological studies. The university functioned as an examining body for other educational institutions until 1900 when it was reconstituted as a teaching as well as an examining institution. A distinctive feature of the university is its recognition or accreditation of a number of individual teachers in certain educational institutions not otherwise connected with the university with whom students may follow courses of instruction leading to a degree from the University of London. Today the institution is a vast system of colleges, institutes, and schools scattered throughout London and its environments. The main university center is located in the Bloomsbury section of London, near the British museum. The present faculties include those of arts, economics and political science, and theology. The main university library contains over 800 000 volumes with a special collection of Shakespeare and Elizabethan literature. Each school or institute also has its own library.

But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to its sweetness. I grudge every marriage in that it means a fresh supply of orange blossom, the promise of so much golden fruit cut short. However, the world must go on. With the orange we do live year in and year out. That speaks well for the orange. The fact is that there is honesty about the orange which appeals to all of us. If it is going to be bad-for the best of us are bad sometimes—it begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an innocent-looking apple is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no

一个王朝之所以覆灭衰败的结果，绝非单独事件所造成的。不过历史学者和史评家们常常挑出某些特定的事件，认为它们是导致旧朝代灭亡的主要原因。他们有时甚至声称，假若不是因为某件事，改朝换代就不会发生。清代就有不少学者把明朝的覆亡归咎于崇祯皇帝处决了他手下最具才干的大将袁崇焕。还有一种法说盛行于通俗作家之中，认为使异族入主华夏的罪魁乃是一位叫陈圆圆的美貌女子，而她不过是山海关统兵大帅吴三桂花一千两银子买来作妾的一位歌女而已。SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

On comparing notes with Moore, I was confirmed in one or two points which I had always laid down in considering poor Byron’s character. One was that like Rousseau he was apt to be very suspicious, and a plain downright steadiness of manner was the true mode to maintain his good opinion. Will Rose told me that once, while sitting with Byron, he fixed insensibly his eyes on his feet, one of which, it must be remembered, was deformed. Looking up suddenly, he saw Byron regarding him with a look of concentrated and deep displeasure, which wore off when he observed no consciousness or embarrassment in the countenance of Rose. Murray afterwards explained this, by telling Rose that Lord Byron was very jealous of having this personal imperfection noticed or attended to. In another point, Moore confirmed my previous opinion, namely, that Byron loved mischief making. Moore had written to him cautioning him against the project of establishing the paper called the Liberal, in communication with such men as P.B. Shelley and Hunt, on whom he said the world had set its mark. Byron showed this to the parties. Shelley wrote a modest and rather affecting expostulation to Moore. These two peculiarities of extreme suspicion and love of mischief are both shades of the malady which certainly tinctured some part of the characters of this mighty genius; and, without some tendency towards which, genius—I mean that kind which depends on the imaginative power—perhaps cannot exist to a great extent. The wheels of a machine, to play rapidly, must not fit with the utmost exactness, or else the attrition diminishes the impetus.

To be so distinguished, is an honor, which, being very little accustomed to fervors from the great, I know not well how to receive, or in what terms to acknowledge.

When, upon some slight encouragement, I first visited your Lordship, I was overpowered, like the rest of mankind, by the enchantment of your address; and could not forbear to wish that I might boast myself; that I might obtain that regard for which I saw the world contending; but I found my attendance so little encouraged, that neither pride nor modesty would suffer me to continue it.

Talent and prowess, the writer and what he writes, are apt to become fatally interwoven. The rewards are considerable. At the peak of his fame the successful novelist is rich, courted, photographed, and interviewed. His celebrity is international; for as with other products of a consumer economy, his work leaps across national boundaries, swiftly translated. He helps to set

styles in other countries. The shops in large airports may carry his latest book in two or three different languages. Paperback editions pro-long its life and increase his income. But his worries are also considerable. Though he may become neurotic about competition, the competition is real enough. He may round on his critics, or accuse his publishers of spending too little on advertisements. He may—with an engaging candor, in the case of Mailer—do his own advertising. But he is growing older; and the young are the arbiters whom he must please. He tends to become obsessed by youthfulness. Unless he has kept his head, or has exceptional talent, he tends to drop away, outmoded along with his brand of fiction, discarded like the partners and the pop singers who have also lost favor. It is a cruel process. The public is fickle, and treats yesterday’s idols with malice and animus, waiting to hear that they have hit bottom, taken to drink, or killed themselves.

Viewed from a star in some other corner of the galaxy, Earth would be a speck, a faint blue dot hidden in the blazing light of our sun.

While our neighbors Venus and Mars would reflect a fairly even glow, Earth would put on a little show. Earth’s light would brighten and dim as it spins, because oceans, deserts, forests and clouds—which are all too small to be seen from such a distance—reflect varying amounts of sunlight. The variations, it turns out, are so strong and distinctive that a surprising amount of information could be taken from a simple ebb and flow of light.

Scientists at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study conducted a detailed study of Earth’s reflections not for insights into an alien’s view of our home planet, but as a way for human scientists to learn about

distant planets that may be like our own. They are participating in the early planning for a NASA mission known as the Terrestrial Planet Finder, a space probe that will scan the skies for planets hospitable to life.

In a society that sees the role of medicine as prolonging life, death is often reduced to an incurable condition, an ―enemy‖. According to this view, acceptance of death can be seen as gloomy fatalism rather than clear-eyed realism.

These days, many people do not, and it may be that, as our religious faith has receded, so has our ability, as a society, to acknowledge death. As individuals, however, we have no choice. With or without faith, we must muddle along, finding meaning, or solace when we can. Carole Arbuckle says, ―A lot of dying people want to talk about what has kept them going. It can be religion, family, fast cars or fishing. There’s no dogma to it. Some see no meaning. That’s OK. I support that, too.‖

These days, death is often abstracted. We see hundreds of cartoon and movie deaths, and we remember the war dead, but, somehow, these ubiquitous images bring us no closer to understanding what it means to die. We have few words of that understanding, and perhaps that is as it should be. Even in a secular age, however, we need a space in our lives for an understanding of our own mortality to unfold.

David Dary’s The Santa Fe Trail is one tough trip into the history of the Old West, a straightforward narration extending from the early exploration of the southwest to today, based on accounts of what many accept as the ―truth‖ about an important part of United States history.

The author is an experienced enough guide when it comes to westering. His books are testimonials to a penchant for covering the biggest subjects in the most comprehensive way. But experience as an Old West historian, especially in New West times, isn’t everything.

The Santa Fe Trail is an epic subject. It is filled with dreams and disappointments, romance and myth, or as his book’s subtitle would have it, ―history, legends, and lore‖. But what is history?

One might assume that this will be a ―factual‖, realistic narrative of people, times, and places with some legends and lore as condiment. But the ―facts‖ here generally reflect the once-accepted dominant Anglo culture’s belief in Manifest Destiny and the realization of mercantile dreams. And the few attempts at recounting legends and lore often fall flat, given the lack of panache in the telling.

For travelers to Europe, from January 2002, there’s something special on offer besides all the usual sight. It’s the chance to be in on the end of an era, and the birth of a new currency. Yes, it’s good bye to the franc, the mark, drachma, peseta, lira and many of the other currencies which now confront visitors to Europe. They have all been replaced by the new euro.

While a little of the mystery of travel will vanish with them, the changeover promises a much simpler life for visitors to Europe. On December 31, 2001 a dozen members of European Union switched to the euro—a change which affects 300 million people. The euro currency has existed in abstract form since 1999, and is already used for che-que and credit card transactions. The next step was to make the move from the abstract to physical, by abandoning the old currencies and using the new euro notes to coins instead. Instead of having to change currency every time you visit a different country, and get familiar with a new set of coins and notes, you can now use the one currency throughout much of Europe—from Finland in the north to Italy in the south.

What I thought was called a widgeon is actually called a coot. I doubt I will ever, ever write a better sentence, thanks to those two obviously preposterous words—widgeon, coot which are the names of wetland birds common to a mild stretch of the Thames beside Port Meadow in Oxford. It’s good there. Quiet, fresh-aired. White swans swan around whitely. Long houseboats are covered in autumn leaves. But autumn is on its last legs, the trees are now as bare and hard as bones, something resembling the sun sits low in a white sky, and

twilight drops at 3:58 p.m.; darkness sets up shop about 20 minutes later-this is England in winter, quite possibly one of the wonders of the world.

I am a busy fellow, who has all sorts of matters to attend to, but I somehow often make the time to hoof down to Port Meadow—a bloody big paddock surrounded by thinwillows—by 3:58 p.m. At 3:58 p.m., a very fine mist, like dust, comes out of the ground and slowly, slowly softens everything up, makes the trees look vague and distant and shifty.

The high-tech revolution has inspired a seemingly endless stream of new and exciting electronic products that we just can’t live without. In fact, the dizzying s peed of technological innovation can make last year’s must this year’s junk. And that’s the problem. The average life span of a personal computer has shrunk to around 18 moths –and this has nothing to do with worn-out mice or damaged disk drives. Simply put, electronic products can become obsolete before you’ve even figured out how they work.

So what happens to all those old keyboards, monitors, organizers and CPUs? Most are stashed away in the attic or forgotten in a corporate warehouse, taking up valuable space. But many end up in landfills, and that is where the trouble really begins.

Computer monitors can contain up to 3.t kg of lead and can actually be considered hazardous waste once they are no longer in use. Circuit boards in

electronic products contain cadmium, chromium and mercury, all of which are toxic substances that can leach into groundwater if left in a landfill. Unfortunately, this disposal problem is not going to disappear anytime soon—in fact, it is growing by the minute. In Japan alone, consumers throw away some 20 million TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners each year. In Europe, six million metric tons of electrical and electronic equipment were generated in 1998 alone, and that volume is expected to increase three to five percent per year—which means by 2010 it could nearly double.

The last few years have not been tranquil in the United States. The peace seemingly restored in 1945 proved not to have been restored at all. Far from being able to relax and enjoy the fruits of victory, America faced more serious

and more intractable problems than ever before. But the prosperity was accompanied by acute tensions and divisions; and world leadership did not come easily to a nation that had so long prided itself on being exempt form the conflicts and alliances of the Old world. Intelligent Americans urged their fellow-countrymen to accept their new responsibilities. Less intelligent Americans sought a simple explanation for their problems. It was difficult for their problems. It was difficult for writers and other intellectuals, to maintain their dignity. Some claimed, a little exaggeratedly, that they were being persecuted: it became almost a point of pride, for some to insist that their telephones were being tapped. Others hastened to apologize in public for past errors in their thinking, others again, insensibly, abandoned their interest in political ideas in favor of a kind of apolitical conservatism. The national mood was nervous, aggressive, defensive and lost. Americans waked back nostalgically to the supposed certainties of the early Republic, or to the highly colored drama of the Civil War (the subject of score upon score of books), or to the informalities of the 1920s and the dedications of the 1930s.

Hard as this may be to believe, there was a time, early in the last century, when no savvy European (and few Americans) believed the Wright brothers had been the first to fly. How could two bicycle-building bumpkins possibly hav e gotten the drop on European’s top professors? Moreover, hardly anyone had seen the fly, since their experiments had been done in secret. But most important: a man had already flown.

Not just any man, either. He was part dandy, part sportsman, part inventor—a 27-year-old Brazilian multimillionaire who performed his flights for all of Paris (his adopted policy) to see. First he did it in dirigibles; then, in 1906, in an airplane—all of his own design.

Unlike the Wrights, who patented everything, he sought on private gain. He gave away designs free, paying costs out of his own deep pockets. Where the Wrights were taciturn and ascetic, he was witty and well-connected. He kept a table at Maxim’s.

He was Alberto Santos Dumont. Dumont had been obsessed with flight since his boyhood in Brazil. The youngest of seven children born to one of the country’s richest coffee barons, he read all of Jules Verne and grew up believing any problem could be solved by the right machine in the hands of the right operator.

曲曲折折的荷塘上面,弥漫的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，有袅娜地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵儿的；正如一粒粒的明珠，又如碧天里的星星。微风过处，送来缕缕清香，仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花儿也有一丝颤动，像闪电般，刹时传过荷塘的那边去了。叶子本身是肩并肩地密密地挨着，这便宛然有了一道凝聚的波痕。叶子底下是脉脉地流水，遮住了，不能见一些颜色；叶子却更见风致了。SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

The framer’s intent of setting up the American government will never be known for sure, but it is gathered that they preferred a republic over a democracy. In the constitutional convention the drafters had to decide how much power they would entrust with the people of the United States, and how much should be controlled by representatives. They chose to have Congress make the laws, and congress would be selected directly by the people. But another branch of government, the executive branch, needed a sole president and the framers had to decide how to choose this president. They choose from three main systems: select the president by Congress, the people, or electors.

Much debate was made over this topic in the constitutional convention and eventually the Electoral College system was chosen. The Electoral College system has been in place for over 200 years and Americans are still not sure how it works or if it is the best system. Many Americans feel they go to the polls every year and vote for the president, and in the long run they are in control of the fate of our executive branch. With the 1992 election it was clear that many people have little understanding for how a president is chosen; the 1992 election came close to having no majority of electors due to Ross Perot and his

third party. The Electoral College is just barely surviving and is under more and more attack all the time. Many other alternative systems will be discussed and the more important issue is how to bring about changes.

Yet if the only form of tradition, of handing down, consisted in following the ways of the immediate generation before us in blind or timid adherence to its successes, tradition should positively be discouraged. We have seen many such simple currents soon lost in the sand; and novelty is better than repetition. Tradition is a matter of much wider significance. It cannot be inherited, and if you want it you must obtain it by great labor. It involves, in the first place, the historical sense, which we may call nearly indispensable to anyone who would continue to be a poet beyond his twenty-fifth year; and the historical sense involves a perception, not only the pastness of the past, but of its presence; the historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of the literature of Europe from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order. This historical sense, which is a sense of the timeless as well as the temporal and of the timeless and of the temporal together, is what makes a writer traditional. And it is at the same time what makes a writer most acutely conscious of his place in time, of his contemporaneity.

Einstein said in 1945, ―Now everything has changed except our manner of thinking….We shall require a substantia lly new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.‖ Then, what leadership is required today? The first requirement is a new kind of leadership committed to a new manner of thinking.

Today we need a leadership that recognizes that the fundamental challenge in this nuclear hi-tech ear is one of psychology and education of the field of human relations. It is not the kind of problem that is likely to be resolved by expertise-even the sophisticated expertise of our most gifted military thinkers, who delight in exotic weapon systems and strategic doctrines. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures.

Since the 1960s, a lot of houses have been built in suburbs, far from the centers of large cities. While more and more people are working in and around big cities, most prefer not to live in city conditions. As the suburbs grow, the

city centers tend to become mainly places for business. Once an American has reached his home he is interested in working to improve it –making things, mending things, and working on the car—to make it as pleasant as possible. There is a strong desire to spend much free time at home when the home is well-equipped, comfortable and attractive; even the private swimming pool is mo longer reserved for the very rich.

But Americans are a restless people who are always ready to move. So, although they enjoy the life in the suburbs, they will by no means end their pursuit there. When his income rises as his career makes progress, he soon looks for a better house, in a better district, with more land, a better view, a bigger and finer swimming pool. He may be attached to the house which is home for the time being but this does not mean that he will put his roots there. Today’s job, today’s income, today’s friends and ne ighborhood: all these are part of an American’s (and his family’s) identity. Instant coffee, instant friends—but nothing is seen as permanent; an American hopes and expects to exchange them all for something better; and he finds no difficulty in identifying himself with the new.

There has been nothing more without a definition, than excellency; although it is what we are more concerned with, than anything else whatsoever; yet, we are concerned with nothing else. But what is this excellency? Wherein is one thing excellent, and another evil; one beautiful, and another deformed? Some have said that all excellency is harmony, symmetry, or proportion; but they have not yet explained it. We would know, why proportion is more excellent than disproportion; that is, why proportion is pleasant to the mind, and disproportion unpleasant? Proportion is a thing that may be explained yet further. It is an equality or likeness of ratios; so that it is the equality, which

makes the proportion. Excellency therefore seems to consist in equality. Thus, if there be two perfect equal circles, or globes, together, there is something more of beauty than if they were of unequal, disproportionate magnitudes. And if two parallel lines be drawn, the beauty is greater, than if they were obliquely inclined without proportion, because there is equality of distance.

I had no courage to tell mother about the idea until admitted to a normal school which provided free uniforms，books，room and board. To enter the school，I had to pay ten Yuan as a deposit. This was a large sum of money for my family. However，after two weeks' tough effort，mother managed to raise the money and sent me off to school in tears afterwards. She would spare no pains for her son to win a bright future. On the day when I was appointed the schoolmaster after graduation，mother and I spent a sleepless night. I said to her，"you can have a rest in the future." but she replied nothing，only with tears streaming down her face. 2013年 生活像一杯红酒，热爱生活的人会从中品出无穷的美妙。将它握在手中观察，它的暗红有血的感觉，那正是生命的痕迹。抿一口留在口中回味，它的甘甜有一丝苦涩，如人生一般复杂迷离。喝一口下肚，余香润人心肺，让人终受益。红酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好。当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封的好酒，其色彩是沉静的，味道中充满慷慨于智慧。 Life is like a cup of wine; people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it.

Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, the bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life, which is complicated and blurred. Once the sip is swallowed, the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind, leaving a person lifelong benefit. There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine: the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant. When life comes to twilight years, it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like a bottle of wine to be savored.

一、The old gentleman, however, seemed cheerful enough; and it was plain that he took an interest in the strangers, and wished to make their acquaintance. This was soon effected by the friendly waiter; and after a little talk the old man invited them to visit his villa and garden which were just outside the walls of the town. So the next afternoon, when the sun began to descend, and they saw in glimpses through door-ways and windows, blue shadows beginning to spread over the brown mountains, they went to pay their visit. It was not much of a place, a small, modernized, stucco villa, with a hot pebbly garden, and in it a stone basin with torpid gold-fish, and a statue of Diana and her hounds against the wall. But what gave a glory to it was a gigantic rose-tree which clambered over the house, almost smothering the windows, and filling the air with the perfume of its sweetness. Yes, it was a fine rose, the Conte said proudly when they praised it, and he would tell the Signora about it. And as they sat there, drinking the wine he offered them, he alluded with the cheerful indifference of old age to his love-affair, as though he took for granted that they had heard of it already. 译文： 然而,这位老先生看起来心情非常愉快;显然他对这两位陌生人很感兴趣，并愿意与他们结交.在热心的服务生的帮助下,他们很快相识了;短暂的交谈之后，老人便邀请他们去他城墙外不远的别墅与花园做客. 于是次日下午，夕阳西落,从开启的门窗轻轻瞥去,他们看到,兰色暗影已渐渐笼罩棕褐的山峦，他们便欣然动身。那里很平常,矗立着一座现代化小型别墅座，表面粉刷了一层灰泥。还有一座铺满鹅卵石的花园，园里石砌水池中有几尾金鱼慵懒地游动。靠墙的地方有一尊守猎女神及其猎犬的雕像。但是使这小园生辉的是一颗巨大的玫瑰树。树已长过屋顶，几乎完全遮住了窗户。空气中满是玫瑰的芳香。这株玫瑰的确不错，听了客人夸奖，伯爵得意地说。他还表示非常乐意把树的来历讲给夫人听。于是他们坐在那里，一边饮酒，一边听他以老年人满不在乎神情，愉快地提及他的那一段往日爱情，仿佛他相信他们对此一定早有耳闻 二、We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series. There is always a new horizon for onward-looking men, and although we dwell on a small planet, immersed in petty business and not enduring beyond a brief period of years, we are so constituted that our hopes are inaccessible, like stars, and the term of hoping is prolonged until the term of life.

letters of the French people that I saw when I was sojourning in Paris. In writing down those random reminiscences, I believe that they might provide some useful information for us to learn. In Paris, cocktail parties and buffet receptions of different kinds offer great opportunities for making friends. On such occasions, strangers may get to know each other. If they are Asians, they will, very respectfully and with both hands, present their calling cards to their interlocutors before any conversation starts. This seems to be the required courtesy on their part. The French, however, usually are not so ready with such a formality. Both sides will greet each other, and even chat casually about any topic and then excuse themselves. Only when they find they like each other and hope to further the relationship will they exchange cards. It will seem very unnatural to do so before any real conversation gets under way. The French tend to take extraordinary precaution in making their name cards, simple yet elegant. Exquisitely designed and printed, their name cards are seldom golden-framed, or colorfully shiny, or tinted with fragrant smells. The letters which appearing on their name cards tend to be diminutive but beautiful, not allowing the name of the card-bearer t be overly prominent / salient. The entire card leaves much empty space, imparting no sense of over-crowdedness.

1999年：In some societies people want children for what might be called familial reasons: to extend the family line or the family name, to propitiate the ancestors; to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals involving the family. Such reasons may seem thin in the modern, secularized society but they have been and are powerful indeed in other places. In addition, one class(一类) of family reasons shares a border（接壤、相近）with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy（使…忙（有事干）the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption（设想、假设consumption 消费）that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined（突出、显现）by its converse（反面、相反）: in some societies the failure to bear children（养孩子）(or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce. Beyond all that（除了这些）is the profound（深刻的、深远的）significance of children to the very institution（结构）of the family itself. To many people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family（完整的）—they need children to enrich the circle（丰富家庭生活、拓宽生活圈子）, to validate（使…有效）its family character（家族的特征、风格）, to gather（增加、集合）the redemptive（赎回的, 用于补偿的）influence of offspring. Children need the family, but the family seems also to need children, as the social institution（社会结构）uniquely（唯一）available, at least in principle, for （获得）security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing, often hostile world. To most people, such a home base, in the literal sense, needs more than one person for sustenance（生计）and in generational extension（家族的繁衍）. 【参考答案】另外，有一类家庭原因与下列类别不无共同之处，那就是：生儿育女要么是为了维系现有婚姻，提高婚姻质量，要么是为了拴住丈夫，使妻子有所事事，要么是为了修复婚姻，给婚姻注入新的活力，亦或是出于多子多福的观念而多生儿女。当然，我们也可以从问题的反面得到昭示：在某些社会，无法生育子嗣（或不能生育男孩）对婚姻而言是最大的威胁，也可作为夫妻分手的现成理由。 后代对家庭这一体制本身所具有的深远意义远非如此。在许多人看来，丁克家庭算不上真正的家庭。夫妻需要孩子来拓宽自己的生活圈子，实现家庭在传宗接代中的作用，并从子孙后代身上获取某种回报。在这个变幻莫测，常常不尽友善的世界上，家庭作为社会的基本单位，至少可在原则上，以其独特方式为家人提供安全保障，抚慰家人受伤的心灵，为家人指出生活方向，因此，孩子需要家庭，但与此同时，家庭也需要孩子。

2016专八真题翻译题及答案详解

2016年专八翻译题及答案详解 “流逝”表现了南国人对时间最早的感觉。子在川上曰：“逝者如斯夫。”他们发现无论是潺潺小溪，还是浩荡大河，都一去不复返，流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄，很自然有错阴的紧迫感。流逝也许是缓慢的，但无论如何缓慢，对流逝的恐惧使人们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时警戒后人，必须急匆匆地行动，给这个词灌注一种紧张感。 【参考译文1】 They have found that the flowing water,either a murmuring stream or a mighty river, passes quickly and never returns. With the passage of time, the young become the old and the green grass turns yellow. People naturallyhave a sense of urgency to value every bit of time. As time goes by,no matter how slowly it elapses, people always use the word “liushi” to warn thelater generations for fear of time’s flowing away. They tell their descendants to treasure every single minute and make a hurried action, which adds a sense of tension to the word. 【参考译文2】 They find that either a murmuring stream or a mighty river has gone forever and that the passage of time turns a young man into an old one, and yellows of the grass, which sends a massage of how time flies. Maybe the passing of time is slow. But no matter how slow it is, it makes people so fearful that they use “passage” to warn the later generations to rush. And the use of “passage” also infuses a sense of tension into the word. 【参考译文3】

20０7年英语专业八级考试翻译原题及参考答案 C－Ｅ：暮色中,河湾里落满云霞，与天际得颜色混合一起，分不清哪就是流云哪就是水湾。也就在这一幅绚烂得图画旁边，在河湾之畔,一群羊正在低头觅食。它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来,瞧一眼这美丽得黄昏。也许它们要抓紧时间,在即将回家得最后一刻再次咀嚼。这就是黄河滩上得一幕。牧羊人不见了，她不知在何处歇息.只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。这儿水草肥美,让它们长得肥滚滚得，像些胖娃娃.如果走近了，会发现它们那可爱得神情,洁白得牙齿,那丰富而单纯得表情。如果稍稍长久一点端详这张张面庞，还会生出无限得怜悯。 Besｉde tｈis pictuｒｅwithｐｒoｆuｓiｏnｓof colorｓ, a grｏup of sheｅp aｒe lｏwing tｈeir heads,ｅａｔing by ｔｈe riｖer bank、Hardly ｎone oｆｔｈｅｍwｏulｄspare sｏme timｅto raise their eyes tｏhａve a glaｎcｅat the bｅａutifｕｌdusk、Ｔhｅｙare, perhaps,takinｇuse oｆｅvery miｎuteｔo enjｏy ｔheｉr lasｔcｈew befoｒe bｅｉng drｉven home、This is a piｃtｕｒe ｏｆthe Yｅｌｌow River baｎk，iｎwhｉch the shepherd diｓapｐeａrs，ａnｄno onｅknoｗs where he is rｅｓｔｉｎg hｉmsｅlf、Only the ｓheep，ｈｏｗｅver,as free creatures，ａrｅ ｊoｙfullｙaｐｐreciating ｔhｅdｕsk、Tｈe exubeｒant wａte ｒpｌants ｈaｖe nｕｔritedｔｈｅshｅep, ｍaｋing ｔhem

最新英语专业历年专八翻译真题及答案

1997年:English to Chinese Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are inevitably the province（范围）of the rich unless we abdicate（退位、放弃）society’s power of choice. We can choose to make opera and other expensive forms of culture, accessible（易接近的，可达 到的）to those who cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? No body denies the imperatives（必要的）of food, shelter, defence, health and education. But even in a prehistoric cave, man-kind stretched out a hand of not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw. The impulse（冲动）towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation（表述、陈述）is fundamental. In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment （完成、成就）in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones（标准、试金石）for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire（立志、追求目标、 渴望）; they carry the most profound （深厚的、深刻 的）messages that can be sent from one human to another.
