Part One Translation ( 75 Points) I.

No one who is dependent on anything outside himself, upon money, power, fame or whatsnot, is or ever can be secure. Only he who possesses himself and is content with himself is actually secure. 如果当代人最渴望的是安全感，那他们就不懂得什么是真正的、最大限度的安 全。一个人如果依赖的是身外之物，是金钱、权力、名誉之类的东西，那他就 不会感到安全，永远也不会。只有能自我克制，自我满意的人才会真正感到安 全。 4) Once inside a traditional Chinese courtyard, you are wrapped in an ambiance of calm beauty, an ordered world of buildings, pavement, rock, and decorative vegetation. But you have no distant view: nowhere does space open out before you, the only open space is the sky above. The Chinese is rooted in his place. 一进入中国人传统的小院，你就会置身于一种安静、优美的氛围之中，那房舍、 小径、石头、花草构成了一个井然有序的小天地。可是你看不到远处的风景：你 前面没有任何开阔的空间， 惟一开阔空间是头顶上的天空。 中国人扎根于他的场 所之中。 5) A small minority, mainly strangers, would look long at her in casually passing by, and grow momentarily fascinated by her freshness, and wonder if they would ever see her again; but to almost everybody she was a fine and picturesque country girl, and no more. 只有极少数人， 大半还是素不相识的人， 偶尔打她身边走过时， 会久久地注视她， 一时间被她的青春风韵所倾倒，心想不知道以后能不能再遇见她。不过，几乎在 每个人看来，她不过是一个标致如画的乡下姑娘而已。 第 2 页 共 4 页

II. Translate the following into English. (35 points, 7 points for each item) 1）他转而去看报上登载添丁得女、红白喜事的专栏。 He turned to the columns in which were announced the births, deaths and marriages. 2）这小伙子长相老实，看上去脾气又好，因此到处有人缘。 The little chap’s good natured honest face won his way for him. 3) 进入青年期，他工作了，他恋爱了。这时，他的口味已经由汽水转向了咖啡， 咖啡亦苦亦甜，也香也涩，有一种成熟的刺激感，符合他复杂多变的心境。 Youth sees him on a job and in love. Now soft drinks will give way to coffee which is bitter yet somewhat sweet, at once puckery and fragrant. It gives a stimulating sensation suggestive of maturity, appealing to him, as he is fickle and moody. 4) 因为受到了爱，认识了爱，才知道把爱分给别人，才想对自己以外的人做一些 事情。把我和这个社会联系起来的也正是这个“爱”字，这是我的全部性格的 根底。 As I had experienced love and come to know what is meant, I began so share it with others and often tried to do something for other people’s sake. Love---that is the root of my character. 5) 我国政府愿意在平等互利、 长期合作、 共同发展的基础上进一步加强与各国的 经济合作。 The Chinese government stands ready to further stengthen economic cooperation with other nations on the basis of equaility, mutual benefit, long term cooperation and common progress.
