1、专业英语八级英译汉(论说文类)强化练习试卷 3及答案与解析 SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese. 1 The men of history were not perpetually looking into the mirror to make sure of their own size. Absorbed in their work they did it. They did it so well that the wondering world saw the
2、m to be great, and labeled them accordingly. To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes a man strong. “Eternal vigilance,“ it has been said, “is the price of liberty. “ With equal truth it may be said, “ Unceasing effort is the price
3、 of success. “ If we do not work with our might, others will; and they will outstrip us in the race, and pluck the prize from our grasp. Success grows less and less dependent on luck and chance. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. The great and indispensable help to success is charac
4、ter. Character is crystallized habit, the result of training and conviction. Every character is influenced by heredity, environment and education. But these apart, if every man were not to a great extent the architect of his own character, he would be a fatalist, an irresponsible creature of circums
5、tances. 2 Journalists and TV people, we know, are supposed to record what goes on; but in trying to get the best record they can, they may sometimes seem amazingly cold-blooded. In the massacre that followed the British quitting India, there was a photographer who made a sorrowing Indian family bury
6、 and rebury its dead several times till he got a perfect shot. A BBC sound man held up a Nigerian execution for half an hour while he adjusted his sound equipment. You could say it didnt make any difference to the final outcome, but it doesnt make you feel especially warm towards the man concerned.
7、Should these journalists and photographers join in, or just stand back and watch while people kill one another? Its a tricky ethical question, not just a matter of how brave anyone is feeling at the time; because without authentic pictures, how will the world know, how should the world believe what
8、atrocities are committed? One dead photographer does not do much for the cause he cares about, even if he did feel compelled to weigh in and take sides. 3 Thus far, our holiday has been simply a friendly sign of the survival of the love of letters amongst a people too busy to give to letters any mor
9、e. As such it is precious as the sign of an indestructible instinct. Perhaps the time is already come when it ought to be, and will be, something else, when the sluggard intellect of this continent will look from under its iron lids and fill the postponed expectation of the world with something bett
10、er than the exertions of mechanical skill. Our day of dependence, our long apprenticeship to the learning of other lands, draws to a close. The millions that around us are rushing into life, cannot always be fed on the mere remains of foreign harvests. Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that
11、will sing themselves. Who can doubt that poetry will revive lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the polestar for a thousand years? 4 Honesty is not a problem only in the sphere of our social engagements. Hon
12、esty is also important psychologically, as regards our feelings about ourselves. Here the important question is: Can I be honest with myself? We exhibit an amazing agility in avoiding the truth about who we are and what we do. Our failures in being honest with ourselves are instances of self-decepti
13、on. And all of us are, have been, or could be self-deceivers. We are prone to it, capable of it, and never more likely to be in its grip than in those moments when we are sure we are not. As people of faith, we are called to be honest in our dealings with God, with others and with ourselves. Self-de
14、ception can disrupt all of those relations. It is therefore appropriate to consider what self-deception is and how our faith tradition has attempted to enlighten us, to “build us up“ , so that we might be able to respond to its threat. 5 Its an odd paradox; thanks to cell phones, PDAs and the Intern
15、et, weve never before been in touch and within reach of so many people. And yet, weve never been so lonely, either. Which is to say, our loneliness is largely something weve inflicted on ourselves through countless lifestyle choices, many of them good, some even critical. But in the end, is it all w
16、orth it? What is lost when we have e-mail pals on the other side of the world, but dont know our own neighbors? Are bigger salaries, bigger cars, bigger homes worth the price of smaller social circles and diminished relationships? Our loneliness has costs; crime goes up when neighbors dont look out
