PART V TRANSLATION
SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH
Two persons, if with congenial taste or temper, would like to make friends and keep in contact with each other. Otherwise, even two friends would break their friendship, and cut off contact with each other. Among friends, who are more familiar to each other and have a closer relationship than any others, they cannot have no manners but keep ceremonious to each other. Otherwise, they will break their rapport and balance, and even destroy their friendship. Everyone in the world hopes that they have their own private spaces. If keeping anything at will between each other, they tend to enter their own private space, a no-go-area, which easily results in conflict and estrangement with each other. Keeping unceremonious, probably just a trifle, may bury a destructive seed for the friendship. The best way of keeping a close friendship is to keep temperate contacts with each other, and to make non-interference in each other.

我想那是五月里的一个星期天，复活节的星期天早晨，时间还早得很哩，我好像是站在自己的茅舍门前。摆在我眼前的正是从那个位置所能一览无余的景色，只不过像通常那样，梦的力量把它提高了，给它增添了庄严的色彩。那里还是同样的那些高山，脚下仍是同样的那些深谷，但那些山升得超过了亚平宁山的高度，而且在它们之间展开着更大的草场和林间草地；灌木围篱上长满了白色的玫瑰；连一个动物也看不到，除开在那片绿色的墓地里的那些长满青草的坟墓上，特别是在我心爱过的一个孩子的坟墓四周，有一些牛在静静地休息，正像我在小孩去世的那个夏天日出前不久所实际看到的一模一样。

Mobile Phones Make Students Less Humane
Recently, a professor of American University conducted a survey about college students’ attitudes towards phone calls and text messaging and finally he concluded that what the students like most about their phones i
s that they can reach other people and what they like least is that other people can reach them. This result is seemingly contradictory, but in fact, it faithfully portrays the dilemma faced by the students, who both aspire to and are fearful of communication. In my opinion, it is nothing but the very telephone itself that is largely responsible for making students less humane by depriving them of their adaptive capacity and social acceptability.
Originally speaking, adapbility of young people to new surroundings is one of their good qualities, but nowadays they would rather resort to old friends by phone calls and text messages than actively integrate into new circumstances. It seems quite fortunate for the freshmen to have telephone contact with their old friends when they feel unaccustomed to the unfamiliarity around. Yet, the truth is that telephones provide a shelter for them to shy away from the new environment as well as taking away their opportunities to make new friends. Thus, unable to foster their adaptive capacity, many of the college students would probably fail to adapt to new working conditions once they step into society.
What’s more, the short message makes the students unable to communicate well with others in the real world. As is known to all, the Short Message Service culture features ungrammatical structures and non-standard language, which totally differs from the oral expression, thus rendering the phone freak unable to communicate fluently in real daily life. On the other hand, since the students develop a habit of non-face-to-face communication by telephone, they are prone to social phobia because of poor oral expression and blushing face when they are in a real social context. Consequently, it is no wonder that many students turn to their telephones with an attempt to conceal their unnaturalness when they are at a dinner table or at a party.
In spite of all the adverse impact caused by the mobile phone, it is equally unwise to set a limit for the students on phone use. Anyway, it is a proven fact that the mobile phone plays an important role in our life. Therefore, in order to remove such embarrassing situation among the college students, the school authorities should offer appropriate guide about phone use and create a more positive and harmonious ambience for them, which is also beneficial for their future development.
