The grass-plot before the jail, in Prison Lane, on a certain summer morning, not less than two centuries ago, was occupied by a pretty large number of the inhabitants of Boston; all with their eyes intensely fastened on the iron-clamped oaken door.

Ⅲ. Analyze the following poem by William Wordsworth and elucidate how it illustrates Romanticism in poetic creation (20 points):
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wondered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of daffodils;
Beside the lakes, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin ora bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay.
In such a jocund company;
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

考试科目:翻译总分:40分
一、英译汉(20分)
Directions: Translate the following two paragraphs into Chinese, provide your translation below the original text. The time for this section is 20 minutes.
On Life
The most refined abstractions of logic conduct to a view of life, which, though startling to the apprehension, is, in fact. that which the habitual sense of its repeated combinations has extinguished in us. It stripes, as it were. the painted curtain from this scene of things. I confess that I am one of those who am unable to refuse my assent to the conclusions of those philosophers who assert that nothing exists but as it is perceived.
It is a decision against which all our persuasions struggle, and we must be long convicted before we can be convinced that the solid universe of external things is“such stuff as dreams are made of”. The shocking absurdities of the popular philosophy of mind and matter, its fatal consequences in morals, and their violent dogmatism concerning the source of all things, had early conducted me to materialism.
二、汉译英(20分)
Directions: Translate the underlined parts of the following into English. Write your translation below the original text. The time for this section is 20 minutes.
合作的利己主义
合作,任何形式的合作.都具有一定意义上的竞争。
举例来说:在谈判桌上,甲乙双方求同存异,表现出较好的合作精神;在合资企业,合同双方在很多问题上都很合作,即便是在领导与被领导之间,上下级间的合作也是显而易见的。
但是,当你透过这些合作的表面现象,你会发现某种型式上的竞争在暗暗进行;谈判的甲方或乙方心里都揣着一个想达到目标,为了实现这个目标,他们只能通过合作使对方尽量向自己的目标倾斜:合资企业的合同双方同过合作使自己获得目标利益:而在上下级之间,上级与下级的合作是为了赢得下级的合作,而下级与上级的合作是为了得到上级的肯定和赞赏,或其它的什么好处。
因此,这些合作在某种意义上都潜藏着一种叫利己主义的东西。
