Passage translation (120 points)Section A English to Chinese (60 points)Intelligent life on a planet comes of ages when it first works out the reason for its ownexistence. If superior creatures from space ever visit earth, the first question they will ask, in order to assess the level of our civilization, is: “Have they discovered evolution yet?”Living organisms had existed on earth, without ever knowing why, for over three thousand million years before the truth finally downed on one of them. His name was Charles Darwin. To be fair, others had had inklings of the truth, but it was Darwin who first put together a coherent and tenable account of why we exist. Darwin made it possible for us t give a sensible answer to the curious child whose question heads this chapter. We no longer have to resort to superstition when faced with the deep problems: Is there a meaning to life? What are we for? What is man? After posing the last of these questions, the eminent zoologist G. G. Simpson put it this: “The point I want to make now is that all attempts to answer that question before 1859 are worthless and that we will be better off if we ignore them completely.”Today the theory of evolution is about as much open to doubt as the theory that the earth goes round the sun, but the full implications of Darwin’s revolution have yet to be widely realized. Zoology is still a minority subject in universities, and even those who choose to study it often make their decision without appreciating its profound philosophical significance. Philosophy and the subjects known as “humanities”are still taught almost as if Darwin had never lived. No doubt this will change in time. In any case, this book is not intended as a general advocacy of Darwinism. Instead, it will explore the consequences of the evolution theory for a particular issue. My purpose is to examine the biology of selfishness and altruism.Section B Chinese to English (60 points)总部设在德克萨斯州的全球语言监测机构运用一套数学公式来追踪词和短语的使用频率。

Passage Translation (120 points)Section A English to Chinese (60 points)Love Is Not Like Merchandize Sydney J. HarrisA reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, “If I steal a nickel’s worth of merchandize, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of another man’s wife, I am free.”This is a prevalent misconception in many people’s minds ―that love, like merchandize, can be “stolen”. Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for “alienation of affections”.But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.When a husband or wife is “stolen”by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The “lovebandit”was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of children “belonging”to their parents. But nobody “belongs”to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has the right to remove them from their parents’trusteeship.Many of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken away from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder―but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that “caused”the break, but the lack of a real relationship.On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a “third party”. This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has “come between”oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captive of victims of others―they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him―and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any “third party”has appeared on the scene.参考译文:佛罗里达州的一位读者虽然是在个人经历上受过创伤, 他写信来抱怨道: “如果我偷走了五分钱的商品, 我就是个贼, 要受到惩罚, 但是如果我偷走了他人妻子的爱情, 我没事儿。

Though our lives are finite, our deeds on earth weave a timeless pattern.6.Life is a process. During the process, we should hold fast to life, but not so fastthat we cannot let go; we must accept our losses, and learn how to let go.7.According to the author, we should pursue the ideal, for ideals alone invest lifewith meaning and are of enduring worth.8.Alexander Schindler encourages the students to exalt above their personalconsiderations and to perfect the present world.9.There is strong religious color in the text. Alexander Schindler asks us to hold fastto God’s gifts, to be reverent before each dawning day, to view our lives as through windows that open on eternity, and to add religion to the humblest of edifices.10.The author delivers this speech to the university students in order to teach themhow to cope with life’s paradoxical problems in a wise way, and what to pursue.
