广外翻译专业英译汉练习3(附参考译文)Golden Fruit

HateSuddenly the war was over, and Hitler was captured and brought to Amsterdam. A military tribunal condemned him to death. But how should he die? To shoot or hang him seemed too quick, too merciful. Then someone uttered what was in everybody’s mind: th e man who caused such incredible suffering should be burned to death.“But,” objected one judge, “our biggest public square in Amsterdam holds 10,000 people, and 7,000,000 Dutch men, women and children will want to be there to curse him during his dying m oments.”Then another judge had an idea. Hitler should be burned at the stake, but the wood was to be ignited by the explosion of a handful of gunpowder set off by a long fuse which should start in Rotterdam and follow the main road to Amsterdam by way of Delft, The Hague, Leiden and Haarlem.Thus millions of people crowding the wide avenues which connect those cities could watch the fuse burn its way northward to Herr Hitler’s funeral pyre.A plebiscite was taken as to whether this was fitting punishment. There was 4, 981, 076 yeas and one nay. The nay was voted by a man who preferred that Hitler be pulled to pieces by four horses.At last the great day came. The ceremony commenced at four o’clock on a June morning. The mother of three sons who had been shot by the Nazis for an act of sabotage they did not commit set fire to the fuse while choir sang a solemn hymn of gratitude. Then the people burst forth into a shout of triumph.The spark slowly made its way from Rotterdam to Delft, and on toward the great square in Amsterdam. People had come from every part of the country. Special seats had been provided for the aged and the lame and the relatives of the murdered hostages.Hitler, clad in a long yellow shirt, had been chained to the stake. He preserved a stoical silence until a little boy climbed upon the pile of wood surrounding the former Fuhrer and placed there a placard which read, “This is the world’s great est murderer.” This so aggravated Hitler’s pent-up feeling that he burst into one of his old harangues.The crowd gaped, for it was grotesque sight to see this little man ranting away just as if he were addressing his followers. Then a terrific howl of derision silenced him.Now came the great moment of the day. About three o’clock in the afternoo n the spark reached the outskirts of Amsterdam. Suddenly there was a roll of drums. Then, with an emotion such as they had never experienced before, the people sang the Willhelmus, the national anthem. Hitler, now ashen-gray, futilely strained at his chains.When the Willhelmus came to an end, the spark was only a few feet from the gunpowder; five more minutes, Hitler would die a horrible death. The crowd broke forth to a shout of hate. A minute went by. Another minute. Silence returned. Now the fuse had only a few inches to go. And at the moment the incredible happened.A wizened little man wriggled through the line of soldiers standing guard. Everybody knew who he was. Two of his sons had been machine-gunned to death by the parachute troops; his wife and three daughters had perished in Rotterdam’s holocaust. Since then, the poor fellow had seemed deprived of reason, wandering aimlessly about and supported by public charity --- an object of universal pity.But what he did now made the crowd turn white with anger. For he deliberately stampedupon the fuse and put it out.“Kill him! Kill him!” the mob s houted. But the old man quietly faced the menacing populace. Slowly he lifted his both arms toward heaven. Then in a voice charged with fury, he said: “Now let us do it all over again!”仇恨战争突然停止了。

广东外语外贸大学2003年硕士研究生入学考试英语写作与翻译Task 1: Summary Writi ng (40%)Directions:Read carefully the following passage and summarize its contents in 100-120 words. Note that you must not copy complete sentences directly from the orig in al. Failure to do so would in cur deduct ion of your scores.PassageKilli ng for SportIt wouldn 'be quite true to say that some of my best friends are hunters. 〞Still, I do number among my respected acquaintances some who not only kill for the sake of killing but count it among their kee nest pleasures. And I can think of no better illustrati on of the fact that men may be separated at some point by fathomless abyss yet share elsewhere much com mon gro und. To me, it is incon ceivable that anyone can think an ani mal more in teresti ng dead tha n alive, I can also easily prove, to my own satisfact ion, that killi ng for sport "is the perfect type of that pure evil for which metaphysicia ns have sometimes sought.Most wicked deeds are done because the doer proposes some good for himself. The liar lies to gain some end; the swin dler and the thief want things which, if hon estly got, might be good in themselves. Eve n the murderer is usually remov ing some impedime nt to no rmal desires. Though all of these are selfish or un scrupulous, their deeds are not gratuitously evil. But the killer for sport seems to have no such excusable motive. He seems merely to prefer death to life, darkness to light. He seems to get nothing other tha n the satisfacti on of say ing: Somethi ng which wan ted to live is dead. Because I can bring terror and agony, I assure myself that I have power. Because of me there is that much less vitality, con scious ness and perhaps joy in the uni verse. I am the spirit that deni es." When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man, we call him Van dal." When he wantonly destroys one of the works of God, we call him Sportsma n.〞The hunter-for-food may be as wicked and as misguided as vegetarians sometimes say, but he does not kill for the sake of killi ng. The ran chers and the farmers who exterm in ate all livi ng things not immediately profitable to them may sometimes be worki ng aga inst their own best in terests; but whether they are or not, they hope to achieve some supposed good by the exterm in ati on s, if to do evil, not in the hope of gain but for evil 's sake, in volves the deepest guilt by which man can be sta in ed, the n killi ng for killi ng 's sake is a terrify ing phe nomenon and as stro ng a proof as we could have of the reality of evil " with which present-day theologians are again concerned.Task 2: Interpretation of Graphical Information and essay writing (60%) Directions:The relati on ship betwee n the degree of participatio n in physical exercises duri ng senior high school years and academic achievements after graduation is investigated.

Golden Fruit （A. A. Milne ）Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer's shop. On the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on two prunes and a piece of rhubarb, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and raspberries and gooseberries riot together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold its own. Bread and butter, beef and mutton, eggs and bacon, are not more necessary to an ordered existence than the orange.It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health-giving, as that it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent substitute with the young for a cricket ball. The pips can be flicked at your enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to its sweetness. I grudge every marriage in that it means a fresh supplyof orange blossom, the promise of so much golden fruit cut short. However, the world must go on.Next to the orange I place the cherry. The cherry is a companionable fruit. You can eat it while you are reading or talking, and you can go on and on, absent-mindedly as it were, though you must mind not to swallow the stone. The trouble of disengaging this from the fruit is just sufficient to make the fruit taste sweeter for the labour. The stalk keeps you from soiling your fingers; it enables you also to play bob cherry. Lastly, it is by means of cherries that one penetrates the great mysteries of life--when and whom you will marry, and whether she really loves you or is taking you for your worldly prospects. (I may add here that I know a girl who can tie a knot in the stalk of a cherry with her tongue. It is a tricky business, and I am doubtful whether to add it to the virtues of the cherry or not.)There are only two ways of eating strawberries. One is neat in the strawberry bed, and the other is mashed on the plate. The first method generally requires us to take up a bent position under a net--in a hot sun very uncomfortable, and at any time fatal to the hair. The second method takes us into the privacy of the home, for it demands a dressing-gown and no spectators. For these reasons I think the strawberry an overrated fruit. Yet I must say that I like to see one floating in cider cup. It gives a note of richness to the affair, and excuses any shortcomings in the lunch itself.Raspberries are a good fruit gone wrong. A raspberry by itself might indeed be the best fruit of all; but it is almost impossible to find it alone. I do not refer to its attachment to the red currant; rather to the attachment to it of so many of our dumb little friends. The instinct of the lower creatures for the best is well shown in the case of the raspberry. If it is to be eaten it must be picked by the hand, well shaken, and then taken.When you engage a gardener the first thing to do is to come to a clear understanding with him about the peaches. The best way of settling the matter is to give him the carrots and the black currants and the rhubarbfor himself, to allow him a free hand 放手处理with the groundsel （千里光）and the walnut trees核桃树, and to insist in return for this that you should pick the peaches when and how you like. If he is a gentleman he will consent. Supposing that some satisfactory arrangement were come to, and supposing also that you had a silver-bladed pocket-knife with which you could peel them in the open air, then peaches would come very high in the list of fruits. But the conditions are difficult.Gooseberries burst at the wrong end and smother you; melons--as the nigger boy discovered--make your ears sticky; currants, when you have removed the skin and extracted the seeds, are unsatisfying; blackberries have the faults of raspberries without their virtues; plums are never ripe. Yet all these fruits are excellent in their season. Their faults are faults which we can forgive during a slight acquaintance, which indeed seembut pleasant little idiosyncrasies in the stranger. But we could not live with them.Yet with the orange we do live year in and year out. That speaks well for the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals to all of us. If it is going to be bad-- for even the best of us are bad sometimes --it begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an innocent-looking apple is harbouring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you can tell the shopman so before he slips itinto the bag.黄金水果一年四季的水果中，我最爱橘子。

2021年上半年英语三级笔译（CATTI 3) 实务考试真题及参考译文Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Are you having difficulty following diets? Our lives are way more complex than those which allow us to stick to a monotonous restrictive diet.Food psychologist Ridhi Golechha said, "If all of us could follow diets, we'd all have reached our goals. Real-life stresses such as lockdown anxiety, relationship conflicts,workload, financial stresses, exasperating parenting, and so much more directly impact how we feel and by virtue, what we eat. If, on paper, diets were so easy to follow, then we'd all be part of that tiny ten percent of people in the word (athletes, models, or actresses) - who are permanently fit.We all know of those rough days when all we want is to drown our faces in a tub of ice cream or reach out for that melting chocolate cake. "Emotional eating is nothing but eating our emotions. We're all human with emotions and hunger. By that definition, all of us are emotional eaters, we turn to food when we're overwhelmed with anger, sadness, frustration, or any other significant emotion!" explained Ridhi.There's a reason why the butterfly comes back to suck sweet nectar from the flowers, in turn pollinating the rest of the garden. Humans, much like animals, birds,and insects, are hardwired for pleasure. But here's the catch: we humans are afraid of receiving pleasure. Many fear that if they allow themselves to eat a slice of cheesy pizza, they'll be overwhelmed with pleasure, lose control, and end up finishing the whole pizza.We fear this would result in a failed diet, we light gain, and massive guilt, so we avoid it altogether. But it doesn't work."Biology suggests otherwise. Like every other species:homo sapiens were also built for survival. It is pleasure that drives humans to repeat the feel-good behaviour endlessly," explained Ridhi.When does emotional eating become worrisome? "Largely, there's nothing wrong with that. We do eat to manage and cope with our feelings, especially those that don't feel so good because eating itself is so biologically rewarding. It's completely okay ifwe're doing it once in a while, because as I said we're all evolutionary wired to emotional eating. However, if we're constantly depending on food to swallow our difficult emotions and discomforts, leaving us with a feeling of guilt constantly at the end of it, then definitely, we need to work on it," said Ridhi.What can we do to reduce emotional eating? According to Rldhi, the reason we fall diets is that we try to fight biology and suppress our emotions, which only works temporarily. To make long-lasting changes, we must address the root causes of emotional eating. Here are a few tips to get you started:First, don't skip meals. Starving often confuses your biological hunger drives and makes you more vulnerable to eating your emotions. Second, understand the difference between actual physical hunger versus emotional hunger. Third, make a list of the top three emotions you feel weekly and start finding different ways to cope with them. Fourth, talk to an expert. It's better not to ignore your emotional eating since it can later cause health issues like bloating, acid and constipation, etc. Fifth, go for a walk or do something completely different that will take away your urge by distracting you momentarily.Emotional eating is a message that reveals a deeper problem. Understanding yourself and the way you eat can address the root causes and enable you to live a life that is beyond food obsessions and the fear of failing your diets.【参考译文】：你是否很难坚持规律饮食?生活十分复杂，让我们很难坚持单一且有节制的饮食规律。

He was a man of fifty, and some, seeing that he had gone both bald and grey, thought he looked older. But the first physical impression was deceptive. He was tall and thick about the body, with something of a paunch, but he was also small-boned, active, light on his feet. In the same way, his head was massive, his forehead high and broad between the fringes of fair hair; but no one’s face changed its expression quicker, and his smile was brilliant. Behind the thick lenses, his eyes were small and intensely bright, the eyes of a young and lively man. At a first glance, people might think he looked a senator. It did not take them long to discover how mercurial he was. His temper was as quick as his smile; in everything he did his nerves seemed on the face. In fact, people forgot all about the senator and began to complain that sympathy and emotion flowed too easily. Many of them disliked his love of display. Yet they were affected by the depth of his feeling. Nearly everyone recognized that, though it took some insight to perceive that he was not only a man of deep feeling, but also one of passionate pride.他五十岁，头秃了，头发也花白了，人们觉得他不止五十岁。

You’ve Changed John J. RyanDon West had seen her wave and he came walking across the station toward her, a quizzical, surprised look on his tanned face.“Well, well, ” he said, with the same rugged smile. “What a nice surprise, ah… Jeanne.”She smi led in return. “Don West, you haven’t changed a bit.”It was true, a few pounds heavier, a little older, but the same Don West she had fallen in love with long ago --- and never quite got over.He stood back a way and looked down at her, his blue eyes crinkling at the corners. No use kidding herself, she thought, and say it had all been a kid crush. She still got weak just looking at him.“Jeanne,” he said. “Jeanne. You look good enough to eat.” He sighed and then frowned handsomely. “You don’t know how swell it is to see you. I’ve wondered so many times whatever became of you.”She hesitated for a moment, about to say something, but then she changed her mind. He took her arm and steered her expertly towards the cocktail lounge. But then he always had done things expertly, particularly where women were concerned.He settled back and studied her. “You do look different. You really have changed, Jeanne. But you’re lovelier, so much lovelier.”“Don,” she said softly, “it’s really been quite a long time since ’varsity.”He lit a cigarette. “I know, Jeanne. I enlisted right after I got my degree. It’s been some time, all right. But say, remember the ball and The Blue Danube? Remember that? ”She kept her eyes on her drink. She didn’t dare look up.“I heard it just the other day, Jeanne, and I thought of you --- couldn’t stop thinking of you, either.” He took her hand.“L ook, Jeanne, I’ve got a business appointment. I’ve just come in from the south, but I’ll be free by dinner time.”She glanced up now and his eyes were saying tender things.“Jeanne, it will be just like it was, just like that night at the ball. Just the two of us. Let’s make it seven o’clock at my hotel for diner.”He pressed her hand hard, didn’t wait for an answer. She watched him walk out the door.She knew that Don West would never change --- would never be quite an honest person. But the way she loved him wouldn’t change either. There was no mistaking the way he had looked at her. Don could be hers.Only she wouldn’t be there at seven, mostly beca use she had never been to the ball at ’varsity. She had never even had a date with Don. He was the rugby hero admired from afar.And, besides, her name wasn’t Jeanne.初秋年轻的时候，比尔和一个女人共坠爱河。

黄金水果一年四季的水果中，我最青睐橘子。

首先它是常年都有的，虽然在现实中不是这样的，至少在果蔬店是这样的。

有一段时间，一把巧克力和一些姜片被当作甜点，一些干梅和一片大黄制成水果沙拉。

橘子不管多么的酸，都会拯救局面。

在那些日子里，大量的樱桃草莓山梅醋栗堆积在桌子上，但是橘子是前所未有的甘甜，并且保持着自己的风采。

在我们井然有序的生活中，橘子比黄油面包羊肉牛肉和鸡蛋咸肉更有必要。

最普通的水果也会是最好的，对于橘子的优点说也说不完，它有健康所需要的物质，因为它能治愈感冒，改善面色。

它是干净的，不管谁用什么办法把它拿到桌子上都只能剥去他的表皮，它最外层的表皮会被丢在大厅里。

它是圆的，对于玩板球的年轻人来说是一种极好的替代物。

它的籽儿可以攻击你的敌人并且一小片果皮能让一个老人摔倒。

但是所有的这些与橘子宜人的味道相比都不算什么，我不能控制自己，被橘子的甘甜吸引。

我吝惜每一场婚礼，因为它意味着些新鲜橘子花的供应，那么如此多的黄金水果的供应量就会减少，但是生活还得继续。

橘子伴随着我们年复一年的生活。

橘子是好的，事实上有一个关于橘子吸引我们所有人的真相。

如果橘子变坏了——因为我们中最好的人也会犯错。

它从外表开始变坏而不是里面。

有多少外表光鲜的梨果肉已经腐烂。

有多少外表光鲜的苹果果肉已经长满了蠕虫。

但是橘子没有不为人知的秘密，它的外表反映它的内心，如果你足够迅速，那么就能在水果店老板把坏的橘子偷偷放进你的袋子之前发现。

翻译报告我们小组成员提前从图书馆出来一个多小时，回到宿舍讨论，对于这篇文章我们的理解还算一致，都认为作者主要讲述橘子的优点还和其他时间和水果做比较。

但是在翻译过程中也遇到了一些问题.then the orange however sour comes nobly to the rescue 让我们有点困惑，我们都知道这句话前面说的是甜点，而这句话又提到的是酸，恰好有to the rescue 这个短语，但是我们不知道怎么准确的描述，只能翻译成，橘子来拯救局面。

课后作业（1）请将下列短文翻译成汉语，特别注意标题的翻译：The Art of DancingWhat does it take to dance? Your body must movewith grace. And you must understand space, time,shape and motion. These are the most importantfactors for many professional dancers.First, the dancer must be aware of space, bothinside and outside his or her body. A feeling for timeis also very important. The rhythm or beat is the heartof the music. And the timing of a step must beprecise.A sense of shape is needed as well. A dance must look graceful and controlled. The image of a dancer in motion stays in the viewer’s mind even after the dance is done. So, dancers practice for hours in front of mirrors to perfect the shapes their bodies form when they dance. Finally, motion is what dance is made of. All movements must be both smooth and expressive.The next time you see dancers perform, watch closely. Both their bodies and minds will be stretching to create their art for you.舞之韵跳舞有何要点？对于专业舞者来说，舞步优雅，了解空间、时间、形体、动作，这些因素都是重中之重。

The time for this part is 75 minutes.A Tale Of Three Cities三城计by Michael ElliottThey tend to be an optimistic lot, the bankers and business leaders, politicians and pundits, who every year make their way to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Those who have power and influence often have much to be optimistic about, to be programmed to lift up their eyes to the hills—of which Davos has plenty—and see more prosperity coming their way.This year´s meeting, which starts on Jan. 23, might be a little different. Thoughts may be in the valley rather than the hills. A year ago, subprime had not entered the lexicon of the nightly news, and most Americans probably thought that "credit crunch" was a breakfast cereal. We all know better now. In the wake of the report that December´s US unemployment rate had jumped to 5%, the highest level in two years, the Bush Administration and Congress, Republicans and Democrats, started falling over themselves trying to find a politically acceptable stimulus package. With a recession in the American economy looking to be imminent, the tireless locomotive of the global economy seems finally to have run out of puff.How serious are the consequences likely to be? Much more could go wrong: a collapse of thedollar, or of US consumer confidence as house prices continue their fall. But on balance, the denizens of Davos would be well advised to keep up their sunny spirits. Taking the long view, the global economy is at a remarkable moment. Whatever the chance of a recession this year, the US has experienced what the economist and former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs John B. Taylor of Stanford University calls a "long boom" since the Fed started to squeeze inflation out of the system in 1979. For nearly 30 years, Taylor points out, the few downturns the US has suffered have, in historical terms, been both short and shallow. Even more extraordinary is the tale outside the US According to the World Bank´s recent Global Economic Prospects report, global growth in 2007 was 3.6%, down a little from 3.9% in 2006. But among developing economies, growth was a remarkable 7.4%, the fifth successive year of an expansion of more than 5%. This isn´t just the predictable tale of the rise of China and India; on the back of strong commodity prices (and relative peace), African economies, too, are performing better than they have for a generation.How did the world come to this happy position? You can list the usual reasons: two decades of decent macroeconomic policymaking, the triumph of markets and the collapse of command economies, the dissemination of transforming technologies and tools such as the Internet, and open trading systems. All of these are the attributes that combine to form that much discussed phenomenon: globalization. But in this special report, we look at one overlooked aspect of a generation´s worth of global growth: the extent to which New York City, London, and Hong Kong, three cities linked by a shared economic culture, have come to be both examples and explanations of globalization. Connected by long-haul jets and fiber-optic cable, and spaced neatly around the globe, the three cities have (by accident—nobody planned this) created a financial network that has been able to lubricate the global economy, and, critically, ease the entry into the modem world of China, the giant child of our century. Understand this network of cities—Nylonkong, we call it—and you understand our time.Go back nearly 30 years, and few would have thought that any of the three cities were about to remake the world for the better. In September, 1982, the Hong Kong stock exchange lost a quarter of its value. At the same time, London and New York City were bywords of urban decay. In 1981, London saw some of the most bitter riots in a century. New York almost went bankrupt in 1975; by the early 1980s, its streets were potholed, filthy and dangerous. The city routinely had nearly 2,000 homicides a year. Last year, the number was just 494, the lowest since consistent record-keeping began in 1963.第51题What do you understand from the first two paragraphs?A.The bankers and business leaders, politicians and pundits are optimistic about the prospect of world economy.B.In Davos, Switzerland one can see a lot of hills.C.Prosperity can be looked forward to at the World Economic Forum every year, and this year is no exception.D.After years of economic prosperity in the world, a recession in US economy may lead to a sad situation in the global economy this year.第52题Which of the following does the word "Subprime" refer to in the second paragraph?A.Something common in the breakfast.。

全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷 Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points Translate the following passage into Chinese. Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle. In Bykovsky, a village of 457 residents at the tip of a fin-shaped peninsula on Russia’s northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet, or 5 to 6 meters, a year. Eventually, homes will be lost as more ice melts each summer, and maybe all of Bykovsky, too. “It is practically all ice — permafrost —and it is thawing.” The 4 million Russian people who live north of the Arctic Circle are feeling the effects of warming in many ways. A changing climate presents new opportunities, but it also threatens their environment, the stability of their homes, and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture. A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. Discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil or liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed for the eager markets of Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by air and water pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry. Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit coastal villages at a projected cost of US$100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with cultural traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, the northernmost province of Norway, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them.A changing Arctic is felt there, too, though in another way. “The reindeer are becoming unhappy,” said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder. Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. Thestate has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and as a result Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring are melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat. “The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns,” said Eira, sitting beside a birch fire inside his la vvu, a home made of reindeer hides. “They don’t mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it.” Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points Translate the following passage into English. 中国为种类繁多的菜肴感到十分自豪。

精选英语美文阅读翻译-金色的果实In the first place, it’s perennial1 — if not in actual fact —at least in the greengrocer’s shop.在一年四季的水果中，我首选柑橘。

Sour oranges come to the rescue when there is no other fresh fruit, and when cherries and strawberries are plenty,the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there holding its own. Oranges, just like bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are necessary to an ordered existence.首先，柑橘四季皆有——如果此非事实的话，至少在水果店里应该如此。

在水果淡季，无论柑橘有多么酸涩，它总能勇敢地前来救急；而到了水果旺季，大量的樱桃、草莓一起被摆上餐桌时，此时的柑橘比什么时候都甜，所以，仍然占据着一席之地。

柑橘正如面包和米饭，牛羊肉，蛋类牛奶这些东西一样，都是必不可少的。

It is well that the commonest fruit be the best. Of the virtues of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has health-giving properties, since it helps cure influenza2 and establish the complexion3. Its outer covering keeps it clean, and being round makes it an excellentsubstitute4 for a cricket ball. The pip5 can be used as a weapon, and just a small piece of peel can make someone slip and fall.最普通的水果也就是良的，这话确有道理。

Early Autumn Langston HughesWhen Bill was very young, they had been in love. Many nights they had spent walking, talking together. Then something not very important had come between them, and they didn't speak. Impulsively, she had married a man she thought she loved. Bill went away, bitter about women.Yesterday, walking across Washington Square, she saw him for the first time in years."Bill Walker," she said.He stopped. At first he did not recognize her, to him she looked so old."Mary! Where did you come from?"Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss, but he held out his hand. She took it."I live in New York now," she said."Oh" -- smiling politely, then a little frown came quickly between his eyes."Always wondered what happened to you, Bill.""I'm a lawyer. Nice firm, way downtown.""Married yet?""Sure. Two kids.”"Oh,” she said.A great many people went past them through the park. People they didn’t know. It was late afternoon. Nearly sunset. Cold."And your husband?” he aske d her.“We have three children. I work in the bursar’s office at Columbia.”“You’re looking very…” (he wanted to say old) “…well,” he said.She understood. Under the trees in Washington Square, she found herself desperately reaching back into the past. She had been older than he then in Ohio. Now she was not young at all. Bill was still young."We live on Central Park West," she said. "Come and see us sometime."“Sure,” he replied. “You and your husband must have dinner with my family some night. Any night. Lucille and I’d love to have you.”The leaves fell slowly from the trees in the Square. Fell without wind. Autumn dusk. She felt a little sick."We'd love it," she answered."You ought to see my kids." He grinned.Suddenly the lights came on up the whole length of Fifth Avenue, chains of misty brilliance in the blue air."There's my bus," she said.He held out his hand. "Good-bye.""When..." she wanted to say, but the bus was ready to pull off. The lights on the avenue blurred. And she was afraid to open her mouth as she entered the bus. Afraid it would be impossible to utter a word.Suddenly she shrieked very loudly, “Good-bye!” But the bus door had closed.The bus started. People came between them outside, people crossing the street, people they didn't know. Space and people. She lost sight of Bill. Then she remembered she had forgotten to give him her address—or to ask him for his -- or tell him that her youngest boy was named Bill, too.初秋年轻的时候，比尔和一个女人共坠爱河。

Whi le I was there, I visited a eucalyptus forest that, in February, was the scene of an appalling wildfire. Perhaps naively, I had expected to find that many trees had been killed. They hadn’t. They had blackened bark, but were otherwise looking rather well, many of them wreathed in new young leaves. This prompted me to consider fireand the role it plays as a force of nature.Fossil charcoals tell us that wildfires have been part of life on Earth for as long as there have been plants on land. That’s more than 400 million years of fire. Fire was here long before arriviste plants like grasses; it pre-dated the first flowers. And without wanting to get mystical about it, fire is, in many respects, a kind of animal, albeit an ethereal one. Like any animal, it consumes oxygen. Like a sheep or a slug, it eats plants. But unlike a normal animal, it’s a shape-shifter. Sometimes, it merely nibbles a few leaves; sometimes it kills grown trees. Sometimes it is more deadly and destructive than a swarm of locusts.The shape-shifting nature of fire makes it hard to study, for it is not a single entity. Some fires are infernally hot; others, relatively cool. Some stay at ground level; others climb trees. Moreover, fire is much more likely to appear in some parts of the world than in others. Satellite images of the Earth show that wildfires are rare in, say, northern Europe, and common in parts of central Africa and Australia. (These days many wildfires are started by humans, either on purpose or by accident. But long before our ancestors began to throw torches or cigarette butts, fires were started by lightning strikes, or by sparks given off when rocks rub together in an avalanche.)Once a fire gets started, many factors contribute to how it will behave. The weather obviously has a huge effect: winds can fan flames, rains can quench them. The lie of the land matters, too: fire runs uphill more readily than it goes down. But another crucial factor is what type of plants the fire has to eat.It’s common knowledge that plants regul arly exposed to fire tend to have features that help them cope with it—such as thick bark, or seeds that only grow after being exposed to intense heat or smoke. But what is less often remarked on is that the plants themselves affect the nature and severity of fire.【参考译文】上周提起，我刚从澳大利亚回来。
