TranslationA.(Refer to the relevant part of the Chinese translation)B.In September 1995, anti-hydrogen atom—an anti-matter atom—was successfullydeveloped in European Particle Physics Laboratory in Switzerland. After the startling news spread out, scientists in the West who were indulged in the research of anti-matter were greatly excited. While they were attempting to produce and store anti-matter as the energy for spacecraft, they raised a new question: Many of the mysterious nuclear explosions in the recent one hundred years are connected with anti-matter. That is to say, these hard-to-explain explosions are tricks played by anti-mat ter. They are the “destruction”phenomenon caused by the impact between matter and anti-matter.V.

Most of the pieces are there,and even unfinished, it is arguably the most brilliant opus in the literature of physics. With great precision, it describes all known matter – all the subatomic particles such as quarks and leptons –as well as the forces by which those particles interact with one another.These forces are electromagnetism, which describes how charged objects feel each other’s influence: the weak force, which explains how particles can change their identities, and the strong force, which describes how quarks stick together to form protons and other composite particles. But as lovely as the Standard Model’s description is, it is in pieces, and some of those pieces – those that describe gravity – are missing. It is a few shards of beauty that hint at something greater, like a few lines of Sappho on a fragment of papyrus. V.

The five scientists who won the 1996 Nobel Prize point out that the present prosperityand development are based on the fruits of basic scientific research and the negligence of basic scientific research will threaten human development of the 21st century.EU countries noticed that one of their weaknesses is “insufficient investment in research and development.” Korea and Singapore do not hesitate to pour money into research and development. The developed countries in the West have used most of the scientific and technological development resources for the research and development of new and high technology. This has become an obvious trend at present. It is evident from the experiences of various countries that new and high technology can create and form new industries, open up and set up new markets. The innovation of traditional industries with new and high technology is a key method to strengthen the competitive competency of an enterprise.VI.

The formergives us convenience; and the latter gives us comfort. In more common words, the former enables us to have food to eat when we are hungry; and the latter makes us aware that eating is something more than eating, and it is very interesting as well. To have science without poetry, atomic bomb will be detonated; to have poetry without science, poets will starve to death.Scientists should not despise poets; and poets should not remain isolated from scientists.If the two fields conflict each other, human beings would be on the way to doom. In fact, the greatest scientists like Newton, Einstein and Mrs. Currie were all endowed with poetic spirit.I assert that in observing the apple falling to the ground, Newton not only discovered thegravity of the earth, he also wrote a beautiful poem.V.

The opponents of science hold that the development of modern science has not brought blessings to human beings, instead it has brought human beings to the very edge of disaster and peril. On the other hand, the proponents of scientific and technological progress maintains that the crises facing human beings today—such as environmental pollution, ecological unbalance, natural resource exhaustion—are the natural consequences of the development of science, and the solution to which lies in the further development of science. Both of the above tendencies are reasonable in a sense with their respective one-sided view. If we view the development of modern science and technology from the point of view of our times and with dialectic viewpoints, we can find out that the problem facing modern science and technology is not how to understand the progress of modern science and technology, but how to find out the theoretical basis for the further development of science and technology in order to meet the needs of the times.V.

Human beings have long been attempting sending unmanned devices, called interstellarprobes, into the outer space to understand the changes of climates, geological structures and the living beings on the stars and planets out there. A probe is usually sent into the orbit of the earth by “riding” a spacecraft or carrier rockets. After its orbital adjustments are made, the rocket engine is ignited and the probe continues its journey to the orbit of the other star or planet. With the rocket engine broken off, the probe immediately spreads its solar-cell sails and antenna, controlling its posture with sensors. When convinced that it is in the orbit of the targeted star, the probe starts its propeller and flies to the preset destination.V.

The energy released from nuclear fusion is much more than that from nuclear fission, andthe radioactivity given out from fusion is only one hundredth of that from fission. The major fuel used for nuclear fusion is hydrogen and its isotopes, deuterium and tritium, among which deuterium could be directly extracted from sea water. The energy of deuterium contained in one liter of sea water is equal to 300 liters of petroleum. In the ocean there are about 35,000 billion tons of deuterium, which could be used for more than one billion years.

Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.In the past thirty years many social changes have taken place in Britain. The greatest of these have probably been in the economic lives of women.The changes have been significant, but, because tradition and prejudice can still handicap women in their working careers and personal lives, major legislation to help promote equality of opportunity and pay was passed during the 1970s.At the heart of women’s changed role in society has been the rise in the number of women at work, particularly married women. As technology and society permit highly effective and generally acceptable methods of family planning there has been a decline in family size. Women as a result are involved in child-rearing for a much shorter time and related to this, there has been a rapid increase in the number of women with young children who return to work when the children are old enough not to need constant care and attention.Since 1951 the proportion of married women who work has grown from just over a fifth to a half. Compared with their counterparts elsewhereon the Continent, British women comprise a relatively high proportion of the work-force, about two-fifths, but on average they work fewer hours, about 31 a week. There is still a significant difference between women’s average earnings and men’ s, but the equal pay legislation which came into force at the end of 1975 appears to have helped to narrow the gap between women’s and men’s basic rates.As more and more women joined the work force in the 1960s and early 1970s there was an increase in the collective incomes of women as a whole and a major change in the economic role of large numbers of housewives. Families have come to rely on married women’s earnings as an essential part of their income rather than as “pocket money”. At the same time social roles within the family are more likely to be shared, exchanged or altered.第26题:The general idea of the passage is about _________.A.social trends in contemporary BritainB.changes in women’s economic statusC.equal opportunity and pay in BritainD.women’s roles within the family第27题:According to the author, an increasing number of married women are able to work because ______.A.their children no longer require their careB.there are more jobs available nowadaysC.technology has enabled them to find acceptable jobsD.they spend far less time on child care than beforeNature’s Gigantic SnowploughOn January 10,1962, an enormous piece of glacier broke away and tumbled down the side of a mountain in Peru. A mere seven minutes later, when cascading ice finally came to a stop ten miles down the mountain, it had taken the lives of 4000 people.This disaster is one of the most (devastating) examples of a very common event: an avalanche of snow or ice. Because it is extremely cold at very high altitudes, snow rarely melts. It just keeps piling up higher and higher. Glaciers are eventually created when the weight of the snow is so great that the lower layers are pressed into solid ice. But most avalanches occur long before this happens. As snow accumulates on a steep slope, it reaches a critical point at which the slightest vibration will send it sliding into the valley below.Even an avalanche of light power can be dangerous, but the Peruvian catastrophe was particularly terrible because it was caused by a heavy layer of ice. It is estimated that the ice that broke off weighed threemillion tons. As it crashed down the steep mountainside like a gigantic snowplough, it swept up trees, boulders and tons of topsoil, and completely crushed and destroyed the six villages that lay in its path.At present there is no way to predict or avoid such enormous avalanches, but, luckily, they are very rare. Scientists are constantly studying the smaller, more common avalanches, to try to understand what causes them. In the future, perhaps dangerous masses of snow and ice can be found and removed before they take human lives.第28题:The first paragraph catches the reader’s attention with a _____.A.firsthand reportB.dramatic descriptionC.tall taleD.vivid word picture第29题:In this passage devastating means _____.A.violently ruinousB.spectacularly interestingC.stunningD.unpleasant第30题:The passage is mostly about _______.A.avalanchesB.glaciersC.PeruD.mountainsI was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or fall-time. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. He considered all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during1835, I was about seventeen years old.My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Issac and Betsey Bailey, both coloured, and quite dark. My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.My father was a white man. He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I run away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labour. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child’s affection towards its mother.第31题:The author did not know exactly when he was born because _______.A.he did not know who his mother wasB.there was no written evidence of itC.his master did not tell his fatherD.nobody on his farm knew anything about it第32题:In the mid-nineteenth century, slaves often ______.A.marked their birthdays by the seasonB.did not really care how old they wereC.forgot the exact time when they were bornD.pretended not to know each other’s birthdays第33题:The author’s mother told him ______.A.his father was blackB.his father was whiteC.nothing about his fatherD.his master was his father第34题:According to the passage, when the author was very young his mother _______.A.run awayB.was light-skinnedC.had several childrenD.was sent to work elsewhere第35题:The author had not spent much time with his ______.A.motherB.masterC.grandfatherD.grandmother第36题:The author was most probably raised ______.A.by his grandparentsB.by an old woman slaveC.with his master's supportD.together with other childrenPlease Recycle That Bobsled Run(大雪橇滑道)For the 1992 Winter Games, French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps. Environmentalists screamed “Disaster!” Thus warned, the Norwegians have adopted “green”advice and avoided great blots on the landscape. The speed-skating rink was built to look like an overturned ship, and placed so as not to disturb a bird sanctuary. Dug into a mountainside, the hockey arena is well concealed and energy efficient. The bobsled run is built out of wood not metal and hidden among trees. No wonder the president of the International Olympic Committee has called these the first “Green Games.”Lillehammer’s opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic Torch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation. During construction, builders were threatened with $ 7500 fines for felling trees unnecessarily. Rare trees were carefully transplanted from hillsides. Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed, in the end, to pigs. Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in, with enforcement by polite requests.Environmentalists have declared partial victory: though Coca-Cola’s plan to decorate the town with banners has been scaled back, there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes. Perhaps, but after the Games, athlete housing will be converted into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories. Bullets will be plucked from biathlon targets and recycled to keep the lead from poisoning ground water. And these tricks won’t be forgotten. Embarrassed by environmental protests, the IOC claims that green awareness is now entrenched—along with sport and culture—as a permanent dimension of the Olympic Charter.Indeed, Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in pan on the strength of its endorsement from Greenpeace. Aspiringhost cities are picking up the code. Salt Lake City, bidding for the 2002 Games, may opt to use the bobsled run that Calgary built for the ’88 Games. After that, who could deny that recycling is an Olympic movement?第37题:Which of the following countries has not paid enough attention to the “ green” issues?A.Norway.B.France.C.America.D.Australia.第38题:In which area did the environmentalists fail in Lillehammer?A.Energy.B.Smoking.C.Housing.D.Advertising.第39题:Which of the following describes the IOC’s attitude towards the environmentalists’ protests?A.Trying to commit themselves.B.Showing indifference and contempt.C.Arguing for practical difficulties.D.Negotiating for gradual changes.第40题:The 2002 Games might be held in ______.A.OsloB.CalgaryC.SydneyD.Salt Lake CityPART IV GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY There are thirty sentences in this section.

四级长度为140-160个汉字。
)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。
例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。
那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。
中秋节是观赏满月的日子。
圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。
因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。
春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year‟s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。
参考答案Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year‟s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the new year cake.难点精析■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。

SectionⅣWriting(15points)36.见分析试题精解PartⅠCloze Test一、文章总体分析本文是一篇介绍维生素的科普性小短文。
文章首段对维生素下定义。
第二段介绍了维生素的两大功能:将食物转化成能量和维持身体健康。
第三段介绍了各种维生素的异同:基本组成元素相同,但排列方式不同,并且各自承担一到多种特殊功能。
第四段指出:不需要获取过量的维生素,均衡的饮食通常就可以完全满足身体对它们的需求了。
二、试题具体解析1.[A]either[B]so[C]nor[D]never[精解]本题考核的知识点是:否定倒装句的连词。
空格前文讲到维生素不能提供能量,是一个否定句;后文讲到它们构建身体的任何部分,是倒装句,因此选项必须既能引导倒装句,又能与前面的否定相呼应。
综合英语教程4课文翻译
包装设计1. 普莱默.安吉列的工作室位于圣弗朗斯斯科一个时尚的街区里, 它看起来就像一件流行艺术的作品。
墙上的一幅喷涂画面上是一个五英尺的香肠正盯着你看。
一块巨大的花岗石被安放在由陈腐的炸面圈垒起的宝塔上。
我疑惑这炸面圈怎么支撑得住花岗石。
安吉列解释说:“这块石头不是真正的花岗石而是一块制型纸板。
2.像在这个地方的许多东西一样,这个炸面圈的宝塔通常是个象征而已。
它不是我们常想的那种艺术作品的样子。
在我们后面的墙上,是安吉列他的员工的作品和那些材料——一排排的空盒子、瓶子、纸板盒和易拉罐。
3. “顾客和包装之间有一种关系”,安吉列说,包装有时被称作“沉默的推销员。
”但它们真正所做的是引诱。
它们把肥皂、发胶、婴儿爽身粉、松饼等普通的东西转变成人们渴望的东西。
它们使我们想买我们并不需要,甚至并不想要的东西。
4. 很快包装就可以使人选择一袋洗涤剂或者一份冻比萨,包装袋一定会尖叫或低语或哀求或威胁或喃喃低语以传达这种产品的美味,价廉,优点和华贵的感觉,清晰明了地吸引我们的注意力。
难怪,在设计、生产和市场推销中,包装领域成蓬勃发展,彼此的关系已经类似艺术和骗局、科学与欺骗。
5.要真正掌握包装的作用,首先设想一下没有包装的世界会是一个什么样子。
设想整个的超市里面装满了相似的品目:白色无菌的牙膏,用蜡纸包装的早餐麦片等等。
这个店里的商品也许和其它地方的商品一样好甚至还要好过别的商家,价格有竞争力,售货员也敏锐,在现今零售店里它的成功是不可能的。
6.市场调查员戴温斯.马森说一个成功的包装是能够创造一个购买者向往的理想意象,渴求真正与自己有关。
比如,当普莱默.安吉列为从意大利进品销往美国的咖啡设计包装的时候,他就不会把穿着邋遢浴袍的美国有形象印在标签上,而美国人确实穿着破旧的浴衣喝大量的咖啡,但是为什么要把这种窘境画在咖啡的包装上呢?所以,在Age li设计的标签上描述的是一对优雅而身着白色外套的夫妇面对面坐在古典而浪漫的环境下的景象。

“子在川上曰:逝者如斯夫。
”他们发现无论是潺潺小溪,还是浩荡大河,都一去不复返,流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄,很自然有惜阴的紧迫感。
流逝也许是缓慢的,但无论如何缓慢,对流逝的恐惧使人们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时警戒后人,必须急匆匆地行动,给这个词灌注一种紧张感。
正确答案:They realized either the flowing stream or mighty rivers are gone forever. They found that as time passed by, youngsters would become old and the green grass wither in almost a blink of an eye. A sense of urgency naturally arose over the elusiveness of time. Time might flow slowly, but no matter how slowly time flowed, the very fear of its transiency compelled people to use the word “passage” to warn the new generations of the necessity of taking prompt action; thus instilling the word with a sense of tension.解析:背景介绍文章选自当代著名作家韩少功1996年出版的《马桥词典》。
这是一部长篇小说,但以词条为引子,讲述了古往今来引人入胜的故事,更像是一部百科全书。

Today, while most of us marry for romantic reasons, marriage at its core is still a financial union. So much of what we want – or don’t want – out of life boils down to dollars and cents, whether it’s how hard we choose to work, how much we consume or how much we save.

1996年英语专业四级阅读第三篇
1996年英语专业四级阅读第三篇1996TEXT AIn the past thirty years many social changes bare taken place in Britain. The greatest of these have probably been in the economic lives of women.The changes have been significant, but because tradition and prejudice can still handicap women in their working careers and personal lives, major legislation to help promote equality of opportunity and pay was passed during the 1970s.At the heart of women’s changed role in society has been the rise in the number of women at work, particularly married women. As technology and society permit highly effective and generally acceptable methods of family planning there has been a decline in family size. Women as a result are involved in child-rearing for a much shorter time and related to this, there has been a rapid increase in the number of women with young children who return to work when the children are old enough not to need constant care and attention.Since 1951 the proportion of married women who work has grown from just over a fifth to a haft. Compared with their counterparts elsewhere on the Continent, British women comprise a relatively high proportion of the work force, about two-fifths, but on average they work fewer hours, about 31 a week There is still a significant difference between women’s average earnings and men’s, but the equal pay legislation which came into force at the end of 1975 appears to have helped to narrow the gap between women’s and men’s basic rates.As more and more women joined the work force in the 1960sand early 1970s there was an increase in the collective incomes of women as a whole and a major change in the economic role of large numbers of housewives. Families have come to rely on married women’s earnings as an essential part of their income rather than as “pocket money”. At the same time social roles within the family are more likely to be shared, exchanged or altered.TEXT BNATURE’S GIGANTIC SNOWPLOUGHOn January 10, 1962, an enormous piece of glacier broke away and tumbled down the side of a mountain in Peru. A mere seven minutes later, when cascading ice finally came to a stop ten miles down the mountain, it had taken the lives of 4,000 people.This disaster is one of the most devastating examples of a very common event: an avalanche of snow or ice. Because it is extremely cold at very high altitudes, snow rarely melts. It just keeps piling up higher and higher. Glaciers are eventually created when the weight of the snow is so great that the lower layers are pressed into solid ice. But most avalanches occur long before this happens. As snow accumulates on a steep slope, it reaches a critical point at which the slightest vibration will send it sliding into the valley below.Even an avalanche of light power can be dangerous, but the Peruvian catastrophe was particularly terrible because it was caused by a heavy layer of ice. It is estimated that the ice that broke off weighed three million tons. As it crashed down the steep mountainside like a gigantic snow plough, it swept up trees, boulders and tons of topsoil, and completely crushed and destroyed the six villages that lay in its path.At present there is no way to predict or avoid such enormousavalanches, but, lucidly, they are very rare. Scientists are constantly studying the smaller, more common avalanches, to try to understand what causes them. In the future, perhaps dangerous masses of snow and ice can be found and removed before they take human lives.TEXT DPLEASE RECYCLE THAT BOBSLED RUN (大雪橇滑道)For the 1992 Winter Games, French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps. Environmentalists screamed “Disaster!” Thus warned, the Norwegians have adopted “green”advice and avoided great blots on the landscape. The speed-skating was built to look like an overturned ship, and placed so as not to disturb a bird sanctuary. Dug into a mountainside, the hockey arena is well concealed and energy efficient. The bobsled run is built out of wood not metal and hidden among trees. No wonder the president of the International Olympic Committee has called these the first “Green Games”.Lillehammer’s opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic T orch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation. During construction, builders were threatened with $ 7,500 fines for felling trees unnecessarily. Rate trees were carefully transplanted from hillsides. Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed, in turn, to pigs. Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in, with enforcement by polite requests.Environmentalists have declared partial victory, though Coca-Cola’s plan to decorate the town with Banners has been scaled back, there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes. Perhaps, but after the Games, athlete housing will beconverted into vacation home or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories. Bullets will be plucked from biathlon targets and recycled to keep the lead from poisoning ground water. And these tricks won’t be forgotten. Embarrassed by environmental protests, the I. O. C. claims that green awareness is now entrenched-along with sport and culture-as a permanent dimension of the Olympic Charter.Indeed, Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in part on the strength of its endorsement from Greenpeace. Aspiring host cities are picking up the code. Salt Lake City, bidding for the 2002 Games, may opt to use the bobsled run that Calgary built for the 88 Games. After that, who could deny that recycling is an Olympic movement?。

Passage 1谨慎的(tight-lipped)老人们过去常说“在这个世界上,重要的不是你想要什么,而是你能够得到什么。
”心理学(psychology)教导人们,如果你知道你想要什么,并且你想要的东西又合乎情理,那么你就能会得到它。
在脑海里,你可以为你的愿望描绘一幅蓝图(blueprint),就像你绘制房屋的蓝图一样;日常生活中,我们每个人都在不断地描绘着这些蓝图。
如果我们想请朋友吃饭,我们就要定菜谱,列购物清单(make a shopping list),并决定先做哪道菜。
这样的计划对于举行的任何形式的饭局都是必不可少的。
同样,如果你想找份工作,就应该拿张纸,写一份自我简评(brief account)。
为找工作制订计划时,应该以自己的实际情况为出发点,因为只有当你确切地知道你可以提供什么时,你才可能明智地(intelligently)计划到哪儿去求职(sell your services)。
实际上,你的这份自我评估是你工作经历的一个简介(sketch),应当包括你的受教育程度、经历以及证明材料(reference)。
这样的简历很有用。
在填写正式申请表格(application blank)时可以作为参照,在面试时更是起极大的作用。
在与你交谈时,你可能的(could be)雇主将根据你的受教育程度、工作经历以及其他资历(qualification)来确定你是否值得他雇用,因此你必须以相关的合理而有序的方式展现你的“商品”和能力。
当你为自己的能力和愿望仔细地筹划了一幅蓝图后,你就有了确切的(tangible)东西可推销了。
这样你就可以找工作(hunt for a job)了。
你应当尽可能地收集所有有关你未来工作的信息。
查询(make inquiry)有关工作和公司的详细情况。
保持耳目灵敏,运用自己的判断。
每天花一定的时间寻找(seek)你想要的工作,并时刻记住:你现在的工作就是找份工作(secure a job)。

5 (1996)SECTION A C TO E Translate the following UNDERLINED PART of the text into English:(important technique: establish sense group, that is, divide longer sentences into shorter ones for the convenience of phrasing in English.)近读报纸,对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多,于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬,随笔记下来,似乎不无借鉴之处。
在巴黎,名目繁多的酒会、冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。
在这种场合陌生人相识,如果是亚洲人,他们往往开口之前先必恭必敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方,这好象是不可缺少的礼节。
然而,法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片。
双方见面寒暄几句,甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开。
只有当双方谈话投机,希望继续交往时,才会主动掏出名片。
二话不说先递名片反倒有些勉强。
法国人的名片讲究朴素大方,印制精美,但很少有镶金边的,闪光多色的或带香味儿的。
名片上的字体纤细秀丽,本人的名字也不过分突出,整张纸片上空白很大,毫无拥挤不堪的感觉。
Reference version 1 (p. 223 of《历年考试试题》)In Paris, there are a variety of cocktail parties in which buffet reception provides a best chance to make new friends. On this occasion strangers meet to know each other. If they are Asians, they will usually present politely with two hands their calling cards to the other person before they speak, which seems an indispensable manner. However, Frenchmen generally don’t present their calling cards initially. When they meet, they say some greeting words, or even chat at random. And then excuse themselves. They won’t exchange name cards until they have a agreeable chat and would like to keep in touch later on. It would be embarrassing for them to give their visiting cards before they speak to each other.Reference version 2From the newspaper I have read recently, I find (know) that there has been much talk about calling cards and invitations popular in our country (in China). It reminds me of the calling cards and invitations I had often seen (I often saw)in the hands of Frenchmen when I lived in Paris. Now I’ll write the following down for reference.In Paris, different kinds of cocktail party and buffet offer people a good opportunity (are good opportunities for people) to make friends with each other. When two strangers meet on such occasions, Asians will, before opening their mouths, present politely with their both hands their calling carks to each other as if this is a form of indispensable (necessary) etiquette. Frenchmen, however, do not usually exchange their calling cards of their own accord (initially). When they meet, each of them will go his own way, having exchanged a few words of greetings, or even talked with each other at random. (or: when…, they will exch ange … and talk with each other at random, and then each of them goes his own way.) They are ready to exchange their calling cards with each other only after they have talked agreeably and wished to continue their association. It’s somewhat unnatural (embarrassing) to exchange calling cards without talking about anything.Frenchmen like their calling cards to be plain and finely prepared (printed), yet few of which have gilt edges and are shiny, scented or colourful. The words on a card are in beautiful / fine handwritings. The personal name (on it) is not too conspicuous. The fact that there is much blank space on it gives one no sense of crampness.分句翻译:(reference version 2)近读报纸,对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多,●近读报纸:(from) the newspapers I have read recentlynot: recently when I read newspapers I found that …●名片和请柬:calling cards (name cards; visiting cards) and invitations●议论颇多:much talkFrom the newspaper I have read recently, I find (know) that there has been much talk about calling cards and invitations popular in our country (in China).
