Exercise:
1. 匆匆
我不知道他们给了我多少日子，但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。

在默默里算着，八千多日子已经从我手中溜去；像针尖上一滴水滴在大海里，我的日子滴在时间的流里，没有声音，也没有影子，我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸。

去的尽管去了，来的尽管来着；去来的中间，又怎么地匆匆呢？早上我起来的时候，小屋里射进两三方斜斜的太阳。

太阳他有脚啊，轻轻悄悄地挪移了；我也茫茫然跟着旋转，于是-----洗手的时候，日子从水盆里过去；吃饭的时候，日子从饭碗里过去；默默时，便从凝然的双眼前过去，我觉察他去的匆匆了，伸出手遮挽时，他又从遮挽着的手边过去，天黑时，我躺在床上，他便伶伶俐俐地从我身上跨过，从我脚边飞去了。

等我睁开眼和太阳再见，这算又溜走了一日，我掩面叹息。

但是新来的日子的影儿又开始在叹息里闪过了。

在逃去如飞的日子里，在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢？只有徘徊罢了，只有匆匆罢了；在八千多日的匆匆里，除徘徊外，又剩些什么呢？过去的日子如轻烟，被微风吹散了，如薄雾，被初阳蒸融了；我留着些什么痕迹呢？我何曾留着像游丝样的痕迹呢？我赤裸裸来到这世界，转眼间也将赤裸裸地回去吧？但不能平的，为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊Swallows may have gone, but there is a time of return; willow trees may have died back, but there is a time of renewal; peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. Now , you the wise, tell me—why should our days leave us, never to return?—if they had been stolen by someone, who could it be? Where could it he hide them? If they had made the escape themselves, then where could they be hiding now?
I don’t know how many days I have been given to spend, but I do feel my hands are getting empty. Taking stock silently, I find that more than eight thousand days have already slipped away form me. Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time—soundless, traceless. Already sweat is beading on my forehead, and tears are welling up in my eyes.
Those that have gone have gone for good, those to come keep coming; yet in between, how swift is the shift, in such a rush? When I get up in the morning, the slanting sun marks its presence in my small room in two or three oblongs. The sun has feet-look, he is treading, lightly and furtively; and I am caught, blankly, in his revolution. Thus- the day flows away through the sink when I wash my hands, rubs off in the bowl when I eat my meal, and passes away before my day-dreaming gaze as I reflect in silence.
I can feel his haste now, so I reach out my hands to hold him back, but he keeps flowing past my body, glides past my feet, in his agile way. The moment I open my eyes and meet the sun again, one whole day has gone. I bury my face in my hands and heave a sigh. But the new day begins to flash past in the sigh.
What can I do, in this bustling world, with my days flying in their escape? Nothing but to hesitate, to rush. What have I been doing in that eight-thousand-day rush, apart from hesitating? Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind, or evaporated as mist by the morning sun. What traces have I left behind me? Have I ever left behind any gossamer traces at all? I have come to the world, stark naked; am I to go back, in a blink, in the same stark nakedness? It is not fair though: why should I have made such a trip for nothing.
2. 浪漫
一个小伙子暗恋着一个女孩。

女孩是他的同事，他们在一个办公室工作。

小伙子性格内向，不善言辞，他不知道如何向女孩表达他的爱慕之意。

写情书罢，小伙子是学理工的，一直搞技术工作，满脑子的图形，就是没有一句有文采的话。

至于直截了当告诉女孩说―我爱你‖，小伙子更没有那胆量。

这样的恋情应该说没有什么希望的了。

事实上一年后他们结了婚。

有人向小伙子讨教，他说：―我上班第一件事就是为她泡上一杯她喜欢的喝的绿茶。

她胃不好，我经常备些胃药放在她桌上。

一开始她不知道是我做的这些事情，时间长了就知道了。

‖我不知道，泡茶送药是否是一种浪漫。

浪漫是没有定式的，或许那些实实在在的呵护和关爱才是真正的浪漫。

3. 落花生
. 我们屋后有半亩隙地。

母亲说，―让它荒芜着怪可惜, 既然你们那么爱吃花生,就辟来做花生园罢。

‖ 我们几个姊弟和几个小丫头都很喜欢-------买种的买种,动土的动土,灌园的灌园;过不了几个月,居然收获了!
妈妈说:‖今晚我们可以做一个收获节,也请你们爹爹来尝尝我们底新花生,如何?‖ 我们都答应了。

母亲把花生做成好几样的食品,还吩咐这节期要在园里底茅亭举行。

那晚上底天色不大好,可是爹爹也到来，实在很难得! 爹爹说:‖你们爱吃花生么?‖
我们都争着答应,‖爱!‖
―谁能把花生底好处说出来?‖
姊姊说：‖花生的气味很美。

‖
哥哥说:‖花生可制油。

‖
我说:‖无论何等人都可以用贱价买它来吃；都喜欢吃它。

这就是它的好处。

‖
爹爹说：―花生底用处固然很多；但有一样很可贵的。

这小小的豆不像那好看的苹果、桃子、石榴，把它们底果实悬在枝上，鲜红嫩绿的颜色，令人一望而发生羡慕的心。

它只是把果子埋在地底。

等到成熟，才容人把它挖出来。

你们偶然看见一颗花生瑟缩地长在地上，不
能立刻辨出它有没有果实，非得等到你接触它才能知道。

‖
我们都说：―是的。

‖母亲也点头。

爹爹接下去说：―所以你们要像花生，因为它是有用的，不是伟大、好看的东西。

‖我说：―那么人要做有用的人，不是要做伟大、体面的人了。

‖爹爹说：―这是我对于你们的希望。

‖
我们谈到夜阑才散。

所以花生食品虽然没有了，然而父亲底话现在还印在我心版上。

4. 邓小平讲话
在这短短的十几年内，我们国家发展得这么快，使人民高兴，世界瞩目。

这就足以证明三中全会以来路线、方针、政策的正确。

谁想变也变不了。

说过去说过来，就是一句话，坚
持这个路线、方针、政策不变。

改革开放以来，我们立的章程并不少，而且是全方位的。

经济、政治、科技、教育、文化、军事、外交等各个方面都有明确的方针和政策，而且有准确的表语言。

这次十三届八中全会开得好，肯定农村家庭联产承包责任制不变。

一变就人心不安，人们就会说中央的政策变了。

农村改革初期，安徽出了个―傻子瓜子‖问题。

当时许多人不舒服，说他赚了一百万，主张动他。

我说不能动，一动人们就会说政策变了，得不偿失。

像这一类的问题还有不少，如果处理不当，就很容易动摇我们的方针，影响改革的全局。

城乡改革的基本政策，一定要长期保持稳定。

当然，随着实践的发展，该完善的完善，该修补的修补，但总的要坚定不移。

即使没有新的主意也可以，就是不要变，不要使人们感到政策变了。

有了这一条，中国就大有希望。

5. 金三角洲
长江三角洲位于我国东海之滨，万里长江尾闾。

她西起南京，镇江，东临大海，北至通扬运河，南到杭州湾，面积35267平方公里。

是世界著名的大河三角洲之一。

她具有以下几个特点：地理位置优越。

是沟通内陆腹地的交通中心，并处于世界环球航线附近，与世界各大港口通航方便。

自然条件优越。

雨量充沛，温和湿润，适宜农耕和各种经济作物的种植以及多种经营的发展。

水土资源条件优越。

长江三
角洲经历了复杂的海陆沧桑之交。

年长日久，一个个出露水面的沙岛继而合并而成。

长江三角洲不仅有源源不断的长江水，而且镶嵌着一颗熠熠闪光的陆上明珠------太湖。

太湖面积三万六千顷，是我国五大淡水湖之一。

以太湖为中心，还有大小湖泊五十多个，这些星罗棋布的湖泊，就像一把珍珠撒在绿色的沃野上，使整个三角洲水土丰美，得天独厚，成为世界上不可多得的精粹之地。

长江三角洲具有悠久的开发历史，春秋战国时代（公元前722年----公元前221年），吴越国就依赖这里富蔗的经济基础得以发展，逐以―鱼米之乡‖，―丝绸之府‖著称于世。

到唐宋时期，这里已在全国经济发展中起着重要的作用。

经过数千年的辛勤开耕，这里的经济面貌日新月异，已成为我国重要的商品基地、工业基地、外贸进出口基地和科学文化中心。

President Carter
President Carter
President Carter has been calling his closest advisers together for what is called as a hard reappraisal of his administr ation’s troubles, but who will tell him the truth? You can almost put it down as a general rule in this town that presidents often invite “honest criticism” from their aides, bu t seldom get it, and usually don’t follow it when they do. The reasons for this are not obscure. The Oval Office is the most intimidating room in America. It imposes a kind of chivalrous respect on most visitors, and even those legislative lions who roar against the president on Capital Hill tend to usually lower their voices and follow their prepared speeches when they walk through the White House door. President Nixon was the most painful example of this conspiracy of silence. Even Henry Kissinger, who is not an excessively modest or silent man, hesitated to face President Nixon with the disasters he knew lay ahead. Enrlichman and Haldeman apparently saved their doubts for their memoirs, and the few While House aides who betrayed
their fears were regarded as enemies or worse. President Carter is a different and more complicated case. He is not a majestic personal figure like Roosevelt, and he doesn’t inspire fear like Johnson. He is elaborately patient and courteous with his visitors. In his first year in office, he has given all men and creeds, no
6. 中年的慵懒
大凡在四十岁的年龄，中国文化人传统观就是写自传的年龄了，远的不说，近百年内的就有好几本如《四十自述》一类的名著，散文里边便有俞平伯《中年》一篇，径直讲了中年是说不清楚的东西，―遥指青山是我们的归路‖。

意思就是太阳过了中午就称斜阳西下了，所以赶紧找到归宿归去来兮吧。

这样的心情，当然不可能再有青年时代的奋发向上。

说到底是年轻人的压力很大，处于创业阶段，需要不时地拼搏，而中年人大功告成，可以卸下担子，逃避风雨，享受一下所谓的宁静淡泊与闲适了。

这样，中年人很快就慵懒起来，包括近一百年，大凡名著都是三十岁前后作的，四十岁后除了自述，札记之类补白性质的东西外，鲜有创造性的发明，而国外很多作家老而弥健，创造力长盛不衰，甚至有些名家，还是四十岁过后才起炉灶来吃文化创作这碗饭的呢。

大约过去中国人因种种原因生命特别短暂，―人生七十古来稀‖，所以中年时限大大地提前，文化人的心理很快就见保守老迈，这种传统之下，即使今天，中年成名者亦数寥寥。

其实中年才是人生盛华的开始，不应贪懒，不应享受，不应以多躲在家里喝工夫茶为荣，继续青年时代的风雨跋涉，那种―遥指青山‖寻找归路的事当然要做，但将它放到八十岁后再去考虑吧。

7. 早年的上海
上海的字面意思是―位于海之上‖。

它位于长江流入大海之前最后一条支流的黄埔江畔。

3)城市的主要部分离海岸有十英里，横跨黄浦江两岸，政府划为大上海的面积共有320平方英里，直达黄浦江和长江的汇合处。

1842年，一艘英国军舰潜入长江口，攻占了吴凇炮台，
不发一弹就占领了上海。

从此上海变成了一座国际性城市。

英国人首先在距老城不远的地方，即黄浦江转弯处的烂泥地上盖起房屋和仓库。

他们运用计谋获得贸易权利，建造了住房、商店、俱乐部和板球场。

随后美国，德国，法国，俄国和日本的商人也来了。

他们都贪图同中国人通商，以夺取中国的金银财富。

在不到一百年的时间里，上海就变成了一座国际都市。

在这里，人们说七种语言，开设了许多商店，银行和工厂。

从此上海就成为国内外贸易的中心，同时也是教育和间谍活动的中心。

各种工业和大学创办起来了。

商会和工会也同医院、教堂、赛马场、以及豪华的娱乐场一起出现了。

上海原来只是货物中转中心，现在逐渐变成了一个工业城市。

英国人、日本人、美国人和法国人运进了各种机械。

他们建造码头、船坞、开办发动机厂、纺织厂、罐头食品厂、机器制造厂和家具制造厂等。

到了珍珠港事件之前，上海轻工业产品已占全国轻工业品的百分之六十。

上海日渐繁荣，过去必须进口的商品现在能就地制造了。

上海扩大了，上海发展了，它不仅已成为远东的进出口的大商埠，而且成为中国最大的工业制造中心。

它变得越来越重要。

8. 北京大学
十月十九日星期五。

秋天的下午，太阳朦朦胧胧的。

埃德加·斯诺的部分骨灰永远安放到了他年青时曾任教过的北京大学校园。

北京大学的前身是燕京大学。

它是一所贵族学校。

按理说，学生在政治上应该是保守的。

但是当时日军侵占华北，而内战依然不断。

在全国危机日益加深的情况下，激进主义思潮开始在校园蔓延。

到了1935年，燕京大学竟成为学生抗议运动的策源地。

由此爆发了全国抗日战争。

自那后，燕京大学这所外国教会学校发生了很大的变化，它逐渐变成了完全由中国人自己掌握的学校。

今天在北京大学的湖畔到处可以听到新一代大学生的欢声笑语。

9. 杭州-------―人间天堂‖
意大利著名旅行家马可波罗曾这样叙述他印象中的杭州：―这是世界上最美妙的城市，
它使人觉得自己在天堂。

‖在中国也流传着这样的话：―上有天堂，
下有苏杭。

‖杭州的名气主要在于风景如画的西湖。

西湖一年四季都美不胜收，宋代著名诗人苏东坡用―淡妆浓抹总相宜‖的诗句来赞誉西湖。

在杭州，您可以饱览西湖的秀色，也不妨漫步街头闹市，品尝一下杭州的名菜名点，还可以购上几样名特土产。

苏堤和白堤把西湖一分为二，仿佛两条绿色的缎带，飘逸于银波之上。

湖中心有三个小岛：阮公墩、湖心亭和小瀛洲。

湖水泛着涟漪，四周山林茂密，点缀着楼台亭阁，是我国最有名的旅游景点之一。

杭州人观西湖有个说法：―晴湖不如雨湖，雨湖不如夜湖。

10. 村姑
回了一趟乡下老家，我产生了想写一写乡村女孩子的念头。

20年前，我曾在乡下当过几年农民。

那时，20岁左右的乡村女孩子几乎都在棉花专业队里。

她们种棉花的生活倒也很有趣的，不仅有在烈日下喷药、锄草、给棉花整枝打杈等很辛苦的农活，也有在一块打闹、逗趣、说笑唱歌、相伴到几里路外的地方看电影这种充满青春气息的生活。

责任制后，这种棉花专业队自然不存在了。

女孩子们各自在自家的责任田里忙碌，倒有点寂寞和孤独哩。

但我这次回乡下老家，却发现如今的乡村女孩子又有了新的生活。

种地的时间用不了那么多。

她们都在想着门路挣钱。

我那村的女孩子，有一部分到村西的砖瓦窑厂出苦力，干些拉大板、码架之类的活；有一部分到私人或集体办的饼干厂上班；还有一部分到铸造厂打模子，一天都能挣二十多元钱。

清早一块骑自行车去上班，到晚上又一块骑自行车回村，说说笑笑，像一群喜鹊，叫人好羡慕她们啊。

她们的生活方式正极快地向城里姑娘们靠近。

手中有钱，便买高档的衣服、高档的皮鞋、高档的化妆品，有条件的，自行车不想骑了，干脆就买一辆木兰。

而对嫁妆的选择和购买，更形成了这些乡村女孩子显示自己和证实自己价值的一种重要形式。

第二部分英译汉
1．Shrinking is supposed to be a natural part of aging. But researchers at the Wingate Institute in Israel believe you can minimize height loss with moderate aerobic activity. In a study of 1,000 people, the researchers found that men who exercised lost only half as much height as men who never exercised--just 2.6 centimeters compared with 5.5 cm. "Physical activity may help
maintain skeletal integrity and reduce compression fractures in the vertebrae as you grow older," says Sherry Sherman, Ph.D., of the National Institute on Aging.
2．How Much Water Should People Drink?
Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.
The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.
The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait -- in each case, that is more than eight glasses.
There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.
People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water. Yet some also contain caffeine. This causes the body to expel more water. But the writers of the report say this does not mean the body loses too much water.
As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people
need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.
All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily.
It may have started with a misunderstanding. In nineteen-forty-five, the National Academy of Sciences published some guidelines. Its Food and Nutrition Board said a good amount of water for most adults was two-point-five liters daily. This was based on an average of one milliliter for each calorie of food eaten.
But that was only part of what the board said. It also said that most of this amount is contained in prepared foods.
3．The other outstanding feature is that the new inventions were for everyday use. The canals were arteries of communication: they were not made to carry pleasure boats, but barges. And the barges were not made to carry luxuries, but pots and pans and bales of cloth, boxes of ribbon, and all the common things that people buy by the pennyworth.
4．This might involve routine daily decisions----something as simple as skipping a favorite late-night TV show and getting to bed early, to be wide awake for a meeting the next morning.
Or it might involve longer-term resolves. A young widow with three children decided to invest her insurance settlement in a college education for herself. She considered the realities of a tight budget and little free time, but these seemed small sacrifices in return for the doors that a degree （学位）would open. T oday she is a highly paid financial consultant.
5．…In 1991, one of the most eventful years of this century, the world witnessed(目睹) the dramatic and transforming（转播）impact（影响）on those events of live television by satellite. The very definition of news was written from something that has happened to something that is happening at the very moment you are hearing it. …
These shots heard, and seen, around the world appeared under the aegis of the first global TV news company, Cable News Network. …
6．California has a large population of any of the states. Nearly 20,000,000 people live in California. In 1960 California had the second largest population, and New York was the first. Today, however, New York is the second with population of 18,000,000. Pennsylvania is the third with population of 12,000,000. The fourth state, Texas, has a population of 11,000,000.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh largest states in population are Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan. New Jersey, Florid, and Massachusetts are the eighth, ninth, and tenth largest states.
Although, Alaska is the largest state in size, it is the smallest in population. Alaska had only 303,000 people in 1970.
