Ⅱ. Translate the following passage into Chinese.
In some culture a significant aspect of spatial perception is shown by the amount of "personal space" people need between themselves and
others to feel comfortable and not crowed. North Americans, for instance, seem to require about four feet of space between themselves and the people near them to feel comfortable. On the other hand, people from Arab countries and Latin America feel comfortable when they are close to each other. People from different cultures, therefore, may unconsciously infringe on each other's sense of space. Thus just as different perception of time may create cultural conflicts, so too may different perceptions of space.
Translation
在某些文化中，空间感觉的一个重要的体现于人们所需要的彼此感觉舒适却又不觉得拥挤的“私人空间”。

例如，北美人彼此感觉舒适所需要的空间距离大约是4英尺。

而阿拉伯人和拉美人反而是彼此靠近才会感觉舒服。

因此，不同文化的人可能会无意间侵犯别人的空间感。

正如不同的时间观可能会造成文化冲突，不同的空间观也可能引发同样的问题。

Passage Translation
In France, as in many other European countries, friends generally are of the same sex, and friendship is seen basically a relationship between men. Frenchwomen laugh at the idea that "women can't be friends," but they also admit sometimes that for women "it's a different thing. " And many French people doubt the possibility a friendship between man and woman. There is also the kind of relationship within a group——men and women who have worked together for a long time, who may be very close, sharing great loyalty and warmth of feeling. They may call one another copains, a word that in English becomes "friends" but has more feeling of "pals" or "buddies". In French eyes this is not friendship, although two members of such a group may well be friends.
如同其他许多欧洲国家一样，在法国，朋友通常是在同性之间交往的，而友谊被认为基本上是男人之间的一种关系。

法国妇女嘲笑“女人不能成为朋友”这种说法，但她们有时也承认，对女人来说，朋友是“另一回事儿”。

另外，许多法国人对男女之间是否可能存在友谊表示怀疑。

在一个团体中存在着这样一种关系，男女在一起工作了很长一段时间，他们之间的关系可能很密切，彼此忠诚，感觉亲切。

他们可能彼此称copains——这个词的英文意思是“朋友”，但却更接近“老铁”或“哥们”的含义。

在法国人眼里这不是友谊，虽然这种团体中的两个人很可能成为朋友。

Passage Translation
Father's heavily starched shirt were a problem. When he put one on, he pulled it down over his head, and thrust his arms blindly out right and left in a hunt for the sleeves. A new shirt was strong enough to survive these strains without splitting, but life with Father rapidly weakened it, and the first thing he knew was that he would hear it beginning to tear. That disgusted him. He hated any evidence of weaknesses, either in people or thing. In his wrath he would strike out harder than ever as he felt around for the sleeves. Then would come a sharp cracking noise as the shirt ripped open, and a loud wail from Mother.

Passage Translation
From age eight to eleven, I attended a parochial school in Bath, England. It was a small school composed of four classes with about 25 children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher was responsible for teaching all subjects to the children in their class. However, occasionally the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broackes would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subject in which he was especially interested. He took a great interest in me and he quickly discovered that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often waylay me as I was going to class and produce a piece of paper from his pocket, always stopped me on the way I came into the classroom, give me a piece of paper from his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. They kindled within me a love of mathematics and problem-solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun.
从8岁到11岁，我在英格兰巴思的一所教会小学上学．那是一所很小的学校，由四个班级组成，每个班大约二十五个孩子，按年龄分班．一般都是由一个老师负责教一个班的全部课程．但是校长罗纳德布罗克斯偶尔也会到班里来，用大约一个半小时的时间讲授他特别喜欢的课程．他对我很感兴趣，并且很快就知道我
喜欢破解难题．他经常在我进教室的路上拦住我，从口袋里掏出一张纸条给我，上面通常写着数学或逻辑方面的难题．随着时间的推移，题目难度逐步增大，可我非常喜欢．这些小纸条点燃了我对数学和难题的热爱，这种热爱一直保持到今天．当我找出答案时，我会觉得那种智力活动很有价值，或许更重要的是，那是要一种巨大的乐趣。
