广外翻译专业英译汉练习(附参考译文)：hate

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。

Malgré cela, elles en tirent moins profit que les garçons. Certes, elles redoublent moins et obtiennent de meilleurs résultats dès le primaire ; elles réussissent mieux que les garçons au brevet des collèges et au baccalauréat. Mais, dès le lycée, àréussite égale, les filles s’orientent moins que les garçons vers les filières sélectives et valorisées sur le marché du travail. Elles sont, en effet, sous-représentées dans les filières scientifique et industrielle, et surreprésentées dans les filières littéraire et tertiaire, moins porteuses en termes d’emploi. Cette autosélection des filles résulte, en grande partie, de la persistance dans la société de stéréotypes en matière de rôles sexuels, qui pèsent au moment des choix d’orientation.Ainsi, une Convention pour la promotion de l’égalité des chances entre le s filles et les garçons dans l’éducation nationale, mise en place par le gouvernement, a lancé des campagnes d’information sur la mixité des métiers et des filières scientifique, technologique et professionnelle en direction des familles et des jeunes. Il s’avère, en effet, que l’attitude des enseignants ne contrebalance pas l’influence familiale limitative sur les trajectoires scolaires des filles.Face à une mixité désavantageuse pour les filles, certains ont récemment proposéde mettre fin àce système. D’autres envisagent la séparation temporaire des sexes pour certaines matières. Mais renoncer au mélange des garçons et des filles à l’école serait une erreur, car il permet de faire l’apprentissage de l’égalité entre les sexes et d’une société mixte.III.

广外研究生翻译作业附译文

07级研究生翻译作业（汉译英）尺素寸心（节选）余光中回信，固然可畏，不回信，也绝非什么乐事。

书架上经常叠着百多封未回之信，“债龄”或长或短，长的甚至一年以上，那样的压力，也绝非一个普通的罪徒所能负担的。

一叠未回的信，就像一群不散的阴魂，在我罪深孽重的心底幢幢作祟。

理论上说来，这些信当然是要回的。

我可以坦然向天发誓，在我清醒的时刻，我绝未存心不回人信。

问题出在技术上。

给我一整个夏夜的空闲，我该先回一年半前的那封信呢，还是七个月前的这封信？隔了这么久，恐怕连谢罪自谴的有效期也早过了吧。

在朋友的心目中，你早已沦为不值得计较的妄人。

“莫名其妙！”是你在江湖上一致的评语。

其实，即使终于鼓起全部的道德勇气，坐在桌前，准备偿付信债于万一，也不是轻易能如愿的。

七零八落的新简旧信，漫无规则地充塞在书架上，抽屉里，有的回过，有的未回，“只在此山中，云深不知处”，要找到你决心要回的那一封，耗费的时间和精力，往往数倍于回信本身。

再想象朋友接信时的表情，不是喜出望外，而是余怒重炽，你那一点决心就整个崩溃了。

你的债，永无清偿之日。

不回信，绝不等于忘了朋友，正如世上绝无忘了债主的负债人。

在你惶恐的深处，恶魇的尽头，隐隐约约，永远潜伏着这位朋友的怒眉和冷眼，不，你永远忘不了他。

你真正忘掉的，而且忘得那么心安理得，是那些已经得到你回信的朋友。

我的译文：An Excerpt fromUnanswered Lettersvs Unbounded FriendshipBy Yu GuangzhongAnswering letters does make me flinch; however, not answering them allows me no release at all. Dozens of unanswered letters pile up on my bookshelf, like a sum of debt waiting to be paid. Some have been waiting there for over one year, while some have newly arrived. The pressure from paying off that debt is far beyond what a junior debtor can endure. The stack of unanswered letters are, like a group of haunting ghosts, continually pestering my guilt-loaded soul. Generally, the letters will certainly be replied to. I can even swear by heaven that never do I have the intention not to reply when my mind is clear. The problem is how to reply. Even if I spared myself a whole summer night, I would be wavering on which letter to reply to first, the 18-month-old one or the 7-month-old? The reply has been delayed for so long that I’m afraid even heartfelt apology and self-accusation have already become overdue. In friends’ heart, I’ve been marginalized as a cocky man unworthy of care. “Unaccountable”! That is their unanimous comment on me.In fact, even though I pull myself together and settle down at the desk, ready to pay off the debt, my determination will easily be split up by doubts. Old and new letters, answered or yet-to-be, cram the shelf and the drawer in disorder, which reminds me of two verses: “He’s simply in the very mountain. In the depths of clouds, his whereabouts are unknown.” (from Calling on a Hermit in Vain by Jia Dao). Picking out the letter I decide to answer from such a mess will cost as multiplied time and energy as answering the letter does. Moreover, on visualizing the facial expression of friends when they receive the reply — rekindled lingering anger rather than surprised delight — my tiny amount of determination dwindle into naught. Consequently, the date when my debt is paid off extends into eternity. Although I ha ven’t answered the letters, I can never forget my friends, any more than a debtor can forget his creditor. In the depth of my disturbed and apologetic heart looms the indelible angry and icy look of my friends. Never can I forget them. Friends who really fall into oblivion, from which guilt is totally absent, are those who have received my reply.David Pollard的译文：Thus Friends Absent SpeakWritten by Yu Guangzhong and Translated by David PollardIf it is conceded that replying to letters is to be dreaded, on the other hand not replying to letters is by no means a matter of unalloyed bliss. Normally a hundred or so letters are stacked on my bookshelf, of diverse maturity of debt outstanding, the longest being over a year. That kind of pressure is more than an ordinary sinner can bear. A stack of unanswered letters battens on me like a bevy of plaintive ghosts and plays havoc with my smitten conscience. In principle the letters are there for replying to. I can swear in all honesty that I have never while of sound mind determined not to answer people’s letters. The problem is a technical one. Suppose I had a whole summer night at my disposal: should I first answer the letter that was sent eighteen months ago, or that one that was sent seven months ago? After such a long delay even the expiry date for apology and self-recrimination would surely have passed? In your friends’ eyes, you have already stepped beyond the pale, are of no account. On the grapevine your reputation is “that impossible fellow”.Actually even if you screw up all your moral courage and settle down at you desk to pay off your letter debt come what may, the thing is easier said than done. Old epistles and new missives are jumbled up together and stuffed in the drawers or strewn on shelves; some have been answered, some not. As the poet was told about the recluse he was looking for: “I know he’s in these mountains, but in this mist I can’t tell where.” The time and energy you would spend to find the letter you have decided to answer would be several times that needed to write the reply itself. If you went on to anticipate that your friend’s reaction to receiving your letter would be less “surprised by joy” than “resentment rekindled”, then your marrow would turn to water, and your debt would never be cleared.To leave letters unanswered is not equivalent to forgetting friends, no more than it is conceivable that debtors can forget their creditors. At the bottom of such disquietude, at the end of your nightmares, there forever lurks the shadowy presence of this friend with his angry frown and baleful looks: no, you can never forget him. Those who you really put out of your mind, and do so without qualm, are those friends who have already been replied to.Note:“尺素寸心”假如直译则不达，只好用对策。

广外翻译专业英译汉练习3(附参考译文)Golden Fruit

Golden Fruit neOf 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 macedoine de fruits is the title bestowed on two prune s西梅干and a piece of rhubarbs大黄, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and raspberries 木莓and gooseberries 醋栗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 pip 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 supply of orange blossom, the promise of so much golden fruit cut short. However, the world must go on.…..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 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 it into the bag.黄金水果一年四季，水果之多，我独爱橙子。

2020年广外MTI汉英翻译真题与翻译讲解！

2020年广外MTI汉英翻译真题与翻译讲解！今天和大家聊聊2020年广外MTI汉译英真题和翻译技巧。

真题如下：老同学们互相盘问这，询问那，二十年过去，彼此传递的，却已经都是生死讯息了啊。

——老家那个老毕，还记得不？哪个哪个？就是那个拉得一手好胡琴那个。

已经去世了。

是吗？真的吗？可不是嘛。

大前年，胃癌。

年龄不到五十。

家里还有两个孩子，爱人还下岗。

怪可怜的。

分析：2019年广外考了“忆清华种种”，散文题材。

今年也延续了这一出题思路，仍然考的散文类题材。

这次考题，理解起来不难，但是中文很形象，句式松散，用词精炼，要转换成地道英文，着实有些难度，主要体现在几个方面：1.选词。

例如，“互相盘问”怎么翻？总不能直接直译为“ask'。

“生死讯息”，怎么处理？“哪个哪个”，“是吗”，“可不是嘛”这样的语气也很难找到恰当的表达处理。

所以词汇上对同学要求比较高，如果平常是死记硬背，很可能到这里会出现“词穷”或者“乱用词”的情况。

2.句子结构。

中文都是“短句”，而且逻辑关系很模糊，这时候在转换为英文时，断句就是一个难题，怎么搭建英文句子结构，是大家需要好好思考的一个问题。

大家可以尝试先翻译试试，译文之后，可以把译文发到留言评论区，Jacky抽查点评几位同学哦。

译完以后，再往下翻，查看参考译文哦！老同学们互相盘问这，询问那，二十年过去，彼此传递的，却已经都是生死讯息了啊。

20 years have past, when old classmates greet and chat with each other, the messages they deliver,however, are already about life and death.分析：”互相盘问这，询问那“，不要直译为“ask here and there'，而需要结合语境，理解为“互相寒暄”，“互相交谈”，翻译为'greet and chat with each other'，这样更符合语境。

广外翻译专业英译汉练习6(附参考译文)He was a man offifty

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。

老师，下面是广外2010年翻译学的英译汉原文以及我的译文。

虽然不难，可是翻译过程中遇上了一些措辞问题。

可不可以麻烦老师有空给我看一下。

不是很急的。

呵呵。

不胜感激！The relationship that science keeps with art has long been from one-sided wish. That is, while science is in deep love with art, art requites this love by being arrogant and unapproachable. Many renowned scientists love art all their lives. They know art, and are very good at getting fulfillment from art to enhance their noble spirit or to help relieve themselves from burdens of life. On the contrary, few of literary artists love and understand natural science and engineering technology. Among the reasons why artists stand in awe before science or keep a respectful distance from science, one is that science involves a huge stack of abstruse mathematical formulas. However, leaving aside mathematics and bypassing a stack of recondite knowledge, we are still able to understand and appreciate the basic principles of a science. It is just like we are still able to give a sympathetic response to its main melody, greatly admiring the music although we can read nothing of the score of Mozart’s musical pieces.的关系，科学与艺术保持长久以来一直是片面的愿望。

中译英天衢丹阙:老北京风物图卷首都北京，是国家历史文化名城，世界著名古都。

千年帝京，六朝故都，保存了极其丰富的文物古迹、自然景观和丰富的文化内涵与非物质文化遗产。

著名建筑学家梁思成先生曾称之为现存世界上最伟大之中古都市。

其中尤以南起永定门北至钟鼓楼，全长7.8公里的中轴线，世界上绝无仅有，充分展现了古都北京城市的特点和中华悠久历史文化的魅力。

画家刘洪宽先生怀着对老北京的深厚情感和对古都的热爱，花甲之年，创作了这幅50余米的国画。

他凭借儿时记忆，实地写生和查阅历史资料，由南到北，再现了老北京中轴线上的人情风物，历经五年心血筑成，令人敬服。

他笔下的老北京古韵犹存，街道商铺、行人市景与老城门城墙交相辉映，这可谓现代版的《清明上河图》，呈现了一幅美丽的可以“触摸历史”的宏大画卷。

最近北京市领导已经正式宣布了把这条中轴线申报世界文化遗产。

我想，这幅画卷定会为申遗增色。

画家作者知我60多年来，一直为古都的保护奔走于古城内外、大街小巷和中轴线上，与古都结下了深厚的情缘，特嘱我为序。

于是写了几句知语感言，权以充之，并借以为画卷出版之祝贺。

至于画中的精美图景和丰富的文化内涵，还请高明观者自己去观赏和评说，在此不作多赘。

Old City of Beijing: Its Grandeur and SplendorsBeijing, capital city of China, boasts the longest history as a well-known ancient capital city in the world. Presently, it is the most well-known historical and cultural in China. As the capital of six dynasties for over 1,000 years, it is home to a world of historic relics, natural landscapes, cultural profundity and intangible cultural heritages. Mr. Liang Sicheng, a celebrated architect, called it the greatest ancient capital city existent in the world. The most typical of the city's splendors is the 7.8-kilometer axis, which starts at Yongding Gate in the south and ends with the Bell Drum Tower in the north. It well features Beijing as an ancient capital city full of charm of its splendid Chinese culture.Mr. Liu Hongkuan, a painter who had cherished profound love for the old city of Beijing, created this over 50-meter-long Chinese-style scroll entitled Old City of Beijing: Its Grandeur and Splendors in his 60s. Based on his childhood recollections, his sketch from nature and his review of historical records, he reproduced the grandeur and splendors along the axis in the scroll over a span of five years, an admirable conduct indeed. In the scroll, he portrayed Beijing as an ancient city of everlasting profundity with streets, shops, passers-by and bazaars in perfect harmony with its old gates and old walls, making his scroll a modern version of Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, an artistic work by a Song Dynasty painter. The scroll offers easy access to the historical beauties and majesties of the old city of Beijing.Recently, leaders of the Beijing Municipal government have officially announced that they will file an application for world cultural heritage for this axis. It is my firm conviction that this scroll will serve as a great boost for the successful application.For over 60 years of my acquaintance with him, Mr. Liu has been endeavoring to protect the old city of Beijing through going into and outside of the city and walking around city streets and Hutongs and along the axis. And by so doing, he has cultivated a profound love for this ancient capital. He once urged me to write a preface for this artistic work and here, I just write a few words about what I feel for the moment and intend it as my congratulations on the publication of this scroll. As to the spectacular landscapes in the scroll and their profound cultural connotations, I think our readers will surely be able to decode them and appreciate them.。

广外翻译专业英译汉练习7(附参考译文)翻The_Art_of_Dancing

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。

07级研究生翻译作业（汉译英）尺素寸心（节选）余光中回信，固然可畏，不回信，也绝非什么乐事。

书架上经常叠着百多封未回之信，“债龄”或长或短，长的甚至一年以上，那样的压力，也绝非一个普通的罪徒所能负担的。

一叠未回的信，就像一群不散的阴魂，在我罪深孽重的心底幢幢作祟。

理论上说来，这些信当然是要回的。

我可以坦然向天发誓，在我清醒的时刻，我绝未存心不回人信。

问题出在技术上。

给我一整个夏夜的空闲，我该先回一年半前的那封信呢，还是七个月前的这封信？隔了这么久，恐怕连谢罪自谴的有效期也早过了吧。

在朋友的心目中，你早已沦为不值得计较的妄人。

“莫名其妙！”是你在江湖上一致的评语。

其实，即使终于鼓起全部的道德勇气，坐在桌前，准备偿付信债于万一，也不是轻易能如愿的。

再想象朋友接信时的表情，不是喜出望外，而是余怒重炽，你那一点决心就整个崩溃了。

你的债，永无清偿之日。

不回信，绝不等于忘了朋友，正如世上绝无忘了债主的负债人。

在你惶恐的深处，恶魇的尽头，隐隐约约，永远潜伏着这位朋友的怒眉和冷眼，不，你永远忘不了他。

你真正忘掉的，而且忘得那么心安理得，是那些已经得到你回信的朋友。

Her head was half bent to watch her shoes stir the circling leaves. Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity. It was a look, almost, of pale surprise; the dark eyes were so fixed to the world that no move escaped them. Her dress was white and it whispered.

广外翻译专业英译汉练习7(附参考译文)：early autumn

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。

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. The results of investigation are presented in the following table. Write an essay to describe and discuss the findings. You should also draw your own conclusions based on the information given in the table.Directions:Based on the assumptio n that the youn ger one starts to lear n a foreig n Ian guage, the higher the proficiency one would achieve ultimately, the provincial government of Guangdong has decided that in five years 'time, English course should be offered from Grade One in all primary schools of the Province, be they in cities or in rural areas. Write an essay of 500-600 words unequivocally expressing your stand on this issue. Whatever position you take, make sure to justify your decision. Give a title to your essay.Task 4: Tran slatio n (50%)(1) Directi ons: Tran slate the followi ng paragraph from En glish into Chin ese.And speak ing of freedom, is not the author free, as few men are free? Is he not secure, as few men are secure? The tools of his in dustry are so com mon and so cheap that they have almost ceased to have commercial value. He needs no bulky pile of raw material, no elaborate apparatus, no service of men or ani mals. He is depe ndent for his occupati on upon no one but himself, and nothing outside him that matters. He is the sovereign of an empire, self supporting, self-contained …No one can deprive him of his stock in trade ; no one can force him to exercise his faculty aga inst his will; no one can preve nt him exercis ing it as he chooses. The pen is the great liberator of men and nations. No chains can bind, no poverty can choke, no tariff can restrict the free play of his mind …(2) Directi ons: Tran slate the followi ng paragraph from Chin ese into En glish王冕见天色晚了，牵了牛回去。

07级研究生翻译作业（汉译英）David Pollard的译文：Thus Friends Absent SpeakWritten by Yu Guangzhong and Translated by David PollardIf it is conceded that replying to letters is to be dreaded, on the other hand not replying to letters is by no means a matter of unalloyed bliss. Normally a hundred or so letters are stacked on my bookshelf, of diverse maturity of debt outstanding, the longest being over a year. That kind of pressure is more than an ordinary sinner can bear. A stack of unanswered letters battens on me like a bevy of plaintive ghosts and plays havoc with my smitten conscience. In principle the letters are there for replying to. I can swear in all honesty that I have never while of sound mind determined not to answer people’s letters. The problem is a technical one. Suppose I had a whole summer night at my disposal: should I first answer the letter that was sent eighteen months ago, or that one that was sent seven months ago? After such a long delay even the expiry date for apology and self-recrimination would surely have passed? In your friends’ eyes, you have already stepped beyond the pale, are of no account. On the grapevine your reputation is “that impossible fellow”.Actually even if you screw up all your moral courage and settle down at you desk to pay off your letter debt come what may, the thing is easier said than done. Old epistles and new missives are jumbled up together and stuffed in the drawers or strewn on shelves; some have been answered, some not. As the poet was told about the recluse he was looking for: “I know he’s in these mountains, but in this mist I can’t tell where.” The time and energy you would spend to find the letter you have decided to answer would be several times that needed to write the reply itself. If you went on to anticipate that your friend’s reaction to receiving your letter would be less “surprised by joy” than “resentmentrekindled”, then your marrow would turn to water, and your debt would never be cleared.To leave letters unanswered is not equivalent to forgetting friends, no more than it is conceivable that debtors can forget their creditors. At the bottom of such disquietude, at the end of your nightmares, there forever lurks the shadowy presence of this friend with his angry frown and baleful looks: no, you can never forget him. Those who you really put out of your mind, and do so without qualm, are those friends who have already been replied to.Note:“尺素寸心”假如直译则不达，只好用对策。
