之一:题目：不要抛弃学问（胡适1929年中国公学18级毕业赠言）诸位毕业同学：你们现在要离开母校了，我没有什么礼物送给你们，只好送你们一句话罢。
这一句话是：“不要抛弃学问。
”以前的功课也许有一大部分是为了这张毕业文凭不得已而做的。
从今以后，你们可以依自己的心愿去自由研究了。
趁现在年富力强的时候，努力做一种专门学问。
少年是一去不复返的，等到精力衰时，要做学问也来不及了。
即为吃饭计，学问绝不会辜负人的。
吃饭而不求学问，三年五年之后，你们都要被后进少年淘汰掉的。
到那时再想做点学问来补救，恐怕已太晚了。
有人说：“出去做事之后，生活问题亟须解决，哪有工夫去读书?即使要做学问，既没有图书馆，又没有实验室，哪能做学问?”我要对你们说：凡是要等到有了图书馆方才读书的，有了图书馆也不肯读书。
凡是要等到有了实验室方才做研究的，有了实验室也不肯做研究。
你有了决心要研究一个问题，自然会撙衣节食去买书，自然会想出法子来设置仪器。
至于时间，更不成问题。
达尔文一生多病，不能多做工，每天只能做一点钟的工作。
你们看他的成绩!每天花一点钟看十页有用的书，每年可看三千六百多页书，三十年读约十一万页书。
诸位，十万页书可以使你成一个学者了。
可是，每天看三种小报也得费你一点钟的工夫；四圈麻将也得费你一点半钟的光阴。
看小报呢，还是打麻将呢，还是努力做一个学者呢?全靠你们自己的选择!易卜生说：“你的最大责任是把你这块材料铸造成器。
”学问便是铸器的工具。
抛弃了学问便是毁了你自己。
再会了!你们的母校眼睁睁地要看你们十年之后成什么器。

英汉翻译：Mother's Letter to the WorldDear World：My son starts school today．It’s going to be strange and new to him for a while．And I wish you would sort of treat him gently．You see，up to now，he’s been king of the roost．He’s been boss of the back yard．I have always been around to repair his wounds，and to soothe his feelings．But now― things are going to be different．This morning，he’s going to walk down the front steps，wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow．To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage．So，World，I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know．Teach him―but gently，if you can．Teach him that for every scoundrel，there is a hero；that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader；that for every enemy there is a friend．Teach him the wonders of books．Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky，bees in the sun，and flowers on the green hill．Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat．Teach him to have faith in his own ideas，even if everyone else tells him they are wrong．Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder，but never toput a price on his heart and soul．Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob．．．and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right．Teach him gently，World，but don’t coddle him，because only the test of fire makes fine steel．This is a big order，World，but see what you can do．He’s such a nice little fellow．英译汉之：新闻材料（注意：标题的翻译要出彩）How China Does 'The Bachelor'More than 50,000 young beauties from across China have lined up to win a date with one of 18 young, millionaire bachelors. The contest is the latest in a trend of beauty contests for the rich that has been criticized heavily in the media, on the net, and even by the government.The new contest was organized online, and its first round was held simultaneously in several major cities. Most contestants have already gone home in defeat, having failed an examination by feng shui masters to see whether they have a 'lucky face', according to an article on the People's Daily'sEnglish website.Only 18 finalists will ultimately date - and, if they're lucky, marry - the eligible young men.Editorials in the online edition of China Daily, mirroring the overwhelmingly negative public reaction, blast the contest as 'money worship' and accuse it of treating women as sex objects. Editorialist Zhang Tianpin complains that the contest is the kind of scandalous behavior that makes many Chinese hate wealthy people.Elites should not to flaunt their money to seek beautiful women as partners but invest their money in activities for the benefit of society,' he argues.Some defend the contest by saying that at least the women are mature and chosen not solely for their looks. Men are looking for the whole package: 'beauty, good temperament, psychological balance, sound character, good educational qualification, high moral values, love, and respect for the institution of marriage,' asserts freelance journalist Huang Yunxiang. Indeed, most of the contestants are between 28 and 30, college-educated and have steady jobs.China has seen a steady expansion of elite dating contests, TV shows and websites in recent years. Golden BachelorMatchmakers, a high-end dating site, hires 'Love Hunters' to scour the country for attractive women between 5 feet,5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches. Then, luxurious parties with steep entrance fees pair up rich men with these carefully selected beauties.It is not like they use money to find true love. They just want to have the best options,' Golden Bachelor Chairman Xu Tianli told China Daily.V ocal critics, however, are uncomfortable with the impact of these beauty contests on Chinese culture. According to an online article in the Global Times, the government has ordered all TV stations to stop showing 22-year-old fashion model Ma Nuo after she made comments that Chinese audiences deemed 'too materialistic.'On a TV dating show, Ma refused an unemployed man's offer of a bicycle ride, saying: 'I would rather weep in a BMW than smile on your bicycle.'中国各地五万多名年轻美女报名应征与18位年轻的单身男富豪约会的机会，这是美女争嫁富豪潮流的新一波，媒体、网络甚至中国政府一直在对这种活动进行严厉谴责。
