三、段落翻译
They tell us that we are weak, unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. The battle is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Sir, we have no selection. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat, but in submission and slavery! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!

们什么时候才能强大一些呢？是下个星期吗？是明年吗？是我们完全被解除武装之时吗？犹豫不决、无所作为就能使我们积聚力量吗？难道只有仰面而卧、心存幻想，直至让敌人捆住我们的手脚，我们才能找到有效的抵御办法吗？先生们，假如我们适当地运用造物主赋予我们的力量，我们就不弱小。我们拥有300万为争取神圣自由而武装起来的人民，我们拥有这样的国家，这是敌人可能派遣来的任何军队都无法战胜的。战争的胜利不仅仅属于强者，胜利还属于警觉的人、主动的人、无畏的人。先生们，我们已别无选择。即使我们卑躬屈膝，指望从战争中脱身，也为时已晚。除了屈服，沦为奴隶，我们没有退路！战争已迫在眉睫——让它到来吧！先生们，请允许我重复一遍：让它到来吧！

三、段落翻译
In some cultures 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' sense of space.Thus just as different perceptions of time may create cultural conflicts,so too many different perceptions of space.
在一些文化中， 空间感觉的重要方面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，在北美人彼此感觉舒适所需的空间距离大约是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彼此的空间感。正如不同的时间观可能会造成文化冲突，不同的空间观也会引发同样的问题。

三、段落翻译
Voice messages of the final 102 minutes at the World Trade Center have emerged.They began as calls for help,information,guidance.They quickly turned into soundings desperation and anger,and love.Now they are the remembered voices of the men and women who were trapped on the high floor of the twin towers.
Collected by reporters for The New York Times,these last words give human form to an all but invisible strand of this catastrophic ;the advancing destruction across the top 19 floors of the north tower and the top 33of the south,was most severe.Of the 2823 believed dead in the attack,at least 1946,or 69peercent,were killed on those upper floors. Rescue workers did not get near them.Photographers could not record their faces.Yet like messages in an electronic bottle from people marooned in some distant sky,their last words offer not only a broad andchilling views of the devastated zones ,but the only window onto acts of bravery,decency and grace at a brutal time.

由《纽约时报》的记者收集的这些最后一眼让人们以一种看不见的形式再次感受这场灾难：北楼最上面的19层和南楼最上面的33层遭受的损失最为惨重，在据说已经死亡的2832人中，至少有1946人，或者说69％的人，是在这些楼层上。
救援人员没能靠近他们。摄影师没能拍下他们的脸。然而，正如在遥远的天边陷入险境的人们在黑匣子里留下的信息一样，他们的遗言不仅让人们感受令人不寒而栗的灾难场景，还让人们了解到在这样一个残酷的时刻，仍然存在着勇敢、体面和风度。

In France,as in many other European countries,friends generally are of the same sex,and friendship is seen as basically a relationship between men.Frenchwomen laugh at the idea that "woman can't be friends,"but they also admit sometimes that for woman "it's a different thing."And many French people doubt the possibility of a friendship between a man and a 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 meaning of "pal"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”，但更接近“老铁”或“哥们”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。

译
Americans have a warmth and friendliness which is less superficial than many foreigners think .They are considered sentimental.When on ceremonial occasions they see a flag,or attend parades celebrating America's glorious past,tears may well into their eyes.Reunions with family and friends tend to be emotional,too.They like to dress correctly, even if"correctly"means flamboyantly.They love to boast,though often with togue in check.They can laugh at themselves and their country,and they can be very self-critical,while remaining always intenselypatriotic.They have a wide knowledge of everyday things,and a keen interest in their particular city and state.Foreigners sometimes complain,however,that they have little interest in or knowledge of the outsides world.

三、段落翻译
A concert that took place in Jerusalem on July 7,2001 produced an uproar in Israel.Israel Art Festival,the world-famous conductor Daniel Barenboim was leading a German orchestra in performing the music of Richard Wagner,an anti-Semitic German composer,Hitler's favorite musician.In more than 50 years after the founding of the state,there has been an informal ban on the public performance of Wagener's workers in Israel.For many Israelites and Holocaust survivors,the music of Wagner is indelibly associated with Hitler regime.Though Wagner's workers are widely known in the world and still hold the stage,the mere mention of the name Wagner still provokes angry outbursts and denunciations from Israeli public.
However,Barenboim insists that Wagner's anti-Semitism should neither be ignored nor simply be equated with his music,which is worthy of appreciation because of its artistic value ,and also that a democratic society is not ban people from hearing the works .

色列引起了轩然大波。世界著名的指挥家丹尼尔?巴伦博伊姆正在率领德国管弦乐团在以色列艺术节上演奏理查德?瓦格纳的音乐，而瓦格纳是一个反犹太的德国作曲家，也是希特勒最欣赏的音乐家。建国以来的50 多年里，以色列一直都有这么一条不成文的禁忌——不公开演出瓦格纳的任何作品。因为对许多以色列犹太人和二战大屠杀的幸存者来说，瓦格纳的音乐是和希特勒的政权紧紧联系在一起的。尽管瓦格纳的作品在全世界范围内广为人知并广泛演出，但在以色列只要一提起瓦格纳就会激发人们的愤怒和谴责。
但巴伦博伊姆坚持认为，瓦格纳的反犹太主义思想既不能被忽视，也不可简单地把它等同于他的音乐。他的音乐史由于它所具有的艺术价值而值得人们欣赏，一个民主的社会不应当阻止人们欣赏这样的作品。

三、段落翻译
Father's heavily starched shirts were a problem.When he put one on,he pulled it down his head ,and thrust his arm blindly out right and left in a hunt for 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 he would hear it beginning to tear .That disgusted him.He hated any evidence of weakness,either in people or things.In his wrath he would strike out hander than ever as he felt around for the sleeves.Then would come a sharp crackling noise as the shirt ripped open ,and a loud wailed from Mother.
