震撼世界的审判中英互译
The Trial That Rocked the WorldJohn Scopes1、A buzz ran through the crowd as I took my place in the packed court on that sweltering July day in 1925. The counsel for my defence was the famous criminal lawyer Clarence Darrow. Leading counsel for the prosecution was William Jennings Bryan, the silver-tongued orator , three times Democratic nominee for President of the United States, and leader of the fundamentalist movement that had brought about my trial.2、A few weeks before I had been an unknown school-teacher in Dayton,a little town in the mountains of Tennessee. Now I was involved in a trial reported the world over. Seated in court, ready to testify on my behalf, were a dozen distinguished professors and scientists, led by Professor Kirtley Mather of Harvard University. More than 100 reporters were on hand, and even radio announcers, who for the first time in history were to broadcast a jury trial. "Don't worry, son, we'll show them a few tricks," Darrow had whispered, throwing a reassuring arm round my shoulder as we were waiting for the court to open.3、The case had erupted round my head not long after I arrived in Dayton as science master and football coach at the secondary school. For a number of years a clash had been building up between the fundamentalists and the modernists. The fundamentalists adhered to a literal interpretation of the Old Testament. The modernists, on the otherhand, accepted the theory advanced by Charles Darwin -- that all animal life, including monkeys and men, had evolved from a common ancestor.4、Fundamentalism was strong in Tennessee, and the state legislature had recently passed a law prohibiting the teaching of "any theory that denies the story of creation as taught in the Bible." The new law was aimed squarely at Darwin's theory of evolution. An engineer, George Rappelyea, used to argue with the local people against the law. During one such argument, Rappelyea said that nobody could teach biology without teaching evolution. Since I had been teaching biology, I was sent for.5、"Rappelyea is right," I told them.6、"Then you have been violating the law," one of them Said.7、"So has every other teacher," I replied. "Evolution is explained in Hunter's Civic Biology, and that's our textbook."8、Rappelyea then made a suggestion. "Let's take this thing to court," he said, "and test the legalityof it."9、When I was indicted on May 7, no one, least of all I, anticipated that my case would snowball into one of the most famous trials in U. S. history. The American Civil Liberties Union announced that it would take my case to the U. S Supreme Court if necessary to “establish that a teacher may tell the truth without being sent to jail." Then Bryan volunteered to assist the state in prosecuting me. Immediately therenownedlawyer Clarence Darrow offered his services to defend me. Ironically, I had not known Darrow before my trial but I had met Bryan when he had given a talk at my university. I admired him, although I did not agree with his views.10、By the time the trial began on July 10, our town of 1,500 people had taken on a circusatmosphere. The buildings along the main street were festoonedwith banners. The streets around the three-storey red brick law court sproutedwith rickety stands selling hot dogs, religious books and watermelons. Evangelists set up tents to exhortthe passersby. People from the surrounding hills, mostly fundamentalists, arrived to cheer Bryan against the " infidel outsiders." Among them was John Butler, who had drawn up the anti-evolution law. Butler was a 49-year-old farmer who before his election had never been out of his native county.11、The presiding judge was John Raulston, a florid-faced man who announced: "I'm just a reg’lar mountaineer jedge." Bryan, ageing and paunchy , was assisted in his prosecution by his son, also a lawyer, and Tennessee's brilliant young attorney-general, Tom Stewart. Besides the shrewd 68-year-old Darrow, my counsel included the handsome and magnetic Dudley Field Malone, 43, and Arthur Garfield Hays, quiet, scholarly and steeped in the law. In a trial in which religion played a key role, Darrow was an agnostic, Malone a Catholic and Hays a Jew. My father had come from Kentucky to be with me for the trial.12、The judge called for a local minister to open the session with prayer, and the trial got under way. Of the 12 jurors, three had never read any book except the Bible. One couldn't read. As my father growled, "That's one hell of a jury!"13、After the preliminary sparring over legalities, Darrow got up to make his opening statement. "My friend the attorney-general says that John Scopes knows what he is here for," Darrow drawled. "I know what he is here for, too. He is here because ignorance and bigotryare rampant, and it is a mighty strong combination."14、Darrow walked slowly round the baking court. "Today it is the teachers, "he continued, "and tomorrow the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until we are marching backwards to the glorious age of the sixteenth century when bigots lighted faggots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and Culture to the human mind. "15、"That damned infidel," a woman whispered loudly as he finished his address.16、The following day the prosecution began calling witnesses against me. Two of my pupils testified, grinning shyly at me, that I had taught them evolution, but added that they had not been contaminated by theexperience. Howard Morgan, a bright lad of 14, testified that I had taught that man was a mammal like cows, horses, dogs and cats.17、"He didn't say a cat was the same as a man?" Darrow asked.18、"No, sir," the youngster said. "He said man had reasoning power."19、"There is some doubt about that," Darrow snorted.20、After the evidence was completed, Bryan rose to address the jury. The issue was simple, he declared "The Christian believes that man came from above. The evolutionist believes that he must have come from below." The spectators chuckled and Bryan warmed to his work. In one hand he brandished a biology text as he denounced the scientists who had come to Dayton to testify for the defence.21、"The Bible," he thundered in his sonorous organ tones, " is not going to be driven out of this court by experts who come hundreds of miles to testify that they can reconcile evolution, with its ancestors in the jungle, with man made by God in His image and put here for His purpose as par t of a divine plan."22、As he finished, jaw out-thrust, eyes flashing, the audience burst into applauseand shouts of "Amen". Yet something was lacking. Gone was the fierce fervor of the days when Bryan had swept the political arena like a prairie fire. The crowd seemed to feel that their champion had not scorched the infidels with the hot breath of his oratory as he should have.23、Dudley Field Malone popped up to reply. "Mr. Bryan is not the only one who has the right to speak for the Bible,”he observed. "There are other people in this country who have given up their whole lives to God and religion. Mr. Bryan, with passionate spirit and enthusiasm, has given most of his life to politics." Bryan sipped from a jug of water as Malone's voice grew in volume. He appealed for intellectual freedom, and accused Bryan of calling for a duel to the death between science and religion. 24、"There is never a duel with the truth," he roared. "The truth always wins -- and we are not afraid of it. The truth does not need Mr. Bryan. The truth is eternal, immortal and needs no human agency to support it! "25、When Malone finished there was a momentary hush. Then the court broke into a storm of applause that surpassed that for Bryan. But although Malone had won the oratorical duel with Bryan, the judge ruled against permitting the scientists to testify for the defence.26、When the court adjourned, we found Dayton's streets swarming with strangers. Hawkerscried their wares on every corner. One shop announced: DARWIN IS RIGHT –INSIDE. (This was J. R. Darwin's Everything to Wear Store.) One entrepreneur rented a shop window to display an ape. Spectators paid to gaze at it and ponderwhether they might be related.27、"The poor brute cowered in a corner with his hands over his eyes, ”a reporter noted, "afraid it might be true. "28、H. L. Mencken wrote sulphurous dispatches sitting in his pants with a fan blowing on him, and there was talk of running him out of town for referring to the local citizenry as yokels . Twenty-two telegraphists were sending out 165,000 words a day on the trial.29、Because of the heat and a fear that the old court's floor might collapse, under the weight of the throng, the trial was resumed outside under the maples. More than 2,000 spectators sat on wooden benches or squattedon the grass, perched on the tops of parked cars or gawked from windows.30、Then came the climax of the trial. Because of the wording of the anti-evolution law, the prosecution was forced to take the position that the Bible must be interpreted literally. Now Darrow sprang his trump card by calling Bryan as a witness for the defence. The judge looked startled. "We are calling him as an expert on the Bible," Darrow said. "His reputation as an authority on Scripture is recognized throughout the world."31、Bryan was suspicious of the wily Darrow, yet he could not refuse the challenge. For years he had lectured and written on the Bible. He had campaigned against Darwinism in Tennessee even before passage of theanti-evolution law. Resolutely he strode to the stand, carrying a palm fan like a sword to repel his enemies.32、Under Darrow's quiet questioning he acknowledged believing the Bible literally, and the crowd punctuated his defiant replies with fervent "Amens".33、Darrow read from Genesis: "And the evening and the morning were the first day." Then he asked Bryan if he believed that the sun was created on the fourth day. Bryan said that he did.34、"How could there have been a morning and evening without any sun?" Darrow enquired.35、Bryan mopped his bald dome in silence. There were sniggers from the crowd, even among the faithful. Darrow twirled his spectacles as he pursued the questioning. He asked if Bryan believed literally in the story of Eve. Bryan answered in the affirmative.36、"And you believe that God punished the serpent by condemning snakes for ever after to crawl upon their bellies?"37、"I believe that."38、"Well, have you any idea how the snake went before that time?"39、The crowd laughed, and Bryan turned livid. His voice rose and the fan in his hand shook in anger.40、"Your honor," he said. "I will answer all Mr. Darrow's questions at once. I want the world to know that this man who does not believe in God is using a Tennessee court to cast slurs on Him..."41、"I object to that statement,”Darrow shouted. “I am examining you on your fool ideas that no intelligent Christian on earth believes."42、The judge used his gavel to quell the hubbuband adjourned court until next day.43、Bryan stood forlornly alone. My heart went out to the old warrior as spectators pushed by him to shake Darrow's hand.44、The jury were asked to consider their verdict at noon the following day. The jurymen retired to a corner of the lawn and whispered for just nine minutes. The verdict was guilty. I was fined 100 dollars and costs.45、Dudley Field Malone called my conviction a "victorious defeat." A few southern papers, loyal to their faded champion, hailed it as a victory for Bryan. But Bryan, sad and exhausted, died in Dayton two days after the trial.46、I was offered my teaching job back but I declined. Some of the professors who had come to testify on my behalf arranged a scholarship for me at the University of Chicago so that I could pursue the study of science. Later I became a geologist for an oil company.47、Not long ago I went back to Dayton for the first time since my trial 37 years ago. The little town looked much the same to me.

外事笔译
• 外事翻译的定义 外事翻译就是外事话语(discourse of foreign affairs)的翻译。具体而言,就是把一种语言在 某一外事话语中表达的意义用另一种语言中符 合外事活动话语规范的语言表达出来,使译文 能够在听者或读者中产生与源语外事话语在源 语听者或读者中产生的相同效果。
• 外事翻译的特点 外事翻译的内容主要是在各种外交、外事场合上口头和书 面的讲话和文件。在外事场合,口、笔译往往同时使用。 比如建交谈判、关于国际公约的谈判,都要求译员既能 口译,又能将所谈的内容和结果落实到文字上,成为公 报、公约、条约、备录、协议等。有时是先口译,然后 产生文件。有时则在讲话、演讲前将稿件译好,再到现 场作口译。
• 联合公报:是政党之间、国家之间或政府之间就某些重 大事项或问题经过会谈、协商取得一致意见或达成谅解 后,双方联合签署发布的文件。 • 新闻公报:是以新闻的形式将重大事件向国内外公布的 文件。与新闻相似,新闻公报在语义组织上遵循新闻写 作中的“首重原则”,即将最主要的信息在文本的开头 就呈现出来,然后按信息的重要程度依次组织文本。 • 联合新闻公报:既具有联合公报的正式性和信息性,也 具有新闻公报的时效性和新闻性。
• 第三,就翻译处理方式而言,外事翻译可分为全译、节 译、摘译、编译和译述等类别。
•
本课程以外事笔译为主体教学内容,主要包括各类外事文书。外事文书分类如下:
外交文书:国家间、政府间、外交部和驻外外交代表机关在外交活动 中形成的书面文件。(公报、声明、宣言、白皮书等)
对外文书:国家机关、地方政府、军队、人民团体及其领导人和官员 在外事活动中形成的书面文件。(外事活动中的领导人发言稿、涉 外合同等) 对外交往文书:对外交往中为处理一系列事务性和日常性工作而制作 和使用的文书。(照会、备忘录、邀请信和请柬、对外函件外事访 问日程表、涉外名片等) 涉外礼仪文书:以信函和电子邮件方式传递信息、互通情况及交流感 情的涉外文书。(祝贺函电、感谢函电、慰问函电、吊唁函电等) 涉外旅行文书:涉外旅行管理机构和出国人员在办理出入世界各国过 境手续过程中制作和使用的一系列专用文书。(护照、签证与签证 申请表、黄皮书、入境表与出境表、海关申报表等)

points)Section A Multiple Choice(10 points)Directions:There is one reading passage in this part.The passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer,18,a star salesman at a B&Q hardware store in the UK,was called up for promotion within one week of starting work.But,instead of being made supervisor,he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test.You might think that anyone who answers that he“strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking fortrouble,but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable.This year,nearly half of UK firms—46 percent—will use psychometric tests to select trainees,compared with just 17 percent in 2000,according to a report for GTI,a publisher of graduate career guides.These tests,which rate candidates' ability and gauge their personality,have been used in the UK since the 1980s.But assorted studies have shown most people—graduates in particular—are wholly cynical about the ideaof their personality being“measured.“People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever, says Clive Fletcher,professor of occupational psychology at University of London.“But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value.The first personality test as we know it,was developed by the American army in 1917 to filter out weak recruits.But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain.With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs,organizations began to see psychometric testing as a cheap,reliable alternative to the expensive,time-consuming interview.But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the“dark side:pathology and personality disorders.Increasingly,tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may,later in life,fly off the rails(go crazy);or to stop psychopaths(having mental disorder)getting recruited.In the future,interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality.“We are heading for the era of genetic screening,”warns Carolyn Jones,of the Institute forEmployment Rights.“I think these tests are very flawed.And there are other problems with the tests.For starters,it is possible to fake it—even the test producers agree on this.But they have made it as hard as possible.For example,look at whether you agree or disagree with thefollowing two statements:“New ideas come easily to me and“I find generating new concepts difficult.How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing?The main argument,however,is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify(put a numerical value on)something as changeable as personality.The golden rule is then,that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection,but should always be followed by interviews.71.Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is ______.A.contemptuous B.favorable C.tolerant D.confounded72.Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews?A.It doesn't cost any money.B.It requires no equipment.C.It is time-saving.D.It can be done within seconds.73.Which of the following statements is the author's idea?A.Psychometric tests are defective.B.Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates.C.Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality.D.Psychometric tests are golden rules.74.The test producers make the tests very complicated to ______.A.avoid cheating B.improve genetic screeningC.find out the best ideas D.generate new concepts75.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A.The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits.B.In the future,interviewers could give a mouth swab to reveal interviewees' symptoms.C.There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests.D.Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees.Section B Short Answer Questions(30 points)Directions:In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passages carefully.Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words).Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:The 8 Steps of Social Invention1.Get ready to play.Like other types of creativity,social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries.Charlie Girsch,a St.Paul,Minnesota-based creativity consultant,suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events.“If traffic is slow,you'll be tem pted to say,‘Hmm.Must be an accident up ahead.’Instead,try saying,‘Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway’or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on.’You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways.”Girsch's book,Fanning the Creative Spirit(Creativity Central,1999)has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of your brain.2.Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas.Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood?Imagine a Homeless Parliament,a Homeless Circus,homeless families forming an orchestra,a homeless museum ...and on and on.Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order,as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises,to“overcom e worthy-but-dull ideas.”Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out.3.Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth.How about that Homeless Circus?Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents?A performance series about homelessness?A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor?Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive,and thus more feasible(and fundable),than its worthy-but-dull cousins.4.Look for in ventions that solve more than one problem.The Slow Food Movement,born in Italy,boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it“feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes,healthy eating,and a more leisurely,saner style of life.5.Accen tuate the positive.“A very common question that I get when I work with people in communities is‘Why doesn't anybody care about our problems?’”notes M chael Patterson,a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts.“What a worthless question.‘Why’?questions are for philosophers.Ask‘How’?and‘What’?questions—they are a lot more practical.”For instance,Patterson asks,“What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?”6.Give it a rest.Walk away from your favorite idea for a while,forget about it,let it sleep.With your conscious mind out of the way,your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while,and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough.7.Practice“yes and”in stead of“yes but”.No matter how tempted you are to say“Yes,but this will be hard because,”or“Yes,but a million other people are doing this,”shift the conjunction to“and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges.“Yes,and we could concentrate on immigrants.”“Yes,and we can make it open to all ages.”8.Get your idea into the world.This is the tough part.You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas.Or become an organizer yourself.Paul Glove,a New York social inventor,coun-sels:“If you have an idea you believe in,write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it in laundromats and bookstores.If three people call you,have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization.If five people call,meet with them and issue a press release.”Presto,you're launched.76.To generate far-fetched ideas helps to ______.77.Michael Patterson wants us to come up with“How”?and“What”?instead of“Why”?questions because he considers they are more practical than ______.78.The purpose to practice“yes and”instead of“yes but”is to make yourself more ______.79.According to the article,when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea,he should ______.80.One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ______ because the latter step is the nearest to reality.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes,which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come.But,analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era.Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin,flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco,a wholesale buying club in the US,best known for offering members bulk items and big discounts.The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US $3,000or more ,yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production.That increase,combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology,could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year,according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group,a US research firm.But manufacturers are not just competing with each other;they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies,such as liquid crystal displays(LCD).The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts,which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colours than conventional analog TV signals.To see the difference,consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can.This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger.At that size,however,traditionaldirect view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home.Hence the interest in thin screens—models slender and light enough to hang on a wall.The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan,South Korea and,increasingly,China.About 800,000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world,analysts say.That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs,which was about 140 million sets lastyear.But,industry experts said 2003would be a“breakout year for plasma because shipments should double.Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities.For example,Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory—reaching 300,000to 400,000 plasma panels.And it plans to double it again in 2003,officials said.As competition has heated up during the last four years,prices have fallen more than 50 percent.According to “NPD Techworld”,the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US $12,700in January 1999 to US $6,100in October 2002.The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia,and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes.LCD TVs carry a premium price—they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television—that knocks them out of most buyers' budgets.But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computer monitors,and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs,analysts predicted.Sharp Electronics,for one,is betting heavily on LCDs.Its chairman,Toshiaki Urushisako,has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by 2005.Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin(3 inches or less)TVs,whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets(CRTs)whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for 50 years.Be aware of two things:One,flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV;for eventual HDTV reception,some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner.Two,some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner.Price range:US $700-2,000LCD vs plasmaIn general,LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the gaslike liquid crystals into colour images.The larger the display,the more transistors,the more chance of failed connections.A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than 20 inches.Colour is comparable to an LCD's.LCDs do not deteriorate over time,while a plasma display averages 30,000 hours(a traditional TV screen can go for 20,000),after which it fades over a period of years.Earlier problems with the quality of plasma's contrast have been addressed,and current screens are cleaner and better defined.Price range:US $600-2,800HDTVSimply put,high-definition TV is 10 times as sharp as traditional TV,and the sound is digital,like CD sound,not FM ,which is what traditional TV provides.HD technology achieves its visual clarity with more immage lines on the screen.Where analog TVs have 480 horizontal lines,HDTV has 720 or 1,080lines.Be aware :m any HDTV sets being sold now are in fact only HDTV monitors ,offering a crisp picture .To receive genuine high-definition television signals,owners must buy a separate HDTV receiver.Price range:US $1,000-6,000LOS ANGELEST IMES81.According to the article,TV sets with _____will still be the most popular in the coming years.。

Our Greedy Colleges 1) Many of our colleges are at it again. As they have done annually for the past six years, they have begun to unveil tuition increases that far outstrip the inflation rate. Next year, tuition is expectedto rise 6 percent to 8 percent – even though inflation during 1986 was about 1.8 percent. Yale’s president, Benno C. Schmidt Jr., attributes his university’stuition hike in part to “continuing cutbacks of governmental support for studentaid. ” This assertion flie s in the face of the facts. Since 1982, moneyavailable through Federal student aid programs has increased every single year. Overall, Federal outlays for student aid are up 57 percent since 1980. Since 1980, inflation has been just 26 percent. That is why the former chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, Pete V. Domenici, Republican of New Mexico, recently dismissed the claim of huge cuts in student aid programs as a “myth.”2) If anything, increases in financial aid in recent years have enabled collegesand universities blithely to raise their tuitions, confident that Federal loan subsidies would help cushion the increase. In 1978, subsidies became availableto a greatly expanded number of students. In 1980, college tuitions began rising year after year at a rate that exceeded inflation. Federal student aid policiesdo not cause college price inflation, but there is little doubt that they helpmake it possible.3) At the same time that higher education has been cutting a bigger piece of the Federal pie, it has also received huge infusions of cash from state governments, from corporations, from foundations and from loyal alumni. The total increase in higher education spending from all these non-Federal sources is staggering. Spending for higher education now consumes about 40 percent of all money spent in America for education.4) It is by no means clear that the performance of many of our colleges and universities justifies this level of expenditure. As I said on the occasion of Harvard’s 350th anniversary, too many students fail to receive the educationthey deserve at our nation’s universities. The real problem is not lack of money but failure of vision.5) Unfortunately, when it comes to higher education, this distinction isfrequentl y lost Stanford University’s vague justification for increased charges–“new knowledge is inherently more expensive” – only underscores the lack of focus and purpose at some of our nation’s most prestigious universities.6) Higher education is not underfunded. It is under-accountable and underproductive. Our students deserve better than this. They deserve an education commensurate with the large sums paid by parents and taxpayers and donors.7) That our universities are places where students can receive a good education,or at least learn a lot, I have no doubt. But too often our universities leave education to chance – a good professor here and a great course there. There istoo little real and sustained attention to education in the broader sense, tomaking sure that when our students leave after four years they leave as educated men and women.8) It is also false to assert, as some have, that the Reagan Administration’s student aid policies deprive disadvantaged students of the opportunity to attend college. In fact, the Administration has consistently sought to redirect aid tothe neediest students.9) Under the Administration’s fiscal 1988 budget proposal, all students presently receiving aid would continue to be eligible for the same dollar amountof aid. One in six of all college students would still be eligible to receiveFederal grants. Those less needy would still have access to aid in the form of loans.10) One particular Administration proposal, Income Contingent Loans, represents the most serious attempt to improve student aid in 15 years. The loans would permit repayment schedules to be tailored to a student’s income. A graduate’s payments would never have to exceed 15 percent of his adjusted gross income, and he could have as long as necessary to repay.11) An advantage of the Administration’s proposals is that they would help make colleges and universities accountable to the prime beneficiaries of theirservices – the students.12) Because students would pay a market-based interest rate, they would bear the true cost of borrowing the additional capital needed to finance tuition increases. Instead of insulating colleges and universities form such market forces, the Administration’s policies would make colleges and universi ties more readily accountable to them.13) Higher education clearly provides benefits to society in general. Recognizing this, the American people have generously provided the tax dollars, grants and highly subsidized loans necessary to support higher education. Butthe chief beneficiaries of a college education are the students. On average, college graduates earn $640,000 more over their lifetimes than nongraduates do.It is simply not fair to ask taxpayers, many of whom do not go to college, topay more than their fair share of the tuition burden.Ⅳ.

外交学 (潘基文人物介绍)
UN chief promises to support China's quake relief efforts
Ban Ki-moon benefits from Chinese wisdom
Controversy
• During the ROKS(韩国) Cheonan (天安号) sinking( saga, he took the unusual step of demanding action against North Korea for the alleged (可疑的)sinking of a vessel from his country. This move was perceived as unusual because it was rare for any Secretary-General— and particularly Ban Ki-moon—to comment on the Security Council taking action on a particular issue as his office had, in the past, tended to be extremely deferential(恭敬的) to the Security Council.
• Mr. Ban also met with Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), he discussed issues of interest to the Caribbean region, such as climate change, as well as cooperation between the CARICOM Secretariat and the UN system.

2003年考研英语作文题目及范文主题
2003年考研英语作文题目及范文主题The 2003 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination (NPCEE) English Essay Topic and Sample。
Every year, thousands of aspiring candidates sit for the National Postgraduate Entrance Examination (NPCEE), aiming to secure a spot in their desired postgraduate programs. Among the various sections of the NPCEE, the English essay holds significant weightage, challenging candidates to exhibit their language proficiency, critical thinking, and analytical skills. In 2003, the essay topic focused on the theme of "The Impact of the Internet on People's Life." Let's delve into this subject and explore how the internet has profoundly influenced our lives.The advent of the internet has revolutionized the way we live, work, and interactwith one another. In recent years, its impact has been particularly notable, permeating every aspect of human existence. One of the most evident areas where the internet has exerted its influence is communication. Gone are the days of relying solely on traditional means of communication such as letters or landline telephones. With the click of a button, individuals can now connect with anyone, anywhere in the world, through emails, instant messaging, or social media platforms. This unprecedented connectivity has not only facilitated the exchange of information but has also fostered global collaboration and cultural exchange.Furthermore, the internet has reshaped the landscape of education and learning. Access to a vast repository of knowledge and resources is now just a Google search away. Students can leverage online platforms to access lectures, research papers, and educational videos, transcending the limitations of physical classrooms. Additionally, the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has democratized education, offering individuals from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to pursue learning at their own pace and convenience.In addition to communication and education, the internet has profoundly impacted various facets of daily life, including commerce, entertainment, and healthcare. E-commerce platforms have transformed the way we shop, enabling consumers to browse and purchase goods and services from the comfort of their homes. The entertainment industry has undergone a digital revolution, with streaming services providing on-demand access to a plethora of movies, music, and television shows. Moreover, telemedicine has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional healthcare delivery, allowing patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely and access medical information online.However, amidst the myriad benefits of the internet, there are also concerns regarding its negative impact on society. The proliferation of fake news and misinformation has fueled skepticism and distrust, undermining the credibility of information disseminated online. Furthermore, the omnipresence of social media has given rise to issues such as cyberbullying, online harassment, and addiction, raising questions about the psychological toll of excessive internet usage.In conclusion, the internet has become an indispensable part of modern life, shaping the way we communicate, learn, work, and entertain ourselves. Its transformative impact is evident across various domains, heralding both unprecedented opportunities and challenges for individuals and society at large. As we navigate the digital age, it is imperative to harness the potential of the internet while remaining vigilant against its pitfalls, ensuring that it continues to serve as a force for positive change and progress.。
你只活一次英语作文80词左右
你只活一次英语作文1You Only Live Once. This simple yet profound statement holds a great deal of truth and significance. Life is a precious gift, and it is a journey that we get to experience only once. It is of utmost importance that we cherish every moment of it and make the most of it.The brevity of life is a fact that we cannot overlook. Time is constantly slipping away, and once it's gone, we can never get it back. Consider the case of Steve Jobs. He was fully aware that his time on this earth was limited. However, instead of wasting it, he seized every opportunity. With his unwavering determination and innovative spirit, he created the Apple empire. His products revolutionized the way we communicate, work, and live. He didn't let the shortness of life hold him back; instead, he made every second count. His story is a powerful reminder that we should not take our time for granted.Athletes also exemplify this principle. They train rigorously day in and day out. They understand that their athletic careers are relatively short - they only live once as an athlete. So they push themselves to the limit. They don't waste a single training session. Whether it's a sprinter aiming for that extra fraction of a second in their race time or a gymnast perfecting their routine, they are all in pursuit of their dreams within the limited time they have. They know that this is their one chance to leave a mark in the world of sports, to achieve greatness and prove their worth.For us ordinary people, we may not be creating world - changing products like Steve Jobs or winning Olympic gold medals like athletes. But we all have our own dreams. Maybe it's to become an artist, a writer, or a teacher. We should not be deterred by the shortness of life. Instead, we should be motivated by it. Every day is a new opportunity to move closer to our dreams. We should wake up each morningwith a sense of purpose, ready to take on the challenges and make the most of the day.We often get caught up in the daily grind, in the trivial matters that seem so important at the moment but in the grand scheme of things are insignificant. We worry about small setbacks, about what others think of us, and we forget the big picture - that we only live once. If we keep this in mind, we will be more likely to take risks, to step out of our comfort zones, and to pursue what truly makes us happy.In conclusion, since we only live once, we must value our lives and the time we have. We should actively pursue our dreams, no matter how big or small they may be. We should not let fear or laziness prevent us from making the most of this one - time opportunity. Life is short, but if we use it wisely, it can be filled with meaning, purpose, and joy.2You only live once. This simple yet profound statement should be a guiding principle in our lives. It is a reminder that our time on this earth is limited and precious, and we should make the most of it.In life, there are so many opportunities waiting for us to seize. However, fear often holds us back. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of stepping out of our comfort zones. But when we consider that we only have one life to live, these fears seem less significant. Take the adventurers, for example. They are the ones who are willing to explore the uncharted territories. The poles, the deep jungles, and the vast deserts are all places full of mystery and danger. But these adventurers, with their unwavering determination, set out on their journeys. They know that there may be countless difficulties along the way. They may face extreme weather, shortages of supplies, and even life - threatening situations. But they still choose to move forward bravely. Because they understand that this is their one and only life, and they don't want to waste it sitting at home in safety, always wondering what could have been.The same goes for entrepreneurs. In the business world, starting a new venture is like stepping into a vast ocean full of uncertainties. There are so many risks involved. The market may not be receptive to their new products or services. There may be financial difficulties, and competition can be fierce. But these entrepreneurs, with a glint of adventure in their eyes, dare to enter new fields. They are not afraid to take risks because they are aware that they have only one chance at life. They would rather try and potentially fail than never try at all. If they succeed, they can change their own lives and even make a positive impact on the world. If they fail, they can learn from their experiences and grow as individuals.We should all learn from these adventurers and entrepreneurs. We should not let fear paralyze us. Instead, we should embrace the opportunities that come our way. We should be brave enough to try new things, whether it is learning a new skill, traveling to a new place, or starting a new hobby. Every new experience is a chance for us to expand our horizons and enrich our lives.In conclusion, since we only live once, we should live without regrets. We should face challenges head - on, not be afraid of failure, and make every moment count. Because at the end of the day, this one life is all we have, and it is up to us to make it a remarkable journey.3You Only Live OnceLife is a precious and unique journey. Each of us is granted only one shot at it. This singularity of life is not just a biological fact but a profound philosophical concept that has far - reaching implications for how we perceive the meaning of our existence.The fact that we only live once compels us to seek a higher - level meaning in life. Consider the great philosophers throughout history. They dedicated their entirelives to pondering the meaning of life. For example, Socrates, who walked the streets of Athens, engaging in deep conversations with his fellow citizens, constantly questioning the nature of virtue, knowledge, and the good life. He knew that his time on this earth was limited, and this awareness drove him to dig deeper into the fundamental questions of human existence. His life was a testament to the idea that because we have only one life, we must strive to understand its significance.Scientists, too, are driven by the recognition of the one -time nature of life. Think of Marie Curie, who spent countless hours in her laboratory, exposed to dangerous radiation, in her pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of humanity. She was fully aware that her life was finite, yet she chose to invest her time and energy into research that would ultimately lead to groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity. Her selfless dedication was not in vain. It was a response to the call of making the most of her one and only life by contributing something of great value to the world.In a more general sense, for ordinary individuals, the knowledge that we only live once should also inspire us to look beyond the mundane and the immediate. We often get caught up in the daily grind, chasing after material possessions or short -term pleasures. However, when we truly internalize the fact that our time is limited, we start to question whether these are the things that will give our lives true meaning.Rather than simply going through the motions, we should be motivated to pursue activities that are more in line with our values and that contribute to the greater good. This could be as simple as volunteering in our local community, pursuing a passion that enriches our souls, or building meaningful relationships with others.The uniqueness of life also means that there is no second chance to rewrite our story. Every decision we make, every action we take, is etched into the fabric of our one - time existence. This should instill in us a sense of responsibility and purpose.We cannot afford to waste our lives on frivolous pursuits or negative emotions such as envy or hatred.In conclusion, the fact that we only live once is not a cause for despair but rather a powerful motivation. It is a call to arms, urging us to rise above the ordinary and strive for a life filled with purpose, significance, and meaning. It is a reminder that our time on this earth is precious and that we have the power, and indeed the obligation, to make the most of it.4You Only Live OnceLife is a precious and unique journey. Each of us has only one chance to experience it. Therefore, it is crucial that we adopt an optimistic and positive attitude towards life.Think about those who are seriously ill. For example, there are cancer patients who, in the face of their life - threatening diseases, still choose to be positive. They wake up every morning with a smile on their face, looking forward to a new day. They cherish every moment they have left, whether it is spending time with their families, enjoying a beautiful sunset, or simply taking a walk in the park. Their attitude shows that they understand the value of this one - time life. They don't waste their time complaining about their misfortune but instead focus on making the most of the time they have.Ordinary people also can be an inspiration. In times of great difficulty, such as during an economic recession when many people lose their jobs, some individuals don't let despair overtake them. They see this as an opportunity to explore new interests or to strengthen relationships with family and friends. They might start a new hobby like painting or gardening, which not only enriches their lives but also gives them a new perspective. They look for the beauty in the simplest things, likethe first flower blooming in spring in their small garden or the sound of children laughing on the street.We should realize that every day is a gift. If we are always gloomy and negative, we are wasting this precious gift of life. Happiness is not always about achieving great things. It can be as simple as having a cup of hot coffee on a cold morning, sharing a joke with a friend, or reading a good book. When we have an optimistic attitude, we are more likely to notice these small pleasures and be content with what we have.In conclusion, since we only live once, we should strive to be happy. Let's face life's challenges with a smile, look for the good in every situation, and make our one -time journey on this earth a memorable and fulfilling one. There is no point in dwelling on the negative aspects of life. Instead, we should focus on creating positive memories and experiences that will make our one - time life truly worth living.5You Only Live Once. This simple yet profound statement has been echoing in the minds of many. In the grand scheme of things, our life is but a brief moment, a fleeting instant in the vast expanse of time. And within this one - and - only life, one of the most crucial aspects to consider is how to balance work and life.Work is an essential part of our existence. It gives us a sense of purpose, a means to earn a living, and a way to contribute to society. However, when work takes over our entire lives, we risk losing sight of the other important elements that make life worth living. On the other hand, if we focus solely on enjoying life and neglect our work responsibilities, we may find ourselves in financial difficulties or without a sense of accomplishment.Take, for example, some successful entrepreneurs. They are often at the top of their game in the business world, achieving remarkable feats and making significantcontributions to their respective industries. But at the same time, they are also great family people. They understand that they only live once, and this one life should be fully experienced. They make sure to set aside time for their families, for vacations, for hobbies, and for self - improvement. They know that success in business is not the only measure of a fulfilling life.Another case in point is some well - known artists. They pour their hearts and souls into their creative works, which often require long hours of dedication and hard work. But they also understand the importance of taking breaks, of spending time with friends and loved ones, of exploring the world around them. They know that their creativity is not only fed by their work but also by their life experiences.So how can we, ordinary people, achieve this balance? First of all, we need to set clear priorities. We should define what is truly important to us in life. Is it our career advancement? Is it our family's happiness? Is it our own personal growth? Once we have a clear understanding of our priorities, we can then allocate our time accordingly.Secondly, we need to learn to say no. In today's fast - paced world, there are always countless opportunities and temptations. But not all of them are worth our time and energy. We should be brave enough to turn down those things that do not align with our priorities.Finally, we should always keep in mind that life is short. Every day is a precious gift, and we should make the most of it. We should strive to find joy in both our work and our life outside of work. Because we only live once, and this one life should be filled with a variety of experiences, from the satisfaction of a job well - done to the warmth of a family gathering, from the excitement of achieving a personal goal to the tranquility of a solitary moment in nature.。
