Read the following passages carefully and complete the tasks. Write your answers an the Answer Sheet (50分)TEXT ASOMETHING ABOUT NAPLES just seems made for comedy. The name alone conjures up pizza, and lovable, incorrigible innocents warbling “O Sole Mio”; a nutty little corner of the world where the id runs wild and the only answer to the question “Why?” appears to be “Why not?”Naples: the butter-side-down of Italian cities, where even the truth has a strangely fictitious tinge. One day a car rear-ended one of the city’s minibuses. The bus driver got out to investigate.While he stood there talking, his only passenger took the wheel and drove off Neither passenger nor bus was ever seen again.Then there was that busy lunch hour in the central post office when a crack in the ceiling opened and postal workers were overwhelmed by an avalanche of stale croissants. As the cleaners hauled away garbage bags of moldy breakfast, the questions remained: Who? Why? And what else could still be up there?But Naples actually isn’t so funny. Italy’s third largest city, with 1.1 million people has a much darker side. where chaos reigns: bag snatching and mugging clogged streets of stupefying confusion, where traffic moves to mysterious laws of its own through multiple intersections whose traffic lights haven’t functioned for months, maybe years-if they have lights at all. Packs of wild dogs roam the city’s main park. Nineteen policemen on the anti-narcotics squad are arrested for accepting payoffs from the Camorra, the local Mafia.To many Italians, particularly those in the wealthy, industrialized north, none of this is surprising. To them Naples means political corruption, wasted federal subsidies, rampant organized crime, appallingly large families, and cunning, lazy people who prefer to do something shady rather than honest work.Nepolitans know their reputation, “People think nothing ever gets done here,” said a young professional woman “Sometimes they say, “Surely you come from Milan. You come from Naples? Naples?”Giovanni del Form, an insurance executive, told me about his flight home from a northern. Italian city, the plane waited on the began to bear the comments around me: ‘Well here we are in Naples,’” he said with a wince. “These comments make me suffer”.Neapolitans may complain, but most can’t conceive of living anywhere else. The city has the intimacy, tension, and craziness of a large but intensely devoted family. The people have the same perverse pride as New Yorkers. They love even the things that don’t work, and they love being Neapolitans. They know outsiders don’t get it. and they don’t care. “Even if you go away” one woman said, “you remain a prisoner of this city. My city has many problems, but away from it I feel bad.”This is a city in which living on the brink of collapse is normal. Naples has survived wars revolutions, floods, earthquakes, and eruptions of nearby Vesuvius. First a wealthy, colony founded by the Greeks (who called it Neapolis, or “new city”), then a flourishing Roman resort, it lived through various incarnations under dynasties of Normans, Swabians, Austrians, Spanish, and French, not to mention a glorious period as the resplendent capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.It was a brilliant, cultivated city that once ranked with London and Paris. The Nenziatella, the oldest military school in Italy, still basks in its two centuries of historic glory, the Teatro San Carlo remains one of the greatest opera houses in the world. The treasures of Pompeii grace the National Museum. Stretched Iuxuriantly between mountains and sea along the curving coast of the Bay of Naples, full of ornate palaces, gardens, churches, and works of art, with its mild climate and rich folklore, Naples in the last century was beloved by artists and writers. The most famous response to this magnificence was the comment by an unknown admirer, “See Naples and die.”Today that remark carries less poetic connotations. The bombardments of World War II were followed by the depredations of profiteers and politicians-for-rent who reduced the city to a demoralized shadow of itself, surviving on government handouts, Until five years ago citygovernments were cobbled together by warring political factions; some mayors lasted only a few months. A cholera outbreak in 1973 was followed in 1980 by a major earthquake. Its famous port has Withered (though the U.S. Sixth Fleet command is still based just up the coast), industries have failed, tourists have fled, natives have moved out-it seems that only drug trafficking is booming “Unlivable,” the Neapolitans say.1. The two examples in the second and third paragraphs intend to show that(A) Naples has a high incidence of traffic accidents.(C) people there love to store food for years.(D) everything appears to be on the wrong side.2. The fallowing words are appropriate to describe traffic conditions in Naples EXCEPT(A) disorder.(B) overcrowding.(C) insecurity.(D) inefficiency.3. It can be concluded from the passage that the Northerners(A) are critical of what Naples represents.(B) sympathize with Neopolitans.(C) share many thins with Neopolitans.(D) make every effort to shun Neopolitans.4. The author implies that Neopolitans’ affection for the city(A) was unrealistic.(B) went a bit too far.(C) was extraordinary.(D) gave rise to concern.5. When the author says “Today that remark carries less poetic connotations.” he actually means that(A) the city can now boast very few poets.(B) artists and writers have left for London and Paris.(C) the city underwent heavy bombing during the War.(D) The city’s present problems obscured its glorious past.TEXT BOnce found almost entirely in the western United States and in Asia, dinosaur fossils are now being discovered on all seven continents. A host of new revelations emerged in 1998 that promise to reshape scientists views of dinosaurs, including what they looked like and when and where they lived.It is doubtful that Tyrannosaurus Rex had lips or that Triceratops had cheeks, says Lawrence Wittrier, an assistant professor of anatomy at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Witmer was a leading researcher for a study on dinosaur anatomy that was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology, which concluded on October 3 in Snowbird, Utah.Witmer’s study reached its conclusions by using high-tech computerized axial tomography (CT or CA T) seans along with comparative anatomy studies. For example, the theory that Triceratops and similar dinosaur species had cheeks was based on past comparisons with mammals such as sheep. But Witmer’s careful analysis found the structure of the triceratops jaw and skull made it more likely that Triceratops had a beak like that of an eagle. Witmer said thatscientists should use birds and crocodiles as models when researching the appearance of dinosaurs.In early October scientists announced that they had confirmed the discovery of a new type of ceratopsian dinosaur. The dinosaur’s bones, found in New Mexico in 1996, are fencing paleontologists to rethink their, theories about when ceratopsians migrated to what is now North America.Scientists previously thought that ceratopsians, the group that included the well-known Triceratops, arrived in North America from Asia between 70 million and 80 million years ago. During this time, the late Cretaceous Period, the earth’s two supercontinents-Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south-were in the process of pulling apart, cutting dinosaur populations off from each other and interrupting migratory patterns.The fossilized bones, found by eight-year-old Christopher Wolfe and his father, paleontologist Doug Wolfe of the Mesa Southwest Museum in Arizona, date to about 90 million years ago. This could mean that ceratopstans originated in North America and migrated to Asia rather than the reverse, paleontologists Said. Doug Wolfe named the important new species of dinosaur Zuniceratops christopheri after his son.An expedition from the Universities of Alaska in Anchorage and Fairbanks has discovered a region in remote northern Alaska so rich in fossilized dinosaur tracks that team members dubbed it the “dino expressway”. The trampled area was found during the summer of 1998 on Alaska’s Norah Slope near the Brooks Range.The team found 13 new track sites and made casts from the prints of five different types of dinosaurs. The rock in which the prints were found dates to more than 100 million years ago, or about 25 million years older than the previously discovered signs of dinosaurs in the Arctic region. Paleontologists said that the new findings provide important evidence that dinosaurs migrated between Asia and North America during the early and mid-Cretaceous Period, before Asia split off into its own continent.Two rich fossil sites in the hills of Bolivia have been recently discovered, exciting paleontologists and dinosaur buffs .This discovery includes one of the most spectacular dinosaur trackways ever found.The discovery of a large site in the mountain region of Kila, Kila in southern Bolivia was announced in early October. Here scientists found the tracks of at least two unknown species of dinosaur. These included a large quadruped (four-footed) dinosaur that was probably about 20 m (about 70 ft) long.The other site, located not far from the Bolivian city of Sucre, was uncovered in a cement quarry by workers several years ago but was not brought to paleontologists attention until the middle of 1998. The site features a vertical wall covered with thousands of dinosaur prints representing more than 100 different species. The tracks date back to between 65 million and 70 million years age. Since dinosaurs are believed to have died out around 65 million years ago, the prints were likely made by some of the last dinosaurs on earth.Scientists speculated that the tracks were made at the edge of a lake or swamp and were then hardened and preserved. The rock containing the tracks was then pushed into a vertical position over millions of years of geologic activity. Dinosaur eggs have also been found at the site, which paleontologists are working to preserve before it falls victim to erosion. Paleontologists hope to study the site and learn about the diet and physical characteristics of the dinosaurs that arerepresented there.6. Witmer’s research leads people to believe(A) Tyrannosaurus Rex had lips and Triceratops had cheeks.(B) dinosaurs might have looked like mammals such as sheep.(C) dinosaurs might not have looked like what we thought.(D) dinosaurs must have looked like birds or crocodiles.7. The discovery of a new type of ceratopsian dinosaur suggests ceratopsians(A) migrated to North America around 70-80 million years ago.(B) arrived in Asia from North America about 90 million years ago.(C) originated in Asia and later migrated to North America.(D) could have moved to Asia from North America long ago.8. Newly-found fossilized tracks in Alaska proved that dinosaurs’ migration between Asia and North America took place(A) much earlier than experts previously thought.(B) much later than experts previously thought.(C) after Asia became an independent continent.(D) sometime around 25 million years ago.9. The discovery of dinosaur fossil sites in Bolivia is exciting because of the following reasons EXCEPT that(A) they are found in a continent other than Asia and North Continent.(B) the largest dinosaurs in the world are found in this discovery.(C) there are some unknown species of dinosaurs found this time.(D) the dinosaurs were believed to be some of the last ones on earth10. The passage focuses on(A) dinosaur’s geographical location.(B) shifting views of dinosaurs.(C) migration patterns of dinosaurs.(D) geologic activity of Earth.TEXT CIn sixteenth-century Italy and eighteenth-century France, waning prosperity and increasing social unrest led the ruling families to try to preserve their superiority by withdrawing from the lower and middle class behind barriers of etiquette. In a prosperous community, on the other hand, polite society soon absorbs the newly rich, and in England there has never been any shortage of books on etiquette for teaching them the manners appropriate to their new way of life.Every code of enquette has contained three elements, basic moral duties practical rules which promote effidiency; and artificial, optional graces such as formal compliments to, say, women on their beauty or superiors on their generosity and importance.In the first category are considerations for the weak and respect for age. Among the ancient Egyptians the young always stood in the young men bow as they pass the huts of the elders. In England, until about a century ago, young children did not sit in their parents’ presence without asking permission.Practical rules are helpful in such ordinary occurrences of social life as making proper introductions at parties or other functions so that people can be brought to know each other. Before the invention of the fork, etiquette directed that the fingers should be kept as clean aspossible, before the handkerchief came into common use, etiquette suggested that after spitting a person should rub the spit inconspicuously underfoot.Extremely refined behaviour, however, cultivated as an art of gracious living, has been characteristic only of societies with wealth and leisure, winch admitted women as the social equals of men After the fall of Rome, the first European society to regulate behaviour in private life in accordance with a complicated code of etiquette was twelfth-century Provence, in France.Provence had become wealthy. The lords had retamed to their castle from the crusades, and there the ideals of chivalry grew up, which emphasized the virtue and gentleness of women and demanded that a knight should profess a pure and dedicated love to a lady who would be his inspiration, and to whom he would dedicate his valiant deeds, though he would never come physically close to her. This was the introduction of the concept of romantic love, which was to influence literature for many hundreds of years and which still lives on in a debased form in simple popular songs and cheap novels today.In Renaissance Italy too, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, a wealthy and leisured society developed an extremely complex code of manners, but the rules of behaviour of fashionable society had little influence on the daily life of the lower classes. Indeed many of the rules, such as how to enter a banquet room, or how to use a sword or handkerchief for ceremonial purposes, were inelevant to the way of life of the average working man, who spent most of his life outdoors or in his own poor hut and most probably did not have a handkerchief, certainly not a sword, to his name.Yet the essential basis of all good manners does not vary. Consideration for the old and weak and the avoidance of harming or giving unnecessary offence to others is a feature of all societies everywhere and at all levels from the highest to the lowest.Answer the following questions briefly. Please write your answers on the Answer sheet.11. One characteristic of the rich classes of a declining society is their tendency____________.12. Cite TWO elements of the code of etiquette.____________________________________________________.13. According to the writer, part of chivalry is that____________________.14. Etiquette as an art of gracious living is quoted as a feature of_______________________.15. What does the writer use “Yet” in the last paragraph? ___________________.TEXTDFred Cooke of Salford turned 90 two days ago and the world has been beating a path to his door. If you haven’t noticed, the backstreet boy educated at Blackpool grammar styles himself more grandly as Alastair Cooke, broadcaster extraordinaire. An honorable KBE, he would be Sir Alastair if he had not taken American citizenship more than half a century ago.If it sounds snobbish to draw attention to his humble origins, it should be reflected that the real snob is Cooke himself, who has spent a lifetime disguising them. But the fact that he opted to renounce his British passport in 1941-just when his country needed all the wartime help it could get-is hardly a matter for congratulation.Cooke has made a fortune out of his love affair with America. entrancing listeners with a weekly monologue that has won Radio 4 many devoted adherents. Part of the pull is the developed drawl. This is the man who gave the world “mid-Atlantic’, the language of the disc jockey and public relations man.He sounds American to us and English to them, while in reality he has for decades belongedto neither. Cooke’s world is an America that exists largely in the imagination. He took ages to acknowledge the disaster that was Vietnam and even longer to wake up to Watergate. His politics have drifted to the right with age, and most of his opinions have been acquired on the golf course with fellow celebrities.He chased after stars on arrival in America, fixing up an interview with Charlie Chaplin and briefly becoming his friend. He told Cooke he could turn him into a fine light comedian; instead he is an impressionist’s dream.Cooke liked the sound of his first wife’s name almost as much as he admired her good looks. But he found bringing up baby difficult and left her for the wife of his landlord.Women listeners were unimpressed when, in 1996, be declared on air that the fact that 4% of women in the American armed forces ware roped showed remarkable self-restraint on the part of Uncle Sam’s soldiers. His arrogance in not allowing BBC editors to see his script in advance worked, not for the first time, to his detriment. His defenders said he could not help living with the 1930s values he had acquired and somewhat dubiously went on to cite “gallantry” as chief among them. Cooke’s raconteur style encouraged a whole generation of BBC men to think of themselves as more important than the story. His treacly tones were the model for the regular World Service reports. From Our Own Correspondent known as FOOCs in the business. They may yet be his epitaph.Answer the following questions briefly. Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.16. Which fact about Cooke is the writer most critical of?17. How would you describe Cooke?18. What does the writer mean by saying that ‘...most of his opinions have been acquired on the golf course with fellow celebrities’ at the end of the fourth paragraph?19. What does the word unimpressed suggest in the last paragraph?20. In what kind of tone does the writer comment on Cooke’s life and career in the passage?IV. This section contains two tasks. Complete the tasks according to the instructions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.TASK ONE (20 分)Supply a missing paragraph to the following passage. Your paragraph should be consistent with the tone, style and rhetorical organization of the given passage. The paragraph should be within 80 words in length. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.An acceptable essay must be unified. It must make one clearly identifiable point. The best way to ensure unity is to write a strong thesis sentence, and then to make sure that everything else you write in the essay somehow develops that thesis sentence.In addition to being unified, an acceptable essay must be cohesive. Its parts must stick together. Cohesion is obviously closely related to unity Unless the essay sticks together there will be-or will appear to be-no unity. Cohesion, however, is really a matter of connectives, of the glue or the strings that hold together the different parts of an essay. We sometimes use the word transitions to refer to the connective devices by which writers announce that they are finished with one part of an argument and going on to the next part We sometimes use the word sign posts to refer to the quite explicit information that writers give to their readers about where they are in the development of their support for their thesis. Whatever the terminology we use to explain conesion, your will appreciate your telling them, quite directly, where you are and where you are going.Finally, an acceptable essay must be organized. Some principles of arrangement must be made evident to your readers. If your readers are to know where they are at any given point in your argument, they must be given a clear notion of how you are structuring your essay. The structure of your essay, the organizational principle of it, can be shown by means of an outline, or skeleton sketch.TASK TWO (30分)“A man is known by the company he keeps.” First state what this means and then explain how far you think this statement is justified. You should provide convincing evidence to support your argument.Your response should be within 500 words. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.参考答案1.Fill in each of the blanks below with a word provided in the brackets. The wordsyou put in must be grammatically and semantically appropriate.

This section contains two tasks. Complete the tasks according to the instructions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.TASK ONESo, from above we know three elements of an acceptable essay. Unity, cohesion and organization are what writers should try to achieve in the process of writing. With practice, you may compose good essays and have dedicated readers.TASK TWOA man is known by the company he keepsThis sentence is first come from Aesop’s Fables with the meaning that a person is believed to be like the people with whom he or she spends time.And I personally can’t agree more with this epigram. In China there is also a sentence with the same meaning: one who nears vermilion becomes red and one who nears ink becomes black. Thousand of years ago our ancestors had found out this truth, and we descendents have no reason to disbelieve it. And I have more than enough evidence to prove the correctness of this sentence.In animal world, if a duckling happened to be raised by a hen, it would deem itself as a member of chicken family. And its behavior would be to a large extent like that of chicks.While in human society, the situation varies little. A man would definitely be influenced by people with whom he spends most time. For example, a new graduate who goes to his new job and hangs around with workers for several months would speak in the way that belongs to workers. Why? Because workers are everywhere. Their way of living constitute a new environment for that graduate. Under the influence of workers, he has to change. Otherwise, he would feel isolated.Good environment exerts good influences on people; bad environment exerts worse ones. Ask any criminal taken prisoner for theft and you would in surprise find out almost all of them were abetted to steal. As we know, no one was born a criminal. From this point we know how huge the influence of company is.。

Section I Translate the following into Chinese. (35%)The 20th century-- the century of metamyths and of megadeaths -- spawned false notions of total control, derived from arrogant assertions of total righteousness. The religious man of pre-modem times, who accepted reality as God-ordained, had given way to the secular fanatic, increasingly inclined to usurp God in the effort to construct heaven on earth, subordinating not only nature but humanity itself to his own utopian vision.In the course of the century, this vision was perverted into the most costly exercise of political hubris in mankind's history: the totalitarian attempt to create coercive utopias. All of reality -- on the objective level of social organization and on the subjective level of personal beliefs -- was to be subject to doctrinal control emanating from a single political center. The price paid in human lives for this excess is beyond comprehension.Adding them all up, somewhere between 167 million and 175 million individual human beings were deliberately extinguished through politically motivated carnage -- the scores of millions of soldiers and civilians killed in the century's wars, the further scores of millions killed in concentration camps, gulags, forced collectivization, ethnic transplantings, and killing fields decreed by self-deified dictators.The tens of millions that were killed because they were perceived,for racial or social reasons, as unworthy of living within the earthly utopia -- and the many millions more that were coerced into living within these systems -- all testify to the hypnotic appeal of the metamyths of Nazism that postulated the end of history and the attainment of perfection within utopias of total control.The manifest failure of that endeavor has given way in the West to the current antithesis, which is essentially that of minimal control over personal and collective desires, sexual appetites, and social conduct. But inherent in the almost total rejection of any control is the notion that all values are subjective and relative.In brief, this century has seen mankind move from experimentation with the coercive utopia of totalitarianism to enjoyment of the permissive cornucopia of today's America.(word count: 347)Note:megadeath:[U] a word meaning one million deaths, used when talking about a nuclear warusurp:v [T]formal to take someone else's power, position, job etc when you do not have the right tohubris:n [U] literary great and unreasonable pridecoerce: v [T] to force someone to do something they do not want to do by threatening themcornucopia: n 1 a decorative container in the shape of an animal's horn, full of fruit and flowers, used to represent plenty 2 a lot of good things-- From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary EnglishII.

【考研经验】2021年广东外语外贸大学外国语言学及应用语言学初复试考研指导广东外语外贸大学外国语言学及应用语言学考研经验谈本人现广东外语外贸大学外国语言学及应用语言学专业研一，本科为南昌某普通二本工科院校英语专业。
先说说择校择专业吧，刚开始对于选择广外还是纠结了很久，毕竟广外外语专业很强，每年的竞争都很激烈。
但是鉴于我们学院几乎每年都有学长学姐考上，后来在新详旭老师的择校指导下觉得不是很难，广外的题都很基础。
看了广外的题型之后，觉得还挺适合自己，抱着别人能考上，我也能上的心态做了决定。
关于专业的选择，主要看个人兴趣和擅长。
因为本人不太擅长百科，更倾向于二外，所以没有选择翻硕。
然后对翻译理论与实践这个研究方向感兴趣，所以选了词典中心的外应专业（广外三个院系有外应专业：英文学院、商英学院、词典中心）。
补充一点：择校择专业，适合自己很重要。
广外的英语专业初试的试卷都是一样的：英语水平测试、翻译与写作、二外。
而且广外初试不考语言学，文学方面的知识，所以复习起来更容易些。
初试经验：政治: 本人虽是文科生，但是暑假就开始看政治了（看视频），推荐徐涛的视频。
我觉得他的视频不枯燥。
书的话就买肖秀荣的1000题和精讲精练。
看徐涛的视频，对着精讲精练看，看完这个课时就刷这个课时的题（1000题）。
但是因为徐涛的视频对着他自己的书讲，所以和肖秀荣的书内容有些不一样，但大部分一样。
看政治的顺序: 马哲，思修，近代史，毛中特。
前期一定得多刷选择题，问答题到后面背肖四就行。
我就刷了1000题两遍，历年真题，肖四肖八，其它都没有，所以我初试选择题分不高（好像只有36）。
后期12月的时候就得背肖四了，至少背两遍吧，每年肖四都能押中，所以一定得背。
还有我觉得问答题字得写好，多写点，分就会高些吧。
选择题后期看一下错题吧，我感觉好像挺多选择题都是1000题上的。
二外法语: 题型为前三题可能是选择题，也有可能填空题，每年不同（考连词，时态，介词，冠词），今年是选择题，然后两篇阅读（篇幅不长），两段法译汉（篇幅不长），5个汉译法句子。

PART 1 GENERAL KNLOWLEDGE (20%)Choose the best answer and mark the answer ON YOUR ANSWER SHEET.1 One of the important themes of the 19th century English fiction was the feminine predicament,a common theme shared by the following novels except .A. Jane EyreB. Henry EsmondC. The Portrait of a LadyD. Daniel DerondaPART TWO: READING AND APPRECIATION (40%)Section I. Read the following poem and answer the questions given on the Answer Sheet.WILLIAM SHAKESPEARESonnet 73That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare [r uin’d] choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.In me thou seest the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west,Which by and by black night doth take away,Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.In me thou seest the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,As the death-bed whereon it must expire,Consum’d with that which it was nourish’d by.This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.Section II. Read the following short story and answer the questions given on the Answer Sheet.SHERWOOD ANDERSONPaper Pills1 He was an old man with a white beard and huge nose and hands. Long before the time duringwhich we will know him, he was a doctor and drove a jaded white horse from house to house through the streets of Winesburg. Later he mamed a girl who had money. She had been left a large fertile farm when her father died. The girl was quiet, tall, and dark, and to many people she seemed very beautiful. Everyone in Winesburg wondered why she married the doctor.Within a year after the marriage she died.PART THREE: ESSAY WRITING (40%)Read the following excerpt and write a comment in essay form in about 350 words.1 The word for ‘biography’has been universal in all European languages for the last twohundred years. Since it is derived from the Greek root ‘bios’ meaning life, there appears to be some serious error in my title. Surely I mean, ‘Biography and Life’?(Biography and Death---The text of the 1997 Huizinga Lecture by Richard Holmes)。

广外MTI考研复试问题之翻译理论家尤金奈达
广外MTI考研复试问题第一部分关于翻译理论家第一讲尤金·奈达Questions：1.奈达对翻译的定义2.读过奈达的哪些著作3.知道奈达的哪些理论4.如何理解、评价奈达的功能理论5.形式对等与动态对等的区别6.动态对等与功能对等的区别Question1：答题要点：奈达认为翻译是在译入语中找到与源语信息最自然、贴切的对等物。
首先就意义而言，而其次是就风格而言。
Question2:答题要点：奈达的主要著作包括：《圣经翻译》Bible Translating《从圣经翻译看翻译原则》《翻译原则科学探索》《翻译理论与实践》《从一种语言到另一种语言——圣经中的功能对等》Question3：答题要点：奈达功能理论形式对等VS 动态对等VS功能对等1.形式对等聚焦于信息文本本身，着眼于形式、内容层面的对等2.动态对等则是：（1）定义为在译入语中用最切近而又自然的对等语再现源语的信息。
（2）将译文读者对译文的感受在内，而关注的不再是源语信息与译语信息逐字逐句的一一对应，而是一种动态的关系。
（3）奈达认为，动态即译者对译文所作出的反应与原文读者对原文作出的反应基本一致，即：目的语读者与译本的关系。
后来，用“功能对等”代替“动态对等”，二者并无实质性的差别。
形式对等与功能对等的差别：功能对等更突出翻译的交际功能。
三因素：对等、自然、最贴切（1）对等：源语与译语之间传递信息或意义的对等（2）自然：译文的表达方式应符合译入语的表达习惯（3）最贴切：要贴近源语的信息源语与译语在意义上要做到近似。
要求选择与原文意义最相近的。
奈达认为：（1）意义是最重要的，其次才是形式。
（2）平衡形式与意义，最大程度再现原文。
（3）翻译以目标语读者为中心，强调目标读者的反应与阅读体验。
意义上的对等大于形式上的对等（4）最大程度再现原文意义功能对等：（两个层次）（1）最高层次上的对等译文读者与原文读者以相同的形式欣赏译文（2）最低层次的对等译文读者能透过对译文的理解而想象到原文读者是如何理解和欣赏文章的要注意的是，优秀的译文通常介于二者之间。

Translation from English to Chinese (30%)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 like 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 surface. 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.III.

广东外语外贸大学英语语言文学与比较文化研究方向研究生复试试题
广东外语外贸大学英语语言文学与比较文化研究方向研究生复试试题Tradition and the Individual TalentT. S EliotIn English writing we seldom speak of tradition, though we occasionally apply its name in deploring its absence. Yet if the only form of tradition, of handing down, consisted in following the ways of the immediate generation before us in a blind or timid adherence to its successes, “tradition” should positively be discouraged. We have seen many such simple currents soon lost in the sand; and novelty is better than repetition. Tradition is a matter of much wider significance. It cannot be inherited, and if you want it you must obtain it by great labour. It involves, in the first place, the historical sense, which we may call nearly indispensable to anyone who would continue to be a poet beyond his twenty-fifth year; and the historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence; the historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of the literature of Europe from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order. This historical sense, which is a sense of the timeless as well as of the temporal and of the timeless and of the temporal together, is what makesa writer traditional. And it is at the same time what makes a writer most acutely conscious of his place in time, of his contemporaneity. No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead. I mean this as a principle of æsthetic, not merely historical, criticism. The necessity that he shall conform, that he shall cohere, is not one-sided; what happens when a new work of art is created is something that happens simultaneously to all the works of art which preceded it. The existing monuments form an ideal order among themselves, which is modified by the introduction of the new (the really new) work of art among them. The existing order is complete before the new work arrives; for order to persist after the supervention of novelty, the whole existing order must be, if ever so slightly, altered; and so the relations, proportions, values of each work of art toward the whole are readjusted; and this is conformity between the old and the new. Whoever has approved this idea of order, of the form of European, of English literature, will not find it preposterous that the past should be altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past. And the poet who is aware of this will be aware of great difficulties and responsibilities. In a peculiar sense he will be aware also that he must inevitably be judged by the standards of the past. I say judged, not amputated, by them; notjudged to be as good as, or worse or better than, the dead; and certainly not judged by the canons of dead critics. It is a judgment, a comparison, in which two things are measured by each other. To conform merely would be for the new work not really to conform at all; it would not be new, and would therefore not be a work of art. And we do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value—a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity. We say: it appears to conform, and is perhaps individual, or it appears individual, and may conform; but we are hardly likely to find that it is one and not the other.1, Read the article carefully and summrize it in 150 words. You are asked to make a presentation of more than 5 minutes and less than 10 minutes. 2, Do you agree with Eliot’s opinions. Why? If you do not agree, why ?。

B 63. …Now, do the Reading Comprehension.Text ATommy Albelin, a Devils defenseman, was the team’s most effective performer the night the Stanley Cup champions played their best game of the young season. Playing left wing instead of defense against theDetroit Red Wings last Thursday night, Albelin scored the second goal of the game and made the pass that set up the fourth one.Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory that Coach JacquesLemaire said, “Tommy, you lost your job.”“I was kind of surprised,” Albelin said today. “When he saw the look on my face, he said very quickly ‘as a defenseman’ and I knew then he was joking.”Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in the next game, last Saturday’s 4-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators. Albelin responded just as well, making the pass for the winning goal.With Brian Rolston leaving today’s practice because of a foot problem and ready to join Bobby Holik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils, look for Albelin to return to left wing when New Jersey plays the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.This season, the 31-year-old Albelin has played left wing three times and defenseman four. In addition, because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling, Lemaire has been using him for penaltykilling and the power play.“It’s a big advantage to have a player like him,” Lemaire said after today’s practice. “When you don’t have the necessary play er to play against a player, you can use Abbey because he adjusts very well. He listens to all the things I tell the defensemen and all the things I tell the forwards. “Lemaire’s decision to shuttle Albelin is not prompted by a desire to find the best pos ition for him. Rather, it is testimony toAlbelin’s ve rsatility.Albelin was used as a left wing for the first time by Herb Brooks, the man whom Lemaire replaced after Brooks resigned three summers ago, but he played only a handful of games in that position.The Devils changed coaches frequently in Albeli n’s early years with the team. As a result, Albelin contemplated returning home to Sweden several times. But he said today he was glad he never did.Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988 and has been a solid player. Year after year, despite coaching changes, injuries and the presence of marquee names like Scott Stevens, Slava Fetisov, Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux, Albelin’s dedication and consummate professionalism have made him an integral part of the team.“My philosophy has always been to play where the team needs me,” Albelin said. “I don’t question the decisions by the coaches. As long as I’m out there on the ice, I don’t care what position I play.”Albelin has performed effectively at wing and on defense despite the different responsibilities. Judging by the way Albelin described them, it is clear he prefers to play defense.“There are a lot of adjustments you have to make as a forward,” Albelin said, “You have to be a little more creative, do more things with the puck. Improvise somewhat, but to a point. As a defenseman, you can get by most of the time by giving the puck to your forwards and support the play.”Albelin said today that the uncertainty over whether he will play defense or offense on any given night was not much of a concern in terms of preparing himself.“I don’t mind as long as I know before the warm-ups,” he said.61. Tommy Albelin is _______ defenseman.A. Red WingsB. CanucksC. DevilsD. Brooks62. Albelin has played defenseman _______ this season.A. three timesB. four timesC. two timesD. five times63. Coach Lemaire shuttles Albelin because he _______.A. is versatileB. is a solid playerC. is very dedicatedD. is docile64.

The Best Player in DevilsC. The Versatile Albelin in CanucksD. Versatile Albelin Brings Devil VictoriesText BThe effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought. How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence, then the effect is to be wide, slow, permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not, they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is, to speak and write sincerely. The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney’s maxim: —“Look in thy heart, and write.” He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when the empty book has gathered all its praise, and halfthe people say, “What poetry! What genius!” it still needs fuel to make fire. That only profits which is profitable. Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable. There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last. Gilt edges, vellum, and morocco, and presentation-copies to all the libraries, will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date. It must go with all Walpole’s Noble andRoyal Authors to its fate. Blackmore, Kotzebue, or Pollok may endure for a night, but Moses and Homer stand forever. There are not in the worldat any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understandPlato: — never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, asif God brought them in his hand. “No book,” said Bentley, “was ever written down by any but itself.” The permanence of all books is fixedby no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, orthe intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man. “Do not trouble yourself too much about the light on your statue,” said Michelangelo to the young sculptor; “the light of the public square will test its value.”In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depthof the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did, even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large,all-related, and is called an institution.67. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _________.A. Only the thing that is profitable profits.B. If the pages do not instruct you, they will not die like fliesinthe hour.C. Only the statement, which you have come at in attempting to satisfyyour reader’s curiosity, is fit to be made public.D. He that writes by himself writes to an eternal public.68. “How much water does it draw?” means__________.A. How much content does it have?B. How much influence does it exert?C. How much value does it have?D. How important is it?69. A writer’s fame is decided upon by __________.A. partial and noisy readersB. a court of angelsC. an angel-like public not to be bribedD. a public to be bribed70. At any time in the world Plato’s work are read and understood by__________.A. less than a dozen personsB. more than a dozen personsC. many peopleD. no one71. The permanence of all books is fixed by__________.A. no effortB. friendly effortC. hostile effortD. their own specific gravityText CPsychologists study memory and learning with both animal and human subjects. The two experiments reviewed here show how short-term memory has been studied.Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special apparatus which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was alight in each door. First the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunters did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. The rat had to wait different intervals before it was releasedfrom the cage. Hunter found that if the rat had to wait more than ten seconds, it could not remember the correct door. Hunter’s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 students at the University of California in Los Angeles. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Some of them had four unrelated choices. For instance, weather, method, love, result could be used as four unrelated words. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shot-term memory.72. In hunter’s experiment, the rat had to remember_________.A. where the food wasB. how to leave the cageC. how big the cage wasD. which light was turned on73. Hunter found that rats_________.A. can remember only where their food isB. cannot learn to go to the correct doorC. have no short-term memoryD. have a short-term memory of one-sixth a minute74. Henning tested the students’ m emory of _________.A. words copied several timesB. words explainedC. words heardD. words seen75. Henning concluded that beginning and advanced students________.A. have no difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryB. differ in the way they retain wordsC. have much difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryD. hold words in their short-term memory in the same way76. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_________.A. The rat could find the correct door when the light of the next doorwas turned offB. The rat could find the correct door to get the food whenever it wasreleased from its cageC. Each of the three doors had a light that was turned onD. The rat could remember where to find the food if it waited for lessthan ten secondsText DA Frenchman, the psychologist Alfred Binet, published the first standardized test of human intelligence in 1905. But it was an American, Lewis Terman, a psychology professor at Stanford, who thought to divide a test taker’s “mental age”, as revealed by that score, by his or her chro nological age to derive a number that he called the “intelligence quotient”, or IQ. It would be hard to think of a pop-scientific coinagethat has had a greater impact on the way people think about themselves and others.No country embraced the IQ – and the application of IQ testing to restructure society –more thoroughly than the U.S. Every year millions of Americans have their IQ measured, many with a direct descendant of Bin et’s original test, the Standford-Binet, although not necessarily for the purpose Binet intended. He developed his test as a way of identifying public school students who needed extra help in learning, and that is still one of its leading uses.But the broader and more controversial use of IQ testing has its roots in a theory of intelligence – part science, part sociology –that developed in the late 19th century, before Binet’s work and entirely separate from it. Championed first by Charles Darwin’s cous in Francis Galton, it held that intelligence was the most valuable human attribute, and that if people who had a lot of it could be identified and put in leadership positions, all of society would benefit.Terman believed IQ tests should be used to conduct a great sorting out of the population, so that young people would be assigned on the basis of their scores to particular levels in the school system, which would lead to corresponding socioeconomic destinations in adult life. The beginning of the IQ-testing movement overlapped with the eugenics movement –hugely popular in America a nd Europe among the “better sort” before Hitler gave it a bad name –which held that intelligence was mostly inherited and that people-deficient in it should be discouraged from reproducing. The state sterilization that JusticeOliver Wendell Holmes notoriously endorsed in a 1927 Supreme Court decision was done with an IQ score as justification.The American IQ promoters scored a great coup during World War I when they persuaded the Army to give IQ tests to 1.7 million inductees.It was the world’s first m ass administration of an intelligence test, and many of the standardized tests in use today can be traced back to it: the now ubiquitous and obsessed-over SAT (Study Ability Test); the Wechler, taken by several million people a year, according to its publisher; and Terman’s own National Intelligence Test, originally used in tracking elementary school children. All these tests took from the Army the basic technique of measuring intelligence mainly by asking vocabulary questions (synonyms, antonyms, analogies, reading comprehension).77. According to Terman’s theory, a twelve-year-old boy’s mental ageis 10, then his IQ number is about __________.A. 0.8B. 0.9C. 1.0D. 1.278. IQ test is originally used to ___________.A. find out the students who need extra help in learningB. assign young people to different majorsC. select the acceptable recruits for armyD. select the leaders for society79. The viewpoint that intelligence was mostly inherited and peopledeficient in intelligence should be discouraged from reproducing was held by ___________.A.IQ-testing movementB. Eugenic movementC.HitlerD.both IQ-testing and Eugenic movements80. Wha t does the author probably mean by “scored a great coup” (seePara. 5)?A. FailedB. SucceededC. CriticizedD. AdvocatedText EHistorical developments of the past half century and the invention of modern telecommunication and transportation technologies have created a world economy. Effectively the American economy has died and been replaced by a world economy.In the future, there is no such thing as being an American manager. Even someone who spends an entire management career in Kansas City is in international management. He or she will compete with foreign firms, buy from foreign firms, sell to foreign films, or acquire financing from foreign banks.The globalization of the world’s capital markets that has occurred in the past 10 years will be replicated right across the economy in the next decade. An international perspective has become central to management. Without it managers are operating in ignorance and cannot understand what is happening to them and their firms.Partly because of globalization and partly because of demography, the work forces of the next century are going to be very different from those of the last century. Most firms will be employing more foreign nationals. More likely than not, you and your boss will not be of the same nationality. Demography and changing social mores mean that white males will become a small fraction of the work force as women and minorities grow in importance. All of these factors will require changes in the traditional methods of managing the work force.In addition, the need to produce goods and services at quality levels previously thought impossible to obtain in mass production andthe spreading use of participatory management techniques will require a work force with much higher levels of education and skills. Production workers must be able to do statistical quality control; production workers must be able to do just in-time inventories. Managers are increasingly shifting from a “don’t think, do what you are told” to a “think, I am not going to tell you what to do” style of management.Th is shift is occurring not because today’s managers are more enlightened than yesterday’s managers but because the evidence is rapidly mounting that the second style of management is more productive than the first style of management. But this means that problems of training and motivating the work force both become more central and require different modes of behaviour.In the word of tomorrow managers cannot be technologicallyilliterate regardless of their functional tasks within the firm. They don’t have to be scientists or engineers inventing new technologies, but they have to be managers who understand when to bet and when not to bet on new technologies. If they don’t understand what is going o n and technology effectively becomes a black box, they will fail to make the changes that those who do understand what is going on inside the black box make. They will be losers, not winners.Today’s CEOs are those who solved the central problems facingtheir companies 20 years ago. Tomorrow’s CEOs will be those w ho solve central problems facing their companies today. Sloan hopes to produce a generation of managers who will be solving today’s and tomorrow’s problems and because they are successful in doing so they will become tomorrow’s captains of business.。

刚下考场，以下是今年的英翻中，感谢考研论坛广东外语外贸大学区~英翻中：The autumn leaves blew over the moonlight pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward. 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. He almost thought he heard the motion of her hands as she walked, and the infinitely small sound now, the white stir of her face turning when she discovered she was a moment away from a man who stood in the middle of the pavement waiting.中翻英：在人世间，除了夫妻之外，我想还有很多异性朋友存在，它与爱情无关，只因着共同的意念，共同的爱好而彼此欣赏，就像两束灿烂的阳光偶尔碰撞，交叠出炫目的辉煌。

论述题在考研专业课中属于中等偏上难度的题目，考察对学科整体的把握和对知识点的灵活运用，进 而运用理论知识来解决现实的问题。但是，如果我们能够洞悉论述题的本质，其实回答起来还是非常简单 的。论述题，从本质上看，是考察队多个知识点的综合运用能力。因此，这就要求我们必须对课本的整体 框架和参考书的作者的写书的内部逻辑。这一点是我们育明考研专业课讲授的重点，特别是对于跨专业的 考生来说，要做到这一点，难度非常大。 2．育明考研答题攻略：论述题三步走答题法 是什么——》为什么——》怎么样 第一，论述题中重要的核心概念，要阐释清楚；论述题中重要的理论要点要罗列到位。这些是可以在书本 上直接找到的，是得分点，也是进一步分析的理论基点。 第二，要分析目前所存在问题出现的原因。这个部分，基本可以通过对课本中所涉及的问题进行总结而成。 第三，提出自己合理化的建议。 3．育明教育答题示范 例如：结合治理理论，谈谈我们政府改革。 第一，阐释“治理”的定义，然后分段阐释“治理理论的核心主张，包括理论主张和政策主张”。 第二，分析目前“政府改革”中存在的问题及其原因。 第三，结合治理理论的理论和政策主张，并结合相关的一些理论提出自己的改革措施。我们育明考研经过
广东外语外贸大学英语考研复试经验
广东外语外贸大学英语考研复试经历上次我在初试成绩公布前上传了一些资料攒人品，结果成绩出来还不错。
这次也在复试结果出来之前分享下经历，求被录取，求有学上。
（我现在写经历帖还有一个原因，就是怕到时要是复试挂了，我可能没心思写了）关于初试在今年400+遍地开花的情况下，我的分数最多就算是中等。
关于如何提高的帖子，论坛上也有好些人发了，其实方法都是大同小异，无外乎扩大词汇提高阅读写作翻译能力等等，无论用什么学习方法，只要适合自己，能帮助自己提高就可以了，我就不在这献丑了，只谈谈我觉得需要注意的地方。
政治提到这课我就来气，花的时间也不少，红宝书来来回回都翻了好几遍，还买了网上课程来听，最后考出来的分数实在让我心酸，没公布成绩之前我甚至一度担忧不过线。
还好，最后算是勉强过关。
后来我检讨了自己，总结了失败的原因，如果要用一个字来形容我失败的原因，那就是：懒，如果要用四个字来形容，那就是：懒得做题。
我就做过肖的1000题，肖四任四也是随便做做就往边边丢，大题都没有碰。
就只有往年那几份真题做得仔细一点。
我那个时候把精力都放到专业课跟二外，这科做了真题，感觉选择都能拿30多分，总分应该能拿个70来分，无奈人算不如天算，今年感觉多项比往年难，我做得不好，于是乎，这一科悲催了。
个人经历谈：你可以不靠这科来拉总分，但是至少不能给它拖后腿，选择题要拿高分多做题才是王道啊！（我看政治考得不错的人大局部都是做蛮多题的）二外我的二外是日语，考得也不如我所预想的好。
原因同上，还是懒得做题，我只看初级上下册，另外买了一本配套的练习册，不过题都没怎么做，就连书上的课后习题也只做了20多课吧！后面全部放空。
（不是我觉得自己根底好，还是那句话，就是懒呀!我已经知道错了）我还有买了一本N3的真题，好似做了几题语法，然后又丢边边去了。
我后来在论坛逛，一比照人家学日语的方法，才知道，就我这懒劲，能考这分数已经阿尼陀佛了。
个人经历谈：这科是蛮关键的，考得好的都能挤入90分以上的高产阶级了，如果你专业课不突出，在这科也要稍微下点苦功夫。

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Sonnet 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare [r uin’d] choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum’d with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
Section II. Read the following short story and answer the questions given on the Answer Sheet.
SHERWOOD ANDERSON
Paper Pills
1 He was an old man with a white beard and huge nose and hands. Long before the time during
which we will know him, he was a doctor and drove a jaded white horse from house to house through the streets of Winesburg. Later he mamed a girl who had money. She had been left a large fertile farm when her father died. The girl was quiet, tall, and dark, and to many people she seemed very beautiful. Everyone in Winesburg wondered why she married the doctor.
Within a year after the marriage she died.
PART THREE: ESSAY WRITING (40%)
Read the following excerpt and write a comment in essay form in about 350 words.
1 The word for ‘biography’has been universal in all European languages for the last two
hundred years. Since it is derived from the Greek root ‘bios’ meaning life, there appears to be some serious error in my title. Surely I mean, ‘Biography and Life’?
(Biography and Death---The text of the 1997 Huizinga Lecture by Richard Holmes)。
