如果人们想通过“不合时的死亡”这个词表达什么的话，他们肯定相信有些死亡要比另一些死亡来得合时一些。

老年时逝去很少被称为是不合时的――长命百岁被认为是完整的生命。

但如果是一个年轻人逝去，人们会设想大好年华还在后面，还不能对生命做出评价。

历史当然会否认这种观点。

在那些英年早逝的人当中，人们会想起玛丽莲·梦露，詹姆斯·迪恩斯。

他们的生命看起来既短暂又完整。

作家们难以接受诗人济慈26岁即逝去的事实，只能半开玩笑地认为他们自己26岁还一事无成。

那种认为中断的生命是不完整的想法是不合逻辑的，因为生命的价值是由他们留给世界的影响及其成就与美德来衡量的。

Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. They develop a style that agents market agressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there. Artists cannot remain idle, though. When the performer , painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public. After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month. Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing, run a
significant risk of losing the audience’s favor. The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famous.

III. Translate the following passage into Chinese.
It’s a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and happiness it had earlier denied him. In Oona O’Neill Chaplin, he found a partner whose stability and affection spanned the 37 years age difference between them, which had seemed so threatening that when the official who was marrying them in 1942 turned to the beautiful girl of 17 who’d given notice of their wedding date, he said, “And where is the young man?” --- Chaplin, then 54, had cautiously waited outside. As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was well prepared for the battle that Chaplin’s life became as many unfounded rumors surrounded them both --- and, later on, she was the center of calm in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in his own large family of talented children.

III. Translate the following passage into Chinese.
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discoures;and for ability ,is in the judgement and disposition of business.For expert men can execute,and perhaps judge of particulars,one by one;but the general counsels,and the plots and marshalling of affairs,come best from those that are learned.To spend too much timein studies is sloth;to use them too much for ornament,is affectation;to make judement wholly by their rules,is the humour of a scholor. They perfect nature,and are perfected by experience:for nature abilities are like natural plants,that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forh directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.Crafty men contempt studies,simple men admire them,and wise men use them;for they teach not their own use;but that is a wisdom without them,and above them,won by observation.Read not to contradict and confute;nor to believe and take for granted;nor to find talk and discourse;but to weigh and consider.Some books are to be tasted,others to be swallowed,and some few to be chewed and digested;that is,some books are to be read only in parts;others to be read,but not curiously;and some few to be read wholly,and with diligence and attention,Some books also may be read by deputy,and extracts made of them by others;but that would be only in the less important arguments,and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are,like common distilled waters,flashy things.

爱就像根松紧带，在它将你们紧紧拉在一起之前，必须先拉开。

爱又像涌来的潮水，一浪过后先退却一点，下一个浪才比前一个离你们的心更近。

没有言语，争吵不能得到解决，这样我们就失去了分享自己生活意义的能力。

重要的是承认并表达自己的情感。

爱不是一次性的行为，而是一生的探索。

我们总是在这种探索中学习、发现和成长。

唯有耐心和理解才能得到爱。

New China brought about the system of regional autonomy for national minorities. Organs of self-government were set up in regions where people of national minorities live in compact communities，and the internal affairs of the national minorities were handled by themselves. At present，there are throughout the country 159 national autonomous areas，including five autonomous regions，30 autonomous prefectures and 124 autonomous counties （or banners）。

National autonomous areas exercise all rights of self-government in accordance with the Law of the People‘s Republic of China on Regional National Autonomy and may work out autonomous rules and specific regulations according to local political，economic and cultural characteristics. Without violating the Constitution and the law，autonomous regions have the right to adopt special policies and flexible measures；autonomous organs can apply for permission to make alterations or desist from implementing resolutions，decisions，orders and instructions made by higher-level state organs if they are not in accordance with the situation in autonomous regions. Organs of self-government have the right to handle local financial，economic，cultural and educational affairs. In regions where people of a number of ethnic groups live together or in scattered communities，more than 1，500 national townships were established so as to enable national minorities to enjoy equal rights to the fullest.。
