I. Translate the Following Passage into Chinese. (50 Points)

When I got home after my 27th birthday party late last year, I sobbed. I cried because I was drunk. I cried because my boyfriend – away on work –hadn’t bothered to send me a card or a present, then he shouted at me for crying, then he dumped me. I cried because I had reached the age I had thought was ancient when I was a child (I remember thinking when I was 10 that by 27 I will probably have traveled around the world, had a hit single, married Prince William and had a baby).

Now, as if I didn’t fell closer to death already, Soho House said it will “actively discourage” anyone 27 and over from joining. I am not quite sure what this will achieve. On my first visit to Soho House (I was 24 and terminally unimpressed), I saw an actress from a teen soap flirting disgustingly with an old, ugly man who I presumed must do something big in TV – this is the type of young person who thinks Soho House is a good place to hang out.

The kind of youth injection Soho House needs – perhaps an Arctic Monkey or two and a couple of grim MCs–would lose all their credibility by signing that membership form. So I’m pleased to say that I have no interest in joining Soho House (at least not until I’m 37) –that makes me feel young, even if they think I’m too old.

In fact, how can I be too old? I still can’t drive. I still don’t know the difference between a Chardonnay and a Riesling and I still don’t know when to stop drinking either of them. I still don’t bother to cleanse, tone and moisturize. At Christmas gatherings, I still refer to aunts and uncles as “the grown-ups”.
