1.In She Walks in Beauty, How does the poet describe a beautiful
woman? 在《她在美中行》中,诗人如何描述一个美丽的女人?
In the first section, the author compares the lady to a night sky full of bright stars, which gives off a wonderful combination of light and dark. In the second section, which depicts her almost perfect hair and face, her external beauty is as pure and beautiful as her internal beauty. The light on her face was almost perfect. Her thoughts are sincere and sweet. The last section tells readers that her soft cheeks, her charming smile and the color of her skin express not only her external beauty, but also once again the purity, kindness and peace of her spirit.在第一节,作者将这位女士比作充满了明亮星星的夜空,发出了明与暗结合的美妙色泽。
在第二节,描绘了她几乎完美的头发和脸,她的外在美和内在美相比,是一样的纯洁而美丽。
她脸上的光芒近乎完美。
她的思想又真诚又甜美。
最后一节告诉读者,她柔软的脸颊,她迷人的微笑和肤色的光彩,表达的不仅是她的外在美,更是再一次说明她的精神的纯洁、善良与平和。
2.In Sonnet 18, Why does the poet think it is inaccurate to compare his
friend to a day in summer?在十四行诗18中,为什么诗人认为把他的朋友比作夏天的一天是不准确的?
Firstly, compared with his friend’s loveliness and temperate temper, summer is too violent with its rough winds, destroying the beauty of May (darling buds of May); what’s more, summer is
too short in comparison to his friend’s eternal beauty. 首先,与他朋友的可爱和温和的脾气相比,夏天的风太猛烈了,破坏了五月的美丽(五月的蓓蕾);更重要的是,与他朋友永恒的美丽相比,夏天太短了。
Secondly, the summer sun is sometimes too hot and sometimes too obscured by clouds: it is not constant as his friend’s beauty is. 其次,夏天的太阳有时太热,有时又被云遮住:它不像他朋友的美丽那样恒久不变。
Thirdly, beauty can’t always stay with every beautiful person or object in nature.
Natural beauty will disappear or will be destroyed by accident or by nature’s change of seasons. The violent, short, hot and inconstant summer’s day possesses qualities different from those of his friend: gentle, constant and warm.
That’s why the comparison is inaccurate.
第三,美丽不能总是停留在每一个美丽的人或物体在自然界。
自然之美会消失或被意外或自然的季节变化所破坏。
夏日的狂暴、短暂、炎热和变幻无常,与他的朋友的性格不同:温和、持续和温暖。
这就是为什么这种比较是不准确的。
将下列句子从学习翻译成汉语
Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability.
读书足以怡情,足以博彩,足以长才。
Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.
阅读使人充实,会议使人敏捷,写作使人严谨。
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. 有些书需要品尝,有些书需要吞咽,有些书需要咀嚼和消化。

9.“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in
possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”Do you agree with the statement? What is the relationship between money and marriage?凡是有钱的单身汉,总想娶位太太,这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。
“你同意这个说法吗?”金钱和婚姻之间的关系是什么?
答案:不同意。
金钱作为最基本的物质基础,我们不否认金钱与婚姻的利害关系,
但只以金钱为目的的婚姻关系是令人批判的。
为了财产、金钱、地位结婚是错误的,而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。
反对为金钱而结婚,也反对将婚姻当作儿戏。
男女情感应该是缔结婚姻的基石。
Disagree. Money as the most basic material basis, we do not deny the interests of money and marriage, but only for the purpose of money marriage is critical. It is wrong to marry for property, money, or position, and it is foolish to marry without considering the above. Oppose to marry for money, also oppose to regard marriage as trifling matter. Emotions between men and women should be the cornerstone of marriage.。
