  Appearances, however, can be deceptive. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.

If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or religions with disrespect, the whole society may be paralyzed.

  有些人认为,他们之所以工作是为了谋生。他们说,他们很羡慕那些不工作的人,他们梦想着过一种整天玩而不必工作的生活,无休止的放假渡假的生活。但是,难道钱真的是我们工作的唯一或主要的驱动因素吗?

  Some people think they work because they have to make a living. They say they envy people who don’t have to work.

  人道是骄兵必败。就拿拿破仑和希特勒(Napoleon and Hitler)来说吧,他们所想披靡,便以为自己战无不胜,不可阻挡。但俄罗斯的冰雪战士(icy defender)证明他们错了。

  They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, they won many victories, which led them to believe that anything was possible and that nothing could stand in their way. But Russia’s icy defender proved them wrong.

  在美国,许多人拥有手枪。有人为了自卫******,如Gail Smith。另外一些人则拒绝这样做,比如她的许多朋友,因为他们认为,枪支引发的问题比解决的更多。以前Gail与她的朋友们持有相同的观点,但最终她改变了看法。

  Many people in America own handguns. Some, like Gail Smith, buy a gun for self-defense. Others, like her friends, refuse to do so because they think that guns cause more problems than they solve. Gail used to share her friends’ views, but eventually changed her mind.

  下午

  工作提供的不只是经济方面的安全。它给人们带来自信;当人们造出了一件具有挑战性的作品并且能够说,“我造了它”时,他们会有一种满足感。心理学家们认为,工作赋予人们以身份;通过参与工作,他们得到一种自我和个体的感觉。

  Work offers more than financial security. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they have produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, “ I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity; through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism.

  很显然,真正的友谊必然是真诚的、无条件的,它应该建立在相互理解,而不是相互利用上。同样,真正的友谊总能给我们带来一种安全、温暖的感觉,能激励我们前进,而虚假的友谊会在我们成功时利用我们,而当我们陷于困境时抛弃我们。

  It is clear that true friendship must be sincere and unconditional. It should be based on mutual understanding, not on mutual benefit. Also, true friendship can always give us a feeling of security, and warmth, and encourage us to make progress while false friendship will take advantage of us when we are crowned with success, or desert us when we are in deep waters.

  中国家庭生活中的变化反映了我们国家的经济发展。如果没有整个国家的繁荣,我们的家庭生活很可能与以前一样。大家都会赞同我的看法,时代变了,是变得更好了。

  The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.

  我写信是想告诉您,我是多么感激您在我的儿子Robert上周四扭伤脚腕时帮助他。在这样一个痛苦时刻有人给予他安慰和照顾,这对他很有意义。

  I am writing to let you know how much I appreciate your helping my son Robert last Thursday when he sprained his ankle. It meant a great deal to him to have someone extend comfort and care at such a distressing time.

  我为我昨晚在晚宴上的行为可能造成的误会感到深深的歉意。我有点失态了,不该破坏这么美好的一个夜晚。我希望你能原谅我,你的友谊对我而言很重要。

  然而,人们往往认为,竞争与合作是相互矛盾的。有人强调竞争,在他们看来,没有竞争就没有责任感、没有动力,最终就没有进步。还有人无论干什么都主张合作,他们认为人与人之间的相互依赖在增加,没有依赖,我们所生活的社会就不能稳步地前进。

  It is often believed, however, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. Some people stress competition, without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive, and ultimately, no progress. Others advocate cooperation whatever they do. They are of the opinion that the dependence of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in cannot keep going smoothly.

  首先,随着人口的飞速增长,房屋的不足变得比以前都更加明显。。。。由于社会在进步,城市居民渴望宽敞的生活空间,他们期盼着能维护自身尊严的体面的居住空间。所有这些因素都导致住房问题的紧张。

  In the first place, with the rapid increase in population, the lack of housing is becoming more evident than ever before. Because the society is advancing, city dwellers long for spacious living. They look forward to decent dwelling places which can protect human dignity. All these factors result in the stress of housing problem.

  科学和技术在社会主义的建设中也发挥着重要的作用。可以说,社会主义建设好比一幢高楼,而科学技术就是其基础。没有这个基础,大楼就起不来。所以,我们应该尽力为科技的发展作出贡献,这样才能有一个扎实的基础去建设我们的国家。

  Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction. We may say that our socialist construction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscraper can’t be built up. Therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.

  他坚信奴隶制终将被废除,所有奴隶终将获得解放,种族歧视消失的那天一定会到来。

  代沟是当今世界最具有争议的问题之一,吸引了社会学者和普通公众的广泛注意。一方面,老一代人无法认同孩子们的言行,而另一方面,年轻人则抱怨父母落后于时代。

  Generation gap, one of the most controversial issues throughout the world, has attracted a lot of attention from both the social scientists and the general public. On the one hand, the older generation can’t agree with what their children say and do. On the other hand, the young people always complain that their parents are behind the times.

  最后,体育和比赛也有助于训练性格。它们不仅要求身体的技能和力量,还需要勇气、激情、纪律,通常还要团队精神。对孩子而言,球场上所学到的东西会对他们的性格产生深刻的影响。所以,人们应该定期参加体育活动。

  Finally, sports and games are also very useful in character¬ training. They demand not only physical skill and strength but also courage, enthusiasm, discipline and usually teamwork. For boys and girls, what is learned on the playground often has a deep effect on their character. As a consequence, people should take part in physical activities regularly.

  电视把一个精彩纷呈的世界带到了我们的面前。首先,电视让我们了解世界上正在发生着的一切,比如,它能给我们提供有关科技最新发展的最新信息。而且,电视给我们带来了各种各样的娱乐,例如,家里有一台电视,我们就能游览不同国家的许许多多的旅游景点。难怪许多人空闲时尤其愿意选择看电视了。

  Television presents a vivid world in front of us. To begin with, TV can keep us informed of what is happening throughout the world. For example, it can provide us with the up-to-date information about the recent developments in science and technology. In addition, TV brings us various forms of entertainment. For instance, with a TV set at home, we may watch sports competitions, concerts, etc. and we may even visit a great many tourist attractions in different countries. No wonder a lot of people choose, above all, to watch TV in their spare time.

  许多人,特别是刚毕业的大学生,都梦想着有自己的事业。虽说这些事业令人激动,富于回报,但刚入门的企业家还是应该在投身商海之前进行全面的调查和筹划。

  不同的人对压力有不同的看法。有人认为压力不是人们所认为的坏事,他们认为,一定数量的压力能给人们提供动力,给人生带来目标。还有人则认为,压力导致人精神衰弱,从而危及健康。他们认为,与压力相反,放松才是健康的身心所必不可少的。

  Different people, however, think of stress differently. Some believe that stress is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. They are of the opinion that a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. Others argue that stress contributes to one’s mental decline and hence endangers his health. According to them, relaxation, the opposite of stress, is essential for a healthy mind and body.

  至于电子游戏,不同的人有不同的看法。有人说应该禁止游戏,他们认为玩游戏不仅危害人的身体健康,尤其对眼睛,而且会占去业余时间,消耗人的体力,使他们不能有效地完成自己的工作。

  As for playing video games, different people have different opinions. Some persons think there should be a ban on video games. They argue that playing video games not only does harm to people’s physical health, especially to their eyes, but also occupies their spare time and consumes their energy, rendering them unable to accomplish their tasks efficiently.

  约翰逊先生的儿子乔治爱在晚上听重金属音乐,响声干扰了社区其他居民的睡眠。后来,疲惫不堪的邻居们失去了耐心,决定直接干预。他们打电话给约翰逊先生,坦率地把想法告诉了他。

  George, the son of Mr. Johnson, liked listening to heavy music in the evenings, and the noise interrupted the sleep of other residents in the community. Eventually, the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference. They called Mr. Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking.

  年青人出国读书有两个好处,首先,他们能学到发达国家的先进的科学技术,回国时可以带回祖国。其次,西方高校的经济资助可以视为为中国训练专业人员的一条捷径,因为,作为一个发展中国家,中国还没有富到可以资助大批学生去国外学习。

  There are two advantages for young people to study abroad. Firstly, they can acquire advanced science and technology in developed countries, and then introduce them into China when they come back. Secondly, financial support from western institutions of higher learning can be considered as a shortcut to train Chinese professionals since China, as a developing country, is not rich enough to support a large number of students studying abroad.

  除了好处之外,出国学习也有其不利之处。由此导致的主要问题便是人才流失。必须承认,发达国家有先进的研究环境和更好的生活条件,来自发展中国家的学生抵制不住在西方国家拿更高薪水的诱惑。通常,回到祖国的学生比例总是较低,因此,国家蒙受巨大的人才流失。

  Apart form advantages, studying abroad has also its disadvantages. The major problem it has caused is the brain drain. Admittedly, there are advanced research environment and better living conditions in developed countries, and students from developing countries can not resist the temptation of earning more salary in the west. More often than not, the proportion of students returning to homeland remains less. As a result, the country suffers a great loss of talents.

  约翰逊先生感到很尴尬,便去训斥儿子:“你这是怎么了?你该懂得不能为了你自己的兴趣而妨碍别人。”结果乔治拿唱片跟同学换了电脑游戏软件。总的来说,整个事解决得很圆满。

  Embarrassed, Mr. Johnson scolded his son, “ What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for the sake of your own interest.” As a result, George traded his records for computer games software from his classmates. Overall, the whole thing has worked out satisfactorily.

  1.翻译测试目的:

  考查考生对复杂句法和特定语境中的词汇的理解能力、相应的中文表达能力。

  2.解题方法:

  ——灵活的表达

  Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools.

  他们说,科学的发展与其说源于天才伟人的真知灼识,不如说源于改进了的技术和工具等等更为普通的东西。

  For example, they do not compensate for gross social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.

  例如,测试并不弥补明显的社会不公;因此,它们不能说明一个物质条件差的年轻人,如果在较好的环境下成长的话,会有多大才干。

  How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted.

  这些预测在多大程度上为的后来的表现所证实,这取决于所采用信息的数量、可靠性和适宜性,以及解释这些信息的技能和才智。

  (74) 一般来说,当所要测定的特征能很精确界定时,测试最为有效;而当所要测定或预测的东西不能明确地界定时,测试的效果则最差。

  (75) 例如,测试并不弥补明显的社会不公;因此,它们不能说明一个物质条件差的年轻人,如果在较好的环境下成长的话,会有多大才干。

  Q75句法再如:
