附:第八届“语言桥杯”翻译大赛原文(英译中)
You cannot compare with friendship the passion men feel for women, even though it is born of our own choice, nor can you put them in the same category.I must admit that the flames of passion are more active, sharp and keen.But that fire is a rash one, fickle, fluctuating and variable;it is a feverish fire, subject to attacks and relapses, which only gets hold of a corner of us.The love of friends is a general universal warmth, temperate moreover and smooth, a warmth which is constant and at rest, all gentleness and evenness, having nothing sharp nor keen.What is more, sexual love is but a mad craving for something which escapes us:
Like the hunter who chases the hare
Through heat and cold,Over hill and dale, yet,Once he has bagged it, he thinks nothing of it;
Only while it flees away, does he pound after it.As soon as it enters the territory of friendship(where wills work together, that is)it languishes and grows faint.To enjoy it is to lose it: its end is in the body and therefore subject to satiety.Friendship on the contrary is enjoyed in proportion to our desire: since it is a matter of the mind, with our souls being purified by practising it, it can spring forth, be nourished and grow only when enjoyed.Far below such perfect friendship those fickle passions also once found a place in me – not to mention in La Boe¨ tie, who confesses to all too many in his verses.And so those two emotions came into me, each one aware of the other but never to be compared, the first maintaining its course in a proud and lofty flight, scornfully watching the other racing along way down below.As for marriage, apart from being a bargain where only the entrance is free(its duration being fettered and constrained, depending on things outside our will), it is a bargain struck for other purposes;within it you soon have to unsnarl hundreds of extraneous tangled ends, which are enough to break the thread of a living passion and to trouble its course, whereas in friendship there is no traffic or commerce but with itself.In addition, women are in truth not normally capable of responding to such familiarity and mutual confidence as sustain that holy bond of friendship, nor do their souls seem firm enough to withstand the clasp of a knot so lasting and so tightly drawn.And indeed if it were not for that, if it were possible to fashion such a relationship, willing and free, in which not only the souls had this full enjoyment but in which the bodies too shared in the union – where the whole human being was involved — it is certain that the loving-friendship would be more full and more abundant.But there is no example yet of woman attaining to it and by the common agreement of the Ancient schools of philosophy she is excluded from it.

附:第九届“语言桥杯”翻译大赛原文(英译中)
John Lennon was born with a gift for music and comedy that would carry him further from his roots than he ever dreamed possible.As a young man, he was lured away from the British Isles by the seemingly boundless glamour and opportunity to be found across the Atlantic.He achieved that rare feat for a British performer of taking American music to the Americans and playing it as convincingly as any homegrown practitioner, or even more so.For several years, his group toured the country, delighting audiences in city after city with their garish suits, funny hair, and contagiously happy grins.This, of course, was not Beatle John Lennon but his namesake paternal grandfather, more commonly known as Jack, born in 1855.Lennon is an Irish surname—from O’Leannain or O’Lonain—and Jack habitually gave his birthplace as Dublin, though there is evidence that his family had already crossed the Irish Sea to become part of Liverpool’s extensive Hibernian community some time previously.He began his working life as a clerk, but in the 1880s followed a common impulse among his compatriots and emigrated to New York.Whereas the city turned other immigrant Irishmen into laborers or police officers, Jack wound up as a member of Andrew Roberton’s Colored Operatic Kentucky Minstrels.However brief or casual his involvement, this made him part of the first transatlantic popular music industry.American minstrel troupes, in which white men blackened their faces, put on outsize collars and stripey pantaloons, and sang sentimental choruses about the Swanee River, “coons,” and “darkies,” were hugely popular in the late nineteenth century, both as performers and creators of hit songs.When Roberton’s Colored Operatic Kentucky Minstrels toured Ireland in 1897, the Limerick Chronicle called them “the world’s acknowledged masters of refined minstrelsy,” while the Dublin Chronicle thought them the best it had ever seen.A contemporary handbook records that the troupe was about thirty-strong, that it featured some genuinely black artistes among the cosmetic ones, and that it made a specialty of parading through the streets of every town where it was to appear.For this John Lennon, unlike the grandson he would never see, music did not bring worldwide fame but was merely an exotic interlude, most details of which were never known to his descendants.Around the turn of the century, he came off the road for good, returned to Liverpool, and resumed his old life as a clerk, this time with the
Booth shipping line.With him came his daughter, Mary, only child of a first marriage that had not survived his temporary immersion in burnt-cork makeup, banjo music, and applause.When Mary left him to work in domestic service, a solitary old age seemed in prospect for Jack.His remedy was to marry his housekeeper, a young Liverpool Irishwoman with the happily coincidental name of Mary Maguire.Although twenty years his junior, and illiterate, Mary—better known as Polly—proved an ideal Victorian wife, practical, hardworking, and selfless.Their home was a tiny terrace house in Copperfield Street, Toxteth, a part of the city nicknamed “Dickens Land,” so numerous were the streets named after Dickens characters.Rather like Mr.Micawber in David Copperfield, Jack sometimes talked about returning to his former life as a minstrel and earning fortunes enough for his young wife, as he put it, to be “farting against silk.” But from here on, his music making would be confined to local pubs and his own family circle.
