Be very wary of opinions that flatter your self-esteem.①Both men and women, ②nine times out of ten, are firmly convinced of the superior excellence of their own sex.There is abundant evidence on both sides.If you are a man, you can point out that most poets and men of science are male;if you are a woman, you can retort that so are most criminals.③The question is inherently insoluble, but self-esteem conceals this from most people.We are all, whatever part of the world we come from, ④persuaded that our own nation is superior to all others.Seeing that each nation has its characteristic merits and demerits, ⑤we adjust our standard of values so as to make out that the merits possessed by our nation are the really important ones, while its demerits are comparatively trivial.⑥Here, again, the rational man will admit that the question is one to which there is no demonstrably right answer.It is more difficult ⑦to deal with the self-esteem of man as man, because we cannot argue out the matter with some non-human mind.The only way I know of dealing with this general human conceit ⑧is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner of the universe, ⑨and that for aught we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings ⑩as superior to ourselves as we are to jelly-fish.对于那些容易助长你狂妄自大的观点尤宜提防。①„„②„„双方都有不可胜数的证据。如果你自己是男性，你可以指出大多数诗人和科学家都是男子；而如果你是女性，你可以用大多数罪犯也都是男子来反唇相讥。③„„但是，自尊心却使大多数人看不到这一点。不管我们属于世界上哪个国家，④„„看到每个民族都有自己特有的长处和短处，⑤„„以便证明自己民族的长处乃是真正重要的长处，而其缺点相对来说则微不足道。⑥„„由于我们无法和人类之外的智者辩论清楚，所以就更难⑦„„就我所知，处理这个普遍存在的人类自高自大问题的唯一方法就是⑧„„⑨„„宇宙中其他地方还有一些生物，⑩„„

不论男人或女人，男人和女人们，男人和女人，②十之八九都坚信男性或女性特别优越。十之八九都坚信自己性别的优越。

十之八九都坚信自己的性别比对方优越。③

这个问题天生就无法解决； 这个问题本来就无法解决； 这个问题本来是无法解决的； ④

我们总是认为自己的民族比所有其他民族都优越。大家总是认为我们自己的民族比所有其他民族都优越。大家总是被说服自己的民族比所有其他民族都优越。⑤

我们就要调整自己的价值标准，我们却调整自己的价值标准，我们就把自己的价值标准加以调整，⑥

在这个问题上，一位明白事理的人也一定会承认，它没有明显正确的答案。在这个问题上，理智的人会承认这个问题是没有可以论证的正确答案的。这里，明白事理的人一定会承认，它没有明显正确的答案。⑦

处理人的自高自大的问题，处理人之作为人的自高自大的问题，处理作为“人”的自尊问题，⑧

常听到这样的抱怨：做女人真是吃力。我深有同感。细究起来，① 这种吃力，不仅是体力上的，更主要的是心理上的。

② 在我们还是小女孩的时候，我们就懂得一条千真万确的道理：女人是半边天，男女都一样。那时候，这口号被我们喊在嘴里，心里只感到骄傲与豪迈；那时候，③ 这口号被我们努力地落实为行为，确实体现出了女人和男人有一样的智慧一样的能力一样的才干，什么“铁姑娘队”、“三八包车组”、“女飞行员”等等，总之，在各行各业女人们的表现绝不落后于男人；总之，④ 男人能够做到的事情女人没有办不到的；总之，⑤ 女人和男人应该而且必须并驾齐驱。“男女都一样”的口号，那么响亮地被贯彻了几十年，并组成为一种世界观，影响着我们的人生，而且，⑥ 这口号还是一种具有历史意义的标志——中国妇女解放的标志。但我不能认同。

万事万物由方方面面组成，⑦ 而那个“男女都一样”的口号，只是向女人提出要求，却没有相同的口号要求男人和女人做得一样：一样耐心持久地抚育孩子；一样任劳任怨地操持家务；一样尽心尽责地伺奉老人。仔细想想，⑧ “男女都一样”的口号曾鼓舞着许多妇女竭力地建树了和男人一样的丰功伟绩，同时，⑨ 女人却依然要做那些男人不屑一顾的事情。其实，⑩ 所谓“一样”的口号，使女人们在做着女人的同时再做男人；其实，所谓“一样”的口号，让女人们又给自己加重一挑担子；其实，女人和男人在根本上还是不一样。

To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.An aspiration is a joy for ever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.To have many of these is to be spiritually rich.Life is only a very dull and ill-directed theatre unless we have some interests in the piece;and to those who have neither art nor science, the world is a mere arrangement of colors or a rough footway where they may very well break their shins.It is in virtue of his own desires and curiosities that any man continues to exist with even patience, that he is charmed by the look of things and people, and that he wakens every morning with a renewed appetite for work and pleasure.Desire and curiosity are the two eyes through which he sees the world in the most enchanted colors: it is they that make women beautiful or fossils interesting;and the man may squander his estate and come to beggary, but if he keeps these two amulets he is still rich in the possibilities of pleasure.VI．请将下列短文翻译成英语。（20%）

1.As the west sleepwalks into a decade in which moral confidence and steadfastness will be increasingly needed and decreasingly found, and as a cry for ―leadership‖ issues from millions who probably would not recognize it if they saw it, and probably reject it if they did, John Paul II becomes more fascinating.①约翰?保罗二世之所以在西方变得越发具有魅力，并原因盖出于此。②当西方恍恍惚惚进入八十年代的时候，③千百万人迫切要求加强“领导”，而当胜任的领导出现的时候，他们却又可能视而不见，或者见到了又拒不接受。④人们的道德信念和坚韧精神日益消退，而获得这一切的希望又日趋渺茫。

2.It has been noted with concern that the stock of books in the library has been declining alarmingly.Students are asked to remind themselves of the rules for borrowing and return of books, and to bear in mind the needs of other students.Penalties for overdue books will in the future be strictly enforced.①近来已注意到本馆存书惊人地减少，②今后凡借书逾期不还者，必将严格按章处罚。③此事令人关切。④现要求学生不要忘记借书还书规则，并考虑其它同学的需要。

1.不逢北国之秋，已将近十余年了。在南方每年到了秋天，总要想起陶然亭的芦花，钓鱼台的柳影，西山的虫唱，玉泉的夜月，潭拓寺的钟声。在北平即使不出门去罢，就是在皇城人海之中，租人家一椽破屋来住着，早晨起来，泡一碗浓茶，向院子一坐，你也能看得到很高很高的碧绿的天色，听得到青天下驯鸽的飞声。从槐树叶底，朝东细数着一丝一丝漏下来的日光，或在破壁腰中，静对着像喇叭似的牵牛花（朝荣）的蓝朵，自然而然地也能够感觉到十分的秋意。说到了牵牛花，我以为蓝色或白色者为佳，紫黑色次之，淡红色最下。最好，还要在牵牛花底教长着几根疏疏落落的尖细且长的秋草，使作陪衬。

①It is more than a decade since I last saw autumn in the North.②Suppose you put up in a humble rented house inside the bustling imperial city, you can, on getting up at dawn, sit in your courtyard sipping a cup of strong tea, leisurely watch the high azure skies and listen to pigeons circling overhead.③As to morning glories, I like their blue or white flowers best, dark purple ones second best, and pink ones third best.④When I am in the south, the arrival of each autumn will put me in mind of Peiping’s Tao Ran Ting with its reed catkins, Diao Yu Tai with its shady willow trees, Western Hills with their chirping insects, Yu Quan Shan Mountain on a moonlight evening and Tan Zhe Si with its reverberating bell.⑤Saunter eastward under locust trees to closely observe streaks of sunlight filtering through their foliage, or quietly watch the trumpet-shaped blue flowers of morning glories climbing half way up a dilapidated wall, and an intense feeling of autumn will of itself well up inside you.⑥It will be most desirable to have them set off by some tall thin grass planted underneath here and there.2.文化并不限于语言那么简单，它包含了思想、感情和我认为特别重要的一环――感官反映。要知道自己的文化倾向，最准确的指标可以说是我们的直觉反应。语言固然是其中一种指标，因为没有多少人会用第二语言来表达突如其来的痛楚或快感；但同样我们也有非常明显的非语言指标，其中一项很重要的就是对食物的偏爱，特别是身体不舒服的时候想吃什么。上面所说的种种，大概可以概括地称为本能感觉。正因为这些反映完全不受我们自己或别人的希望支配和伪装，所以准确性很高。

①Culture is not just a matter of language;②few people would shout out sudden pain and pleasure in a second language.③It is our instinctive responses which invariably reveal our cultural affiliations.④Language is one obvious indicator;⑤it involves the intellect, emotion, and----to me the most important of all----our senses.⑥But there are clear non-linguistic indicators as well, one of the most important being our preferences for food, particularly when we feel unwell.⑦Since these are responses uncamouflaged by our own or other people’s manipulation and wishful thinking, they are very reliable.⑧All these can perhaps be summed up as “gut feelings”.V．请将下列短文翻译成汉语。（20分）

Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth.And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignantly, so unutterably, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? It is this: that being rich, we are so poor;that being mighty, we can yet have nothing;that seeing, breathing, smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life----the most fortunate, wealthy, good, and happy life that any man has ever known----is ours----is ours at once, immediately and forever, the moment that we choose to take a step, or stretch a hand, or say a word----we yet know that we really keep, hold, take and possess forever----nothing.All passes;nothing lasts: the moment that we put our hand upon it, it

melts away like smoke, is gone forever, and the snake is eating at our heart again;we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.(15分)

The gods, they say, give breath, and they take it away.But the same could be said----could it not?----of the humble comma.Add it to the present clause, and, of a sudden, the mind is, quite literally, given pause to think;take it out if you wish or forget it and the mind is deprived of a resting place.Yet still the comma gets no respect.It seems just a slip of a thing, a pedant’s(书呆子)tick, a blip（光点）on the edge of our consciousness, a kind of printer’s smudge（污点）almost.Small, we claim, is beautiful(especially in the age of the microchip).Yet what is so often used, and so rarely called, as the comma----unless it be breath itself?(5分)

VI．请将下列短文翻译成英语。（20分）

我的第一个先生就是我的母亲。我已经说过使我认识“爱”字的是她。在我幼儿的时候，她是我的世界的中心。她很完美地体现了一个“爱”字。她使我知道人间的温暖；她使我知道爱与被爱的幸福。她常常用温和的口气，对我解释种种的事情。她教我爱一切的人，不管他们贫与富；她教我帮助那些在困苦中需要扶持的人；她教我同情那些景遇不好的婢仆，怜恤他们，不要把自己看得比他们高，动辄将他们打骂。母亲自己也处过不少得逆境。在大家庭里作媳妇，这苦处是不难想到的。但是母亲从不曾在我眼前淌过泪，或者说过什么悲伤的话。她给我看见的是永远是温和的，带着微笑的脸。(15分)

在最近一次的金融危机中，中国坚定不移地承担了对本地区和全世界的责任，帮助避免了又一个危险的货币贬值周期。我们必须继续携手合作，对付全球金融系统面临的威胁以及对整个亚太地区本应有的发展和繁荣的威胁。

在二十一世纪，你们这一代将有极大的机会，将我们科学家、医生、工程师的各种才能结合起来，用于追求共同的发展。我们早就在一些合作领域中取得了突破，包括从医治脊柱对裂到预报恶劣天气和地震等。这些突破证明，只要我们合作，就能改变中美乃至全世界数以百万计的人的生活。扩大我们在科技领域的合作是我们给未来奉献的厚礼之一。

妈妈说：―今年我们可以做一个收获节，也请你们爹爹来尝尝我们的新花生，如何？‖我们都答应了。母亲把花生做成好几样的食品，还吩咐这节期要在园里底茅亭举行。

Behind our house there was a patch of land.―It would be a pity to let it go wild,‖ said Mother.―I suggest that since you are all so fond of peanuts you should grow some there.‖

We children and the little maidservants were all delighted.Some of us bought seeds, some dug up the plot and others watered it.In just a few months we had a harvest.Mother said, ―Let’s have a harvest festival tonight and invite your father to taste our fresh peanuts.‖
