密西西比河上夏天的日出

马克·吐温

密西西比河上夏天的日出真是百看不厌，令人神往。日出之前，万籁俱寂，静谧之趣笼罩四野，远离尘嚣的空灵之感不禁油然而生。曙色悄分，郁郁森森的树木绰约朦胧；泱泱涣涣的密西西比河依稀可辨；河面上水波不兴，白雾袅袅，萦纡迷幻；风闲而枝静，恬谧深沉，令人心旷神怡。晨光熹微，一鸟唱而百鸟和，继之，众鸟引吭，高歌一曲欢乐的颂歌。只闻其声而不见其鸟，人仿佛就悠游在天籁的妙趣之中。

等到昕昀烁夜，展现在眼前的便是一幅至柔至美的画卷：身前身后的树木枝繁叶茂，堆绿叠翠，浓黛浅消。放眼望去，一英里开外有一个河岬，河岬上的树木淡妆轻抹，仿佛春天般的娇嫩；远处的和岬则树色隐隐，微茫难辨；地平线尽头的河岬似乎枕在水面上，像一团迷蒙蒸腾的雾，融入浩渺的水天之中。广阔的河面好似一面巨大的镜子，淡淡地映照着丛集的枝叶、曲折的河岸和渐行渐远的河岬，勾勒出一幅生动的画面，轻柔婉转，超逸绵邈。太阳慢慢爬上天空，或浅红横涂，或金粉竖抹，或紫霭慢洒，奇异曼妙，难以言传。这一切，怎能不令人怀想？

We all know that supply of provisions and clothing is only one aspect of life.This is especially true of old folks.Like young people, they have the need of cultural life, the need of recreation and amusement, the need of dignity and the need of accomplishment.They want to, in their remaining years, make their lives easier and more substantial.One day, I strolled into an old curiosity shop where I browsed the antiques on display.As I walked further into the store, I found, to my great surprise, that the cashier behind the register turned out to be an old woman.I can never understand what has driven this old woman to join the rank of wage earners at an age when she should take life easy and enjoy the few days she had left with her.All I know is that I could tell at first sight she apparently enjoyed what she was doing, and was competent for the job.Her concentration of mind, her skillful handling of the cash register and her faint, naive yet somewhat facetious smile from behind her toothless mouth after the settlement of each account was simply amusing.Somehow I halted beside her.Only then did I discover in what perfect harmony the old woman behind the cashier's register was with the antique shop.It can very well be a trick employed to attract customers.With many questions unasked I left that store, for somehow I was convinced there must be something intriguing between this old woman and the old curiosity shop.How I wish I could hear it all!

奥黛丽·赫本——一个优雅高尚的人

母亲虽从未笃信过任何正统的宗教，但她自有其终生不渝的信仰：她相信爱，相信自然的神奇，相信生活的美好。一旦有机会降临，她总会珍视这二度生活的机遇；这一点特别表现在她垂暮之年还在为联合国儿童基金会工作。

尽管生活的磨砺慢慢使我们如同披枷戴锁，但有时一次濒死的经历就足以让我们从这些枷锁中解脱出来。我们逐渐认识到什么东西值得孜孜以求，什么不值。虽然她不记得童年濒死的经历，但对于濒死的认识，一旦种植在她那天性谦让的肥沃的土地上，便扎下了谦卑的根须，这根须美化了她整个人生。

我从未听她说“这是我做的”或“那是我干的。”在为联合国儿童基金会工作的那些年里，直到她生命的尽头，正如大家所听到的，我时常听她说：“我能做的太少。”我从未听她说过她对自己的任何表演或工作表现感到满意。当人们赞美她时，她总是避之惟恐不速；最终，她会解释说，她的成功其实全仗她周围人的努力。

贝茜·安德森·斯坦利写道，“若能笑口常开，若能赢得文化人的尊敬和孩子的喜爱，若能赢得诚实的批评家的赞赏并承受虚朋假友的背叛，若能欣赏美，若能发现他人的长处，若能使世界变好一点（不管是使某个孩子健康、修整某一片花园、还是改良社会状况），甚至若能得知因为你的存在而使某一个人呼吸得更舒畅，这都是成功。”按斯坦利女士的标准，我母亲的一生就是成功的一生：良好的抉择使她受益匪浅。她所做的第一个选择是她的职业，然后她选择了她的家庭。当她的孩子们已长大成人，并开始自己的生活后，她又选择了世上不幸的孩子。她选择了奉献。她的整个生活曾深受创伤——积久的创伤——的影响，而她这个重要的选择正是理解和愈合这创伤的灵丹妙药。

她的选择抚平了一个小女孩心灵的伤痕。这个小女孩在大半生中不知道自己的父亲是谁，尽管她渴望温暖的拥抱，渴望确切地知道自己被爱，确切地知道自己的价值。当我回顾过去，发现母亲给鲁卡和我的正是这种东西：我们确信自己被爱，确信自己的价值。这就是最重要的精华所在，是永远生长发育在你身心内的根源。她，确实是一个了不起的母亲，一个了不起的朋友。

Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit

Although she was never an ardent follower of any formal religion, my mother’s own faith endured throughout her life: her faith in love, her faith in the miracle of nature, and her faith in the goodness of life.She honored this second chance at life at every opportunity that presented itself and most of all at the end of her life, through her work for UNICEF.Sometimes a near-death experience can free us of the shackles that life slowly trains us to wear.We come to realize what’s worth the sweat and what isn’t.Although she had no memory of her childhood near-death experience, the knowledge of it, coupled with the fertile ground of an already self-effacing nature, were the roots of the humility that graced her entire life.I never heard her say, “I did this,” or “I’ve done that.” Toward the end of her life, throughout the UNICEF years, I would hear her say regularly, as the world listened to her, “I can do very little.” I never heard her say that she liked any of her performances.When people complimented her, she would always shy away and ultimately explain how those who surrounded her were the reason for her success.Bessie Anderson Stanley wrote, “To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded.”

By Ms.Stanley’s standards, my mother’s life was a success: She was graced with good choices.The first choice she made was her career.Then she chose her family.And when we, her children, were grown and had started our lives, she chose the less fortunate children of the world.She chose to give back.In that important choice lay the key to healing and understanding something that had affected her throughout her entire life: the sadness that had always been there.Her choices healed the sadness of a little girl who didn’t know her father for most of her life and yet who yearned and longed for that warm embrace, that reassurance that you are loved and that you matter.When I look back, that is just what she gave to Luca and me: the reassurance that we were loved and that we mattered.This was the most valuable essence, the roots that live and grow forever inside you.She truly was a wonderful mother and friend.二、将下列短文译成英语（50分）: 2008年5月12日14时28分，我国发生了震惊世界的四川汶川特大地震，受灾地区人民生命财产和经济社会发展蒙受巨大损失。面对空前惨烈的灾难，在党中央、国务院和中央军委坚强领导下，全党全军全国各族人民众志成城、迎难而上，以惊人的意志、勇气、力量，组织开展了我国历史上救援速度最快、动员范围最广、投入力量最大的抗震救灾斗争，最大限度地挽救了受灾群众生命，最大限度地减低了灾害造成的损失，夺取了抗震救灾斗争重大胜利，表现出泰山压顶不弯腰的大无畏气概，谱写了感天动地的英雄凯歌。

美国父母真的那么糟糕吗？

作者：杰布里姬

前不久，美国的父母们有了和“虎妈”一样的焦虑。我们是否以提高孩子的自尊的名义而过分褒奖了他们呢？不逼迫他们进行无休止的小提琴训练，不撕碎他们制作的不是那么完美的生日卡片，就会使孩子们失去到名常春藤盟校就读的机会吗？就像蔡美儿在她的畅销回忆录《虎妈的战歌》中所写，我们是不是在养育“软弱”而“享有特权”的孩子呢？

然而，法国的父母们却完全没有这种忧虑。与蔡女士的书一样，记者帕梅拉·德鲁克曼最近发行的《养育宝宝》很是畅销。书中高度赞扬了法国父母的“智慧”——他们爱孩子，但却不像美国父母那样总是以孩子为中心。另一本名为《爱斯基摩人如何为孩子保暖》的新书则对不同的养育方式进行了比较，其中称赞了阿根廷人在特殊情况下会让孩子熬夜，以及日本人教育孩子们彼此要一决高下的做法。

这些对外国家长养育子女方式的热捧引出一个问题：美国父母真的有那么差劲吗？

显而不是。我们当然爱自己的孩子，并希望他们能得到最好的。问题是，我们并不确定，在我们这个充满了紧迫感、以成败论英雄的国家里什么才是最好的。或许，美国父母会更加关注的，不是国外最新潮流，不是各种国际测试成绩排名，而是一个非常美式的想法：追求幸福。

那些刻板的美式教育方法随处可见：蹒跚学步时，父母会准备好随时冲过去，以保护孩子不会跌倒；在认知阶段，父母会担心孩子不能顺利通过皮亚杰所说的四个认知发展阶段；稍长大后，他们不会放过孩子显露天赋的任何蛛丝马迹；到了二年级，孩子做个提康德罗加城堡的木棍立体模型，父母熬夜也要帮着完善；等到了中学，就会带着他们去各种足球、小提琴、芭蕾舞或者击剑的兴趣班；进入高中，竟用网上的等级书籍来检测孩子的学习情况；到大学后，还要打电话给教授询问孩子的详细情况；而最近NPR的一个报道指出，现在竟有家长替孩子递交简历，陪孩子参加求职面试，甚至要求设立一个“带父母去上班日”。

研究人员发现，整体上，美国父母确实花了比其他发达国家的父母多得多的时间来陪他们的孩子，（如果说是法国的父亲，单从时间的分配上看,你或许会认 翻译比赛（非专业组）

为他们没有孩子）。现在，全美国在外工作的妈妈们大概有四分之三（她们大多做的是全职工作）陪孩子的时间比20世纪60年代的全职妈妈还要多。她们牺牲了睡眠时间、放弃了个人护理、挤出做家务的时间以及任何一丁点儿的个人闲暇时间。他们的“休闲时间”主要还是花在孩子身上。然而调查显示，尽管这样，美国父母们仍然担心他们的关心不够。最新研究表明,那令人窒息的时间压力问题正日渐困扰着美国年轻的父亲们。和美**亲一样，他们必须在高要求的工作和高标准的父亲角色之间做好平衡。

一件小事（节选）鲁 迅 我从乡下跑到京城里，一转眼已经六年了。其间耳闻目睹的所谓国家大事，算起来也很不少；但在我心里，都不留什么痕

迹，倘要我寻出这些事的影响来说，便只是增长了我的坏脾气，——老实说，便是教我一天比一天的看不起人。

但有一件小事，却于我有意义，将我从坏脾气里拖开，使我至今忘记不得。

这是民国六年的冬天，大北风刮得正猛，我因为生计关系，不得不一早在路上走。一路几乎遇不见人，好容易才雇定了一辆人力车，叫他拉到S门去。不一会，北风小了，路上浮尘早已刮净，剩下一条洁白的大道来，车夫也跑得更快。刚近S门，忽而车把上带着一个人，慢慢地倒了。

跌倒的是一个女人，花白头发，衣服都很破烂。伊从马路上突然向车前横截过来；车夫已经让开道，但伊的破棉背心没有上扣，微风吹着，向外展开，所以终于兜着车把。幸而车夫早有点停步，否则伊定要栽一个大筋斗，跌到头破血出了。伊伏在地上；车夫便也立住脚。我料定这老女人并没有伤，又没有别人看见，便很怪他多事，要自己惹出是非，也误了我的路。我便对他说，“没有什么的。走你的罢！”

车夫毫不理会，——或者并没有听到，——却放下车子，扶那老女人慢慢起来，搀着臂膊立定，问伊说： “你怎么啦？” “我摔坏了。”

我想，我眼见你慢慢倒地，怎么会摔坏呢，装腔作势罢了，这真可憎恶。车夫多事，也正是自讨苦吃，现在你自己想法去。车夫听了这老女人的话，却毫不踌躇，仍然搀着伊的臂膊，便一步一步的向前走。我有些诧异，忙看前面，是一所巡警分驻所，大风之后，外面也不见人。这车夫扶着那老女人，便正是向那大门走去。

我这时突然感到一种异样的感觉，觉得他满身灰尘的后影，刹时高大了，而且愈走愈大，须仰视才见。而且他对于我，渐渐的

又几乎变成一种威压，甚而至于要榨出皮袍下面藏着的“小”来。

第一部分：英译汉（50分）伦敦神游（节选）弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫

恐怕从未有人曾经热切地想要一支铅心笔，但有时候这种欲望会变得压倒一切。那是在下午茶之后、晚饭之前，我们会一心要买一件东西，其实是找借口在此期间游逛半个伦敦。猎人猎狐以保持狐狸的品种，球手打高尔夫以阻止建筑商侵占空地。同样，当我们心血来潮想去街上闲逛时，铅笔就可以作为借口。所以，我们站起身说：“真的，我必须买支铅笔。”好像

有了这个借口，我们就可以放心去尽情享受冬天城市生活最大的乐趣—在伦敦逛街。

伦敦的街道是多么美丽啊！有灯光的岛屿，有一团团幽暗的阴影，可能在其中一侧还有树木错落的茵茵草地，夜在草地上舒展开，将大地罩入夜的睡乡；越过铁栅栏，你还可以听到树枝树叶摇曳发出轻微的窸窣声，衬出周围田野的一片寂静，还有一只猫头鹰的枭叫，远处山谷火车经过的咔嚓声。但我们旋即想起这是伦敦。光秃秃的的大树上方，高高悬挂着黄里透红的方形方框—是窗户；点点亮光不动不灭好像低垂的星星—是路灯；这片让人感觉如乡村一样恬静的空旷地只是伦敦的一个广场，四周布满了办公楼与家居。此时此刻，要么楼里刺眼的灯光正照耀着地图，照耀着文件，照耀着办公桌，桌前办事员正沾湿了食指，翻阅着无穷无尽信件

往来的文件夹；要么在一个客厅，壁炉的火光闪烁着，路灯的灯光窥射进来，光线在这个隐私空间弥漫，映照出扶手椅、书信、瓷器、嵌花桌子，还有一个女人的身影，她一匙匙准确地量着茶水，算出准确的数字；这茶—她望着门，好像听到楼下门铃声，听到有人问，她在吗？

He paid no attentionbut set down the shafts, took the old woman's arm and gently helped her up.“Are you all right?” he asked.“I hurt myself falling.”

I thought: I saw how slowly you fell, how could you be hurt? Putting on an act like this is simply disgusting.The rickshaw man asked for trouble, and now he’s got it.He’ll have to find his own way out.But the rickshaw man did not hesitate for a minute after hearing the old woman's answer.Still holding her arm, he helped her slowly forward.Rather puzzled by his I looked ahead and saw a police-station.Because of the high wind, there was no one outside.It was there that the rickshaw man was taking the old woman.Suddenly I had the strange sensation that his dusty retreating figure had in that instant grown larger.Indeed, the further he walked the larger he loomed, until I had to look up to him.At the same time he seemed gradually to be exerting a pressure on me which threatened to overpower the small self hidden under my fur-lined gown.江西省第二届英语翻译大赛决赛特等奖（第一名）获奖作品选登 一件小事（节选）鲁 迅

A Small Incident(Excerpt)Lu Xun It has been six years since I came to the capital from the country.The so-called affairs of state during that time which I had seen or heard about did amount to many, albeit with no visible trace left in my heart.Speaking of their influence on me, they only exacerbated my ill temper.To be honest, they made me more and more ignorant of others day by day.5 One small incident, however, which bore great significance to me, dragged me out of my ill temper and remains forever in my memory.It was a winter in the sixth year of the Republic of China, the north wind was blowing violently.For the sake of making a living, I had to go out early when there was barely a person in sight on the road.Finally I managed to hire a rickshaw and told him to go towards the door S.Soon the wind blew less fiercely, while dust on the road was swept clean, leaving a smooth road ahead.So the rickshaw man ran faster.As we were approaching the door S, all of a sudden, a person ran into our rickshaw and gradually fell down.It was a grey-haired woman, dressed in ragged clothes.She suddenly walked towards us from the roadside.Though the rickshaw man had gone out of her way, her ragged waistcoat was unbuttoned, which stretched out in the wind and caught on the handle bar.Fortunately, the rickshaw man had taken early action, otherwise the old lady would certainly fell down and get seriously hurt.She was lying there.The rickshaw man stopped.I was sure that she was not hurt and there was no witness then, so I complained of his being so “helpful”.If he had made a fuss, it would have wasted my time as well.So I said to him: “It’s no big deal.Let’s go.”

Totally regardless of my words,(or simply not having heard it,)he let go of the rickshaw, and help

ed the woman stand on her feet.Holding her arm, he asked: “Are you OK?” “Not well.”

I watched her slowly falling down, how could she possibly get hurt? “She is pretending!” I thought to myself, “How contemptible it is!” The rickshaw man was being so “helpful” that he was troubling the trouble.I would leave him alone.Upon hearing the woman’s words, the rickshaw man made no hesitation.He was still holding her arm and they walked ahead step by step.Feeling a bit confused, I looked ahead.There was a patrolling police station, where nobody was outside in such a violent wind.The two were moving towards that place, surely.At that moment, a strange sensation seized me: his dusty figure suddenly became mighty.The further they walked, the mightier it seemed.In the end I had to look up to him.What he meant to me gradually became a pressure, a kind of pressure massive enough to overshadow “the little myself” beneath the garments.Street Haunting: A London Adventure(Excerpt)Virginia Woolf

No one perhaps has ever felt passionately towards a lead pencil.But there are circumstances in which it can become supremely desirable to possess one;moments when we are set upon having an object, an excuse for walking half across London between tea and dinner.As the foxhunter hunts in order to preserve the breed of foxes, and the golfer plays in order that open spaces may be preserved from the builders, so when the desire comes upon us to go street rambling the pencil does for a pretext, and getting up we say: “Really I must buy a pencil,” as if under cover of this excuse we could indulge safely in the greatest pleasure of town life in winter — rambling the streets of London.How beautiful a London street is then, with its islands of light, and its long groves of darkness, and on one side of it perhaps some tree-sprinkled, grass-grown space where night is folding herself to sleep naturally and, as one passes the iron railing, one hears those little cracklings and stirrings of leaf and twig which seem to suppose the silence of fields all round them, an owl hooting, and far away the rattle of a train in the valley.But this is London, we are reminded;high among the bare trees are hung oblong frames of reddish yellow light — windows;there are points of brilliance burning steadily like low stars — lamps;this empty ground, which holds the country in it and its peace, is only a London square, set about by offices and houses where at this hour fierce lights burn over maps, over documents, over desks where clerks sit turning with wetted forefinger the files of endless correspondences;or more suffusedly the firelight wavers and the lamplight falls upon the privacy of some drawing-room, its easy chairs, its papers, its china, its inlaid table, and the figure of a woman, accurately measuring out the precise number of spoons of tea which —— She looks at the door as if she heard a ring downstairs and somebody asking, is she in?

漫步街区：一次伦敦之旅（节选）弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫

或许不曾有人对一支铅笔求之不得欣喜不已，但是我们却总有占有某物的欲望之火熊熊燃烧的时候，我们却总有决心得到一个物品，以作为我们茶余饭后漫步伦敦的借口的时候。正如猎狐者为了狐狸生生不息的繁衍而打猎，正如高尔夫球运动者为了保护广阔空旷的土地免遭建设者的蹂躏而打球一样。当漫步街区的欲望不期而至，买铅笔只不过是一个借口罢了。于是我们起身立之，喃喃自语道：“我确实必须要去买一支铅笔。”似乎在这冠冕堂皇的借口之下，我们可以尽情地沉溺在冬日城镇生活的愉悦惬意中——闲庭漫步于伦敦街区。

伦敦街区的景色真是美不胜收啊！光芒温柔地照耀在岛屿上，悠长的小树丛安静地隐没在黑暗中。街道一旁几颗树木零星地生长着，周围草木丛生绿意盎然。夜幕在这里静静地降临，双手合抱，安然入睡。当你路过铁轨旁的时候，你可以听到那细碎的哐啷声，伴着风中枝叶的摇摆声声作响，宛如田野的静谧般扑面而来。一只猫头鹰声声呼唤，远处一辆火车缓缓驶过，在山谷中格格作响，久久回荡。但是我们一次次的被提醒，这里是伦敦啊！那高悬于稀疏的树木之间，放射着浅红微黄光芒的方形框架——只不过是窗户罢了；那些宛如低空星辰般耀眼夺目、异彩纷呈的光点——只不过是电灯罢了；那默默承载着伦敦、展现着她的静穆的空旷大地——只不过是伦敦广场罢了。鳞次栉比的办公室和房屋在此拔地而起。此时此刻，强烈的灯光正照耀着各式各样的地图，照耀着纷至沓来的文件，照耀着一张张桌子，桌旁的小职员们正用湿漉漉的手指书写着无穷无尽的信件。那闪烁的灯光肆无忌惮地弥漫在某间画室里，照亮了那简陋的椅子，厚厚的纸张，精美的瓷器，嵌饰的桌子，也照亮了一个女子的身影，她正精确地量着茶叶的匙数——而此时她朝门望去，仿佛听到楼下传来一阵铃声，一个人正轻声问道：“她在吗？”
