：码号 证题考准写 要 不 内 线 封 密 ：业专考报 ：名姓Part One Translation 50% (75points) I. Translate the following into Chinese. (40 points, 8 points for each item) 1) All experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 2) It is almost impossible to believe that Einstein developed general relativity from the mere observation that a falling body is weightless and a requirement that the laws of physics appear the same to all observers. 3) To be an authentic person, in any age, means in some way to surmount （超越）the age and stand for the kind of order that permits and encourages graceful change. 4) For any trend, there are as many reasons as there are participants. This person runs to lower his blood pressure. That person runs to avoid doing anything else, to dodge（躲避） a decision about how to lead his life or a realization that his life is leading nowhere. 5) The “hate stare” came from a middle-aged, heavy-set, well addressed white man. He sat a few yards away, fixing his eyes on me. Nothing can describe the withering horror of this. You feel lost, sick at heart before such unmasked hatred, not so much because it threatens you as because it shows humans in such an inhuman light. You see a kind of insanity, something so obscene, the very obscenity of it terrifies you. 第 1 页 共 9 页

Part One Translation 50% (75points) I. Translate the following into Chinese. (40 points, 8 points for each item) 6) All experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 过去的一切经验也正表明，任何苦难只要还能忍受，人类都宁愿忍受下去，而不愿意废除他们久已习惯的政府以恢复自己的权益。 7) It is almost impossible to believe that Einstein developed general relativity from the mere observation that a falling body is weightless and a requirement that the laws of physics appear the same to all observers. 爱因斯坦仅仅凭借对落体失重的观察以及物理学定律对所有观察者都一样的前提，就建立了广义相对论，这几乎是不可置信的。 8) To be an authentic person, in any age, means in some way to surmount the age and stand for the kind of order that permits and encourages graceful change. 无论在哪个年代，要做一个真诚可靠的人，在一定意义上意味着，他要超越那个时代，支持那种允许并鼓励美好变革的秩序。 9) For any trend, there are as many reasons as there are participants. This person runs to lower his blood pressure. That person runs to avoid doing anything else, to dodge a decision about how to lead his life or a realization that his life is leading nowhere. 不管什么时尚，有多少人跟着赶时髦，就有多少种理由。这个人跑步是为了降血压，那个人跑步则是为了避免做别的事，不对如何生活做出决定，不感受自己生活碌碌无为。 10) The “hate stare” came from a middle-aged, heavy-set, well addressed white man. He sat a few yards away, fixing his eyes on me. Nothing can describe the withering horror of this. You feel lost, sick at heart before such unmasked hatred, not so much because it threatens you as because it shows humans in such an inhuman light. You see a kind of insanity, something so obscene, the very obscenity of it terrifies you. “仇恨的白眼”来自一个身材矮胖、衣着讲究的中年白种男子。他就坐在几码开外，两眼死死地盯着我。那目光真令人发怵，恐怖之状简直无法形容。面对这毫不掩饰的仇恨，你会感到不知所措，不胜伤心，这倒不是因为它威胁了你，而是因为你从中看到了人类居然如此缺乏人性。你看到了一种疯狂，一种令人作呕的疯狂，正是这种令人作呕使你感到惶恐不安。 第 5 页 共 9 页
