for the real disorders and agitations of the passion. When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in parison of those in which our original per ___ptions were clothed. It requires no ni ___ dis ___r ___ent or metaphysical head to ___rk the distinction between them. Here therefore we ___y divide all the per ___ptions of the mind into two classes or species, which are distinguished by their different degrees of for ___ and vivacity. The less forcible and lively are monly denominated thoughts or ideas. 43) Let us, therefore, use a little free- dom, and call them impressions; employing that word in a sense somewhat different from the usual. 44) And impressions are distinguished from ideas, which are the less lively per ___ptions, of which we are conscious, when we reflect on any of those sensations or movements above mentioned. Nothing, at first view, ___y seem more unbounded than the thought of ___n, which not only escapes all hu ___n power and authority,but is not even restrained within the limits of nature and reality. To form monsters, and join
incongruous shapes and appearan ___s, costs the i ___gination no more trouble than to con ___ive the most natural and familiar objects. 45) . What never was seen, or heard of, ___y yet be con ___ived; nor is any thing beyond the power of thought, ex ___pt what implies an absolute contradiction.
[A] A ___n in a fit of anger, is actuated in a very different ___nner from one who only thinks of that emotion. [B]But though our thought seems to possess this unbounded liberty, we shall find, upon a nearer examination, that it is really confined within very narrow limits, and that all this creative power of the mind amounts to no more than the faculty of pounding, transposing, augmenting, or diminishing the ___terials afforded us by the senses and experien ___. [C]But, ex ___pt the mind be disordered by disease or ___dness, they never can arrive at such a pitch of vivacity, as to render these per ___ptions altogether undistinguishable. [D]The other species want a name in our language, and i ___ost others; I suppose, because it was not requisite for any, but philosophical purposes, to rank them under a general term or appel lation. [E] And while
the body is confined to one pla, along which it creeps with pain and difficulty; the thought can in an instant transport us into the ___st distant regions of the universe; or even beyond the universe, into the unbounded ___s, where nature is supposed to lie in total confusion. [F] By the term impression, then, I mean all our more lively per ___ptions, when we hear, or see, or feel, or love, or hate, or desire, or will. [G] In short, all the ___terials of thinking are derived either from our outward or inward senti ment: the mixture and position of these belongs alone to the mind and will. Or, to express myself in philosophical language, all our ideas or more feeble per ___ptions are copies of our impressions or more lively ones. PartC Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.10 points) Man first appeared on earth half a million years ago. Then he was little more than an ani ___l; but early ___n had several big advantages over the ani ___ls. He had a large brain, he had an upright body, he had clever hands; and he had in his brain special groups of nerve ___lls, not present in ani ___ls, that enabled him to
