She timidly answered, she was no goddess, but a simple maid, and was going to give him an account of herself, when Prospero interrupted her. He was well pleased to find they admired each other, for he plainly perceived they had (as we say) fallen in love at first sight: but to try Ferdinand's constancy, he resolved to throw some difficulties in their way: therefore advancing forward, he addressed the prince with a stern air, telling him, he came to the island as a spy, to take it from him who was the lord of it. " Follow me," said he," I will tie you neck and feet together. You shall drink sea-water, shell-fish, withered roots, and husks of acorns shall be your food." "No," said Ferdinand," I will resist such entertainment till I see a more powerful enemy," and drew his sword; but Prospero, waving his magic wand, fixed him to the spot where he stood, so that he had no power to move.

The Sino-Japanese Dispute

The situation which led up to the events of September 18th, 1931, presents certain special features. It was subsequently aggravated by the development of the Japanese military operations, the creation o the "Manchukuo Government" and the recognition of the "Government" by Japan. Undoubtedly the present case is not that of a country which has declared war on another country without previously exhausting the opportunities for conciliation provided in the Covenant of the League of Nations; neither is it a simple case of the violation of the frontier of one country by the armed forces of a neighboring country, because in Manchuria there are many features with out an exact parallel in other parts of the world. It is, however, indisputable that, without any declaration of war, a large part of Chinese territory has been forcibly seized and occupied by Japanese troops and that, in consequence of this operation, it has been separated from and declared independent of the rest of China.

It should be pointed out in connection with these events that, under Article 10 of the Covenant, the Members of the League underake to request the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all Members of the League.

While at the origin of the state of tension that existed before September 18th, 1931, certain responsibilities would appear to lie on one side and the other; no question of Chinese responsibility can arise for the development of events since September 18th, 1931.

——From the Report by the Special Assembly of the League of Nations.

The Beauty of the Four Seasons

Ⅱ. Translate the following passage into Chinese.

China has an ancient civilization which is now undergoing a very rapid process of change. The traditional civilization of China had developed in almost complete independence of Europe, and had merits and demerits quite different from those of the west. It would be futile to attempts to strike a balance; whether our present culture in better or worse, on the whole, than that which seventeenth century missionaries found in the Celestial Empire is a question as to which no prudent person would venture to pronounce. But it is easy to point to certain respects in which we are better than old China and to other respects in which we are worse. If intercourse between Western nations and China is to be fruitful, we must cease to regard ourselves as missionaries of a superior civilization, or, worse still as men who have a right to exploit, oppress, and swindle the Chinese because they are an " inferior" race. I do not see any reason to believe that the Chinese are inferior to ourselves; and I think most Europeans, who have any intimate knowledge of China, would take the same view. ——Bertrand Russel

The Happiness of Good Friendship

Ⅱ. Translate the following passages into Chinese.

The golden rule of my life has been moderation and not excess. I eat and drink all that I require and nothing more. When I have finished eating, I stop. When I want some more, I go on again. And I follow the same practice in regard drinking.

In my business hours I avoid fatigue. I do this by not doing too much work. When I feel that I am working too hard, I stop for a little while and read a book, or go and talk to somebody, or buy a paper at the corner. Thousands of men are living in England at the present moment who adopt this rational plan.

There should be moderation also in pleasure. Not more than half a dozen dinner-parties, dance theatres, cinemas, or ping-pong tournaments should be attended in a single week.

Sleep is another important consideration. I do not find that I keep my health if I sleep for more than fifteen hours or less than four. I am referring now to sleep at night time. During the daytime I rarely sleep except in train or for a few moments after lunch at the club.

My life, then, follows a calm, unruffled routine. I am often tempted to wonder whether any of my exact contemporaries has up to the present moment lived longer than I.

Ⅰ. Translate the following passage into Chinese.

Latin American has only been able to borrow from Europe approximately $ 200,000,000 in the whole of the last eight years since the Great War. During this period we have been able in the United States to respond to their requests in an undiminished supply to the extent of over $ 1,200,000,000, and I believe we may take it as a certainty that with the upbuilding of economic structure Latin American State will in turn at some time begin to produce that surplus which will, when converted into capital, soon relieve it of the necessity of external borrowing. In time one by one of the other, American countries will become centers for the export of capital. In other words, these periods of borrowing during the development of states are but temporary. They have no meaning of a permanent obligation levied on the people, provided always one essential principle dominates the character of these transactions; and it is this particular essential that I wish on this occasion to emphasize to you for your consideration. That is that no nation should itself, or should permit its citizens to borrow money from foreign countries and no nation should allow its citizens to lean money to foreign countries unless this money is to be devoted to productive enterprise.

Ⅱ. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.

The old conditions of travel and the new conditions of most travel of today are exactly opposite. For in old travel, as on horseback or on foot now, you saw the country while you traveled. Many of your stopping places were for rest, or because night had fallen, and you could see nothing at night. Under the old system, therefore, a wise traveler might keep moving from day to day, slowly, in deed, but seeing something all the time, and learning what the country was through which he passed by, and talking with the people. But in the new system, he is shut up with his party and a good many other parties in a tight box with glass windows and whirled on through dust if it be dusty, or rain if it be rainy, under arrangements which make it impossible to talk with the people of the country, and almost impossible to see what that country is.

法军在莫斯科城里，既没有房屋可住，又没有粮食可吃；再加大火之后，又下大雪，饿死冻死的不知多少。拿破仑只得下令退兵，到了途中，又被俄兵袭击，六十万大兵没有剩下多少。
