Time and Tide Wait for No Men

Ⅱ. Translate the following passage into Chinese.

The wise student will therefore do two things: first, he will stay as long as possible in the middle school in order to get a board and generous training in foundation subjects; second, he will take as much higher education as time and circumstances permit. By so doing he will acquaint himself more fully with many of the general fields of study—commercial, industrial, scientific, and professional. He will also train himself to think clearly and will work out through study and experience a satisfactory view of life, which will recognize spiritual as well as material values and place the emphasis where it properly belongs. His capacity for usefulness will thus be immeasurably increased. It is his education that gives him value. If education does not produce good, happy, and useful citizens, it has failed.

美国怎样奖励科学研究？

在美国几乎每天都有新的发明，从原子弹到洗衣机。美国从什么地方得来这许多科学家？自从对日战争胜利以来，很多科学研究者和科学家都复员了，而且像战前一样，鼓励科学研究的方法又立即实行了，那就是颁发奖学金、研究费等给天才的男女青年。除了各大学、学院以外，几乎所有美国大的商业组合都设有这种奖学金。在最近某电气公司发动的奖学金竞争考试中有四十个男女青年中选；他们一共得五万一千元，每人从二千四百元到四百元不等，那些钱就供给他们在大学里读书研究的。这种考试每年都有，从十五岁到十八岁的高中毕业生都可以应考，他们以任意选择自然科学中任何一科。

There seems to be a necessity to make the New Life Movement more widespread. The cities, however, appear to be doing fairly well in their attempt to carry out the principles of the Movement.

I am afraid that the intellectuals are not setting good enough examples. Take the question of frugality, they want imported cigarettes, wine, clothes, shoes, besides other luxuries.

Nor is there enough self-reproach, which I think is the starting point of all improvements. Everyone should ask himself every night whether his behavior that day came up to the standard by the New Life Movement.

There are some people who understand, and even preach the Movement, but in practice they lead a life that is nowhere near the teachings of the organization. Theorizing is not enough, things must be done.

Ⅰ. Translate the following paragraph into simple, idiomatic Chinese.

It was a pleasant surprise to find so large a city in a place that seemed to me so far away from Shanghai. From its high walls towards sunset, I could see the snowy mountains of Tibet. It had so many people that I could walk with ease only on the walls, and it took me three hours to finish that walk. There was no railway within a thousands miles and the river on which it stood was not very deep, so that only small boats could sail on it. It had taken me five days to make the trip up the Upper Yangtze River to reach this city. As I thought about that trip, I asked myself whether steamships and railway trains were necessary to the carrying on of our daily life as we who use them every day think; for here, in this very city, a million persons lived, married, gave birth to children, and died.

Ⅱ. Translate the following paragraph into English.

我们是一个老的民族。在这变动的现代世界里，我们看出一些浮面的东西，也看出一些对于人生真有意义的东西。我们不大相信进化，而且我们有点儿懒惰。我们不愿意跑在操场上去追赶一个皮球；我们宁可在杨柳岸缓步听鸟的歌和孩子们的笑。人生这样的无常，以至于一旦知道有样东西真能满足我们，我们就紧紧抓住了它，像黑暗而风暴的夜里一个母亲将她的婴孩紧贴在自己的胸前。

She used to live in those days with her parents at a small white dairy shaded by a tall, green pine tree that grew in the churchyard and we used to go on long walks together to take butter to outlying cottages. She was a small, demure, delicate creature. She reminded one of a primrose, and she was so shy that fer a long time I hesitated to tell her what I felt for her.

How I Learned my English

Ⅱ. Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.

At twenty-eight, with seven dollars in his pocket, Abraham Lincoln came to Springfield, Illinois, to set up in business as a lawyer. Springfield, at that time, had 1500 people in it. It was not the biggest town Lincoln had ever seen; but it was a big town to him.

He settled down in Springfield. He married Mary Todd—a clever, ambitious woman with a difficult temper. They had children, and he liked to play with the children—even when they scattered pens and ink all over his office. He became a well-known lawyer; and on the whole a successful one. People knew he would not plead a case unless he thought he had the right side of it. He was sent to Congress for one term, but was not re-elected. It seemed, for a while, as if he would end his days as a small-town lawyer, a local character, a teller of stories, a man of whom people said: "Well, you should have heard Abe Lincoln tell that one. "And yet, all the time, he was walking up and down the streets of Springfield, in his rusty black clothes and his battered hat where he kept his papers—driving in his light carriage over the muddy, new roads of the state—wondering, thinking, questioning, being sad, and a joking companion, and a man who made hosts of friends, and a man who was hard to make out. The people who barely knew him called him "Abe"or, even in his forties "Old Abe". His wife and his partner called him "Mr. Lincoln".

Ⅲ. Translate the following paragraphs into English.

在我们的屋子后面，有一个花园。那里有各种花卉。我们最欢喜的是玫瑰花，有红的，有黄的，有白的。果树也不少，有梅、梨、桃、樱桃、苹果、杨梅等。园子后面是一片青葱的竹子。每当花开果熟的时候，园子特别可爱。

园里的景色，最可爱的是春秋二季。但冬夏也颇不坏。夏天晚上，我们常在园子里散步、吃茶、谈天。到了冬天，下了雪，我们就到园子里掷雪球、堆雪人。我年幼时最爱玩这些，至今还留着深刻的印象。
