Part III. Translation (3 x 10=30 Points)

Section A:Translate the following into Chinese and write your version on ANSWER SHEET II.

Passage 1.

Europe’s new economic climate has largely fostered the trend toward independence. The current generation of home-aloners came of age during Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American-style capitalism. Raised in an era of privatization and increased consumer choice, today’s tech-savvy workers have embraced a free market in love as well as economics. Modern Europeans are

rich enough to afford to live alone, and temperamentally independent enough to want to do so. A recent poll by the Institute Francais d’Opinion Publique, th e French affiliate of the Gallup poll, found that 58 percent of French respondents viewed living alone as a choice, not an obligation. Other European singles agree. “I’ve always wanted to be free to go on adventures,” says Iris Eppendorf, who lives by herself in Berlin. “I hate dreary, boring, bourgeois living —it’s not interesting.”

Passage 2.

Anthropologists人类学家do not know why one culture develops one type of time-space perception and another culture develops another type. Spatial perceptions may be adaptations to specific environments: the degree of population density; the amount of arable land; the absence or existence of natural barriers such as the sea or mountains; the amount of distinguishing landmarks in a region. For instance, among some Eskimo peoples, whose environment is a vast snow plain with few landmarks visible for most of the year, spatial perception is highly developed. The Eskimos must learn to make careful distinctions among different spatial elements, as their lives may literally depend on these distinctions when they are hunting far from home.

和平与发展是当今世界的两大主题。维护世界和平,加强友好合作,促进共同发展是各国人民的共同愿望。当前,贫困、失业、难民、犯罪、人口膨胀、环境恶化、毒品泛滥、恐怖主义等问题仍然严峻,影响着全球的稳定与发展。中国与西方国家虽然国情不同,但在一系列重大国际问题上具有广泛一致的利益。我对中国同西方各国的关系的改善与发展感到高兴。中国政府和人民愿在相互信任和平等互利的基础上,同包括西方国家在内的世界各国政府和人民一道,为和平与发展的崇高事业做出贡献。

At present, the problems of poverty, unemployment, refugees, crime, population expansion, environmental degradation, drug abuse, terrorism is still severe, affecting the stability and development of the world.
