III.Put the following Chinese paragraphs into English.

1995年4月19日上午9时，美国俄克拉荷马城中心，“轰”的一声巨响，只见火光冲天，浓烟滚滚，响声和震动波及数十英里之外。瞬间，一座9层高大楼的1/3 墙倒顶塌，500名政府官员和职员在这里上班，许多人惨死废墟之中。

官方说，这是美国75年来最严重的一次恐怖主义制造的爆炸事件。联邦调查局当天发布紧急通缉令，并悬赏200万美元将嫌疑犯捉拿归案。

1995年8月10日, 提摩西·麦可维（McVeigh）被联邦政府指控11项罪名, 包括8项一级谋杀。10月25日,政府表示将寻求死刑。1996年2月20日和1997年6月2日, 陪审团

裁定11项罪名成立。6月13日,同一陪审团推荐死刑。2001年6月11日早晨7点14分, 提摩西·麦可维在印地安纳州被注射处死.

At nine o’clock on the morning of April 19, 1995, a huge explosion in Oklahoma city center of America could be felt and heard dozens of miles away with fire shooting into the sky and black smoke billowing. Within seconds, one third of a 9-storeyed building collapsed and among the 500 government employees working in the building, many were found dead in the debris.

The authority proclaimed this was the worst terrorist bombing since 1975. FBI immediately issued an arrest warrant and posted a 2 million reward for the information leading to the arrest of the suspects. On August 10, 1995, Timothy Mcveigh was charged with 11 counts of crime including 8 counts of first degree murder. On October 25, the prosecutors announced they would seek the dead penalty in the case. On June 2,1996, the jury returned its verdict：Mcveigh was guilty on all eleven counts. On the morning of June 11,2001, Mcveigh was executed by receiving a leathel injection in the State of Indiana.

IV.Put the following quotes into Chinese

1) All violence is not power but the absence of power.—— Emerson

暴力决不是力量的展现，而只能是无力的表示。——爱默生

2) Nothing enduring can be built on violence.—— Gandhi

任何持久的事物都不可能建立在暴力的基础上。——甘地

3) Violence is an admission that one’s ideas and goals cannot prevail on their own merits.—— Eward Kennedy

使用暴力就等于明白无误地承认你的思想和你的目标无法依赖自身的价值取胜。——爱德华·肯尼迪

4) Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.—— Mao Tse Tung

枪杆子里面出政权。——毛泽东

5) Nothing has ever been established except by the sword.—— Napoleon

剑是成功的关键。——拿破仑

Ⅴ.Translate the following passage into Chinese.

The Oklahoma City bombing trials raise questions more interesting than the answers they provide. How，in four years，can an army sergeant and Green Beret aspirant turn so violently against the government he served？If there had been no Waco (城市名) ，would there have been no Oklahoma City？Did McVeigh want to be captured？Why did the government only bring charges against three men in connection with the bombing，when compelling evidence suggests that others played significant roles in the crime？We do not have clear answers to any of these questions — but some possible answers to these and other intriguing questions have come into better focus in the years since the McV eigh and Nichols trials.

俄克拉荷马爆炸案的审判给人们提出的问题要比从中得到的答案更令人关注：

一名向往绿色贝雷帽的陆军中士为何如此激烈地转向反对其曾经服务过的政府？要是没有韦科这座城市，会有俄克拉荷马城吗？提摩西·麦可维自己是否刻意让人抓住？为何政府仅仅起诉与爆炸有关的三个人——而有力的证据显示还有其他人在罪犯犯罪过程中起到重要作用?

目前我们无法得到明确的回答。不过，自从提摩西·麦可维受审的这些年里，有些可能的答案和其它一些令人迷惑不解的问题已经成为更重要得焦点。

I believe, however, that it is not only I who am coming home; I feel that if the Chinese people could speak to you in your own tongue, or if you could understand our tongue, they would tell you that basically and fundamentally we are fighting for the same cause; that we have identity of ideals that the “four freedoms”, which your President proclaimed to the world, resound throughout our

vast land as the gong of freedom, the gong of freedom of the United Nations, and the death knell of the aggressors.

I assure you that our people are willing and eager to cooperate with you in the realization of these ideals, because we want to see to it that they do not echo as empty phrases, but become realities for ourselve s, for your children, for our children’s children, and for all mankind.

Ⅴ.Translate the following passage into Chinese.

Evening had now come, the last of Adolf Hitler’s life. He instructed Mrs. Junge, one of his secretaries, to destroy the remaining papers in his files, and he sent out word that no one in the bunker was to go to bed until further orders. This was interpreted by all as meaning that he judged the time had come to make his farewells. But it was not until long after midnight, at about 2:30 AM of April 30, as several witnesses recall, that the Fuehrer emerged from his private quarters and appeared in the general dining passage where some 20 persons, mostly the women members of his group of associates, were assembled. He walked down the line shaking hands with each and mumbling a few words that were inaudible. There was a heavy film of moisture on his eyes and, as Mrs. Junge remembered, “They seemed to be looking far away, beyond the walls of the bunker.”

夜晚已经来临，这是阿道夫·希特勒生命中最后的一个夜晚。他指示他的秘书荣格夫人将他档案里的剩余文件销毁，并传出命令，地堡里任何人不得就寝，等待下一步命令。所有的人都认为，这意味着希特勒的诀别的时刻到了。但据几个见证人回忆，直到午夜后很久，在4月30日凌晨2时30分左右，元首才步出私室，出现在用餐的大过道上。这里聚集着大约20个人，大部分是他那群同僚中的女性。他走过列队，与人们一一握手，嘴里咕哝着几句什么话，谁也听不清。他的眼睛是蒙着一层厚厚的泪水。据荣格夫人记忆，“他的眼睛像是透过地堡的墙壁，望着远方。”

III. Put the following Chinese paragraphs into English.

我笑她十年的笔耕生涯，没能磨掉敏而好动的演员气质，又不由暗暗佩服她的记忆力，为她的回忆和有真知灼见的议论所感染。渐渐，眼前娓娓而谈的作家，幻化成了她的作品，一一浮现出来。真是“文如其人”啊！一面是冷静的观察、深沉的思考，一面又含有孩提般的天真、诚挚、顽皮、严肃的题材，深刻的开掘，新鲜巧妙的艺术想像，不拘成规的语法修辞；这一切，在她的作品中熔于一炉，形成了她自己特有的风格。这正是她的作品魅力之所在。

I laughed, saying ten years of endeavour in writing had not forced out the performer in her. I could not help admiring her good memory, and being affected by her story, her broad knowledge, and penetrating insights. As she was talking loquaciously, her image before me somehow transformed into her writings. What a striking resemblance! —the style of the writing and the temperament of its creator couldn’t be better matched! It possesses both the maturity of calm observation a nd profound meditation and a child’s naivete, candor, and quick wit. Her unique style also lies in the combination of serious themes, thorough-going analysis, novel and ingenious imagination and unconventional wording — all contribute to the charm of her works.

IV. Put the following quotes into Chinese.

1) Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.——Bacon

读书使人充实；讨论使人机智；笔记使人准确。——培根

2) One hates an author that’s all author.——Byron

没人会欣赏编造雷同故事的作家。——拜伦

3) A writer is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer.——Karl Kraus

作家善于出谜语。——卡尔·克劳斯

4) Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.——William Wordsworth

用你的心灵进行创作。——威廉·华兹华斯

5) Writing is both mask and unveiling.——E.B. White

创作是隐藏真相和揭示真相的过程。——怀特

Ⅴ. Translate the following passage into Chinese.

The writer must find a technique that will let him describe anybody, anything, any situation — a technique that will permit him to use all his experience of living, tragic, comic, embarrassing, cruel, beautiful.

Few writers are born with this technique. They must search until they find it. Actually it is a little difficult to separate the technique of writing from the technique of living — which is another way of saying the style is the man. I have no patience with that view of writing, which looks on style and techniques of writing as a trick.

Writing is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind him.

However, I happen to think a writer’s life is the most privileged there is in our society. It is a life exciting, varied. If success comes, it is a life that lends itself to expansion both materially and spiritually.

作家必须找到一种描写人物、事物和情况的技巧，可以记录他所有的生活体验——或悲伤，或喜悦，或尴尬，或残忍，或美好。

很少有作家生而有之。他们必须努力挖掘才能找到这一技巧。事实上，要区分写作技巧和生活技巧有些困难，也就是说文如其人。我并不认同这种创作观点，因为它认为写作风格和技巧是一种策略。

写作和生活密不可分。写作是一种重复的生活。作家有两次相同的体验：一次是在现实生活中，而另一次则是在忠实反映他过去或者将来的生活体验的创作中。

然而，我恰好认为作家的生活是社会中最为优越的生活。它既激动人心又丰富多彩。如果作品获得了成功，作家的物质生活和精神生活就双丰收了。
