如果人们想通过“不合时的死亡”这个词表达什么的话，他们肯定相信有些死亡要比另一些死亡来得合时一些。老年时逝去很少被称为是不合时的――长命百岁被认为是完整的生命。但如果是一个年轻人逝去，人们会设想大好年华还在后面，还不能对生命做出评价。

历史当然会否认这种观点。在那些英年早逝的人当中，人们会想起玛丽莲·梦露，詹姆斯·迪恩斯。他们的生命看起来既短暂又完整。作家们难以接受诗人济慈26岁即逝去的事实，只能半开玩笑地认为他们自己26岁还一事无成。那种认为中断的生命是不完整的想法是不合逻辑的，因为生命的价值是由他们留给世界的影响及其成就与美德来衡量的。

Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. They develop a style that agents market agressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there. Artists cannot remain idle, though. When the performer , painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public. After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month. Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing, run a

significant risk of losing the audience’s favor. The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famous.

III. Translate the following passage into Chinese.

It’s a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and happiness it had earlier denied him. In Oona O’Neill Chaplin, he found a partner whose stability and affection spanned the 37 years age difference between them, which had seemed so threatening that when the official who was marrying them in 1942 turned to the beautiful girl of 17 who’d given notice of their wedding date, he said, “And where is the young man?” --- Chaplin, then 54, had cautiously waited outside. As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was well prepared for the battle that Chaplin’s life became as many unfounded rumors surrounded them both --- and, later on, she was the center of calm in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in his own large family of talented children.

与俄罗斯相比，在未来是10年中，中国大陆计划对通信设备投入1,000亿美元。从某种意义上说，中国的落后成了一种有利因素，因为这一发展正好发生在新技术比铜线电缆系统更便宜的时候。到1995年底，中国除了拉萨以外的省会都将有数字转换器和高容量的光纤电缆网，这意味着其主要城市正在具备必须的基础设施，成为信息高速公路的主要部分，是人们能够进入系统，获得最先进的服务。电信工程也是上海实现其成为一流的金融中心这一梦想的关键。为了能给国际投资者提供其所期望的电子数据和无纸化交易方面的出色服务，上海计划建设与曼哈顿同样强大的电信网络。
