2006年：

英译汉：

I have nothing to offer but blood，toil，tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal ofthe most grievous kind. We have before us many，many months of struggle and suffering. Y ou ask，what is our aim？I can answer in one word，it is victory. V ictory at all costsvictory in spiteof all terrors——victory，however long and hard the road may be，for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized，no survival for the British Empire，no survival for all that British Empire has stood for ，no survival for the urge，the impulse of the ages，that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture，at this time，to claim the aid of all and to say，“Come then，let us go forward together with our unitedstrength.

我能奉献的唯有热血、辛劳、泪水和汗水。我们所面临的将是一场极为残酷的考验，我们面临的将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。你若问我们的目标是什么？我可以用一个词来概括，那就是胜利。不惜一切代价去夺取胜利，不畏惧一切恐怖去夺取胜利，不论前路再长再苦也要多去胜利，因为没有胜利纠无法生存！我们必须意识到，没有胜利就没有大英帝国，没有胜利就没有大英帝国所象征的一切，没有胜利就没有多少世纪以来强烈的要求和冲动：人类应当向自己的目标迈进。此刻，我的精神振奋，满怀信心地承当起自己的人物。我确信，只要我们大家联合，我们的事业就不会挫败。此时此刻千钧一发之际，我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要呼吁：“来吧，让我们群策努力，并肩迈进！”

汉译英：

中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切，在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占有比例较为恰当的地位，而非绝对统治万物的主宰。因此我们的苦闷基本上比西方人为少为小：因为苦闷的强弱原是随欲望与野心的大小而转移的。农业社会的人比工业社会的人享受差得多，因此欲望也小的多。何况中国古代素来以不怠于物不为物役为最主要的人生哲学。

Chinese people has never thought of human being as the highest creature among everything since ancient times，whose reflection takes a quite appropriate proportion with all others in our natural world in both aspects of philosophy and arts，but not as an absolute dominant ruler. Therefore，our bitterness and depression are basically less than those of westerners，because the intensity of which is growing with the expansion of one's desire and ambition. People in the agriculture society enjoyed far less than people in the industry society，thus their wants are far less either. Besides，ancient Chinese always regard "not confined by material，not driven by material" as the major philosophy.

英译汉：

But ，as has been true in many other cases，when they were at last married ，the most ideal of

situations was found to have been changed to the most practical . instead of hacing shared their original duties，and as schol –boys would say，going halves，they discovered that the cares of life had been doubled.This led to some distressing moments for both our friends；they understood suddenlu that instead of dwelling in heaven they were still upon earth ，and had made themselves slaves to new laws and limitations. Instead of being freer and happier than ever before，they had assumed new responsibilities；they had established a new household，and must fulfill in some way or another the obligations of it. They looked back with affection to their engagement；they had been longing to have each other to themselves，apart from the world，but it seemed that they never felt so keenly that they were still units in modern society.

本文选自朱厄特的文章《新生活》The New Life by Sarah Jewett

参考答案：但是正如其他许多已经发生过的事情一样，当他们最终结婚后，发现最憧憬的生活变得再实际不过了。他们非但没有分担各自原先的责任——正如那些学生们所说"一半一半"，相反却发现生活的重担加倍了。这使得我们那两个结婚的朋友时常觉得沮丧；他们突然发现自己并没有过着天堂般的生活而是仍实实在在地生活在地球上，而且成为了新规则和新约束的奴隶。生活并没有比以前更自由、更幸福，因为他们要去承担新的责任。既然成立了一个新的家庭，那就无论如何也要尽一点家庭的义务。他们深情地回想起订婚的那段时光，曾经如此地渴望拥有彼此而忘掉这个世界，然而现在最深切的感受却是自己仍是这个世界的一份子。

汉译英：

我想，其实谁都有一个小小花园，谁都是有苗圃之地的，这便是我们的内心世界。人的智力需要开发，人的内心世界也是需要开发的。人和动物的区别，除了众所周知的诸多方面，恐怕还在于人有内心世界。心不过是人的一个重要脏器，而内心世界是一种景观，它是由外部世界不断地作用于内心渐渐形成的。每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损，以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的内心世界的阴晴。

参考答案：I think everyone，in effect，has a small garden or a flower bed of his own，namely，our inner world. There is a need for human beings to tap into their own intelligence，as is the case with their inner world. What distinguishes between human beings and animals，apart from the various aspects which are universally known，may probably be in that human beings have an inner world. Heart is no more than an important organ whereas the inner world constitutes a landscape，which gradually takes its shape under the continuous influence from the outside world. So great is the importance that everyone attaches to the physical condition of his own heart or those of his closest and dearest ones，that merely a minor disease would enduringly weigh on his mind.
