III.Translate the following paage into Chinese.
If people mean anything at all by the expreion “untimely death ”, they must believe that some deaths run on a better schedule than others.Death in old age is rarely called untimely — a long life is thought to be a full one.But with the paing of a young person, one aumes that the best years lay ahead and the measures of that life was still to be taken.History denies this of course.Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete.Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playful judge their own lives as failures when they past that year.The idea that life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impreions they leave on the world and by their intensity virtue.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。
IV.Translate the following paage into English.
成名者之所以成名，大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长，并能形成自己的风格。为了能迅速走红，经纪人会极力吹捧他们的这种风格。他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。他们究竟是怎么成功的，大多数人也说不上来。尽管如此，艺术家仍然不能闲下来。若表演者，画家或作家感到厌烦，他们的作品就难以保持以前的吸引力，也就难以保持公众的注意力。公众的热情消磨以后，就会去追捧下一个走红的人。有些艺术家为了不落伍，会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加改动，但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格之外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。
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 agreively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the expre elevator to the top is a blur.Most would be hard-preed 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 diolved, 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.

3.只有你方把现有订货量增至我们所确定的最低数字，我们才能供货。

The “one country two systems”has been adopted to suit China’s conditions and is not an espedient.5.国家要统一，民族要复兴，台湾问题不能无限期地拖延下去。

III.Translate the following paage into Chinese.
It’s a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and happine 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.
令人宽慰的是，生活最终把卓别林先前没能获得的稳定和幸福给了他。他找到了沃娜·奥尼尔·卓别林这个伴侣。她的坚定和深情跨越了他们之间37岁的年龄差距。他们的年龄差距太大，以致当1942年他们要结婚时，新娘公布了他们的结婚日期后，为他们办理手续的官员问这位漂亮的17岁姑娘：“那位小伙子在哪儿？”——当时已经54岁的卓别林一直小心翼翼地在外面等候着。由于沃娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭，她对卓别林生活中将面临的挑战也做好了充分准备，因为当时关于他俩有许多毫无根据的流言。后来在他们那个有那么多天才孩子的大家庭中，卓别林有时会引发争吵，而她则成了安宁的中心。
IV.Translate the following paage into English.
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。

III.Translate the following paage into Chinese.
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.Their chief use for delight, is in privatene and retiring; for ornament, is in discoures;and for ability ,is in the judgement and disposition of busine.For expert men can execute,and perhaps judge of particulars,one by one;but the general counsels,and the plots and marshalling of affairs,come best from those that are learned.To spend too much timein studies is sloth;to use them too much for ornament,is affectation;to make judement wholly by their rules,is the humour of a scholor.They perfect nature,and are perfected by experience:for nature abilities are like natural plants,that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forh directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.Crafty men contempt studies,simple men admire them,and wise men use them;for they teach not their own use;but that is a wisdom without them,and above them,won by observation.Read not to contradict and confute;nor to believe and take for granted;nor to find talk and discourse;but to weigh and consider.Some books are to be tasted,others to be swallowed,and some few to be chewed and digested;that is,some books are to be read only in parts;others to be read,but not curiously;and some few to be read wholly,and with diligence and attention,Some books also may be read by deputy,and extracts made of them by others;but that would be only in the le important arguments,and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are,like common distilled waters,flashy things.读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。读书补天然之不足，经验又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接；而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者慕读书，惟明智之士用读书。而书又不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。书有可浅尝者，又可吞食者，少数则需咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时需全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏，淡而无味矣。

Love is like an elastic band that must stretch apart before it pulls you back close to one another.It is a coming tide whose waters retreat a little after a single wave, but the next one is closer to your heart than the one before.Love needs words to make it real.Without words, quarrels can’t be resolved and we lose the power to share the meaning of our lives.The important thing is to acknowledge and expre our feelings.In this way, we can truly send the spirits of those we love as well as our own soaring upwards.Love is not a single act, but a lifetime adventure in which we are always learning, discovering, growing.It is neither destroyed by a single failure nor won by a single ki.It can only be achieved through patience and understanding.爱就像根松紧带，在它将你们紧紧拉在一起之前，必须先拉开。爱又像涌来的潮水，一浪过后先退却一点，下一个浪才比前一个离你们的心更近。

爱不是一次性的行为，而是一生的探索。我们总是在这种探索中学习、发现和成长。一次失败不能毁灭爱，一次亲吻也不能赢得爱。唯有耐心和理解才能得到爱。
