Part I Translation(100 points in total)

Direction: This part consists of three passages. Translate passage 1 from English into Chinese

and passage 2 and 3 from Chinese into English.

Passage 1: English- Chinese Translation. (50 points)

An Italian author-Giulio Cordara, a Jesuit-has written a poem upon insects, which he begins by

insisting, that those troublesome and abominable little animals were created for our annoyance, and that

they were certainly not inhabitants of Paradise. We of the north may dispute this piece of theology; but

on the other hand, it is as clear as the snow on the housetops, that Adam was not under the necessity of

shaving; and that when Eve walked out of her delicious bower, she did not step upon ice three inches

thick.

Some people say it is a very easy thing to get up of a cold morning. You have only, they tell you, to

take the resolution; and the thing is done. This may be very true; just as a boy at school has only to take

a flogging, and the thing is over. But we have not at all made up our minds upon it; and we find it a very

pleasant exercise to discuss the matter, candidly, before we get up. This at least is not idling, though it

may be lying. It affords an excellent answer to those, who ask how lying in bed can be indulged in by a

reasoning being,-a rational creature. How? Why with the argument calmly at work in one’s head，and the

clothes over one’s shoulder. Oh-it is a fine way of spending a sensible, impartial half-hour.

If these people would be more charitable, they would get on with their argument better. But they

are apt to reason so ill, and to assert so dogmatically, that one could wish to have them stand around

one’s bed of a bitter morning, and lie before their faces. They ought to hear both sides of the bed, the

inside and out. If they cannot entertain themselves with their own thoughts for half an hour or so, it is

not the fault of those who can. If their will is never pulled aside by the enticing arms of imagination, so

much the luckier for the stage-coachman.

Candid inquiries into one’s decumbency, besides the greater or less privileges to be allowed a man

in proportion to his ability of keeping early hours, the work given his faculties, etc, with at least concede

their due merits to such representations as the following. In the first place, says the injured but calm

appealer, I have been warm all night, and find my system in a state perfectly suitable to a warm-blooded

animal. To get out of this state into the cold, besides the inharmonious and uncritical abruptness of the

transition, is so unnatural to such a creature, that the poets, refining upon the tortures of the damned,

make one of their greatest agonies consist in being suddenly transported from heat to cold, -from fire to

ice. They are ‘haled’out of their ‘beds’, says Milton, by ‘harpy-footed furies’, - fellows who come to

call them.
