1. Once more it took off, this time clearing the sand but heading straight toward a stump. Narrowly avoiding it, the bee checked its forward speed, circled and then drifted slowly over the mirrorlike surface of the pool as if to admire its own reflection. As the bee disappeared, I realized that I was still on my knees, and I remained on my knees for some time.

蜜蜂又一次起飞了。这次，它倒是飞越了沙堆，可径直朝一根树桩冲去，勉勉强强总算绕了过去。接着，它调整了航速，盘旋了几圈，就慢慢地飞到了清澈如镜的水潭上空，像是要欣赏自己的形象。

蜜蜂飞走了，我发觉自己还跪着，就这么跪着，跪了许久许久……

2. Because of the high quality of its construction, most of the Great Wall built under Ming still stands intact. The section at Badaling, restored in 1957 for visitors, is typical in structure: 7.8m. high on the average, 6.5m. wide at the bottom, and 5.8m. wide on the top. On the outer flank of the wall, there were battlements for watching and shooting. The guard towers built at intervals were used as sentry posts and living quarters for soldiers. Beacon towers were built at commanding points on either side of the wall for signaling by making smoke in the day time or fire at night in case of emergency in ancient times.

由于建筑的质量很高，明朝修建的长城大部分完好无损。1957年修复的八达岭一段城墙已经向游客开放。这一段的结构很典型：平均高7.8米，底部宽6.5米，顶部宽5.8米。城墙外侧有供瞭望和射击用的城垛。每隔一定距离有一个戊楼，用作士兵的哨所和营房。在城墙两侧的制高点建造了烽火台，古代在紧急情况下发信号的时候，就在烽火台上白天燃烟，夜间举火。 3.

世界博览会是一项规模宏大,全球性,并且非商业的博览会。主办世界博览会，必须通过

国家来申请，且由国际世界博览会委员会批准。博览会旨在加强交流思想和促进世界经济、文化、科学和技术的发展，以便让参展商宣传和展示他们的成就和改善国际关系。因此，有着150年的历史的世界博览会，被视为是经济，科学和技术的奥林匹克运动会。

The World Expo is a large-scale, global, non-commercial Expo. The hosting of the World Expo must be applied for by a country and approved by the international World Expo committee.

Expo aims to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world economy, culture, science and technology, to allow exhibitors to publicize and display their achievements and improve international relationships. Accordingly, the World Expo with its 150-year history is regarded as the Olympic Games of the economy, science and technology. Long sentences

行为主义者认为, 如果儿童的成长环境里有许多刺激因素, 这些因素又有利于其适当反应能力的发展, 那么, 儿童的智力就会发展到较高的水平。

b. But now it is realized that supplies of some of them are limited, and it is even possible to give a reasonable estimate of their ―expectation of life‖, the time it will take to exhaust all known sources and reserves of these materials.

可是现在人们意识到, 其中有些矿物质的蕴藏量是有限的, 人们甚至还可以比较合理的估计出这些矿物质―可望存在多少年‖, 也就是说, 经过若干年后, 这些矿物的全部已知矿源和储量将消耗殆尽。

c. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.

得到了升迁的工人们，成绩进步的学生，学会了一门新语言的外国人----这些例子，都能够有力地证明这些人曾经付出过努力。

d. One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess.

另外一个不应因油价上涨而失眠的原因是，这次不像70年代的那些次上涨，它并不是在普遍的商品价格暴涨和全球需求过旺的背景之下发生的。

II TEM-8 Translation Exercise

(25mins for the Ss to translate this material into Chinese)

Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years, certain issues have persisted since the early days of the republic. One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government in what is basically a marketplace economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative, with a relative absence of government involvement. However, government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people, to prevent flagrant abuses, to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth.

Ever since colonial times, the government has been involved, to some extent, in economic decision-making. The federal government, for example, has made huge investments in infrastructure, and it has provided social welfare programs that the private sector was unable or unwilling to provide. In a myriad of ways and over many decades, the government has supported and promoted the development of agriculture.

虽然多年来美国经济发生了很大的变化，但是某些问题自美国建国之初以来一直持续至今。其中之一就是在一个基本上属于市场经济的国家中，围绕着政府应该扮演的适当角色所展开的持久争论。以自由企业为基础的经济体制，其普遍特征就是私有制和个人创新精神，政府的介入相对很少。然而，为了确保经济机会人人均等，所有人均可获得经济机会，防止公然的不正当行为，抑制通货膨胀并刺激经济增长，人们发现政府的干预常常也是必要的。

自殖民地时期以来，美国政府或多或少地参与到经济决策中来。例如，联邦政府在基础设施方面投入了巨资，它也提供了私有经济没有能力或不愿意提供的社会福利项目。在过去

的数十年中，政府也已无数的方式支持并促进了农业的发展。

I Exercise 1, Unit 9

Peace and Development: the Themes of the Times

和平与发展是时代的主题

Peace and development are the themes of the times. People across the world should join hands in advancing the lofty cause of peace and development of mankind.

和平与发展是时代的主题。世界各国人民应携手合作,继续推进人类和平与发展的崇高事业。

A peaceful environment is indispensable for national, regional and even global development. Without peace or political stability, there would be no economic progress to speak of. This has been fully proved by both the past and the present.

和平的环境是一个国家、一个地区以至全球发展的重要前提。没有和平,没有稳定的政治局面,就谈不上经济发展。历史和现实都充分说明了这一点。

In today's world, the international situation is, on the whole, moving towards relaxation. However, conflicts and even local wars triggered by various factors have kept cropping up, and tension still remains in some areas. All this has impeded the economic development of the countries and regions concerned, and has also adversely affected the world economy. All responsible statesmen and governments must abide by the purposes of the UN Charter and the universally acknowledged norms governing international relations, and work for a universal, lasting and comprehensive peace. Nobody should be allowed to cause tension or armed conflicts against the interest of the people.

当今世界,国际局势总体上趋向缓和,但各种因素引发的冲突甚至局部战争此起彼伏,一些地区的紧张态势依然存在,妨碍了有关国家和地区的经济发展,也对世界经济产生了不利影响。一切负责任的政治家和政府都应该遵守《联合国宪章》的宗旨和公认的国际关系基本准则,为实现普遍、持久、全面的和平而努力,而不能违背各国人民的利益去人为地挑起紧张态势,甚至制造武力冲突。

There are still in this world a few interest groups which always want to seek gains by creating tension here and there. This is against the will of the majority of the people and against the trend of the times. An enormous market demand can be created and economic prosperity promoted only when continued efforts are made to advance the cause of peace and development to ensure

that people around the world live and work in peace and contentment and focus on economic development and on scientific and technological innovation.

在这个世界上仍旧有少数的利益集团总想通过在这样那样的地方制造紧张态势来谋利,这是违背大多数人民的意志和时代潮流的。而且,只有不断推进和平与发展的事业,各国人民安居乐业,集中精力发展经济,创新科技,才能创造巨大的市场需求和促进经济繁荣。 I hope that all of us here today will join hands with all other peace-loving people and work for lasting world peace and the common development and prosperity of all nations and regions. 我希望,在座各位,以及一切爱好和平的人们携起手来,为共同促进世界的持久和平和各国各地区的普遍发展与繁荣而努力！

III TEM-8 Exercise

The Reagan administration’s most serious foreign policy problem surfaced near the end of the president’s second term. / In 1987 American learned that the administration had secretly sold arms to Iran in an attempt to win freedom for American hostages held in Lebanon by radical organizations controlled by Iran’s Khomeini government. / Investigation also revealed that funds from the arms sales had been diverted to the Nicaraguan contras during a period when Congress had prohibited such military aid. /

The ensuing Iran-contra hearings before a joint House-Senate committee examined issues of possible illegality as well as the broader question of defining American foreign policy interests in the Middle East and Central America. / In a larger sense, the Iran-contra hearings, like the celebrated Senate Watergate hearings 14 years earlier, addressed fundamental questions about the government’s accountability to the public, and the proper balance between the executive and legislative branches of government.

里根政府最严重的对外政策问题在总统第二任期即将结束之际浮出水面。/ 1987年,美国人得知里根政府曾秘密向伊朗出售武器以换取美国人质的人身自由,这些人质被伊朗霍梅尼政府所控制的激进组织扣押在黎巴嫩。/调查还披露从这些武器交易中所得的资金已被转移到尼加拉瓜反政府人士手里,而美国国会在这一时期早已禁止这样的军事援助。/

参众两院联合委员会随后举行的有关―伊朗----反政府人士事件‖的听证会审议了可能存在的违法问题,以及对美国在中东和中美洲对外政策利益进行界定这一更为广泛的问题。/正如14年前著名的参议院水门事件听证会一样,有关―伊朗----反政府人士事件‖的听证会从某

种更广泛的意义上涉及到了一些根本性的问题,即政府应如何对公众负责,以及如何保持政府行政与立法部门之间适当平衡的问题。

通信卫星系统在过去的几十年中取得了很大的成功，已引起了人们对未来的广泛关注。一些国家正在采用卫星来发展国内的通信，以取代传统的陆地电话线。但是，卫星研制、发射和运转的成本很高，超出了一些国家的经济承受能力。尽管如此，通信卫星系统得到了越来越多的人的重视和支持，这种技术会在未来更加普及。

Telecommunication/Communication satellite systems have been quite a success in the past decades, evoking widespread attention to their future. Some countries have been using satellites for domestic communications in place of conventional telephone lines on land. But satellites’ development, launching and operation are so costly that some countries can’t afford. In spite of all this, communication satellites are gaining attention and support from more and more people. The technique seems likely to be more widely utilized in the future.
