Put the following two passages into English. (40 points) (A) 我在好几篇小说中都提到过一座废弃的古园,实际就是地坛。许多年前旅游业还没有开展,园子荒芜冷落得如同一片野地,很少被人记起。 地坛离我家很近。或者说我家离地坛很近。总之,只好认为这是缘分。 地坛在我出生前四百多年就坐落在那儿了,而自从我的祖母年轻时带着我父亲来到北京,就一直住在离它不远的地方 五十多年间搬过几次家,可搬来搬去总是在它周围,而且是越搬离它越近了。我常觉得这中间有着宿命的味道:仿佛这古园就是为了等我,而历尽沧桑在那儿等待了四百多年。 (B) 2000 多年前,亚欧大陆上勤劳勇敢的人民,探索出多条连接亚欧非几大文明的贸易和人文交流通路,后人将其统称为 “ 丝绸之路 ” 。千百年来, “ 和平合作、开放包容、互学互鉴、互利共赢 ” 的丝绸之路精神薪火相传,推进了人类文明进步,是促进沿线各国繁荣发展的重要纽带,是东西方交流合作的象征,是世界各国共有的历史文化遗产。进入 21世纪,在以和平、发展、合作、共赢为主题的新时代, 第 4 页(共 5 页) 面对复苏乏力的全球经济形势,纷繁复杂的国际和 地区局面,传承和弘扬丝绸之路精神更显重要和珍贵 。 IV. Put the following two passages into Chinese. (40 points) (A) Does life afford us more pleasure than pain, or the reverse is true? Nobody has ever attempted an evaluation as such. Since “ misery starts at literacy”, I suppose “life isnt a bed of roses” may be a relatively accurate and vivid portrait of the life of those who are not so muddleheaded(浑浑噩噩 ). Indeed, happiness is a long shot, whereas unhappiness is always a fixed target throughout our life time. If you dont wish to break down or end your life; if you are unwilling to be a gladiator(斗士 ) to fight for your fate; if you will not be resigned to indulging yourself in melancholy like a silkworm confined to its cocoon(茧 ), the best option is to spare no effort in search of happiness and build your own ideal world. Do not be too hard on yourself. Keep it in mind, your happiness and your world are your own property! (B) What will the face of translation and interpreting look like in the future? For millennia, living, breathing translators and interpreters have embodied unparalleled linguistic skills, specialised training, professional conduct and overarching passion for their work.

Let International Translation Day 2015 be a celebration of the great advances that have been made in translation and interpreting tools, and most importantly, celebrate the individuals who are the beating heart of this profession.

A connected, communication highway that runs across time zones, languages and continents, a universe full of past, present and future possibilities. 第 5 页(共 5 页)
