PAPER TWO

PART ⅣTRANSLATION

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

My advisor was an Asian American. He indulged himself in smoking and alcoholic drinking and was hot-tempered. But he appreciated the diligence and the sound basic knowledge of students of Asian origin very much, and shared their sentiments (understood their feeling). Therefore, of the six students who were permitted to study in his laboratory, only one was from Germany, the other five were all from Asia. He was so straight forward as to put up a note on the door of his lab, which read: “Research assistant in this lab must work seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to midnight every day, and must spare no effort (go all out) in work hours.“ He was well known throughout the campus for his strictness and severity.

During the three and a half years of my work there fourteen students entered hislab, but only five left with a doctor’s degree. In the summer of 1990, irrespective of other’s advice, I forced myself to receive his assistance and began my hard journey for schooling.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

观看歌剧是件昂贵的事。昂贵是必然的。然而昂贵的东西并非富人所独有,除非我们放弃社会赋予的选择权。我们有权做出选择去创作歌剧和其它昂贵的文化形式,使那些单凭个人的能力无力支付的人享受得起。问题在于我们为什么要这样做?没有人否定食物、住所、防御能力、健康和教育是必不可少的,即使在史前的山洞里,人类伸出手来不仅是为了吃、喝、战斗,他们还作画。文化的冲动,即通过想象和表达去显示和探索世界的渴望是最根本的东西。在欧洲,这种渴望已通过音乐、绘画、文学和戏剧的名著得以实现。这些名著对我们付出的所有努力进行了检验。它们成了人类的思维和想象力所能达到程度的试金石它们包含着人与人之间能够传递的最深刻的信

PART ⅤWRITING

Sowing the Seeds, Nurturing Growth and Harvesting the Rewards

In spring we sow the seeds in the soil. We look after them and cut off seeds for them. And in autumn, we are very happy to get harvest. A student’s success in university study follows the same pattern as that of farming. The teachers are the seeds in our mind by giving lectures to us. We can get nothing without hard working. That is to say “No pains, no gains.”First, if we hope a harvest, the seeds play the fundamental role, or we can say that it is ery important to listen carefully to the teachers. In my point of view, it is the teacher who sows the seeds. What is seed? It is knowledge. Some students sleep in the class. They carry nothing with them when they leave the classroom. That is to say they don’t get seeds from the teachers. They are not interested in the lectures. They like to stay up all night to review the lesson. Now it seems that they are working hard in a field, which has no seeds in the soil. It sounds ridiculous, isn’t it? Therefore, to absorb in class is very important.

Second, nurturing growth is the key point in farming, or we can say that hard working for the students themselves is the most important. We can imagine that we sow the seeds in the soil and then don’t pay attention to them any more. Then how can we get a harvest? If we don’t water the seeds, they will dry and can never become a plant. If we don’t get rid of the seeds, the plant will die of malnutrition. It is the same in study. Listen carefully to the teachers and get the seeds in our mind and notebooks. But we must review the lesson. We must grasp the knowledge. We should borrow more books which are relevant to the class from library and absorb the knowledge. This is the most important process in study. When you say: “ Oh, the knowledge is mine now. It doesn’t belong to the teachers any longer,”you finish the hard work process in study.

Third, harvesting is also an important process. That is to say that you must learn to use what you have studied to get a good result in examination. Some students work all day long. They usually fail in the exam. They are worried before exam and forget everything when enter the classroom for exam. They got the seeds, they devoted all their energy to the field but they don’t know how to harvest their rewards. So let’s learn the skill of harvest and get our rewards.

To sum up, the three processes are all important if we want to be a successful student. Without one of them, we will fail in our study. Try to improve yourself in the three aspects; you can certainly become an excellent student.
