2021年catti高级口译习题及答案（卷五）

英译中

In-state tuition. For decades, it was the one advantage big state schools had that even the Ivy League couldn't match, in terms of recruiting the best and the brightest to their campuses. But these days, that's no longer necessarily the case. Starting this September, some students will find a Harvard degree cheaper than one from many public universities. Harvard officials sent shock waves through academia last December by detailing a new financial-aid policy that will charge families making up to $180,000 just 10% of their household income per year, substantially subsidizing the annual cost of more than $45,600 for all but its wealthiest students. The move was just the latest in what has amounted to a financial-aid bidding war in recent years among the U.S.'s élite universities.

Though Harvard's is the most generous to date, Princeton, Yale and Stanford have all launched similar plans to cap tuition contributions for students from low- and middle-income families. Indeed, students on financial aid at nearly every Ivy stand a good chance of graduating debt-free, thanks to loan-elimination programs introduced over the past five years. And other exclusive schools have followed their lead by replacing loans with grants and work-study aid. And several more schools are joining the no-loan club this fall. Even more schools have taken steps

to reduce debt among their neediest students. 【参考译文】

数十年来，州内学费是大型州立学校得天独厚的优势，连常春藤联盟都无法匹敌，因为这能为学校招来最优秀、最聪明的学生。但是如今，情况却未必如此。从今年九月起，一些学生会发现读一个哈佛大学的学位比许多公立大学的还要便宜。去年十二月，哈佛官员详细阐述了一项新的财政资助政策，对于年收入不高于180000美元的家庭，只收取其中的10%作为学费。绝大多数学生的家庭经济条件一般，本来每年要缴纳45600多美元的学费，对他们而言，这可谓一份厚礼，整个学术界为之震动。近年来，美国的精英大学纷纷出台财政资助政策，相互之间打得不可开交，哈佛大学的这一举措只是其中最新的一项。

尽管哈佛开出的条件是迄今最优厚的，普林斯顿、耶鲁和斯坦福都出台了类似的计划，来降低中低收入家庭的学生所需支付的学费。而且，由于过去五年里采用的免贷款计划，如今几乎每一所常春藤盟校里接受资助的学生都很可能无债一身轻地毕业。其它收费昂贵的学校纷纷效仿，取消了贷款，发放助学金和勤工俭学补助。今年秋天，还有几所学校会加入这个“无贷款俱乐部”。更多的学校都已采取措施，为最需要资助的学生减少债务。英译中

中译英中国古代圣人孔子曾说过：“劳心者治人，劳力者治于人。”这句话反映了中国传统文化中人的地位等级的划分，也直接影响了人们对职业的选择。现代意义上的“白领阶层”是让人羡慕的对象，而“蓝领阶层”即使工资较高，仍有被人看不起的压力。

在中国，还有另外一句流传甚广的话，叫做“无商不奸”，认为商人“唯利是图”，与君子重义轻利的追求背道而驰，所以在传统文化中经商是被人看不起的职业，但是，随着社会主义市场经济的发展，

从商“下海”已经变成许多年轻人择业时的第一选择。现代年轻人选择职业时，已较少传统的观念，更具有现代意识。【参考译文】

Confucius, an ancient Chinese sage, said: “He who uses his brain will govern; he who uses his strength will be governed.” It is a reflection of the demarcation of status in traditional Chinese culture and a direct determiner of career-choosing in China. White collar workers, in modern sense for those using their brains, are the envy of the society while blue collar workers, working by using their strength, are under pressure of inferiority despite their high wages.

In China, there goes another saying that all merchants are liars. It is generally believed that business is a despised profession in traditional culture as businessmen are profit-oriented, which runs counter to what men of complete virtues should pursue, valuing justice above material gains. However, going into business has become the primary choice for youth in choosing a career, who have shed the shackles of tradition towards modern consciousness.

英译中 In general, investment in the United States will be in the form of a subsidiary. It is possible for a non-U.S corporation to operate a branch office in the United States, but there are significant disadvantages to a branch, particularly with respect to its tax treatment.

Branches of non-U.S corporations are not subject to federal

-赵德林作品

regulation or registration requirements. However, each state will require a “foreign” corporation to “qualify” before “doing business” in that state. A corporation will be considered “foreign” if it is organized under the laws of another country or another state, and so this in not a requirement imposed only on non-U.S investors.

“Doing business” is a technical term that implies a substantial presence in the state. This would include the ownership of leasing of real property, the maintenance of a stock of goods for local sale, employee and the like. Selling products to local customers, either directly or through an independent sales representative or distributor, would not in itself constitute “doing business”.

The State actually exercise little control over the qualification process other than to ensure that the qualifying entity’s name is not confusingly similar to an already registered entity and that all registration fees and taxes are paid (qualification is basically a form of taxation). In most states, qualification for a non-U.S corporation consists of a relatively easy application, a registration fee, and a notarized of legalized copy of the corporation’s articles of incorporation (in English or a certified translation). 【参考译文】

一般而言，外国公司都是以设立分公司的形式在美国进行投资。然而，这种方式纵使可行，不足之处也非常显著，特别体现在所需缴

-赵德林作品

纳的高额税款方面。

当某公司被视作为外国子公司时，就可以免受美国联邦规章制度的限制。但要想成为合格的一分子并享受此番待遇也并非易事，需要满足相应条件，即它需要遵守其它国家的规章，这也就是美国对外国子公司的定义。

在美国，公司开始营业被学术地称为“办公”，其标志一般是需要有办公区，货物储备以及工作人员等等。否则就未能达标。换句话说，无论是直接在本地售货，还是通过经销商或第三方代销都不算“办公”。

其实，美国检验这些外国子公司是否合格的流程相当简单，与此相比，检验公司名称的过程就及其繁复。必须确保没有重复或容易混淆的名字。因为保护已纳税的公司的商标名也是政府应尽的义务之一。在美国大多数州，检验外国子公司是否合格的流程相对来说比较简单，只要缴纳更名费，再用英文(或官方翻译)对公司商品合格证进行公证就可完成。

青浦地区江河纵横，海上贸易自古繁盛。建于唐代作为舟船航行的航标的泖塔，是朱家角日趋繁荣的见证。自上海建县后，朱家角因利乘便，蔚然兴盛，一跃成为商贾云集、烟火千家的贸易集镇。朱家角之繁华日胜一日，历史文化含蕴也日渐浓厚。明末清初，朱家角已经成为棉布交易中心，后来米业兴起，遂有“衣被天下、粮油江南”之美誉。伴随着经济的步步繁荣，文化也渐趋多姿多彩。朱家角历来水木清华，文儒辈出。如今，历史已逝，泖塔犹存。随着时代的变迁，朱

Mao Tower, the lighthouse built in the Tang Dynasty to guide ships, witnessed the growing prosperity of Zhujiajiao. After Shanghai was established as a county-level administration, Zhujiajiao took advantage of Shanghai’s development to flourish into a market town. Thronged with merchants from all parts of the country among hundreds of households of residents. As I grew in prosperity with each passing day, its historical and cultural heritage became richer and richer. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zhujiajiao was already a trading center for ctton cloth. With upsurge of the rice trade afterwards, Zhujiajiao earned the reputation as a supplier of cloth for the whole country and of grain and oil for the region south of the Yangtze River. As the economy of Zhujiajiao became increasingly prosperous, its cultural activities presented a colorful picture. Zhuiajiao has always been a land of beautiful scenery / clear waters and magnificent buildings where scholars and intellectuals came forth in large numbers. Now, what is gone is gone forever, but Mao Tower still stands there as a witness to its glorious past. With the change of the times, Zhujiajiao has now developed into a prominent hub of economic and cultural activities What today’s global market economy teaches many of us who are

involved in political life, is that even when they are inconvenient, the laws of economics, like the laws of physics, cannot be repealed for the convenience of governments. The economic principles for national success are as difficult to implement as they are easy to state. There is a paradox in all our countries at this moment. Just as a new global economy creates more to look forward to than ever before, it also brings more uncertainty and more change to worry about than ever before. That is why the challenge of crafting economic policy in your country as in mine is one of balance. A balance between moving toward necessary objectives and maintaining stability. A balance between responding to global realities and upholding domestic traditions. And a balance between the virtues of competition as the best known motivator and driver of success, and the importance of cohesion and cooperation as sources of strength for our societies. These balances will have to be struck and calibrated every year in every country in this new global economy. These measures are what one might call the intangible infrastructure of a modern market economy. 【参考译文】

我们许多从政者可以从当今全球市场经济中得到这样的启示，那就是经济学法则就像物理学法则一样，有一定的规律，即使当它们会引起诸多不便的时候，也不能为了政府的一时之便而朝令夕改。促进国家繁荣的经济原则，说起来容易，做起来难。此时此刻，我们所有

国家都面临一个矛盾。新的全球经济的产物之多前所未有，让人期盼，同样，它带来的不确定性和变化也超越以往，令人担忧。和我国一样，贵国的经济政策也要量身定制，所面临的挑战是如何保持平衡：朝着必要的目标前进和保持稳定之间的平衡，顺应全球实际趋势和维护国内传统之间的平衡，以及竞争的裨益和团结、合作的重要性之间的平衡，竞争是最为人熟知的成功的动力，团结合作是我们社会力量的源泉。在这个新的全球经济中，各国每年都必须做一些适当的调整，以保持平衡。我们可以将这些措施称为一个现代市场经济的无形基础设施。

据说，上海男人是最好的丈夫。他们总是知道该如何讨妻子欢心，避免矛盾，一家人其乐融融。从某种程度上讲，上海男人是社会安定和和谐的象征。当妻子快乐时，他也快乐。因而整个城市充满快乐的气氛。

上海男人常被戏谑为“妻管严”。但他们从不屈从于妻子，当发生争吵时，他们总是保持沉默，要么一笑置之。但他们有时也会生气，但事后不久他们会毫不犹豫道歉。最终妻子发现，她总是按照他说的去办。

上海男人，聪明、务实，有时甚至有点圆滑。但最印象深刻的，上海男人在事业上有进取心，对家庭有很强的责任感，而且尊重女性。【参考译文】

Shanghai men are said to be the best of husbands. They know how to win the favor of their wives and avoid conflicts so that happiness

-赵德林作品

pervades their families. Shanghai men can be regarded as the symbol of social security and harmony. They are joyful whenever their wives are, thus filling the whole city of Shanghai with joy.

Shanghai men are jokingly called hen-pecked husbands. However, they will never yield to their wives but remain silent or smile away the quarrels. And they will apologize unhesitantly shortly after they lose their temper, which is a rarity. Finally, their wives find themselves complying to what their husbands say.

Shanghai men are smart and practical and even slippery, but what impresses most is that they are aggressive in their career and responsible to their families and respectful to females.

The task of writing a history of our nation from Rome's earliest days fills me, I confess, with some misgiving , and even were I confident in the value of my work, I should hesitate to say so. I am aware that for historians to make extravagant claims is, and always has been, all too common: every writer on history tends to look down his nose at his less cultivated predecessors, happily persuaded that he will better them in points of style, or bring new facts to light. Countless others have written on this theme and it may be that I shall pass unnoticed amongst them; if so, I must comfort myself with the greatness and splendor of my rivals, whose work will rob my own of recognition.

My task, moreover, is an immensely laborious one. I shall have to go

-赵德林作品

back more than seven hundred years, and trace my story from its small beginnings up to these recent times when its ramifications are so vast that any adequate treatment is hardly possible. I shall find antiquity a rewarding study, if only because, while I am absorbed in it, I shall be able to turn my eyes from the troubles which for so long have tormented the modern world, and to write without any of that over-anxious consideration which may well plague a writer on contemporary life, even if it does not lead him to conceal the truth. 【参考译文】

我忙着写一段从罗马建立伊始我们国家的历史，我承认，而且还有点担忧，即使我对我工作的价值充满信心，我仍然不敢这么说。我觉得，历史学家言过其实，是司空见惯的现象，而且一直如此：每一个写历史的人往往对他素养稍低的前辈们嗤之以鼻，还喜滋滋地声称要在风格上超越他们，或者要挖掘更多的事实。关于这一主题的作品汗牛充栋，我自己的可能会湮没其间。如果是这样，我只能想想对手的伟大和才华，以求自慰，因为他们让我的作品相形失色。而且，我的任务相当艰辛。我得回顾700多年的历史来写我的故事，一直追溯到纷繁芜杂的近代，几乎再难有所作为。我发现研究古代是颇有收获的。因为，当我沉浸其中的时候，我就能把目光从折磨了现代社会太长的时间的困扰中移开，就敢于放开手脚，信笔由缰，不再使一个现代社会的作者备受煎熬，即使不能引领他发现真相。 Well before his death, Peter Drucker had already become a legend.

-赵德林作品

Over his 95 prolific years, he had been a true Renaissance man, and teacher of religion, philosophy and political science. But his most important contribution, clearly, is in business. What John Keynes is to economics, Drucker is to management.

In the 1980s Peter Drucker began to have grave doubts about business and even capitalism itself. He no longer saw the corporation as the ideal space to create community. In fact, he saw nearly the opposite: a place where self-interest had triumphed over the egalitarian principles he long championed. In both his writings and speeches, Drucker emerged as one of Corporate America's most important critics. When conglomerates were the rage, he preached against reckless mergers and acquisitions. When executives were engaged in empire-building, he argued against excess staff and the inefficiencies of numerous \"assistants to\".

In a 1984 essay he persuasively argued that CEO pay had rocketed out of control and implored boards to hold CEO compensation to no more than 20 times what the rank and file made. He maintained that multi-million-dollar severance packages had perverted management's ability to look out anything but itself. What particularly enraged him was the tendency of corporate managers to reap massive earnings while firing thousands of their workers. \"This is morally and socially unforgivable,\" wrote Drucker, \"and we will pay a heavy price for it.\"

彼得•德鲁克在世时就已成为传奇人物。在 95 年的光辉岁月里，他广著名作，多才多艺，在宗教、哲学以及政治学领域都堪为人师。然而他最重要的成就无疑还是在商业领域。管理学中的德鲁克正如经济学里的约翰 . 凯恩斯。

二十世纪八十年代，彼得•德鲁克开始对商业模式乃至资本主义制度本身产生了深深的怀疑。他不再认为公司是创造和谐氛围的理想场所，事实上，他所目睹的与此截然相反：公司里人人各为其利，而这与他一直倡导的公平原则相违背。无论是在著作还是演讲中，德鲁克都针锋相对，成为美国式企业制度最重要的批判者之一。适逢大财团纷纷涌现，他不厌其烦，尽数此类疯狂兼并和收购的弊端。当职业经理人们埋头建造商业帝国时，他指出冗员和机构臃肿会造成效率低下，危害不浅。

1984 年，他撰文有力地说明企业首席行政官的薪酬之高已近失控，并强烈建议各公司的董事会将其首席执行官的离职补偿金控制在普通员工的二十倍以内。他认为，企业高管动辄数百万美元的离职补偿金，使他们本末倒置，只管个人利益。最使他气愤的是公司经理人一方面自己收入丰厚，另一方面却在大批裁员。德鲁克写道，“无论是在道德层面，还是在社会层面，这都是无法原谅的，我们会为此付出沉重的代价。”

The Chinese civilization has always given prominence to cordiality, benevolence, and good neighborliness and laid stress on living in harmony with others. In foreign relations, the Chinese people have always believed that “the strong should not oppress the weak and the rich should not bully the poor” and advocate that “all nations live side by side in perfect harmony.”

The Chinese hold that “one should be as inclusive as the ocean, which is vast because it admits hundreds of rivers” and call for drawing upon the strength and useful experiences of other people. China commits itself firmly to peaceful development, accelerating its development by upholding world peace and promoting world peace through its own development.

China firmly pursues a strategy of opening-up for mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, genuinely willing to enter into extensive cooperation with other countries and to embrace everything that is

A proposal to change long-standing federal policy and deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on U.S. soil ran aground this month in Congress, but it is sure to resurface – kindling bitter debate even if it fails to become law.

At issue is “birthright citizenship” – provided for since the Constitution’s 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Section 1 of that amendment, drafted with freed slaves in mind, says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

Some conservatives in Congress, as well as advocacy groups seeking to crack down on illegal immigration, say the amendment has been misapplied over the years, that it was never intended to grant citizenship automatically the babies of illegal immigrants. Thus they contend that federal legislation, rather than a difficult-to-achieve constitutional amendment, would be sufficient to end birthright citizenship.

“Most Americans feel it doesn’t make any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth and have a new U.S. citizen,” said the spokesman of the federation of American immigration reform.

-赵德林作品

“But the advocates for illegal immigrants will make a fuss; they’ll claim you’re punishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn’t want to deal with that.” 【参考译文】

本月，一项意在改变存在已久的联邦政策、拒绝给予在美国的非法移民所生的子女公民身份的提案在国会搁了浅，但是这个提案肯定会重新出台——即使该提案不能成为法律，也会引起激烈的争论。争论的焦点是“与生俱来的公民权”——自1868年批准的宪法第14条修正案以来就对这一权利作了规定。以获得自由的奴隶为本意而起草的该修正案第一款规定：“凡在美国出生或归化美国、且受美国管辖之人，皆为美国公民。”

国会中的一些保守派以及主张对非法移民进行严厉打击的团体声言，多年来该修正案应用不当，其用意从来就不是理所当然的要给予非法移民的子女公民权。因而，他们宣称通过联邦立法，而不是一条难以达成的宪法修正案，就足以终结与生俱来的公民权。 “大多数美国人认为，非法进入美国的人在美国生儿养女，使新生的子女成为美国的新公民，这是没有道理的，”美国移民改革联合会的发言人说。“但是非法移民的代言人定会小题大做;他们会说你们是在惩罚孩子，因此我料想我们的领导人不会愿意面对这件事情。” 光阴似箭，转眼中国加入世贸组织已经整整4年。4年来，中国加入世贸绝大多数承诺都已兑现，部分承诺的兑现甚至走在规定的时间表之内。在世贸成员关心的知识产权问题上，中国启动法律修改工程，

查处大批侵权案件，这些努力均取得了显著成效。中国政府还全面清理了部委和地方的行政法规。

How time flies! In a twinkling of an eye it is already 4 years since China acceded to the World Trade Organization ( WTO ). Over the past 4 years, China has honored most of the commitments it made when joining the WTO, and some of them are even fulfilled ahead of schedule. In respect of the intellectual property issue that is of concern to WTO members, China launched a law revamp program and investigated a great number of infringement cases. These efforts have achieved remarkable effect. The Chinese government has also revamped the administrative laws and regulations at ministerial and local levels. By making and honoring promises that can be counted on, China has shown its utmost sincerity and largeness of mind as a great and responsible country/nation, gaining acclamations from WTO members and international public opinion. At the WTO annual deliberations, China’s efforts have been fully recognized over the years. To accord its domestic economy with the WTO rules, China has manifested strong

willingness to undertake responsibility; it has fulfilled its obligations as always and has never wavered.

The popular view when discussing urban transportation in American cities today is to decry its sorry state. Newspaper and journals are filled with talk of \"urban transportation crisis,\" of the \"difficulties of getting from here to there, \" and so on at great length. Matters are reported to get worse and very quickly.

Everyone has his own favorite traumatic experience to report: of the occasion when many of the switches froze on New York's commuter railroads; of the sneak snowstorm in Boston that converted thirty-minute commuter trips into seven hour ordeals; of the extreme difficulties in Chicago and other Midwestern cities when some particularly heavy and successive snowstorms were endured.

One reason for the talk of an urban transportation crisis in the United States today perhaps lies in a failure to meet anticipations. Many commuters expected to reduce their commuting times as systems improved, but instead found themselves barely able to maintain the status quo in terms of time requirements./ Another reason for talk of crisis, almost certainly, is the rate of improvement in the performance of urban transportation systems during rush hours has been markedly inferior to that expected during off-peak hours. Specifically, the ability to move quickly about American cities during non-rush hours has improved

人们议论起今天美国城市的交通，普遍都对其混乱不堪的状况持公开批评的观点。报纸和杂志充斥着谈论“城市交通危机”、“行路难”及诸如此类的话题。据报道，交通问题越来越糟，而且每况愈下的速度非常之快。

每个人都有自己喜欢向人叙说的可怕经历：纽约市郊铁路上的许多道岔冻住了;波士顿突然遭遇暴风雪，使得30分钟短途旅程变成了7小时的煎熬：在芝加哥和其它中西部城市，特大暴风雪接二连三袭来，持续数日，使交通变得极其困难。

人们谈论当今美国城市交通危机的一个原因，或许在于目前的状况未能达到人们的期望值。随着交通系统的改进，许多依赖公共交通出行的上班族期望能够缩短上下班来回时间，到头来却发现在交通上所花的时间几乎没有减少。人们谈论交通危机的另一个原因，几乎可以肯定的是，高峰时段城市交通系统功能的改进程度明显不如非高峰时段人们所期待的改进程度。确切地讲，在非高峰时间美国城市间快速通行的能力的确有了显著的改善。

The grand spirit of Anti-aggression is a vivid reflection of the Chinese people’s persistent solidarity. Upon the Japanese invasion, China’s sons and daughters, here or there, old or young, rich or poor, gather together with one mind and build up an insurmountable Great Wall in resistance, with their flesh and blood.

“Indulge never in money and rank, apostatize never when in poverty and hardship, surrender never to power and force.” In times of national crisis, this formidable mettle and dauntless integrity prompt China’s sons and daughters to go through fire and water with the courage of despair, making the anti-Japanese war moving and praise-worthy.

It is now the 60th anniversary of China’s anti-Japanese war and the world’s anti-fascism war. And it is still of great significance today for us to review the buskined history of fire and blood, to recall the great feats of the gallant martyrs, and to carry forward our nation’s infinite morale of anti-aggression.

The book shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who,

through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House---a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor.

We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, an unfaltering commitment to civil fights, and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political life. We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth--born after his father's death; caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, drawn to the brilliant, compelling lady whom he was determined to marry; passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, and to the entire experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pained him at times into damaging patterns of behavior. 【参考译文】

本书向我们展示了一个杰出美国人的成长历程。他精力充沛，通过艰苦卓绝的努力，从阿肯色州的霍普镇走到了白宫，完成了一段不

-赵德林作品

可思议的人生历程。他一生的每一阶段都展示出对政治生涯的狂热追求，正是这种追求鼓舞着他走完这段历程：在大学期间，他已经是参议员威廉·富尔布莱特的实习生;在牛津大学，他成为反越战运动的一份子;在耶鲁大学法学院，他参与民主党候选人的基层选举;回到阿肯色州，他竞选过州议会议员，司法部长直至州长。

他有着坚毅的决心要改善同胞们的生活，他致力于民权运动，矢志不渝，他对于如何运用政治权力有着超乎常人的深刻理解，这一切成为他职业生涯的闪光点，有目共睹。

我们日益了解到他青少年时期所遭受的情感波折：他是父亲去世后降临人世的遗腹子;母亲含辛茹苦，但喜好争吵，继父动辄打骂，他成长在两人岌岌可危的婚姻关系之中;他被一位才华横溢、令人折服的女士所倾倒，下定决心与她步入婚姻殿堂;他从女儿出生起就疼爱有加，尽心尽力地做一个好父亲;青少年时期压抑的痛苦使他后来偶尔作出一些不利的行为，这样逐渐深入的了解也颇令人感伤。他在父亲的教导下“发愤用功”，其实他读书还是出于喜好，只似馋嘴佬贪吃美食：食肠很大，不择精粗，甜咸杂进。极俗的书他也能看得哈哈大笑。戏曲里的插科打诨，他不仅且看且笑，还一再搬演，笑得打跌。精微深奥的哲学、美学、文艺理论等大部著作，他像小儿吃零食那样吃了又吃，厚厚的书一本本渐次吃完，诗歌更是他喜好的读物。重得拿不动的大词典、辞典、百科全书等，他不仅挨着字母逐条细读，见了新版本，还不嫌其烦的把新条目增补在旧书上。他看书常做些笔记。

Though he “made a determined effort to study” under his father’s preaching, he studied out of his own interest. He was just like an gourmet greatly attached to delicate food. Coarse and delicate, sweet and bitter, could well go into his enormous stomach. Similarly, he would burst into an uproar while reading low-brow books. He would chuckle while watching farcical parts in folk operas and even laugh out of his balance and imitate them again and again. As for refined and sophisticated works, either philosophical, aesthetical works or theoretical books of literature and arts, he would read them over and over, as kids licking their candies As a result, he finished reading those thick books one by one. Poetry was his favorite. If it were dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopedias which were too heavy to move, he would read them entry by entry, line by line. If there were any new version which he happened to come across, he would never get tired of squeezing the new entry into the old ones. He used to make notes while reading. Yet the U.S. benefited greatly from the colonial strife next door. Broke after its Haitian defeat. France sold a large region to the U.S. for $15 million.

It would take six decades for the U.S. to acknowledge Haiti's independence. Meanwhile, Haiti, burdened by its post, independence isolation and the too million francs in payment it was forced to give France for official recognition, began its perilous slide toward turmoil and dependency, resulting in a 19-year U.S. occupation and two subsequent interventions in the past 100 years. Jefferson once presented dire warnings about what might happen to the U.S. political system in a worst-case scenario, but his words turned out to be a more accurate prophecy for America's plundered neighbor: \"The spirit of the times ... will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt ... The shackles ... which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of war will remain on tong, will be made heavier.\" Given a fair chance. Haiti could have flourished and prospered, If that had been the case, this year Haiti would be celebrating the bicentennial of its independence with fewer and lighter shackles. 【参考译文】

美国周边的殖民地争端使其从中获益不少。法国在海地遭遇失败后，财力上捉襟见肘，将一大块地盘以一千五百万美元的代价卖给美国。路易斯安那交易可以算作有史以来购买者获益最丰厚的地产交易了。要不是海地人民高昂的士气和顽强的抵抗使拿破仑头痛不已，他是不会卖掉自己手中的领地的。

美国经过六十年才最终承认海地的独立。而这段时间里，海地承受巨大压力：独立后的孤立无援加之必须向法国支付一亿法郎以换取

法方的正式承认，它开始滑向动荡和丧失主权的危险境地，最终导致美国对它长达十九年的占领和其后一百年中两次入侵。杰弗逊曾经对美国政治体系可能出现的最坏情况进行过警告，但他那些令人心惊胆战的话语恰恰精确地预告了美国身边这个屡遭劫难的邻国所发生的一切：“时代的精神将改变。我们的统治者们将腐朽堕落。我们并没有因为战争的结束而挣脱枷锁，它将继续禁锢我们，而且日益沉重。”海地如果能够得到公平的机会，也许会繁荣兴旺。如果真是这样，今年海地庆祝独立二百周年时，它所戴着的枷锁一定会轻些，少些。 The book shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House---a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor.

本书向我们展示了一个杰出美国人的成长历程。他精力充沛，通过艰苦卓绝的努力，从阿肯色州的霍普镇走到了白宫，完成了一段不可思议的人生历程。他一生的每一阶段都展示出对政治生涯的狂热追求，正是这种追求鼓舞着他走完这段历程：在大学期间，他已经是参议员威廉·富尔布莱特的实习生;在牛津大学，他成为反越战运动的一份子;在耶鲁大学法学院，他参与民主党候选人的基层选举;回到阿肯色州，他竞选过州议会议员，司法部长直至州长。

我们日益了解到他青少年时期所遭受的情感波折：他是父亲去世后降临人世的遗腹子;母亲含辛茹苦，但喜好争吵，继父动辄打骂，他成长在两人岌岌可危的婚姻关系之中;他被一位才华横溢、令人折服的女士所倾倒，下定决心与她步入婚姻殿堂;他从女儿出生起就疼爱有加，尽心尽力地做一个好父亲;青少年时期压抑的痛苦使他后来

偶尔作出一些不利的行为，这样逐渐深入的了解也颇令人感伤。他在父亲的教导下“发愤用功”，其实他读书还是出于喜好，只似馋嘴佬贪吃美食：食肠很大，不择精粗，甜咸杂进。极俗的书他也能看得哈哈大笑。戏曲里的插科打诨，他不仅且看且笑，还一再搬演，笑得打跌。精微深奥的哲学、美学、文艺理论等大部著作，他像小儿吃零食那样吃了又吃，厚厚的书一本本渐次吃完，诗歌更是他喜好的读物。重得拿不动的大词典、辞典、百科全书等，他不仅挨着字母逐条细读，见了新版本，还不嫌其烦的把新条目增补在旧书上。他看书常做些笔记。【参考译文】

I, Shu Sheyu, style myself Lao She. I am a pale and beardless 40-year-old born in Beiping. I became fatherless at the age of 3 when my father died and emperorless at school age when the emperorwas dethroned. Fatherless and emperorless, I was especially filial and respectful to my mother. In my childhood, I read the Book of Songs, making no effort to understand the meaning thoroughly. Years later, I attended a normal school, where I prepared myself to be a teacher/ where I laid a foundation for my career as a teacher. In the prime of my life, I roved hither and thither/ went from one place to another, earning a living by teaching. As fortune seldom came to me, I prided myself on winning the smallest prize every time I bought a lottery ticket, which shows I enjoy myself in leading a poor and humble life. At 27, I made a determined effort to write books. Having achieved no success/ got nowhere with sciences and philosophy, I turned to fiction writing merely to amuse my readers, which is no big feat / did not amount to much. I got married at the age of 34. Now I have a son and a daughter. They are both naughty and lovable. Though an extensive reader withough much gains, I am not upset. I am conscientious in teaching and handling affairs,
