Section VII English-Chinese Translation

Choose one of the following three passages and translate it into Chinese. (40 points)

(1)

The United Kingdom is a monarchical (

君主政体的

) State. It is one of the

independent members of the Commonwealth (the Queen is recognized as head of the

Commonwealth), and a member of the European Community.

The origins and traditions of the United Kingdom are to be found in each of the four

parts that make up the country: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

England was united as a kingdom a thousand years ago, and Wales became part of the

kingdom during the middle ages. The thrones (

王位

) of England and Scotland were

united in 1603, and in 1707 legislation passed in the two countries provided for the

establishment of a single Parliament of Great Britain with supreme authority both in

England and Wales and in Scotland. Ireland had had links with the kingdom of

England since the thirteenth century, and in 1800 the creation of the United Kingdom

was completed by a union joining the Irish Parliament to that of Great Britain. In 1922

Southern Ireland (now the Irish Republic) became a self-governing country. The six

counties of Northern Ireland had in 1920 been given their own subordinate Parliament,

and voted to remain within the United Kingdom.

with an elected

chamber comprising members from English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland

therefore represents people sharing very varied

backgrounds and traditions. It has ultimate authority for government and law-making,

but administrative arrangements have developed in such a way as to take account of

the particular needs of different areas.

England and Wales on the one hand and Scotland on the other have different systems

of law, different court systems, different education systems, different systems of local

government and, for most domestic matters, different government departments.

(2)

As more people live closer together, and as they use machines to produce leisure, they

find that their leisure, and even their working hours, become spoilt by a by-product of

their machines

—

namely, noise. Noise is nowadays in the news; it has acquired

political status, and public opinion is demanding, more and more insistently, that

something must be done about it.

To control noise is to demand much self-discipline (annoyance arises often from lack

of common courtesy), a sense of proportion (there is usually a conflict of interest if a

noise is to be stopped), the expenditure of money (and it is far more economical to do

this early rather that late), and finally, technical knowledge.

Technical difficulties often arise from the subjective-objective nature of the problem.

You can define the excessive speed of a motor-car in terms of a pointer reading on a

speedometer. But can you define excessive noise in the same way? You find that with

any existing simple “noise

-mete

r”, vehicles which are judged to be equally noisy may

show considerable difference on the meter.

Though the ideal cure for noise is to stop it at its source, this may in many cases be

impossible. The next remedy is to absorb it on its way to the ear.

Domestic noises may perhaps be controlled by forethought and courtesy, and

industrial noises by good planning and technical improvement. But if we are going to

allow fast motor-cycles and heavy diesel lorries to pass continuously trough

residential and business districts, the community must decide on the control it needs

to exercise, for in the long run it has got to pay for it. And if a nation is to take part in

modern air transport, it must enter into international agreements on the noise control

measures it will impose at its airports

—

and here the cost of any real control is to be

measured in millions of dollars.

About 350 years ago Galileo made a telescope and looked through it at the sun. What

he saw both surprised and frightened him, for he saw dark spots on the sun which at

once suggested to him that God had not made the world quite as perfect as he had

previously believed. He hesitated to make his discovery known. Meanwhile other

scientists noticed the same lack of solar perfection and proclaimed (

宣布

) the fact.

But Galileo continued his observations and was soon rewarded with another discovery.

Fixing his attention on a single sunspot (

太阳黑子

) group, he noticed that in a few

days it had moved in position, just as if the sun itself were turning. Afterwards he
