Excerpts from Kissinger

That afternoon, the greatest disappearing act in modern diplomatic history was to unfold. It had all been worked out meticulously in advance between the White House and Pakistan's President Yahya Khan.

The plan worked smoothly. First, Kissinger paid a ninety-minute courtesy call on the President. Next, the word went out, as previously arranged, that the visiting American, exhausted by the long journey, would have to cancel a formal dinner in his honor and would be driven to the eighty-five-hundred-foot-high hill station of Nathia Gali for a brief rest. The next day, July 9, the Pakistan government announced that Kissinger would be forced to extend his stay in Nathia Gali because of "a slight indisposition" --- "Delhi belly", some reporters called it, a common enough problem for fast-moving travelers.

As part of the cover, the trip to Nathia Gali was to be as conspicuous as possible. So a decoy caravan of limousines, flying the flags of the United States and Pakistan and accompanied by a motorcycle escort, rolled through the streets of Islamabad and up into the mountains.

To preserve the fiction, the government kept a steady stream of visitors driving from Islamabad to Nathia Gali to pay their respects to the indisposed traveler. The Chief of Staff of the Pakistan army, the Minister of Defense, and a score of other officials dropped in to inquire about Kissinger's health. All were intercepted by Khan. He'd serve them a cup of coffee and tell them that Kissinger was resting and could not be disturbed.

Actually, Kissinger had never gone to Nathia Gali.

Excerpts from Wilde's The Happy Prince

High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt.

He was very much admired, indeed. "He is as beautiful as a weathercock," remarked one of the Town Councilors who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes; "only not quite so useful, " he added, fearing lest people should think him unpractical, which he really was not.

"Why can't you be like the Happy Prince?" asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon. "The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything."

"I am glad there is someone in the world who is quite happy," muttered a disappointed man as he gazed at the wonderful statue.

"He looks just like an angel," said the Charity Children as they came out of the cathedral in their bright scarlet cloaks, and their clean white pinafores.

"How do you know?" said the Mathematical Master, " you have never seen one."

"Ah! But we have, in our dreams, " answered the children; and the Mathematical Master frowned and looked very severe, for he did not approve of children dreaming.

One night there flew over the city a little Swallow. His friends had gone away to Egypt six weeks before, but he had stayed behind, for he was in love with the most beautiful Reed. He had met her early in the spring as he was flying down the river after a big yellow moth, and had been so attracted by her slender waist that he had stopped to talk to her.

"Shall I love you?" said the Swallow, who liked to come to the point at once, and

the Reed made him a low bow. So he flew round and round her, touching the water with his wings, and making silver ripples. This was his courtship, and it lasted all through the summer.

"It is a ridiculous attachment," twittered the other Swallows, "she has no money, and far too many relations; " and, indeed, the river was quite full of Reeds. Then, when the autumn came, they all flew away.

After they had gone he felt lonely, and began to tire of his lady-love. "She has no conversation," he said, " and I am afraid that she is a coquette, for she is always flirting with the wind. " And certainly, whenever the wind blew, the Reed made the most graceful curtsies. "I admit that she is domestic," he continued, "but I love traveling, and my wife, consequently, should love traveling also."

Domestic Problems in the U.S.

The willingness of the United States general public and its government to bear other burdens for global economic development, for the alleviation of poverty, for resolution of regional issues has seriously eroded since the end of the Cold War.

In part the decline in this willingness has an economic base. With the loss of manufacturing jobs to developing countries, there has been a decline in middle-income opportunities within the United States, increasing the polarization of society into those who earn very high and very low incomes. The decision of American firms to adapt quickly to changing economic circumstances helps keep the firms very vital, but many people are displaced from their jobs.

The displacement of workers as individual firms discard them causes social hardships. This reduces US public support for helping developing countries and increases public demand for aggressive trade policy, especially toward countries that appear to make it difficult for the US to export products and yet enjoy a substantial trade surplus with the United States. In addition, budget pressures in the United States, as in other countries, are weakening the public's willingness to undertake many kinds of financial burdens, both within the United States and abroad.

The political turnovers in the US government and changing political moods make it difficult to sustain continuous long-term relationships between the US government and foreign countries. The lack of clear overall foreign policy goals after the end of the Cold War leaves the US government with no strong determination to counter political pressure groups. In recent decades there has been a growth of single issue pressure groups, often with a modest-sized membership base, that have learned how to develop the relationships with political leaders to become effective in Washington politics because there are few voices enunciating overall interests to counter their influence.

美国普通公众和政府愿意承担其他负担对全球经济的发展，对贫困，对区域问题的解决缓解，因为冷战的结束已经严重侵蚀。

部分以这种意愿的下降有经济基础。与制造业的工作流失到发展中国家，出现了在美国内中等收入的机会减少，增加社会的两极分化为那些谁赚非常高和非常低的收入。美国公司的决定，迅速适应不断变化的经济环境有助于保持企业非常重要的，但很多人都从他们的工作流离失所。

工人的位移为个别企业将它们丢弃造成社会困难。这降低了我们对帮助发展中国

家公众的支持，增加了对积极的贸易政策公共需求，尤其是对出现，使人们难以对我们的出口产品，却仍然可以享受大幅贸易顺差与美国的国家。此外，在美国的预算压力，因为在其他国家，正在削弱公众的意愿进行多种财务负担，无论是在美国和海外。

在我们政府和改变政治情绪的政治失误使其难以维持在我们政府和外国之间连续长期的合作关系。冷战结束后，由于缺乏清晰的整体外交政策目标离开我们的政府，没有坚定的决心来打击政治压力团体。近几十年来一直存在单一的问题压力团体，一个增长往往与一个中等规模的会员基础，已经学会了如何发展与政治领袖的关系，因为很少有声音地阐述整体利益来对抗自己的影响力，成为有效的在华盛顿的政治。

No. 4Neither Asian nor American

It is often said that Asian-Americans are a "model minority," with parents who work 18 hours a day in the family grocery and children who work with equally amazing perseverance in the classroom. At a glance, the evidence seems clear: while the first Asians to come to America lived poorly as farmers, miners and railway workers, we now enjoy one of the highest average incomes in the country. Here at Harvard, 18 percent of the class of 1996 are Asian-Americans, compared to 3 percent of the total U. S. population.We are the most over-represented minority in the highest reaches of academia.

By focusing on this "positive stereotype", however, one neglects the other side of our lives. For many of us --- the second generation --- there is something uncomfortable about being Asian in America. Although many of us appreciate the great sacrifices our parents have made, their economic success somehow represents for us an unsatisfying legacy. We suffer in particular from an endemic identity crisis. We have begun to question the accommodationist ways of our forebears, our quietly studious manner, our narrow priorities and our previous notions of success.

I can tell you of many Asian-Americans, myself included, who have gone through struggles to radically redefine our parents' visions of the American Dream. Many of us are running off the beaten track, turning away from the narrowly professional and technical career paths our parents have raised us to follow. I gave up my own plans for medical school a few months ago to pursue a career in either academics or political journalism. Even now, my mother, my grandparents and several of my relatives continue to urge me to return to the fold of medicine.

我可以告诉你许多亚裔美国人，包括我自己在内，谁已通过斗争去的，从根本上重新定义的美国梦我们的父母的愿景。我们很多人都跑人迹罕至的地方，转离我们的父母提出我们必须遵循的狭隘的专业技术职业道路。我放弃了我自己的计划，医学院在几个月前奉行在任何学者或政治新闻事业。即使是现在，我的母亲，我的祖父母和我的几个亲戚继续敦促我回到医学折。

My Mother's Gift

Susanne Chazin

I grew up in a small town where the elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when children could go home for lunch and find their mothers waiting.

At the time, I did not consider this a luxury, although today it certainly would be. I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, the finger-painting

appreciators and the homework monitors. I never questioned that this ambitious, intelligent woman, who had had a career before I was born and would eventually return to a career, would spend almost every lunch hour throughout my elementary school years just with me.

I only knew that when the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me with a look that suggested I was the only important thing she had on her mind. For this, I am forever grateful.

Some sounds bring it all back: the high-pitched squeal of my mother's teakettle, the rumble of the washing machine in the basement, the jangle of my dog's license tags as she bounded down the stairs to greet me. Our time together seemed devoid of the gerrymandered schedules that now pervade my life.

One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly rehearsed my lines with me, but no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head.

Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still stung, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.

I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.

It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine on the trellis was turning green. Under the huge elm trees, we could see yellow dandelions popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with dabs of gold.

I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the clumps. "I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds," she said, yanking a blossom up by its roots. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden."

"But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful --- even dandelions."

My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it? She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. "All that is true of people too," she added. "Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that."

Believed that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.

"But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. "The narrator's part is every bit as important as the part of a princess."

Excerpts from Michael Harrington's "The Other America"

There are two main aspects of this change. First, there are new definitions of what man can achieve, of what a human standard of life should be. In recent times this has been particularly true since technology has consistently broadened man's potential: it has made a longer, healthier, better life possible. Thus, in terms of what is technically possible, we have higher aspirations. Those who suffer levels of life well below those that are possible, even though they live better than medieval knights or Asian peasants, are poor.

Related to this technological advance is the social definition of poverty. The American poor are not poor in Hong Kong or in the sixteenth century; they are poor here and now, in the United States. They are dispossessed in terms of what the rest of the nation enjoys, in terms of what the society could provide if it had the will. They live on the fringe, the margin. They watch the movies and read the magazines of affluent America, and these tell them that they are internal exiles.

To some, this description of the feelings of the poor might seem to be out of place in discussing a definition of poverty. Yet if this book indicates anything about the other America, it is that this sense of exclusion is the source of a pessimism, a defeatism that intensifies the exclusion. To have one bowl of rice in a society where all other people have half a bowl may well be a sign of achievement and intelligence; it may spur a person to act and to fulfill his human potential. To have five bowls of rice in a society where the majority have a decent, balanced diet is a tragedy.

This point can be put another way in defining poverty. One of the consequences of our new technology is that we have created new needs. There are more people who live longer. Therefore they need more. In short, if there is technological advance without social advance, there is; almost automatically, an increase in human misery, in impoverishment.

有这种变化的两个主要方面。首先，有什么人能达到新的定义，什么是人类的生活标准应该是。在近代以来技术不断扩大了人的潜力是非常真实的：它有更长，更健康，更好的生活。因此，在什么是可能的，我们有更高的期望。那些生活低于可能达到的水平，尽管他们的生活比中世纪的骑士或亚洲的农民，是穷人。

与这种技术进步是贫困的社会定义。美国的穷人在香港或在第十六世纪不差；他们很穷，现在在这里，在美国。他们被剥夺的是其他国家的享受，在什么样的社会可能要将提供。他们生活在边缘，边缘。他们看电影和阅读富裕美国的杂志，这一切告诉他们，他们的内部

一些流亡者，这说明了穷人的感情似乎在讨论贫困定义是的地方。然而，如果这本书指出了美国其他的任何东西，它是这种排斥感是悲观主义的根源，一个失败主义，加剧了排斥。在一个社会里，所有的人都有半碗很可能表明一种成就和智慧有一碗米饭；它可以催人上进，发挥他的潜力。在一个社会里，大多数有一个像样的吃五碗饭，均衡的饮食是一个悲剧。

这一点可以用另一种方式定义贫困。我们的一个新技术的后果是，我们已经创造了新的需求。还有更多的人活得更长。因此，他们需要更多的。总之，如果技术进步没有社会的进步，也几乎是自动的，在人类的苦难；增加，贫困。

(1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关，还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁，西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍，而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚，毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下，他报考了哥伦比亚大学，所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校，“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候，他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密，接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点：后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择，等。

如何做好大学英语六级翻译题

如何做好大学英语六级翻译题 导读：我根据大家的需要整理了一份关于《如何做好大学英语六级翻译题》的内容，具体内容：1、概述教育部最新六级考试大纲（1999年）对翻译的要求是：能借助词典将难度略低于课文的英语短文译成汉语，理解正确，译文达意，译速为每小时300英语单词。能借助词典将内容熟悉的汉语... 1、概述教育部最新六级考试大纲（1999年）对翻译的要求是：能借助词典将难度略低于课文的英语短文译成汉语，理解正确，译文达意，译速为每小时300英语单词。能借助词典将内容熟悉的汉语文字材料译成英语，译文达意，无重大语言错误，译速为每小时250汉字。"英译汉"是从1996年1月起在大学英语四、六级考试中准备采用的新题型之一，至今只在四级考试中出现过。"英译汉"考题安排在阅读理解部分之后，每次考试共5题，分别从阅读理解部分的4篇文章中选择一至两个句子组成一题，每题约20-30个单词。考试时间为15分钟。考试时考生可参阅阅读理解部分的有关文章，以便了解上下文。"英译汉"的评分标准是每题两分，共10分。要求译文全句结构正确、自然、通顺、流畅且符合汉语表达习惯得0.5分，其它1.5分基本分布于句、段的三处难点与要求，每处0.5分，例如词组、被动语态、特殊句型、从句的翻译等。一个句子是否能够正确翻译，取决于对这个句中的一些关键词、词组、句型以及语法结构的正确理解与自然表达。 2、如何进行准备首先要弄清六级翻译考试大纲的内容，评分标准；分析标题，从而找出原则及规律。同时了解一下自己在翻译方面的问题：是词汇量小，语法结构知识掌握不牢靠，还是汉语功能太差，总之

只有找出问题的症结才能做到有针对性地弥补、不足、提高翻译水平。学习翻译方面的基本常识。如："英译汉"的基本标准可归于忠实和通顺两个方面，即忠实于原作的内容及风格；译文必须通顺易懂，符合汉语表达习惯。翻译有直译和意译之分，直译要求译文与原文在词语、语法结构及表达方式上保持一致，而意译则要求摆脱原文形式的束缚而传达原文的内容。但实际翻译中，没有绝对的直译和绝对的意译。相反，直译基础上的意译更接近原文而又符合汉语习惯。掌握英汉两种语言在句法结构及表达方式上的不同，利于迅速提高翻译水平。如：英语多后置定语，而汉语多前置定语；英语状语语序为方式状语+地点状语+时间状语，而汉语则是时间状语+地点状语+方式状语；英语多长句、松散句（句子中心在句首），而汉语多短句、圆周句（句子中心在句末）；英语多非人称名词作主语，而汉语多以人称代词作主语；英语多被动结构，汉语多主动结构；英语多倒装句，而汉语多正常语序句；英语中用于修饰名词的几个形容词常由主观性形容词到客观性形容词的顺序排列，而汉语却相反，离名词最近的常是主观性最强的形容词，最远的是客观性最强的形容词。熟悉"英译汉"时常用的翻译技巧，便于提高翻译的速度和准确度。词汇方面的翻译技巧有：正确选择词义，增加原文中无其形而有其义的词汇，如量词、助词、概括词、时态词、语态词及其它解释性文字；省略词汇，如先行词、系动词、代词、连词、冠词及名词复数形式等；转换词类：词性转换往往体现在派生词、介词及副词身上；正反互译：根据汉语习惯调整句意的不同表达方式：正话反说，反话正说等。语句方面的翻译技巧有：顺译法：按原文词序、结构顺序来译；逆译法：打乱原文词句顺序来译；合译法：把原文中
