UNIT 2

作文

Suggested answer

Mo Yan's recent novel Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out is a bizarre fantasy of a rich landlord and his family set against 50 years of social change in rural China. This fascinating novel is translated into English in 2008.

The landlord Ximen Nao is executed early in the Chinese Revolution. In hell, he refuses to admit his wrongdoing, and Yama, the King of Hell, allows him to return reincarnated in the successive forms of five animals—a donkey, an ox, a pig, a dog and a monkey—so that he can find out his guilt. The animals, each connected to Ximen's family, see the changes in rural China over 1950–2000, but cannot help the family. One strength is how Mo Yan creates exaggerated and absurd scenes which are vivid and humorous, and gives a tragic insight into past situations: When pigs get ill and die villagers try many methods to get rid of the bodies and finally put them in the river. When the donkey dies in the great famine, it is instantly turned into pieces of meat; in more recent times, the monkey has a short life while people ride in luxury cars and wear Rolex watches. This scene shows typical humour: "The loudspeakers blared so loud a farmer's wife had a miscarriage, a pig ran headlong into a wall and knocked itself out, a whole roost of laying hens took to the air, and local dogs barked themselves hoarse."

The main characters are hard-working, stubborn, human and independent; other characters are shown through satire. Ximen's final reincarnation is as a big-headed boy with an unusual memory and a gift for language—possibly an ironic reference to the writer who has appeared in a mocking manner in several scenes in the novel.

Suggested answer:

如今，尽管我们大多数人是因相爱而结婚，婚姻从根本上讲仍然是金钱上的结合。不管是工作的努力

程度，还是决定消费多少或储蓄多少，我们生活中想要得到的——或不想得到的——许多东西归根结底都跟钱有关。对一些人来说，他们想要的就是一周工作80小时来支付第三套房的房款和乡村俱乐部的会员费；而对另一些人来说，他们想缩短上班时间，花更多的时间陪伴家人。

“有关钱的许多争论是提示我们想如何生活的密码，而生活方式的许多选择则与如何花钱密切相关。”宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院的商业及公共政策助理教授贝齐?史蒂文森如是说，他研究婚姻和离婚经济学。

专家们说，夫妻共同做出这些选择是维护婚姻资产及婚姻关系的最重要的方法之一。当然，如果夫妻双方一开始就在钱的问题上看法相似，或者至少能够在钱的问题上相互妥协，那么事情就好办多了。

Suggested answer:

When it comes to the effects of the current economic downturn, the decrease of student

activities is a good case in point. To enliven campus life, the university is always willing to

carve out some money for activities organized by student clubs and societies, but such sponsorships have been pared down this year because of huge budget cut. Apparently,

student organizations need to weather their own financial crisis if they want to recover

from their current state of inactiveness. Some suggest enrolling more club members, on

the ground that the consequent increase of membership fees may help them get out of the difficulty.

No doubt, if we have more members paying the annual fee, and if we cut back on our daily expenses, we can spare some money to organize activities. But the bottom line is that the expenses of these activities are in proportion to the number of participants. I'm afraid this

won't be of much help. To boost student activities and to avoid going into the red, we still

need to pool our ideas and come up with some other ways of raising money, in lieu of just relying on university grants and membership fees.
