【正文】 If people mean anything at all by the expression untimely death, they must believe that some deaths run on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimelya long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measure of that life was still to be taken. History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and plete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue. 參考譯文 （ 1） ： 如果人們藉 英年早逝 這一字眼真的意欲表達(dá)什么含義的話，他們必然相信某些人的辭世可以算是壽終正寢，而另一些人則 死不逢時(shí) 。在諸多較為著名的 英年早逝 的情形中，我們會(huì)憶起瑪麗蓮 .夢(mèng)露與詹姆斯 .迪恩斯之死，其生命的短暫絲毫無(wú)損于其生命的完整性。人們定會(huì)相信有些人死亡的時(shí)刻更為適宜。然而，歷史卻否認(rèn)這點(diǎn) ,提起杰出的早逝者，人們定會(huì)億起瑪麗蓮 詩(shī)人約翰 生命的價(jià)值取決于它留給世界的印象、它的貢獻(xiàn)及它的美德。我認(rèn)為最好的釣魚場(chǎng)所不是舒適的、給你準(zhǔn)備好餓魚的垂釣園，而是那極其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的場(chǎng)所。 the second a bination of fisheating and the pleasure (enjoyment) of fishing。勿庸置疑，梭羅不贊成忍饑挨餓，但他在膳食方面所投入的精力僅果腹而已，只要可確保他能去從事更為重要的事務(wù)，他便別無(wú)所求。當(dāng)羅伯特 我們之所以需要它，因?yàn)樵O(shè)若沒有困難，便斷無(wú)游戲可言。這猶如下棋；如果你隨心所欲、心血來(lái)潮地去更改那些全然武斷的游戲規(guī)則，這樣去贏棋當(dāng)然會(huì)更加容易。 一個(gè)春天的傍晚，園中百花怒放，父母在園中設(shè)宴，一時(shí)賓客云集，笑語(yǔ)四溢。 the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to e.

Second, when you arrive at the restaurant, and when you pick up the chopsticks, everything there is new to you. A newly built latrine smells fragrant for the first three days. This may be called the defamiliarization effect. Version 2： It is advisable not to be too romantic on interpersonal matters. Humans are peculiarly interesting so that in their contact with a person, they tend to notice noting but his or her merits. This is rather analogous to our experience of dining in a restaurant. At the beginning, when we take the starter or cold dishes, we are very much impressed. For the first two main courses, we are also profuse in praise. However, we calm down as we eat on. After we finish the feast, all sorts of faults are found. Then we are no longer pleased but angry。單獨(dú)生活對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)最為有趣的事情是，它的回報(bào)越來(lái)越多。 一時(shí)間，屋子變得又空又大，自我不知藏身何處。 2022 年英語(yǔ)專業(yè)八級(jí)考試 翻譯試題及參考譯文 SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH 一個(gè)人的生命究竟有多大意義，這有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可以衡量 嗎？提出一個(gè)絕對(duì)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)當(dāng)然很困難；但是，大體上看一個(gè)人對(duì)待生命的態(tài)度是否嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真，看他對(duì)待勞動(dòng)、工作等等的態(tài)度如何，也就不難對(duì)這個(gè)人的存在意義做出適當(dāng)?shù)墓烙?jì)了。 try to bee him.
