and managed to escape. A few minutes later her attacker caught her again and she continued screaming for help while the neighbors watched terrified from their windows and did nothing. They didn’t even call the police. T he woman died of multiple stab wounds ( 多處刺傷).STEP TWOSample 1 I think there are several reasons for that. First, people were rather cowardly and selfish. When they heard someone screaming late at night, they thought that might be dangerous so they just stood back and watched the woman get killed in front of them. They preferred to protect themselves rather than get involved to risk being injured or even killed. Second, they felt that there are already institutions in cities to deal with this kind of problem. They didn’t think they needed to intervene because the police would do something for them. Finally, it is possible that these people were so terrified that they could not think clearly or take action to protect the woman.2 I don’t know. Maybe I would go to the street and try to protect the woman. I think more people would e to help if they realized what was really happening. Maybe I would call the police. But I’m afraid that when the police arrived, she might already have been killed. Or maybe I would be too scared to give any help. I might simply close the window and put my ear plugs in. These are the different things I might do on such an occasion, but I believe it’s most likely that I would call the police.Part Four Writing and Translation2 Translation PracticeLean on Me依 靠 我 吧Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow生活中我們會(huì)有痛苦,會(huì)有悲傷But if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow.然而,聰明的我們明白總有明天(可指望)。Lean on me when you’re not strong當(dāng)你脆弱時(shí),來(lái)依靠我吧And I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on我會(huì)成為你的朋友,會(huì)助你繼續(xù)向前For it won’t be long, till I’m going to need因?yàn)椴粫?huì)很久,我也會(huì)需要Somebody to lean on.有個(gè)人依靠。Please swallow your pride if I have faith you need to borrow假如我的誠(chéng)信你需要,請(qǐng)收起你的驕傲For no one can ill those of your needs that you won’t let show.因?yàn)闆](méi)人能滿足你那不表露的需要。You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand要幫忙時(shí),找我就是了,兄弟We all need somebody to lean on.我們都需要有個(gè)人靠一靠。I just might have a problem that you’ll understand也許我有個(gè)問(wèn)題正好你明白We all need somebody to lean on.我們都需要有個(gè)人靠一靠。3 WritingSampleWhen we need help, we should not hesitate to ask for it. There are two reasons for us to do so. First, sometimes in our lives we all may have pain and sorrow, so we all need somebody to lean on. For example, when we are angry, we need someone who is willing to listen to our plaints and to fort us. Sometimes it is very likely that the one whom you have asked for help may need your help some day in the future. By helping each other, we bee friends. The other reason is that no one can help us if we are too proud to let others know what we want. So next time if we have trouble, if we need somebody to lean on, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Likewise, when one day someone else needs our help lend them a hand or let them lean on us.
