February 2, 1997, our delegation checked into the ZhongXin Hotel by the side of the Riyuetai was already 3 o39。clock early the next morning by the time I saw off the last group of a long time, I could not fall asleep, even though I was fortably lying in the on my clothes again, I got off the bed and walked to the my eyes into the distance through the window, I was greeted by the view of the surrounding mountains and hills shrouded in layered greenness and the silvery flickering of waves scuttling across the surface of the at the sole naturallyformed picturesque lake in Taiwan, I felt an infinite train of thoughts passing through my mind … …The current visit to Taiwan for exchange, brief and cursory as it is, has enabled us to see many places, to visit old friends while making new people gather together, an important topic of discussion has been how the Chinese nation can bee prosperous and powerful in the 21st the young people on the Mainland and in Taiwan live in different social contexts(environments / milieus), with their individually different experiences of life, in the innermost recesses of their hearts are wrought an indelible mark by the fine traditions of the Chinese all cherish the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation(They share the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation).In this great epoch at the turn of the century, our motherland is developing toward greater prosperity and across the Taiwan Straits are bound to strengthen their exchanges and will mutually promote the earliest possible achievement of the great cause of reunification of the precious opportunities and the tremendous challenges at the turn of the century have pushed the young people to the foreground(forefront)of the historical arena(stage).At this transitional phase between the two millennia, in what way the young generation should embrace the forthing new century replete with hopes is a question to which we have to seek an the Riyuetai Lake, the waves across the lake surface have by now all in utter tranquility, the Lake has joined me in deep thoughts … …Section B: Translate the following underlined part of the English text into Chinese（原 文）I agree to some extent with my imaginary English literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for do overphrase their own literature, or certainly its minor Americans do swing from aggressive overphrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary , in fields where they are not preeminentand which is yet a foreign are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities。kinship yields to a sudden alienation, as when we hail a person across the street, only to discover from his blank response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend.（參考譯文）在某種程度上，我贊同我那假想中的英國讀者的觀點(diǎn)。美國文學(xué)史家或許慣于過分狹隘地看待其本國文壇，誤將卓著當(dāng)作獨(dú)特。他們確實(shí)會用過多的筆墨來渲染其本國文學(xué)，至少，對其次要作家他們肯定會這樣做。此外，美國人確實(shí)會走極端，要么咄咄逼人地大肆渲染其文學(xué)，要么進(jìn)行著同樣不幸的亦步亦趨式的頂禮膜拜。但反過來說，英國人自己在其文學(xué)鑒賞中也顯得有些狹隘愚陋。此外，在他們并無上乘表現(xiàn)的領(lǐng)域例如繪畫與音樂，他們也會走極端，不是吹噓他們本國的作品，就是大肆模仿歐洲大陸的作品。有多少幅英國繪畫試圖看上去仿佛是在巴黎完成的；但我們又有多少次曾在文章中讀到它們真正代表著一種“英國式的傳統(tǒng)”呢？那么，要談?wù)撁绹膶W(xué)，倒并非意欲斷言，它與歐洲文學(xué)全然大相徑庭。廣而言之，美國與歐洲一直同步發(fā)展，協(xié)調(diào)一致。在任何一個特定的時刻，旅行者在兩地均能目睹同一樣式的建筑實(shí)例，相同款式的服飾，書架上相同的書籍。在大西洋兩岸，思想如同人員與貨物往來一樣自由交流，盡管有時會略顯遲緩。當(dāng)我提及美國式的習(xí)慣、思想等概念時，我意欲在“美國式的”這一詞匯之前加上某種限定，因?yàn)闅W美（尤其是英美）之間的差異往往只是程度上的差異而已，并且有時候僅僅只是微乎其微的一點(diǎn)程度差異而已。差異的多寡是件極為微妙的事務(wù)，這極容易使一個英國人在審視美國時大惑不解。他所審視的那個國家，從某些重要的意義上來說，誕生于他自己的國家，并在某些方面仍與他自己的國家相差無幾然而，它卻實(shí)實(shí)在在是一個異邦。兩者間存在著某些古怪的交替重迭，以及令人甚感突兀的陌生感；親緣關(guān)系已讓位于一種突如其來的異化與疏遠(yuǎn)，這種情景仿佛就像我們隔著馬路向另一個人打招呼，結(jié)果卻從這個人漠無表情的反應(yīng)中發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們原來竟然錯將生人當(dāng)成了熟人。高等院校英語專業(yè)八級考試樣題Ⅳ（原
