【正文】 among his 33 books was The Affluent Society （ 1958） , one of those rare works that forces a nation to reexamine its values. He wrote fluidly, even on plex topics, and many of his pelling phrases among them the affluent society, conventional wisdom and countervailing power became part of the language. An imposing presence, lanky and angular at 6 feet 8 inches tall, Mr. Galbraith was consulted frequently by national leaders, and he gave advice freely, though it may have been ignored as often as it was taken. Mr. Galbraith clearly preferred taking issue with the conventional wisdom he distrusted. Mr. Galbraith, a revered lecturer for generations of Harvard students, noheless always manded attention. From the 1930s to the 1990s Mr. Galbraith helped define the terms of the national political debate, influencing both the direction of the Democratic Party and the thinking of its leaders. He tutored Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic nominee for president in 1952 and 1956, on Keynesian economics. He advised President John F. Kennedy （ often over lobster stew at the LockeOber restaurant in their beloved Boston） and served as his ambassador to India. Though he eventually broke with President Lyndon B. Johnson over the war in Vietnam, he helped conceive of Mr. Johnson’s Great Society progr am and wrote a major presidential address that outlined its purposes. In 1968, pursuing his opposition to the war, he helped Senator Eugene J. McCarthy seek the Democratic nomination for president. In the course of his long career, he undertook a number of government assignments, including the anization of price controls in World War II and speechwriting for Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Kennedy and Johnson. He drew on his experiences in government to write three satirical novels. He took on the Harvard economics department with A Tenured Professor, ridiculing, among others, a certain outspoken character who bore no small resemblance to himself. At his death, Mr. Galbraith was the emeritus professor of economics at Harvard, where he had taught for most of his career. A popular lecturer, he treated economics as an aspect of society and culture rather than as an arcane discipline of numbers. 人事部二級筆譯（ CATTI） 實(shí)務(wù)真題及答案 英譯漢部分 The Gap Between Rich and Poor Widened in .

Those with a fouryear degree made $65,000. Mr. Blevins says he has many reasons to be happy. He lives with his wife, Karla, and their yearold son, Lucas, in a small blueandyellow house in the middle of a stunningly picturesque Appalachian valley. Looking back, I wish I had gotten that degree, Mr. Blevins said in his softspoken lilt. Four years seemed like a thousand years then. But I wish I would have just put in my four years. Why so many lowine students fall from the college ranks is a question without a simple answer. Many high schools do a poor job of preparing teenagers for college. Tuition bills scare some students from even applying and leave others with years of debt. To Mr. Blevins, like many other students of limited means, every week of going to classes seemed like another week of losing money . The system makes a false promise to students, said John T.

It just felt like the natural thing to do. In the summer of 1995, he was moving boxes of soup cans, paper towels and dog food across the floor of a supermarket warehouse, one of the biggest buildings here in southwest Virginia. The
