專業英語
I. 詞匯與語法,1分一個,20個。大多都是專四專八的難度。 II. 改錯,1分一個,10個。貌似是鄒姐書的原題。 改錯前:
The old-age paternalism of southern Canadians over Eskimos has died more slowly in the rural villages where Eskimos have been more reluctant to voice their opinions aggressively. This has been a frustration in government officials trying to develop local leadership among the Eskimos, however a blessing to other departments whose plans have been received without local obstruction. In rural areas the obligations of kinship often ran counter the best interests of the village and potential leaders were re- strained from making positive contributions to the village coun- cil. More recently, therefore, the educated Eskimos have been voicing over the interests of those in the rural areas. They are trying out to persuade the government to recognize the rights of full-time hunters, by protecting their territories from mining and oil prospectors, for example. The efforts of this active minority is percolating through to the remoter villages whose inhabitants are becoming increasingly vocal. Continuing change is inevitable but future development poli- cy must recognize that most Eskimos retain much of its traditional outlook on life. New schemes should focus on resources that the Eskimos are used to handling, rather than enterprises such as mining. 改錯后:

New schemes should focus on resources that the Eskimos are used to handling, as the Port Burwell projects have done, rather than on enterprises such as mining.

英譯漢:
1. Sitting on a grassy grave, beneath one of the windows of the church, was a little girl. With her head bent back she was gazing up at the sky and singing, while one of her little hands was pointing to a tiny cloud that hovered like a golden feather above her head.
2. Somewhere in our early education we become addicted to the notion that pain means sickness. We fail to learn that pain is the body's way of informing the mind that we are doing something wrong, not necessarily that something is wrong.
3. No alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me but that one; no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt me sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. (馬克吐溫的作品)
4. The Great Depression gave rise to the fear that such catastrophes would recur or even that the American economy would live in a state of permanent depression unless radical changes were made in the economic system.
漢譯英:
事業上的進取與物欲上的貪婪,是兩種截然不同的人生觀,或可說是兩種內涵迥異的苦樂觀。但有一點是共同的,即人生的道路并非平坦的康莊大道,事物的發展往往不以人的意志為轉移。與其陶醉在“夢想成真”的幻覺中,莫若在實踐中多多磨礪自己,有道是“蒼天不負有心人”嘛!即或如此,也未必事事天遂人愿。總之,有追求必有煩惱,這就是生活的實際。 V. 寫作,40分。探討competition和cooperation。
