下面是川大10年MTI試題的翻譯題,我是非英語專業的,自己翻譯出來的總覺得不好,還有些句子根本就不會翻,又找不到人和我一起交流,所以才在這里發貼,希望大家能幫幫我呀。所謂獨學而無友,則孤陋而寡聞,大家多交流交流吧,只翻一段也行,在此先謝過了~

For the Greeks, beauty was a virtue: a kind of excellence. Persons then were assumed to be what we now have to call--lamely, enviously-- whole persons. If it did occur to the Greeks to distinguish between a person's "inside" and "outside," they still expected that inner beauty would be matched by beauty of the other kind. The well-born young Athenians who gathered around Socrates found it quite paradoxical that their hero was so intelligent, so brave, so honorable, so seductive-- and so ugly. One of Socrates' main pedagogical acts was to be ugly-- and to teach those innocent, no doubt splendid-looking disciples of his how full of paradoxes life really was. They may have resisted Socrates' lesson. We do not. Several thousand years later, we are more wary of the enchantments of beauty. We not only split off--with the greatest facility--the 'inside" (character, intellect) from the "outside" (looks); but we are actually surprised when someone who is beautiful is also intelligent, talented, good.

Frankly speaking, Adam, I created Eve to tame you. Indeed she is wiser than you because she knows less but understands more. Charm is her strength just as your strength is charm. Doubtless you are active, eager, passionate, variable, progressive and original but she is passive, stable, sympathetic and faithful. In other words you are like animals which use up energy, whereas she is like the plants which store up energy. Henceforth you have got to get along with her willy-nilly in sun and rain, joys and sorrows, peace and turbulence. For you the Rubicon has been crossed. It is up to you now to make the situation a blessing or a curse. I would refuse to entertain any more request from you to take her back.

維持生命必須的食物有三類。一是碳水化合物。碳水化合物廣泛存在于動、植物,包括糖、淀粉及纖維分子(cellulose),為人類提供能量。碳水化合物還能合成生物過程所必須的葡萄糖和酶(enzymes)。二是脂肪。脂肪是比碳水化合物更為“濃縮”的食物能量,但是,它只作為儲存能量而不是立即可用的能量。三是蛋白質。蛋白質是由含碳、氫、氧和氮元素的大分子組成的。蛋白質主要不是用于提供能量,而是組成生命所必須的結構物質。
