Part 5: Passage Translation (40 points)
Section A: Translate the following passage from English to Chinese.
The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.
Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work.
Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That's not up to the opportunity. That's up to you. It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.
Section B: Translate the following passage from Chinese to English.
徐霞客一生周游考察了十六個省,足跡幾乎遍及全國。他在考察的過程中,從來不盲目迷信書本上的結(jié)論。他發(fā)現(xiàn)前人研究地理的記載有許多很不可靠的地方。為了進行真實細(xì)致的考察,他很少乘車坐船,幾乎全靠雙腳翻山越嶺,長途跋涉;為了弄清大自然的真相,他總是挑選道路艱險的山區(qū),人跡稀少的森林進行考察,發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多奇山秀景;他常常選擇不同的時間和季節(jié),多次重游各地名山,反復(fù)觀察變換的奇景。
