【正确答案】A well-educated person is like a professionally trained Peking opera singer. While undergoing the {raining, he must observe a most exact discipline. He must pay equal attention to singing, acting and acrobatic skills, and learn to play different roles. It is not until he has finished the all-round training that he begins to develop his own specialty according to his personal disposition. Laying a solid foundation for learning will be of great life-long benefit to you. Of all the school subjects during the preliminary stage of learning, languages and mathematics are the most important. Languages serve as a tool for reading and communication. Without a good knowledge of Chinese, you will find it difficult to express yourself. Without a good knowledge of foreign language, you will find it difficult to absorb new knowledge from abroad.

【答案解析】[名师点津]
1．第2句中的undergoing意为“经历，遭受，忍受”，很好地诠释了科班演员接受训练的艰辛过程，无论是接受训练的广度上还是训练强度上都要比receive要好。
2．第3句的“it is not until that…”句型用得非常到位，明确全方位训练与单独发展的先后顺序；disposition 意为“位置，形势，阵地”，此处喻指其兴趣爱好定位，从字面意思理解，似乎与其剧团角色分配有关，可谓一语双关。
3．原文中的“阅读达意”应理解为阅读和传达意思，译为reading and communication，因为communication有“交流”之意，且强调双方信息的交互性。有译者可能会按字面意思译成express the idea，强调单方面的行为，没有communication生动。
4．最后两句在翻译的时候运用了排比句，without…．you will…；without…you will…，句式统一，意思上层层递进，说服力较强。
