填空题 In this part,you are asked to translate the following paragraph into Chinese.Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.(中国矿业大学2009研,考试科目:基础英语)The Appeal of Life Is Beautiful is perhaps not so puzzling after all. The archetypal story of a father"s sacrifice for his family has evidently proved irresistible to many spectators whose sensibilities have often been molded by such simple entertainment cliches and who seek, not the bitter historical truths of the Holocaust, but consoling evasions.
