填空题 Translate the following passage into Chinese.(苏州大学2009研,考试科目:翻译与写作) During Branwell"s last years, the three sisters published a book of poetry at their own expense(under a pseudonym, for fear of reviewers" bias against females). Even Branwell might have snickered: they sold only two copies. Undaunted, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their pent-up emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition—in reality, less fiction than autobiography! And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne"s Agnes Grey, Emily"s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte"s Jane Eyre. But years of sacrifice for Branwell had taken their toll. Emily took ill at her brother"s funeral and died within 3 months, aged 29: Anne died 5 months later, aged 30: Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been nurtured instead of sacrificed! No one remembers Branwell"s name, much less his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters" tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature. Their sacrificed genius cries out to us that in modern society we must value children not by their physical strength or sexual gender, as we would any mere east of burden, but by their integrity, strength, commitment, courage—spiritual qualities abundant in both boys and girls. China, a nation blessed by more boys and girls than any nation, ignores at her own peril the lesson of the Bronte tragedy.

【正确答案】 1、正确答案: 在布兰韦尔生前最后几年,三姐妹自费出版了一本诗集(用的是笔名,以防编辑们对女性的偏见)。也许连布兰韦尔都在窃笑:她们只卖出了两本。然而姐妹们并不气馁,利用空余时间笔耕不辍,夜深人静时,她们秉烛而书,倾吐她们被幽禁的情怀,抒写她们最熟悉的一切。她们描写了女性天生的追求与社会现状之间的冲突——实际上,她们所写的与其说是小说,倒不如说是自传!于是,19世纪的文坛就因安妮的《艾格尼斯?格雷》、艾米莉的《呼啸山庄》和夏洛蒂的《简?爱》的问世而大大改观了。 然而,多年来牺牲自己扶持布兰韦尔的三姐妹,终于为此付出了沉痛的代价!艾米莉在她弟弟葬礼的那一天得了病,三个月后便离开了人世,年方29岁;5个月后安妮也于30岁芳龄之时长逝;夏洛蒂则只活到了39岁。假若她们能早日得到照顾而不做出牺牲,该有多好啊! 现在,没人记得布兰韦尔的名字。更不用说他的艺术或文学了。然而从勃朗特三姐妹悲剧性的早逝中,我们学到的不仅是文学,更重要的是生命的真谛。她们牺牲了的天分向我们大声疾呼:在现代社会,我们不能像评价驮畜那样,仅仅以体力和性别来评估自己的子女;而必须就正直、能力、责任心、勇气等男孩女孩都具有的精神品质来评价他们。中国,这个有幸拥有世界最多的男孩和女孩的国家,如果不从勃朗特悲剧中吸取教训,就会重蹈覆辙、自食其果。
