Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET.

There is certainly much work which is exceedingly troublesome, and an excess of work is always very painful. 【C1】 I think, however that provided work is not excessive in amount, even the dullest work is to most people less painful than idleness. Accordingly the more intelligent rich men work nearly as hard as if they were poor, while rich women for the most part keep themselves busy with innumerable trifles of whose earth-shaking importance they are firmly persuaded.
【C2】 Work therefore is desirable, first and foremost, as a preventive of boredom, for the boredom that a man feels when he is doing necessary though uninteresting work is as nothing in comparison with the boredom that feels when he has nothing to do with his days. With this advantage of work another is associated, namely that it makes holidays much more delicious when they come. Provided a man does not have to work so hard as to impair his vigour, he is likely to find far more zest in his free time than an idle mail could possibly find.
The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. 【C3】 The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can obtain. However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation, whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work. In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less for fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home. The domesticated wife does not receive wages, and no means of bettering herself, is taken for granted by her husband(who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities.【C4】 Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well- to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors, but such women are comparatively few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much as satisfaction as work of other kinds brings to men and to professional women.
【C5】The satisfaction of killing time and of affording some outlet however modest for ambition, belongs to most work, and is sufficient to make even a man whose work is dull happier on the average than a man who has no work at all. But when work is interesting, it is capable of giving satisfaction of a far higher order than mere relief from tedium.

【答案解析】
问答题 【C5】
【正确答案】多数工作都能使人满意地消磨掉时间,而且给人们实现抱负提供某种令人满意的途径,虽然这途径不起眼。一般说来这种满足足以使一个即使工作枯燥无味的人也比无事可做的人感到快乐。
