填空题Fulfill the seven-fold task as follows and answer all the questions in ENGLISH concisely ?(cited Chinese examples not included)(浙江大学2010研，英语翻译与写作) (1)What is the given ST type? (2)What is the translation method that you intend to adopt?Why? (3)Render the ST into the TT in English accordingly． (4)How did you understand“茶居”and“茶楼”and tell them apart in the TL?Why? (5)How did you understand“女墙”?Show your translated version． (6)How did you enable English readers to appreciate these elegant and leas elegant names(especially underlined parts)for“ 发记茶居 ”，“ 昌源茶室 ”and“ 望江楼 ”，“ 临江茶室 ”and“ 清心茶座 ”respectively?Just show your translated names． (7)How did you treat“叹”in the related underlined phrases?State your reason briefly． ST： 在广东水乡， 茶居 是一大特色。每个村庄，百步之内，必有一茶居。这些茶居，不像广州的大 茶楼 ，可容数百人；每一小“居”，约莫只容七八张四方桌，二十来个茶客。 茶居的建筑古朴典雅，小巧玲珑，多是一大半临河，一小半倚着岸边。临河四周也是松树皮编成的 女墙 ，可凭栏品茗。 茶居的名字，旧时多用“ 发记 茶居”、“ 昌源 茶室”之类字号。现在，水乡人也讲斯文，常常可见“ 望江楼 ”、“ 临江 茶室”、“ 清心 茶座”等雅号。 水乡人饮茶，又叫“叹”茶。那个“叹”字，是广州方言，含有“品茶”和“享受”之意。不论 “叹”早茶或晚茶 ，水乡人都把它作为一种享受。他们一天辛勤劳作后，“叹”一盅茶，去去心火，便是紧张生活的一种缓冲。我认为 “叹”茶的兴味 ，未必比酒淡些，它也可以达到“醺醺而不醉”的境界。

填空题Translating the following part of the English essay into Chinese．(浙江大学2008研，考试科目：英语翻译与写作)Sanity of True GeniusSo far from the position holding true, that great wit(or genius, in our modern way of speaking)has a necessary alliance with insanity, the greatest wits, on the contrary, will ever be found to be the sanest writers. It is impossible for the mind to conceive of a mad Shakespeare. The greatness of wit, by which the poetic talent is here chiefly to be understood, manifests itself in the admirable balance of all the faculties. Madness is the disproportionate straining or excess of any one of them. " So strong a wit, " says Cowley, speaking a poetical friend." His judgment like the heavenly moon did show, The ground of the mistake is, that men, finding in the raptures of the higher poetry a condition of exaltation, to which they have no parallel in their own experience, besides the spurious resemblance of it in dreams and fevers, impute a state of dreaminess and fever to the poet. But the true poet dreams being awake. He is not possessed by his subject, but has dominion over it.

填空题Anyone paying attention to the debate over Social Security has heard a litany of dates. There's 2018, when the program is expected to start taking in less in taxes than it pays out in benefits. And there's 2042 (or 2052 by some estimates), when its trust fund is supposed to run out of money. (41)___________________ For years, the government has collected more in Social Security taxes than it needed to pay current benefits, Those excess collections are credited to the Social Security Trust Fund, ostensibly to pay future retirees. But there is no actual money in the fund. Instead, the government spends the money for other purposes and issues the fund IOUs. In 2009, the shell game begins to end. The amount by which Social Security taxes exceed benefits starts to shrink. (42)___________________ The problem could have been avoided, and it still could be reduced. If the rest of the budget was in good shape--and particularly if the government bad staved on the path it was on five years ago of buying down the national debt--lawmakers could simply re-borrow the money to pay benefits. They could have a leisurely debate over what, if anything, else to do. (43)___________________ This raises a question: If the biggest immediate problem of Social Security is that it will soon make the deficit worse, wouldn't it be better to address the underlying deficit? In other words--as the Bush administration embarks on a 60 day, 60 stop tour to promote Social Security overhaul--are we really debating the right problem? (44)___________________ The money that has been borrowed, or is projeced to be borrowed, in Fresident Bush's two terms alone would come close to solving Social Security's solvency problems for at least the next 75 years. The Office of Management and Budget projects cumulative borrowing of $2. 6 trillion. The Social Security Administration estimates that $3.7 trillion would shore up the program until at least 2080. (45)___________________. Exploding Medicare and Medicaid costs, the loss of revenue because of the recent tax cuts and likely changes in the alternative minimum tax (AMT) present a bleak outlook over the next 10 years. Making the Bush tax cuts permanent and fixing the AMT could lead to deficits of about $650 billion to $750 billion by the middle of the next decade.A. By 2018--sooner, if private accounts are created--the flow reverses. Instead of spending a surplus, the government will need to begin paying off its IOUs. Absent large tax hikes or spending cuts, already astronomical deficits will skyrocket.B. The bottom line is that Washington, through profligate borrowing and policies that lock in red ink for years to come, is passing the burden to future generations. ,And the problem is getting worse.C. But the most important date will arrive sooner in 2009. That's when the cost of paying benefits to the first wave of retiring baby boomers will begin exposing the accounting gimmickry that is the true driver of the Social Security "crisis." To the extent a crisis exists, it is not really about Social Security. It is about decades of irresponsible budgeting that threatens future retirees.D. As bad as the current record deficits look ($427 billion this year alone), they likely will get worse in the next decade as the result of fiscal time bombs hard-wired into government spending and tax plans.E. Left unchecked, chronic deficits will more than offset any good that comes out of Social Security reform. Deficits make the government more beholden to its creditors, many of them foreign. As the national debt surges, so does the portion of the budget dedicated to paying interest on that debt.F. But that is not an option given the dire budgetary situation. Social Security will soon become a drain on a government already under tremendous fiscal stress. It's the difference between having a zero balance on your credit card and being at your credit limit. If you're maxed out, you lose the flexibility to take on new debt to deal with an expense.G. This is not to say Social Security reform--with or without the private accounts proposed by Bush --is not worthwhile. But it is only one of many necessary steps to put the nation on a sound fiscal footing and ensure that future generations will have a reasonably comfortable retirement.
