填空题 A good translator is by definition bilingual. The opposite is not {{U}}(1) {{/U}} true, however. A born and bred bilingual will still need two {{U}}(2) {{/U}} to become a translator: first, the skills and experience necessary for {{U}}(3) {{/U}} ; second, knowledge of the field in which he or she will {{U}}(4) {{/U}}. The skills and experience for translation include the ability to write {{U}}(5) {{/U}} in the target language, the ability to read and understand the {{U}}(6) {{/U}} language material thoroughly, and the ability to work with the latest {{U}}(7) {{/U}} and communication hardware and software.Does a born and bred bilingual {{U}}(8) {{/U}} a better translator than someone who learned language B later in {{U}}(9) {{/U}} ? There is no definite answer, but the following issues are important. {{U}}(10) {{/U}} , a born and bred bilingual often suffers from not truly knowing {{U}}(11) {{/U}} language well enough to translate, with some even suffering from what {{U}}(12) {{/U}} known as a lingua-ism, a state in which a person lacks {{U}}(13) {{/U}} full, fluent command of any language. Second, born and bred bilinguals {{U}}(14) {{/U}} don't know the culture of the target language well enough to {{U}}(15) {{/U}} top-quality translations, or cannot recognize what aspects of the source language {{U}}(16) {{/U}} its culture need to be treated with particular care, as they {{U}}(17) {{/U}} in a sense too close to the language.

On {{U}}(19) {{/U}} other hand, the acquired bilingual may not have the sam0e in-depth {{U}}(20) {{/U}} of colloquialisms, slang, and dialect that the born bilingual has. Also, the acquired bilingual will not be able to translate as readily in both directions (from B to language A and A to language B). Finally, born bilinguals often have a greater appreciation of the subtleties and nuances of both their languages than someone who learns their B language later in life can ever hope to have.

填空题 The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people's and nation's wants. The problem we are faced with is that our{{U}} (1) {{/U}}, here identified as money, are{{U}} (2) {{/U}}. The only way we can resolve our{{U}} (3) {{/U}}is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of{{U}} (4) {{/U}}and identify the things we need{{U}} (5) {{/U}}, those we can postpone, and{{U}} (6) {{/U}}we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics — deciding just how to allocate our limited resources to provide ourselves with the greatest{{U}} (7) {{/U}}of our wants. Nations face the same problem. As a country's population{{U}} (8) {{/U}}, the need for more goods and services grows{{U}} (9) {{/U}}. Resources necessary to production may increase, but there are{{U}} (10) {{/U}}enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a{{U}} (11) {{/U}}.

In the 1990s, almost all goods are {{U}}(18) {{/U}}. Only by effort and money can they be{{U}} (19) {{/U}}in the form people wish. Meeting the needs of people and the demands from resources available leads to the basic activity of production. In trying to{{U}} (20) {{/U}}unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.
