B汉译英/B
I had the illusion that I was driving through one immensely long, narrow farm. The villages and towns were usually perched on the edge, so as not to waste arable soil and because there was a need, before the High Dame tamed the Nile, to live beyond the reach of the annual floods. The road followed the course of the Nile, now passing through the fields, now drawing a black line separating them from the desert.

拍卖行 去年年终，拍卖行经过一年的依法调整，重新焕发出勃勃生机，被国内媒体评为1997年的十大热点行业之一。郑玉祥先生是一位老资格的艺术爱好者，他认为目前拍卖行服务在改善，品种有所增加，品质也有提高。“这些好的转变，主要是在规范过程中拍卖行有序竞争的结果。”他说，“可以明显感觉到，现在通过拍卖进行艺术品交易的人越来越多了。”步入规范的拍卖业同样为其他行业带来契机。据原国内贸易部的有关负责人介绍，国家做出规定，对破产企业首先通过拍卖形式进行处理，今后拍卖将成为国有资产重新配置的重要形式。

At the beginning of the World Series (世界职业棒球大赛)of 1947,I experienced a completely new e-motion, when the National Anthem was played. This time, I thought, it is being played for me, as much as for anyone else. This is organized major league baseball, and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me. About a year later, I went to Atlanta, Georgia, to play in an exhibition game. On the field, for the first time in Atlanta, there were Negroes and whites. Other Negroes, besides me. And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be. And what is it that I have always believed? First, that imperfections are human. But that wherever human-beings were given room to breathe and time to think, those imperfections would disappear, no matter how slowly. I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection. Handicaps, prejudices—all of these are imperfect. Yet, they have to be reckoned with because they are in the scheme of human events. Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder. But it would have been impossible for me to fight that all, except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance. It had a chance because it took place in a free society. Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object. Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all. Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement. I look at my children now, and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.
