填空题Translate the following English passage into Chinese．Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET． (对外经济贸易大学2013研，考试科目：基础英语)You may have learned that in June 2007, the U. S. Government began to investigate BAE Systems for a possible violation of the Business Practices and Reports Act. This law replaced the Anti-Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which was commonly known as the anti-bribery law. The intent is to enhance the image of the United States, and reduce the cost of doing business by reducing bribery by U. S. exporting companies. The primary means of enforcement is by the record-keeping requirements that are built into the law.Essentially, this law makes it illegal for U. S. exporters to bribe foreign officials to do something that is not one of their normal functions. Of course, the definitions of bribe, foreign official, and other terms are critical. It is legal to give a small payment to a foreign customs inspector to get your shipment cleared expeditiously. The small payment would not be considered a bribe, the customs inspector would not be considered a foreign official(not high enough in the hierarchy), and clearing your shipment expeditiously is a normal function for inspectors. It is not legal to give the brother of the minister of health several thousand dollars to bring about the purchase of your line of antibiotics. If your foreign sales agent pays a bribe and you didn"t know about it, you can be held accountable if the Department of Justice believes that you should have known about it.Most U. S. Government officials have understood that not being able to offer bribes puts U. S. firms at a competitive disadvantage with regard to firms of other countries. Therefore, the law has not been enforced very diligently(and it is a hard one to enforce anyway). Still, there have been major convictions with regard to, for example, selling aircraft to the Netherlands and selling petroleum equipment to Mexico. Other countries have been joining the United States in trying to reduce corruption. This has been a subject of interest in international trade agreements for the past 60 years.In 1998, the Anti-Bribery and Fair Competition Act was passed. Essentially, it directs the U. S. government to try to reduce the amount of corruption on a worldwide basis. The more successful this effort is, the less need there will be for American companies to engage in corrupt practices. This will be good for nearly everyone except those who have been receiving the bribes.

填空题English-Chinese Translation．(四川大学2013研，考试科目：基础英语)And, consequently, Marx was the best-hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow-workers—from the mines of Siberia to California, in all parts of Europe and America—and I make bold to say that though he may have had many opponents he had hardly one personal enemy.

填空题Translation from Chinese into English．(西安电子科技大学2008研，考试科目：英语语法与翻译) 兴教寺是我国古代著名翻译家、旅行家玄奘法师长眠之地，位于西安城南约20公里处。 玄奘从印度取经回来后，倾注全部心血译经19年，不幸积劳成疾于公元663年圆寂于玉华宫(在今陕西铜川市)。玄奘去世后，遗体运回长安，安葬在东郊白鹿原上。白鹿原地势很高，站在皇宫内的含元殿就能看到。高宗十分敬重玄奘，当初听到玄奘逝世的噩耗，曾罢朝致哀，连连哀叹：“朕失国宝矣。”因此每当看到白鹿原上玄奘的茔墓，高宗都禁不住心伤泪下。他想长期这样下去必然有损自己的身体健康，于是诏令将玄奘的遗骨于公元669年迁葬到远离长安城的少陵原上，同时修建了寺院。唐肃宗为玄樊的舍利塔亲自题写了塔额“兴教”二字。意思是要继承玄奘的事业，大兴佛教。从此，这个寺院就叫做兴教寺。 唐末，兴教寺因战乱被烧毁，唯一幸存的玄奘和他俩位弟子的舍利塔，现在的兴教寺是1922年和1939年重修的。建国后，人民政府又多次拨款整修这座唐代名刹。现在兴教寺是全国重点文物保护单位。 大雄宝殿内的铜像是明代遗物。另一玉佛是缅甸赠送的。佛像前的点心、炸食都是当地群众来寺院上香时摆的供品。我国宪法明文规定，公民有信仰宗教的自由，因而兴教寺香火四季不断。

填空题Translate the following passage into Chinese．Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET．(中山大学2013研，考试科目：基础英语)Carrara, shut in by the great hills, is a very picturesque town in Italy. Few tourists stay there: and the people are nearly all connected, in one way or another, with the mining of marble. There are also villages among the caves, where the workmen live. It contains a beautiful little Theatre, newly built: and it is an interesting custom there, to form the chorus of laborers in the marble mines, who are self-taught and sing by ear. I heard them in a comic opera, and in an act of "Norma" : and they performed remarkably well:unlike the common people of Italy generally, who(with some exceptions among the Neapolitans)sing terribly out of tune, and have very disagreeable singing voices.Neapolitans: 那不勒斯人

填空题Translate the following into Chinese．(北京师范大学2007研，考试科目：基础英语)It is essential for our apprentice to remember that, though he begins with the vilest hack-work—writing scoffing paragraphs, or advertising pamphlets, or free-lance snippets for the papers—that even in hack-work quality shows itself to those competent to judge:and he need not always subdue his gold to the lead in which he works. Moreover, conscience and intent are surprisingly true and sane. If he follows the suggestions of his own inward, he will generally be right. Moreover again, no one can help him as much as he can help himself. There is no job in the writing world that he cannot have if he really wants it. Writing about something he intimately knows is a sound principle. Hugh Wal-pole, that greatly gifted novelist taught school after leaving Cambridge, and very sensibly began by writing about school teaching. If you care to see how well he did it, read The Gods and Mr. Perrin. I would propose this test to the would-be writer:Does he feel, honestly, that he could write as convincingly about his own tract of life(whatever it may be)as Walpole wrote about that boy"s school? If so, he has a true vocation for literature.The first and most necessary equipment of any writer, be he reporter, advertising copy-man, poet, or historian, is swift, lively, accurate observation. And since consciousness is a rapid, shallow river which we can only rarely dam up deep enough to go swimming and take our ease, it is his positive need(unless he is a genius who can afford to let drift away much of his only source of gold)to keep a note-book handy for the sieving and skimming of this running stream. Samuel Butler has good advice on this topic. Of ideas, he says, you must throw salt on their tails, or they fly away and you never see their bright plumage again. Poems, stories, epigrams, all the happiest freaks of the mind, flit by on wings and at haphazard instants. They must be caught in the air...
