填空题Translate the following into Chinese．A nobler want of man is served by nature, namely, the love of Beauty.The ancient Greeks called the world Koomos, beauty. Such is the constitution of all things, or such the plastic power of the human eye, that the primary forms, as the sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, give us a delight in and for themselves: a pleasure arising from outline, color, motion, and grouping. This seems partly owing to the eye itself. The eye is the best of artists. By the mutual action of its structure and of the laws of light, perspective is produced, which integrates every mass of objects, of what character soever, into a well colored and shaded globe, so that where the particular objects are mean and unaffecting: the landscape which they compose is round and symmetrical. And as the eye is the best composer, so light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make beautiful. And the stimulus it affords to the sense, and a sort of infinitude which it has, like space and time, make all matter gay. Even the corpse has its own beauty. But besides this general grace diffused over nature, almost all the individual forms are agreeable to the eye, as is proved by our endless imitations of some of them, as the acorn, the grape, the pine-cone, the wheat-ear, the egg, the wings and forms of most birds, the lion"s claw, the serpent, the butterfly, sea-shells, flames, clouds, buds, leaves, and the forms of many trees, as the palm.All men are in some degree impressed by the face of the world: some men even to delight. This love of beauty is Taste. Others have the same love in such excess, that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms. The creation of beauty is Art.The production of a work of art throws a light upon the mystery of humanity. A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single. Nature is a sea of forms radically a-like and even unique. A leaf, a sunbeam, a landscape, the ocean, make an analogous impression on the mind. What is common to them all, that perfectness and harmony, is beauty. The standard of beauty is the entire circuit of nature forms , the totality of nature: which the Italians expressed by defining beauty "il piu nell"uno. " Nothing is quite beautiful alone: nothing but is beautiful in the whole. A single object is only so far beautiful as it suggests this universal grace. The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musician, the architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce. Thus is Art, a nature passed through the alembic of man. Thus in art, does Nature work through the will of a man filled with the beauty of her first works.The world thus exists to the soul to satisfy the desire of beauty. This element I call an ultimate end. No reason can be asked or given why the soul seeks beauty. Beauty, in its largest and profoundest sense, is one expression for the universe. God is the all-fair. Truth, and goodness, and beauty, are but different faces of the same All. But beauty in nature is not ultimate. It is the herald of inward and eternal beauty, and is not alone a solid and satisfactory good. It must stand as a part, and not as yet the last or highest expression of the final cause of Nature.From R. W. Emerson: Beauty

填空题Translate the following paragraph into Chinese．Write your translation on the Answer Sheet．(北京第二外国语学院2012研，考试科目：基础英语)I climbed heights above Yosemite Valley, California in order to see the splendid granite mountain, Half Dome, in its fullest view. Approaching the edge through the woods I was filled with heightened expectation. I saw the ruin of cabin and my approach caused the alignment of the chimney on this side of the valley with the shorn mountain across the valley. I stopped. Something happened. The stone verticals corresponded, one human-shaped, the other natural. The human site was still engaged in sightseeing. I was on its side. I saw the famous sights through the eyes of the ruin. I had come expecting beauty: I discovered an unexpected dimension to the beauty of the scene.In this experience I had been seeking the aesthetic. I knew I would find it, for I had seen post cards in advance and was following the trail map. The seeking took considerable effort and time. It was a heavy investment. I was not going for the scientific purpose of studying rock formation, or was it for the recreational purpose of exercising my limps in the fresh air, though that exertion added intensity to the experience and was its context.

填空题Translation from English to Chinese．(北京师范大学2008研，考试科目：英语语言文学)The establishment of communication between people belonging to different speech communities has long been an important form of linguistic performance. Under the influence of the Department of "Theoretical and Applied Linguistics" of Karl-Marx University of Leipzig, the word Translation recently made its way into the German language: this word is now often, though not generally used in the German speaking world as an umbrella term for translating and interpreting to denote interlingual communication. Little is known about the beginnings of Translation: it is known only that interpreting, i. e. the oral form of Translation, is older than its written counterpart: under what conditions the first interlingual language contacts took place, however, what factors played a role(commercial, military, political, cultural), and how individual speech communities developed such language contacts, are all questions whose answers are of a largely hypothetical nature and can thus easily get lost in the realm of mythological or theological speculation. This can easily lead to mistaking cause for effect, as for example in the biblical story of the building of the Tower of Babel:"...men were not scattered around because they could not understand one another"s speech. They could not understand one another because they were scattered: in the(Babel)story cause and effect have been turned around".(Wolfram Wilss: The Science of Translation)
