While history once showed its

3、 close relationship with literature and philosophy, the emerging social sciences seemed to afford greater opportunities for asking new questions and providing rewarding approaches to an understanding of the past. Social science methodologies had to be adapted to a discipline governed by the primacy

4、of historical sources rather than the imperatives of the contemporary world. During this transfer traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study.(25 points)2 Since Darwin biologists have been firmly co

5、nvinced that nature works without plan or meaning, pursuing no aim by the direct road of design. But today we see that this conviction is a fatal error. Why should evolution exactly as Darwin knew it and described it be planless and irrational? Do not aircraft design engineers work at precisely that

Can we say that there is no process of natural s

7、election when nuclear physicists through thousands of computer operations try to find out which materials in which combinations and with what structural form are best suited to the building of an atomic reactor? They also practise no designed adaptation but work by the principle of selection. But it

13、，体察别人的需要，虚心接受批评的能力。善于处理人际关系的人敢于承认错误，敢于承担自己的责任，这是对待错误的一种成熟和负责任的态度。这就是为什么许多平平庸庸的公司雇员在大调整中保住了位置，而有才能的人反而下岗。因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系，所以八面玲珑，到处有缘。而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。碰到错误，他们首先想到自己，拒不承认自己有错，或情绪低落或大发雷霆，成为有刺的人，难以相处。(35 points)2013 年宁波大学英语翻译基础真题试卷答案与解析英译汉1 【正确答案】 历史学家对历史的定义都有各自的界定，但现代历史学家的研究趋向于把历史看作是在还原过去发生的重大历史事件并对其做出

14、解释。由于受自身时代及地位的限制，每一代历史学家都在重新定义对于过去的历史来说什么才是最重要的。人们对历史方法的兴趣并不是由外部对历史作为一门学科合法性地位的挑战引起的，而是源于历史学家自己的内部争论。历史曾经与文学以及哲学的关系很密切，但新兴的社会科学似乎提出了新的问题并为理解过去的历史提供了有益的解决方法。当然，社会科学方法论必须调整以受历史资源支配，而不是受当代世界需要的制约。在这个转变中，那些解读历史研究新材料的新方法充实了传统的历史研究方法。2 【正确答案】 自达尔文之后，生物学家们一直深信大自然的运行是没有计划、没有意义的，不会按照设定的路线实现特定的目的。但今天，我们认识到这种看

15、法是一个严重的错误。为什么进化正是按照达尔文所了解和描述的那样既没有计划也没有逻辑呢? 飞机设计工程师为了在风洞中选择运转最好的一个模型，要对大量根据统计数据制造的模型的可靠性进行测试，这时候，设计师们不正是根据同样的进化理论，来进行精细的测量与计算的吗?核物理学家要通过上千台计算机来找出哪些材料，以什么样的结合方式以及要具备什么样的结构形式才能与核反应堆的建造相匹配，我们难道可以说在这过程中没有自然选择吗?他们在调整适应的时候没有做任何计划，但他们是根据选择原理来工作的。但任何人都不会说他们的方法毫无系统与逻辑可言。3 【正确答案】 本届政府重新执政之后，在很短的时间里，采取了一系列措施来稳

16、定局势。首先，我们审视了当前的国情，确定了国家顽疾的根源，避免因循守旧。第二，我们实施了缜密严谨的政策，以实现经济的稳定增长、产业的现代化以及公私支出之间适当的平衡。第三，我们没有延续上届政府前几年的一贯措施，没有因为惊慌失措而采取一些只是查补漏洞的措施，因此我们重新获得了国际信誉。由于采取了这些及时的措施，并得到了一如既往拥护我们的人民的巨大努力，在这些举措的激励之下，我们经受住了风雨的考验，驶进了平静的海域，进入到了经济发展、社会重组的新时期。汉译英4 【正确答案】 We will hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese c

24、personal skill dares to admit his mistakes and shoulder his responsibility, which is a mature and responsible manner towards mistakes. This is why many mediocre employees can keep their position but those talented people are being laid off when there is an extensive readjustment in the company. And

25、those mediocre ones intend to build close relationship with others thus getting lots of friends. But those with poor interpersonal skills actually are unable to accept being criticized. When confronted with faults in the job, they firstly consider themselves faultless and they may be either depressed or furious. Thus, they are considered to be too capricious to deal with.
