3、 much like an animal chasing its own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it. Fame and the exhilarating celebrity that accompanies it, force the famous person to participate in his or her own destruction. Ironic isnt it?Those who gain fame most often g

4、ain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same

5、 style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The de

6、mand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success, fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing, etc. , the audience may turn away and look to confer fleeting fickle fame on another and then, in time, on another, and so on and so on. We

7、ll then, why does anyone want fame? Do you? Do you want to be known to many people and admired by them? Do you want the money that usually comes with fame? Do you want the media to notice everything you do or say both in public and in private? Do you want them hounding you, questioning you and tryin

8、g to undo you? It is very obvious that to be famous is to be the target of everyone who disagrees with you as well as of the media. Fame turns all the lights on and while it gives power and prestige, it takes the you out of you: you must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or

9、could be.汉译英32 由于古往今来世界上大多数人的婚姻是以完全不同的原则为基础的，所以，好的婚姻需要平等这种说法是没有什么意义的。从美国奇高的离婚率，也可以得出这样的结论：在婚姻中期待彼此尊重、夫妻和谐已不大容易，指望获得两性平等、实现自我更是难上加难。或许问题并不在于平等不平等，而在于仅仅最近数十年来所发生的文化巨变，使人们不可避免地对婚姻产生矛盾的态度。在今天的许多婚姻中，男人仍在某种程度上占据主导地位，妇女不得不屈于遵从。从传统上看，这些婚姻总是在强势的一方对依附的一方产生厌烦情绪时宣告结束。哈莉特纽曼 科恩二十年前开始从事婚姻方面的法律工作时，她的当事人大多是由于挣钱养家的丈夫

10、离开而被抛弃的妇女。而现在科恩和其他人都注意到，往往是弱势的一方不甘于其不再被文化认可的角色而提出结束婚姻。而且，自从 80 年代通过了财产公平分割法，迫使收人高的配偶与对方平分财产，离婚就再也不遭受任何经济上的损失了。如今，提出离婚的人当中，女子和男子人数基本相当。而且，不忠行为也不再仅仅限于男人。一位离了婚的投资银行家发现，在他的男性朋友圈子里，不忠的是妻子，而不是他的这些朋友。他说：“在我们的公司文化中，有外遇和酒后驾车一样，都是不良行为，都会损坏员工的名誉。”2013 年苏州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】 莫言的黑色幽默2 【正确答案】 文化逆差3 【正确答案

14、、绘画或写作等。一个成功的表演者发展了一种雄踞市场的风格因而受到欢迎。正是由于这种受欢迎程度才使得他继续保持这种风格，因为这种风格是大众需要和喜爱的。可随着时间流逝，歌手为年复一年地以同样的方式唱同样的歌而感到心烦，画家为画类似的风景人物而感到厌倦，演员为反复演同样的角色而疲惫不堪。公众的需求令艺术家们不得不受制于自己获得的成功和名气。若他们企图改变自己的笔调、舞步、唱腔，听众或观众便会舍他而去，把稍纵即逝的名誉转移给别人，随后又转移给另一人，如此不停地转下去。那么，人们为什么要追求声誉呢?你追求声誉吗? 你希望许多人都知道你、赞赏你吗?你想要得到伴随声誉而来的金钱吗? 你想要媒体注意你在公开

15、或私下场合的一言一行吗?你想让他们追逐着你，向你提问，想办法毁掉你吗? 非常明显，你要出名就得成为反对你的每个人以及媒体的目标。声誉把一切灯光打亮，一边给你权力和威望，另一边也把“ 你” 赶出你的自身之外：你必须成为大众心目中的你，而不是那个真实的你或者可能成为的你。汉译英32 【正确答案】 It makes no sense to say that a good marriage requires parity, as most marriages in the world and throughout history have been based on entirely differen

16、t principles. You might even conclude from Americas unusually high divorce rate that the expectation of equality and personal fulfillment is itself a more problematic prescription than that of honor and obedience.Or perhaps the problem lies not in equality, but in the ambivalence that inevitably sur

17、rounds a titanic cultural shift only decades old. Many women today still sign up for marriages in which the man, to some extent, dominates. Traditionally those marriages have ended when the stronger party tires of the dependent. When Harriet Newman Cohen began practicing matrimonial law three decade

18、s ago, her clients were mostly women whose breadwinners had walked out. But she and others have observed that today, it is as often the weaker party who calls it quits, tired of a role that is no longer culturally sanctioned. And, once equitable distribution laws which forced the higher-earning spou

19、se to share the wealth equitablywere passed in the 80s, there was no longer any financial penalty for divorce.Today, almost as many women as men file for divorce. Infidelity, in addition, is no longer a primarily male province. One divorced investment banker discovered that, within his circle of male friends, it was their wives who cheated, not they. “ In the culture of my firm, having affairs is just bad behavior, like drunk drivingsomething that could harm your reputation,“ he says.
