No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am

3、I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance of flesh and bone, fiber and liquidsand I might even said to possess a mind. I am invisible; understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have bee

4、n surrounded by hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imaginationindeed, everything and anything except me.Nor is my invisibility exactly a matter of a bio-chemical accident to my epidermis. That invisibility to which I refer oc

5、curs because of a peculiar disposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact. A matter of the construction of their inner eyes, those eyes with which they look through their physical eyes upon reality. I am not complaining, nor am I protesting either. It is sometimes advantageous to be un

6、seen, although it is most often rather wearing on the nerves. Then too, youre constantly being bumped against by those of poor vision. Or again, you often doubt of you really exist. You wonder whether you arent simply a phantom in other peoples minds. Say, a figure in a nightmare which the sleeper t

7、ried with all his strength to destroy. Its when you feel like this that, out of resentment, you begin to bump people back. And, let me confess, you feel that way most of the time. You ache with need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real world, that youre part of all the sound and anguis

8、h, and you strike out with your fists, you curse and swear to make them recognize you. And, alas, its seldom successful.(309 words)32 Your thoughts can be your best friend and worst enemy. Have you ever noticed that if you find yourself thinking even a single negative thought, it inevitably spirals

9、out of control until you have a nasty chorus of Mental Monsters taking over your brain? If you find yourself thinking, “I feel so lonely right now, “ its easy to keep that thought process going in the wrong direction until thoughts like, “I will always be alone, “ or “no one will ever love me, “ cre

10、ep up on you.Be aware of what you are thinking about and stop your negative thoughts before they grow into Mental Monsters that are much harder to control. If you find yourself stressing out, do something that relaxes you. Light some candles or incense, take a nice hot bubble bath, perform some gent

11、le yoga poses, or play soothing music.Being aware of world events is totally okay, but becoming addicted to the news is a sure-fire way to sink your mood. Limit your news consumption to a small handful of articles per day because there is no reason to bury yourself in depressing news stories for hou

12、rs on end.Watching television is fine in moderation, but spending all of your free hours in front of the tube will do nothing to help you grow or feel better. Read a classic novel you adored in high school, go to a local community theater to enjoy a racy comedy or Shakespearean tragedy, and exercise

13、 at least every other day to keep your mind and body at the top of their game.(261 words)汉译英33 美国中部有如一座炙热的砖窑：牧场和草田被烤得焦黄，玉米在干裂粉灰状的土中挣扎着，已呈枯萎状，但尚能自救。如果下几天透雨，大豆的长势仍能转好，但这场透雨得快来才行。这一场殃及美国大片地区的干旱可能是 50 年来危害最烈的一次。这倒并不是因为它持续时间长，而是因为它起始的时节很致命。半个多世纪不遇的春旱使大地龟裂、江河的驳船减速甚至搁浅、城市的供水紧张、森林成了随时欲燃的大柴堆。干旱还引发人们对食物涨价的担心。

14、所有这一切都出现和发生在盛夏来临之前。最近有些地方下了些许阵雨，杯水车薪，无济于事，反而使人更感到干旱的难熬。(257 words)34 我对孤独有着切身体会：一人一室一狗，少有陪伴。许多朋友都搬到了其他城市，结婚生子过日子，有些也因生活变迁而失去了联系。我自认为是个独行侠，刚开始也很享受平和与安静；可接下来几个月，我发现自己常常感到孤独。房间开始变得凌乱不堪、效率低下、情绪低落，除了在 Netflix 上看电影，我对任何事都提不起兴趣。过了几个月的混沌日子后，我感到自己很有问题，必须学会一个人也能过得开心才行。一个人生活时，很容易马虎应付房间整理。如果得过且过，家里很快就堆了成叠的盘子和杂物

15、。哪怕很少有室友或朋友来串门，每周至少也得打扫一次房间。觉得自己的世界毫无美好可言?那你肯定没用心发掘。当你独自蜗居在家、感到心情抑郁时，何不出门多接触大自然?看小鸟掠过天空，感叹它们高超的飞翔技术；听邻里狗儿相互吠叫，猜测“这些家伙都在讨论啥?”(347 words)2014 年燕山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】 信用评级2 【正确答案】 系统中断通知3 【正确答案】 二房东4 【正确答案】 人才开发计划5 【正确答案】 城镇和大学里的社区6 【正确答案】 打扮得花枝招展7 【正确答案】 刺激经济的政府投资8 【正确答案】 净化版本9 【正确答案】 信号解码器10

18、，也不是好莱坞电影中神鬼的幻影。我是一个由物质构成的人，不但有血有肉，还有纤维和液体，甚至可以说还有思想。别人看不到我，你要明白，是他们不想看到我。就像你在马戏团表演中看到的没有身体只有脑袋的角色，好像我周围都是坚硬歪曲的玻璃。当人们走近我时，只会看到我的周围，看到他们自己，或者都是他们自己凭空想象的东西，的确，他们每样东西都能看得到，什么东西都能看得到，就是看不到我。别人看不到我并不是因为我的皮肤表皮在生化问题上有什么变异。之所以会看不见，是因为和我交流的那些人的眼睛都很奇怪，他们内心眼睛的构造都有问题，内心的眼睛就是他们通过肉眼观察现实的眼睛。我不是在抱怨，也不是在抗议。尽管大多数情况下会

19、烦躁不安，但有时别人看不到你也会有好处。但你经常会被那些视力不好的撞到。或者再说，你经常会怀疑自己是否真的存在。你也会有疑问，是不是在别人心目中你只是一个幽灵。比如可能是，睡梦中的人拼尽全力想要毁掉的那个梦魇中的人物。你有这种感觉时，出于愤怒，你会开始故意撞人。坦白说，大多数时间你都会有这种感觉。你急切地想要说服自己的确存在于这个真实的世界，说服自己是这嘈杂烦扰的一份子，你挥动拳头，咒骂着让他们认出你来。但是，唉，可惜从来没有成功过。32 【正确答案】 你的思想可以是你最好的朋友，也可以是你最大的敌手。你注意过没有，如果你有了哪怕一丁点儿负面的想法，它就会摆脱控制形成恶性循环，直到精神怪兽完全

20、侵占你的大脑?如果你认为“ 我现在很孤单 ”，你的想法很容易会走错方向，进而你就会慢慢觉得：“我会一直孤单下去的” 或者“永远也不会有人喜欢我”。所以，你要留心自己的想法，谨防消极的想法变为难以控制的精神怪兽。觉得累了，可以做些什么放松放松。点上几根蜡烛熏香，洗个舒服的泡沫浴，做几个舒适的瑜伽动作或奏一曲舒缓的音乐。关注一些世界大事是无可厚非的，但沉浸其中只会让你心情低落。每天只看几篇报道即可，毕竟没必要把时间连续浪费在那些只会让人压抑的新闻中去。适当看看电视也不错，但空闲时间的几个钟头都在电视机前度过，不仅对你成长不好，也无益于放松心情。不妨读一本你高中时青睐的经典小说，去本地的社区剧院看一

21、场特色的戏剧或莎士比亚的悲剧，也可以至少隔天锻炼一次，让思想和身体都处于饱满状态。汉译英33 【正确答案】 Middle America is like the being in the brick oven. The pastures and hay fields are baked a dingy brown. The maize, struggling out of cracked, ash-like soil, will wither but could be saved. If there is a long soaking rain quickly, those soybeans

22、could still turn out well. The drought now affecting much of the country is probably the most perilous in half a century, not because of how long it has lasted but because of when it started. The driest spring in more than 50 years has parched the land, slowed or stranded barges on the waterways, st

23、rained urban water supplies, turned forests to tinder and raised fears of higher food bills. All these happen before mid-summer. Recent rain showers where they have fallen, have teased rather than quenched the thirst.34 【正确答案】 I have a deep feeling about the loneliness: I live in an apartment withou

24、t anyone but a dog. Many friends have moved to other cities, got married and had a family. And others have lost contact because of changing life. At first, I regarded myself as a loner and enjoyed peace and quietness. But, it was only after a few months did I often feel lonely.My room began to be in

25、 a mess, and I was inefficient on my work and was in depression. Nothing can a-rouse my interest apart from seeing films on Netflix. After living in a haze of sloth a few months, I felt that I had a problem and decided to live a happy life even alone.Since you are alone, its easy to lose interest in

26、 tidying up the room. If you are not careful, you will find a great pile of plates as well as mountains of clutter. You should make some cleaning at least once a week even though few roommates or friends dropped in.If you dont see beauty in the world, you are not paying careful observation. If you are alone at home and feel depressed, just go out and have a close contact with nature. You can watch the birds fly and admire their excellent flying skill. You can listen to neighbors dogs barking at each other making a guess at “what on earth are they talking about?“
