1、英语翻译基础（英汉互译）模拟试卷 30 及答案与解析汉译英1 科学就是探求真理。在探求真理的过程中，人们对客观规律的认识要经过艰苦曲折的过程。常常有这样的情形：由于研究的角度不同，掌握资料的差异，认识方法的不同，就会出现“ 横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同” 的情况，以至引起学术上的争论。因此，有作为的科学工作者都把反对的意见看作对自己的莫大的帮助，把对自己的批评当作最珍贵的友谊。正如歌德所说，“我们赞同的东西使我们处之泰然，我们反对的东西才使我们的思想获得丰产。”这都是因为，赞同的意见未必正确，反对的意见未必错误。退一步说，即使错误的反对意见，对自己的科学研究也是很有好处的。2 严格来说，哲学
2、不是解释宇宙，那是自然科学的事。哲学家至多只能解释人生，解释自己，解释文本。哲学也不是知，不是知识体系，不是几何学、物理学那样一大套公理、公式，可以解决实际生存问题。哲学的精神永远是探究、怀疑、发问、沉思；而不是提供现成的答案。哲学家有些不食人间烟火，他远离田野车间，甚至也不拿天文望远镜观察观察天体，而只是坐在静谧的书斋里读书、思考，思索那些具有终极意义、虚无缥缈的本体问题。哲学家孤苦伶仃，独处一室之中。面对古往今来的大哲学家遗留下来的问题，他苦苦沉思。他唯一富有的是文本，哲学因而就是解释文本，而不是解释宇宙。3 读书有三个层次，三种境界。第一种境界是见书就读，不加鉴别，没有太多选择。第二种境
3、界是读一部分你特别喜欢的作家的作品，找到你的兴趣和兴奋点在哪里。第三种境界就是只读一本或几本你最喜欢的书，或者反复阅读你喜欢的一个作家，精心研究他的作品。如此，我们应该明白“书越读越少” 的意思了。4 所谓选修科目也只是在某一项目范围内略有拣选余地而已。一个受过良好教育的人，犹如一个科班出身的戏剧演员，在学习的时候要服从严格的纪律，唱工做工都要认真学习，各种角色的戏都要完全谙通，学成之后才能各按其趣味而单独发展其所长。学问要有根底，根底要打得平正坚实，以后永远受用。初学阶段的科目之最重要的莫过于语文与数学。语文是阅读达意的工具，国文不通便很难表达自己，外国文不通便很难吸取外来的新知。数学是思想
4、条理之最好的训练。其他科目也各有各的用处，其重要性很难强分轩轾，例如体育，从另一方面看也是重要得无以复加。总之，我们在求学时代，应该暂且把趣味放在一旁，耐着性子接受教育的纪律，把自己锻炼成为坚实的材料。学问的趣味，留在将来慢慢享受一点也不迟。5 一个人的生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么标准可以衡量呢?提出一个绝对标准当然很困难，但是，大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。古来一切有成就的人，都很严肃地对待自己的生命，当他活着一天，总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习，不肯虚度年华，不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民以
