PART IV English-Chinese Translation (15%)
Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Then
translate it into Chinese. Write urtranslation on the
Answer Sheet.
Many people think that the current trend is towards
too little sleep. To quote the medical opinion,"Thousands
of people drift through life suffering from the effects of
too little sleep; the reason is not that they cant sleep
but that they just don t." (1)What could be disastrous is
that we should sacrifice sleep only to gain more time in
which to endanger our civilization by actions and decisions
made weak by fatigue and tension.
(2)There are also those who believe that most people
are advised to sleep too much. Dr. H. Robert claims, "It
may sa{ely be said that,just as the majority eat too
much,so the majority sleep too much."One can see the point
of this also; (3)it would be a pity to slow down our
development by holding back those people who are gifted
enough to work and play well with less than the average
amount of sleep,if indeed it does them no harm.
(4) Indirect evidence on the amount of sleep we need
comes from studies of what happens when we do without it.
At first sight these suggest that we do not need as much as
we take. It has been diffi-cult to show any effect of as
little as one night s loss of sleep on performance, and
even after three days awake we can expect normal efficiency
in a man taking responsible decisions in a job which he
finds really exciting.
(5) Furthermore, when at last he is allowed to sleep
he will probably wake after some twelve hours and show
little ill-effect. It seems clear that the human body is
equipped to overlook the need for sleep in order to meet
emergencies of quite long duration without doing any harm
to it. But this effect of loss of sleep in face of urgent
demands may be the greatest source of danger. People may
think they are more efficient than they really are.
