Part II. Translate the following into Chinese. (60 Points)

Fame is very 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 isn’t it?

Those who gain fame most often gain 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 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 demand 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.

Well then, why does anyone want fame? Do you? Do you want to be known to many people and admired by them? Do you want thfe 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 trying 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 could be.

Part III. Translate the following into English. ( 60 Points)

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，好的婚姻需耍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、 夫妻和谐已不人容易，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，男入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，她的当事人人多是由于挣钱养家的丈夫离开而被抛弃 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山结束婚姻。而且，自从80年代通过了财产公平分割法，迫使收入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。”
