Passage One

Related to this technological advance is the social definition of poverty. The American poor are not poor in Hong Kong or in the sixteenth century; they are poor here and now, in the United States. They are dispossessed in terms of what the rest of the nation enjoys, in terms of what the society could provide if it had the will. They live on the fringe, the margin. They watch the movies and read the magazines of affluent America, and these tell them that they are internal exiles.

To some, this description of the feelings of the poor might seem to be out of place in discussing a definition of poverty. Yet if this book indicates anything about the other America, it is that this sense of exclusion is the source of a pessimism, a defeatism that intensifies the exclusion. To have one bowl of rice in a society where all other people have half a bowl may well be a sign of achievement and intelligence; it may spur a person to act and to fulfill his human potential. To have five bowls of rice in a society where the majority have a decent, balanced diet is a tragedy.( 30 ‘)

参考译文:

与这种技术进步是贫困的社会定义。美国的穷人在香港或在第十六世纪不差;他们很穷,现在在这里,在美国。他们被剥夺的是其他国家的享受,在什么样的社会可能要将提供。他们生活在边缘,边缘。他们看电影和阅读富裕美国的杂志,这一切告诉他们,他们的内部

一些流亡者,这说明了穷人的感情似乎在讨论贫困定义是的地方。然而,如果这本书指出了美国其他的任何东西,它是这种排斥感是悲观主义的根源,一个失败主义,加剧了排斥。在一个社会里,所有的人都有半碗很可能表明一种成就和智慧有一碗米饭;它可以催人上进,发挥他的潜力。在一个社会里,大多数有一个像样的吃五碗饭,均衡的饮食是一个悲剧。

Passage Two

The Internet will make the capital market efficient. It will lower transaction costs, lower the cost of customer acquisition, increase competition by making pricing more transparent, and give investors more access to information. This will raake markets more liquid and provide mechanisms to match buyers and sellers more efficiently.

Because of ever increasing new information or salient events, the demand for a cross-section of skills to handle technological investment is a necessary ingredient to make investments successful. Thus, venture capitalists bring more to the investment process than capital. They bring expertise and an ability to lead the investment process. Moreover, since they are the largest investors in most of these ventures, their incentives are aligned with those of the technologist. ( 30 ‘)

IV. Translation the following passages into English (共 60分,每段30分)(答在试卷上的内容无效):

Passage One

而且实际上说来,吹牛对于一个人的确有极大的妙用。人类这个东西,就有这么奇怪,无论什么事,你若老老实实的把实话告诉他,不但不能激起他共鸣的情绪,而且还要轻蔑你冷笑你,假使你见了那摸不清你根底的人,你不管你家里早饭的米是当了被褥换来的,你只要大言不惭的说“某部长是我父亲的好朋友,某政客是我拜把子的叔公,我认得某某巨商,我的太太同某军阀的第五位太太是干姐妹”吹起这一套法螺来,那摸不清你的人,便帖帖服服的向你合十顶礼,说不定碰得巧还恭而且敬的请你大吃一顿燕菜席呢!(30分)(选自庐隐 《吹牛的妙用》 mtizt.com注)

参考译文:

That boasting is of extremely great use to one is beyond doubt. Man is a queer animal. Suppose you tell someone the plain truth about a certain matter without holding anything back, he will probably laugh at you scornfully instead of returning a congenial response. On the other hand, suppose, penniless as you are, you brag unabashedly to somebody who knows little about you, “Minister So-and-So is a good friend of my father’s,” “Politician So-and-So is my grandpa’s sworn brother,” ” I know a certain business tycoon very well,” or ” My wife is a nominally adoptive sister of a certain warlord’s fifth concubine.” The listener will adore you like a deity or may even, at an opportunity moment, respectfully treat you to a big dinner featuring edible bird’s nest!
