　　II. Passage translation

　　Section A English to Chinese

　　The high grey-flannel fog of winter closed off the Salinas Valley from the sky and from all the rest of the world. On every side it sat like a lid on the mountains and made of the great valley a closed pot. On the broad, level land floor the gang plows bit deep and left the black earth shining like metal where the shares had cut. On the foothill ranches across the Salinas River, the yellow stubble fields seemed to be bathed in pale cold sunshine, but there was no sunshine in the valley now in December. The thick willow scrub along the river flamed with sharp and positive yellow leaves.

　　It was a time of quiet and of waiting. The air was cold and tender. A light wind blew up from the southwest so that the farmers were mildly hopeful of a good rain before long; but fog and rain do not go together.

　　Across the river, on Henry Allen’s foothill ranch there was little work to be done, for the hay was cut and stored and the orchards were plowed up to receive the rain deeply when it should come. The cattle on the higher slopes were becoming shaggy and rough-coated.

　　Elisa Allen, working in her flower garden, looked down across the yard and saw Henry, her husband, talking to two men in business suits. The three of them stood by the tractor shed, each man with one foot on the side of the little Fordson. They smoked cigarettes and studied the machine as they talked.

　　Elisa watched them for a moment and then went back to her work. She was thirty-five. Her face was lean and strong and her eyes were as clear as water. Her figure looked blocked and heavy in her gardening costume, a man’s black hat pulled low down over her eyes, clod-hopper shoes, a figured print dress almost completely covered by a big corduroy apron with four big pockets to hold the snips, the trowel and scratcher, the seeds and the knife she worked with. She wore heavy leather gloves to protect her hands while she worked.

　　参考译文：飘荡在半空中的冬雾呈现出灰法兰绒色，将萨利纳斯山谷严实地罩了起来;同时也把它与外界分隔开。雾气锁着山头，四面象顶盖子，而山谷则成了一口盖得严严实 实的深锅。农民在宽阔平坦的土地上深耕，犁铧过处，黑色的土地闪着金属的光泽。在横卧萨利纳斯河的丘陵地上，农场里的茬地泛着黄色，象是沐浴在冷冷的苍白 日光下;不过，现在时至腊月，山谷里没什么阳光。河边上密密麻麻的柳丛上的黄叶颜色鲜浓，象着了火似的。

　　这是一个安静，叫人等待的季节。空气凉凉的，柔柔的。从西南方向吹来一阵轻风，农民们隐隐地感到不久会有一场及时雨，但雨和雾是不 一起来的。

　　河对岸亨利•埃伦家位于丘陵上的农场里已经没什么活计了：干草都收割过并存放了起来，果园业已深翻过，好等到有雨的时候浇个透底墒。高处山坡上的牛变得毛皮杂乱粗糙。

　　伊利莎•埃伦正在花园里干活儿，穿过院子朝远处望时，她看见丈夫亨利正在与两个身着工作服的人交谈。三个人都站在拖拉机棚边上，一只脚蹬在那辆小型福特牌拖拉机的一侧。说话的时候，他们边抽着烟，边打量拖拉机。

　　伊利莎看了他们一会儿，又继续忙自己的活儿。她今年三十五岁，脸庞瘦俏并透着坚毅，一双眼睛清澈如水。由于穿着园艺工作服，她显得鼓囊囊的、有点儿笨拙。她头上戴着一顶男式的黑帽子，拉得很低，直到她的眼睛。脚上是一双粗笨的鞋子。下面穿的印花裙子几乎全给那个大号的灯心绒围裙遮盖了起来。围裙上有四个大口袋，用来放她干活时用的剪刀、泥铲、刮管器、种子和刀。干活时她戴着厚厚的皮手套，免得弄伤手。

　　Section B Chinese to English

　　中国与亚洲其他国家的经贸往来和友好交往源远流长，我们有着相似的悠久历史和文化传统，都有着长期遭受外来侵略的痛苦经历。

　　中国是世界上人口最多的发展中国家，要实现现代化，还需要经过几十年时间的艰苦努力，需要一个长期稳定、和平的国家环境，特别是良好的周边环境。今后，我们即使发展起来，也不会对其他国家构成威胁，不会去侵略和压迫别的国家。曾经长期遭受压迫和欺凌的中国人民，永远不会把这种痛苦强加于人。中国一贯奉行独立自主的和平外交政策，坚持睦邻友好，坚决反对霸权主义和强权政治，主张国家不分大小、贫富，都是国际社会平等的一员。中国的军事力量完全是防御性的，军事预算仅占国民生产总值的1.5% , 低于世界上大多数国家。中国不参加军备竞赛，不搞军事扩张，既反对别国高霸权主义，自己也永远不称霸。中国永远是维护世界和平的坚定力量。中国人民永远是亚洲和世界人民可以信赖的朋友。

　　译文：China and other Asian countries have a long history of friendly exchanges and economic ties. Similarly,we shared a long history and cultural tradition. At the same time, we aslo have endured a long and painful times of foreign invasion.

　　As the the most populous developing country in the world, China are striving to realize modernization that requires painstaking efforts for several years. To realize this goal we also need an stable environment of long-term international peace, especially a sound neighboring environment. Even when China becomes more developed, we will not pose any threat to other countries, nor invades and oppresses others. Emerging from untold suffering, the Chinese people will never want to see other nations go through the same pains it endured in the past. China has consistently committed to an independent foreign policy of peace. It strives for the constant development of good-neighborly relations between China and the surrounding countries. We firmly oppose hegemonism and power politics. China maintains that all countries, regardless of their size or wealth, are equal members of the international community. China’s military force is defensive in nature. It’s military budget account for only 1.5 percent of gross national product, which is lower than most countries in the world. China will never participate in any arms race, nor will it engage in military expansion. China opposes any form of hegemonism and will never seek hegemony. China is determined to remain a staunch force for upholding world peace. The Chinese people is always a trustworthy friend of the people of other countries in Asia and the world.
