Part IV：句子翻译
1. 当Escalopia国大使回家吃午饭的时候，他的妻子吓了一大跳。他面色苍白，衣服上也搞得一塌糊涂。
2.“发生什么事情了？”她问道。“你的衣服怎么搞得这么一塌糊涂？”“一个灭火器，亲爱的，”大使干巴巴地答道。“今天早上大学的学生放火烧大使馆。”“天啊！”妻子惊呼道。“那时你在哪儿呀？”“我像往常一样呆在办公室里，”大使答道。“火是从地下室里爆发出来的。我当然是马上下去了，而Horst那个蠢货将一个灭火器对着我猛喷。他认为我着火了呢。我一定得将他调离岗位。”
3. 大使太太继续问着问题，这时她突然发现丈夫帽子上一个很大的洞。“那么，那个你怎么解释呢？”“噢，那个呀，”大使说道，“有人开了一枪，射穿了我办公室的窗户。很准，你不这样认为吗？幸运的是，我那时没有戴着它。如果当时戴了，我就不能回到家里来吃午饭了。”

Letter 1:
Dear Sir,
As an international student new to(对。。。陌生)the ways of your university, I am most reluctant(勉强的)to complain.
But, the fact is that the heating system in my room does not seem to be working properly(正常地). I have tried to find out what the problem is by myself, but, not being a technically-minded(有机械头脑的)person, I have failed to do so.
As I am sure you understand, trying to study in an unheated(没有暖气的)room in this cold weather is extremely uncomfortable. Besides, at night the temperature(温度)drops so low that it is almost impossible to sleep. On top of that(更为紧要的), I feel a bad attack(攻击)of the flu(感冒)coming on(正在赶来).
I would be most grateful if you would send an engineer to fix the heating system in my room as soon as possible. I will of course be willing to pay for any service charge(收费)involved(涉及到的). Meanwhile, if the problem cannot be solved quickly, I would like you to allow me to move to another room.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours sincerely,
Kenny Gao
Letter 2:
Dear Jack,
You have asked me for my advice concerning(有关)whether you should study history or computer science at university and now I am trying to give you some useful suggestions.
You must keep in mind that(谨记), above all(最要紧的), your university training is a preparation for your future career(职业发展). Therefore, your first consideration(考虑)should be to study a subject(科目)which will best equip(武装)you to earn a living(谋生). There is no doubt that(毫无疑问)the field of computer offers(提供)far wider(非常广阔的)job opportunities than history.
Besides, we are now in the age of a Hi-tech revolution(革命). For the foreseeable(可以预见的)future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate(懂电脑的), it will also be necessary for him to be equipped with computer skills merely(仅仅)to earn a living! History, I’m afraid, however fascinating(迷人的)it may be, offers few career prospects(前景).
Of course, you don’t have to devote(投入)all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. On the contrary(恰恰相反), I would recommend that you keep up(保持)your reading of history in your spare time. In that way, you will find that your leisure hours(闲暇时光)are enriched(变得丰富)while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile(值得的)career in computers.
Hope you find these suggestions useful in helping you make your decision.
Yours sincerely,
Kenny Gao |
