我从此便整天的站在柜台里,专管我的职务。虽然没有什么失职,但总觉有些无聊。掌柜的是一副凶脸孔,主顾也没有好声气。教人活泼不得;只有孔乙已到店后,才可以笑几声,所以至今还记得。 参考译文(53)

新年春节刚过,农村的破旧小车站就挤满了成千上万的农民。他们只有一个目的,到城市去。八十年代处,农村的改革,使得千千万万的农民从土地上解放了出来,纷纷跑到城市找工作。自那以后,这种大规模的民工潮一直使城市感到头痛。这不仅是因为对城市设施造成了极大的压力,而且他们担心会引发许多社会矛盾。所以外来民工往往补被看成二等公民,不能成为城市居民,孩子不能在城市读书。但是另一方面,城市和经济开发区的发展急切需要大批劳力到工厂和建设工地。而且政府也感到如果不让农民出来。而农民的不满加剧,会导致社会动乱。 参考译文(53)

尽管嘴上说友谊,对运动员来说重要的仍是比赛成绩。得第一名获金牌,第四名什么也拿不到。任何想获奥运冠军的人都得中断学业,牺牲自己业余时间。这一点常常是观众没看到的。因此,运动员要求得到物质奖励是可以理解的。 参考译文(55)
1) Despite lip service paid to friendship what matters to athletes is success.2) Whoever comes first wins a gold medal but anyone who comes fourth gets nothing.3) What the spectators sometimes fail to notice is that anyone who wants and has little spare time.5) It is understandable that athletes want some tangible reward. 56改革开放
改革开放胆子要大一些,要敢于试验。冒一定的风险是必要的不冒点风险,办什么事情都有百分之百的把握,万无一失,谁敢说这样的话?一开始就自以为是,认为百分之百正确,
26
没那回事。我就从来没那么认为。每年领导层都要总结经验,对的就坚持,不对的就丢掉或赶快改,新问题出来抓紧解决,无论是打仗还是搞改革,都经不起慢腾腾的决策。在很多情况下,都需要冒险试一试,然后一边前进一边改正自已的错误。恐怕再有三十年的时间,我们才会在各方面形成一整套更加成熟,更加定型的制度,在这个的方针,政策,也将更加定型化。

57金融危机
现在的国际金融是没有国界的,当东京的股市大跌时,受影响的不只是日本,而是全世界。因此保持我们中国的经济稳定发展,就要帮助 恢复亚太地区的稳定的发展。我们中国在这次亚洲金融危机中勇敢地承担了自己的责任。 参考译文(57)

股票市场,国库券市场和企业债券市场是上海最大和最活跃的资本市场。这些市场的日趋活跃,表明上海金融体系越来越成熟,同时也看出上海企业正设法通过直接向群众借款的办法来克服信货紧缩。它还说明,上海投资者越来越聪明。他们购买各种有价证券,从保值定期储蓄、国库券、股票、企业债券,到现在只要能使手中钱不因通货膨胀而贬值的各种其他金融债券。机构投资者和个人投资者踊跃购买每年发行的国库券,企业债券因为期限短。人们争相购买证券,往往前一天晚上就在银行外徘队,一个亿的债券几天就一售而空。 参考译文(60)

快乐教育是指强调培养学生成为德,智,体,美,劳全面发展的人。它改变了我们以往唯有高分的学生才是人才的观念。因为我们国家的建设事业不仅仅需要的是工程师和科学家,同样需要各行各业的能工巧匠。 参考译文(61)

过去,人们并没有充分认识到污染给环境造成的影响。只是把它看成一种会熏黑房屋,弄脏河流的令人讨厌的东西。直到不久前才认识到还会对人体健康造成威胁。而且这种威胁之大,足以影响许多生命的生存,甚至包括人类本身的生存。 参考译文(63)

不同的人对退休持不同的态度。有些人认为退休后可以好好享受晚年的生活。但真的退下来了,他们则有点失望。看到自己就要被抛到废物堆里,他们不甘认命,设法另找事干来发挥自己的于热,以继续得到收入。另一些人则对一生中这样一个重大变动早有准备。他们一生为工作操劳,现在筋疲力尽了,渴望退休后能放松拉紧的弦,好好休息。由于不再需要每天早晨去赶公共汽车了,不再要为晋级虑。就可以有足够的时间去追求童年时的梦想,如写写书、画画图、种种花、周游各地。总的来说,没有像男的一样感到可怕。 参考译文(64) 1) Attitudes towards retirement vary from person to person.2) Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, 3) but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed.4) Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provede.5) Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives.6) Tired out after all exhausting life revolving around work they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved.7) As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream such as writing painting growing flowers and traveling around.8) On the whole female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers.9) Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man. 65经济发展
世界上一些国家发生问题,从根本上来说,都是因为经济上不去,没有饭吃,没有衣穿,没有房住。工资增长被通货膨胀抵消,生活水平下降,大批人下岗和失业,长期过紧日子。如果经济发展老是停留在低速度,生活水平就很难提高。 参考译文(65)

北京大学的前身是燕京大学。它是一所贵族学校。按理说,学生在政治上应该是保潮开始在校园蔓延。到了1953年,燕京大学竟成为学生抗议运动的策源地。由此爆发了全国抗日战争。就在这时,美国作家爱德加 斯诺来到燕京大学任教。在燕大他呆了两年,接触了中国近代青年。了解了中国大学生的思想。自那后,燕京大学这所外国教会学校发生了很大的变化,它逐渐变成了完全由中国人自己掌握的学校。今天在北京大学的湖畔到处可以听到新一代大学生的欢声笑语。 参考译文(66)

最近在高校毕业生择业问题上出现一种倾向,这就是毕业生越来越青睐在公司。很少人愿意到研究单位。在崇尚物质的社会里,这是一个不可避免的问题。学生还没有走出校门,大公司便在竞相聘用他们,向他们提供具有诱惑力的薪水和福利待遇。另一方面,由于许多大企业,甚至包括一些政府部门往往看重接经济效益,而相对来说对长期的理论研究不感兴趣,所以科研人员不断从纯理论研究领域流向实用工业。因为在那里工作要比研究领域里好
