1. That was the strapline of the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can, which tells the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), a brilliant young master of deception who at different times impersonated a doctor, a lawyer, and an airplane pilot, forging checks worth more than six million dollars in 26 countries. He became the youngest man to ever make the FBI's most-wanted list for forgery. Suggested answer:
这是2002年的电影《有种来抓我》的剧情简介。影片讲述了小弗兰克?阿巴格纳尔(莱昂纳多?迪卡普里奥饰演)的故事。影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师,曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色,在26个国家伪造了价值600万美元以上的支票。他成了联邦调查局有史以来伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的通缉犯。
2. Since 2003, identity theft has become increasingly common. Few people could imagine how important things like taking mail to the post office and not leaving it in the mailbox for pickup, shredding documents instead of throwing them out with the trash, even using a pen costing a couple of bucks, have become to avoid life-changing crimes.
Suggested answer:
2003年以来,身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到,为了预防这种改变人生的犯罪,采取一些预防措施有多么重要,比如把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去,甚至使用几美元一支的(特效)笔等等。
3. If we've learned one thing from terrorists, not to mention action movies, it's that a tool is also a weapon. Globally accepted credit cards and the databases that support them are tools for taking the friction out of commerce. That's another way of saying that they're tools for extracting money from people with minimum effort on everyone's part. Suggested answer:
假如说我们从恐怖分子那里—更不用说从动作电影那里——学到了一招,那就是,工具也是武器。全球通用的信用卡和支持它们的数据库是去除商业摩擦的工具。换句话说,它们
是以让各方最省事的方式从人们那里取钱的工具。
4. Wherever universal identification leads, we don't yet know how to manage a world in which everything can be linked to me, wherever I am. We don't know yet how to balance the undoubted convenience of this world with the peril—vague, but apparently near—that we sense in the presence of all that information combined and consolidated, if only logically. Suggested answer:
无论通用身份的前景如何,我们尚不知道该如何应付这样一个世界:无论我身在何处,一切都可能与我有关联。一方面,这个世界给我们提供了无可置疑的种种方便;另一方面,我们又面对着所有这些强化组合的信息(如果是合理的强化组合该多好啊)所带来的种种危险。这种危险虽然模糊,但显然离我们很近。我们尚不知如何在两者之间保持平衡。

2. 现在,伪造支票、身份证和信用卡之类的白领犯罪已变得相当普遍。尽管我们学会了许多防止被骗的招数,可是看起来我们随时都可能被骗。(forge; prevent ... from) Suggested answer:

3. 地震已过去了好几个月,生活恢复了正常。人们与平时一样忙着各自的事情。但一个无法回避的事实是,地震给人们带来的精神创伤也许永远无法抹去。(go about; there is no escaping the fact that ...; mental trauma; wipe out) Suggested answer:
It has been several months since the earthquake. Life has returned to normal, and people are busy going about their business. But there is no escaping the fact that the mental trauma the earthquake brought to people will never be wiped out.
4. 为什么说一个图书馆拥有大量可供随时阅览的新书及电子图书资源很重要呢?因为那样的话,学者们就可以了解自己学科领域里的最新进展,知道自己的研究是否有价值。(matter; readily availabe to; if so) Suggested answer:
Why does it matter that a library has many new books and electronic resources readily available to the readers? This is because if so, the scholars know the latest development in their own fields and know whether their research is valuable.
