•III. 段落翻译：
Part One
In an instant Earl ran across the bridge，vaulted the fence and ran to the water’s edge．Unable to reach the boy safely from the shore，Earl stepped into the water．Then the shock registered on Earl’s face as the water grabbed him，too，and prevented him from completing his mission immediately. In Earl’s expression，I could see that he had confronted much more than he could handle，even being as strong and athletic as he was．The little boy was just s1ightly ahead of Earl，
always just out of reach，1ike a tiny beacon lighting the way to death’s door．
Part Two
It was early June and Peking wore the green lace of spring, its thousands of willows and imperial cypresses making the Forbidden City a place of wonder and enchantment, and in many cool gardens it was impossible to believe in the China of breaking toil, starvation, revolution, and foreign invasion that lay beyond the glittering roofs of the palaces. Here well-fed foreigners could live in their own little never-never land of whisky-and-soda, polo, tennis, and gossips, happily quite unaware of the pulse of humanity outside the great city’s silent, insulating walls—as indeed many did.
Part Three
In my view China's growing international engagement has been vital to her progress. The key to sustaining and building on early economic success was China's move into world markets. Consider a couple Of statistics. Since 1979 foreign trade as a share of China's GNP has risen from 10% to 45%. Integration in world market became a basic fact of Chinese economic life. With that came integration into the world investment system. Foreign funds flowed into China in a spectacular way. The stock of foreign investment grew from under $5 billion in 1989 to nearly $90 billion by 1994. So China has built new and increasingly strong links, in both directions, with world markets. These links have contributed to creation of new jobs, new prosperity for China. What next?
Part Four
On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, in the adjoining V ale of Blackmore or Blackmoor. The pair of legs that carried him were rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him were somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particular. An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat
was ruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off. Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune.
Part Five
When seeds are planted, care is taken that they are well spread out, so that the plants are not crowded when they grow. This ensures that each seed obtains sufficient light, air, water and food. Nature also tries to ensure that seeds are dispersed over a wide area, away from the parent plant. This is important for two reasons. Firstly, if the parent plant is destroyed, the offsprings have a better chance of survival. Secondly, the young plant will not compete with the parent plant and each other for the necessities of life (nutriment).In nature, seed dispersal is largely a matter of luck. Most of the seeds fall in places, which are unsuitable for healthy development; large numbers of them cannot survive for long. They must obtain four things from the environment: (i) suitable soil, (ii) suitable temperature, (iii) sufficient water, and (iv) a sufficiency of the other requirements for growth, such as air and light.
Part Six
V enus and the Cat
A cat having fallen in love with a young man, besought V enus to change her into a gir1，in the hope of gaining his affections. The goddess, taking compassion on her weakness，changed her into a fair damsel; and the young man, enamoured of her beauty，1ed her home as his bride．As they were sitting in their chamber，V enus，wishing to know whether in changing her form she had also changed her nature，set down a mouse before her．The girl，forgetful of her new condition，started from her seat，and pounced upon the mouse as if she would have eaten it on the spot；where upon the Goddess，provoked at her frivolity，straightaway turned her into a cat again．What is bred in the bone，will never out of the flesh。
Part Seven
I grew up in a small town where the elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age , not so long ago , when children could go home for lunch and find their mothers waiting.
At the time, I did not consider this a luxury, although today it certainly would be. I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, the finger-painting appreciators and the homework monitors. I never questioned that this ambitious, intelligent woman, who had had a career before I was born and would eventually return to a career, would spend almost every lunch hour throughout my elementary school years just with me.
Part Eight
Some sounds bring it all back: the high-pitched squeal of my mother's teakettle, the rumble of the washing machine in the basement and the jangle of my dog's license tags as she bounded down the stairs to greet me. Our time together seemed devoid of the gerrymandered schedules that now pervade my life. One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly rehearsed my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her word, kindly delivered, still stung, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
