Passage Translation Passage A The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They got tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. Version： 考分事关重大，但考 分是某个不知姓名的考 官给打的，往往只是这 个考官自己主观评判的 结果。要说考官，他们 也是人，也会累，也会 饿，也会出错，但是他 们却不得不在规定的时 间内批改一大堆草草答 完的试卷。 They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judges decision you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiners. There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a persons true abilities. This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. 他们像考生一样，也是 在强大的压力下完成任 务的。然而，他们打的 分数也是一字千钧。对 于法院的判决不服，当 事人还有权上诉，对考 官的误判不服，考生却 无处伸冤。要评判一个 人的实际能力如何，简 单易行，行之有效的办 法肯定还是有的。说一 千道一万，其实就是这 样。 The best comment on the system is this literate message recently scrawled on a wall: “I were a teenage drop- out, and now I are a teenage millionaire.” 要评说考试制度，最 妙的评语莫过于我最 近看到的涂写在墙上 的一句文理不通的话 ：“过去我少年辍学， 现在我少年富翁” The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I considered the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old 在我的记忆里，安妮 曼斯菲尔德沙利文老 师来的第一天，使我 一生中最重要的日子 。从这一天开始，我 的生活和以前迥然不 同，一想到这一点， 我就感到非常兴奋。 这个重要的日子就是 1887年3月3日，我差 三个月就满七周岁。 Passage BPassage B On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I was suggested vaguely from my mothers signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. 那天下午，我一声不 响，怀着期待的心情 站在门廊里。母亲给 我打着手势，人们在 屋里匆匆地走来走去 ，我模模糊糊地预感 到一件不寻常的事就 要发生了。于是，我 走到门口，站在台阶 上等着。 The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I didnt know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me. Anger and bitterness had preyed upon me continually for weeks and deep languor had succeeded this passionate struggle. 下午的阳光透过门廊上覆 盖着的一层厚厚的忍冬， 照在我微微仰着的脸上。 我几乎是无意识地用手抚 摸着我熟悉的叶片和花朵 ，这新长出的叶子和刚开 的花朵在南方迎来了芬芳 的春天。但不知今后等待 我的是什么，会是我惊喜 ，还是惊骇。几个星期以 后，我又气又恨，感到非 常苦恼，这种感情上的激 烈斗争过去以后，我感到 浑身无力。
