1、 1. Chinese to English “To live is to change the world!” Those words by Steve Jobs have become well-known throughout the world since 2011 and he himself has also been regarded as the embodiment of innovation and imagination. Besides the most magical Apple products, what he has been highly appraised

2、about also includes his unique, unarguable charm “Reality Distortion Field”. This is how Andy Heitzfeld, the Macintosh software engineer, defined this powerful field of Steve Jobs: “The reality distortion field was a confounding melange of a charismatic rhetorical style, an indomitable will, and an

3、eagerness to bend any fact to fit the purpose at hand.” Bud Tribble, an Apple engineer, said, “The term Reality Distortion Field is both a compliment and a warning. Being stuck in Steves reality distortion field is dangerous, but it is this field that really has empowered him to change reality.” 2.

4、English to Chinese 或许，关于乔布斯最让人惊异的事实是，他认为市场调研和小组座谈会只会限制人的创新能力。当被问到苹果公司推出iPad之前进行了多少市场研究时，乔布斯的著名回答是：“完全没做过。消费者们没义务知道他们想要什么。如果消费者从来没有见过哪怕有一点点近似的东西，很难(让他们)告诉你他们到底想要什么。” 事实上，真正让苹果公司如此与众不同的是乔布斯的直觉，他有着雷达一样敏锐的感觉，能够感知新兴科技及其结合有望产生的“伟大至极”产品。对于去年于56岁英年早逝的乔布斯而言，直觉绝非本能。它是“连接生命中的点点滴滴”，正如他在斯坦福大学(Stanford)毕业典礼演讲中所 述

5、，这段经常被人引用的话闪现了互异的人生经历和科技变革之间的关系。 完全可以想见，如果乔布斯高度依赖消费者研究，就不会有苹果公司后来的热卖产品，从麦金塔电脑(Macintosh)到iPod，再到iTunes。 凑巧的是，乔布斯推出麦金塔电脑当天，大众科学(Popular Science)的一位记者曾经问他，苹果公司进行了怎样的市场研究、确保这款电脑有市场。乔布斯以近乎生气的语调反问：“亚历山大格雷汉姆贝尔发明电话机前做过市场调研吗？”Unit 2 Director Davis Guggenheim ingeniously knits all varieties of the natural ph

6、enomena of global warming with Mr. Gores personal history, as well as his long-standing actions he has committed to improving the global warming warnings, which constitutes a strong shocking documentary. As a veteran environmentalist, Mr. Gore, from a thought-provoking and attention-appealing perspe

7、ctive, shows a great deal of the disastrous and undisputed facts and information that the global warming has brought to human beings. In the film Mr. Gore has completely detached himself from the clichs of the political speeches, instead fully displayed his personal charm. With a sense of humor and

8、objective attitude, he lists all the facts to the audience, leaving them to reaching a conclusion alone. “An Inconvenient Truth” is not a film of despair, neither is it just shouting a slogan to protect the Earth . .3Translate the following into English. Since World War II the world has seen unprece

9、dented migration of people. The United States has had an increasing number of immigrants from India, Arabic countries, China and Southeast Asia. European countries recently have had to cope with an influx of people from Russia and Poland. Many of these people come in hopes of a better economic futur

10、e. Even Japan, which prides itself on having a homogeneous population, faces a growing foreign workforce, though it is very small by American and European standards. Oil-rich Arabic countries employ a number of foreigners as well. Translate the following into Chinese. 所有工业国的公司正面临着越来越多有不同背景的员工他们必须每天处

11、理与不通报过文化和语言相关的问题。跨文化的沟通对国际公司和国内公司来说都是同等重要的话题问题关键是公司怎样才能组建一支有着共同目标的团队，这个任务并不轻松。 如果员工队伍文化和语言背景多样化，公司须确保不同背景的员工能够彼此相处；与此同时，管理层也应从上至下给所有的员工提供培训，以促进为同一目标更好工作。 5 Translation The rapid growth in the rich world before the 1970s was encouraged by public spending on infrastructure (including in sewage systems

12、) and basic research: the computer, the internet and the green revolution in food technology all sprang out of science, where there was no immediate commercial aim. Wars provide the sharpest example of the innovative power of government spending: astounding new developments in drone and prosthetic t

13、echnology let alone the jet engine are a bittersweet testament to that. Even in these straightened times, money should still be found for basic research into areas such as carbon capture and storage. For governments that do these things well get out of the way of entrepreneurs, reform their public s

14、ectors and invest wisely the rewards could be huge. The risk that innovation may slow is a real one, but can be avoided. Whether it happens or not is, like most aspects of mankinds fate, up to him.2. 由于技术进步令人目不暇接，我们倾向于由于技术进步令人目不暇接，我们倾向于把这个时代当做是有史以来最具创新性的时代把这个时代当做是有史以来最具创新性的时代。我们生产出智能手机和超级计算机，拥有海。我们生

19、ed. A GOVERNMENT with debt denominated in its own currency needs never default, or so the theory goes. It can simply print more money to pay off the debt. In practice, however, countries do default on local-currency debt: six have done so in the past 15 years, including Jamaica, Russia and Ecuador.

20、Before this weeks budget deal, markets had feared that America could join the list, if only in a technical sense. From the point of view of a creditor, however, the ability of a government to print money is of little comfort if the result is higher inflation (for domestic investors) or currency depreciation (for foreign ones). Investors who bought Treasury bonds in 1946, when yields were around current levels, did not suffer a formal default. But over the following 35 years they lost money in real terms at a rate of 2% a year. The cumulative real loss was 91%. By that standard, Greek c
