【第二题答案】
我是在夜间抵达这个城市的。坐在前来接站的朋友的车里,当地电台的“午夜热线”节目刚好开通。主持人是个中年妇女,训练有素的声音平静而体贴。“你好,你要和我说些什么呢?”她总是这样开场。
I arrived at that city at midnight. Sitting in the car which my friend sent to collect me at the station, I listened to “Midnight Hotline”, a program by a local station which had just come on. The hostess sounded middle-aged, with a well-trained, gentle and sweet voice. “Hello, what’d you like to tell me?” She was beginning her program in the usual way.
“我换心已经整整100天了。”打进电话来的是个男人。“换心?你接受了换心手术?你就是大报小报都在报道的那个新闻人物、我省的第一个换心人吗?”“是的,是的。”“啊,很高兴你的声音听起来这么健康,一切都好吗?”“很好,很好,你想想,有那么多人关心我,爱护我,医生、护士、领导、同事,还有许多陌生人⋯⋯”“你一定是想借电波传达你对所有关心爱护过你的人的谢意,是吗?”“是的,是的。”“好,那我就为你播放一曲《好人一生平安》,祝福你,也祝福天下的好人⋯⋯”眼看主持人就要切断线路,结束这场轻松的谈话。
“It’s already 100 days since I received a heart transplant.” The caller was a male adult. “A heart transplant? So, you’ve got a new heart, the very first person in our province who received such an operation, the person who’s been much in the news!” “Yeah, it’s me. ” “I’m glad you sound very healthy. I guess you’re OK.” “Absolutely! You see, many people care about and take care of me: doctors and nurses, superiors and colleagues, and even lots of people whom I’ve not yet had the pleasure of knowing.” “You must be thinking of conveying your thanks to all these people through us. Is that right?” “Right, right.” “OK, I’ll play Best Wishes to All Kind People and dedicate it to all the kind-hearted people in the world.”
“等一等,等一等,我还有件事。”“嗯?”“是这样的,我40岁了,有老婆,有儿子,可是有个女孩,她一定要和我好。我们这样的关系已有好几年了,可现在她提出来一定要我离婚娶她,我很为难。”“你爱妻子,还是爱她?”“我爱妻子,也爱她。”“手术前后没有变化吗?”“手术前我对女孩说,你再闹,我的心脏可要受不了啦,后来果真受不了了。”“现在呢?”
It seemed she was going to hang up and put an end to this casual talk. “Wait a minute, wait a minute, please. There’s another thing.” “Yes?” “It’s like this: I’m 40 and have a wife and a son. But there’s a girl who is very attached to me. We’ve been going on like this for quite a few years. But now she insists that I get a divorce and marry her. I’m at a loss what to do.” “Who do you love, your wife or that girl?” “Both.” “Any change of feelings after the operation?” “Before the operation, I told the girl ‘Please stop it, my heart can’t stand it.’ And there WAS a heart failure later.” “And what about now?”
“现在⋯⋯当初我病得那么重她都不变心,我当然也不能变心啦,换了心也不可以变心的。”“对妻子就可以变心吗?”“对妻子也没变心啊,我也不愿离开她。”“⋯⋯”训练有素的主持人竟然语塞。当代换心术的确高超,却仍不能医治换心人的心病。换心术都没法解决的难题,主持人还能说些什么?
“Now?… She remained true to me when I was so sick. How can I have a change of heart about her now? A changed heart should not bring about a change of heart about a person of one’s heart.” “Can you change your heart about your wife?” “I haven’t changed towards her either. I don’t want to leave her.” “….” This extraordinary declaration of love struck the well-trained hostess dumb. Heart transplanting is miraculous, but cannot cure a patient of his “emotional heart problem”. How can a radio hostess be expected to succeed when transplantation is not able to achieve?

【第三题答案】
小时侯吃苹果,我也爱挑红润的,因其意味着成熟,而熟透的水果必然甜美爽口。In fact when I was a child I also liked bright red apples because red apples are ripe apples, and fully ripe apples are bound to taste sweet and refreshing. 年岁渐增,熟识了生活中诸般滋味之后,反倒偏爱上青苹果的那种清甜──带着点酸涩的甜、饱含水份的甜,咬一口有清脆的声响。The long process of maturity has acquainted me with the different flavors of life and caused me quite unexpectedly to fall in love with the plain sweetness peculiar to green apples, which are crisp and juicy, and taste slightly sour and puckery. 也许,成熟、甜蜜乃至完美,并非生命的终极意义,更重要的倒是向这一目标趋近过程中万般况味的体验;唇齿之间的那一分青涩在不断转变着,反倒显得生动、真实。It seems to me becoming mature and living a happy and even blissful life is not life’s ultimate goal. What is more meaningful is the undergoing of various experiences and the savoring of diverse tastes in the trudge to that destination. The harshness or bitterness on the tongue constantly renews and therefore remains forever vivid and realistic. 正如稚齿孩童可能认定糖果是世界上最好的东西,成人之后反而学会并且喜好品味茶或咖啡──其底蕴更切近于生活的本质。Similarly, children may conclude candies are the nicest things in the world. However, arriving at adulthood, these same persons will learn to appreciate tea or coffee, which tastes, so to speak, like life itself.
重温仓促来去的日子,那成熟之前的天真幼稚印象最深:爱、被爱、错失、落叶般瑟缩的痛苦以及繁硕如花枝招展的欢乐,样样都是第一次,Looking back on quickly-elapsed years, we may find that the period of innocence and naivety seems to have given us the deepest impression: loving and being loved the first time, letting the first chance slip by, unprecedentedly sorrowful feelings like fallen leaves withering fast and the first time-experienced ecstatic joys like flowers in full blossom. 都曾在空白的履历上留下无可涂改的痕迹,也都具备着他物难以替代的价值。All these have left inerasable marks on our path of life and have demonstrated their worth of being irreplaceable. 也许我们的激情不切实际,也许我们的言谈举止尚缺乏老练沉稳,也许我们的好心常常做了错事,诸如此类,堪以月蚀的缺憾来比喻;然而混沌未开的青春毕竟是朴素真实的,它拒绝雕饰的幼稚犹如苹果青涩的一面,是必然的,也是必要的。There might have been such regrets as our enthusiasm being impractical and our conduct lacking in sophistication and sedateness. We might have even done wrong deeds through good intentions. Such phenomena are mere eclipses of the moon. However, one’s uninitiated and unsophisticated youth is simple and genuine. Just like the unripeness of the apple, youth’s innocence of embellishments is a logical necessity. 青涩是与生俱来、无法磨灭的斑驳胎记,我们大可不必为自己幼稚粗拙的一面过分地脸红。The greenness of youth, like an indelible birthmark, is nothing to be overly ashamed of. 在红尘滚滚中做一只早熟的果实也是遗憾的,因为它会失去许多生命的体验On the other hand, it is also a matter of great regret for a person to be “early-ripe ”in this very complicated and sophisticated world, because that would have cost him many opportunities of experiencing life.

【第四题答案】
孩提时住在农村,常常盼望过节。I always looked forward to festivals while a kid living in the countryside. 记得最有乐趣的节,莫过于年终的“谢天地”。As I now recall it, no other festival held greater fascination for me than “Thanksgiving” ceremony held at the end of the Chinese lunar year. 那谢完天地之后,母亲用福礼汤(鸡、肉汤)下的银丝面条,To express gratitude to Heaven and Earth, Mother would use, among other dishes, “Thanks-for-Happiness Soup” (chicken and meat soup) as one of the offerings, and, the rituals over, she would cook the whitest and finest noodles (called “silver-thread noodles”) in the broth. 其鲜美无比至今还留下十分美好的记忆。The delicious taste lingers to this day!
V-I When something such as an idea, feeling, or illness lingers, it continues to exist for a long time, often much longer than expected.
V-I If you linger somewhere, you stay there for a longer time than is necessary, for example, because you are enjoying yourself.
工作之后,我却渐渐对过节不感兴趣了。After I graduated and started my career, my interest in festival-celebrating began to fade. 原因是当我单身时,我喜欢看书,笔耕。在写文章时经常需要随时查阅文献资料,When I was single, I loved reading and writing, which necessitated frequent trips to libraries to consult the relevant data. 如果遇上节日放假,图书馆就关门,我就只好干着急,眼看时间白白流失,所以我讨厌过节。When such a need should arise during the holidays when the libraries were usually not open, I’d feel much dismayed, being absolutely unable to make use of the valuable time that flew by.
V-T If something necessitates an event, action, or situation, it makes it necessary.
在诸多家务中,每天买菜是我的任务。中国人过节,吃是主要内容,Of the many household duties after my marriage, going marketing everyday is my job. Festival celebration for us Chinese chiefly consists in eating. 为了显示过节的气氛和水平,少说也要搞它个十菜八肴的。To help create the festival atmosphere and show off the level of the festivities, at least a score of meat and vegetable dishes should be laid out. 这样一来,节前的紧张采购暂且不说,节后的剩菜处理也落在我一个人身上,妻孩们是不愿吃隔天菜的,So, besides the pre-festival frantic shopping, the post-festival disposal of the leftovers fell to my lot, my wife and children being loath to touch the leavings. 自幼来自农村且深受“谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦”陶冶的我,是断然不肯将能吃的剩菜倒掉的,Born in the countryside and always taught to believe profoundly in the need to “treasure each and every grain of rice in the bowl”, I flatly refuse to throw away the leftovers. 于是节后天天吃剩菜。所以我不喜欢过节。Therefore, in the days immediately following the festival I had to finish up the scraps one by one. Hence, my distaste for the festivals.
N-UNCOUNT If you feel distaste for someone or something, you dislike them and consider them to be unpleasant, disgusting, or immoral.
V-T If someone or something convinces you of something, they make you believe that it is true or that it exists.
