奔三伪愤青

爽歪歪啊

sholokovsky

这宋词不能译成自由体的，白瞎了。
也就五步抑扬格十四行诗能配得上。
短时间内，能译出来，并且格律准确，真是神人。

笔试只是作为参考罢了，看一下功底，主力还是面试。

其实第二题比第一题难很多

想了想，还是把这个试题帖上来（来源：何炳棣《读史阅世六十年》附录二），因为有的同学不太清楚，你也可以回忆着对照一下(三部分，时间三小时)：
                             第四届中英庚款英文试题                                                                           
                                                                        ENGLISH
1. Write an essay on either of the following two subjects:
(1) Travel as a Part of Education.
(2) The True Nature and Limits of Patriotism.

2. Translate the following passage into Chinese.
Whoever, working at any scientific problem, has occasion to study the inquiries into the same problem by some fellow---worker in the years long gone by, comes away from that study humbled by one or other of two different thoughts. On the one hand, he may find, when he has translated the language of the past into the phraseology of today, how near was his forerunner of old to the conception which he thought, with pride, was all his own, not only so true but so new. On the other hand, if the ideas of the investigator of old, viewed in the light of modern knowledge, are found to be so wide of the mark as to seem absurd, the smile which begins to play upon the lops of the modern is checked by the thought. Will the ideas which I am now putting forth, and which I think explain so clearly, so fully, the problem in hand, seem to some worker in the far future as wrong and as fantastic as do these of my forerunner to me? In either case his personal pride is checked. Further, there is written clearly on each page of the history of sciences, in characters which cannot be overlooked, the lesson that no scientific truth is born anew, coming by itself and of itself. Each new truth is always the offspring of something which has gone before, becoming in turn the parent of something, coming after, in this aspect the man of science is unlike, or seems to be unlike, the poet and the artist. The poet is born, not made; he rises up, no man knowing his beginnings; when he goes away, though men after him may sing his songs for centuries, he himself goes away wholly, having taken with him his mantle, for this he can give to none other. The man of science is not thus creative; he is created. His work, however great it be, is not wholly his own; it is in part the outcome of the work of men who have gone before. Again and again a conception which has made a name great has come not so much by the man’s own effort as out of the fullness of time. Again and again we may read in the words of some man of old the outlines of an idea which in later days has shone forth as a great acknowledged truth.

3. Translate the following passage into English.
                                                                                      舍己为群
积人而成群；群者，所以谋各人公共之利益也。然使群而危险，非群中之人出万不顾一生之计以保群而群亡，则不得已而有舍己为群之义务焉。
舍己为群之理由有二。一曰：己在群中，群亡则己随之而亡。今舍己以救群，群果不亡，己亦未必亡也。即群不亡，而己先不免于亡，亦较之群己俱亡者为胜。此有己之见存者也。一曰：立于群之地位，以观群中之一人，其价值必小于众人所合之群。牺牲其一而可以济众，何惮不为！一人作如是观，则得舍己为群之一人；人人作如是观，则得舍己为群之众人。此无己之见存者也。见不同，而舍己为群之决心则一。
请以实事证之。一曰从军。战争，罪恶也；然或受野蛮人之攻击而为防御之战，则不得已也。例如比之受攻于德，比人奋勇而御敌，虽死无悔，谁曰不宜！二曰革命。革命未有不流血者也；不革命而奴隶于恶ZF，则虽生犹死，故不惮流血而为之！例如法国1789年之革命，中国数年来之革命，其事前之鼓吹运动而被拘杀者若干人，是皆基于舍己为群者也。

默存君是什么方向，打听一下今年美国史招生了么，面试有没有见到李剑鸣？
...

我还真打听了（有人说我包打听。。汗。。），面试老师有：黄洋、高岱、 许平、 钱乘旦、王立新。等等。（消息来源：尹吉甫）李剑鸣老师每年都来的吧，不过美国史好像有保送的了，但凭我个人的经验（多年打听），录取完全在于的学生的素质而不是保送，比方说进复试时有一个隋唐，但质量太差，完全可以放弃，然后把这个中古名额留给魏晋或者其他方向。世界史是否遵循不太清楚。

王立新去了证明美国史还是招了，这两年美国史都招保送生，考进去的机会很小了。我已经不可能再考了，只是闲来无事，聊以自慰，谢谢

哎，其实再坚持一下可能就胜利了；当然，也可能重复今年的悲剧。考三年才上的不在少数。怎么做，对得起自己就行。不管干哪行，学到真本事才是最重要的。希望你以后顺利！

经历的次数多了，人的心理就会发生很微妙的变化，甚至有时会有一种宿命感，曾经也会像论坛里的一些新同学那样，觉得只要努力，再努力一点就行了，但是最不会料到的是最先改变想法的是自己。压力多数都是外在的，舆论、观念、传统，才真正杀人于无形，这个改变不了，所以只能向现实暂时妥协吧。懂得了这些，对于那些追梦者和成功者，也就常怀祝福和敬意。
