Section VIII English-Chinese Translation

Choose either of the following two passages. Only the underlined sentences are to be translated. (20 points)

(1)

Television is now playing a very important part in our life. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter?

In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. (1) For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. (2) They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. (3) All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. (4) Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. (5) He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.

(6) Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers and endless series of programs which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest custom are brought right into one's sitting-room. (7) It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there a danger. We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives.

There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programs is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. (8) It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.

(2)

An office is the "Brain" of a business. (9) In an office, figures, lists and information are compiled which tell the managers or heads of the business what is happening in their shops or factories. These figures guide the managers by telling them what has happened and what is happening.?

Information comes into an office in all sorts of ways but the main items of information come in regularly. (10) It is part of the job of the clerks to collect and classify that information and to put it into such a form that it is easily interpreted and understood. Offices collect information then they classify it.

This work of collection is common in an office from the sorting of mail every morning to the accountant's work in finding out the final figure for the year's profit. (11) Classification always requires the arrangement of the same kind of information, often into lists or columns. (12) For this work, correctness, accuracy and speed, as in all office work, are essential.

There is no value, however, in collecting figures which mean nothing. Figures are guides which should help we make decisions. (13) The interpretation of information and of tables should tell us where success or failure lies, where profit can be had and where losses occur. (14) On this kind of information and from the known figures, a choice is made and a series of such choices may make a policy.

A firm which has three factories may find, for instance, from its figures, that one factory is losing money and a choice may lie between either a change of manager, a cut in production, an increase in production or closure of the factory. Whichever one of these decisions is taken becomes the policy. (15) It is clear that a decision leading to a policy can only be as good as the information on which it is based.

Consequently there is a constant search for more and more exact information. (16) Managers will want to have all the necessary facts before they can make the best decision and it is normal for them to seek for more and more information.

1. 譬如，對于一個四口之家，舒舒服服地坐在家里收看電視，就能看到幾乎是數不清的娛樂節目，這比到外面別的地方去消遣便宜得多，方便的多。

2. 他們不必花錢去戲院、電影院，或歌劇院買價錢很高的戲票，結果他們也許還會發現所演出的節目很令人失望。

3. 他們所要做的只是按一下電鈕，就能看到各種戲劇、電影、歌劇和各式各樣的演出，更不用說各種政治辯論和最近舉行的激動人心的足球賽。

4. 可是，有些人則堅持認為這恰恰是危險的所在。

5. 看電視的人是完全被動的，他可以毫不費力就能看到所播放的每一個節目。

6. 人們常說，電視能使一個人對時事了如指掌，隨時了解科學和政治方面的最新發展。同時還能源源不斷地為觀眾提供各種既有教育意義又帶有娛樂性的節目。

7. 可能會有人提出無線電廣播也同樣能做到這一點;但在電視屏幕上，每個節目都顯得更加生動，更加真實。

8. 電視對社會的價值取決于我們怎樣去利用它。

(2)

9. 在辦公室里，人們將各種數據、表格和資料(信息)加以匯編以便讓經理們或企業的主管人員了解他們的商店或工廠目前正在發生的情況。

10. 職員們的一部分任務就是手機這種資料(信息)將它分類并制成這樣一份表格，這份表格要能是這種資料(信息)易于解釋，易于理解。

11. 分類工作始終需要將同樣的資料加以整理，往往是將它們列成表格或專欄。

12. 對于這種工作來說，像所有的辦公室工作一樣，正確性、準確性和速度是必不可少的。

13. 對資料(信息)和報表所做的解釋，應能給我們顯示出成敗之所在哪里可以有盈利以及哪里出現了虧損。

14. 根據這種資料(信息)和那些已知的數據，就能作出一種選擇，而一系列這樣的選擇就能形成一項決策。

15. 很顯然，形成決策的那個決定的好壞，只能取決于它所依據的資料(信息)的好壞。

16. 經理們必定需要在掌握一切必要的情況之后才能作出最佳的決定。對他們來說，要求得到越來越多的資料(信息)是很正常的。
