第一部分(英翻中)
1.
The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the
circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but
even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their
rails and they despise the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the
traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them;they
are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody
has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fascinated by the
men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem
to mould it to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free
will, but at all events we have the illusion of it. At a crossroad it does
seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and, the choice
once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's
history obliged us to take the turning we did.
(W. Somerset Maugham, The Road of Life)
2.
It’s amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn’t
it? And we do, too. Trust is our first inclination. We have to make a
deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical.
(Andy Rooney, Trust)
第二部分 英文寫作
