PART IV TRANSLATION
    Directions: Translate the following part of the text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
    我們住的是臨河一幢房子的頂層,那天晚上河上狂風怒號,連房子都震動了,好似遭到了炮擊或海濤的拍打。后來狂風又帶來了驟雨,擊打在玻璃窗臺上,抬眼看時,窗子都在搖晃,恍若置身在一座風雨飄搖的燈塔中一般。有時候,壁爐里的煙會從煙囪里倒灌進來,似乎受不住屋外風雨的侵凌。我打開門,往往樓下,樓梯上的燈已經(jīng)撲滅;握手搭涼棚,透過漆黑的玻璃窗朝外一望(在這種風侵雨虐的夜晚,休說開窗,連一絲風兒也露不得),只見院子里的燈也撲滅了,橋上和岸邊的燈也都在瑟瑟發(fā)抖,狂風從駁船上的爐子里刮起了陣陣火星,有若一陣陣風雨。
    SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
    Directions: Translate the following underlined part of the text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
    Youve been in love of course! If not youve got it to come. Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it. Also like the measles, we take it only once. One never need be afraid of catching it a second time. The man who has had it can go into the most dangerous places, and play the most fool-hardy tricks with perfect safety. He can, to see the last of a friend, venture into the very jaws of the marriage ceremony itself. He can keep through the whirl of a ravishing waltz, and rest afterwards in a dark conservatory, catching nothing more lasting than a cold.   No, we never sicken with love twice. Cupid spends no second arrow on the same heart. Loves handmaids are our life-long friends. Respect and Admiration, and Affection, our doors may always be left open for, but their great celestial master, in his royal progress, pays but one visit and departs. Meteor-like, it blazes for a moment, and light with its glory the whole world beneath. Happy those who, hastening down again before it dies out, can kindle their earthly altars at its flame. Love is too pure a light to burn long among the noisome gases that we breathe, but before it is chocked out we may use it as a torch to ignite the cozy fire of affection.
