Translate the following into Chinese (75 points) Ruffian(无赖 无赖) The Texas Ruffian(无赖) （Excerpts） Excerpts） He was the elemental man, a man of endless, restless ambition. Nothing was ever completed; each accomplishment was a challenge to reach for more. He was a politician the like of which we shall not see again in this century, a man who bridged very different Americas, his early days and edge and attitudes forges by earthy, frontier attitudes, and whose final acts as President took us to the very edge of the moon. He was a man of stunning force, drive and intelligence, and of equally enormity stunning insecurity. The enormity of his accomplishments never dimmed the hidden fears which had propelled him in the first the place; he was, in that sense, the most human of politicians. There was about Lyndon Johnson something compelling; the more warts(烂疮疤 the 烂疮疤), he tried to hide his warts(烂疮疤), the more he revealed them. Loyalty was crucial: Washington, after all, was a city with enemies everywhere, with sharks swimming out there waiting for any sign of weakness. Thus the inner circle had to be secure, truly secure; particularly a man with as profound a sense of
    his own weakness and vulnerabilities as Lyndon Johnson wanted men around he could trust. man?” “How loyal is that man? he asked a White House staffer about a potential hand.

It was a profound part of him; his sense of being alien, of the reduce against him, was never assuaged (in October 1964 when George Ball handed in his first memo against the Vietnam war, you’ve Johnson turned to an aid and said, “you ve got to be careful you of these Eastern lawyers. If you’re not careful they’ll take you re they ll out”). you and turn you inside out ). He was hunted by regional prejudice and even the attainment of the Presidency did not office, temper his feelings. Later, after he had left office, he became convinced that it was Southern origins, not the war, which had driven him put, and that they had lain in wait for an issue,
    any issued, and had used the war, which was their war in the first place, to drive him from office. worked The people who worked for him lived in mortal fear of him. He humiliated them in front of their peers, then sometimes rewarded them, dressing down one staff member while others watched, then later in the day awarding the staff man a Cadillac, winking and explaining to someone else that it helped a man someone to strike with munificence when he was down. points)： II. Translate the following into English (75 points)： 杨绛的《窗帘》 杨绛的《窗帘》 作者：杨绛
    人不怕挤。尽管摩肩接踵，大家也挤不到一处。像壳里的仁，各自各。像太 阳光里飞舞的轻尘，各自各。凭你多热闹的地方，窗对着窗。各自人家，彼此不 相干。只要挂上一个窗帘，只要拉过那薄薄一层，便把别人家隔离在千万里以外 了。 隔离，不是断绝。窗帘并不堵没窗户，只在彼此间增加些距离——欺哄人招 引人的距离。窗帘并不盖没窗户，只隐约遮掩——多么引诱挑逗的遮掩！所以， 赤裸裸的窗口不引人注意，而一角掀动的窗帘，惹人窥探猜测，生出无限兴趣。 赤裸裸，可以表示天真朴素。不过，如把天真朴素做了窗帘的质料，做了窗 帘的颜色，一个洁白素净的帘子，堆叠着透明的软纱，在风里飘曳，这种朴素， 只怕比五颜六色更富有魅力，认真要赤裸裸不加遮饰，除非有希腊神像那样完美 的身体，有天使般纯洁的灵魂。倍根（Bacon）说过： “赤裸裸是不体面的；不论 是赤露的身体，或赤露的心。 ”人从乐园里驱逐出来的时候，已经体味到这句话 了。 所以赤裸裸的真实总需要些掩饰。白昼的阳光，无情地照彻了人间万物，不 能留下些幽暗让人迷惑，让人梦想，让人希望。如果没有轻云薄雾把日光筛漏出 五色霞彩来，天空该多么单调枯燥！ 隐约模糊中，才容许你做梦和想象。距离增添了神秘。看不见边际，变为没 边没际的遥远与辽阔。 云雾中的山水， 暗夜的星辰， 希望中的未来， 高超的理想， 仰慕的名人，心许的“相知” ，——隔着窗帘，惝怳迷离，可以产生无限美妙的 想象。(如果你嫌恶窗帘的间隔，冒冒失失闯进门、闯到窗帘后面去看个究竟，
    赤裸裸的真实只怕并不经看。 像丁尼生 （Tennyson） 诗里的 “夏洛特女郎”TheLady （ of Shalott） ，看厌了镜中反映的世界，三步跑到窗前，望一望真实世界。她的 镜子立即破裂成两半，她毁灭了以前快乐而无知的自己。) 人家挂着窗帘呢，别去窥望。宁可自己也挂上一个，华丽的也好，朴素的也 好。如果你不屑挂，或懒得挂，不妨就敞着个赤裸裸的窗口。不过，你总得尊重 别人家的窗帘。
