　　四、 段落翻譯 (本大題共2小題，每小題15分，共30分)

　　(一) 將下列短文譯成漢語(yǔ)(15分)

　　46. People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable—without meaning to or sometimes without even realizing it.

　　Most Americans have never been out of the country and have very little experience with foreigners. But they are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and bringing people together formally or informally. They tend to use first names under most circumstances and speak freely about themselves. So if your American hosts do something that makes you uncomfortable, try to let them know how you feel. Most people will appreciate your honesty and try not to make you uncomfortable again.

　　(二) 將下列短文譯成英語(yǔ)(15分)

　　47. 在中國(guó)古代史上，黃河被稱為中華民族的“母親”，她哺育了千千萬(wàn)萬(wàn)中華兒女。黃河流域是中華民族的“搖籃”，也是中國(guó)文化的發(fā)祥地。遠(yuǎn)古時(shí)代，這里曾經(jīng)草木茂密、植物豐盛，中華民族的祖先便在這塊廣大的土地上勞動(dòng)生息。經(jīng)過(guò)數(shù)十萬(wàn)年原始社會(huì)生活以后，在中國(guó)這塊遼闊的國(guó)土上，黃河流域最早進(jìn)入農(nóng)業(yè)文明。黃河流域的古都西安、洛陽(yáng)、開(kāi)封是北宋以前中國(guó)政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)和文化的中心。勤勞勇敢的中國(guó)人民在這里創(chuàng)造了絢麗多彩的藝術(shù)和文化。
