Never for a moment did he look at the world or at people, except in relation to himself. To himself, he was not merely the most important person in

14、the world; in his own eyes he was the only person who existed. He considered himself to be one of the greatest playwrights, one of the greatest thinkers, and one of the greatest composers in the world. If you hear him talk, it seems as if he were the mixture of Shakespeare, Beethoven, and Plato. And

15、 you have no trouble in hearing him talk. He was one of the most exhausting conversationalists that ever lived. An evening spent with him was an evening spent in listening to a monologue. At times, he was brilliant; at other times, he was annoyingly tiresome. But whether he was brilliant or dull, he

16、 had only one topic of conversation: himself, what he thought and what he did.译文：他是个极其自负的怪人。除非事情与自己有关，否则他从来不屑对世界或世人瞧上一眼。对他来说，他不仅是世界上最重要的人物，而且在他眼里，他是唯一活在世界上的人。他认为自己是世界上最伟大的戏剧家之一、最伟大的思想家之一、最伟大的作曲家之一。听听他的谈话，仿佛他就是莎士比亚、贝多芬、柏拉图，集三人于一身。想要听到他的高论十分容易，他是世上最能使人精疲力竭的健谈者之一。同他度过一个夜晚，就是听他一个人滔滔不绝地讲一个晚上。有时，他才华横溢；有时，

17、他又令人极其厌烦。但无论是妙趣横生还是枯燥无味，他的谈话只有一个主题：他自己，他的所思所为。Passage 2One of the most difficult aspects of interviewing is listening. The research interview often takes an apparently conversational form, but there is an important sense in which it is not conversational, because in normal conversations there is a n

18、atural symmetry, a regular shift of the roles of speaker and listener between those involved. Conversation is two-sided(or multi-sided) in the way that the interview is not. In the research interview the roles are asymmetric, the interviewer is mostly in the role of listener and questioner, and the

19、interviewee is mostly the speaker and respondent. This specification of roles can be demanding of the interviewer as it requires considerable concentration. It also requires a sense of strategy. The interviewer has the responsibility to structure the interview, intervening at critical points to move

20、 to new topics, to seek clarification, to challenge, sometimes to summarise. The listener, has to be attentive to what the interviewee is saying at any moment, but also to think about the conversation as a wholewhat topics have been covered, what questions have been asked (and answered), what remain

21、s to be said, and how to end the interview.This asymmetry has a significant psychological affect. It frees the interviewee from the responsibility to manage the topics and the structure of the talk, which is why people may say things that they do not usually say in normal conversation.参考译文：访谈中最难的是倾听

22、受访者讲话。研究访谈貌似交谈，但其实不然。平时的交谈存在一种自然的对称关系，对于参与交谈的人而言，说话者与聆听者会有规律地发生角色转换，交谈涉及双方（或者多方）。但访谈不是。在研究访谈中，这种角色是不对称的，采访者大多扮演聆听者和发问者的角色，而受访者大多扮演说话者和回答者的角色。角色到位对采访者要求很高，因为这要求采访者必须全神贯注。这也需要一种策略意识。采访者有组织访谈的责任，在关键时刻改变访谈内容，转向新的话题，要求受访者做出解释，并对他们的回答提出质疑，有时还可以总结访谈。作为倾听者，采访者在任何时候都要留心受访者的回答，而且要从整体上考虑交谈内容谈论涉及的话题、已经提出的问题（和回答

23、的问题）、余留的问题以及如何结束访谈。 这种不对称的关系会产生重要的心理作用。由于受访者不必寻找话题和组织谈话，这就使他们容易谈起在日常交谈中不会提到的事情。 Part III. Translate the following passages into English. Passage 1尊敬的史密斯先生：您于2009年5月5日及5月12日的传真件已收悉。对您草拟的意向书和备忘录上的各项条款，我们进行了认真的讨论，现答复如下：一、上述两个文件我们大多数都表示赞同。二、对于下述三个问题，我们的看法是：1、投资总额的问题。我们的目标是新建一座年产50万吨的玻璃厂。我们当然赞成用最小投入获得最大收

24、益的原则。总投资要多少，最后我们可以通过可行性研究论证来测算，但888万美元估计是不够的，我们不应受青岛市审批权限1000万美元的制约。不论项目的投资总额多少，我们会负责取得项目的合法审批手续。2、关于双方的出资比例问题。贵方是否考虑出资比例提高到65%以上，这是因为我国已经实行分税制，外方出资越大，合资公司所缴纳的税金对地方政府的财政收入贡献越大。因此，地方政府反过来将会对这类企业给予更优先的支持。3、关于出资形式。在双方确定出资比例后，所有的投资均应视为合资公司的行为。当然这个过程会充分发挥双方的优势，比如贵方熟悉技术设备的优势，我们熟悉土地收购、厂房建筑和当地水电设施配套的优势。但在投资

25、中这些开支都应事先经双方确认，事后经中国注册会计师审核，任何一方的开支不足原定投资比例，应以资金补足，超出投资比例部分应由合营公司的资金做出偿还。如最后实际总投资超出投资预算，双方应按原定的出资比例追加投资。 三、对于贵公司考察团准备于2009年6月6日来访的计划，我们表示热烈的欢迎。但有点遗憾的是，在这相同的时间内，黄先生因事外出，要在6月20日才回到青岛市。因此，如果这个日期不能改动的话，我将和王先生负责与您洽谈，相信在双方的真诚和努力下，我们的合作一定会取得成功。 您真诚的朋友参考译文：Dear Mr. Smith,Thank you for your letters dated May

26、 5 and May 12, 2009. We have had an earnest discussion on all the terms of Letter of Intent and Memorandum of Understanding you drafted. Now we would reply to you as follows：A. We agree on most of the terms included in the Letter of Intent and Memorandum of Understanding.B. We would like to voice ou

27、r opinions with regard to the following three points: a. The total amount of investment. Our aim is to build a new plant with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons of glass. We quite agree to the principle of obtaining the maximum profit with a minimum investment. As to the total amount of investment,

28、it cannot be estimated until after a feasibility study, but it seems to us that US$8,880,000 would not be enough. We should not be restricted by the condition that the approval authority of Qingdao is granted the right for examination and approval of up to US$ 10,000,000 only. No matter how much the

29、 total investment is, our party will be responsible for and is able to obtain legal approval formalities. b. Equity participation. It would be very profitable to the joint venture if your party would consider raising the percentage of ownership to 65% or over. This is because our country has already

30、 carried out a taxation system reform, whereby the more capital the foreign party contributes, the more contribution taxes will be paid by the joint venture, which adds to the revenue of the local government. As a result, the local government will, in return, give more priority to the joint venture.

31、 c. The form of capital contribution. After the proportion of capital contribution by the parties has been determined, all the investment is regarded as the activities of the joint venture company. In the investment process, the advantages the parties have will be given full play. For instance, your

32、 party enjoys the advantage in technology and equipment and our party has the advantage in land purchase, plant buildings and other local utilities. However, in the course of the investment, the expenses should be confirmed by the parties beforehand and audited by registered Chinese accountant. Eith

33、er of the parties should make up the amount in cash if their expenditure does not account for the proportional amount of investment as required, and if more than that, the party should be paid back by the joint venture, also in cash. Should the actual total amount of expenditure by the parties be mo

34、re than the estimated investment, then, both parties would provide additional investments proportionally. C. We express our warm welcome to the investigation group of your company who are going to pay us a visit on June 6, 2009. Unfortunately, Mr. Huang is away on business and will not return to Qin

35、gdao until June 20. Therefore, if your visiting schedule cannot be changed, Deputy General Manager, Mr. Wang and I will be responsible for the discussions with you. With the sincerity and efforts of both parties, I believe the cooperation between us will be crowned with success.Passage 2中原公司建立于1959年
