Part One: Translation (75 points)
1) Translate the following passage into Chinese (35 points)
A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men
to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has
gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of
values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her
actions and liable for their consequences. Of the many values that hold civilization together,
accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no
law, and ultimately, no society.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never
learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on
people's behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and
embarrassment.
Fortunately there are still communities, smaller towns, usually where schools maintain
discipline and there parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are
not tolerated; they simply are not done!" Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and
suburbs, these inner restrains are loosening. Your typical robber has gone. He considers your
property his property: he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.
