三、段落翻译(英译汉)
Beauty is a curious phenomenon, one of permeable, shifting boundaries. We may think we understand it, since we sense it effortlessly. In fact, it is a bundle of mysteries researchers are still
uncovering.
Consider the ancient proverb: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Until about 30 years ago it seemed too obvious for
scientists to bother with. When they finally tested
it, their results startled
them.
On the one hand, the maxim is false. Facial beauty is the same throughout the world. In every tribe and culture, individuals will consider Marilyn Monroe, say, an attractive woman. It goes further. Males can identify good-looking men, and females charming women. Old and young, rich and poor, learned and ignorant, all agree on who is beautiful. So do people of every class and personality type.
We don’t learn this response. We’re born with it. In one recent study, babies just 20 hours old recognized attractive faces
and preferred them. So beauty is in our DNA. The eye of the beholder doesn’t matter.
On the other hand, and this is where it gets interesting, the facial shell is just the foundation of beauty. We see the self in the face, every day, all the time, and we can’t distinguish the two.
This blurring means that we gift the attractive
with a large number of virtues. They seem more competent, likeable, happier, blessed with better lives and personalities. In one experiment, people predicted happier marriages and better jobs
for them, and rated them lower on
only one aspect: their caliber as parents. Another study found people consider them more amiable, happy, flexible, pleasure-seeking, serious, candid, outspoken, perceptive, confident, assertive, curious and active. They exert more control over their destiny, subjects felt, while the homely endure the world’s sudden change.
It is called the “beautiful is good” stereotype, and it grants the attractive a parade of boons. Teachers consider them smarter and give them higher
grades. Bosses promote them faster. In one tale in The Thousand and One Nights, a thief steals a coin-bag, and when the victim accuses
him, people protest: “No, he’s such a handsome youth. He wouldn’t steal anything!” In fact, attractive people can
shoplift with greater ease, since witnesses are less
likely to report them. And when they do stand
before the court, juries acquit them more
readily and judges give them lighter penalties.
四、段落翻译(汉译英)
是一段关于“长城”的文字,太泛泛,网上找不到准确的原文,原文比较简单,写的时候手都在抖,都是白花花的分啊!(越简单老师改卷的时候越严格…)
