II. Passage translation

Section A Chinese to English

In any other week, today would merely be Thursday and the gathering of all these people – the cooking and serving and cleaning – a chore. But today it doesn’t feel that way. The host – perhaps it’s you – stands up and asks that we give thanks, and we do, each in our own way. And what we’re thankful for is simply this, the food, the shelter, the company and, above all, the sense of belonging.

As holidays go, Thanksgiving is in some ways the most philosophical. Today we try not to take for granted the things we almost always take for granted. We try, if only in that brief pause before the eating begins, to see through the well-worn patterns of our lives to what lies behind them. In other words, we try to understand how very rich we are, whether we feel very rich or not. Today is one of the few times most Americans consciously set desire aside, if only because desire is incompatible with the gratitude – not to mention the abundance – that Thanksgiving summons.

It’s tempting to think that one Thanksgiving is pretty much like another, except for differences in the guest list and the recipes. But it isn’t true. This is always a feast about where we are now. Thanksgiving reflects the complexion of the year we’re in. Some years it feels buoyant, almost jubilant in nature. Other years it seems marked by a conspicuous humility uncommon in the calendar of American emotions.

And this year? We will probably remember this Thanksgiving as a banquet of mixed emotions. This is, after all, a profoundly American holiday. The undertow of business as usual seems especially strong this year. The shadow of a war and misgivings over the future loom in the minds of many of us. Most years we enjoy the privacy of Thanksgiving, but this year, somehow, the holiday feels like part of a public effort to remember and reclaim for ourselves what it means to be American.

That means giving thanks for some fundamental principles that should be honored every day of the year in the life of this nation – principles of generosity, tolerance and inclusion. This is a feast that no one should be turned away from. The abundance of the food piled on the table should signify that there is plenty for all, plenty to be shared. The welcome we feel makes sense only if we also extend it to others.

Section B English to Chinese

上个世纪中，现代科学技术的各个部门以前所未有的速度迅猛地向前发展，科学家们在基础研究领域取得一系列突破性进展，由此产生的大量应用技术得以迅速推广，人们的生活质量大大提高，人类社会在这100年中创造出了比过去一个千年还要多的物质财富，人类社会由此呈现出空前的繁荣景象！

然而，随着科学技术每个领域里的惊人进步，我们的面前展现出越来越广阔的未知世界，传统的观念和理论受到有力的冲击，新技术革命的浪潮已经并且还在引起生产组织、产业结构和社会生活的重大变革。

从某种意义上说，科学技术的发展也给人类社会，尤其是给众多富有社会责任感的科学家和学者们带来了新的挑战，如何给予科学发展更多的人文关怀，如何在科学技术日新月异的时代建设一个和平友爱，保持均衡、可持续发展的绿色世界，成为当前最重要的课题之一！
