Translation
I. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.
It seems to me that in the matter of intellect the ant must be a strangely overrated bird. During many summers, now, I have watched him, when 1 ought to have been in better business, and I have not yet come across a living ant that seemed to have any
more sense than a dead one. I refer to the ordinary ant, of course; I have had no experience of those wonderful Swiss and African ones which vote, keep drilled armies, hold slaves, and dispute about religion. Those particular ants may be all that the naturalist paints them, but I am persuaded that the average ant is a sham. I admit his industry, of course; he is the hardest-working creature in the world一 when anybody is looking一but his leatherheadedness is the point I make against him.
II. Translate the following paragraph into English.
教育很可能是现代争议最大、争论最多的一个题目。在一个国家未来的经济增长越 来越依靠科学和技术的时候，教育在一个国家未来的前途中起着决定性的作用。今天. 享受教育的特权已不再限于极少数人。教育的发展是如此之快，它现在已成为一个巨大 的行业。事实上，它是规模最大的行业.其雇佣的人数和所付的工资比其他任何一个全 国性的企业都要多。有一些教育机构包装得非常漂亮，借以提高知名度和吸引学生。在 一定意义上讲，教育已经变成了一种商品。从事教育的人对商业化这个说法会感到很不 舒服，但是，恐怕除了少数例外，很多大学已经陷入了演变成唯利是图的大规模制造厂 的过程中。培养心智不再吃香;推销可出售的技能成了时髦。这就是教育的悲剧。不用 说，某种拯救教育以防止其更加衰落的具有想象力的办法和共同努力早就该出台了。竞 争性的考试应该由素质教育取代，死记硬背应该让位于创造性和解决实际问题的能力的 培养。只有这样，我们才能迎来教育的真正进步。
