Centuries ago, the Chinese already pointed out that “people are the foundation of a country; when the foundation is stable, the country is in peace.” “Nothing is more valuable in the universe than human beings.” The ancient Chinese emphasized the value of serving the people, enriching them, nourishing them, and benefiting them. We are pursuing today a people-oriented approach toward development because we believe that development must be for the people and by the people and its benefit should be shared among the people. We care about peoples value, rights and interests and freedom, the quality of their life, and their development potential and happiness index because our goal is to realize the all-around development of the people. Ensuring the right to survival and development remains Chinas top priority. We will vigorously promote social and economic development, protect peoples freedom, democracy and human rights according to law, achieve social fairness and justice and enable the 1.3 billion Chinese people to live a happy life.“不到长城非好汉”。凡是到中国的旅客都愿意去浏览长城。长城，东起山海关，西至嘉峪关，横跨中国北部，全长六千多公里，号称“万里长城”，是中国古代劳动人民智慧的结晶，是世界伟大的建筑奇迹之一。 中国最早的长城，远在公元前七世纪就已经出现了。公元前221年，秦始皇统一六国后，把秦、赵、燕三国原有长城连接起来，绵延万余里，奠定今天长城的规模，以后历代均有修筑。现存长城，是明代修建的。 长城依山势蜿蜒起伏，宛如苍龙凌空飞舞，十分雄伟壮观，是无数中外游人的登临胜地。 【参考译文】 He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. All travelers to China are willing to go visit the Great Wall.Starting at Shanhai Pass in the east and ending up at Jiayu Pass in the west, the Great Wall traverses up and down over numerous mountains and valleys in five of Chinas northern provinces and two autonomous regions. As it extends over a distance of more than 6000 kms, it is called in Chinese the Wanmlichangcheng which means “Ten Thousand Li Long Wall”. It is a symbol of intelligence of the working people of old days, and also one of the great architectural miracles in the world. Construction of the wall first began in the 7th century B.C. after Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221206BC) achieved the unification of China in 221 B.C. He had the fortification walls of the three kingdoms Qin, Zhao and Yan linked up to be a continuous wall extending more than ten thousand li (a li = 1/2 kms), which formed the essential size of the present-day Great Wall. Since then the later dynasties continued to repair and build the wall. The great wall as it stands today was restored and reinforced during the Ming Dynasty. The great Wall winds like a giant serpent along the lofty myriad mountains. It is one of the most famous attractions to visitors. 英汉段落翻译(30分)A. 第一段(15分)SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE Mort Walker doesnt like people to refer to the International museum of cartoon Art as “his” museum. But the creator of Beetle bailey is the guy who got this repository of yuks going 26 years ago after 10 years of fundraising, then shepherded it thought locations in Greenwich, Conn., and Rye Brook, N.Y, before planting it amid Floridas ritzy Mizner Park retail shops.The Museum doesnt just feature decades-old comic strips. It houses a wide variety of art forms falling into the cartoon category, including political cartoons, comic books and graphic novels, one-panel gag cartoons (the kind found in magazines), animation, caricatures, sports cartoons, book and magazine illustrations, and even advertising and greeting card art. Although most of the art is hung at adult level, the museum has kid-friendly at tractions, including a theatre showing animated short films and the Create-A-Town Center, where they can learn to draw cartoon by hand or on a computer. It also offers a cartoon art school for children and adults, cartoon camp sessions for kids, learning and literary programs, and other activities. 这个博物馆不仅以在报刊上连载数十年之久的连环画为其特色，它还收藏了属于漫画艺术门类的多种艺术形式的作品，包括政治漫画、连环漫画杂志和连环画小说、单幅滑稽漫画(在杂志上可看到此种形式)、动画影片、讽刺漫画、体育漫画、书刊杂志插图，甚至还有广告和贺卡美术作品。 尽管博物馆大部分漫画作品挂在成人水平视线这一高度，但是它也有一些适合和吸引儿童之处，其中包括一个放映动画短片的电影院和“最佳创造城中心”，孩子们能够在中心学习用手或电脑画漫画。博物馆还为儿童和成年开办了一所漫画艺术学校，为孩子们举办短期漫画营，开设学画课程和知识文化课，并组织一些其他的活动。 Translate the underlined part of the text into Chinese. Now we are engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But in a large sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us: that from these honored dead we take increased devotion that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. 【参考译文】 但是，从更为广泛的意义上来说，我们无法奉献这块土地，无法使其神圣化。因为那些曾在这里战斗过的活着和死去的勇士们已经使这块土地神圣化，这已远远超过了我们菲薄的力量所能。世人不会注意，也不会长久记住我们今天在这里所说的话，但是，人们会永志不忘他们的英雄业绩。对我们这些活着的人来说，更应该把自己献身于勇士们曾在此为之奋斗、豪迈推动，但尚未完成的工作，更应该把自己献身于依旧摆在我们面前的伟大任务：从这些烈士身上汲取更多的献身精神，为着他们为之精诚奉献的事业，我们也绝不能让烈士们的鲜血白流；要在上帝的保佑下，使我们的国家获得自由的新生；要使我们这个民有、民治、民享的政府长存于世。 笔译LATIN AND AMERICAN PROVERB补充1.
