VII.TranslationfromEnglishintoChinese.（本大题共15分）

计划是我们生活中一项非常重要的活动。它能使人愉快，甚至令人兴奋，但也会让人十

分头疼。工作越重要，所需的计划就要越仔细。按时上班或上学是几乎根本不需要计划的工

作，它只不过是日常事务。而长达一个月的国外旅游度假，或更甚之，结婚娶亲，就完全是

两码事了。如果假期中还要举行婚礼，接待50位来宾，举办招待会，去意大利度蜜月，再回

到新家，那就更需要计划周全，以确保成功。计划使我们能够保证成功，避免那些代价昂贵，

而我们又难以承受的失败。对于整个人类、民族、家庭乃至个人来说，计划同样又是必不可

少的。其规模可大可小，但重要性都一样。
