It is most startling to hear a watch or clock clicking away the conds, each click indicating the

shortening of one，s life by a little bit. Likewi, with each page torn off the wall calendar, one's life

is shortened by another day. Time, therefore, is life. Nevertheless, few people treasure their time as

much as their life. Time must not be wasted if you want to do your bit in your remaining years or

acquire some uful knowledge to improve yourlf and help others, so that your life may turn out to

be significant and fruitful. All that is foolproof, yet few people really strive to make the best u of

their time.

Pers on ally, I am also a fritterer. I don't play mahjong. I ldom go to the theatre or cinema I

go there maybe only once every few years. I ldom spend long hours watching

TV——

usually I watch TV for no more than 30 minutes at a sitting. Nor do I go

visiting and gossiping from door to door. Some people asked me, “Then what do you do

with most of your time?'Introspecting with remor, I found that apart from the time

，

earmarked for my job and unavoidable social activities, most of my time had bee wasted.

I should have concentrated my energies on reading whatever books I have not yet read. I

should have utilized all my time in writing anything I want to write. But Fve failed to do

so. Very much of my time has been fritted away aimlessly. As the saying goes, "One

who does not work hard in youth will grieve in vain in old age?"

栖守道德者，寂寞一-时；依阿权势者，凄凉万古。达人观物外之物，思身后 之身，

宁受一时之寂寞，毋取万古之凄凉。

涉世浅，点染亦浅；历事深，机械亦深。故君子与其练达，不若朴鲁；与 其曲谨，

不若疏狂。

君子之心事，天青日白，不可使人不知；君子之才华，玉棍珠藏，不可使人 易知。

What an increa nowadays in the number of our country-men who, as they

claim, can speak the English language! Small wonder if you e so many people have

pasd their English test with so much ea at either intermediate or post-intermediate

levels. Still, I have my doubt about the percentage of them who have really got even a

smattering of esntial English, not to say having a thorough command of the language.

Thus I feel obliged to advi tho pudo-translators that they can never be too careful

with checking and revising what they have rendered from Chine into

English before tting it to print. Even with the translation of announcements and

notices, where the translator does not have to sign his name, a bad job would bring as

much dishonor to the country as it would to the translator himlf.

VI. Translate the following ancient Chine maxim into English

(20%)

Tho who prerve their moral integrity suffer only fleeting loneliness. But

boundless miry is the lot of tho who cling to the powerful. Tho who aspire to the

truth must fix their gaze on spiritual cultivation, which transcends material things.

They must think of how their reputations will live on after them, and choo fleeting

loneliness over boundless miry.

A man with but slight experience of the world will likewi be only slightly

stained with its impurities. A man well verd in the world and its ways will likewi

be replete with tricks and treacheries. Therefore, it is better for the upright man to be

careful to prerve the plainness of his inborn nature than to acquaint himlf with the

world and its denizens, and is also better for him to cast off all restraints than to yield

for the sake of the overall benefit in matters of trifling importance.

The heart of a man who cultivates virtue should be as clear as the blue sky and the

broad daylight, so that others may never misunderstand it. But his talents should be

carefully locked away like precious jewels, so that others may not lightly ascertain

them.
