汉译英：1徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省， 足迹几乎遍及全国 他在考察的过程中， 从来不盲目 迷信书本上的结论 他发现前人研究地理的记载有许多很不可靠的地方 为了进行真实细致 的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉；为了弄清大自然的真相，他 总是挑选道路艰险的山区， 人迹稀少的森林进行考察， 发现了许多奇山秀景； 他常常选择不 同的时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观察变换的奇景Xu Xiake toured and investigated 16 provinces in his lifetime, covering almost the whole of China/ the whole country. When he was carrying out his investigations, he never took blind belief in the conclusions in the books. Instead he found a lot of unreliable points in the geographic records taken by his predecessors. In order to make his investigations reliable and thorough, he seldom traveled by carriage or boat. Instead, he took long, arduous trips on foot almost all the time, climbing mountains and hills. In order to learn about the truth of nature, he always chose to conduct investigations in mountainous areas with dangerous roads and in lonely / untraveled woods, where he discovered a lot of magnificent peaks and beautiful sights.2可是我却哭了。

For no other reason than that I was a foolish little thing who loved candy, with few to love me because of my plain face.When I glow up, I could never forget that apart from my own mother, no one had loved me so fondly and so disinterestedly, with no expectations whatever.I often think of him now, and have tried to find that tobacco pouch that had looked like a piece of pork liver. But I don 'tknow what became of it.3多少年来， 我养成了一个习惯： 每天早晨四点在黎明以前起床工作。

我不出去跑步或散 步，而是一下床就干活儿 因此我对黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感觉到的 我从前在什 么报上读过一篇文章， 讲黎明时分天安门广场上的清洁工人 那情景必然是非常动人的， 可 惜我从未能见到，只是心向往之而已For many years, I have been in the habit of getting up before daybreak to start work at four. Instead of going out for a jog or walk, I 'll set about my work as soon as I 'm out of bed. As a result, it is from inside my study that I've got the feel of predawn Beijing. Years ago, I hit upon a newspaper article about street cleaners in Tian'anmen Square at daybreak. It must have been a very moving scene, but what a pity I haven 't seen it with my own eyes.
