Translate the following paragraph into English (Please write down your answer on the Answer Sheet 30%) 诗比散文难写，这是事实。散文之所以比较容易写，是因为它更接近我们口中的语言。可以说，散文是加过工的口语。我们都会说话，而且说的是散文，不是韵文。在日常交谈的时候，我们的话语难免层次不分明，用词未尽妥当，因为随想随说，来不及好好思索、细细推敲，也就是欠加工。 那么，我们既会说话，如果再会加工，就会写出较好的散文来。 It is true that poetry is harder to write than prose. Prose is easier to write because it is closer to the language we speak. It can be said that prose is an improved spoken language. We all speak, and we speak in prose, not verse. In daily conversation, it is inevitable that our discourse is not clear, and the words are not properly used, because it is not possible to think and deliberate carefully, which is not processed.If we can speak, then, if we can work on it, we can write better prose. IV . Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.(Please write down your answer on the Answer Sheet. 30%) A man whom I knew has died. He was the hospital mailman. It was I that presided over his death. A week ago I performed an exploratory operation upon him for acute surgical abdomen. That is the name given to an illness that is unknown, and for which there is no time to make a diagnosis with tests of the blood and urine, X-rays. I saw him writhing in pain, rolling from side to side, his knees drawn up, his breaths coming in short little draughts. The belly I lay the flat of my hand upon was hot to the touch. The slightest pressure of my fingers caused him to cry out. 我认识的一个人死了。他是医院的邮差是我害死了他。一周前，我为他做了急性腹部手术探查手术。这是对一种未知疾病的称呼，这种疾病没有时间通过血液和尿液测试，X 光来做出诊断。我看见他痛苦地扭动着，左右打滚，双膝弯曲，呼吸急促。我用手平躺着的肚子摸起来很烫。我的手指轻轻一按，他就叫了起来。 《 高级英语 （三） 》期末考试（A 卷） 答题纸 I I .
