Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)
My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realized I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be honest, I said it , because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream—I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course “Fashion Media & Promotion.” 【参考译文】
我一直梦想着能找到一个结合时尚与出版的工作。中学毕业前两年,我学习了缝纫设计课程,认为自己继而能够学习时尚设计。然而,期间,发现自己在该领域不够优秀,不足以在未来与其他富有创造力的人竞争。因此,得出结论:这条道路不适合我。在申请大学之前,我告诉大家自己会选择新闻专业,因为写作一直都是我最喜欢的事情之一。但是,说实话,当时这样说,是因为我认为时尚于我而言就是个梦想。我知道完全没有人相信我会进入时尚这一行。因此,我决定去寻找一些课程,既与时尚相关、又涉及写作。就在这时,我注意到了《时尚媒体与营销》这门课程。

My Dream
My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! 【参考译文】 我的梦想
我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。在我中学毕业的两年前,我参加了一个缝纫和设计课程,原以为我能再继续参加一个时装设计的课程。然而,就在这个课程上,我意识到,将来在这个领域,我是无法和那些富于创新精神的精英们相媲美的。于是,我断定到这条路走不通。在申请上大学之前,我和所有人都讲,我想学新闻学,因为,写作曾经是,现在也是我最喜欢的活动之一。但是,说实话,我之所以这样说,是因为我以为从事时装设计不过是一个梦想,我也知道,除了我之外,没有人能想象出我会从事时装设计的工作。 【翻译解析】
1. My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing.
参考译文:我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。 句子分析:这个句子是简单句,句子主干是My dream has always been to work,后面的部分是状语。难点的地方在于状语部分somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing, 这里somewhere不需要翻译出来避免后面的介词短语重复,抽象理解为在时尚设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。
2. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course.

47、【参考范文】 Dear Professor Williams,
I felt much honored when I received your invitation to give a presentation about Chinese culture to the international students of your college. I would much like to do this job. So I am writing to tell you something about the presentation to be given.
The focus of my presentation will be Chinese traditional festivals, such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-autumn Day. In the speech, I will introduce the origin and conventions of these festivals. For example, the Mid-Autumn Day, falling on the 15th of August in the Chinese lunar calendar, is a traditional Chinese holiday for family members and loved ones to gather together. In addition to enjoying the glorious full moon on this day, Chinese people will also eat festival-moon cakes, recite ancient Chinese poems as well as guess lantern riddles. I believe these knowledge will help the foreign students obtain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
I am really looking forward to sharing these with all of the international students.

Dear Professor Williams,
I feel really delighted and honored to be invited by you to give a presentation to the foreign students, and I will certainly be careful to prepare for the making of it.
To let the overseas students know much about our Chinese culture, I think that my presentation is supposed to include at least two key points. On the one hand, I will put much stress on the history of China. You must know that our China is an ancient country with a pretty long history. On the other hand, my second strong point should be put on the main diet in China. The reason is that Chinese people in different regions have totally different inclination to choose food and Chinese food everywhere is quite delicious.
Those two points are what I would like to emphasize, and I would like to know of your opinions on this and I wish you could give me some further ideas on it. I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 真题解析
今年的小作文可谓既特别又不特别。特别之处在于历史上真题从来没有提及过presentation写法相关的话题被提到且并非直接考察邀请,而是考察对于邀请的回复;而并不特别的地方在于考察形式非常稳定,依然是书信,这个类别是平时考生除了拿出10%的精力在告示类题目上之外依然需要90%的精力去复习的内容. 此书信从内容上看与2012年英语一真题小作文的写法如出一辙,2012年的真题是要求给留学生提出一些校园生活的建议。而2017年的这一篇非常技巧性地拐了两个小弯,一个是邀请信不直接考而考察回复的句型,另一个是表面上是做presentation的准备而实质上在表达上完全是建议信的套路。
从该书信的称呼来看,属于知道对方姓名且知其职业或身份,那么如果写成Dear Sir or Madam, 或者To Whom It May Concern,是不合理的,而且直呼其名不加头衔也同样不合适,因此要使用Dear Professor Williams. 注意这几个单词全部都需要大写开头字母。尤其大家直接用笔来写的时候,一定要尽量突出首字母。
