5、o ask sb for sth many times and in a way that is annoying depraved 墮落的 morally bad3、 句子翻譯 （注：連續(xù)的3-5句為一小段，找出考試比較可能考的小段）para.3A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For mens minds will either feed upon（滋養(yǎng)） their own good or upon others evil; and who wanteth（缺少） the one wi

6、ll prey upon（陷害） the other; and whoso is out of hope to attain to anothers virtue, will seek to come at even hand（求得平衡 ） by depressing anothers fortune.（翻譯吧?。o德者必會嫉妒有道德的人。因為人的心靈如若不能從自身的優(yōu)點中取得養(yǎng)料，就必定要找別人的缺點作為養(yǎng)料。而嫉妒者往往是自己既沒有優(yōu)點，又看不到別人的優(yōu)點的，因此他只能用敗壞別人幸福的辦法來安慰自己。當一個人自身缺乏某種美德的時候，他就一定貶低別人的這種美德，以求實現(xiàn)兩者的平衡。para.

7、4A man that is busy and inquisitive（好打聽的） is commonly envious. For to know much of other mens matters cannot be because all that ado（無謂的忙亂） may concern his own estate; therefore it must needs be that he taketh a kind of play-pleasure（戲劇式的樂趣） in looking upon the fortunes of others. Neither can he tha

8、t mindeth but his own business find much matter for envy. For envy is a gadding（游蕩的） passion, and walketh the streets, and doth not keep home: 嫉妒者必定是多問好事的。他們之所以特別關心別人，并非因為事情與他們的切身利害有關，而是為了通過發(fā)現(xiàn)別人的不愉快，來使自己得到一種賞心悅目的愉快。其實每一個埋頭深入自己事業(yè)的人，是沒有功夫去嫉妒別人的。因為嫉妒是一種四處游蕩的情欲，能享有他的只能是閑人。para.6Deformed（畸形的） persons, an

9、d eunuchs（宦官）, and old men, and bastards（私生子）, are envious. For he that cannot possibly mend his own case will do what he can to impair（破壞） anothers; except these defects light upon a very brave and heroical nature, which thinketh to make his natural wants part of his honor; in that it should be sai

10、d, that an eunuch, or a lame man, did such great matters; affecting the honor of a miracle有某種難以克服的缺陷的人如殘疾人、宦官、老年人或私生子，是容易嫉妒別人的。由于自己的缺陷無法補償，因此需要損傷別人來求得補償。只有當這種缺陷是落在一個具有偉大品格的人身上時才不會如此。那種品格能夠讓一種缺陷轉(zhuǎn)化為光榮。負著殘疾的恥辱，去完成一件大事業(yè)，使人們更加為之驚嘆。para.7The same is the case of men that rise after calamities（災禍） and misfo

11、rtunes. For they are as men fallen out with the times（時代的落伍者）; and think other mens harms a redemption（補償）of their own sufferings.經(jīng)歷過巨大的災禍和磨難的人，也容易產(chǎn)生嫉妒。因為他們是時代的落伍者，這種人樂于把別人的失敗，看作對自己過去所歷痛苦的抵償。para.8They that desire to excel in too many matters, out of levity（輕?。?and vain glory（虛榮）, are ever envious.

12、For they cannot want work; it being impossible but many in some one of those things should surpass them. Which was the character of Adrian the Emperor; that mortally（非常） envied poets and painters and artificers, in works wherein he had a vein（擅長） to excel.那些因其輕薄和自負而想在各方面都勝過他人者亦常嫉妒，因為他們絕不會缺少嫉妒的對象，在他們

13、想爭勝的諸多方面之某一方面，總會有許多人會勝過他們。羅馬皇帝哈德良就是這種嫉妒者，他善詩畫和工藝，因此他非常嫉妒真正的詩人、畫家和技師。para.9Lastly, near kinsfolks(同族親友), and fellows in office, and those that have been bred together, are more apt to envy their equals when they are raised. For it doth upbraid（苛責） unto them their own fortunes, and pointeth（指責） at the

14、m, and cometh oftener into their remembrance（回憶）, and incurreth（引起） likewise more into the note of others; and envy ever redoubleth from speech and fame. 最后，近親、同事、與同養(yǎng)之人，最容易在平輩騰達的時候嫉妒他們。因為這些騰達的人們可說是以他們的幸福顯出了同輩的不良;指責了他們。并且這些騰達的人們?nèi)胪叺子洃浿休^繁，同樣地，常惹他們注意;而嫉妒之心是由言談及名聲而倍增的。para.11Persons of noble blood are

15、less envied in their rising. For it seemeth but right done to their birth. Besides, there seemeth not much added to their fortune; and envy is as the sunbeams, that beat hotter upon a bank or steep rising ground, than upon a flat.出身貴族者在升遷時較少遭人嫉妒，因為那看上去無非是出身高貴的必然結(jié)果，再說這種錦上添花似乎也不會給他們帶來更多的好處。且嫉妒猶如日光，它射在

16、陡坡峭壁上比射在平地上更使人感覺其熱。para.13Notwithstanding（盡管）, so much is true, that the carriage of greatness in a plain and open manner (so it be without arrogancy and vain glory) doth draw less envy than if it be in a more crafty（狡詐）and cunning（狡猾的） fashion. For in that course a man doth but disavow（否認） fortune;

17、 and seemeth to be conscious of his own want in worth; and doth but teach others to envy him. 以直率坦蕩的態(tài)度對待富資比用虛偽狡詐的態(tài)度更少遭人妒忌，只要那直率坦蕩中沒有傲慢與自負的成分；因為用后一種態(tài)度者無非是否認自己的幸運，而那會讓人覺得他自己都感到他不配享受富貴，因此他恰好是教別人來嫉妒自己。para.17But this is a sure rule, that if the envy upon the minister be great, when the cause of it in hi

18、m is small; or if the envy be general in a manner upon all the ministers of an estate; then the envy (though hidden) is truly upon the state itself.但有一條千真萬確的規(guī)律，那就是如果某位大臣并無甚過失卻招來公眾強烈的嫉妒，或是公眾的嫉妒在某種程度上是針對一國之所有大臣，那嫉妒的矛頭（雖隱而不露）實際上就是指向國家本身了。4、 簡答題例：1. 哪些人容易被人嫉妒？A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever e

19、nvieth virtue in others. 無德者必會嫉妒有道德的人。A man that is busy and inquisitive（好打聽的） is commonly envious. 嫉妒者必定是多問好事的。Men of noble birth are noted to be envious towards new men when they rise. 一個后起之秀是招人嫉妒的，尤其要受那些貴族元老的嫉妒。Deformed（畸形的） persons, and eunuchs（宦官）, and old men, and bastards（私生子）, are envious.有某種難以克服的缺陷的人如殘疾人、宦官、老年人或私生子，是容易嫉妒別人的。The same is the case of men that rise after calamities（災禍） and misfortunes. 經(jīng)歷過巨大的災禍和磨難的人，也容易產(chǎn)生嫉妒。They that desire to excel in too many matters, out of levity（輕?。?and vain glory（虛榮）, are ever envious.那些因其輕薄和自負而想在各方面都勝過他人者亦常嫉妒near kinsfolks, and fellows in
