Passage 1: English- Chinese Translation. (50 points)
Happy is the house that shelters a friend! It might well be built, like a festal bower or arch, to
entertain him a single day. Happier, if he know the solemnity of that relation, and honor its law! He
who offers himself a candidate for that covenant comes up, like an Olympian, to the great games where
the first-born of the world are the competitors. He proposes himself for contest where Time, Want,
Danger, are in the lists, and he alone is victor who has truth enough in his constitution to preserve the
delicacy of his beauty from the wear and tear of all these. The gifts of fortune may be present or absent,
but all the hap in that contest depends on intrinsic nobleness and the contempt of trifles. There are two
elements that go to the composition of friendship, each so sovereign that I can detect no superiority in
either, no reason why either should be first named. One is Truth. A friend is a person with whom I may
be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal
that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which
men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical
atom meets another. Sincerity is the luxury allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest
rank, that being permitted to speak truth, as having none above it to court or conform unto. Every man
alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach
of our fellow man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought
from him under a hundred folds. I knew a man, who, under a certain religious frenzy, cast off this
drapery, and omitting all compliment and commonplace, spoke to the conscience of every person he
encountered, and that with great insight and beauty. At first he was resisted, and all men agreed he was
mad. But persisting, as indeed he could not help doing, for some time in this course, he attained to the
advantage of bringing every man of his acquaintance into true relations with him. No man would think
of speaking falsely with him, or of putting him off with any chat of markets or reading-rooms. But
every man was constrained by so much sincerity to the like plaindealing, and what love of nature, what
poetry, what symbol of truth he had, he did certainly show him. But to most of us society shows not its
face and eye, but its side and its back. To stand in true relations with men in a false age is worth a fit of
insanity, is it not? We can seldom go erect. Almost every man we meet requires some civility,
—requires to be humored; he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in
his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane
man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me. My friend gives me entertainment without requiring any
stipulation on my part.
