Part I Translate the following passage into Chinese : 40 points
The advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of
success and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is measured by income, and
while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is
concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to
increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a
higher income can procure. However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of
building up a reputation, whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity
of propose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most
men this comes chiefly through their work. In this respect those women whose lives are
occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside
the home. The domesticated wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself, is
taken for granted by her husband (who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is
valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities. Of course, this does not
apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful
gardens and become the envy of their neighbors; but such women are comparatively few, and
for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds
brings to men and to professional women.
The satisfaction of killing time and of affording some outlet, however modest, for
ambition, belongs to most work, and is sufficient to make even a man whose work is dull
happier on the average than a man who has no work at all. But when work is interesting, it is
capable of giving satisfaction of a far higher order than mere relief from tedium. The kinds of
work in which there is some interest may be arranged in a hierarchy. I shall begin with those
which are only mildly interesting and end with those that are worthy to absorb the whole
energies of a great man.
