for the real disorders and agitations of the passion. When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed. It requires no nice discern­ment or metaphysical head to mark the distinction between them.
  Here therefore we may divide all the perceptions of the mind into two classes or species, which are
distinguished by their different degrees of force and vivacity. The less forcible and lively are commonly
denominated thoughts or ideas. 43) Let us, therefore, use a little free-
dom, and call them impressions; employing that word in a sense somewhat different from the usual.
44) And impressions are distinguished from ideas, which are the
less lively perceptions, of which we are conscious, when we reflect on any of those sensations or move­ments above mentioned.
Nothing, at first view, may seem more unbounded than the thought of man, which not only es­capes all human power and authority,but is not even restrained within the limits of nature and reality. To form monsters, and join incongruous shapes and appearances, costs the imagination no more trouble
  than to conceive the most natural and familiar objects. 45) . What never was
seen, or heard of, may yet be conceived; nor is any thing beyond the power of thought, except what implies an absolute contradiction.

[A] A man in a fit of anger, is actuated in a very different manner from one who only thinks of
that emotion.
[B]But though our thought seems to possess this unbounded liberty, we shall find, upon a nearer
examination, that it is really confined within very narrow limits, and that all this creative power of the
mind amounts to no more than the faculty of compounding, transposing, augmenting, or diminishing
the materials afforded us by the senses and experience.
[C]But, except the mind be disordered by disease or madness, they never can arrive at such a
pitch of vivacity, as to render these perceptions altogether undistinguishable.
[D]The other species want a name in our language, and inmost others; I suppose, because it
was not requisite for any, but philosophical purposes, to rank them under a general term or appel­
lation.
[E] And while the body is confined to one planet, along which it creeps with pain and difficulty;
the thought can in an instant transport us into the mast distant regions of the universe; or even beyond
the universe, into the unbounded chaos, where nature is supposed to lie in total confusion.
[F] By the term impression, then, I mean all our more lively perceptions, when we hear, or see,
or feel, or love, or hate, or desire, or will.
[G] In short, all the materials of thinking are derived either from our outward or inward senti­
ment: the mixture and composition of these belongs alone to the mind and will. Or, to express myself
in philosophical language, all our ideas or more feeble perceptions are copies of our impressions or more
lively ones.

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your trans­lation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.10 points)
  Man first appeared on earth half a million years ago. Then he was little more than an animal; but early man had several big advantages over the animals. He had a large brain, he had an upright body, he had clever hands; and he had in his brain special groups of nerve cells, not present in animals, that enabled him to invent a language and use it to communicate with his fellow men. 46) This ability to speak was of great value because it allowed men to share ideas, and to plan together, so that tasks im­possible for a single person could be successfully undertaken by intelligent team-work. Speech also en­abled ideas to be passed on from generation to generation so that the stock of human knowledge slowly increased.
  It was these special advantages that put men far ahead of other living creatures in the struggle for existence. They can use their intelligence against their difficulties and master them.
  Since these far-off times, when he first appeared, man has achieved a great deal. He has used ani­mals, steam, electricity and oil to move himself more and more quickly from place to place. He has overcome rivers and seas with rafts, canoes, boats and ships of endless variety. 47) He mastered dark­ness, too, first with dim lights and later with bright, er and brighter lamps, until he can now make for himself so dazzling a light with an arc-lamp that, like the sun, it is too strong for his naked eyes.
  48) Man found that his own muscles were too weak for the work which he wanted to do; he ex­plored many forms of power — wind, water, steam, electricity — until now he has his hands on the ultimate source of physical energy, the nuclear power which ties together the smallest units from which all matter is made. From man’s earliest days the flight of birds has raised his wonder and desire. Why should he not fly as they did? Then he began to experiment. At last he learnt how to make the right machines to carry him through the air. Now he can fly faster than sound. Already he has plans for conquering space, and a series of experiments has been completed. 49) It will not be long now before man takes a giant step away from his planet and visits the moon, learning what it is like to have no weight to his body, no upward direction and no downward.
  Man, always a wanderer, has to overcome the difficulty of adapting himself to different climates, 50) Fortunately, in spite of having no thick skin or warm fur to protect him, he is peculiarly strong compared with other living creatures, most of whom are unable to live far outside the region that suits them best. Man, however, can go almost everywhere. You will find him living on the plains and up in the hills; he lives in damp areas and in dry; in the forests of the hot regions of the earth, and in snow huts in the Far North.
