Translate the following two paragraphs into English.(20 points)几年前我认识一个非常聪明但任性的中国青年，他急切地想去美国读大学，但又没有被他申请的长春藤合会名牌大学录取。所幸的是，一所在美国人，特别是受过高等教育的美国人当中享有盛誉的规模较小的文科大学向他提供了奖学金，但这所大学在中国几乎不为人所知。凡是听我说起

5、他的情况的美国人都觉得他真该高兴，然而，这位年轻人却被忧虑所困扰。这所大学的名次在他所咨询的排行榜上并不靠前，他的同学全然不知道这所学校，因此同学们的祝贺就不那么热烈了。难道这一“成功”真是个失败？他是不是该留在北京上那所录取了他的尖子大学？或者是他到了美国就转学到一所他认为原本应该接受他的名牌大学去？当启程的时间到来时，他是那么拿不定注意，乃至向朋友表示遗憾。这是个名次多么有害的例子。要想知道什么意味着最好的大学显然是不可能的，因为每个人的标准都与别人不同；即使他们都同意某一个特定的标准，他们对一个学校的估价也往往反映出信息的不完整和个人的不同看法等问题。我也许特别关注图书馆的质量，你可能强

8、22. We expected so much energy trying to fix who we are; we rarely get to know ourselves. If we realized how precious the gist of life is, we would not waste a moment trying to improve it.

19、e love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin.
