英译汉
A ：Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate， but it is only too easy to imagine＂It will never happen to me＂。（1） Unfortunately， statistics show that it really can happen to you and， if you live in a large city， you run twice the risk of being a victim.
B ：Research has also been done into the way people‘s behavior changes in a number of small， apparently unimportant ways when they lie.（2） It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time， they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.（3） To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.
C ：Todays‘s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.（4） So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.（5）
D： Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents， he is fed， looked after and loved， whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.（6） In addition， life is always presenting new things to the child——things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains： He is not so free to do what he wishes to do； he is continually being told not to do things， or being punished for what he has done wrong.（7）
E ：Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it.（8） And unfortunately， our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.
