Part 2 汉译英(40分)
It isn’t often that one has the chance to congratulate a noted woman writer on her 80th birthday. So
on October 5 last year,when I went to Bing Xin’s house,I felt very excited. I explained that I
hoped she would tell me something about how she became a poet. “I haven’t written poetry for
many years,” she said smiling. “But I still love to read good poetry.”
Bing Xin was fortunate to have parents who encouraged her to study and write. When she was
attending a women’s college in Beijing in 1919,an event occurred which changed the whole
course of her life. That was the May 4th Movement,a patriotic democratic movement started by
students in Beijing. The mass demonstrations made a deep impression on her. She threw herself
into the struggle and was put in charge of publicity by the Student Union. She wrote poems,
articles and stories,attacking imperialism and feudalism in its various forms.
Going to the U.S. in 1923 to study literature,she wrote down her impressions on the way and
during her stay there. These were published in the collection
To Little Readers.
The book brought
her instant fame,not only because she was a woman writer,but also because of the noble
sentiments in the book. Quite a few younger writers say it was Bing Xin’s writings that started
them on the road they have since followed.
