　　四、翻譯(英譯漢)

　　51.The best evidence for the layered mantle(地幔)thesis is the well-established fact that volcanic rocks found on oceanic islands, islands believed to result from mantle plumes(地柱)arising from the lower mantle, are composed of material fundamentally different from that of the midocean ridge system, whose source, most geologists contend, is the upper mantle.

　　答案：分層地幔的最好證據(jù)就是在海島上發(fā)現(xiàn)的火山巖這一明顯的事實。島嶼被認為是從低層地幔升起的地柱形成的，它構成的基本成份與海中的山脊系統(tǒng)根本不同，許多地質(zhì)學家認為它起源于上層地幔。

　　Is it Necessary to Attend Training Classes?

　　All across the country a great diversity of custom-made classes are mushrooming, in which special training is provided concerning computer skills, arts, sports, and other extracurricular specialties like maths and writing. Among them language crash courses for various tests, such as CET, BEC, TOFEL, IELTS, GRE and so forth, are especially noticeable for its wide range and high attendance rate.

　　Some consider it advisable to attend such classes while others believe it unnecessary. The former argues that it’s far more effective to command these special skills with the help of an experienced trainer than to work at them on their own. They are convinced that these training classes can make up for what is not taught in school, hence, more competitive edge over their peers. The latter group of people, nonetheless, criticize it as a sheer waste of resources. They warn that the quality of most training courses is questionable, as they are marketed to get money out of our pocket rather than get knowledge into our head.

　　As far as I am concerned, a little bit of such special training does us no harm, but too much of it can only prove to be counter-productive. Anyhow, the deprived free time can be better invested in recreation at weekends, talking to an old friend, or simply enjoying a long-overdue vacation.
