SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. 

      On August 6,  1997, when 55,000 people gathered in Hiroshima to commemorate the 46th anniversary  of the  devastating bombing that  killed  an  estimated  140,000 people  and brought World War Ⅱto a sudden halt, the city's newly elected mayor broke with tradition by adding a few uncustomay lines to the annual Peace Declaration. It should also be recalled, he declared, that“Japan inflicted great suffering and despair on the peoples of Asia and the Pacific during its reign of colonial domination and war. For this we are truly sorry. ”Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Japaness assalt on the U.S., he added, “Remembering all too well the  horror of  this war, starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending   with the atombombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we are determined anew to work for world peace.”

      Usually, in  Japan, when people  discuss the war  at  all, they  speak  of vicitimization: their own victimization by the militarists who led the country into battle and by the Americans who bombed  their  cities.  The  suffering  inflicted  by  the  imperial  army  on  the  peoples  of  Asia  is ignored, as is Japna's aggression in China and at Pearl Harbor. The appealing image of Japan the victim has no room for the underside of Japan the aggressor.
