But in the real world, people have to frequently shuttle between these two lifestyles, sometimes not sure whether they are “at ease” or “in a rush”.For example, we are enjoying our holidays in the resort while suddenly we receive phone calls from the boss who tells us there are some troubles with our customers and work-so at this moment the modern, convenient and advanced device shows its vicious and gloomy features-and we lose all our interest. The subsequent leisure is the mere showy for we are in a restless and anxious state of mind.2011 年专八真题英译汉原文When flying over Nepal, its easy to soar in your imagination and pretend youre tiny-a butterfly - and drift ing above one of those three-dime nsional topographical maps architects use, the circli ng con tour lines replaced by the terraced rice paddies that surro und each high ridge.?Nepal is a small country, and from the windows of our plane floating eastward at 12,000 feet, one can see clearly the brilliant white mirage of the high Himalayas thirty miles of the left win dow.
