Section B English to Chinese
原文呈现:
At its heart, psycholinguistic work consists of two questions.
One is, What knowledge of language is needed for us to use
language? In a sense, we must know a language to use it, but we are
not always fully aware of this knowledge. A distinction may be
drawn between tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge. Tacit
knowledge refers to the knowledge of how to perform various acts,
whereas explicit knowledge refers to the knowledge of the processes
or mechanisms used in these acts. We sometimes know how to do
something without knowing how we do it. For instance, a baseball
pitcher (投手) might know how to throw a baseball 90 miles an hour
but might have little or no explicit knowledge of the muscle groups
that are involved in this act. Similarly, we may distinguish
between knowing how to speak and knowing what processes are
involved in producing speech. Generally speaking, much of our
linguistic knowledge is tacit rather than explicit.
参考译文:
心理语言学的研究包括两个核心问题。第一,我们使用语言需要什么语言知识?从某种意义上说,我们必须拥有某种语言的知识才能使用该语言,但却并不总是能完全意识到这种知识。我们可能要对隐性知识和显性知识加以区分。隐性知识是指如何执行各种动作所拥有的知识,而显性知识是指在这些动作中使用的过程或者机制所蕴含的知识。有时,我们知道如何做某事,却无法说出我们是怎么做的。比如,一名棒球投手可能知道如何以每小时90英里的速度把球抛出去,但对有关参与此活动的肌群的显性知识却知之甚少,或一无所知。同样地,我们知道如何说话,但却不清楚言语产生包含哪些过程。总的来说,我们的大多数语言知识都是隐性知识而非显性知识。
Part Ⅵ Writing

My Views on the Sharing Economy
The sharing economy refers to the economic pattern in which people
share access to resources, such as goods, services and data. This
newly emerging trend would be impossible without the development of
technology. It is the Internet that makes the sharing cheaper and
easier and helps to strike a balance between supply and demand.
Time magazine has listed the sharing economy as one of the “10
ideas that will change the world”. As far as the comment is
concerned, I cannot agree with Time more.
As one of the greatest benefits of the digital age, the sharing
economy arises from our oldest instinct as human beings. There is
always an urge for us to connect with others, especially in an era
when families are scattered and we do not really know the people
who live nearby. It has been said that “Joys shared with others are
more enjoyed.” However, in my eyes, the resources shared with
others are more beneficial to our society.
On the one hand, sharing economy leads to a more efficient use of
resources. Some items are expensive to buy but widely owned by
people who do not make the best use of them. Occasional sharing may
provide extra income for the owners and can be less costly for the
borrowers. If managed well, a win-win situation is achieved for
both parties in the process. Besides, sharing economy contributes
to environmental protection. Take accommodation for example. The
more hotels are built, the more resources are required, which might
in turn result in a decrease in arable land and public green space.
On the other hand, the transaction cost is reduced due to the use
of Internet and various apps. With a smart phone in your hand, it
is not difficult to find a potential host in the neighboring area.
People are meeting increasingly on screens, discussing online and
purchasing goods domestic and overseas, paying through Internet
payment system.
To summarize, although the sharing economy is not perfect at
present because of concerns in insurance, legal liability, safety
and the like, I believe, quite firmly, that it represents the
future trend and has the power to change the world for the
convenience and flexibility it brings to us. Just as the old
Chinese saying goes, the defects cannot obscure the virtues of a
splendid jade, and I assume it also applies to the sharing
economy.
