汉译英：
痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸部郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而出。 院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪。他在孩子所带的房间里来回踱步，这房子里还有其他小孩，整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑。就让孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩充为医疗作用的看护中心，这里是留住孩子做好的地方。
1: Pain gathered in the heart, hot burnt between eyebrows , depression suffused in the chest, a stream of gas rushed out the stomach through the throat. When the dean said that the child was in developmental delay, she got lost in the messy mind. He strided up and down in the house where the child stayed in. There was only one window in the whole room, shadows whirlinged out of the window. Let children stay behind, here are the benevolent priests and nuns, here will be extended to a foster care centre for medical function , here is the best place to keep the children.。
英译汉：but such policies seem instead to have created the confitions for even more campus violence.some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges under the watchful supervision of bouncers(夜总会，就把等保安人员)now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments,
where they no longer control their behaviour their drinking.The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to rece the availability of illicit drugs.
ring recent years, the federal government has been quite successful in recing the supply of sterrt drugs.as field are burned and contraband(违禁品) confiscated,the price of
street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace.unfortunately,the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace.
但是，这样的政策似乎反而更能为校园暴力创造条件。一些大学生先前陶醉于夜总会保安人员严密监控下的酒吧及酒廊，现在撤退到他们大学生互助会圣所房子和公寓的避难中,在那里他们不再控制他们的酗酒行为这种自食其果的行为在他们试图降低非法毒品的获取也扮演了角色。近年来,联邦政府已经相当成功地减少了对零售药物的供应，违禁品当场销毁并没收。零售药物的价格曾一度暴涨至那些便宜的替代品开始有了竞争的市场。糟糕的是，那些便宜的替换品甚至比他们所替代的违禁药物更有害.
作文题目：A recent survey of 2000 college students asked about their attitudes towards phone calls and text-messaging (also known as short message service)and found the students' main goal was to pass along information in a little time, with as little small talk, as possible. “what they like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people”, says NaomiBaron ,a professor of linguistics at American university in Washington D.C., who concted the survey "what they like least is that other people can reach them" how far do you agree with Professor Baron
作文题目：最近，一项对2000名在校大学生进行的调查问到他们对手机通话和发送短信的态度，结果发现学生们最主要的目的是尽量花最少的时间，用最短的闲聊来传递信息。这项调查的发起人，位于华恒顿的美利坚大学（American University）的语言学教授巴伦（Naorni Baron）表示，手机最让他们喜欢的地方在于，他们可以通过手机与他人联系；他们最不喜欢的，就是别人可以通过手机联系到他们。你同意巴伦教授吗？
作文范文

『肆』 请问哪位师哥师姐那里有 法语专八 2012年到2014年真题答案的快考专八了，有真题没答案好着急。谢谢！
看看你现在的学校土木工程专业就业如何，一般毕业后就业单位有哪些。如果单位不专错的话就直接就业吧。属再考虑家里的情况，现在很多学校读研也要一些费用，你感觉没问题的话可以考虑继续读。有问题就先工作再读研。
如果你现在的学校土木学科比较强，有保送研究生的资格，那你就好好珍惜这个机会，平时好好学习，保送一个研究生。现在土木专业的学校进那些好的设计院是越来越难了的，对学历要求越来越高了。中铁的勘察设计院招人就很少，对毕业学校要求高，都是传统土木强校的才稍好进一些。
好好想想吧。我是2012研究生毕业，呵呵。西南交大土木学院的。

『陆』 星火出的《2012英语专业八级考试历年真题点评》与《2012英语专业八级考试专八全真试题》有何区别
这两本书主要是抄解析的形式不一样：专八全真试卷的解析阅读理解部分多一个“长难句解析”部分，全真试卷就是前面是真题，后面是答案；历年真题点评的解析采取的是连线形式，解析部分也有原文对照，避免看解析的时候还要去翻前面的试题。另外，全真试卷一共是10套真题，点评一共是8套真题，都包括最新一年的2011年的真题。建议你可以先去书店翻翻对照一下，再在网上买就行。无所谓那个更好，只能说看自己更喜欢那种解析形式，内容都是很翔实的。
