IV. Paragraph Translation (30 points)
A. Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. (15 points)
46. President Clinton realized — as all of us must — that today’s economy is global. We live in an era in which information, goods and capital speed around the globe, every hour of every day. Whether we like it or not, all of our fortunes are tied together. We are truly interdependent.
America supports international trade because we believe fundamentally that trade will enrich those nations who embrace its discipline. The great promise of trade is its potential to promote mutual prosperity — and to strengthen the bonds between sovereign nations.
The U. S. and China both demonstrate the potential of trade to improve the lives of our people. You know better than I the great achievements of the Chinese economy over the past two decades.

快樂是一抹微云，痛苦是壓城的烏云，這不同的云彩，在你生命的天邊重疊著，在“夕陽無限好”的時候，就給你造成一個美麗的黃昏。
一個生命到了“只是近黃昏”的時節，落霞也許會使人留戀，惆悵。但人類的生命是永不止息的。地球不停地繞著太陽自轉。
