Part Ⅳ TranslationDirections: Put the following passage into English. 1. 我认为没有人不喜欢到处去看看:多看看他人,多阅他乡,不但可以认识世界,亦可认识自己。有人旅行时乘豪华游轮,谢灵运在世大概也会如此。有人背负行囊,翻山越岭;有人骑自行车环游天下。这些都令我羡慕。我所优为的,却是驾车长征,去看天涯海角。我的太太比我更爱旅行,所以夫妻两人正好互做旅伴,这一点只怕徐霞客也要羡慕。不过徐霞客是大旅行家、大探险家,我们,只是浅游而已。
I don't think people don't like to go and have a look around: look at more people and travel more countries, which can make you not only understand the world, but also know yourself. Some people travel by luxury cruise ships. Xie Lingyun, a poet, if he is still alive now, will probably do like this. Some carry luggage to tramp over mountains and through ravines. And some ride bikes to travel around the world. And all these ways make me jealous. But I prefer to drive to visit the remotest corners of the globe. My wife loves travel more than me, so we two are travelling companions of each other, which may make the traveler Xu Xiake envious. However, Xu Xiake is a great traveler and explorer, and we are just travelling around.

Reflection on Plagiarism
With the rapid development of the advanced technology and the fierce competition in the society, more and more scholars choose to plagiarize to meet their targets. Why do so many people, even some famous professors copy others' fruits?
Plagiarism is not a good thing because it violates copyright and misleads the young that they can realize their dreams without hard work. Plagiarism can have catastrophic consequences for one's career as a student. For one thing, their personal credibility is ruined because of plagiarism. For another thing, without effective research experiences, one is unlikely to acquire depth of analyses or originality of insights, both of which are indispensible parts of one's career development, whether in corporations, governments or academic organizations. Ultimately, the plagiarists themselves are to suffer. Once a plagiarist is found, he will be deprived of copyright and gain nothing from his "works". Also, the plagiarist must compensate the original author.
In order to find a way out of plagiarism, several measures could be taken. Firstly, we should strengthen morality education, helping more people know more clearly that honesty is a traditional Chinese virtue. Secondly, university authorities need to tighten rules and regulations to leave no plagiarists unpunished. Thirdly, the government should establish a strict supervising system for the reviewers and allocate more money for recruiting qualified reviewers.
All these measures will certainly reduce the number of academic plagiarism. But most importantly, to stifle plagiarism in the cradle is far better than to solve such a problem after it has taken place.
