【简答题】
Translate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了矛盾｡而最让现代人感到尴尬的是,面对重重矛盾,许多时候你却别无选择｡
匆忙与休闲是截然不同的两种生活方式｡但在现实生活中,人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭,有时也说不清自己到底是“休闲着”还是“匆忙着”｡譬如说,当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期,却忽然接到老板的电话,告诉我们客户或工作方面出了麻烦——现代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞､阴郁的面容——搞得人一下子兴趣全无,接下来的休闲只是徒有其表,因为心里已是火烧火燎了｡
参考答案
Being in haste and at leisure are two distinct lifestyles. But in real life, people have to shuttle between these two lifestyles frequently, without knowing whether they are "at leisure" or "in haste". For instance, when we are enjoying our holidays in a tourist attraction, a phone call from the boss tells us contingencies have happened with our clients or work. The hideous and gloomy side of the convenient modern high-tech device drives away all the interest. The following leisure time can only be reduced to the pure form, because we are already in a restless and anxious state of mind.
