汉译英试题训练

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

看人

疾风知劲草，路遥知马力。观察一个人很难，但也不是完全没有尺度，可以从应对不同情况的态度，观察期各种能力。有人面对需要担当起责任的大事或难以解决的事情时，总是采取推卸责任或逃避的态度，如此消极，此人岂能承担天下重任？所以勇于担当责任的人，总是在关键时刻挺身而出，肩负起责任。这样的人，由于有高深的修养和品性，无论是顺境还是逆境，都有博大的胸怀和气度，显示出“任凭风吹浪打，胜似闲庭信步”的英雄气度。这就是值得十分信赖的人。

参考答案

参考答案:

Observing People

Sturdy grass withstands hing winds and distance tests a horse'strength.It is hard to observe a person,but it is not entirely without any rules.We can observe a person's ability from the attitudes he deals with different kinds of situations.Some people would shirk the responsibility or escape when confronted with the big affairs which he needs shoulder the responsibility or some tough problems.With such a passive attitude,how could this person shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world？So the people who are brave enough to shoulder responsibilities would always step out at the crucial time.With the profound accomplishment and moral character,this kind of people have the wide heart and bearing no matter in the favorable circumstance or not.He will present the heroic bearing of “let the wind blow and waves beat,better than idly strolling in courtyard.”It is the person that can wholly be trusted.
