TRANSLATIONS TEST (2) (30 minutes)

Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.

長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，科學(xué)與藝術(shù)之間的關(guān)系一直是剃頭擔(dān)子一頭熱：科學(xué)熱戀著藝術(shù)，藝術(shù)卻拒科學(xué)與千里之外。

許多大科學(xué)家一生鐘愛(ài)藝術(shù)，且懂藝術(shù)，從中汲取養(yǎng)料，善養(yǎng)浩然之氣，或得到人生最大安慰。相反，熱愛(ài)自然科學(xué)并且理解工程技術(shù)的文學(xué)藝術(shù)家真可謂鳳毛麟角。

藝術(shù)家對(duì)自然科學(xué)望而生畏，敬而遠(yuǎn)之，原因之一是里面有一大堆高深的數(shù)學(xué)公式。其實(shí)，撇開(kāi)數(shù)學(xué)，繞過(guò)那一大堆公式，一門(mén)學(xué)科的基本思想還是可以被我們理解和欣賞的。這恰如我們雖然看不懂莫扎特樂(lè)曲的總譜，卻照樣能同它的主旋律產(chǎn)生共鳴，擊節(jié)稱贊。
