TRANSLATIONS TEST (2) (30 minutes)

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

　　長期以來，科學與藝術之間的關系一直是剃頭擔子一頭熱：科學熱戀著藝術，藝術卻拒科學與千里之外。

　　許多大科學家一生鐘愛藝術，且懂藝術，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，熱愛自然科學并且理解工程技術的文學藝術家真可謂鳳毛麟角。

　　藝術家對自然科學望而生畏，敬而遠之，原因之一是里面有一大堆高深的數學公式。其實，撇開數學，繞過那一大堆公式，一門學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曲的總譜，卻照樣能同它的主旋律產生共鳴，擊節(jié)稱贊。
