Part I TRANSLATION (50%)

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.

While no one can say with certainty what the future holds for paper books, Stein believes that what is a plateau (平稳时期) now will, at some point, return to a steep incline. “We’re in a transitional period,” he says. “The affordances of screen reading will continuously improve and expand, offering people a reason to switch to screens.”

Books themselves, however, likely won’t disappear entirely, at least not anytime soon. Like woodblock printing and hand-processed film, printed pages may assume an aesthetic value. Books meant not to be read but to be looked at—art catalogues or coffee table collections—will likely remain in print form for longer as well. “Print will exist, but it will be in a different realm and will appeal to a very limited audience, like poetry does today,” Stein says. “However, the locus (某事发生的确切地点) of intellectual discourse is going to move away from print.”
