短文翻译(英译汉)
As a child—and as an adult as well—Bill was untidy. It has been said that in order to counteract this, Mary drew up weekly clothing plans for him. On Mondays he might go to school in blue, on Tuesdays in green, on Wednesdays in brown, on Thursdays in black, and so on Weekend meal schedules might also be planned in detail.
Bill’s contemporaries, even at the age, recognized that he was exceptional. Every year, he and his friends would go to summer camp. Bill especially liked swimming and other sports. One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team. We all knew Bill was smarter than us. Even back then, when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood.” Bill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged him to Lakeside—an all-boys’ school for exceptional students. It was Seattle’s most exclusive school and was noted for its rigorous academic demands.” Lakeside allowed students to pursue their own interests, to whatever extent they wished. The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential. It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.

听力原文:M: Hey, don't look so worried.
W: (whispering) I don't know what to do with all these knives and forks and glasses. What do I do?
M: Ah, so that's the problem, don't worry, it's easy. Use the cutlery from the outside to the inside. After each course the dirty dishes and cutlery will be taken away. The different glasses are for different kinds of drink. If you get stuck, just watch someone else.
W: OK, OK. I think I've got it. Could you explain some more about etiquette? I don't want to do something that looks really stupid!
M: Well, the most important thing is not to make noise when you eat. Parents always tell their children "don't talk with your mouth full" and "never chew with your mouth open".
W: OK, so that's a bit different. Sometimes it's polite in Asia to make noise. What else?
M: At a formal meal, in a place like this, you should always have your napkin on your lap and don't rest your arms on the table either. If you are at someone's house, it is always polite to compliment the cook. I guess that last part is the same everywhere in the world.
W: Well, although you guys didn't cook it, thanks for a great meal!
M: It's a good job I didn't cook it, I can burn water!
W: What do I do if I need to leave the table? Do I need to say where I'm going?
M: Don't go into too much detail. The safest option is to just say "please excuse me for a minute".
W: OK, well, in that case. Please excuse me for a minute.
