Equal
are the generous gifts granted/distributed (endowed)
by Nature to (on) all human individuals, whether
they are wealthy or impoverished (be they wealthy
or impoverished). Therefore, all human individuals
have become unanimously and profoundly indebted
to (obliged to, attached to, dependent on) Nature.
This is particularly true in rural areas where ways
of life have remained intact and unchanged for people
for thousands of years-sowing crops and grapes,
brewing and drinking wines, grazing and milking
cows, hoeing grasses and planting flower-trees,
going to churches for religious prayers and services
on weekends, playing musical instruments, dancing
and singing on squares. The fields in former times
are still their present-day homes glowing with human
warmth. In such a way, each locality has evolved
its own unique folk tales and has transmitted its
distinctive habits and customs.

B:Translate the following underlined part of the
English text into Chinese
(原 文)
The
word "winner" and "loser" have
many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner,
we do not mean one who makes someone else lose.
To us, a winner is one who responds authentically
by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and
genuine, both as an individual and as a member of
a society.
Winners
do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what
they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves
and as such do not use their energy putting on a
performance, maintaining pretence, and manipulating
others. They are aware that there is a difference
between being loving and acting loving, between
being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable
and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to
hide behind a mask.
Winners
are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use
their own knowledge. They can separate facts from
opinions and don't pretend to have all the answers.
They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but
come to their own conclusions. Although winners
can admire and respect other people, they are not
totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
Winners
do not play "helpless", nor do they play
the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility
for their own lives.
