八大山人①者,故前明宗室,为诸生,世居南昌。弱冠遭变,弃家遁奉新山中,剃发为僧。不数年,竖拂称宗师。住山二十年,从学者常百余人。临川令胡君亦堂闻其名,延之官舍。年余,竞忽忽不自得,遂发狂疾,忽大笑,忽痛哭竞日。一夕,裂其浮屠服,焚之,走还会城。独自徜徉市肆间,常戴布帽,曳长领袍,履穿踵决,拂袖翩跹行。市中儿随观哗笑,人莫识也。其侄某识之,留止其家。久之疾良已。山人工书法,行楷学大令、鲁公,能自成家;狂草颇怪伟。亦喜画水墨芭蕉、怪石、花竹及芦雁、汀凫,倚然无画家町畦②。人得之,争藏弃③以为重。饮酒不能尽二升,然喜饮。贫士或市人屠沽邀山人饮,辄往;往饮,辄醉。醉后墨渖淋漓,亦不甚爱惜。数往来城外僧舍,雏僧争嬲④之索画;至牵袂捉衿,山人不拒也。士友或馈遗之,亦不辞。然贵显人欲以数金易一石,不可得;或持绫绢至,直受之曰:“吾以作袜材。”以故贵显人求山人书画,乃反从贫士、山僧、屠沽儿购之。一日,忽大书“哑”字署其门,自是对人不交一言,然善笑而喜饮益甚。或招之饮,则缩项抚掌,笑声哑哑然。又喜为藏钩拇阵之戏,赌酒胜则笑哑哑,数负则拳胜者背,笑愈哑哑不可止,醉则往往欷歔泣下。予客南昌,雅慕山人,属北竺澹公期山人就寺相见,至日大风雨,予意山人必不出。顷之,澹公持寸札曰:“山人侵早已至。”予惊喜趣乎笋舆,冒雨行相见,握手熟视大笑。夜宿寺中剪烛谈,山人痒不自禁,辄作手语势。已乃索笔书几上相酬答,烛见跋⑤不倦。赞曰:世多知山人,然竞无知山人者。山人胸次汩津郁结,别有不能自解之故,如巨石窒泉,如湿絮之遏火,无可如何,乃忽狂忽喑,隐约玩世,而或者目之曰狂士、曰高人,浅之乎知山人也!哀哉!(节选自《八大山人传》)[注] ①八大山人:明末清初著名画家朱耷晚年的自号。② 翛(xiāo)然无画家町畦:自由自在不受画家规矩的约束。③弆(jǔ):收藏。④嬲(niǎo):纠缠。⑤跋:通“茇”,蜡烛根。 把文中画线的句子翻译成现代汉语。履穿踵决,拂袖翩跹行。

Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community. (61)Under modern coditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts. (62) Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of a country’s economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn tests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage. For example, they may encourage research in various ways, including the setting up of their own research centers; they may alter the structure of education, or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or tap resources hitherto unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing number of international projects related to science, economics and industry. In any case, all such interventions are heavily dependent on scientific advice and also scientific and technological manpower of all kinds.(63) Owing to the remarkable development in mass-communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above. At the same time, the normal rate of social change throughout the world is taking place at a vastly accelerated speed compared with the past. For example, (64)in the early industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization--with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed--was spread over nearly a century, whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so. All this has the effect of building up unusual pressures and tensions within the community and consequently presents serious problems for the governments concerned. (65) Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements--themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport. As a result of all these factors, governments are becoming increasingly dependent on biologists and social scientists for planning the appropriate programs and putting them into effect. Owing to the remarkable development in mass-communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above.
