( 一 ) 将下列短文译成汉语（ 15 分）

46. The world used to be simpler. It was divided into the “ have ” nations, and the many more “ have-not ” nations. Put it in another way, there was the “ First World ” and the “ Third World ” . In recent decades, many Asian countries have joined the “ haves ” . Certainly, by most standards, places like Japan and Singapore are rich. But just as it seems that they might relax, they are suddenly faced with a new challenge: the economic rules have changed. The emerging divide is no longer between the traditional haves and have-nots, but between that are wired and those that are not. Of course, the developed countries already have the edge: Singapore, with a population of 4 million, has more than 500,000 computers, while Vietnam, with 80 million people, possesses only 6,000 machines.

( 二 ) 将下列短文译成英语（ 15 分）

47. 每年春季，数以万计的中外客商云集申城，参加一年一度的华东出口商品交易会。上海各类商品在这里与全国各地一比长短。上海的优势在于科技实力，因此高技术产品的出口应成为上海外贸出口增长的“排头兵”。

著名物理学 家杨振宁教授曾说：“高科技战场是中国超越发达国家的主战场，也是最后的战场。”走发展高科技贸易之路，是历史的必然，也是未来的需要。
