I. Translate the Following Passage into Chinese. (50 Points)
The greatest legacy of the baby boom generation’s early adulthood has been that it asked all the right questions but resolved nothing. Raised by parents whose sacrifices during the Great Depression and World War II purchased for us the luxury of being able to question, we all understood the standards from which some of us were choosing to deviate.
But riven by disagreement, we have encouraged our children to believe that there are no touchstones, no true answers, no commitments worthy of sacrifice. There are no firm principles. That for every cause there is a countercause. That for every reason to fight there is a reason to run. That for every yin there is a yang.
How will our children react to this philosophical quagmire? My bet is that they will surprise us with their stability, that they will perhaps be slower to make commitments, but more serious when they do.
Someone who has bounced between two parents will not marry with the thought that “we can always get a divorce if it doesn’t work." Someone who has viewed the nightmarish results of political policies and recreational activities that were rather innocently begun will be more careful to consider the implications of new seductions at the outset. In the end, just as my tiny daughter eased my personal turmoil years ago, she and her contemporaries may become the arbiters of the generation that spawned them.
Thinking of these things as I sat in the quiet of her bedroom, listening to the yellow music box that still reminds me of the adoration in Amy's eyes, I understood another truth: we, the members of a creative, sometimes absurd, always narcissistic postwar generation, will soon receive a judgment. Whatever it is, our children have earned the right to make it.

英译汉：
eq \o\ac(○,1)1战后婴儿潮这一代人青壮年时期所留下的最大遗产就是，他们提出的问题都是正确的，但却一个也没有解决。（3分）eq \o\ac(○,2)2我们的父母在大萧条和二战中作出了巨大牺牲。他们把我们养大成人，让我们有了提出问题的资本。可是我们有些人却故意偏离一些标准，虽然我们都理解这些标准。（5分）
eq \o\ac(○,3)3可是我们这一代因为意见分歧而四分五裂相互隔膜，因此就努力让我们的孩子相信，世界上没有什么标准，没有正确的答案，没有值得为之牺牲的承诺。（5分）eq \o\ac(○,4)4没有不可改变的原则。（1分）eq \o\ac(○,5)5只要有伟大的事业，必然有与之相悖的事业；（1分）eq \o\ac(○,6)6有战斗的理由，必然有逃避的理由。（1分）eq \o\ac(○,7)7有阴必然就有阳。（1分）
eq \o\ac(○,8)8我们的孩子如何应对这中哲学困境？（2分）eq \o\ac(○,9)9我的看法是，他们会让我们大吃一惊。他们会表现沉稳，尽管不急于作出承诺，但一旦作出承诺，态度就是认真的。（4分）

eq \o\ac(○,13)13坐在女儿安静的卧室里，我一边想着这些问题，一边听着黄色音乐盒传出的音乐声。那音乐使我想起了艾米那充满爱慕的眼神。这时我领悟到了另一个真谛：（6分）eq \o\ac(○,14)14我们富有创造力，有时很荒唐，但总是很自恋的战后一代，很快就会受到评判。（4分）eq \o\ac(○,15)15不管这一评判是什么，我们的孩子都有作出这一评判的权利。（3分）
