一、真題文章（2003年）
Human beings in all times and places think about their world and wonder at their place in it. Humans are thoughtful and creative， possessed of insatiable curiosity. Furthermore， humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live， thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies. Therefore， it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity in a calm and systematic manner， with the hope that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth.
"Anthropology" derives from the Greek words anthropos "human" and logos "the study of." By its very name， anthropology encompasses the study of all humankind.
Anthropology is one of the social sciences. Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned， orderly， systematic， and dispassioned manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.
Social science disciplines include geography， economics， political science， psychology， and sociology. Each of these social sciences has a subfield or specialization which lies particularly close to anthropology.
All the social sciences focus upon the study of humanity. Anthropology is a field-study oriented discipline which makes extensive use of the comparative method in analysis. The emphasis on data gathered first-hand， combined with a cross-cultural perspective brought to the analysis of cultures past and present， makes this study a unique and distinctly important social science.
Anthropological analyses rest heavily upon the concept of culture. Sir Edward Tylor's formulation of the concept of culture was one of the great intellectual achievements of 19th century science. Tylor defined culture as"…that complex whole which includes belief， art， morals， law， custom， and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society." This insight， so profound in its simplicity， opened up an entirely new way of perceiving and understanding human life. Implicit within Tylor's definition is the concept that culture is learned， shared， and patterned behavior.
Thus， the anthropological concept of "culture，" like the concept of "set" in mathematics， is an abstract concept which makes possible immense amounts of concrete research and understanding.
二、譯文
各時期各地區(qū)的人們都思考各自的世界并想知道自己在其中的位置。人類既善于思考又善于創(chuàng)造，具有永不滿足的好奇心。而且，人類還有能力改變自己的生存環(huán)境，從而讓所有其他形態(tài)的生命服從人類自己獨特的思想和想象。因此，冷靜而系統(tǒng)地研究人類的豐富性和多樣性顯得尤為重要。人們希望這些研究的成果能使人類與他們自己也與地球上其他生命形態(tài)和睦相處。
"人類學"這個詞來源于希臘語anthropos（人類）logos（研究）。就名字而言，人類學包含了對整個人類的研究。
人類學是社會科學的一部分。社會科學是知識探索的一個分支，它力圖像自然科學家研究自然現象那樣，用理性的、有序的、系統(tǒng)的和冷靜的方式研究人類及其行為。
社會科學科目包括地理學、經濟學、政治學、心理學和社會學。每一門社會學科目都有一個分支或專業(yè)特別接近人類學。
所有社會科學都以研究人類為核心。人類學是一個重視實地考察的學科，在研究中大量使用對比分析法。強調搜集第一手資料，加上在分析過去和現在的文化形態(tài)時采用跨文化視角，使這一研究成為一門獨特并且非常重要的社會科學。
人類學分析主依賴于文化概念。愛德華。泰勒爵士對文化概念的闡述是19世紀社會科學的偉大文化成就之一。泰勒把文化定義為"……一個復合的整體，它包括人作為社會成員所獲得的信仰、藝術、道德、法律、風俗以及其他能力和習慣".這一見解非常深刻，為觀察和理解人類生活提供了嶄新的方法。泰勒的文化定義蘊涵著這一概念，即文化是后天習得的、人類共有的、被仿照的行為。
因此，人類學中"文化"的概念就像數學中"集"的概念一樣，是一個抽象概念。它使大量的具體研究和理解成為可能。
