III. Translate the following passage into Chinese.
如果人们想通过“不合时的死亡”这个词表达什么的话，他们肯定相信有些死亡要比另一些死亡来得合时一些。

老年时逝去很少被称为是不合时的――长命百岁被认为是完整的生命。

但如果是一个年轻人逝去，人们会设想大好年华还在后面，还不能对生命做出评价。

历史当然会否认这种观点。

在那些英年早逝的人当中，人们会想起玛丽莲·梦露，詹姆斯·迪恩斯。

他们的生命看起来既短暂又完整。

作家们难以接受诗人济慈26岁即逝去的事实，只能半开玩笑地认为他们自己26岁还一事无成。

那种认为中断的生命是不完整的想法是不合逻辑的，因为生命的价值是由他们留给世界的影响及其成就与美德来衡量的。

painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public. After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month. Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing, run a significant risk of losing the audience’s favor. The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famous.。
