一、Please translate the following passage into Chinese.（25 分） The rise of the amateur politicians seems to be a worldwide fad now, with Donald Trump as the best recognizable example. To most of us, his ascension to the Presidency was more than a surprise; it was a total shock. Did he have any relevant experience that would qualify him for the highest political office in the world? Clearly his lack of traditional qualifications for the job did not faze the American electorate in the slightest. After all, aspirants to political office all start off as novices. You can’t be a seasoned politician until you’ve been a politician and garnered the very experiences that qualify for the job in the first place. This chicken and egg scenario sometimes, although rarely, produces a double-yoker. More often than not the bad eggs surface and get their own experience at the expense of bad decision-making and even worse politics. It then turns out to be a lamentable approach, a recipe for disaster.
