To Lo,
I am afraid your 1, 3, 4 are not quite right.
Please refer to other persons' translations and make corrections - or you can refer to my reference translation here on this blog at a later time.
To Judith,
I am afraid your translation for 1 and 4 are not quite right.
第一題可字面翻，也可從語意上翻(semantic translation)，如我上課時所講的。最理想的譯法是，在中文中找到一個我們常用的箴言或諺語，意思與原文同即可。
To Bessy,
Your translation for question 1 is just way too ridiculous! It contains serious logic problem.
Try to give me a good one!

1.積少成多
To Mary and Bessy,
For question 1, the literal translation can be:
毅力並非長跑，而是一個接一個短跑。
But, how can we translate it in "semantic way" or even "communicative way" as mentioned in the last session?
Think about it!

堅持，並非長跑，而是由一場又一場的短跑累積來的。
2. Art is long, life is short.
