orgy toffee imperceptibly
treasure-house
 texture bludgeon
insensibility orgiastic multitudinous
lust homage crouch
reunion gorge impotence
divinity blunt parch

Ⅲ. The sentences you can paraphrase:
  
Appetite is the keenness of living; it is one of the senses that tells you that you are still carious to exist, that you still have an edge on your longings and want to bite into the world and taste its multitudinous flavours and juices.

By appetite, of course, I don't mean just the lust for food, but any condition of unsatisfied desire, any burning in the blood that proves you want more than you've got, and that you haven't yet used up your life.

No, the best was in wanting it, in sitting and looking at it, when one tasted an inexhaustible treasure-house of flavours.

Which is why I would carry the preservation of appetite to the extent of deliberate fasting, simply because I think that appetite is too good to lose, too precious to be bludgeoned into insensibility by satiation and over-doing it.

Part of the weariness of modern life may be that we live too much on top of each other, and are entertained and fed too regularly.

The springs are still there to be enjoyed- all one needs is the original thirst.

Ⅳ. The paragraphs you can translate into Chinese:
  
One of the major pleasures in life is appetite, and one of our major duties should be to preserve it. Appetite is the keenness of living; it is one of the senses that tells you that you are still carious to exist, that you still have an edge on your longings and want to bite into the world and taste its multitudinous flavours and juices.

By appetite, of course, I don't mean just the lust for food, but any condition of unsatisfied desire, any burning in the blood that proves you want more than you've got, and that you haven't yet used up your life. Wilde said he felt sorry for those who never got their heart's desire, but sorrier still for those who did. I got mine once only, and it nearly killed me, and I've always preferred wanting to having since.

Too much of anything - too much music, entertainment, happy snacks, or time spent with one's friends - creates a kind of impotence of living by which one can no longer hear, or taste, or see, or love, or remember. Life is short and precious, and appetite is one of its guardians, and loss of appetite is a sort of death. So if we are to enjoy this short life we should respect the divinity of appetite, and keep it eager and not too much blunted.

It is a long time now since I knew that acute moment of bliss that comes from putting parched lips to a cup of cold water. The springs are still there to be enjoyed- all one needs is the original thirst.

1. the keenness of living 
 your being eager to live

2. the senses 
 the powers of physical perception, referring particularly to our senses of sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste

3. curious to exist 
 eager to live

4. you still have an edge on your longings 
 your desires for life are still intense or passionate. Edge is the sharpness or keenness of something. Cf. take the edge off sth: dull the intensity, force, or pleasure of sth, e. g.
 Eating sweets before dinner will take the edge off yo ur appetite.

5. want to bite into. . . flavours and juices 
 The metaphor that compares the world to some luscious fruit such as a honey peach, is established not through the linking-verb "be," but through such verbs as "bite" and "taste," and such nouns as "flavours" and "juices" that strongly suggest something edible and delicious (cf. "grammar of metaphor" in Rhetorical Notes of Lesson Six).The metaphor places the meaning of "appetite" closer to its dictionary sense, from which the author can move smoothly to his own philosophical definition of "appetite." bite into: put one's teeth into, e. g.
 The boy bit into the piece of cake.
   
6. burning
 
 being excited with desire. Appetite means there are still desires in your blood.

7. you haven't yet used up your life 
 you are still curious to exist

8. Wilde said . . . for those who did 
 In Wilde's view, those who continuously want but never have are less unfortunate than those who have and therefore no longer want.

9. got mine 
 got my heart's desire

10. killed me 
 caused me great pain

11. since 
 since then; since the only occasion on which I got my heart's desire
 
12. when treats and orgies were few 
 "Treat" means giving a child money to go to the shop to buy something (treating a child to something in the shop). An "orgy" is larger than a "treat." It means the child is given money to buy lots of things (he is overindulged in buying what he wishes for).
 The author mentions "when treats and orgies were few" in order to tell the reader under what circumstances he learned this lesson. At that time, life was hard, and children did not have enough money to buy many things. The toffee might have been something they dreamed of. It is because toffee was such a rare item that the author could sense the value of gazing at it. Today, instead of being treated to such small items as a toffee, children are treated to toys or bicycles. Today a toffee would not mean so much as it did then. In today's situation the author might not have made the discovery.
 The toffee is presented as a mere example, not as the only thing that bears this stated quality. In cases of other children, it could have been an icecream or a lolly for example.

13. the greatest pitch 
 the highest degree

14. true, ... but ... 
 This sentence pattern is used to make a concession, i. e. when you want to admit that a fact is true, and then to indicate that the fact is not important and you want to point out another and more important fact.
 It is true that they lost that battle, but they still went on fighting.
 She longed for Europe, it was true, and would do anything to get there, but she wasn't prepared to give up her job for just two weeks in England.

15. one was left with nothing, neither toffee nor lust 
 one lost both toffee and appetite
 leave sb with sth: leave sb in possession of sth undesirable (often used in the passive form)
 We have to pay two bills, and that will leave us with just over five pounds.
 After I had reassembled the lawn-mower, I found I was left with several bits of metal which did not seem to fit anywhere.
 I was left with not a single ray of hope.
 Do not confuse this with "leave sth with sb." Compare:
 My neighbour Mrs. Smith was out, so the postman left her parcel with me. (left it in my custody until she returned)
 He asked me to hold this parcel for him a moment, then he went off and left me with it. (I didn't know what to do with it)

16. the whole toffeeness ... having eaten it 
 When you have eaten a toffee, you unwittingly kill the essential quality of a toffee from which happiness can be derived. This essential quality of a toffee is, in the author's term, "being toffee;" hence the nonce noun "toffeeness." The author might as well have said: "Gazing at a toffee is more toffee than eating a toffee."
 gross: distasteful, ill-mannered, rough. By this word, the author deprecates eating a toffee and advocates sitting and looking at it.
 By the way, the sentence is better reconstructed into either ". . .having eaten them" or "... toffeeness of a toffee. . . "

17. No 
 No, the greatest pitch of happiness was not in eating it

18. an inexhaustible treasure-house of flavours 
 an inexhaustible source of flavours; innumerable/multitudinous flavours. A treasure-house is a storehouse for treasures or other valuable things. It is often used in a figurative sense, e.g.
 This library is a treasure-house of knowledge.
  
19. not the satisfaction
 
 not the having

20. a particular texture 
 a particular feel of a material. Cf. I don't like the rough texture of this wallpaper.

21. at its most flawlessly perfect 
 A superlative adjective often follows "at one's" to refer to a particular condition:
 The human body is at its most vigorous (= in its most vigorous condition) at the age of twelve.
 People often say that it is during the time before marriage that a girl remains at her prettiest in the eye of her boy friend (possibly because during that time he is in the state of wanting instead of having)
 In our sentence, "Perfect" functions like a superlative, and is further modified by the superlative adverb "most flawlessly."

22. Which is why ...of deliberate fasting 
 That is why I would go so far as to eat no food for a period of time in order to maintain the keenness of appetite.
 The relative pronoun "which" may refer to the whole of the previous sentence. In that case, it may sometimes introduce an independent sentence, and is replaceable by "that".
 Mary dislikes the Browns. Which/That is why she didn't send them an invitation.
 It's all a question of priorities. Which brings me back to my main point.

23. be bludgeoned into. . .over-doing it 
 By eating too much, you destroy your appetite or reduce all its keenness.
 A bludgeon is a stout club. To bludgeon somebody is to hit somebody with the kind of club. To bludgeon somebody into insensibility literally means to hit somebody so hard that he becomes unconscious (insensible).
 "Overdoing appetite" is another way of saying "satiation," i.e. to fill your stomach beyond its capacity so that all pleasure or desire is lost.
   
24. for that matter 

 with regard to that matter; indeed
 "For that matter" means "so far as that is concerned." It is often used:
 (1) to give an added but more forceful statement and means something like "indeed":
 There is a lot of opportunity in America for anyone in the arts. For that matter anyone with talent will find a chance in America.
 You oughtn't to have spoken like that to Joe's friends, or to anybody for that matter.
 (2) to emphasize that a statement you have made is also true in another situation, for another person, etc. ,and means something like "also" or "as well":
 It was proved he was needing money at the time; we all were, for that matter.
 France makes over three million cars a year - so, for that matter, does Germany.

25. a square meal 
 a substantial meal; a meal with plenty of good food

26. orgiastic 
 excessively huge; as huge as an orgy. An orgy is more than a usual meal. It a meal has 10 to 12 courses, an orgy has 25.

27. blow-out 
 (informal, bordering on slang) a large meal; a meal larger than you normally have. It literally, means such a great amount of eating and drinking that it, so to speak, causes one's stomach to burst (to blow out).

28. A day of fasting ... of supreme Indulgence 
 If I do not take in any food the whole day, it is not simply, because I want to deny myself a pleasure on the same belief as held by puritans; but rather it is because by doing so I can create a moment in which I can experience the highest degree of self-gratification (indulgence).
 
29. an act of homage to the majesty of appetite
 
 an act of paying high respect to the dignity/greatness of appetite
 "Majesty" refers to the quality of something being grand, dignified, or stately, a quality most represented by a king or queen.
 We all admire the majesty (beauty, grandeur) of floating icebergs.
 The majesty (greatness solemnity) of the occasion thrilled us all.
 They saw the lofty peak in all its majesty (magnificence, splendour).
 Here, the author is glorifying, or, singing high praise of appetite. The "divinity of appetite" in the next paragraph has a similar meaning.

30. our friends, our lovers 
 Once in a while we should deliberately stay away from them for a certain period of time

31. preserve their intensity 
 maintain their high degree of appeal/fascination

32. renew and refresh 
 The two words mean the same: to put back to their original attractiveness or splendour.

33. We live too much on top of each other 
 our life becomes too increasingly better. It literally means I live better than (on top of) you, and then you catch up and live better than I, and after that I live better again than you, and so on.

34. are entertained 
 have amusements or enjoyments

35. once we were separated, by hunger both from our food and families 
 Long ago, we often couldn't reach any food, and hunger would drive us to leave our families and hunt in the mountains. Here, "once" is not a conjunction (= when) to introduce an adverbial clause (there is no main clause to follow), but rather an adverb (=formerly; at one time in the past). It is used along the same line as "Sailors and travellers enjoyed this once," and in contrast to "Now we go off to the office..."

36. for days on end 
 for a number of successive days

37. gorged themselves silly 
 ate like a pig; satiated themselves; filled themselves with food until they could not possibly eat any more.
 If you drink yourself silly or if you laugh yourself silly, you drink or laugh so much that you become unable to think or behave sensibly (you become "silly". This usage of "silly" appears in informal English.

38. appetite came into its own 
 appetite was at its most forceful; appetite began to show its true value come into one's own: have the chance to show one's qualities, abilities , intelligence, etc; begin to perform or work really well, because the circumstances are just right.
 Liu Ying came into her own when she was appointed League Secretary. (Her talents were given full play at this position)
 John will come into his own if the firm needs an interpreter because he can speak many languages.
 The scientific study of dreams has not yet come into its own. (has not yet shown its true worth)
 On bad little roads, this small car really comes into its own (shows its superior performance).
 
39. entertainment 
 amusement

40. impotence of living 
 opposite to "keenness of living" (pa.1)

41. appetite is one of its guardians 
 it is one of the protectors/watchdogs of your life. If you have appetite, you are a living man; when you lose appetite, it is as if you became dead.

42. is a sort of death 
 is in a way death, if not real death
 "A sort of" and "a kind of" (3 lines above) are downtoners, in that they make the word you use less strong than it should mean (tone it down).

43. respect the divinity of appetite 
 the same meaning as "(pay) homage to the majesty of appetite" in paragraph 6. By "majesty," the author places appetite in the position of a king or queen, and by "divinity," the position of a goal or goddess.
 
44. The springs are still there... the original thirst 
 The springs from which my cup of cold water came, remain the same as when I enjoyed the bliss, but we no longer have that same thirst.

IV. Grammar(non-finite verbs)

A.
1. waiting
 "To wait" is nonstandard, because "it's no use doing" is a colloquial variant of the more formal construction "it's no use in doing."
2. to wait
3. smoking
4. Reading
 Although both the -ing form and the infinitive can be used as the subject of a sentence, the -ing form is used when we talk about an activity in general. If we talk about one particular action, we use the infinitive, e.g.
 It took him three hours to read the short story.
5. being criticized
6. to have waked/woken
7. reading/to read
 There is not much difference. "Reading" seems preferred in this sentence. However, when we are referring to one particular occasion, it is more common to use the infinitive, e.g.
 I hate to mention it, but you owe me some money.
8. to go
9. seeing
10. to rain/raining
11. to rain/raining
12. to lend, to take
 "Taking" is wrong in this sentence, because we are talking about one particular occasion.
13. singing
 After see, watch and hear, an -ing form suggests that we observe part of a complete action; when we start looking or listening it is already going on. The infinitive, on the other hand, suggests that we see or hear the whole action from beginning to end.
14. strike (cf. 13)
15. to hear, sing (cf. 13)
16. to come, rising (cf. 13)
17. going, to go/going
18. to have forgotten
 We can say "I forget" or "I have forgotten" to mean "I don't remember," e.g.
 I forget/have forgotten his address.
 But we must use the perfect aspect if it is an infinitive:
 I seem to have forgotten (not: to forget) his address.
19. having married/marrying
20. jump, fall (cf. 13)

B.
 "In order to" is rather formal. It is often better replaced by "so as to" or merely by "to," especially in cases of trivial matters:
Jack and Jill went up the hill to (rather than "in order to") fetch a pail of water.
1. ...so as/in order not to make ...
2. ... so as/in order not to alarm her.
3. He was rash enough to set ...
4....to enable the crew to escape ...
5....so as to enable the government to discuss ... /in order for the government to discuss ...
6....so as to be able to ... /in order to enable himself to...
7....kind enough to turn ...
8....house in order to/so as to...
9....house in order to/so as to ...
10. ...so as to/in order to prevent anyone from climbing in

C.
1. to take/have 2. to do
3. to take 4. to change/make up
5. to sit 6. to be
7. to explain 8. to answer
9. to call 10. to help

D.
1. to leave
2. to hear
3. kind enough to send
