综英第三版第四册 UNIT6 Chinese food课文翻译[优质文档]
Chinese Food "Few things in life are as positive as food, or are taken as intimately and completely by the individual. One can listen to music, but the sound may enter in one ear and go out through the other; one may listen to a lecture or. conversation, and day-dream about many other things; one may attend to matters of business, and one's heart or interest may be altogether elsewhere... In the matter of food and eating however one can hardly remain completely indifferent to what one is doing for long. How can one remain entirely indifferent to something which is going to enter one's body and become part of oneself? How can one remain indifferent to something which will determine one's physical strength and ultimately one's spiritual and moral fibre and well-being?" -- Kenneth Lo “生活中很少有什么东西像食物这样真切实在，或者说那么彻底的为个人接纳吸收。一个人可能在听音乐，但是音乐可以从一只耳朵进从另一只耳朵出；一个人可以在听讲座时胡思乱想；一个人可以在料理生意上的事务而他的心思和兴趣另有所属…….。而在吃饭就餐时，一个人几乎不可能长时间的对自己正在做的事完全无动于衷。一个人怎么能对即将进入身体并成为身体一部分的东西保持绝对的无动于衷呢？一个人怎么能对即将决定自己体力以及最终决定自己的精神和道德品质以及幸福安康的东西无动于衷呢？ ——肯尼斯·洛 This is an easy question for a Chinese to ask, but a Westerner might find it difficult to answer. Many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons, but scattered among them also is a large number of people who are apparently pretty indifferent to what goes into their stomachs, and do not regard food as having any ultimate moral effect on them. How, they might ask, could eating a hamburger or drinking Coca Cola contribute anything to making you a saint or a sinner? For them, food is quite simply a fuel. 这是一个中国人常问的问题，而西方人却很难作答。在西方，很多人都是美食家，还有其他一些是暴饮暴食者，而混杂于这两者中间的还有一种对吃进肚子的食物漠不关心的。这些人也许会问，吃一个汉堡，喝点可口可乐就会变成圣人或罪人？对于他们来说，食物就是一种能量。 Kenneth Lo, however, expresses a point of view that is profoundly different and typically Chinese, deriving from thousands of years of tradition. The London restaurateur Fu Tong, for example, quotes no less an authority than Confucius (the ancient Sage known in Chinese as K'ung-Fu-Tzu) with regard to the primal importance of food. Food, said the sage, is the first happiness. Fu Tong adds: "Food to my countrymen is one of the ecstasies of life, to be thought about in advance; to be smothered with loving care throughout its preparation; and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating." 肯尼斯·洛认却表达了一种截然不同的，典型的中国化的观点。这种观点源于从几千年中国文化。例如，一家伦敦餐馆的董福就引用了如同孔夫子（中国人陈这位古代圣人为孔夫子）的权威人士的话。圣者言，食乃是人生最大的幸福。董福还说：“食物对中国人来说是生活中的一大乐事，需要预先准备，需要精心烹饪，还要肯花时间去享受吃得乐趣。” Lo observes that when Westerners go to a restaurant they ask for a good table, which means a good position from which to see and be seen. They are usually there to be entertained socially -- and also, incidentally, to eat. When the Chinese go to a restaurant, however, they ask for a small room with plain walls where they cannot be seen except by the members of their own party,

UNIT1 1．Why does the speaker urge people to be patient Because he understands that the war is long and tough. it is not to end in months but in years. he tells the people there that however long the war last, the final victory belongs to Britain. but at the same time he makes it clear that not everyday is an opportunity to take action. they have yet to wait and persevere. 2．why does the speaker advise the British people to treat triumph and disaster in the same way Because he thinks that both triumph and disaster are deceptive in that people can make things out far worse than they really are when they are in triumph. what is the change in the widespread mood referred to in p5 When Britain came under the heavy air attacks by Germany .many other nations thought that Britain was finished. As the country stood the ordeal to their great surprise, those nations changed their view. 3．why does the speaker change darker into sterner Because he has a strong conviction of victory. The 2terms have different implications. when used in the text to refer to the days of war, ”darker days”emphasizes the negative aspect of the event and shows the user’s pessimism.’sterner days’ ,though identical in its reference ,suggests optimism and pride in having the chance to rise the challenge. 4．Do you think the speaker had achieved his purpose by the end of his speech Yes, I do. By paying a visit to Harrow School and making a speech there, Churchill not only encouraged the audience of his speech but the British people in general to continue to fight rather than surrender to their enemy.

综英两篇课文翻译
空间入侵者 前几天在银行，我站在一支蜿蜒绕着松垂的天鹅绒绳子的队伍里，这时一个身穿运动服的男子开始慢慢向我挪近，急着存他的社会保障支票。因为他这样做，我不得不稍稍靠近我前面正在看华尔街日报的女士。她有些恼怒地侧身贴近她前面的正在支票上签字的男子。男子心不在焉地拖着脚步走近他前面的白发女士。最后我们都杂乱地贴向彼此，原来松散的队伍像Slinky玩具一样紧缩在一起。 我估计我的个人空间向前要延伸十八英寸，两边各一英尺，向后十英寸（尽管几乎不可能准确测量你身后的人距你有多远）。“个人空间”这个词听起来有点古怪，象是七十年代的语气(“你侵占了我的空间，先生”)，但它是一种让所有人凭 直觉就能明白的、令人愉快的说法。就像我们国家拥有12海里海岸线一样，个人空间就是我们的边界，只要有陌生人穿过这个边界，就会使我们感到不安。 最近，我发现我的个人空间比以前任何时候都更多地受到侵犯。电梯里，人们就在门关上之前挤入；大街上，行人蜿蜒穿过人流，推撞他人，拒绝让道；地铁里，乘客不再费力保持自己和他人之间的一点距离；机场的等候队伍里，人们就 像红灯下坐立不安的的士司机拥挤向前。 起初，我把这种趋势归因为“人口爆炸”以及冷酷的马尔萨斯逻辑，也就是如果两倍于二十年前的人生活在地球上，我们每人拥有的空间只有原来的一半。近来，我想是否是因为季节：穿T恤的天气也许会让人们彼此吸引想更亲近一些（或 者更加厌恶其他人靠近，尽可能想保持距离）。或者可能是曼哈顿不断涌现的咖啡厅——它们的数量似乎每三个月就会翻一番——给本来就喧闹焦躁的当地人注入了太多的咖啡因，所以他们更不要独自待着了。 个人空间主要是一个公众场合的问题; 私下里我们允许各种入侵个人空间的 行为。（没有它们就不会存在充满人情味的社会。）个人空间的具体概念随地域变化。住在加尔各答的人们比住在科罗拉多的人拥有的个人空间少。“不要踩我” 这样的话只会出自某个拥有大片土地的人。我打赌北半球人的私人空间的概念比南半球人的要宽敞得多。对英国人来说，握手都显得有些冒犯；然而对巴西人而 言，连个拥抱都不给就会被看作是冷淡。 就像那些撞了你泊好的空车而不留条的司机，人们撞到你时不再低声咕哝一句“对不起”。人们普遍为社会礼仪的退化悲叹。在我看来，礼貌就是给别人以空间， 不冒犯他人，允许别人有隐私。 我也注意到那些被我称之为空间入侵者的队伍在扩大，这些地盘扩张者把占据公共空间视为理所当然。如今，在电影院里人们占据两个扶手，侵吞两个手肘所覆盖的空间。在咖啡店里，在长岛的火车上，人们习惯性地独占隔间或面对面的 四人座位。 归根结底，个人空间是心理层面的问题，而非身体距离的问题：比起我们的外部空间，它与我们的内心空间联系更紧密。我揣测个人空间的缩小和自我的膨胀是成正比的：注意力是向内的人不会去操心关注外面的事情。这些年就连科学研究也是着眼于微观，而非宏观。人类基因组工程正在绘制基因代码的全貌图，而神经科学家正在使用提速的磁共振成像仪来描绘我们大脑神经细胞的活动。 就像蝴蝶振翅在日本带来的习习微风，最终可能会导致加利福利亚的一场海啸，
