Unit 10 The Jeaning of America

This is the story of a sturdy American symbol which has now spread throughout most of the world. The symbol is not the dollar. It is not even Coca-Cola. It is a simple pair of pants called blue jeans, and what the pants symbolize is what Alexis de Tocqueville called "a manly and legitimate passion for equality---" Blue jeans are favored equally by bureaucrats and cowboys; bankers and deadbeats; fashion designers and beer drinkers. They draw no distinctions and recognize no classes; they are merely American. Yet they are sought after almost everywhere in the world -- including Russia, where authorities recently broke up a teen-aged gang that was selling them on the black market for two hundred dollars a pair. They have been around for a long time, and it seems likely that they will outlive even the necktie.

This ubiquitous American symbol was the invention of a Bavarian-born Jew. His name was Levi Strauss. He was born in Bad Ocheim, Germany, in 1829, and during the European political turmoil of 1848 decided to take his chances in New York, to which his two brothers already had emigrated. Upon arrival, Levi soon found that his two brothers had exaggerated their tales of an easy life in the land of the main chance. They were landowners, they had told him; instead, he found them pushing needles, thread, pots, pans, ribbons, yam, scissors and buttons to housewives. For two years he was a lowly peddler, hauling some 180 pounds of sundries door-to-door to eke out a marginal living. When a married sister in San Francisco offered to pay his way West in 1850, he jumped at the opportunity, taking with him bolts of canvas he hoped to sell for tenting.

It was the wrong kind of canvas for that purpose, but while talking with a miner down from the mother lode, he learned that pants -- sturdy pants that would stand up to the rigors of the digging -- were almost impossible to find. Opportunity beckoned.

On the spot, Strauss measured the man's girth and inseam with a piece of string and, for six dollars in gold dust, had [the canvas] tailored into a pair of stiff but rugged pants. The miner was delighted with the result, word got around about "those pants of Levi's," and Strauss was in business. The company has been in business ever since.

When Strauss ran out of canvas, he wrote his two brothers to send more. He received instead a tough, brown cotton cloth made in Nimes, France -- called serge de Nimes and swiftly shortened to "denim" (the word "jeans" derives from Genes, the French word for Genoa, where a similar cloth was produced). Almost from the first, Strauss had his cloth dyed the distinctive indigo that gave blue jeans their name, but it was not until the 1870s that he added the copper rivets which have long since become a company trademark. The rivets were the idea of a Virginia City, Nevada, tailor, Jacob W. Davis, who added them to

pacify a mean-tempered miner called Alkali Ike. Alkali, the story goes, complained that the pockets of his jeans always tore when he stuffed them with ore samples and demanded that Davis do something about it. As a kind of joke, Davis took the pants to a blacksmith and had the pockets riveted; once again, the idea worked so well that word got around; in 1873 Strauss appropriated and patented the gimmick -- and hired Davis as a regional manager.

By this time, Strauss had taken both his brothers and two brothers-in-law into the company and was ready for his third San Francisco store. Over the ensuing years the company prospered locally, and by the time of his death in 1902, Strauss had become a man of prominence in California. For three decades thereafter the business remained profitable though small, with sales largely confined to the working people of the Westcowboys, lumberjacks, railroad workers, and the like. Lev i’s jeans were first introduced to the East, apparently, during the dude-ranch craze of the 1930s, when vacationing Easterners returned and spread the word about the wonderful pants with rivets. Another boost came in World War II, when blue jeans were declared an essential commodity and were sold only to people engaged in defense work. From a company with fifteen salespeople, two plants, and almost no business east of the Mississippi in 1946, the organization grew in thirty years to include a sales force of more than twenty-two thousand, with fifty plants and offices in thirty five countries. Each year, more than 250,000,000 items of Levi's clothing are sold -- including more than 83,000,000 pairs of riveted blue jeans. They have become, through marketing, word of mouth, and demonstrable reliability, the common pants of America. They can be purchased pre-wash-ed, pre-faded, and pre-shrunk for the suitably proletarian look. They adapt themselves to any sort of idiosyncratic use; women slit them at the inseams and convert them into long skirts, men chop them off above the knees and turn them into something to be worn while challenging the surf. Decorations and ornamentations abound.

The pants have become a tradition, and along the way have acquired a history of their own -- so much so that the company has opened a museum in San Francisco. There was, for example, the turn-of-the-century trainman who replaced a faulty coupling with a pair of jeans; the Wyoming man who used his jeans as a towrope to haul his car out of a ditch; the Californian who found several pairs in an abandoned mine, wore them, then discovered they were sixty-three years old and still as good as new and turned them over to the Smithsonian as a tribute to their toughness. And then there is the particularly terrifying story of the careless construction worker who dangled fifty-two stories above the street until rescued, his sole support the Levi' s belt loop through which his rope was

hooked.

美国的牛仔裤之路

本文讲述了美国一个坚实的象征物，如今已经遍及世界大部分地区。这个象征并不是美元。也不是可口可乐。而是一条被称作蓝色牛仔裤的普通裤子。这种裤子所象征的，正如亚克力西德托儿所谓的对“平等的果断的正当的追求”。无论是官员还是牛仔，银行家还是赖账徒，时尚设计师还是酗酒者都同样青睐蓝色牛仔裤。这种裤子不分高低贵贱，只要是美国人都可以穿。可是牛仔裤几乎在世界的任何地方都广受欢迎-- 包括俄罗斯，其当局最近刚刚粉碎了一个在黑市贩卖牛仔裤的团伙，他们的牛仔裤卖到了200美元一条。牛仔裤已经流行了很长时间了，看起来其生命力已经超过了领带。

这种无处不在的美国象征是一个出生在巴伐利亚的犹太人发明的。他与1982年出生于德国的巴德奥且姆。1848年欧洲政局动荡期间，他决定去纽约试试运气，他的两个哥哥已经移民到了那里。到了纽约，里维发现他的两个哥哥广域他们在这片充满机遇的土地上生活的比较安逸的说法有点言过其实。他们说他们拥有土地。可他发现他们正向家庭主妇推销针线、锅罐、缎带、见到和纽扣。里维做了两年寒酸的小贩，拉着180磅的杂货挨家挨户的叫卖，勉强维持生计。他的一个嫁到旧金山的姐姐为他提供西行路费，他急忙抓住这个机会，带着几个帆布卷，他打算卖给别人做帐篷。

岂料这些帆布并不适合做帐篷，不过里维与自主矿脉的矿工交谈后了解到，人们买不到耐得起采矿磨损的坚实耐穿的裤子。机会在向他招手。

施特劳斯当场用一根带子量了那人的腰围和裤长，用帆布做成了一条粗硬的耐穿的裤子，卖了六美元的沙金。矿工觉得很满意，于是有关里维斯的裤子一词不胫而走。他的公司一直在运转。

当施特莱斯用完了那些帆布料，他写信给他的两个哥哥，让他们在送点过来。没想到却受到了法国尼姆产的一种坚韧的棕色的棉布。称作“尼姆哔叽”（serge de Nimes），很快就简称为“劳动布”（英语词jeans牛仔裤）源自于法语的Genes，即英语的Genoa（热那亚）此地盛产一种类似的棉布）。从一开始，斯特赖斯将他的布料染成了湛蓝色。蓝牛仔裤因此而得名。不过，知道19世纪70年代，他才在牛仔裤上加了铜柳钉。长期以来，这铜柳丁成；公司的标志。给裤子加上柳丁是内华达州的一名名叫雅各布W戴维斯的裁缝所想出的主意。他这样做是为了安抚一个名叫叫阿尔克利.艾可的脾气暴躁的矿工。这名矿工抱怨他往牛仔裤里放矿石标本时，牛仔裤的口袋那里总是被撕破，他要求戴维斯想想办法。戴维斯有点像开玩笑，把裤子拿到了铁匠铺，给口袋打上柳丁。这一招果然奏效，消息不胫而走。1873年，施特莱斯采纳了这一小发明，出资为其申请了专利，并雇用了戴维斯去做地区经理。

这时候，斯特赖斯把他的两位哥哥和两个姐夫带进了公司，并准备在旧金山开办他第三家商店。此后的几十年，公司在当地生意兴隆。直到1902年施特劳斯去世时，他已经成为加利福尼亚的知名人士。在此后的30年，生意虽然小，但一直在盈利。主要的销售对象是

西部劳工阶层--—诸如牛仔、伐木工、铁路工之类的人。里维斯的牛仔第一次被引进到东部，显然，20世纪30年代农场热，在西部度假的东部人回家后，到处宣扬带着柳丁的奇妙的裤子。二战期间，蓝色牛仔裤再一次走俏，被宣布为紧要商品，只卖给从事防务工作的人，从1946年，只有15名销售人员，两家工厂，以及在密西西比东部没有任何业务的公司，在30年间，发展成一个拥有2万2千人的销售团队，并在35个国家开设了55个工厂和办事处。每年，里维斯服装的销售量都超过了两千五百万件，其中拥有830万件是钉有柳丁的蓝色牛仔裤。通过市场营销，口口相传，以及显而易见的可靠性，牛仔裤成了美国的寻常裤装。人们可以买到进行过水洗的、褪色和缩水处理的牛仔裤，以符合无产阶级的形象。牛仔裤几经改造还可以供各种癖好的人使用。妇女们将裤管拆开，将裤子改成裙装。男人们将其从膝盖下方截下来，变成冲浪用的短裤。人们还给牛仔裤装上各式各样的装饰。

牛仔裤已经成为一种传统。在其发展过程中叶谱写了自己的历史-- 这历史丰富多彩的公司，在旧金山开设了一家博物馆。馆中的展品有，例如：一位列车员用一条牛仔裤代替一条失灵的联轴器。；怀俄明州的一个男子用牛仔裤把汽车从沟里拖出来，：一个加利福尼亚人在一个废弃的矿井里捡到几条牛仔裤，穿上的时候才发现这些裤子有63岁年历史了，但却和新的一样好，变将他们捐赠给史密斯学会，以表彰他们的坚实耐用。还有一个特别惊心动魄的故事：一个粗心的建筑工人悬挂在52层楼上，直至获救，他的唯一支撑点就是李维牛仔裤的裤带扣，他的安全绳就扣着这裤带扣。

Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here. …For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself.

学士学位英语考试翻译题型解题秘笈

学士学位英语考试翻译题型解题秘笈 在学士学位英语考试复习中，翻译既是重点也是难点，在此提醒考生一定要给予足够重视。外语教育网的小编为考生整理了学士学位英语考试翻译题型解题秘笈，希望考生认真阅读和学习。 翻译部分是03年增加的题型。放在试卷的最后，共有10个小题，考试时间30分钟。翻译试题由两部分组成。第一部分为英译汉，要求考生把阅读理解文章中划线的五个句子译成中文。第二部分为汉译英，要求考生把五个难度适中的中文句子译成英文。英译汉和汉译英的句子难度均低于课文的英语文章。评分标准要求译文达意，无重大语言错误。翻译部分的目的是测试学生词汇、语法、句型方面综合运用语言的能力。 英译汉应试技巧 英译汉是运用汉语把英语所表达的思想准确而完整地重新表达出来的语言活动。在英译汉的过程中，有两点值得我们特别地注意： 1、汉语所要表达的是英语原文的内容，即句子或文章的意义，而不是句子结构； 2、在翻译过程中，英语原文的内容要准确而完整地重新表达出来，而不是将两种语言结构进行简单的转换。 英译汉的过程包括理解，分析句架表达和校核三个阶段,因此，在英译汉的过程中，往往需要考生从英语到汉语，再从汉语到英语反复的推敲。 (一)理解 理解阶段的目的在于读懂英语原文，弄清原文的意思。为了透彻理解原文，建议考生在复习和应试时采取下列步骤： 1、通读全文。通读全文的目的在于从整体上把握整篇文章的内容，理解划线的部分与文章其他部分之间的语法与逻辑关系。在段落中要搞清划线的句子和其他句子之间的关系，因为孤立地阅读划线部分的英语，往往无法理解该部分的真正含义。一篇好的文章，其前后的意思都互相关联，具有很强的逻辑性，一个单词或句子只有在具体的上下文中才能体现出确切的含义来，因此，上下文能帮助我们正确的理解划线的部分，通读全文是很重要的。但是,在通读全文的过程中应该注意，对非划线的部分不要花费时间过多，对于其中一些不太容易理解的内容也不必太在意，只是搞清大体意义即可。因为通读全文的目的在于帮助自己理解划线的部分,只要能把该部分理解透彻也就足够了。 2、分析划线部分的句子结构。从一般的翻译试题来看，划线的部分一般来说结构句子都比较复杂。复杂的句子如果不搞清楚它的语法结构，很难达到正确完整地理解原文的要求。因此正确地把握句子的结构是进行正确地翻译的关键。 3、理解分析划线部分的含义。考生不仅要弄清句子中所有实词和虚词的词汇意义，还要理解全句的整体意义。理解句子的依据除了句子本身之外，还有该句子所处的具体的语言环境。在此阶段应清楚下列问题： (1)句子中是否含有代词和其他具有指代意义的词，如果有，应根据上下文确定它们指代的内容是什么； (2)句子中的短语和一些常用的词往往具有多种含义和用法，那么，在该句中它们的具体含义是什么； (3)按照你的理解，该部分的意义是否与全篇文章的内容一致，有无相互矛盾。 总之,在动手翻译之前，首先要读懂原文，不要一上来就急于动手翻译，这样做往往会出现一种情况:该题快要翻译完了，猛然又发现自己理解有误，马上就急忙修改，搞的卷面上一塌糊涂，而且很容易忙中出错，把本应拿到的分数丢掉了，这是非常令人可惜的。 (二)表达 表达就是译者把自己从英语原文理解的内容用汉语表达出来,理解是表达的基础，表达是理解的结果，但是理解正确并不意味着一定会有正确的表达，平时做翻译练习时有同学反映，有时对原文理解之后还不知如何用汉语表达，就充分说明了这一点。这里介绍两种基本的翻译方法：直译和意译。 1、直译。所谓直译，就是在译文语言条件许可时，在译文中既保持原文的内容,又保持原文的形式。在汉语和英语两种语言中存在着许多共同之处，在对于许多英语句子的翻译过程中,完全可以采取直译的方法，这样可以获得一举两得之功效，既保持了原文的结构，又正确表达了原文的内容。但是直译不是死译和硬译，象It is asserted that…;It is believed that…这一类的结构，如果直译过来那就不伦不类了。 2、意译。汉语和英语分别属于不同的语系，两者在词汇、句法结构和表达方法上具有很多的差异。当原文的思想内容与译文的表达形式有矛盾不易采用直译的方法处理时，就应采用意译法，意译就是不拘泥于原文的形式，重点在于正确表达原文的内容。例如Do you see any green in my eye象这样的句子，只能采取意译的方法，把它翻译为“你以为我是好欺骗的吗”当然,意译并不等于乱译,胡乱地翻译是不符合“忠实”的翻译标准的。 在具体的翻译过程中，我们应该采取灵活的方法，不论是直译还是意译，只要是符合“忠实、通顺”的翻译原则，都是可取的。在翻译的过程中，我们务必注意以下几点： A、理解透彻之后再动手表达，否则表达的结果会令人莫名其妙； B、切忌在翻译时把汉语和英语对号入座，逐字逐句的对号入座的结果往往是不伦不类； C、切忌擅自增减词意，增减意义与翻译技巧中经常提到的增词法与减词法根本就不是一回事。 (三)校核 校核阶段是理解与表达的进一步深化，是对原文内容进一步核实以及对译文语言进一步推敲的阶段，因此，校核是翻译过程中一个很重要的阶段，并不是可有可无的，通过表达之后的校核，我们可以发现译文的一些问题，确保自己理解的内容很有把握地得到分数。在校核阶段，一般应注意与下列各项有关的问题(1)人名、地名、日期、方位和数字等；(2)汉语译文的词与句有无错漏；(3)修改译文中译错或表达不够准确的句子、词组或词汇；(4)有无错别字；(5)标点符号是否有误。 做汉译英时一般应经过以下步骤

Unit 3 A Hanging A HANGING George Orwell 1. It was in Burma, a sodden morning of the rains. We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot for drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them. These were the condemned men, due to be hanged within the next week or two. Detailed Reading 2. One prisoner had been brought out of his cell. He was a Hindu, a puny wisp of a man, with a shaven head and vague liquid eyes. Six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gallows. Two of them stood by with rifles and fixed bayonets, while the others handcuffed him, passed a chain through his handcuffs and fixed it to their belts, and lashed his arms tightly to his sides. They crowded very close about him, with their hands always on him in a careful, caressing grip, as though all the while feeling him to make sure he was there. But he stood quite unresisting, yielding his arms limply to the ropes, as though he hardly noticed what was happening. 3. Eight o'clock struck and a bugle call floated from the distant barracks. The superintendent of the jail, who was standing apart from the rest of us, moodily prodding the gravel with his stick, raised his head at the sound. "For God's sake hurry up, Francis," he said irritably. "The man ought to have been dead by this time. Aren't you ready yet?" 4. Francis, the head jailer, a fat Dravidian in a white drill suit and gold spectacles, waved his black hand. "Yes sir, yes sir," he bubbled. "All is satisfactorily prepared. The hangman is waiting. We shall proceed." 5. "Well, quick march, then. The prisoners can't get their breakfast till this job's over." 6. We set out for the gallows. Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by arm and shoulder, as though at once pushing and supporting him.

英语第一单元课文翻译

形象还是表象？ 罗伯特? L ?舒克 成功的形象与表象之间有明显的区别。表象是虚假的现象，要想寻求成功的形象，你必须能够识别这些表象。 有一种形象常被误解，其根源在于人们对目光接触的看法。你不知多少次听到有人说：“他直视你的眼睛,一定是个老实人”。显然，许多人一定认为，不老实的人因说谎而感到惭愧，甚至不能面对他人。但假如老实人因羞怯而不敢直视你呢？况且，骗人的老手知道，许多人根据某人打量他们的方式判断其人品，因此他会故意将目光接触纳入其行为之中。既然你不能依靠目光接触做出灵验的判断，就不该用此法评价他人是否诚实。然而，既然大多数人的确凭此标准判断他人，你务必要经常直视他们的眼睛。 根据一个人打量你的方式评价其诚信并不比根据你的猫或狗对其做出的反应判断其人品更合乎情理。然而，你不知多少次听到狗的主人说：“真有趣——索尔不常喜欢陌生人。他判断人性很在行，他对你友好使我知道你身上有某些优点。”有一次，我来到一位可能成为我客户的人的家中，他的猫“虎仔”对我如此欢喜，竟在我推销产品的整个过程中趴在我的肩上。我推销完毕之后，那人的妻子说道：“舒克先生，虎仔只对我们自家人才会这样。你一定为人忠厚，它才对你这般友好。” 其实当时我没把那只猫推开是因为担心她会撕破我的衣服或抓出我的眼珠。但我却回答道：“是呀，夫人，虎仔显然具有某种能使她能准确判断人性的本能。它的确善于判断人品。”虽然虎仔碰巧正确地判断了我的实情，但我个人却不太相信动物具有判断人类的本能。依我看，动物对人的反应更多与体味和身体动作有关。 有些人根据他人握手的方式判断其人。得体而有力度的握手姿势体现人的个性，而“死鱼”般冷淡无力则不是好兆。我也不喜欢毫无生气、缺乏力度的握手姿势，但却格外小心，并不以此作为判断人的基准。再说，骗人的老手会轻而易举做出热情握手之态。尽管握手之时你应该用力，以便即刻树立一个良好印象，然而下次有人紧握你手之时，可别太当真；这并不能告诉你关于他的具体情况。 某种整洁清秀的外表会树立诚实的形象。譬如，金发碧眼的年轻人，面带稚笑，长相是邻家男孩那种类型，这种典型的美国人的形象几乎总能激起别人的信赖。仅因外表而盲目相信一个人是不合乎逻辑的。然而，大多数人的确如此草率地做出判断。相反，皮肤油黑、黑发油腻、蓄小胡子的邋遢男人不会被人认为其面相诚实。同样，某个女人的长相可能会使人联想到街头妓女的模样，而开价很高的应召女郎可能也会看似娴静清新。自然，衣着和（对女性而言的）化装品与以上所谈的外表问题有很大关系。但不幸的是，不为人所控制的、与生俱来的外貌在大多数人的判断中起着重要的作用。我很同情勤奋老实的推销员，其天生的那幅模样使人不由自主地想到：“他那种人的二手车我可不想买！”另一方面，一个非常阴险的人也许貌似你可信赖的那种人。你怎能肯定一个看似整洁清秀的搭车人不及一个（因为其长相而）貌似危险人物的搭车人危险呢？你怎能肯定此人就一定是个危险人物呢？问题就在于我们往往毫无道理地做出如此草率的决定。 从更大的范围上讲，选民们经常仅因某个政客的外表整洁清秀而对他做出有利的反应。其对手则因没有生就一副令人信任的外表而经常遭到否定的评价。这种判断是错误的，其后果可能是灾难性的。诚然，许多选民投某位候选人的票完全是出于政治原因，但在势均力敌的选举中，不该当选的人会因其整洁清秀的形象而占有优势。

Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War Ⅱ. Her family was Jewish so nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary.

日语学位考试翻译

第一套： 九月十五日是老年节，据说是把六十五岁以上的人称之为老人但今天在日本有1550万老人。日本是老人宜居的国度吗。 电车和巴士上都设有老弱病残孕座位，那都是为老年人和身体不好的人专设的，可现在常常坐的都是年轻人和健康的人，而且还有电车拥挤的时候，连站起来让座的人都没有。 据说2000年65岁以上的人达到2100万，到那时即使把电车上的椅子全改成老弱病残孕座位也许也不够用。 如果定义快乐那就是（并不是什么有用的事，但对自己来说，是快乐的事，高兴的事，心情愉快的事），没有任何意义成了重点，我们被强迫遵从大人的旨意，一定要懂得为何而努力占了上风，（1.为考试而学习，2.为健康要摄取那丰富的营养，3.为了收入要工作，4，为了明天要早睡，5，为了获取知道要读书）有目的地去做确定很现实，但如果经常这样考虑的话，真的好累。 或许是因为日本人过度劳累这样的指责在高涨，最近一些日本的公司也设置了一周或十天的假期，利用假期远离都市，游山玩水，出国旅游的人逐年增加。 还有每年的八月，相当于旧历的盂兰盆节，很多人为了扫墓回到家乡，平时远离亲戚和家人的人好像都在期待着盂兰盆节的大聚会，被称之为民族大移动，节日前后，很多城市人一同回乡下，然后再一同返回城市。 这样一来，夏季旅行的人多了列车就混杂，旅馆也爆满，所以为了快乐旅行，有必要事先亲自制定好计划，包括交通工具和住宿地。 第二套： 人们把认为不可能的事渐渐变为可能，比如说翱翔天空，是人类很早以前的梦想，但今天借助于飞机人们比任何鸟类都飞的好。 人们到底是怎么把不可能的事变为可行的呢，我认为这得益于发明和练习，飞机发明以来，实现了飞天的梦想，但我们自己去还不能驾驶飞机，是因为我们没有受到相应的训练，当然也就不能操纵飞机了。 但练习，绝非容易的一件事，它需要不断的努力和忍耐，我们相应地举个游泳的例子就没明白了，讨厌努力和忍耐的人，是不能成功的。 最近自行车运动等环保运动很盛行，为了把我们美丽的地球留给我们的后代，我们到底能做些什么呢。一个是资源的保护，第二就是由于公害造成的环境破坏。也就是我们一般的市民在日常生活中能做的事就是节约有限的资源，以及不破坏大气和水，但那是相当难的事，我们日常生活中的一点点行为都是在破坏环境，可以说现代人的生活正在根本上发生变化，比如说，开车会带来汽油的浪费和大气的污染，聚餐的时候，使用的方便筷子和塑料制品也是在过度地浪费资源。 感谢大家今天能光临现场，这三年来我得到了课长及大家的多多关照，真的谢谢了。 我印象最深的是，刚来计划部的时候，因为资料的错误，使得营业课的田中课长非常生气，一同陪我道歉的中岛课长，以及留下来加班帮我修改资料的井上君，加藤君，在些我一并感谢诸位，经常很严厉的渡边君曾激励我【如果害怕失败，那就不能前进】这句话我至今

Toward a brighter future for all 奔向更加光明的未来 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在 我办公室的桌子上。 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇。她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇2把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 在大学里，一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里，住在你隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌，令你头痛欲裂！你可能喜欢早起，而你的室友却是个夜猫子！尽管如此，你和你的室友仍然可

必修1第一单元Reading 阅读 ANNE’S BEST FRIEND Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now r ead how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15, June, 1944 Dear kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face… …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. Yours, Anne Using Language 语言运用 Reading and listening 读与听 1 Read the letter that Lisa wrote to Miss Wang of Radio for Teenagers and predict what Miss Wang will say.
