Lesson one

Text A

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good morning!

I am very happy to be here for the opening of the XVI international AIDS Conference,which we are honored to host in Canada this year. This conference will give us a wonderful opportunity to form a lasting bond of fellowship.

I would like to extend our warmest welcome to all of you who have traveled from far and wide. Your efforts will remind us that life is our most precious possession and that we need to find a planet-wide approach if we are to have any hope of protecting it.

I would even go so far as to say that we need to globalize our efforts to fight the threat of AIDS;a kind of globalization, with the sole purpose of saving lives, gives us the opportunity to rethink the world in the spirit of a true global community.

I can still recall the fear, the hostility felt by some when we first began to hear about AIDS some twenty-five years ago. And when I heard people around me saying that this disease was the result of "deviant" behaviour, a punishment against those who are condemned, I could barely contain my anger. AIDS brought with it a shame that could not be named.

But as we now know, AIDS knows no boundaries, nor has it any regard for our prejudices or the ways in which we ostracize and abandon one another. Is that not reason enough to put those prejudices to rest and come together to fight this universal threat?

AIDS is now the fourth leading cause of death in the world. AIDS indiscriminately strikes children, women, and men; AIDS devastates national economies; AIDS destabilizes communities around the world.

Take for example sub Saharan Africa, where the situation is the most alarming. Just over one tenth of the world's population lives in that area, including nearly 64 per cent of all people living with HIV. Two million of them are children under the age of fifteen.

The situation is dire. We must act now. We cannot remain indifferent to the devastating attack that the AIDS is taking. Those of us who live in such affluent countries have a moral responsibility to do something and work together.

Cananda is among the countries that answered the United Nations' call in June 2001 to halt the spread of AIDS, and signed the Declaration of Commitment on HIV\AIDS. We support a coordinated effort on all fronts, from governments, the private sectors, communities, researchers, and individuals. And it is our firm belief that the rights and dignity of those living with HIV must be recognized, respected and defended.

We must be relentless in our fight against discrimination, which breeds fear and ignorance, we must ensure that people living with this disease are not treated like pariahs, and let me be frank:to give up would be irresponsible, simply unforgivable.

The battle against AIDS is a battle for life. Every life is precious, in every corner of this world. Everyone is entitled to freedom and dignity. Today, I have the opportunity to applaud your efforts and ,on behalf of all Canadians, I think all of you here.

It is with great pride that i now declare the XVI International AIDS Conference officially open.

Distinguished Guests,

Dear Colleagues,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, as we are to bid farewell to the old year and greet the new year, on behalf of the Foreign Ministry and in my own name, I wish to extend a warm welcome and best New Year wishes to you.

In the past year, the Chinese people forged ahead and dedicated themselves heart and soul to comprehensively promote the nation's socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural constructions well as the establishment of a harmonious society.The national economy is growing fairly fast with quiet good benefit, stable prices and invigorated vitality.The various social undertakings are constantly developing and the living standard keeps improving.

Currently, the world is undergoing profound changes,with peace, development and cooperation becoming the trend of our times.With the interdependency and cooperation between the countries increasing, the human society is faced with new opportunities.Meanwhile, the uncertain factors influencing the world peace and development are also increasing. The sporadic regional war and conflicts the widening gap between the developing and the developed countries, as well as the growing prominence of global issues - such as terrorism, transnational crime,environmental pollution and highly communicable diseases - constitute severe challenges to the development of human society. Therefore, advancing multilateralism has become the common aspiration and pursuit of the international community.

The multilateral system with the United Nations at the core is tasked to realize the dream if the human society to achieve lasting peace and common prosperity. Over the past 61 years, the United Nations has come an extraordinary way and played a prominent role in maintaining world peace and promoting common development. China is one of the founding members of the United Nations and is a staunch supporter of the multilateral system. China will, under the guidance of the UN Charter, continue to unite in a concerted effort with the United Nations and other international agencies as well as other members of the international community "to promote social progress and better living standards in larger freedom".

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Education holds the key to the success of a society.If a society is to prosper, our students must optimize their potentials and our people must upgrade themselves. We cannot do this without education.

Taking into account the initiatives we have been taking forward since 2000, I think I can say with confidence and pride, that we have put in place the strategy and the infrastructure required for the delivery of quality education. Our priority for the short to medium term is to sustain the momentum of the Education Reform and to implement the various measures announced.

To begin with, we will make all the preparations that are necessary to implement in 2012 the new academic structure. The three years pf senior secondary education will be followed by a four-year undergraduate program starting from 2012. This is an important structure change which better addresses the diverse needs of our secondary school students,broadens their outlook, reduces the pressure of public examinations and makes learning more rewarding,

Secondly, on professional development, we have scaled up our school-based professional support services with the creation of Education Development Fund in July 2004.With the concerted effort of principals, teachers and academics, we hace successfully launched a number of government funded programs. Together they have rendered support to 442 primary schools and 589 secondary school in the past two years. This area of our work well remain our priority.

Schools today are serving a more heterogeneous student cohort with diverse abilities and needs than they did before. It is important that we provide schools with the necessary resources to cater for students' needs, It is equally important that schools have a culture of respecting and accommodating individual differences. We will continue to strengthen teacher training programs to equip our teachers with the knowledge and skills to address the specific learning needs of their students,

I want to emphasize that the challenges for the coming years are not just a matter for people in the educational sector. In this fast-changing era, schools are no longer the only source of information and inspiration for our students,people from all walks of life have a part to play in educating our youngsters. I appeal to the different organizations in our community to exercise their social responsibility, to provide various kinds of resources and cooperate with schools in offering a wide range of activities. Whichever way you wish to contribute, it will be most welcome, because we do need your generous support to help nurture our younger generation.

Finally, I hope our cities will not be disappointed when I say that our priority for the coming years is to sustain and to implement. Although "sustaining" and "implementing"should not carry ant surprises, it does not mean that we will not look into initiatives which are more visionary. As the Government has openly remarked, we will map out strategies for developing our city into an education hub for the region. This ambition is backed up by the remarkable achievements made by our tertiary institutions in the international arena. By now, there of our universities are ranked as among the top 100 universities in "The Top 100 Global Universities 2006"in Newsweek International.

Ladies and gentlemen, education is by nature an ongoing process,and so is our endeavor to

improve education.We have gone a long way in mapping out a shared vision. We have gone a long way in building for our education arena a strong foundation, a foundation for embracing changes and for sustainable development. Let us learn from,and take heart in , what we have achieved so far and move forward.

Chairman , Chancellor, Distinguished Guests,

On behalf of my fellow honorary graduates and myself, I wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to the University for the high honors which have been conferred on us and for the generous citations today.We receive the award with humility and we are proud to be admitted to the rank of honorary graduates of this distinguished University.It is an award which we shall treasure.

With its global vision and its mission to combine teadition with modernity and to bring together China and the West,the University is a unique institution that makes an invaluable contribution.The University must be congratulated on what it has achieved. I am confident that it will go from strength to strength and I wish it every success in its endeavors.

On this happy occasion, I would like to offer some remarks to our young graduates. You have received much from the University and i trust that you will do your part to contribute to the development of your Alma Mater in future years. Youth is the trustee of posterity. Looking into the future, how can our young people, prepare ourselves for the exciting challenges ahead?

We must believe in and practice learning for life, so as to ensure that we would have the knowledge and skills required from time to time. Success, and indeed survival, would depend on the life-long pursuit of education in all respects.Things taught at schools and universities are not an education bur only a means to an education and there are no limits and boundaries to learning and we must be keen to continue to learn from the experience in the university of life.

Besides, most importantly, amongst rapid and accelerating changes, it is of fundamental importance that we should have the strength of character to live by our values and principles.we must abide always by the enduring values of honesty and integrity. We must have faith and courage to tackle what life throws at us.As we progress through life’s journey, there will be many ups and downs.Sometimes, the sun will shine on us. But at other times, life can be stormy. Sometimes the sailing will be plain, at other times, the territory will be rugged. It is important always to move in, with the determination to overcome adversity. And we must remember that we make a living by what we get . But we make a life by what we give. Be generous and ready to share with others and have the welfare of the under privileged in mind.

Ships are safe anchored in the harbor. But this is not what shops are made for. With the excellent education you have received here, graduates of this distinguished University are well prepared to continue to life's journey and to face life's many challenges. I wish you every success and happiness.

Lesson Three

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a matter of particular satisfaction to be here today, among the premier business representatives and organizations of the two countries. This provides me the opportunity to share with you my thoughts and views on what undeniably is one of the focus areas in our growing relationship, that is, our economic ties.

Creating awareness and understanding about each other’s economic, industrial and commercial capabilities is a crucial requirement of any bilateral economic relationship. Exhibitions like the Made in India Show make a valuable contribution in promoting business to business linkages between the two countries. Through the Made in India Show, the India private sector brings to China the Made in India brand that has already achieved international recognition.

Sustained high economic growth in China over more than two decades has been a phenomenon that has engaged the interest of analysts all over the world. You are the fastest growing economy in the world and the second largest in purchasing power parity. China’s plans for future economic growth are ambitious, but given China’s past record, it would no be surprising if these are achieved within your defined scheduled ime frames. China’s achievements have truly been remarkable.

The India economy has also registered impressive expansion and growth in the last wo decades. Over the last 12 years, the India economy has maintained an average annual growth of over 6%.our interest rates are falling, inflation has been kept down and foreign exchange reserves are growing rapidly. Our foreign trade is also growing healthily. We have targeted an 8%growth over the next five years, and we aim to double the GDP within the growing and accessible domestic market and rich pool of human resources. We are alsoone among the leaders in man state-of-the-art technologies. Our vision 2020 is not too different from yours but that is hardly surprising.

India and China are two of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding economies in the world. Both of us have continent-sized markets. Many of our individual strengths complement and industry. This matches well with recognized Indian capabilities in the knowledge sector, our strengths in software, the financial sector and entrepreneurship.

Our commonalities are generating potentially rewarding synergies that must be tapped. I am convinced that the logic of economic would bring to the fore the strengths that are inherent in our economic relationship. India and China are also going to be important players in harnessing the opportunities and mitigating the negatives emerging ou of the process of economic globalization.

India looks o China as a business partner, not as a competitor. The recent visit of India Prime Minister to china in June this year has imparted a new thrust and direction to the entire gamut of the India-China relationship, including to our economic ties. We must both adopt a forward looking approach in building our economic relationship that is mutually beneficial and rewarding.

Ladies and gentlemen,

In terms of utilizing the myriad opportunities that exist for developing the India-China economic partnership we have barely scratched the surface. While governments on both sides could work to address infrastructural issues such as passenger and cargo links, trade facilitation measures including harmonization of standards and appropriate banking support structure, it is the business and service sectors of the two countries that must make a concerted effort to implement and utilize them. The process should be proactive and mutually reinforcing.

The development of China generates important opportunities for Asia. As the world’s biggest potential market ,China has become the third largest importer globally and the largest importer in Asia in past 25 years with its steadily expanding and maturing market growing at an average annual rate of over 15 percent. Last year ,China imported from the rest of Asia a total of 272.9 billion US dollars worth of merchandise ,up by 42.4percent year on year ,with imports from ASEAN, Japan , ROK and India increasing by over 35 percent.. Direct investment in the rest of Asia by China has risen at an average annual rate of 20 percent in recent years .Last year ,more than 20 million outbound visits were made by Chinese nationals ,as more and more Chinese tourist made Asian countries and regions their choice destinations.

With China’s development ,the size of its market and its overseas investment will grow even larger and still more Chinese will travel to the other parts of Asia for sightseeing, business and visit. China’s economy will integrate still more closely with Asian economy , giving rise to a new type of partnership characterized by mutual benefit, mutual complement and mutual assistance

China’s development injects fresh vigor to regional cooperation in Asia. China has been extensively involved in the various mechanism of Asian-based regional cooperation, emphasizing its cooperation and coordination with all the parties and promoting regional economic integration. China has joined the fellow Asian countries in discussing the possibility of free trade areas, conducting various forms of security dialogues and cementing cooperation on the bilateral level while promoting regional cooperation.

China is ready to develop all-round economic cooperation with fellow Asian countries with emphasis on trade,investment, natural resources, information, pharmaceuticals, health service, environmental protection, transportation,science and technology, agriculture,poverty alleviation, and development of human resources .China will continue taking practical steps to help other developing Asian countries with their economic development through preferential policies. China will encourage its enterprises to take Asia as their principal destination for "going global" strategy, and combines its western development strategy and the Northeast rejuvenation strategy with strengthened economic cooperation with the neighboring countries.

China will promote cultural interaction and personnel exchanges.China is committed to stronger cultural exchanges in Asia, and encourages media cooperation to jointly build an Asia-wide cultural exchanges in Asia, and encourages media cooperation to jointly build an Asia-wide cultural market.China supports inter-culture and inter-religion dialogues in Asia, and advocates greater understanding and tolerance. China is ready to work with other Asian countries in promoting youth exchanges, and providing greater convenience for people's travel in public, business and tourist purposes.

China’s development cannot be achieved in isolation of Asia, and Asia’s prosperity also needs China.China will follow a peaceful development path holding high the banners of peace, development and cooperation, join the other Asian countries in bringing about Asian rejuvenation, and making greater contribution to the lofty cause of peace and development in the world.

第一单元 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种: 1.不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”,而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learnthenewsorsecret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3.每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意,然后在反复地听。 你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的xx。 4.抓住机会说。的确,在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们

学外语 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折,但却非常有价值。 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心,时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法,我踊跃回答各种问题,从不怕答错。两年中,我的成绩一直名列前茅。 到了高中后,我渴望继续学习英语。然而,高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前,老师对所有的学生都很耐心,而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了,她就会用长教鞭指着我们,上下挥舞大喊:“错!错!错!”没有多久,我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣,而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学,我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同,大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼,而且从来不带教鞭!不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大,每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后,我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同,但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程,情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术,于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间,需要学习者专心自律,以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求,并按时完成作业。 我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里,我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本,笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错,有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣,有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧,因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前,我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了,更重要的是,我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错,还有很多东西要学,但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历,但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义,而且让我了解了不同的文化,让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动,新的语言使我能与陌生人交往,参与他们的谈话,并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语,别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中,并结交朋友。我能与人交流,并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。

Book 4-Unit 5 Text A The Telephone Anwar F. Accawi 1.When I was growing up in Magdaluna, a small Lebanese village in the terraced, rocky mountains east of Sidon, time didn't mean much to anybody, except maybe to those who were dying. In those days, there was no real need for a calendar or a watch to keep track of the hours, days, months, and years. We knew what to do and when to do it, just as the Iraqi geese knew when to fly north, driven by the hot wind that blew in from the desert. The only timepiece we had need of then was the sun. It rose and set, and the seasons rolled by and we sowed seed and harvested and ate and played and married our cousins and had babies who got whooping cough and chickenpox—and those children who survived grew up and married their cousins and had babies who got whooping cough and chickenpox. We lived and loved and toiled and died without ever needing to know what year it was, or even the time of day. 2.It wasn't that we had no system for keeping track of time and of the important events in our lives. But ours was a natural or, rather, a divine—calendar, because it was framed by acts of God: earthquakes and droughts and floods and locusts and pestilences. Simple as our calendar was, it worked just fine for us. 3.Take, for example, the birth date of Teta Im Khalil, the oldest woman in Magdaluna and all the surrounding villages. When I asked Grandma, "How old is Teta Im Khalil" 4.Grandma had to think for a moment; then she said, "I've been told that Teta was born shortly after the big snow that caused the roof on the mayor's house to cave in."

Unit 1 The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write. When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly,

Unit1 Another School Year — What For Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher. It was January of 1940 and I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something." Two weeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. "Look," he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff" And not having a book of his own to point to, he pointed to mine which was lying on the desk. New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things. I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics school, but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science. It would not read: Qualified Pill-Grinding Technician. It would certify that he had specialized in pharmacy, but it would further certify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas mankind has generated within its history.

大学英语精读1课文翻译 Unit1 Some Strategies or Learning English 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说 "我对英语感兴趣"是"I'm interested in English",而说"我精于法语"则是"I'm good at French"?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说"获悉消息或秘密"是"learn the news or secret",而"获悉某人的成功或到来"却是"learn of someone's success or arrival"?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3.每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意,然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。 4.抓住机会说。的确,在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读,因为这在任何时间,任何地方,不需要搭档就可以做到。例如,你可以看着图片或身边的物件,试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后,假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家,试着用英语把它表演出来。

Michael Welzenbach 1. When I was 12 years old, my family moved to England, the fourth major move in my short life. My father’s government job demanded that he go overseas every few years, so I was used to wrenching myself away from friends. 2. We rented an 18th-century farmhouse in Berkshire. Nearby were ancient castles and churches. Loving nature, however, I was most delighted by the endless patchwork of farms and woodland that surrounded our house. In the deep woods that verged against our back fence, a network of paths led almost everywhere, and pheasants rocketed off into the dense laurels ahead as you walked. 3. I spent most of my time roaming the woods and fields alone, playing Robin Hood, daydreaming, collecting bugs and bird-watching. It was heaven for a boy —but a lonely heaven. Keeping to myself was my way of not forming attachments that I would only have to abandon

UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”,而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”,而“获悉某

大学英语4课文原文

Para1 An artist who seeks fame is like a dogchasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction. 艺术家追求成名,如同狗自逐其尾,一旦追到手,除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。 "Don't quit your day job!" is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed. The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt. Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on. The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted. 对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家,其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢!”他们的担心不无道理。追求出人头地,最乐观地说也困难重重,许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒,也是几近精神崩溃。 Fame's spotlight can be hotter than a tropical jungle-a fraud is quickly exposed, and the pressure of so much attention is too much for most to endure.It takes you out of yourself: You must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be. The performer, like the politician, must often please his or her audiences by saying things he or she does not mean or fully believe. Curiously enough, it is those who fail that reap the greatest reward: freedom! They enjoy the freedom to express themselves in unique and original ways without fear of losing the support of fans. Failed artists may find comfort in knowing that many great artists never found fame until well after they had passed away or in knowing that they did not sell out. They may justify their failure by convincing themselves their genius is too sophisticated for contemporary audiences. Unit2 He was an immensely talented man, determined to a degree unusual even in the ranks of Hollywood stars. His huge fame gave him the freedom—and, more importantly, the money—to be his own master. He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent he discovered in himself as he went along. "It can't be me. Is that possible? How extraordinary," is how he greeted the first sight of himself as the Tramp on the screen. But that shock rousedhis imagination.Chaplin didn't have his jokes written into a script in advance; he was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along. Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make "contact" with himself as an artist. He turned them into other kinds of objects. Thus, a broken alarm clock in the movie The Pawnbroker became a "sick" patient undergoing surgery; boots were boiled in his film The Gold Rush and their soles eaten with salt and pepper like prime cuts of fish (the nails being removed like fish bones). This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, is surely the secret of Chaplin's great comedy. He also had a deep need to be loved—and a corresponding fear of being betrayed. The two were hard to combine and sometimes—as in his early marriages—the collision between them resulted in disaster. Yet even this painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way into his comic creations. The Tramp never loses his faith in the flower girl who'll be waiting to walk into the sunset with him; while the other side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the French wife killer, into a symbol of hatred for women.

为自己而写 从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这—一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。 弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装,白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。他救着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来—·本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。 我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年,不少日子过去了,还真率出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题供我们选择。像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数—样乏味。我把作文题带回家,——直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。… 这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有—个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作—团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。 突然我就想描述那…切,描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛,但我把它写下来仅仅是想白得其乐,而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。然而,照我希望的那样去写,就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它—个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好了之后,我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。 等我写完时已是半夜时分,再没时间为弗利格尔先生写——篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。第二天上午,我别无选择,只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文,他把别人的都发了,·就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命—放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训,却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文,敲了敲桌子让大家注意听。 “好了,孩子们,”他说。“我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是:吃意大利细面条的艺术。” 于是他开始念了。是我写的!他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不可思议的是,全班同学都在听着他念,而且听得很专心。有人笑出声来,接着全班都笑了,不是轻蔑嘲弄,而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就连弗利格尔先生也停顿了两三次,好抑制他那丝拘谨的微笑。我尽力不流露出得意的心情,但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人大笑,我真是心花怒放。就在十——年级,可谓是最后的时刻,我找到了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的——刻。弗利格尔先生念完后说道:“瞧,孩子们,这就是小品文,懂了没有。这才是一知道吗——这才是小品文的精髓,知道了没有。祝贺你,贝克先生。”他这番话使我沉浸 在十全十美的幸福之中
