Exercise

Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment (1)and our experience (2)? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth(3), and no amount of special education can make a genius(4) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring

environment will develop his intelligence(5) less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits(6)of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits (7)will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported(8) in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent(9) something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship(10) between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people(11)at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different(12). If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins(13), they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations(14) like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth(15).

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments(16). We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring(17). We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part(18). This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact(19) with each other, but who are not related(20) at all, are

likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

Translation

有些人天资聪慧，有些人天生愚笨吗？还是智力会依据我们的环境和经历而发展？奇怪的是，这些问题的答案是肯定的。某种程度上来说，我们的智力是天生的，没有什么特殊的教育能使一个天生智力低下的孩子成为天才。就另一方面而言，一个生活于枯燥环境的孩子的智力发展要比生活在富有和复杂环境的孩子来的少。所以一个人智力的限度是天生就固定了，但是他是否能达到这个限度则取决于他所处的环境。这种观点目前被大多数专家所认可，有许多例子可以证明。

很容易证明智力在某种程度上是天生决定的。两个人之间的血缘关系越近，他们的智力就越接近。所以如果我们从人口中随机抽取两个没有关系的人做比较，他们的智力程度很可能完全不同。另一方面，如果我们拿一对双胞胎做比较，他们的智力会非常相似。拥有像兄弟姐妹、父母子女这种关系的人们总是有相同的智力，这就很清楚地证明了智力是天生决定的。

现在想象一下我们把一对双胞胎分别放置不同的环境中生活。例如，我们可能把一个送去读大学，另一个送到工厂做无聊的工作。我们会很快发现他们智力发展有所不同，这就证明了出了先天条件外，环境对智力发展一样起作用。这个结论同样也证明两个毫不相干的人如果关系密切，也可能有相同程度的智力。

This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name "the Silk Road". As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of "One Belt, One Road" (namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of "One Belt, One Road" focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.

新视野大学英语第册课文翻译

新视野大学英语课文翻译第四册 UNIT1 名气之尾 1 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，不知道还能做些什么。成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。 2 对于一名正努力追求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，最乐观的说也困难重重，许多人到最后不是穷困潦倒，也是几近精神崩溃。尽管如此，希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞美之类的不太纯洁的纯洁的动机却在激励着他们前进。享受成功的无上光荣，这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。 3 成名者之所以成名，大多是因为发挥了自己在唱歌、舞蹈、绘画或写作方面的特长，并能形成自己的风格。 为了能迅速走红，经纪人会极力吹捧他们的这种风格。他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。他们究竟是怎样成功的，大多数人也都说不上来。尽管如此，艺术家仍然不能闲下来。若表演者，画家或作家感到厌烦，他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力，也就难以保持公众的注意力。公众的热情消磨以后，就回去追捧下一个走红的人。有些艺术家为了不落伍，会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动，但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。公众对于他们借以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。 4 知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来，如田纳西.威廉斯的喜剧、欧内斯特.海明威的情节安排、罗伯特弗罗斯特或T.S艾略特的诗歌等。同样，像莫奈。雷诺阿、达利这样的画家、希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革，这让他们名利双收，但也让他们付出了代价，那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。 5 名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。骗局很快会被揭穿，过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。它让你失去自我。你必须是公众认可的那个你，而不是真实的你，或是可能的你。艺人，就像政客一样，必须常常说些违心或连自己都不完全相信的话来取悦听众。 6 一滴名气之水有可能玷污人得心灵这一整口井因此，一个艺术家若能保持真我，会格外让人惊叹你可能答不上来哪些人没有妥协，却仍在这场名利的游戏中获胜。一个例子就是爱尔兰著名作家奥斯卡.王尔德，他在社交行为和性行为方面以我行我素而闻名于世。虽然他的行为遭到公众的反对，却依然固我，他也因此付出了惨痛的代价。在一次宴会上，他一位密友的母亲当着他的朋友和崇拜者的面，指责他在性行为方面影响了她的儿子。他听了她的话以后，大为光火，起诉了这个年轻人的母亲，声称她毁了他的“好”名声。但是，他真该请一个更好的律师。结果是，法官不仅不支持他提出的让这个女人赔偿他名誉损失费的要求，反而对他本人进行了罚款。他由于拒绝交罚款最终还被送进了监狱。更糟糕的是，他再也无法获得更多公众的宠爱。在最糟糕的的时候，他发现没有一个人愿意拿自己的名声冒险来替他说话。为保持真我，他付出的代价是，在最需要崇拜者时，谁也不理他。 7 奇怪的是，收获最大的恰恰是失败者。他们收获了自由！他们可以自由地表达，独辟蹊径，不落窠臼不用担心失去崇拜者的支持。失败的艺术家寻求安慰时，可以想想许多伟大的艺术家都是都是过世多年以后才成名的，或是他们没有出卖自己。他们也可以为他们的失败辩解：自己的才华实在过于高深，不是当代观众或听众所理解的得了的。 8 那些失败了却仍不肯放弃的顽固派也许会乐于知道，某些名人曾经如何越挫越勇，直至成功。美国小说家托马斯.乌尔夫第一本小说《向家乡看吧，安琪儿》被拒39次后，才最终得以出版。贝多芬战胜了父亲认为他音乐家潜质的偏见，成为世界上最伟大的音乐家。19世纪瑞士著名教育家斯泰洛奇原先干的工作没有一样成功，直到他想到去教小孩子，并研究出一种新型教育模式的基础理论。托马斯.爱迪生四年级时被赶出了学校，因为老师觉得他似乎太迟钝但不幸的是，对大多数人而言，失败是奋斗的结束，而不是开始。 9 对那些孤注一掷的追名逐利之徒，我要说：祝你们好运但是，遗憾的是，你会发现这不是你想得到的。狗自逐其尾得到的只是一条尾巴而已。获得成功的人常常发现成功对她来说弊大于利。所以，真要为真实的你、为自己的所为感到高兴，而不是拼命去获得成功。做哪些你为之感到骄傲的事情。可能在有生之年你默默无闻，但你可能创作了更好的艺术。 Unit 2 查理·卓别林 他出生在伦敦南部的一个贫困地区，他所穿的短袜是从妈妈的红色长袜上剪下来的。他妈妈一度被诊断为精神失常。狄更斯或许会创作出查理·卓别林的童年故事，但只有查理·卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色"流浪者"，这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。 就卓别林而言，其他国家，如法国、意大利、西班牙，甚至日本和朝鲜，比他的出生地给予了他更多的掌声（和更多的收益）。卓别林在1913年永久地离开了英国，与一些演员一起启程到美国进行舞台喜剧表演。在那里，他被星探招募到好莱坞喜剧片之王麦克·塞纳特的旗下工作。 3不幸的是，20世纪二三十年代的很多英国人认为卓别林的"流浪者"多少有点"粗俗"。中产阶级当然这样认为；劳动阶级倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色拍手喝彩：他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子，或把皮靴后跟对准权势者宽大的臀部一踢。尽管如此，卓别林的喜剧乞丐形
