Text A

Man in the Realm of Nature

人在自然界

Para. 1

Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it.

=人类生活在大自然的王国里。他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。

Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats.

=人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物,无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。

We are connected with nature by “blood” ties and we cannot live ourside nature.

=我们与大自然血肉相连,离开大自然,我们将无法生存。

Para. 2

Man is not only a dweller in nature, he also transforms it.

=人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。

Humanity converts nature’s wealth into the means of the cultural, historical life of society.

=人类把自然资源转变为各种文化,社会历史的财富。

Man has subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.

=人类降服并控制了电,迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。

Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals. =人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境,也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。

Para. 3

As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows.

=随着社会的发展,人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少,而间接的依赖却越来越多。

Our distant ancestors lived in fear of nature’s destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtain the merest daily necessities.

=我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中,他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。

However, despite their imperfect tools, they worked together stubbornly, collectively, and were able to attain result.

=然而,尽管工具不甚完备,他们却能同心协力,顽强工作,并总是有所收获。

Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased.

=在与人类的相互作用中,大自然也发生了改变。森林被破坏了,耕地面积增加了。Nature with its elemental forces was regarded as something hostile to man.

=大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。

The forest, for example, was something wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat. =譬如,森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的,因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。

This was all done in the name of civilisation, which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth was cultivated, where the forest had been cut down.

=这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的,所谓“文明”,就是人类在哪里建立家园,耕耘土地,哪里的森林就被砍伐。

Para. 4

But as time goes on mankind becomes increasingly concerned with the question of where and how to obtain irreplaceable natural resources for the needs of production.

=然而,随着岁月的流逝,人类越来越关注的是在何处得到和如何得到生产所需的不可替代的自然资源的问题。

Science and man’s practical transforming activities have made humanity aware of the enormous geological role played by the industrial transformation of the earth.

=科学与人类改变大自然的实践活动已经使人类意识到了工业在改变地球的进程中对地质产生的重大影响。

Para. 5

At present the previous dynamic balance between man and nature and between nature and society as a whole, has shown ominous signs of breaking down.

=目前,人与自然以及自然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡,已呈现崩溃的迹象。

The problem of the so-called replaceable resources of the biosphere has become particularly acute. =生物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为尖锐。

It is getting more and more difficult to satisfy the needs of human beings and society even for such a substance, for example, as fresh water.

=人类和社会的需求,即便是简单得像淡水一样的物质,也变得越来越难以满足。

The problem of eliminating industrial waste is also becoming increasingly complex.

=清除工业废物的问题也变得日益复杂。

Para. 6

Modern technology is distinguished by an even increasing abundance of produced and used synthetic goods.

=现代技术的特征是生产和使用日益丰富的人工合成产品。

Hundreds of thousands of synthetic materials are being made.

=人们生产成千上万的人工合成材料。

People increasingly cover their bodies from head to foot in nylon and other synthetic, glittering fabrics that are obviously not good for them.

=人们越来越多地用尼龙和其他人造纤维把自己从头到脚地包裹起来,这些绚丽的织物显然对他们无益。

Young people may hardly feel this, and they pay more attention to appearance than to health. But they become more aware of this harmful influence as they grow older.

=年轻人或许很少注意到这一点,他们更关注的是外表,而不是健康。但是上了年岁之后,他们就会感受到这种有害的影响。

Para. 7

As time goes on the synthetic output of production turns into waste, and then substances that in their original form were not very toxic are transformed in the cycle of natural processes into aggressive agents.

=久而久之,这些合成物质转变成废弃物,那些原本毒性不大的物质在自然循环中变为极其有害的物质。

Today both natural scientists and philosophers are asking themselves the question: Is man’s destruction of the biosphere inevitable?

=自然科学家和哲学家如今都在问自己这样一个问题:人类对生物圈的破坏难道是无法避免的吗?

Para. 8

The man-nature relation ----- the crisis of the ecological situation ----- is a global problem.

=人与大自然的关系——生态环境的危机——已经成为一个全球性问题。

Its solution lies in rational and wise organization of both production itself and care for Mother Nature, not just by individuals, enterprises or countries, but by all humanity.

=这一问题的解决之道在于理性而明智地协调生产和对大自然的关爱之间的关系,这不仅要依靠个人、企业或者某些国家的力量,而且要依靠全人类的力量。

One of the ways to deal with the crisis situation in the “man-nature”system is to use such resources as solar energy, the power of winds, the riches of the seas and oceans and other, as yet unknown natural forces of the universe.

=解决人与大自然关系危机的方法之一,就是使用太阳能、风能、海洋能等资源,以及其他尚不为人所知的宇宙中的自然能。

Para. 9

But to return to our theme, the bitter truth is that those human actions which violate the laws of nature, the harmony of the biosphere, threaten to bring disaster and this disaster may turn out to be universal.

=但是,言归正传,令人难以接受的事实是那些违背了自然规律、破坏了生物圈和谐的人类行为将会带来灾难,而这种灾难也许是全球性的。

How apt then are the words of ancient Oriental wisdom: live closer to nature, my friends, and its eternal laws will protect you!

=古代东方智者的话讲得真是恰如其分:朋友们,你要是亲近大自然,大自然就会用那永恒不变的规律永远呵护你!

Extinctions, Past and Present

物种灭绝——过去和将来

Para. 1

I spent some of the most exciting days of my life working on the eastern shores of Kenya’s Lake

Turkana searching for the fossilized remains of our early ancestors.

=我在肯尼亚的图尔卡纳湖东岸工作时度过了生命中最激动人心的一些日子,寻找我们人类祖先的化石残骸。

We didn’t always find what we wanted, but every day there was much more to discover than the traces of our own ancestors.

=我们并不总是想找什么就能得到什么,但是,除了我们祖先的遗迹外,每天都会发现更多的东西。

The fossils, some quite complete, others mere fragments, spoke of another world in which the ancestors of many of today’s African mammals wandered the rich grassland and forest edges between 1.5 million and 2 million years ago.

=那些化石,有些相当完整,有些仅是碎片,道出了另一个世界。在那个世界,约150万年至200万年前,许多今天非洲哺乳动物的祖先漫游在肥沃的草原和森林边缘。

The environment was not too different from the wetter grasslands of Africa today, but it was full of amazing animals that are now long extinct.

=当时的环境与现在非洲雨水更多的一些草原没有太大区别,但那里当时到处生活着今天早已灭绝的令人称奇的动物。

Para. 2

That was true not just for Africa. The fossil record tells the same story everywhere.

=不仅非洲如此,世界上任何地方的化石记录下来的一切,都是一样。

It is estimated that more than 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years are gone.

=据估计,在过去的6亿年中,这个世界上存在过的物种,有95%以上都已灭绝了。

Para. 3

So, should we be concerned about the current rate of extinction, which has been accelerated by the constant expansion of agriculture and industry?

=工农业不断的扩展加速了当前物种灭绝的步伐,因此,我们该不该关心一下这个问题?

Is it necessary to try to slow down a process that has been going on forever?

=有没有必要尽力去减慢这个永不停止的过程呢?

Para. 4

I believe it is. We know that te well-being of the human race is tied to the well-being of many other species, and we can’t be sure which species are most important to our own survival.

=我认为是应该的。我们知道,人类的健康发展与其他许多物种的健康发展紧密相关,而我们不能确知哪一种生物对我们的生存最为重要。

Para. 5

But dealing with the extinction crisis is no simple matter, since much of the world’s biodiversity resides in its poorest nations, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

=但是,解决物种灭绝的危机问题决非易事,因为世界上许多生物多样性地区位于最贫穷的国家,尤其是亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲。

Can such countries justify setting aside national parks and nature reserves where human intrusion and even access is forbidden?

=这些国家划拨土地,兴建国家公园和自然保护区而禁止人类侵入甚至接近它们,人们能接受吗?

Is it appropriate to spend large sums of money to save some species in a nation in which a considerable percentage of the people are living below the poverty line?

=当一个国家相当大一部分人仍生活在贫困线以下,去花大笔钱挽救一些物种,这样做是否合适呢?

Para. 6

Such questions make me uneasy about promoting wildlife conservation in poor nations.

=这些问题令我对倡导在贫穷国家中推行野生动植物的保护感到不安。

Nonetheless, I believe that we can ----- and should ----- do a great deal. It’s a matter of changing priorities.

=然而我相信我们能够——而且也应该——做大量的工作。这是一个改变侧重点的问题。Plenty of money is available for scientific field studies and conferences on endangered species.

=大量资金已投入到对濒危物种的野外科学研究和会议上。

But what about boots and vehicles for park personnel who protect wildlife from illegal hunters?

=但是,能不能给那些保护野生动物使之不被偷猎的公园管理人员提供些胶鞋和车子?What about development aid to give local people economic alternatives to cutting forests and plowing over the land?

=能不能为那些靠伐木和种地为生的当地人提供别的经济出路,帮助他们发展?

That kind of funding is difficult to come by.

=这些资金很难获得。

Para. 7

People in poor countries should not be asked to choose between their own short-term survival and longer-term environmental needs.

=我们不应该要求贫穷国家的人们在自己的短期生存和长期环境需求之间做出选择。

If their governments are willing to protect the environment, the money needed should come from internatiional sources.

=假如他们的政府愿意保护环境,所需的资金应由国际组织提供。

To me, the choice is clear. Either the more wealthy world helps now or the world as a whole will lose out.

=我认为,答案是明摆着的:要么富有国家现在就伸出援助之手,要么整个世界将遭受巨大损失。

Para. 8

For that reason, we need permanent global funds devoted to wildlife protection. The funds should primarily come from the governments of the industrial nations and international aid agencies.

=为此,我们需要在全球筹集专门用于野生动植物保护的资金,这些资金应该主要由工业国家的政府和国际援助机构提供。

Para. 9

How to use those funds would be a matter of endless debate.

=至于如何使用这些资金,人们可能会无休无止地争论下去。

Should local communities be entitled to set the agenda, or should outside experts take control?

=是应该由当地社团决定工作事项,还是由外面请来的专家控制这些资金?

Should limited hunting be allowed in parks, or should they be put off limits?

=野生动物园里应该允许有限制的打猎呢,还是禁止入内?

Mistakes will be made, the landscape will keep changing, and species will still be lost, but the difficulty of the task should not lead us to abandon hope.

=错误总是难免的,自然外貌也会不断地发生变化,物种仍旧会继续消逝,但是这项工作的困难不应该使我们放弃希望。

Many of the planet’s natural habitats are gone forever, but many others can be saved and in time restored.

=地球上的许多自然栖息地已经永远消失了,但是也有许多栖息地可以挽救,并最终得到恢复。

Para. 10

A major challenge for the 21st century is to preserve as much of our natural estate as possible.

=21世纪的一个主要挑战是保护尽可能多的自然栖息地。

Let us resist with all our efforts any moves to reduce the amount of wild land available for wild species.

=让我们全力抵制任何减少现有野生物种天然栖息地数量的行为。

And let us call upon the world’s richest nations to provide the money to make that possible.

=让我们号召全世界最富有的国家提供资金,使这个抵制行动成为可能。

That would not be a contribution to charity; it would be an investment in the future of humanity ----- and all life on Earth.

=这并不是对慈善事业的捐赠,这是对人类未来和地球上所有生命的一项投资。

大学英语Unit 1 课文翻译

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。

课文翻译 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。 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。 尽管如此,希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。享受成功的无上光荣,这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。 成名者之所以成名,大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长,并能形成自己的风格。 为了能迅速走红,代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。 他们究竟是怎么成功的,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、画家或作家感到无聊,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,就会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。 公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。 知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来,如田纳西·威廉斯的戏剧、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。 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。 一滴名气之水有可能玷污人的心灵这一整口井,因此一个艺术家若能保持真我,会格外让人惊叹。

新编大学英语(第二版)第一册阅读文参考译文 Unit One 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间,谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标,而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生,还有几个孩子受了伤,其中有一个小女孩,8岁左右,她的双腿被炸伤。 3 几小时后,医疗救援小组到了。救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。如果不立即采取行动,显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血,但是他们的医药用品很有限,没有血浆,因此需要相配血型的血。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适,而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。 5 这位医生会讲一点越南语,忽视会讲一点法语,但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语,只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言,结合大量的手势,努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说,除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴,否则她将必死无疑。接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求,孩子们(只是)瞪大眼睛,一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而,只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血,他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿,一只小手慢慢地举了起来,然后垂了下去,一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢,谢谢,”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字?” 8 “兴,”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上,手臂用酒精消毒后,针就扎了进去。在整个过程中,兴僵直地躺着,没有出声。 10 过了一会儿,他发出了一声长长的抽泣,但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴,疼吗?”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头,但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来,并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他,兴又摇了摇头。

Unit3 你再怎么有经验,也得学习新技术。 You are never too experienced to learn new techniques. 还存在一个问题,那就是派谁去带领那里的研究工作。(Use an appositional structure.) There remains one problem, namely, who should be sent to head the research there. 由于文化的不同,他们的关系在开始确实遇到了一些困难。 Their relationship did meet with some difficulty at the beginning because of cultural differences. 虽然他历经沉浮,但我始终相信他总有一天会成功的。 Though he has had ups and downs, I believed all along that he would succeed someday. 我对你的说法的真实性有些保留看法。 I have some reservations about the truth of your claim. 她长得并不特别高,但是她身材瘦,给人一种个子高的错觉。 She isn't particularly tall, but her slim figure gives an illusion of height.

由于其坚实的数学和科学教育基础,它应该在信息时代有繁荣的发展。 问题是,它的国内电话系统是一堆生锈的20世纪30年代的老古董。 为了解决这一问题,俄罗斯已经开始铺设光纤电缆,并制定了投入400亿美元建设多项通信工程的战略计划。 但是由于其经济陷于低迷,几乎没有资金来着手解决最基本的问题。 与俄罗斯相比,在未来10年中,中国大陆计划对通信设备投入1,000亿美元。 从某种意义上说,中国的落后成了一种有利因素,因为这一发展正好发生在新技术比铜线电缆系统更便宜的时候。 到1995年底,中国除了拉萨以外的省会都将有数字转换器和高容量的光纤网,这意味着其主要城市正在具备必需的基础设施,成为信息高速公路的主要部分,使人们能够进入系统,获得最先进的服务。 电信工程也是上海实现其成为一流的金融中心这一梦想的关键。 为了能给国际投资者提供其所期望的电子数据和无纸化交易方面的出色服务,上海计划建设与曼哈顿同样强大的电信网络。 与此同时,匈牙利也希望跃入现代世界。 目前,有70万匈牙利人等着装电话。 为了部分地解决资金问题,加速引进西方技术,匈牙利将国有电话公司30%的股份出售给了两家西方公司。 为进一步减少电话待装户,匈牙利已将权利出租给一家荷兰-斯堪的纳维亚企业集团,来建造并经营一个据说位居世界先进行列的数字移动电话系统。 事实上,无线方式是在发展中国家快速建设电话系统的最受欢迎的方式之一。建造无线电发射塔要比翻山越岭架设线路更便宜。而且,急切盼望可靠服务的企业乐于花费可观的高价来换取无线电话服务──其资费通常是固定线路电话资费的二至四倍。 整个拉丁美洲对无线通信的需求和使用已急速增长。 对于无线电话服务商来说,没有任何地方的业务比拉丁美洲更好了──在那里有一个营运点就好像有一堆无穷无尽供你使用的钞票。 在四个无线电话市场有营运点的贝尔南方电话公司估计,来自于其每个客户的平

Unit1奔向更加光明的未来 1 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。 2 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。 3 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。 4 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。 5 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。 6 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能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心,不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训,从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以,带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情,勇敢向前去拥抱这些新的体验吧! 7 我们相信,你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信,当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时,你们很快就会认识到,大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会,同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过:“教育代代相传,它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者,也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识,并把知识传递给你们,而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识?你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好?你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来? 8 我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会,也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们!

unit 1 TextA Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事 1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后,我和波莉有了第一次约会。那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克,而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的,他一想到这个就受不了,于是他和我达成了一项协议,用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明,而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 2 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有,也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。她拥有合适的家庭背景,足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半,我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 3 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “光彩照人”,她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”,让她变得“谈吐优雅”。 4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后,我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区,我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。我们呆在车子里,我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。“我们要谈些什么?”她问道。 5 "Logic." “逻辑学。” 6 "Cool," she said over her gum. “好酷啊,”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。 7 "The doctrine of logic," I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “逻辑学的原理,”我说道,“即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实,其中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。”

新视野大学英语读写教程第四册课文翻译 Unit 1.a 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。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。 尽管如此,希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。 享受成功的无上光荣,这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。 成名者之所以成名,大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长,并能形成自己的风格。为了能迅速走红,代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。他们究竟是怎么成功的,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、画家或作家感到无聊,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,就会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。公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来,如田纳西·威廉斯的戏剧、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。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。一滴名气之水有可能玷污人的心灵这一整口井,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,却仍然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,却依然故我,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,声称她毁了自己的“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声损失费的请求,反而对他本人进行了罚款。他由于拒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。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;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过世多年以后才成名,或是他们没有出卖自己。他们也可以为自己的失败辩解:自己的才华实在过于高深,不是当代听众或观众所理解得了的。 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·伍尔芙的第一本小说《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毫无音乐家潜质的偏见,成为世界上最伟大的音乐家。

西蒙顿说,如果事业上取得巨大成就者具有什么共性的话 If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an relenting drive to succeed. “There is an tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal,” he explained. “But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It’s a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremend ous amounts of study, practice and devotion.” He cited Winston Churchill, Britain’s prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into his office when his country’s moral was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired to nation when he said, “We should not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end… We shall never surrender.” 一些人不愿表达感激之情,因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。 Some person refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome. A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse. “I don’t come sooner,” he explained, “because I imagined you must b e bored to death with people thanking you.” “On the contrary,” she replied, “I am delighted you came. Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it.” Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life. 一般西方人解决问题的方法是与之搏斗。 The normal Western approach to a problem is to fight it. The saying, “When the going gets tough, the toug h get going,” is typical of this aggressive attitude toward problem-solving. No matter what the problem is, or the techniques available for solving it, the framework produced by our Western way of thinking is fight.Dr.de Bono calls this vertical thinking; the traditional, sequential, Aristotelian thinking of logic, moving firmly from one step to the next, like toy blocks being built one on top of the other. The flaw is, of course, that if at any point one of the step is not reached, or one of the toy blocks is incorrectly placed, then the whole structure collapse. Impasse is reached, and frustration, tension, feelings of fight take over. Lateral thinking, Dr. de Bono says,is a new technique of thinking about things—a technique that avoids this fight altogether,and solves the problem In an entirely unexpected fashion. 学生的成绩达不到老师的期望是常有的事 When a student's work did not measure up to the teacher's expectations, as often happened, the student was not treated with disappointment, anger, or annoyance. Instead, the teacher assumed that this was an exception, an accident, a bad day, a momentary slip — and the student believed her and felt reassured. The next time around, he tried harder, determined to live up to what the teacher knew he could to. The exact part of communication that tells a child, "I expect the best," is difficult to pinpoint. In part it consists of a level tone showing assurance, a lack of verbal impatience, an absence of negative qualities such as irony, put-downs, and irritation.The teacher who expects the best asks her questions with conviction, knowing the answers she gets will be right, and the child picks up
