Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

新人教版高中英语课文译文 必修三 第一单元世界各地的节日 Reading 节日和庆典 自古以来，世界各地就有各种各样的节日和庆典。最古老的节日总是庆祝严寒的结束、春季的种植和秋天的收割。有时，在猎人捕获猎物后，也举行庆祝活动。在那个时代，如果食物难以找到，特别是在寒冷的冬月，人们就会挨饿。现在的节日有很多由来，一些是宗教上的，一些是季节性的，一些是纪念特殊的人和事件的。 亡灵节 有些节日，是为了纪念死者，或使祖先得到满足，因为祖先们有可能回到世上（给人们）提供帮助，也有可能带来危害。在日本的盂兰盆节，人们要扫墓、烧香，以缅怀祖先。他们还点起灯笼，奏响乐曲，因为他们认为这样做可以把祖先引回到世上。在墨西哥，亡灵节是在11月初。在这个重要的节庆日子里，人们会吃制成颅骨形状的食物和装点有“骨头”的蛋糕。他们向亡者祭献食物、鲜花和礼品。西方节日万圣节也源自人们古老的信念，认为亡者的灵魂会返回人间。万圣节如今成了孩子们的节日，这天他们可以乔装打扮上邻居家要糖吃。如果邻居什么糖也不给，那么孩子们就可以捉弄他们了。 纪念名人的节日 也有纪念名人的节日。中国的端午节（龙舟节）是纪念古代著名诗人屈

原的。美国的哥伦布日是纪念克里斯托弗.哥伦布发现“新大陆”的日子。印度 在10月2日有个全国性节日，纪念莫汉达斯.甘地，他是帮助印度脱离英国 而独立的领袖。 庆丰收的节日 收获与感恩节是十分喜庆的节日。越冬的粮食收集起来了，农活结束了，人们都心怀感激。在欧洲国家，人们通常用花果来装饰教堂和市政厅，在一 起聚餐。有些人还可能因为他们的农产品（参加各种评选）而获奖，比如最 大的西瓜或最帅的公鸡。中国和日本都有中秋节，这时人们会赏月。在中国，人们还品尝月饼。 春天的节日 最富生气而又最重要的节日，就是告别冬天、迎来春天的日子。中国人 过春节要吃饺子、鱼和肉，还要给孩子们送红纸包着的压岁钱。（他们）舞 龙灯、狂欢，全家人聚在一起欢庆阴历年。在一些西方国家有激动人心的狂 欢节，通常在二月，复活节前的四十天。狂欢节期间，人们穿着各种艳丽的 节日盛装，伴随着鼓噪的音乐，在街头游行，昼夜跳舞。复活节是全世界基 督徒的一个重要的宗教和公众节日。它庆祝耶稣复活，也欢庆春天和新生命 的到来。再晚些时候，日本就迎来了樱花节，（节日里）整个国度到处是盛 开的樱花。看上去就像覆盖了一层粉红色的雪。 人们喜欢聚在一起吃、喝、玩耍。节日让我们享受生活，让我们为自己的习俗而自豪，还可以暂时忘掉工作中的烦恼。 Using Language 一段伤心的爱情故事 李方的心都碎了。这天是情人节，胡瑾说她下班后会在咖啡馆和他见面

2.（课文翻译）Unit 1寻找琥珀屋 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有这个名字，是因为造这间房子用了好几吨的琥珀。选出来的琥珀色彩艳丽，呈现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的别致的建筑式样。它也是用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。一批国家最优秀的艺术家用了大约十年的时间才把它完成。 事实上，这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿设计（制作）的。然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈·威廉一世，这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠，沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约四米，被用作招待重要来宾的小型会客室。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。她叫她的工匠在原来设计的基础上增添了更多精细的装饰。1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光，可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的一大奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。 1941年9月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前，俄罗斯人只能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术饰品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。在不到两天的时间里，10万个部件装进了27个木箱。毫无疑问，这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡，它是当时德国在波罗的海边的一个城市。从那以后，琥珀屋的去处便成了一个谜。 近来，俄罗斯人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋，通过研究琥珀屋原来的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋样子和旧的看起来非常像。2003年，圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成300周年。 3.事实还是看法？ 什么是事实呢？是不是人们所相信的就是事实呢？不是。事实是可以证实的信息。举例来说，中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都多，这是可以得到证实的，这就是事实。 那么，什么是看法呢？看法是人们相信是真实的但是未经证实。因此在审判中， 看法不是强有力的证据。举例来说，如果你 说：“猫作为宠物比狗好。”这就是看法， 这个看法可能是正确的，但是它难以被证 实。有些人可能不同意这种看法，但是他们 也不能证明他们是正确的。 在审判中，法官必须断定哪些证人可以相 信，哪些证人不能相信。法官并不考虑证人 的长相如何，也不考虑这个人住在哪里，在 哪儿工作。他（她）关心的只是目击者是否 提供了真实的信息，这些信息必须是事实而 不是个人观点或看法。这种信息就叫做证 据。 2.（课文翻译）Unit 2采访 帕萨尼亚斯是大约2000年前的一位希腊 作家，他于2007年3月18日作了一次魔幻 旅行，来打听当代奥林匹克运动会的情况。 现在他正在采访一位2008年奥林匹克运动 会的志愿者李燕。 帕：我叫帕萨尼亚斯。我生活在你们所说的 “古希腊”。我曾经写过很久以前奥林匹克 运动会的情况。现在我来到你们这个时代， 想了解有关当代奥运会的情况，因为我知道 2004年奥运会是在我的祖国举行的。我可 以问你几个有关现代奥林匹克运动会的问 题吗？ 李：天哪！你真的来自那么久远的年代？当 然你可以问你想问的问题。你想知道什么 呢？ 帕：你们的奥运会多久举行一次？ 李：每四年一次。运动会有两种：夏季奥运 会和冬季奥运会。这两种运动会都是四年举 行一次。冬季奥运会总是在夏季奥运会的前 两年举行。只有达到他们各自项目统一标准 的运动员才会被接受参加奥运会。选手可以 来自全世界任何一个地方。 帕：冬季奥运会？冬天运动员怎么可能赛跑 啊？又怎么可能赛马呢？ 李：噢，不！冬奥会并不包括跑步和骑马比 赛，但是却有像滑冰和滑雪这类需要冰雪的 比赛项目，所以才叫它冬季奥运会。跑步、 游泳、划船和一些团队项目是在夏季运动会 上进行。 帕：我明白了。你原来说邀请来的运动员来 自世界各地。你指的是希腊世界？我们希腊 各个城市之间曾经为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞 争。别的国家不能参加，奴隶和妇女也不能 参加。 李：现在只要他们的运动员达到了参赛的标 准，任何国家都能参赛。总共有250多个运 动项目，每个项目都有自己的标准。妇女不 仅允许参加，而且她们还在体操、竞技和团 队等比赛项目中起着非常重要的作用…… 帕：请等一下！所有这么多项目，所有这么 多国家，甚至妇女也都参加！所有这些参赛 的人住在哪里呢？ 李：每届奥运会都有一个特殊的村庄（奥运 村）供参赛的人住，一个主要的接待大楼， 好几个供比赛用的体育场，还有一个室内体 育馆。 帕：那听起来要花很多钱吧。会有人想承办 奥运会吗？ 李：事实上，每个国家都想抓住这个机会。 被选中不仅要承担巨大的责任同时也享有 极大的荣誉。国与国之间争取奥运会承办权 的竞争就跟争夺奥运奖牌一样的激烈。2008 年的奥运会将在中国举行，你知道吗？ 帕：是的，听说过，你一定很自豪。 李：当然。那么2012年的奥运会将在伦敦 举行。他们现在已开始筹划。在伦敦的东部 将为运动员建立一个新的奥运村和所有的 运动场。当然还会设计新的奖牌…… 帕：你刚才说奖牌是吗？就连橄榄枝花环也 被取代了！天哪，你们也为奖金而竞赛吗？ 李：不，不是的。仍然是为了能够跑得更快， 跳得更高，掷得更远。你知道，奥运会的口 号就是“更快，更高，更强”。 帕：这是个好消息。很有趣！占用了你的时 间，非常感谢。 3.（课文翻译）阿特兰大的故事 特兰大是一位希腊公主。她长得很美， 跑得比希腊的任何男人都快，但是她却不被 允许在奥运会上参加比赛为自己赢得荣誉。 她因此非常生气，就跟她的父亲说，她不会 嫁给任何跑不过她的男人的。她的父亲说她 必须结婚，于是亚特兰大就和她的父亲达成 了一个协议。她对父亲说：“我有我的条件。 如果有人说想娶我，我就跟他赛跑。如果他 跑得不如我快，他就要被杀掉，任何人不得 求饶。” 许多国王和王子想要娶阿特兰大。但是当听 到她规定的条件时，他们知道是没有希望 的，因此许多人就闷闷不乐地回家了，但是 也有一些人留下来赛跑。有位叫希波墨涅斯 的人，听到亚特兰大的条件，大为吃惊。他 想：“为什么这些人那么愚蠢呢？为什么他 们跑不过这个公主就让别人把自己杀掉 呢？”后来，当希波墨涅斯看到亚特兰大从 屋子里出来跑步时，他改变了主意。他说： “我要娶亚特兰大，否则就去死。” 比赛开始了，虽然那些男人跑得很快，可是 亚特兰大跑得更快。希波墨涅斯想：“我怎 样才能跑得像亚特兰大一样快呢？”他去 向希腊爱情女神求助。女神答应帮助他，并 且给了他三个金苹果。她说：“当亚特兰大 跑过你的时候，你就把一个苹果扔在她前 面。当她停下来去捡苹果时，你就可以继续 向前跑而获胜。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果去见 国王。他说：“我要娶亚特兰大。”国王很忧伤，因 为又要看到一个人去送死了，但是希波墨涅斯说： “我要娶她，要不，我就去死。”于是比赛开始了。 2.（课文翻译）Unit 3我是谁？ 经过一段时间我已经被改变了很多。1642年我在法 国诞生时是一台计算机器。尽管当时我还年轻，但是 我能简化一些复杂的数学题。我发育缓慢，差不多到 了两百年之后，查尔斯·巴比奇才把我制成了一台分 析机。在操作员用穿卡孔为我设计程序后，我能够进 行逻辑“思考”，并且能够比任何人更快地算出答 案。那时这被当作是一次技术革命，也是我“人工智 能”的开始。在1936年，我真正的父亲艾伦·图灵 写了一本书，讲述了怎样使我成为一台“通用机器” 来解决任何数学难题。从那时起，我在体积和脑容量 方面迅速成长。到二十世纪四十年代，我已经长得像 一间屋子那么大，我不知道是否还会长得更大。但是， 这个现实也使得我的设计者很担心。随着时间的推 移，我被弄得越来越小。自二十世纪七十年代以来， 我一直被用在办公室和家庭里，先是用作个人电脑， 后来又被做成便携式。 这些变化只有随着我的存储能力的不断提高才成为 可能。最初是被存储到电子管中，以后是晶体管上， 后来是非常小的芯片上。因此，我已经完全改变了我 的形状。随着我的年龄越来越大，我也变得越来越小。 随着时间的推移，我的记忆能力发展得如此之快，就 像一头大象一样，从来不会忘记告诉我的任何事情！ 我的存储容量变得如此巨大，连我自己都不能相信！ 但是我总是孤孤单单地站在那里，直到二十世纪六十 年代初，人们才给了我一个用网络联成的家庭。我能 够通过万维网和其他人分享我的知识。 从二十世纪七十年代起，我又被开发出了很多新的用 途。我在通讯、金融和商业领域变得非常重要。我还 被放在机器人里面，被用来制作移动手机，并且用来 帮助作医疗手术。我还被放置在航空火箭里去探测月 球和火星。不管怎样，我的目标是给人类提供高质量 得生活。现在我充满了幸福感，因为我是人类忠实的 朋友并时时给他们提供帮助。 3.（课文翻译）机器人安迪 我是安迪足球队的一个成员。每年大约有一次， 我们可以获准在一起进行一次足球赛。我同真人一样 大小。事实上我看上去也很像人。我在球队中是前锋， 所以我需要跑得非常快。我的电脑芯片帮助我像真人 一样运动和思考。例如，当我前面没人防守有机会射 一个好球的时候，我已经学会了用计算机语言向队友 示意把球传给我。 我第一次足球比赛是几年前在日本的名古屋。去年， 我们队去了美国华盛顿州的西雅图比赛，获得了第二 名。我个人认为得冠军的那个队作弊了。他们恰好在 比赛前研制了一种新程序。因此我们也需要鼓励我们 的程序编制员来提高我们的智能。我们决心创造一个 更好的系统。从某种程度上看，我们的程序员就像是 我们的教练。她把观看人类比赛时所看到的一切可能 动作编入我们的程序，然后她把我在新情况下能用得 上的可靠动作准备好。这样，我就可以用“人工智
