1、If all goes well,in2011,a year before the Kyoto protocol expires,a new opera will open at La Scala in Milan.It will be based on“An Inconvenient Truth”,the book and film about global warming by Al Gore,the former vice-president.It is easy to see the drama in the story of the failed American presidential candidate turned green crusader(although not in the thickets of statistics into which he sometimes strays).But whether the opera in Milan will end happily or tragically,the composer has not yet revealed.如果一切顺利的话,在2011年,也就是京都议定书到期的前一年,一部新歌剧将要在米兰斯卡拉歌剧院上演。

它将是基于前副总统戈尔关于全球变暖所著的书和电影即《难以忽视的真相》。

这很容易让人们看到这位失败的美国总统候选人转变成为了绿色环保斗士的戏剧性变化(虽然从他任职期间的统计数据中不容易看出有什么戏剧变化)。

但无论这场歌剧在米兰歌剧院是否将愉快结束或悲惨结束,作曲家尚未透露。

2、The lowest of these categories is partisanship:us lot beating them lot,our bloke beating their bloke-and it’s the most wonderful fun,especially when you win.Partisanship is the bread and butter of the sports industry:loyalty,identification,cheering for your team,your man,feeling absurdly glad when you win and suffering the most ridiculous pain when you lose.One world,one dream,and that dream is to beat the crap out of everybodyelse.Partisanship is Tim Henman at Wimbledon:agonising desperation for a mere result,glorious and painful to experience because of the extreme identification of audience and athlete.这些类别的最低层是民族自豪感:我们这边打败了他们那边,我们的选手击败了他们的选手,而且这是最美妙的乐趣,尤其是当你赢的时候。

英语泛读教程2课文翻译Lesson 2: The Benefits of ReadingReading is one of the most enjoyable and beneficial activities we can engage in. It not only provides us with knowledge and information but also allows us to escape from the stresses of everyday life.Firstly, reading broadens our horizons and exposes us to new ideas and perspectives. By reading books from different genres, we can gain insights into various cultures, time periods, and experiences. For example, reading literature from different countries allows us to understand and appreciate their unique customs and traditions. Moreover, reading about historical events provides us with a deeper understanding of the past and its impact on the present.Furthermore, reading enhances our cognitive abilities and improves our critical thinking skills. When we read, our minds are constantly processing information, making connections, and analyzing the content. This mental exercise stimulates our brain and strengthens our analytical thinking. With continued reading, we become better at evaluating situations, solving problems, and making informed decisions.Reading also has a positive effect on our emotional wellbeing. When we immerse ourselves in a good book, we can temporarily escape our own problems and enter a different world. This escapism allows us to relax and unwind, reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, reading can evoke a wide range of emotions, such as joy, sadness, or excitement, helping us to empathize withthe characters and situations portrayed in the literature.In addition, reading improves our language skills. It exposes us to a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures, helping us to develop a more extensive and nuanced vocabulary. Reading also improves our grammar and writing skills, as we subconsciously absorb correct sentence structures and writing styles from the books we read.Finally, reading can be a social activity that brings people together. Through discussions and book clubs, readers can share their thoughts and interpretations of the books they read, fostering a sense of community and encouraging meaningful conversations.In conclusion, reading provides numerous benefits, including broadening our horizons, enhancing cognitive abilities, promoting emotional wellbeing, improving language skills, and fostering social connections. Therefore, we should endeavor to make reading a regular part of our lives.。

美国华裔们与大部分移民一样,来这儿是为了逃离战争与饥荒,远离迫害与贫穷。

又与其他移民的后裔一般,他们的子孙开始称美国为“祖国”。

如果美国除去华裔们为其取得的成就,那它将不会成为今日之美国。

14 . THE B E RMUD A T R I ANGLEⅡ .参考(cānkǎo)译文百慕大三角(sānjiǎo)海域百慕大三角海域被认为是世界上最神秘的地方之一。

飞机、船只、乘客(chéngkè)在这个地区突然间消失得无影无踪。

是什么导致了这些事件的发生呢?大西洋中有个地方(dìfāng), 在那儿船只、飞机失踪的事件似乎比地球上其他地方发生得更为频繁。

它位于迈阿密、百慕大和波多黎各以东海域之间, 看上去像是个三角形区域。

自从1945 年以来,已有100 多只轮船和飞机在那里消失, 1 000 多人在那里失踪。

那些失踪的飞机似乎像是飞进了天空中的一个洞里, 而那些失踪的轮船则好像被突然吸入了一个巨大的漩涡中。

最奇怪的事情是, 在此之后什么也没有找到过: 水里看不到尸体, 也没有被冲到海滩上。

最大的一起飞机失踪事件发生在1945 年12 月。

从佛罗里达州起飞的五架海军飞机当时正一起飞行。

飞机上共有14 名男子。

他们用无线电向基地发回报告说, 他们的飞行装置失灵了。

他们说他们不知道自己身在何处。

基地给他们回电说让他们朝着太阳向西飞行。

他们回答说尽管天气很好, 他们却看不见太阳。

他们还说, 大海看上去有些异样。

最后他们说他们听不到基地的讯号, 但基地控制塔仍能听到他们在谈论着“白水”。

控制塔最后听到的是“: 不要跟着我们。

它看上去像是⋯⋯”接着就是一片寂静。

与此同时, 乘坐着另一架飞机的13 名男子已被派去营救他们, 但是他们却只发回了一个信息, 说他们就要到达飞机失踪的地点接着这架飞机也失踪了, 再也没有听到过它的音信。

经过好几个月的调查和搜寻, 一名海军官说, “他们差不多就像是去了火星一样。

”有的时候, 一架飞机或一艘轮船就在刚刚发回信息说一切正常时, 却消失了。

在1963 年的圣诞节期间, 一架DC—3 客机正要进入迈阿密着陆。

飞行员要求给予着陆指示, 接着他说, “你会相信吗? 乘客们还正唱着圣诞颂歌呢!”接着飞机的无线电讯号突然中断。

As long ago as September of 1974 Scientific American publisheda special issue on population that described what demographers had begun calling the "demographic transition" from traditional high rates of birth and death to the low ones of modern society.(早在1974年9月,《美国科学》杂志发行了一份人口研究专号,描述了人口学家所称的"人口过渡期"的情况,即从传统的高出生率和死亡率转到现代社会的低出生率和死亡率。

)4. The experts' assumption that population would stabilize because birth rates would stop falling once they matched the new low death rates has not been borne out by experience.(专家们推测出生率一旦同新的低死亡率达到平衡后就会停止衰减,所以人口能够保持稳定,这种推测没有得到经验的证实。

5. In the United States fertility has been falling for 200 years (except for the blip of the Baby Boom3), but partly because of immigration it has stayed only slightly below replacement level for twenty-five years.(美国二百多年来生育率一直在下降[除了二战过后出现的短暂的生育高峰期],但是在某种程度上受移民的影响,在25年里它只略低于人口臵换率。

)6. World population can be stable only if fertility rates around the world average out to 2.1 children per woman.(只有世界范围内的出生率能达到平均每位妇女生育2.1个子女,世界人口才可能稳定。

)7. Much bigger changes in share are possible for smaller groups if they can maintain their difference from the average for a long period of time.(对于一些较小的人口群体来说,如果他们长时间内与平均出生率保持差距,那么他们所占世界人口的份额可能会产生更大的变化。

)8. If they do, and fertility rates start to climb, fertility is no more likely to stop climbing at an average rate of 2.1 children per woman than it was to stop falling at 2.1 on the way down.(如果是这样,那么出生率就会攀升。

而且在达到每位女性生育2.1个子女这样一个平均水平后会停止上升的可能性并不比降到2.1后会停止下降的可能性大多少。

)Food Fight1. Over the past decade, genetically modified (GM) food has become an increasingly common phenomenon as scientists have rewoven the genes of countless fruits and vegetables, turning everyday crops intoüber-crops able to resist frost, withstand herbicides and even produce their own pesticides.(在刚刚过去的十年中,随着科学家们对许多蔬菜和水果中基因的改变,这些人们每天食用的作物已经变成超级作物,这些作物能够防霜冻,抵抗除草剂,甚至它们本身就能杀虫,因此转基因食物已迅速成为普遍现象。

) Withstand: remain undamaged or unaffected by.2. Sales of GM seeds rose in value from $75 million in 1995 to $1.5 billion last year, and the crops they produce are turning up not only on produce shelves but also in processed foods from cookies to potato chips to baby food.(基因作物种子售出的总值从1995年的七百五十万增加到去年的十亿五千万,并且他们生产的作物不仅出现在直接生产的产品中而且出现在加工食品中,从饼干到薯条到婴儿食品。
