《全新版大学英语》综合教程5课后翻译

Unit 1 Love of Reading

我的祖母不识字，但是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。小时候我老是缠着她，要她给我讲故事。而她在忙完家务后，总

会把我抱在膝上，一边讲故事一边有节奏地晃动我。

我父亲母亲发现了我对故事的浓重兴趣，不失机机地指引我进行阅读。他们给我买了很多带插图的故事书，有空的时候就一遍遍地读给我听。慢慢地我认识了好多字，能自行阅读了。

Although my grandmother was illiterate, she had a good stack of myths and legends . WhenI was young I gave her no peace, constantly asking her to tell mestories.After she had finished her housework, she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories,all the while rocking me in rhythm.

Having noticed my interest in stories, my parents lost no time in initiating

me into reading. They bought many storybooks with illustrations, and whenever free, they would read these stories to me over and over again. By and by I had a vocabulary large to read on my own .

Unit 2 Diet

一项又一项的研究发现，食品和一些慢性病之间有亲密关系。比如：某些慢性病危险的降低和多吃以食品为基本成分的食品

是有关系的。所以，在过去的十年中，美国饮食协会督促美国人减少动物脂肪的摄入，增添水果、蔬菜和谷物的花费。

同时，美国农业部公布了包含食品指导金字塔在内的文件，鼓舞人们每日起码吃三道蔬菜和两份水果。但是很多美国人仍是没有依

据这些建议去做。

Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases. For example, a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods. Therefore,

in the past, the American Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats, and to boost consumption of fruits, vegetable, and grains. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid which encourages a minimum of 3 vegetables and 2

fruit servings per day. However, many Americans still don’t meet/listen to these recommendations .

Unit 3 Lying

我们大学的新任校长不同意在某些状况下允许说慌的见解。他要求校内全部的教师和学生诚推行事，永不谎话。他认

为一旦人们习惯于说任何一类的谎言，他们就会纵容自己，最后没法挣脱谎话陋习。能否讲谎言有时会成为棘手的难题，但是我们的校长坚持以为在教育青年人的过程中，全部教育界的人士都不得躲避将诚实放在首位的责任。我赞同他的见解。你的建议呢？

The new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances. He calls on all the teachers and students of the university to conduct themselves with honesty and never tell lies.

He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit. To tell or not to tell a lie

can sometimes become a very sticky issue, but our president is adamant that nobody in the world of education should dodge the responsibility of attaching primary importance to honesty while teaching the young. I agree with him,What about you?

Unit 4 unforgettable teachers

在注册上数学 202 这门课时，我就与想到会有困难，由于我在高中念书是数学不好，。这门课是由理查森教授讲解的，

他是一位典型的老派的先生，对学生特别热忱友善。但是，在学术问题上他一点儿也不粗心。在正式讲课以前，他热忱洋溢

地论述了他井井有条的工作、课前做好充足的准备和不知足于所学知识的重要性。他的工作态度拥有很强的感染力，逐渐地，我也爱上了数学。

When I enrolled in Math 202, I anticipated difficulties because I was not well grounded in mathematics in high school.The course was taught by Professor Richardson, a fine specimen of an old-fashioned gentleman, formally dressed, soft spoken, and

cordial to his students. However, when it comes to academic matters, he was by no

means an easy person.Before he started his lecture,he discoursed enthusiastically

on the importance of working in an orderly fashion, of being thoroughly prepared before each class, of being steadfast in one ’ s efforts, and of not being content with what you have learned.There was no doubt that teaching math was something sacred to him. His attitude towards work was infectious, and by and by I became an ardent math lover, too.

Unit 5 Global Warning

多半科学家不再思疑世界正在变暖，也不再思疑是人类改变了天气。他们以为全世界天气变暖对这个星球及其居住者的长

期影响将是灾害性的。并且，天气变化不会安稳过渡到一个较为温暖的世界。一些地域将遇到天气急巨变化的严重影响。人口密集的大地域如佛罗里达沿海地带将没法居住。千百王居民将不得不迁徙到安全地域。所以，全世界变暖出此刻世界领袖们的议事日程上也就不以为奇了。

Most scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be

disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by

abrupt climate changes. Enormousareas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable.Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions. Therefore, there is no surprise that global warming has made it

way onto the agenda of world leaders.

Unit 6 The American Civil War

1807 年，罗伯特 . 李出生在弗吉尼亚州的一个很有地位的家庭。他的父亲不单是乔治华盛顿的个人朋友，还担当过三届

was lee ’s father a personal friend of George Washington, but he served three terms

Military Academy. This began a mew chapter of his life. Over the four years, his
