新视野⼤学英语第三版Book 4 Unit 3 课⽂翻译篇1 课⽂A 弗雷德·史密斯与联邦快递：⼀个改变了世界的创想 1. 每天夜晚，在⽥纳西⼶1的孟菲斯机场，都有⼏百架带着⽩、紫、桔⾊图案的飞机降落。

⽽在每天此前的早些时候，这些飞机都在美国各地收集包裹。

⼯作⼈员从飞机上卸下的包裹及信件数量超过五⼗万之巨。

长⽅形的包裹和信封⼜在这⾥依据收件地址被迅速整理分拣，然后装载上其他飞机，飞往各⾃的⽬的地，在那⼉再由⼈⼯投递——到这时很多邮件离开寄件⼈之⼿还不到24⼩时。

这是弗雷德⾥克·W.史密斯的终极梦想，他就是联邦快递集团(最初为联邦快递)这⼀全球最⼤、最成功的隔夜送达服务企业的创始⼈、总裁、⾸席执⾏官及董事会主席。

如今，史密斯这⼀源于⼤学时代的妙想已在现实中经营到了第28个年头，并已成为包裹接递⼊户⾏业的标杆。

2.史密斯被公认为是⼀位和蔼可亲、性格迷⼈的秘⼈的杰出企业家。

⽆论是他的竞争者、员⼯，还是他公司股票的持有⼈，都对他⼗分敬重。

弗雷德·史密斯创建“联邦快递”时只有27岁。

现在多年过去了，他仍然坐在"掌门⼈”的位置上。

他将公司的成功简单地归因于领导⼒，⽽这⼀推论则来⾃于他的军⼈⽣涯及其家庭的影响。

3.弗雷德⾥克·华莱⼠·史密斯1944年8⽉11⽇出⽣于密西西⽐州⼀个富裕的家族。

他四岁时⽗亲就离世了。

史密斯年少时被视为病残者，因为他得了⼀种病，使他⽆法正常⾏⾛。

为此他常遭受坏孩⼦的侮辱捉弄，他学会了挥舞合⾦拐杖来保护⾃⼰。

Conflicts occur when their children fail to reach their expectations. But why do parents tend to expect so much from their children?The harsh reality may be one reason for the high expectations. We can see such logic behind parents' expectations: If their children can study hard, then they will be admitted to key universities, and then they will be much more competitive in job hunting after graduation.The peer pressure is also a contributing factor. Parents tend to compare their kids to other kids interms of academic performance. Parents consider it a shame if their children always lag behind other children. So it is often the case that parents spare no efforts to send their children to expensive training centers.Parents' love for their kids provides another explanation for their burning desire to see the best of their kids. Parents will be proud if their children make great achievements. But sometimes such love becomes a heavy burden on their kids.The harsh reality, peer pressure and parents' love all account for the unreasonable expectations for the kids. To set reasonable expectations for the kids is not easy, but is worth trying; after all, parents don't want the heavy pressure to crush their children.9威尼斯是意大利北部一座世界闻名的岛城：威尼斯建立于公元5世纪，在公元10世纪时成为一支重要的海上力量。

Book 4 Unit 3 课后习题答案

Book 4 Unit 3iPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear was written by one of a group of four singers known as theSilhouettes. He wrote the song back in the 1950s, shortly after leaving the army. It is easy to imagine that it may well reflect his own experience of suddenly finding himself having to look for a job. If the song is anything to go by, his wife was largely unsympathetic, suspecting him of laziness and not trying hard enough. Every morning she would get him out of bed, telling him to get a job; every breakfast she would throw the paper down in front of him, pointing out the jobs he could apply for. And when he got home at the end of the day without having had any success she would accuse him of lying about his job hunting, suspecting, no doubt, that he had not bothered to try. Do you think he did? What does it sound like to you?Silhouettes—Get a JobSha na na na, sha na na na na,Sha na na na, sha na na na na,Sha na na na, sha na na na na,Sha na na na,sha na na na na,Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yipMum mum mum mum mum mumGet a jot Sna na na na, sna na na na naEvery morning about this timeshe get me out of my beda-crying get a job.Alter breakfast, every day,she throws the want ads right my wayAnd never fail s to say,Get a job Sha na na na, sba na na na naSha na na na, sha na na na na,Sha na na na, sha na na na na,Sha na na na, sha na na na na,Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yipMum mum mum mum mum mumGet a job Sha na na na, sha na na na naAnd when I get the paperI read it through and throughAnd my girl never fails to sayIf there is any work for me,And when I go tack to the houseI hear the woman's mouth Preaching and a crying,Tell me that I'm lying 'Lout a job That I never couldrind.
