Section AUNIT 1 一个正派女人受到的诱惑P2得知丈夫请了他的朋友古韦内尔来种植园小住一两周,巴罗达太太有点不快。
古韦内尔生性沉默,这令巴罗达太太颇为不解。
在一起待了几天,她仍感到对他很陌生。
她只得大部分时间让丈夫陪着客人, 但发现自己不在场几乎并未引起古韦内尔的注意。
而后她执意要陪他散步到磨坊去, 试图打破他这种并非有意的沉默,但仍不奏效。
"你的朋友,他什么时候走?" 有一天她问丈夫,"我觉得他太讨厌了。
""还不到一周呢,亲爱的。
我真不明白,他并没给你添麻烦呀。
""是没有。
他要是真能添点麻烦,我倒喜欢他一些了。
真希望他能像别人一样,那样我倒可以做点什么使他过得舒心。
"加斯顿拉了拉妻子的衣袖,双手搂着她的腰,快乐地望着她那充满困惑的眼睛。
"你可真让人吃惊," 他说,"我都说不准你什么时候会怎么做。
瞧你对古韦内尔顶真的样子,对他那么大惊小怪,这可是他最不希望的。
""大惊小怪!" 她急急回道,"瞎说,你怎么这么说!大惊小怪,真是!但你可说过他挺聪明的。
""他是聪明。
但工作太多,这可怜的家伙累垮了,所以我才请他来这儿休息一阵。
""你常说他是个风趣的人,"太太仍在生气,"我以为他至少该风趣点。
明早我进城去试春装。
古韦内尔走了你告诉我。
他走之前我就住姑妈家。
"那晚她独自一人坐在路边橡树下的长凳上,思绪从未这么乱过,就像头顶飞着的蝙蝠一样,忽东忽西。
她理不出丝毫头绪,只感到有一点很明确:她必须第二天一早就离开这里。
巴罗达太太听到从谷仓那边传来了脚步声,她知道那是古韦内尔。
她不想让他看见自己,但她的白色长袍泄露了踪迹。
他在她身旁的长凳上坐下,丝毫不曾想到她可能会反对他坐在那儿。
"您丈夫要我把这个带给您,巴罗达太太,"说着,他递上一块白色纱巾,这是她有时用来做披肩的。

U校园新视野大学英语4读写教程答案Unit 4 Nature: To worship or to conquer Section A4-2 Text A: Achieving sustainable environmentalism Pre-reading activitiesPre-reading activities-11) A2) B3) B4) B5) APre-reading activities-21) As I understand, a "green city" is a city or town that focuses on environmentally friendly practices. It aims to improve the livability of urban surroundings and benefit the well-being of citizens living there.2) To build a green city, other measures include water quality control, efficient recycling and management of waste, use of renewable energy sources, increase of city residents' awareness of environmental protection, and easy access to products and services that make green lifestyle choices easy, such as easy access to organic products and clean transportation methods.Reading comprehensionReading comprehension-11) The rule of sane environmentalism, which holds the belief that it is only necessary to combat ecological changes that directly threaten human health and safety.2) Because they directly threaten human beings, and their consequences cannot be easily addressed.3) It indulges in overt earth worship. It is sentimental, highly selective and incompatible with the reality of natural disasters.4) The author means that he doesn't think man should indulge in nature worship because natural disasters can bring people terrible tragedies.5) The author thinks that biodiversity is necessary to the ecosystem, but it has to be sacrificed sometimes to meet more fundamental human needs.6) The author stands on the side of protecting the logging families. To him, the livelihood of the logging families is more important than the spotted owl.7) The author thinks that nature is under the supervision of us humans, rather than being our master. Humans need to respect nature as well as cultivate it. But when humans have to choose between their own interests and those of nature, they should put their own interests in the first place.8) Man should adapt to nature only when his fate and that of nature are closely connected and man's fate is put in danger. For example, ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect will threaten the living environment of man. Therefore, man has to change his behavior anddo something to stop or reduce the impact of ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect.Reading comprehension-21) I don't quite like the author's classification of "environmental necessity" and "environmental luxury".I think this classifying method is too narrow and extreme. To me, all the issues related to environmental protection need to be considered, not just the ones that threaten human health and safety. Take what the author says about the spotted owl for example. If the spotted owl becomes extinct, the whole ecosystem will be affected and we don't know what other environmental problems will arise.I like the author's classification of "environmental necessity" and "environmental luxury". To me, the world can only spend money and energy protecting things that human beings do depend on for survival. It is impossible for the world to deal with all kinds of environmental problems due to its inability to pay for the costs.2) Human activities can either cause natural disasters or make their effects much worse. For example, one reason that sandstorms, floods and landslides take place is that forests have been destroyed by humans and there are not enough trees and plants to hold the soil. To reduce such natural disasters, humans should attach great importance to planting trees, and at the same time make strict laws to protect forests so that people will not cut trees without planning.3) I think man and nature are interdependent. The reasons are as follows. First, man must realize that he is part of nature and he needs to depend on nature. Therefore man can't ignore natural laws and change nature as he likes. Second, man must understand that nature needs to be managed. If nature has a problem, man should try to solve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, man will eventually suffer from the consequences of the problem.4) Some environmental problems the world is faced with: Water pollution: A large population in the world lacks access to clean drinking water.Air pollution: The air in many cities of the world is so seriously polluted that people can hardly see a blue sky.Wildlife protection: Natural habitats of the wildlife are seriously damaged, and many wildlife species are in danger of extinction.Land erosion: Desertification in some places of the world is causing the loss of large areas of grassland every year.To sum up, these problems are caused by the following factors:People don't have strong awareness of environmental protection.People don't have a long-term vision. They hunt or cut down trees for temporary profit, but they don't realize the price they or their children have to pay in the long run.Some local governments don't make good plans about economic development.5) First, the authorities must have better foresight. Environmental protection is a long-lasting campaign and its impact can't be felt in a short term. However, governments and authorities should always keep in mind the imperative of environmental protection. Some economic benefits don't last long, but the harm to the environment may be enduring. Second, strict laws and policies should be made to ensure that the economy is not developed at the cost of the environment. For example, factories which produce heavy pollution should be closed down and punished severely so that other factories will not do the same.4-3 Text A: Language focusWords in use1. consolidate2. differentiate3. dreadful4. incompatible5. alleged6. bizarre7. correlation8. negligible9. habitats10. intelligibleWord building: Practice Word building: Practice-11) harmonious2) disastrous3) spacious4) hazardous5) virtuous6) victorious7) desirous8) adventurous9) evenly10) routinely11) consequent12) respectivelyWord building: Practice-21. victorious2. hazardous3. consequent4. adventurous5. disastrous6. evenly7. spacious8. respectively9. virtuous10. routinely11. harmonious12. desirous Banked cloze1) incompatible2) preserve3) available4) proportion5) utilized6) converted7) dreadful8) balance9) sane10) considerable Expressions in use 1. took on2. called upon3. runs against the grain4. be incompatible with5. come through6. is bound up7. differentiate between8. have struck a chord with4-4 Structure analysis & writingStructured writing: Practice参考:Have you ever been to a national park? How do you like it? Nowadays, national parks are very common in the world, and they can be found in many countries. Most people believe that national parks are necessary because they can help protect the variety of species on earth and offer people a place where they can explore nature and learn more about the environment. However, there are also different voices about the establishment of national parks.Some people are against national parks because they argue that wild areas should not be disturbed, and wild animals should be left entirely alone. But I think these people may not have realized that some wild animals and plants have become so rare that proper protection is necessary and urgent. The establishment of national parks aims to provide a safe home for native plants and animals. For instance, Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province has provided a natural habitat for giant pandas and many other precious species.Other people oppose national parks because they worry that too much exploration of national parks can be damaging to the environment. True, extreme exploration will do harm to anything. But reasonable exploration of national parks can not only increase people's knowledge about the environment, but also is beneficial to the protection of biodiversity. The thing is, in considering building up a national park, the authorities and experts involved must plan carefully to make sure that the national park will play a significant role in protecting biodiversity. In addition, the government can use the park as a livingschool to teach people the importance of environmental protection.All in all, I agree that national parks are necessary. If we can make good use of them, we can not only protect plant and animal species, but also help people learn more about our environment.4-5 TranslationTranslationTranslation-1参考:巴洛克建筑是一种建筑风格,兴盛于16世纪晚期至18世纪中期的欧洲。

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。

新视野大学英语4读写教程答案加翻译AB篇1--6单元
Unit1Section A课文翻译爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事1 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 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 “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 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 “逻辑学。
”6 “好酷啊,”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。
7 “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。
”8 “好啊,”她表示同意。
9 “‘绝对判断’是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。
比方说:运动是有益的,所以每个人都应该运动。
”10 她点头表示赞同。
11 我看得出她没弄明白。
“波莉,” 我解释说,“这个推断太过简单化了。
如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的,运动就变得有害而不是有益。
所以你应该说,运动对大多数人来说是有益的。
”12 “接下来是‘草率结论’。
这似乎不言自明,对吧?仔细听好了:你不会说法语,罗伯也不会说法语,那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。
”13 “是吗?”波莉吃惊地说。
“没有人吗?”14 “这也是一种逻辑谬误,”我说,“这一结论太草率了,因为能够支持这一结论的例证太少了。

Unit1Section A课文翻译爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事1 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 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 “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 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 “逻辑学。
”6 “好酷啊,”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。
7 “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。
”8 “好啊,”她表示同意。
9 “‘绝对判断’是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。
比方说:运动是有益的,所以每个人都应该运动。
”10 她点头表示赞同。
11 我看得出她没弄明白。
“波莉,” 我解释说,“这个推断太过简单化了。
如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的,运动就变得有害而不是有益。
所以你应该说,运动对大多数人来说是有益的。
”12 “接下来是‘草率结论’。
这似乎不言自明,对吧?仔细听好了:你不会说法语,罗伯也不会说法语,那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。
”13 “是吗?”波莉吃惊地说。
“没有人吗?”14 “这也是一种逻辑谬误,”我说,“这一结论太草率了,因为能够支持这一结论的例证太少了。
