When we discuss business it starts with a(n) chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another of making money.All of this used to create a real for me. At first, it caused me to have as little with American business partners as possible.

Pre-reading activities P2
• Script: I'm Michal. I live in Poland, and Polish is my native language. I started learning English by listening to the Beatles everyday. At the beginning, I didn’t know what they were singing, but soon I started to understand individual words, and later, more. Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am delighted and feel proud because now I can understand a lot better. I listen to many rock bands, all in English, and I really enjoy them. Besides listening to English songs, I also started reading science fiction books in English. I still remember how excited I was when I successfully finished reading the first English book, a great breakthrough in my life! When I read in English, I not only have the pleasure of reading but also get the feeling of self-accomplishment. English has given me so much satisfaction and pleasure. I feel I’m free.

U1 AToward a brighter future for all奔向更加光明的未来Good afternoon! As president of the university, I am proud to welcome you to this university. Your achievement is the triumph of years of hard work, both of your own and of your parents and teachers. Here at the university, we pledge to make your educational experience as rewarding as possible.下午好!作为校长,我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。

你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果,也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。

在这所大学里,我们承诺将使你们学有所成。

In welcoming you to the university, I am reminded of my own high school graduation and the photograph my mom took of my dad and me. "Pose naturally." Mom instructed us. "Wait!" said Dad, "Let's take a picture of me handing him an alarm clock." The clock woke me up every morning in college. It is still on my office desk.在欢迎你们到来的这一刻,我想起自己高中毕业时的情景,还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。

新视野大学英语读写教程(第三版)Book2-unit1课文翻译及课后答案

新视野大学英语第三版第二册unit1课文翻译与习题答案课文 A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。

对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。

2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。

我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 没了。

所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。

5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。

学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their / there / they‟re 之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。

由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。

6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。

举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery (文具用品) 并没有被钉在那儿。

朋友和亲人常宣称They‟ve just ate。

实际上,他们应该说They‟ve just eaten。

因此,批评学生不合乎情理。

7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。

学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。

可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。

还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。

学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。

8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味,所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。

所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。

5 关于正确使用英语的能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。

学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their / there / they’re 之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。

由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。

6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。

举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery (文具用品) 并没有被钉在那儿。

朋友和亲人常宣称They’ve just ate。

实际上,他们应该说They’ve just eaten。

因此,批评学生不合乎情理。

7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。

学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。

可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。

还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。

学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。

8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味,所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。

Unit 1Learning the art of critical thinkingA. There is nothing more practical than sound thinking. No matter what your circumstance or goals, no matter where you are, or what problems you face, you are better off if your thinking is skilled. As a manager, leader, employee, citizen, lover, friend, parent –in every realm and situation of your life –good thinking pays off. Poor thinking, in turn, inevitably causes problems, wastes time and energy, and engenders frustration and pain.B. Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. The general goal of thinking is to "figure out the lay of the land" in any situation we are in. We all have multiple choices to make. We need the best information to make the best choices.C. It is important to realize that serious study of thinking, serious thinking about thinking, is rare. It is not a subject in most colleges. It is seldom found in the thinking of our culture. But if you focus your attention for a moment on the role that thinking is playing in your life, you may come to recognize that, in fact, everything you do, or want, or feel is influenced by your thinking.D. To make significant gains in the quality of your thinking you will have to engage in a kind of work that most humans find unpleasant, if not painful – intellectual work. Yet once this thinking is done and we move our thinking to a higher level of quality, it is not hard to keep it at that level. Still, there is the price you have to pay to step up to the next level. One doesn't become a skillful critic of thinking overnight, any more than one becomes a skillful basketball player or musician overnight. To become better at thinking, you must be willing to put the work into thinking that skilled improvement always requires.E. This means you must be willing to practice special "acts" of thinking that are initially at least uncomfortable, and sometimes challenging and difficult. You have to learn to do with your mind "moves" analogous to what accomplished athletes learn to do (through practice and feedback) with their bodies. Improvement in thinking, in other words, is similar to improvement in other domains of performance where progress is a product of sound theory, commitment, hard work, and practice. Consider the following key ideas, which, when applied, result in a mind practicing skilled thinking. These ideas represent just a few of the many ways in which disciplined thinkers actively apply theory of mind to the mind by the mind in order to think better.1. Clarify your thinking.F. Our own thinking usually seems clear to us, even when it is not. But vague, ambiguous, muddled, deceptive, or misleading thinking are significant problems in human life. If we are to develop as thinkers, we must learn the art of clarifying thinking, of pinning it down, spelling it out, and giving it a specific meaning. Here's what you can do to begin. When people explain things to you, summarize in your own words what you think they said. When you cannot do this to theirsatisfaction, you don't really understand what they said. When they cannot summarize what you have said to your satisfaction, they don't really understand what you said. Try it. See what happens.2. Stick to the point.G. Be on the lookout for fragmented thinking, thinking that leaps about with no logical connections. Start noticing when you or others fail to stay focused on what is relevant. Focus on finding what will aid you in truly solving a problem. When someone brings up a point (however true) that doesn't seem pertinent to the issue at hand, ask, "How is what you are saying relevant to the issue?" When you are working through a problem, make sure you stay focused on what sheds light on and, thus, helps address the problem. Don't allow your mind to wander to unrelated matters. Don't allow others to stray from the main issue. Frequently ask: "What is the central question? Is this or that relevant to it? How?"3. Question questions.H. Most people are not skilled questioners. Most accept the world as it is presented to them. And when they do question, their questions are often superficial or "loaded". Their questions do not help them solve their problems or make better decisions. Good thinkers routinely ask questions in order to understand and effectively deal with the world around them. They question the status quo. They know that things are often different from the way they are presented. Their questions penetrate images, masks, fronts, and propaganda. Their questions make real problems explicit and discipline their thinking through those problems. If you become a student of questions, you can learn to ask powerful questions that lead to a deeper and more fulfilling life. Your questions become more basic, essential, and deep.4. Be reasonable.I. One of the hallmarks of a critical thinker is the disposition to change one's mind when given good reason to change. Good thinkers want to change their thinking when they discover better thinking. They can be moved by reason. Yet, comparatively few people are reasonable. Few are willing to change their minds once set. Few are willing to suspend their beliefs to fully hear the views of those with which they disagree. How would you rate yourself?J. The extent to which any of us develops as a thinker is directly determined by the amount of time we dedicate to our development, the quality of the intellectual practice we engage in, and the depth, or the lack thereof, of our commitment to becoming more reasonable, rational, successful persons.1. Critical thinking is a kind of art that can be trained to guarantee that you use the2. If other people are not satisfied with your summary of what they said, it means you have problems understanding what they said.4. You may find that your thinking influences whatever you do, or want, or feel, if5. Most people are unwilling to suspend their beliefs and seriously listen to others'6. Intellectual work, though unpleasant for most people, can help us make great8. In order to avoid thinking fragmentedly, you need to concentrate on finding the key9. Critical thinkers will change their minds when there are good reasons to do so,10. The process of learning to train your mind is similar to the process of athletes learning to train their bodies.1-5:BFACI6-10:DHGIE。

读写教程2 Unit1-8单元翻译Unit1一、英译汉English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.译文:人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。

UnitlLanguage in missionUnderstanding and LearningOverviewThis unit focuses on learning English with text Atalking about how grammar and vocabulary canbe taught efficiently and text B how the languagecan be learned successfully. In other words, one is about how to teach and the other how to leam.The writing style between the two texts is alsosomewhat different, the first one is more relaxedand humorous, a typical style in English discourse.The tone of the second text howeveris more formal and serious. When teachers familiarize students with the texts, they need to point out their respective writing styles and also think about how to involve students in class activities from twodifferent angles: teaching vs. learning. Meanwhile students should be encouraged to express their opinions about the current way of teaching in anEnglish class, thereby expressing their thoughts freely. Activities can range from class discussion to peer interview and panel debate such as whether grammar is of crucial importance in leamingEnglish and how one can excel when learning thatlanguage. Students need to share their leamingexperience and find out more effective ways to learn English grammar and vocabulary. Section AAn impressive English lessonBackground information1.Learning English grammarThe goal of developing learners’ functional competence in a second language is not a new idea. Originally, the term Grammar referred to the art of writing. As used today by many teachers and learners, grammar is loosely understood to be a set of rules that govern a language. Communicative language teaching has placed a renewed emphasis on the role of grammar, especially in the early stages of instruction. Viewing grammar with all of its components helps language teachers andleamers understand the complexity of what itmeans to know the grammar of a language. Clearly,the goal of language learning in a communicative classroom is for learners to acquire the grammar of the second language in its broadest sense toenable them to understand and make meaningthat is, to become proficient users of the language.Research and experience have shown that explicitteaching of grammatical rules does not producesuch competence. How should grammar be taughteffectively? It still has remained a question to all thelanguage teachers. Detailed study of the text1. If I am the only parent who still corrects his child’s English, then perhaps my son is right. To him,I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to. (Para. 1)Meaning: My son is probably right if there is no other parent like me who still corrects his child’s mistake in English. To my son, I am a boring and strange father, who he has to listen to ; I am also the one who pa ys lots of attention to grammar rules, which he doesn’t seem to like.★tedious: a. boring and continuing for too long )〔长乏味的Telling thestory has become tedious, as I have done it so many times.讲述这个故事已变得单调乏味,因为我己经讲了这么多次了。

To him,I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。

对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。

2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest anticipation.我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。

我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words, and then exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 And that was it.

Text AEx.1 Understanding the text1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!”without any any specific comment.3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.Ex.3 Words in use1.condense2.exceed3.deficit4.exposure5.asset6.adequatepetent8.adjusting9.precisely 10.beneficialEx.4 Word building-al/-ial: managerial/editorial/substance/survival/tradition/margin-cy : consistency/accuracy/efficient-y : recovery/ministry/assemblyEx.5 Word building1.editorial2.recovery3.accuracy4.substance5.managerial6.margin7.assembly8.Ministry9.survival 10.tradition 11.consistency 12.efficientEx.6 Banked cloze1-5: L C J A I 6-10: O N E H FEx.7 Expressions in use1.feel obliged to2.be serious about3.run into4.distinguish between5.thrust upon6.was allergic to7.get lost8.be attracted to9.make sense 10.looked upon asEx.8 Structured writingSome bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care about it at all. My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differencesbetween used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head . I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams . I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!Ex.9 E-C Translation人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。
