DictationBaseball is America's national sport, played mainly by men. It developed in the mid 19th century from the British games of rounders and cricket. Baseball is also popular in Japan and several Latin American countries, and has been an Olympic sport since in 1972. Softball is similar but uses a large, softer ball and is popular with women. Many Americans play baseball for fun because players do not have to be strong like football players or tall like basketball players. Some peoplethink baseball is too slow, but the team managers often change their players and plans during the game, and there are many exciting plays. Many American families enjoy going to a Sunday afternoon double-header, that is, two games between the same two teams in one day.翻译你能想像一个身体严重残疾的妇女独自经营一个网站并且像一个专业的体育记者一样详细报道洛杉矶道奇队吗?如果我没有亲眼见到她蜷曲在轮椅里，用固定在头上的一根棍子敲击字键打出她的评论，我是绝不会相信的。

大学英语精读文本第3册Unit 4

---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------大学英语精读文本第3册Unit 4Unit 4 Text In big cities like New York, you can find homeless women with shopping bags wandering on the streets. They choose to live in an isolated, mistrustful world of their own. They are called lady hermits or just shopping-bag ladies. Lady Hermits Who Are Down But Not Out Every large city hasits shifting population of vagrants. But in most cases theseare men, usually with an unhealthy appetite for alcohol. Only New York, it seems, attracts this peculiar populace of lone and homeless women who live in an isolated, mistrustful world of their own. Shopping-bag ladies do not drink. They do not huddle together for warmth and companionship like bums. Theydo not seem to like one another very much. Neither are they too keen on conventional people. Urban hermits, one sociologist has called them. They will send their days and nights in the same neighborhood for months on end, then disappear as inexplicablyas they came. They know the hours when restaurants put their leftovers in the garbage cans where they search for food. And local residents, seeing the same bag lady on the same corner every day, will slip her some change as they pass. Shopping-bag ladies do not overtly beg, but they do not refuse1 / 8what is offered. Once a shopping-bag lady becomes a figure of your neighborhood, it is as hard to pass her by without giving her some money as it is to ignore the collection box in church. And although you may not like it, if she chooses your doorway as her place to sleep in the night, it is as morally hard to turn her away as it is a lost dog. There are various categories of bag ladies: those who live on the streets, claiming they enjoy the freedom from constraints of society; those who became homeless because a relative died or because they couldn’t keep up rent payments, and they didn’t know where to go or how to apply for relief; and quasi bag ladies who have an anchor point a sister or brother whom they can visit once in a while to take a bath. Most shopping-bag ladies seem to be between the ages of 40 and 65. They wear layers of clothes even in summer time, with newspapers stuffed between the layers as further protection against bad weather In general, the more bags the ladies carry the better organist bad weather. In general, the more bags the ladies carry the better organised they are to cope with life on the streets. You may think I have a lot of garbage in these bags, one shopping-bag lady volunteered over lunch in a church soup kitchen, but it’s everything I need. Extra clothes, newspapers for the cold.---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Shopping-bag ladies are not very communicative and take general conversation as an intrusion. But after a while, warmed by chicken soup, she began to speak. The place is nice, she volunteered, people are friendly. Most New Yorkers are very cold. I have sisters in the city, but when you grow up, each goes his own way. Right? I go out a lot because of my teeth. You know how it is: you pick up something in a restaurant and your teeth turn rotten, no matter how careful you are. People aren’t considerate. The restaurants don’t wash the glasses properly, and before you know where you are you have caught it. That’s what happened to me. I don’t like meeting people untilI have this dental work done. So I go out to forget my troubles.I sit a little while somewhere, have something to eat at oneof these places, then go wherever I have to go. I take all my things with me because you can’t trust people. The storyof the dental work was a typical shopping-bag lady fantasy. Psychiatrists say that even after long interviews shopping-bag ladies are still at a loss to separate truth from imagination. One quasi bag lady spends about eight hours every day at thefoot of the main escalator in a railroad station, although she rents a room in a cheap hotel in the neighborhood. One of the3 / 8priests from the nearby church found this lodging for her afterhe discovered that she was entitled to a small disabilitypension which she had never claimed. But every day from aboutnine to five, she still takes a milk crate and sits by thestation escalator, not doing anything or talking to anyone.It’s like a job to her. No one knows how many shopping-bagladies there are in New York. The figure is going up. Somepriests, nuns and researchers spend a great deal of time shepherding or observing shopping-bag ladies and are doing whatthey can to better the life of the lady hermits who are down.

大学英语精读第3册第4课课文翻译及课后答案A sportswriter thinks he's met another crank. Instead, he finds a true winner.一位体育专栏作家以为他碰上了一个怪人。

结果他却发现了一个真正的赢家。

A Fan's NotesBill PlaschkeThe e-mail was in some respects similar to other nasty letters I receive. It took me to task for my comments on the Los Angeles Dodgers and argued that I had got everything wrong. However, the note was different from the others in at least two ways.一位球迷的评论比尔·普拉施基这封电子邮件在某些方面与我收到的其他刻薄的信件相似。

它痛斥我对洛杉矶道奇队的评论，并争辩说我把一切全都搞错了。

然而，这个评论与其他的评论至少有两个方面不同。

This note contained more details than the usual "You're an idiot." It included vital statistics on the team's performance. It was written by someone who knew the Los Angeles Dodgers as well as I thought I did.与通常那些“你是个白痴”的评论不同的是，这一评论含有更多的细节。

它包含了该队比赛表现的关键数据。

写这篇评论的人对洛杉矶道奇队的了解绝不亚于我自认为对它的了解。
