Unit3 Oslpremember on my first trip to Europe going alone to a movie in Copenhagen. In Denmark you are given a ticket for an assigned seat. I went into the cinema and discovered that my ticket directed me to sit beside the only other people in the place,a young couple locked in the sort of passionate embrace associated with dockside reunions at the end of long wars. I could no more have sat beside them than I could have asked to join in-it would have come to much the same thing- so I took a place a few discreet seats away.1记得我第一次去欧洲旅行的时候，我在哥本哈根独自一人去看电影。

在丹麦，电影票是对号入座的。

(此文来自袁勇兵博客)我走进电影院，发现在我的票对应的座位旁，只有一对年轻情侣。

这对情侣如胶似漆地拥抱在一起，如同一场持久战争结束后码头上亲人的团聚。

我很不情愿坐在他们旁边，就如我绝不会要求加入他们的行为一样——这两者对我来说并没有什么不同——因此我谨慎地隔几个座位坐了下来。

2. People came into the cinema, consulted their tickets and filled the seats around us. By the time the film started there were about 30 of us sitting together in a tight pack in the middle of a vast and otherwise empty auditorium. Two minutes into the movie, a woman laden with shopping made her way with difficulty down my row, stopped beside my seat and told me in a stern voice, full of glottal stops and indignation, that I was in her place. This caused much play of flashlights among the usherettes and fretful re-examining of tickets by everyone in the vicinity until word got around that I was an American tourist and therefore unable to follow simple seating instructions and. I was escorted in some shame back to my assigned place. 2人们陆续地走进影院，参照电影票找到位子，在我们周围坐了下来。

追求以公众利益为宗旨的幸福理查德·莱亚德在过去的50年里，我们西方国家的经济获得了史无前例的增长。

我们的家园、车辆、假期、工作、教育，尤其是健康，均得以改善。

依据标准经济理论，这些改善原本应该使我们更加幸福，然而，调查显示并非如此。

英国人和美国人接受幸福程度的调查时说，在过去的50年里，他们的幸福程度并没有得到改善。

抑郁症患者人数上升，同时犯罪率大幅增长也说明了人们对生活的不满足。

上述事实对我们个人以及社会优先考虑的诸多事情都提出了挑战。

事实上，我们现在的处境是人类从未经历过的。

当大多数人还在为温饱发愁时，物质条件的改善的确能令他们幸福一些。

富庶国家（比如，人均年收入在两万美元以上）的人民比贫穷国家的人民幸福一些；而贫穷国家的人民，如果稍微富裕，也会幸福得多。

然而，物质上的匮乏一旦消除，收入的增加便不如亲情、友情、邻里和睦等人际关系那么重要。

但是，我们在追求更高的收入时牺牲了太多这样的关系，这很危险。

渴望幸福是人类本性的核心。

人人都渴望这样一个社会：人们尽可能地幸福，每个人的幸福同等重要。

这应当是我们这个时代的人生哲学，应当用来指导公共利益的维护准则和每个人的行为，应当逐渐取代无法使我们更加幸福的极端的个人主义。

金钱的确是影响个人幸福的关键因素之一。

但是，金钱本身能使我们最终获得幸福吗？在任何一个社会，富人往往比穷人幸福。

然而，当一个西方国家越来越富有的时候，其人民的幸福程度在总体上并未得到改善。

随着时间的推移，我们的标准和期望随着收入的增加而上升。

盖洛普民意测验每年都向美国人提问：“一个四口之家至少需要多少钱才能在这个国家生活下去？”人们说出的数字上升的幅度与平均收入增加的幅度是一样的。

因为人们总是拿自己的收入和他人的收入以及他们惯于拥有的收入相比较，只有当他们认为和平均水准相比有所上升时才感到幸福。

这一过程反而达不到预期的目的。

我努力工作、赚更多钱的动力是：这会使我更幸福一些。

其他的社会成员也同样如此，他们也关注自己相对的生活标准。

A Brief Introduction of American cultureThe main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals' value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is individualism: self first, personal need first, pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense intheir hearts to praise success and heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Success is the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that one's personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The process and result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunnyland, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public education, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dreamof changing their social class and make their lifetime dreamcome true through their own efforts. This is what they often called "American dream".IX. Famous Universities in AmericaHarvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, whose history, influence and wealth have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world.Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university in Princeton, New Jersey, United States.Princeton has been associated with 35 Nobel laureates, 17 National Medal of Science winners, 2 Abel Prize winners, 5 Fields Medalists, and 3 National Humanities Medal recipients.Yale University is a private Ivy League research university located in New Haven, Connecticut. Fifty-one Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the University as students, faculty, or staff. Yale has graduated many notable alumni, including five U.S. Presidents, 19 U.S. Supreme Court Justices, and many foreign heads of state.X. A Nation of ImmigrantsA look at the history of the United States indicates that this country has often been called “a melting pot”, where various immigrants and ethnic groups have learned to work together to build a unique nation. Even those “original” Americans, the Indians, probably walked a land bridge from Asia to North America some thousands of years ago. So, who are the real Americans? The answer is that any and all of them are! And you, no matter where you come from, could also become an Americ an should you want to. Then you would become another addition to America’s wonderfully rich “nation of immigrants”.The United States is currently shifting from being a nation of immigrants of mainly European descent to one of immigrants from other parts of the world, such as Asia and Latin America. The number of recent immigrants has increased rapidly. They desire to escape economic hardship and political oppression in their native countries as well as the desire to seek a better education and a more prosp erous life in America, “the land of opportunity”. Although there are frequent conflictsbetween the cultures they have brought with them from the “old country” and those found in America, most immigrants learn to adjust to and love their adopted land.For immigrants from all parts of the world, the United States has been a “melting pot” in which the foreigners have sometimes remained culturally and linguistically what they were in their native lands even as they move towards becoming citizens of the United States, a country whose people share a common cultural outlook and a set of values. All recollections of another way of life in another place are not melt away in the “melting pot” --- nor should it. On the contrary, immigrants should maintain the languages, skills, religions, customs and arts of their own heritage, even while they are working towards entering the mainstream of American culture.XI. Thanks GivingThe American Thanksgiving holiday began as a feast of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.In 1620, a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World. This religious group had begun to question the beliefs of the Church of England and they wanted to separate from it. The Pilgrims settled in what is now the state of Massachusetts. Their first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow many crops, and without fresh food, half the colony died from disease. The following spring the Iroquois Indians taught them how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists. They showed them other crops to grow in the unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish.In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn, barley, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was planned. They invited the local Indian chief and 90 Indians. The Indians brought deer to roast with the turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists. The colonists had learned how to cook cranberries and different kinds of corn and squash dishes from the Indians. To this first Thanksgiving, the Indians had even brought popcorn.In following years, many of the original colonists celebrated the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks.After the United States became an independent country, Congress recommended one yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate. George Washington suggested the date November 26 as Thanksgiving Day. Then in 1863, at the end of a long and bloody civil war, Abraham Lincoln asked all Americans to set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving.Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, a different date every year. The President must proclaim that date as the official celebration.Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative. All give thanks together for the good things that they have.In this spirit of sharing, civic groups and charitable organizations offer a traditional meal to those in need, particularly the homeless. On most tables throughout the United States, foods eaten at the first thanksgiving have become traditional.Turkey, corn, pumpkins and cranberry sauce are symbols which represent the first Thanksgiving. Now all of these symbols are drawn on holiday decorations and greeting cards. The use of corn meant the survival of the colonies. "Indian corn" as a table or door decoration represents the harvest and the fall season.Sweet-sour cranberry sauce, or cranberry jelly, was on the first Thanksgiving table and is still served today. The cranberry is a small, sour berry. It grows in bogs, or muddy areas, in Massachusetts and other New England states. The Indians used the fruit to treat infections. They used the juice to dye their rugs and blankets. They taught the colonists how to cook the berries with sweetener）and water to make a sauce. The Indians called it "ibimi" which means "bitter berry." When the colonists saw it, they named it "crane-berry" because the flowers of the berry bent the stalk over, and it resembled the long-necked bird called a crane. The berries are still grown in New England.In 1988, a Thanksgiving ceremony of a different kind took place at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. More than four thousand people gathered on Thanksgiving night. Among them were Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country and descendants of people whose ancestors had migrated to the New World.The ceremony was a public acknowledgment of the Indians' role in the first Thanksgiving 350 years ago. Until recently most schoolchildren believed that the Pilgrims cooked the entire Thanksgiving feast, and offered it to the Indians. In fact, the feast was planned to thank the Indians for teaching them how to cook those foods. Without the Indians, the first settlers would not have survived.Questions for DiscussionHave you been in touch with American culture before?(1)Do you think American culture is a shock for Chinese culture?(2)Do you think it is attractive?(3)Which side do you be in touch with most ?(4)How do you usually be in touch with it ?(5)Every culture has advantages and disadvantages .

UNIT 31. Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are that Americans live by. They have never given the matter much thought.2. Even if Americans had considered this question, they would probably, in the end, decide not to answer in terms of a definitive list of values. The reason for this decision is itself one very American value —their belief that every individual is so unique that the same list of values could never be applied to all, or even most, of their fellow citizens.3. Although Americans may think of themselves as being more varied and unpredictable than they actually are, it is significant that they think they are. Americans tend to think they have been only slightly influenced by family, church or schools. In the end, each believes, “I personally chose which values I want to live my own life by.”4. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States that surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed here.5. Before proceeding to the list itself, we should also point out that Americans see all of these values as very positive ones. They are not aware, for example, that the people in many Third World countries view some of these values as negative or threatening.In fact, all of these American values are judged by many of the world’s citizens as negative and undesirable. Therefore, it is not enough simply to familiarize yourself with these values. You must also, so far as possible, consider them without the negative or derogatory connotation that they might have for you, based on your own experience and cultural identity.Personal Control over the Environment6. Americans no longer believe in the power of Fate, and they have come to look at people who do as being backward, primitive, or hopelessly naive. To be called “fatalistic” is one of the worst criticisms one can receive in the American context; to an American, it means one is superstitious and lazy, unwilling to take any initiative in bringing about improvement.7. In the United States, people consider it normal and right that Man should control Nature, rather than the other way around. More specifically, people believe every single individual should have control over whatever in the environment might potentially affect him or her. 1.大多数美国人在谈起其赖以生存的价值观时会感到力不从心。

国概下册课文翻译Unit 3

Unit 3 American Beginnings (早期的美国)美国人是什么样的人？这已经成为不仅仅是访美的外国人，更是美国人常常问自己的一个经典问题。

当美国人感到困惑，或者当他们处在危机时，他们想知道他们是谁，并试图去发现作为美国人意味着什么。

事实上，这个著名的问题，首先是由18世纪移居到宾夕法尼亚州的一个称为赫勒托﹒圣约翰﹒德克雷夫科尔的法国人提出来的。

在1782年，这个法国农民在伦敦出版了《美国农人书简》一书。

在书中，他提出了这个有关美国民族性的问题，并进行了回答：“那么，美国人是什么样的人，这个新人类？他们要么是欧洲人，要么是欧洲人的后裔，因此，你在其他国家是见不到那种多民族混血的奇怪现象的。

我可以给你举个例子。

譬如说，在一个家庭里，祖父是英国人，他的妻子是一位荷兰人，他的儿子娶了一位法国女郎，而现在他的4个孙子的妻子来自4个不同的国家。

美国人是这样的人：他们摒弃了所有古老的偏见和习俗，而从他们所热爱的新生活方式、他们所依附的新政府、他们享有的新地位中接受新的一套。

……在这里，来自各个民族的人熔成了一个新的民族，他们的劳动和子孙后代将来会给世界带来巨大变化。

……美国人是一种新人，他们按新的原则办事，他们因此必须吸收新的思想，形成新的见解。

……这就是美国人。

”根据德克雷夫科尔，在那些日子里，有着欧洲人或者欧洲后裔血统的美国人，并没有考虑和其他民族混血，如美洲印第安人和黑人。

但现在，美国人的情况呈现出更为复杂的一面。

在美国家庭中，女婿或者儿媳有可能是欧洲后裔，或非裔美国人，或亚裔移民，而这些白人混血家庭与其他黑人或亚洲人混血的情况并不多见。

为了了解美国，让我们回到美国的过去吧。

一个新大陆美洲大陆最早的居住者，是两个长期持续的人口迁移运动产生的结果。

第一个来自亚洲，另外一个来自欧洲和非洲。

第一个人口向美洲迁移的运动大约始于25 000年前。

当时在西伯利亚的部族为了寻找新的狩猎区或逃避追赶的敌人越过白令海峡，到达阿拉斯加。

UNIT 31. Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are that Americans live by. They have never given the matter much thought.2. Even if Americans had considered this question, they would probably, in the end, decide not to answer in terms of a definitive list of values. The reason for this decision is itself one very American value — their belief that every individual is so unique that the same list of values could never be applied to all, or even most, of their fellow citizens.3. Although Americans may think of themselves as being more varied and unpredictable than they actually are, it is significant that they think they are. Americans tend to think they have been only slightly influenced by family, church or schools. In the end, each believes, “I personally chose which values I want to live my own life by.”4. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States that surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed here.5. Before proceeding to the list itself, we should also point out that Americans see all of these values as very positive ones. They are not aware, for example, that the people in many Third World countries view some of these values as negative or threatening.In fact, all of these American values are judged by many of the world’s citizens as negative and undesirable. Therefore, it is not enough simply to familiarize yourself with these values. You must also, so far as possible, consider them without the negative or derogatory connotation that they might have for you, based on your own experience and cultural identity.Personal Control over the Environment6. Americans no longer believe in the power of Fate, and they have come to look at people who do as being backward, primitive, or hopelessly naive. To be called “fatalistic” is one of the worst criticisms one can receive in the American context; to an American, it means one is superstitious and lazy, unwilling to take any initiative in bringing about improvement.7. In the United States, people consider it normal and right that Man should control Nature, rather than the other way around. More specifically, people believe every single individual should have control over whatever in the environment might potentially affect him or her. 1.大多数美国人在谈起其赖以生存的价值观时会感到力不从心。

Use some basic reading skills to read through the text again to find the answers to the following questions(20 minutes)1. Under what circumstances will the statement “If the Japan had stayed poor, America would have become even richer” be true?2. Why couldn’t the Olympic metaphor be applied to world trade？3. How did Japanese get wealthier than Americans between 1960 and the beginning ofthe 1990s? Was it because they lost World War II and could start from scratch with all the newest technologies?4. In Dave’ s opinion, what was the secret of Japanese success between 1960 and the beginning of the 1990s?5.What does the example of “Honda and Sony” tell us?6. What does “resource” refer to ?

What would be the results of America’s import of Japanese television?10. What’s Dave’s purpose of comparing Americans losing jobs after the import of Japanese televisions with doctors losing jobs after the disappearance of all diseases?d. Check the answers to the questions (30 minutes)1.Under what circumstances will the statement “If the Japan had stayed poor, America would have become even richer” be true?A: (L8) Only if there was a fixed amount of wealth in the world and the nations of the world tussled over it.2. Why couldn’t the Olympic metaphor be applied to world trade？A: Because world trade can be win-win while the Olympic Games are win-lose. Evidence: (L9)The Olympic metaphor is misleading. If Japan wins the gold medal in television production, America has somehow lost. In fact, Japan’s expertise and success frees up resources for America to specialize in other areas. Both countries are then better off.3. How did Japanese get wealthier than Americans between 1960 and the beginning of the 1990s? Was it because they lost World War II and could start from scratch with all the newest technologies?A: (L15) Hardly. How could it ever be a good idea to let somebody destroy your factory? If new technologies are superior to old, you can always junk your old factory and adopt the new technology.4. In Dave’ s opinion, what was the secret of Japanese success between 1960 and the beginning of the 1990s?A: There was no secret. The road to wealth for a nation is quite simple. Use your resources wisely.Evidence: (L20-23) Some said it was the unique partnership between Japanese industry and its government. Japan had a government agency called MITI - the Ministry of International Trade and Industry - that many people credited with creating the Japanese miracle.5.What does the example of “Honda and Sony” tell us?A: (L25-28) MITI did back some winners with government funding and assistance. They also picked some losers. They tried to discourage Honda from going into automobile and hampered Sony’s activities in electronics. Honda and Sony were eventually great successes.(L28-30) I believe that MITI’s role was not critical to Japan’s success. Japan also had great economic success in times when MITI did not exist or was insignificant.6. What does “resource” refer to ? How can we use resources in a wise way?A: (L36) Not fertile land, but the know-how, education, ingenuity, and drive of the people.(L38）Using your resources wisely means giving the people the incentive to work hard, to innovate, and to take risks. How can we use resources in a wise way?7.What does the author try to tell us by giving the example of “corn”?A: The roundabout way to wealth, opportunity Cost of a choice and comparative advantageEvidence: (L51) It looks like growing your own corn is incredibly cheap. ou just have the cost of a little seed. But growing your own corn is in fact incredibly expensive because of the time it takes to weed, water, and fertilize. That time appears to be free, but it is costly. Y ou have lost the opportunity to work at some other activity, earning money , and using that money to buy corn. Or having the time for leisure. If you think of your household as a nation, you import corn. Y ou produce it in the roundabout way just like America produces televisions.8.According to Dave, under what circumstances will farmers plant corns by themselves?A: (L 61) It depends on whether it takes fewer minutes to grow an ear directly, or to earn enough money to buy corn by working at some other job using the roundabout way.9. What would be the results of America’s import of Japanese television?A: TS: (L 68) The television jobs are gone.Supporting evidence:a.Americans would be freed to gain more valuable opportunities.(L 66) Y ou have lost the job of growing corn and gained a more valuable opportunity.b.More American youngsters would focus their attention on jobs in more profitable industries.(L 82) But the biggest change caused by that technology was invisible. The dreams of farmers’ children changed.(L85) Even though their parents and grandparents had been farmers, ... farming was going to be less profitable than it had been. They made plans to become salesmen, engineers, chemists and pilots.c. The overall number of jobs increased tremendously.(L66) But they have been replaced by others.(L88)But jobs didn’t disappear...People took different types of jobs.(L90) Some even went into a new industry called television.d. Americans would get less expensive televisions.(L104) American gets less expensive food…That is the important change.10. What’s Dave’s purpose of comparing Americans losing jobs after the import of Japanese televisions with doctors losing jobs after the disappearance of all diseases? A:To illustrate that losing the jobs of producing televisions can also make America better off; To justify that imports are good for America, even if they destroy the domestic television industry.Evidence:(L115) Oh come on, Dave. If we could get rid of disease, doctors shouldn’t stand in the way.(L121) But the principle is the same. Would a doctor have a right to force a person to stay sick so the doctor could continue earning the living the doctor was accustomed to? Does a television manufacturer have the right to force a consumer of televisions to pay a higher price to sustain high wages for his workers? ...Certain types of jobs are lost. ...People who would have been doctors would now apply their skills to other activities and enrich our lives. Paradoxically, America would lose the high-paying jobs in health care but still become wealthier.e.

英语国家社会与文化入门(下册)(简称国概)美国重要单元之一UNIT3——AMERICAN BEGINNINGS

Text什么是美国的？这已经成为一个经典的问题不仅是美国访问的外国人，更是美国人常常问自己。

当美国人感到困惑，或者当他们在危机时，他们问他们是谁，并试图找出什么是美国人的手段。

事实上，这个著名的问题时，首先问一个法国人称为J.海克特圣约翰日克雷弗克谁定居在宾夕法尼亚州的18世纪。

在1782年，这个法国农民在伦敦出版了一本书，从美国的农民，他所提出的问题，并回答了自己提出的信：“那么，什么是美国，这个新好男人？他要么是欧洲，或子孙欧洲，因此，随着血液中奇妙的混合在一起，你会发现在没有其他国家。

我可以向你指出，一个家庭，其祖父是英国人，他的妻子是一位荷兰人，他的儿子娶了一位法国妇女，其目前有4个儿子现在4个不同国家的妻子。

他是美国人，谁在他身后留下他的所有古老的偏见和方式，收到他的生活已经接受，他的新政府遵循的新模式新，而新职，他认为。

···在这里个人的所有国家都成为一个男人，他们的劳动力和子孙后代新一轮融化总有一天会导致世界。

···美国是一个新好男人，谁原则的行为后，新的巨大变化，他因此必须招待新的想法，和形式。

· ·新意见·这是一个美国人。

“据克雷弗克，在那些日子里，美国有没有考虑到欧洲人的或其后代混血儿，如美洲印第安人和黑人其他民族。

今天，美国情况较为复杂。

在美国家庭中，有可能是儿子，儿媳或女儿女婿与欧洲后裔或非裔美国人和亚裔移民尽管这些白人混血与其他黑人或亚洲人的家庭占少数。

为了理解这一点，美国，让我们回到美国的过去。

A New Land美国大陆的人居住，作为两个结果长期持续的移民运动，第一个来自亚洲，欧洲和非洲的第二位。

第一乐章开始大概25 000年前，当西伯利亚部落，在新的狩猎区或从追求寻求避难的敌人，在越过白令海峡到达阿拉斯加。

到1492年，超过10-20万人，误称为居住克里斯托弗哥伦布在美洲，印第安人。
