U13A Simple Truth About Happiness关于快乐的简单真相If you're waiting for it,you've missed the point如果你正在等待快乐，那么你将错失良机Each of us owes it to our spouses, our children, our friends to be as happy as we can be. Anyone can be unhappy; it takes no courage or effort. True achievement lies in struggling to be happy.我们每个人为了让我们的配偶、孩子、朋友快乐，都要尽可能的做到快乐。

任何人都可以感到不快乐，那不需要任何勇气和努力。

但是努力寻找快乐才是一个人真正的成就。

The concept that we have to work at happiness comes as news to many people. We assume it's a feeling that comes as a result of good things that just happen to us, things over which we have little or no control.致力于寻找快乐对许多人来说是一个全新的观念。

我们通常认为快乐是伴随着某些美好的事物而来的，这些事物是我们碰巧碰到的，而不是我们可以掌控的。

But the opposite is true: happiness is largely under our control. It is a battle to be waged and not a feeling to be awaited.但是，事实却相反，快乐完全在我们的掌控之中。

Reading ComprehensionThere are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should read them carefully and decide on the best answer, then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage 1If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mentalabilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.to the passage, man's intelligence __c. changes with the seasons_______.the same through the year from day to daywith the seasons from year to yearHuntington decided that climate and temperature have ___ B. some effect on most people's intelligence ______.A. a great effect on everyone's intelligenceB. some effect on most people's intelligenceC. some effect on a few people's intelligenceD. no effect on most people's intelligenceHuntington's conclusion was based on __results of research done by himself and other scientists among peoples in different .A.variations of his own mental abilities fromseason to seasonB.the results of research done by himself andother scientists among peoples in differentclimates.C.detailed records of temperature changes indifferent placesD.detailed records of different ways of thinkingamong peoples in different climatesdoes the author say summer is a good time to take a long vocation from thinking?B．Because people tend to be less creative during summerA.Because a long vocation in summer helps toimprove people's mental power.B.Because people tend to be less creative duringsummer.C.Because summer is a good time for outdooractivities.D.Because mental exertion in the summer heattaxes too much of people's energy.central idea of this passage is __ A. man's mental abilities change from season to season_____.A.man's mental abilities change from season toseasonB.man's intelligence varies from place to placeC.man should take a long vacation in summerD.if you want to do creative thinking, go to acool placePassage 2When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood ---- all of them too young to walk ---- and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a verylucrative occupation.My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lesson did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes, I asked him why, and when he replied "Because it is beautiful," I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled. I believed that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.her mother came home one day, the narrator of the story __A. was teaching half a dozen babies to dance __.A.was teaching half a dozen babies to danceB.was teaching half a dozen babies to walkC.was collecting babies of the neighborhoodD.was making babies of the neighborhood sitbefore her on the floorattitude of the narrator's mother toward her school of dance was one of _ C. support .A. despiseB. contemptC.support D. indifferencenarrator thought that ballet was ____B. stiff, ugly and unnatural ______.A. the most graceful danceB. stiff, ugly and unnaturalC. a dance that she had dreamed ofD. an invisible world into which she guessed shemight enterto the narrator, she owed her success in art to __ support of her understanding and adventurous mother .A.the good education her parents gave herB.the support of her understanding andadventurous motherC.her inborn talentD.her ballet teachercentral idea of the passage is that ___A. parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it while they are young ____.A.parents should try to discover the natural gift intheir children and help to develop it while theyare youngB.the so-called good education parents give theirchildren only drives them into thecommonplace and deprives them of any chanceof doing anything originalC.mothers should be heroic and adventurousD.ballet is no good as a form of dancePassage 3Is vitamin E a cure for baldnessWill it cure acne（痤疮）Can it relieve the pain of arthritis or prevent ulcers These are only a few of the uses some people claim for vitamin E,but for many years no scientific proof has been possible for any of these claims.Vitamin E is not a rare substance by any means; it is present in vegetable oils and in grains,but in most diets the main source of vitamin E is leafy vegetables. Some vitamin E is lost in the cooking process, but not a really significant amount; a good balanced diet will, according to critics of “vitamin medicine”, supply all the vitamin E anyone needs.In animals, shortage of vitamin E causes sudden and obvious changes. Chickens deprived of vitamin E develop muscular weakness. Calves whose diets contain inadequate amounts of vitamin E develop heart disease. Rats who are deprived of vitamin E develop liver degeneration. Nor do they grow as quickly as healthy rats.But in humans, with one exception, there are no symptoms of any kind associated with a vitamin E deficiency. Premature infants who lack proper amounts of vitamin E sometimes develop anemia（贫血）or skin rashes, but any symptoms caused by this deficiency in adult humans are either too insignificant to appear in normal tests or are simply nonexistent. A study in Elgin, Illinois, followed subjects maintained on low vitamin E diets for six years and could discover no effects of the diet on the subjects at all.Some studies, such as a study performed by three Canadian doctors in the late 1940s, have found vitamin E helpful in treating specific diseases, such as angina pectoris, a type of heart disease. But other studies have tried to duplicate these findings and failed. So there is no absolutely undeniable evidence that vitamin E will prevent or cure disease.Claims for the cosmetic use of vitamin E continue to multiply, however. Creams and ointments containing vitamin E appear on the market almost daily, to help remove skin blemishes（瑕疵）, to soften dry skin, to control skin wrinkles. Vitamin E is even used in deodorants（除臭剂）. Vitamin E itself is a preservative, an antioxidant, so the producers’ thinking is that vitamin E will prevent odor by preventing bacteria from oxidizing perspiration. But no study or medical proof ever appeared to prove any of these cosmetic claims completely.You can add vitamin E pills to your morning routine if you like, but unfortunately no one has ever been able to demonstrate conclusively any reason why you should.1. The main idea of this passage is that _ C. most of the medical and cosmetic claims about vitamin E are not supported by research ____.A.taken as a preventive measure againstdisease, vitamin E can be harmfulB.although vitamin E has not been provedeffective in fighting disease, it does havesome cosmetic valueC.most of the medical and cosmetic claimsabout vitamin E are not supported byresearchD.advertisements are attempting to misleadthe public with their claims about vitamin 2. In animals, vitamin E deficiency is associatedwith all of the following disorders except _ B.diabetes___.A. heart diseaseB. diabetesC. liverdegeneration D. muscular weakness3. Which of the following conclusions is NOT supported by the passage? C. Vitamin E is more useful cosmetically than medicallyA.Vitamin E deficiency is less harmful tohumans than to other animal.B.Vitamin E may be helpful in treatingangina pectoris.C.Vitamin E is more useful cosmetically thanmedically.D.Vitamin E is fairly abundant in a balanceddiet.4. The passage suggests that _ B. the public regards vitamin E as a wonder drug____.A.little research has been done to protectconsumersB.the public regards vitamin E as a wonderdrugC.advertising is basically a business ofdeceptionD.some research that has been reported hasbeen proved false5. As used in this passage, the word “degeneration” means __ B. deterioration ____.A. ailmentB. deteriorationC. devianceD. maturationPassage 4A summary of the physical and chemical nature of life must begin, not on the Earth, but in the Sun; in fact, at the Sun’s very center. It is here that is to be found the source of the energy that the Sun constantly pours out into space as light and heat. This energy is liberated at the center of the Sun as billions upon billions of nuclei of hydrogen atoms collide with each other and fuse together to form nuclei of helium, and, in doing so, release some of the energy that is stored in the nuclei of atoms. The output of light and heat of the Sun requires that some 600 million tons of hydrogen be converted into helium in the Sun every second. This the Sun has been doing for several thousands of millions of years.The nuclear energy is released at the Sun’s center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only very much shorter wavelength. This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun, to be remitted at slightly longer wavelengths. This radiation, in its turn, is absorbed and remitted. As the energy filters through the layers of the solar interior, it passes through the X-ray part of the spectrum, eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we can do to the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms. A very small fraction of the Sun’s light and heat is emitted in such directions that, after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the Earth. (268 words) does the passage mainly discuss?production of solar light and heat. physical and chemical nature of life.conversion of hydrogen to helium. in the X-ray part of the spectrum.to the passage, energy is released in the Sun when_____.atoms bind with each other. radiation escapes from the spectrum.is absorbed by helium. of hydrogen atoms collide.passage indicates that, in comparison to radio waves, gamma wave_____.A. are not as long.B. producelouder sound.C. are less magnetic.D. do notform in the Sun’s centre.to the passage, through which of the following is the energy released in the Sun pass before it becomes light?A. Electromagnetic space.B. Thesolar surface.C. The X-ray part of the spectrum.D.Interplanetary space.can be inferred from the passage that the Sun’s light travels _____.solid objects in space. many different directions.。

Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?""Certainly," said Mr. Turner.

FPassage 2Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial.

These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhapsthe climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world.

What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important foryoung children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "You are sucha smart child."1.

The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to V ersailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales（称）. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.“What’s wrong with this girl?”He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag o n thecounter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year.

Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Y oung people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Y oung people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.1. What is soap opera?A. Plays based on science fiction stories.B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.D. Popular documentary films on TV.2. What can be the best title of the passage?A. College student viewers.B.

Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B. Y oung people of sixties like soap operas more than people today.C. Y oung viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.5.

It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, 1 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 2 stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us 3 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affectus. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves.

At that time, zoos were places 1 people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made 2 concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean. Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. 3 the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats.

Author: Russell Baker▪Born in V irginia in 1925▪In charge of "The Observer" column for the New Y ork Times from 1962 to 1998.▪Won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1979 for distinguished commentary as a columnist▪Received his second Pulitzer Prize in 1983 for his autobiography Growing up▪Regarded as one of America's leading wordsmiths and humorists2. R ussell Baker’s main works▪Growing up▪Russell Baker’s book of American Humor▪Fear and Loathing in George W. Bush’s W ashington▪Poor Russell Almanac(The text is extracted from the first chapter of Growing Up.)3. Russell Baker’s memoir Growing upThis book traces his youth in the mountains of rural Virginia. When Baker was only five, his father died. His mother, strong-willed and matriarchal, never looked back. These were depression years, and Mrs. Baker moved her family to Baltimore. Baker's mother was determined her children would succeed, and her unfailing faith in the talents of her young son was not misplaced. He did everything from delivering papers to hustling subscriptions for the Saturday Evening Post. As is often the case, early hardships make the man.4. Popularity of the book—reviews from the book reviewers and readers▪This is a wondrous book, funny, sad, and strong… as funny and touching as Mark Twain's.----Mary Lee Settle of the Los Angeles Times Book Review ▪This is an iconic and magical piece of literature, a story of courage and love, of the bonds of family in spite of tension and disagreement.-----One reader ▪Growing Up is carefully crafted by this experienced writer. The many characters come to vivid life with all their virtues and foibles(小缺点), and Baker's narrative flows smoothly from beginning to end.-----One reader 5. Quotations of the author▪The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize you as a tourist.▪In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself, confessing to be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's beloved.▪An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious—just dead wrong.6. The Great Depression（The Great Depression is what we refer to the global economic recession between 1929 to 1933 ,which ,especially in the US, is usually identified with the stock market crash of 1929.during that time ,some towns in the U. S. , Canada and Germany even introduced their own scrip during the Great Depression. and the societies are full of sorrows.）One of the most critical economic periods in the United States history was the Great Depression. A majority of the U.S. citizens did not know much about the Depression. The only information that they knew was what they read from textbooks. Many citizens never really had to face the hardship like others were forced to face. Growing Up by Russell Baker is an autobiography on the problems he and his family endured during this era.Causes of the Great Depression:▪Speculation in the 1920s caused many people to buy stocks with loaned money. The stock market boom was very unsteady, because it was based on borrowed money and false optimism.▪Politicians believed that business was the key business of America.

Text appreciation：1. Theme of the storyIt is the responsibility of both parents and children to bridge the generation gap. On the one hand, young people should have more interest and respect of what their parents stand for. On the other hand, old people should show under standing to young people’s great interest in the future.2. Structure of the textPart 1 (1-45) about: Understanding of a mother from a son’s point of view Part 2 (.46-53 ) about: Understanding of children from a father’s point of view Part 3 (54--55 ) about: Meeting of the two views3. T ext Analysis（1）What was the character of the mother when she was young?（Scan the text and list out the related information.）（2）Question: What values do you think were reflected in the mother’s way of life when she was young?The mother was always on the run and working hard because she believed that hard working is the necessary part of one’s life. Life was a struggle, a fight, a battle for survival, for salvation, and for the glory of God. Only by hard working can one be successful in the end. Those who were lazy, timid, loitering and afraid to tell others the true feelings were losers of the life.（3）How did the author react to his mother’s senility from a son’s point of view?I could not accept the inevitable.I soon stopped trying to argue her back to what I（4）Question: What made the author change his reaction to his mother’s senility?At the beginning, he tried to argue his mother back to reality from his point of view because he believed that his mother being a normal person would be better for her and her family. But later when he began to look at it from his mother’s point of view, he understood his mother was much happier when she could travel back to her childhood when she was loved and needed. So he would like to travel along with her into her past and understood his mother more.（5）How did the author understand the relationship with his childrenI had developed the habit of lecturing them onBetween us there was a dispute about time. (6) Question: What does the author mean by “a dispute about time”?(53)It is one of the reasons why there is generation gap between parents and children. The parents always like to talk about their past to the children because that was once their “future” they dreamed of and struggled for. But for the children, they are indifferent to the parents’ “future” because it is past for them. They are now dreaming for their future. This is the dispute of time.Further questions on appreciationWhat happened to the author’s mother at the age of 80? What became of her after her “last” fall?What exactly is the problem with his mother?What kind of a woman was the author’s mother when she was young?Was she happy when she was yo ung? Is she happy now? What are her main complaints?Does the author feel that he has been a good son?What do you think he is trying to say when he hopes that he can step into his mother’s time machine?How does the author understand the generation gap? W hat’s his advice to the younger generation?V. Writing Devices1. Parallelism and RepetitionShe ran after chickens, … She ran when she made the beds, ran when she set the table. … she ran. (15)Repetition: ran…ran…ran…ranParallelism : She ran when she…ran when she…Repetition is a major rhetorical strategy for producing emphasis, clarity, amplification, or emotional effect.Parallelism: more examples1.Words and phrases•Not Parallel: The teacher said that he was a poor student because he wait ed until the last minute to study for the exam, complet ed his lab problems in a careless manner, and his motivation was low.•Parallel: The teacher said that he was a poor student because he wait ed until the last minute to study for the exam, complet ed his lab problems in a careless manner, and lack ed motivation.2. clauses•Not Parallel: The salesman expected that he would present his product at the meeting, that there would be time for him to show his slide presentation, and that questions would be asked by prospective buyers (passive).•Parallel: The salesman expected that he would present his product at the meeting, that there would be time for him to show his slide presentation, and that prospective buyers would ask him questions. 3.

Grammar1. preposition + which/whomThe type of relative clause in which the relative pronoun “which” and “whom” is preceded by a preposition is chiefly used in formal, especially technical or legal writing.In informal, especially spoken English, this structure should be avoided, and the relative pronoun is often omitted.Examples:It was an awkward question with which to beawakened. (formal)There’s some limit nobody should go beyond.(informal)2. preposition+ wh-wordNoun clauses introduced by wh-words are often used after prepositions. Such clauses are common in both informal and formal English.

北语13秋大学英语三导学资料三(英译汉和写作)

北语13秋《大学英语三》导学资料三英译汉和写作一、本阶段学习内容概述各位同学，大家好，现在进入我们的第三阶段的学习，根据课件，这一阶段我们要学习英译汉和写作这两部分的内容，大家要先根据课件的讲解详细地学习，然后再把课件中的自测练习题完成下，下面我们来着重地强调下这部分的重难点内容。

二、重难点讲解对英译汉技巧的探讨要真正掌握英译汉的技巧并非易事。

这是因为英译汉时会遇到各种各样的困难；首先是英文理解难，这是学习、使用英文的人的共同感觉，由于两国历史、文化、风俗习惯的不同，所以一句英文在英美人看来顺理成章，而在中国人看来却是颠颠倒倒、断断续续，极为别扭。

二是中文表达难，英译汉有时为了要找到一个合适的对等词汇，往往被弄得头昏眼花，好象在脑子里摸一个急于要开箱子的钥匙，却没有。

另外，英译汉时对掌握各种文化知识的要求很高，因为我们所翻译的文章，其内容可能涉及到极为广博的知识领域，而这些知识领域多半是我们不大熟悉的外国的事情，如果不具备相应的文化知识难免不出现一些翻译中的差错或笑话。

正是因为英译汉时会遇到这么多的困难，所以，我们必须通过翻译实践，对英汉两种不同语言的特点加以对比、概况和总结，以找出一般的表达规律来，避免出现一些不该出现的翻译错误，而这些表达的规律就是我们所说的翻译技巧。

一、词义的选择和引伸技巧英汉两种语言都有一词多类和一词多义的现象。

一词多类就是指一个词往往属于几个词类，具有几个不同的意义；一词多义就是同一个词在同一词类中又往往有几个不同的词义。

在英译汉的过程中，我们在弄清原句结构后，就要善于运用选择和确定原句中关键词词义的技巧，以使所译语句自然流畅，完全符合汉语习惯的说法；选择确定词义通常可以从两方面着手：1、根据词在句中的词类来选择和确定词义They are as like as two peas .他们相似极了。

（形容词）He likes mathematics more than physics .他喜欢数学甚于喜欢物理。

（追求）3. The doctors are at a loss because so far no medicine has been found to inhibit the spread of the disease.由于目前还没有发现任何能抑制这种疾病传播的药物，医生们都不知所措。

（阻碍，抑制）4. We see many special education directors trying to maintain the quality of their programs with much less money and much smaller staff.我们看到许多特殊教育主管试图用更少的钱和更少的员工来维持他们项目的质量。

（保持，维持）5. People there are told it is their patriotic duty to support the national economy by buying their own products.人们被告知，通过购买自己的产品来支持国民经济是他们的爱国义务。

（爱国的）6. Darwin's thinking both drew upon and transcended transcended the conventional ideas of his time.达尔文的思想既吸引了他，也超越了他那个时代的传统观念。

大学英语三13秋辅导

2013下半年大英3考前辅导Passage 1 CCDACToday a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him. He can not see enough to be safe. Flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him.On a screen in front of the pilot, there will be a map of the airspace around the plane. The pilot’s own flight level or height and his own plane at the centre of the screen will show up. On the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs （点状）of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. The flightwatch map is unusual, for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges （范围）, but at their distance away in flying time. That gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds and slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that there’s no chance of contact for, say, ten minutes.The pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another plane’s course conflicts with his own. The screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he can contact air traffic control and ask them about the other plane’s course, then he can take avoiding action if necessary. The screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger from yet another aircraft.Technically, the system will be quite complex. Computers will be necessary on the ground and in each aircraft to enable flightwatch to collect data about the planes’ courses and to calculate the distances between planes. But such small computers are now quite cheap, simple and reliable.CCDAC1. A pilot is dependent on _______ for his safe flight.A. flightwatchB. the air traffic controller in the planeC. the command of the air controller on the groundD. the pilot himself2. __________ can help the pilot to keep contact with the air traffic controller.A. a computerB. the screenC. flightwatchD. the passage dosen’t mention it3. The flightwatch is _________ to use.A. quite simpleB. quite complexC. expensiveD. not mentioned4. the main components of the flightwatch are __________.A. a screen and certain computersB. computersC. a flightwatch map and small computersD. blobs and tails5. The computers are _________.A. largeB. neither large nor smallC. smallD. not mentionedPassage 2DCDDDFor most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foodsfrom the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a ‘bachelor’ apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation. But all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage.DCDDD6. In the U.S. , families are becoming _____.A. biggerB. smallerC. easierD. freer7. Why are women able to achieve economic independence? _______A. Because they have their own salary.B. Because convenience foods are available.C. Because they are free away from drudgery.D. Because they attending college.8. Hard housework was taken away by ______.A. liberated womenB. retired parentsC. supermarketsD. modern equipment9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text? _______.A. Women’s liberation has made it possible for them to study.B. Comfortable life adversely influences marriage in America.C. Adults can go wherever they want.D. Women prefer to be bachelors.10. The text implies that the author _____.A. highly praises the liberation of womenB. heartily enjoys this freedom and affluenceC. strongly recommends such kind of social lifeD. greatly worries about the bond of marriagePassage 3 CACA 第5题选C或者D都可以Ever since I was very small, I have had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing I was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London.But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar （沙皇）with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, somewhere else. Ilived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and whom I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child---on airplanes and trains. And the irony is that I don’t care fir it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home. CACA 第5题选C或者D都可以11. What did the writer do as a curious child? _______A. She visited Victorian England and Tsarist Russia.B. She flew to Los Angeles, Chicago and London with her parents.C. She read all kinds of books.D. She spent lots of time traveling on trains.12. How does the author feel about travel today? _______A. She doesn’t like it very much.B. She takes great pleasure in it.C. She feels tired of it.D. She feels as excited as when she was young.13. What did the author learn from books as a child? ______A . About many foreign places.B. About many historical figures.C. About the outside world as well as her own self.D.

The objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. There are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology. But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programs. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music recitals, art lessons, and other attractions.Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of playing them. All museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and private collectors or at auction sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests（遗物）, but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museums exhibits can teach us about theworld in which we live-----the materials it is made of, the trees and plants that cover it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man-----hi**ory and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.ACBCD1.

These cars will float along never touching the ground, and therefore will have no need for wheels.Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans.The car without wheels has been called a “flying car”, and, in a sense, that’s just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly rough road and even over smooth water.The inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, and vehicle regulation. CCABB6. The author believes that cars of the future_____A. will be replaced by airplanesB. will have wheels unlike those of todayC. will use columns of air instead of wheelsD. will use wheels without tires7.

Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either.

Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning. Others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world. Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page.

Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed in deed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accompli**h it far more than what you are capable of.ACBCD6.

Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under anartificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.BC ( )DB 第三题没有答案11.
