Unit 4(Para. 1) In the last few centuries, marriage has been connected to romantic love. This kind of package deal is not easy to maintain and indeed many people fail while trying to do so. Nevertheless, most people still pursue this deal. This is another type of paradox associated with marriage.在过去的几个世纪里,婚姻总是和浪漫的爱情联系起来。

这一揽子交易可不容易维护,的确,很多人在试图将婚姻和浪漫的爱情结合起来时失败了。

不过,许多人仍然追求婚姻。

这是和婚姻相关的另一种自相矛盾的情况。

package adj. 一揽子的 vt. 打包;将…包装package deal 一揽子交易,一揽子交易中的条款nevertheless adv. 然而,不过;虽然如此 conj. 然而,不过paradox n. 悖论,反论;似非而是的论点;自相矛盾的人或事(Para. 2)Some of the main difficulties of this package deal are the following: (a) in modern society, marriage is no longer unique in fulfilling tasks such as raising children and enhancing one’s status and financial situation,(b) long-term romantic relationships are problematic in that they lack significant changes, which are so meaningful to emotions in general and love in particular, and (c) the greater flexibility of romantic boundaries in modern society make it harder to maintain strict emotional connections and constraints, such as those recommended in marriage.要实现这一揽子交易,有如下几点主要的困难:1. 在现代社会,婚姻已不是实现像抚养孩子,加强个人地位,及改善经济状况等任务的惟一形式。

高级综合商务英语unit4课文翻译

今年 1 月,史蒂夫 ?乔布斯 (Steve Jobs)走上旧金山芳草地艺术中心(Yerba Buena Center)的舞台发布iPad,完成了现代商业史上最引人注目的一次复出。

这不仅仅关乎半年前迫使他退居幕后的疾病。

病魔一度令乔布斯严重消瘦,最终不得不进行肝脏移植手术。

而就在十多年前,几乎所有人认为乔布斯的事业及其共同创立的苹果公司(Apple)已经走上绝路。

硅谷和华尔街都断定,它们已经与科技的未来无缘。

然而,到了今年初,苹果已然重生。

在1 月份的发布会之前,即使是按照乔布斯自己的苛刻标准衡量,外界对苹果的期望程度也是异乎寻常的。

批评者总是用贬抑的口吻谈论乔布斯创造的“现实扭曲场” :他能让观众信服,那些在其他厂商手中似乎尚未成形的技术已经被苹果完美地应用。

为了激起消费者购买他们自己也不知道是否真正需要的电子产品的欲望,打消他们的疑虑极其关键,而乔布斯则早就被公认为这种艺术形式的大师。

这不仅仅关乎半年前迫使他退居幕后的疾病。

病魔一度令乔布斯严重消瘦,最终不得不进行肝脏移植手术。

而就在十多年前,几乎所有人认为乔布斯的事业及其共同创立的苹果公司(Apple)已经走上绝路。

硅谷和华尔街都断定,它们已经与科技的未来无缘。

对于 F?斯科特 ?菲茨杰拉德 (F. Scott Fitzgerald)广为流传的名言(美国人的生命中没有第二幕)而言,没有比这更坚决的反驳了。

乔布斯首次登上报纸头条时,甚至比现在的马克?扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)还要年轻。

早在书呆子备受追捧之前,由于在普及个人电脑(PC)中发挥的关键作用,以及苹果在华尔街的成功上市(当时乔布斯年仅 25 岁),乔布斯就成为了科技界的第一个摇滚明星。

如今,三十年过去了,乔布斯成为了在塑造世纪之交的世界中居功至伟的美国西海岸的几大科技巨头之一。

他的老对手比尔 ?盖茨 (Bill Gates)或许更富有,而且在盖茨的事业巅峰时期,凭借其在 PC 软件领域的垄断,可以说盖茨的影响力比乔布斯更大。

研究生英语综合Unit Four爱和情感联系原文及翻译

研究生英语综合Unit Four爱和情感联系原文及翻译

Unit Four下面的文章选自奈杰尔贝诺克瑞提斯的婚姻与家庭。

此书在美国的一些大学里被用作社会学和妇女研究等课程的教材,它强调了在当代社会和家庭中所发生的重要变化,探索了家庭成员所面临的选择,以及我们很多人都还未意识到的种种约束。

该书还审视了当今美国家庭的多样性,运用跨文化和多元文化的比较,以激发创造性思维来研究21世纪家庭所面临的许多严峻问题。

爱和情感连系奈杰尔·贝诺克瑞提斯1爱,对于人类的生存是不可或缺的。

它既是一种情感,又是一种行为。

家庭通常是我们最早和最重要的爱和情感支持的来源。

众所周知,缺乏爱的婴幼儿会产生各种各样的问题,如抑郁症、头痛、生理残疾、神经质或身心疾病,这些病有时会伴随他们一生。

而对比之下,拥有爱和拥抱的婴儿通常体重增加得快,哭得少,而笑得多。

到了五岁时,他们的智商和语言测试的分数明显比前一类儿童高得多。

1 Love- as both an emotion and a behavior- is essential for human survival- The family is usually our earliest and most important source of love and emotional support. Babies and children deprived of love have been known to develop a wide variety of problems- for example, depression, headaches, physiological impairments, and neurotic and psychosomatic difficulties- that sometimes last a lifetime. In contrast, infants who are loved and cuddled typically gain more weight, cry less, and smile more. By five years of age, they have been found to have significantly higher IQs and to score higher on language tests.2很多研究发现婴儿获得关爱的质量会影响到他们以后的交友,在学校的表现,如何应对陌生的或可能充满压力的情况,以及他们成年后如何建立并且维系情感连系。

7 Translate the paragraphs into Chinese.1 Even grown men who do market research have trouble visualizing what a public relations man does with his day, and it is a safe bet that the average systems analyst is as baffled about what a space salesman does at the shop as the average space salesman is about the tools needed to analyze a system.即使是那些从事市场研究工作的成年人也难很想象公关部的人每天都在做些什么。

一名普通的系统分析师肯定不知道空间推销员在店里都干些什么,就好像空间推销员对分析系统的工具也一窍不通一样。

2 So run the clichés, anyway. But it is only our obsession with novelty, ignorance of deeper historical atterns and arrogant insistence on our own importance that leads us into this kind of talk. Hoping to prove our superiority over the generations that preceded us, we boast that we live in a period of unprecedented change. Yet there is a good case that we do not, in fact, live in very interesting times at all.不管怎么说,这就是那耳熟能详的套话。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2unit4课文详解Text B积极思维的威力:幸福生活的秘诀雷米兹·萨松积极思维就是将有利于成长、发展和成功的想法、话语和图像纳入大脑之中。

积极思维就是期待良好与顺利的结果。

积极思维的头脑期待幸福、愉悦与健康,还有在任何情况与行动中都会有成功的结局。

大脑希望有什么,就能找到什么。

并不是每个人都会接受或相信积极思维的好处。

有些人会认为这样的话题完全是一派胡言,另外的人对相信和接受积极思维的人嗤之以鼻。

而那些熟悉这个话题的人中,知道如何有效地行动而达到理想结果的也不算多。

不过,关注这个话题的人似乎越来越多,相关书籍、讲座和课程越来越多,就是明证。

这个话题已越来越流行。

常听人们对那些情绪低落而焦躁的人说:“想开点!”绝大多数人不把这样的话当回事儿,因为他们不知道这话的真实含义,或者觉得它并不实用。

试问,在你认识的人当中,有多少人曾经停下来思考过积极思维的威力到底意味着什么呢?阿伦申请了一份新工作,但他对自己评价很低,认为自己是个失败者,没有成功的资本,因此肯定自己不可能得到这份工作。

他对自己的想法是消极的,相信其他的应聘者比他好,比他更有资格。

阿伦有这样的想法是因为他之前申请过的工作大多都没有成功,因此会有消极的体验。

面试前的整整一个星期,他的脑子中都充满着关于那份工作的消极想法和恐惧。

他肯定自己不会被录取。

面试那天,他睡过头了,然后惊恐地发现他打算穿的衬衫竟是脏的,而另外一件还要熨烫。

因为已经来不及了,所以他穿着皱巴巴的衬衫就出门了。

面试过程中他很紧张,表现得很消极,顾虑着他的衬衫,再加上没时间吃早餐已经是饥肠辘辘。

所有这一切都让他分心,让他很难把精神集中在面试上。

他的整体表现给面试官留下了极坏的印象,结果他的恐惧就变成了现实,没有得到这份工作。

吉姆也申请了同一份工作,但他对此事的态度截然不同。

他很肯定自己会得到这个工作。

面试前的一个星期里,他经常想象自己给面试官留下好印象,并得到这份工作。

二、课文精解Text A1.Wystan H.Auden:威斯坦·休·奥登(Wystan Hugh Auden,1907—1973年),英裔美国诗人,是继托马斯·艾略特之后最重要的英语诗人。

毕业于牛津大学。

30年代崭露头角,成为新一代诗人代表和左翼青年作家领袖。

1939年移居美国,后入美国籍并皈依基督教。

前期创作多涉及社会和政治题材,后期转向宗教。

以能用从古到今各种诗体写作著称。

代表作有《西班牙》、《新年书信》、《忧虑的时代》等。

2.In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been abolished,whether what a man does has social value depends on whether he is paid money to do it,but a laborer today can rightly be called a wage slave.在一个严格意义上已废除奴隶制的社会里,一个人做的事情是否具有社会价值取决于他是否为完成此项工作得到了报酬。

然而,今天的劳动者可以被称为名副其实的工资奴隶。

句中but连接两个并列分句;in a society引导地点状语,其中where引导定语从句,修饰society;前一个分句的谓语动词是depends on,主语和宾语都是whether 引导的名词性从句。

in the strict sense从严格意义上说,严格来讲。

例:So far the discussion has centered entirely around mutation in the strict sense.到目前为止,严格来讲,讨论完全集中于围绕突变问题上。

wage工资;报偿。

与salary的区别是:salary按月发放的工资,领工资者常是有专门技能和知识的人。

Unit 4美国梦对不同的人有不同的意义,但对许多人,尤其是对移民而言,它意味着改善自己生活的机会。

对于他们,美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。

托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬到那么高,但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦——弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地一个遍地是石头的农庄。

他什么时候以及怎么到美国的,我不清楚。

不过,有天晚上,我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。

他身高五英尺七、八左右,人很瘦。

“我割你的草坪,”他说。

他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

我问他叫什么名字。

“托尼·特里韦索诺,”他回答说,“我割你的草坪。

”我对托尼讲,本人雇不起园丁。

“我割你的草坪,”他又说道,随后便走开了。

我走进屋子,心里有点不快。

没错,眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过,可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢?等我第二天晚上下班回到家,草坪已修整过了,花园除了草,人行道也清扫过了。

我便问太太是怎么回事。

“有个人把割草机从汽车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来,”她回答说,“我还以为是你雇他来的。

”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。

我俩都觉得奇怪,他怎么没提出要工钱。

接下来的两天挺忙,我把托尼的事给忘了。

我们在尽力重整业务,要让一部分工人回厂里来。

但在星期五,回家略微早了些,我又在汽车库后面看到了托尼。

我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

“我割你的草坪,”他说。

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪,就这样托尼每天清扫院子,有什么零活,他都干了。

我太太说,但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的,他挺派得上用场。

夏去秋来,凉风阵阵。

“克罗先生,快下雪了,”有天晚上托尼跟我说,“等冬天到了,你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。

”啊,对这种执着与期盼,你又能怎样呢?自然,托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

几个月过去了。

我让人事部门送上一份报告。

他们说托尼干得挺棒。

一天我在汽车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。

Why is it repeated?(The sentence is repeated four times. That’s because it shows Tony’s determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.)2.Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? (Para. 12)Paraphrase the sentence.(It is hard to refuse a person who is determined and hopeful to get a job.)3.My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story. (Para. 16)1) Paraphrase the sentence.(My wife and I were happy with what Tony had achieved, and thought that the whole thing had thus been settled.)2) Was Tony satisfied with this end?(Tony was not satisfied. He kept on working hard until he fulfilled his better dreams.)4.From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place — abroken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing — Tony would gather and take home.(Para. 21)1) Why did Tony take home the discarded odds and ends?(Tony bought a house, which was a complete wreck. To fix and decorate it, and, above all, to save money, he took home the discarded odds and ends.)2) Translate the sentence into Chinese.(从那以后,只要我家附近有什么被人扔弃的零星杂物,坏了的屏风啦,五金器具啦,包装纸板啦,托尼都要收起来拿回家,看他这个样子真是有意思。

UNIT41. Think for a moment about your own life — the activities of your day, the possessions you enjoy, the surroundings in which you live. Is there anything you don’t have at this moment that you would like to have? Anything that you have, but that you would like more of? If your answer is “no,” then congratulations — either you are well advanced on the path of Zen self-denial, or else you are a close relative of Ted Turner . The rest of us, however, would benefit from an increase in our material standard of living. This simple truth is at the very core of economics. It can be restated this way: we all face the problem of scarcity.2 Almost everything in your daily life is scarce. You would benefit from a larger room or apartment, so you have a scarcity of space. You have only two pairs of shoes and could use a third for hiking; you have a scarcity of shoes. You would love to take a trip to Chicago, but it is difficult for you to find the time or the money to go — trips to Chicago are scarce.3 Because of scarcity, each of us is forced to make choices. We must allocate our scarce time to different activities: work, play, education, sleep, shopping, and more. We must allocate our scarce spending power among different goods and services: food, furniture, movies, long-distance phone calls, and many others.4 Economists study the choices we make as individuals and how those choices shape our economy. For example, the goods that each of us decides to buy ultimately determine which goods business firms will produce. This, in turn, explains which firms and industries will hire new workers and which will lay them off.5. Economists also study the more subtle and indirect effects of individual choice on our society. Will most Americans continue to live in houses, or — like Europeans will most of us end up in apartments? Will we have an educated and well-informed citizenry? Will museums and libraries be forced to close down? Will traffic congestion in our cities continue to worsen, or is there relief in sight? These questions hinge, in large part, on the separate decisions of millions of people. To answer them requires an understanding of how people make choices under conditions of scarcity.6. Think for a moment about the goals of our society. We want a high standard of living for all citizens: clean air, safe streets, and good schools. What is holding us back from accomplishing all of these goals in a way that would satisfy everyone? You probably already know the answer: scarcity. 1. 想一想你的生活:你每天从事的活动,你所拥有的财产,你所居住的环境。
