21世纪大学新英语读写译教程2第二册Unit 3-7课文翻译
Unit 3Text A〔Chinese〕1994年元旦前夕,我生下一名女婴并建立了一项新的业务。
太不切实际了,是的,但它是我不得不做的。
决心要做一个居家照顾孩子的妈妈,我开始在家靠从事写广告和自由撰稿谋生。
这特别具有挑战性,因为我是一无父母的、又没有人帮助的单亲妈妈。
我必须想出办法有一个环境既能抚养孩子维持生计。
多亏了互联网!〔Chinese〕花了一小笔钱买了一个显示器、鼠标和电话后,我就连接并拨号上网了。
一买了电脑,我就聘请技术人员为我设置了万维网。
一点击鼠标我就完全进入了网络空间。
我启程了!我真是欣喜若狂。
我有了电子邮件,准备靠它带来客户。
我一下子把传真机扔出滑动玻璃门,烧掉了我的纸质活动记载。
我该马上行动了,是的,我也这样做了。
我很快建立了计算机文档,一切开始发生了。
〔Chinese〕有了无线电话耳机的连接,我抱着宝宝从一个房间到另一个房间,一边换脏尿布一边和客户交谈。
当女儿睡觉的时候,我就在网上工作。
有时候是在“奥普拉”节目的伴随中,有时是午夜过后。
在互联网上工作使得我有了这种宝贵的灵活性,我要是从事其他工作就根本不可能有这种灵活性了。
〔Chinese〕互联网帮我挖掘新的业务。
我向行业杂志和全国性杂志的编辑写了查询信,很快就收到了答复和写作任务,并没有受到时间的拖延。
我不再需要查看信箱找拒绝信或者签好的合同。
所有这些文件通过互联网电子邮件就能快速获得。
〔Chinese〕不久,我的想法就在键盘上飞越,新闻稿从指尖流出。
我是一个网络冲浪妈妈,没有什么会使我慢下来。
每套宣传材料完成后,所有的简介都写好后,我会直接用电子邮件把我的资料发给世界各地的不同编辑。
我不必再站在麦克斯办公用品公司前排队复印或等传真,我所需要的每样东西都整齐地放进我的家庭办公电脑里了〔Chinese〕即时通讯帮助我招揽了更多的业务。
我感觉到了高科技世界激情奔放。
多亏了万维网,我不再感到孤单。
我能够连接上新闻团体和各种专业人士,他们知道我在哪里以及想去哪里。

21世纪大学英语读写教程(第二册)课文翻译(1-4单元)(2)
21世纪大学英语读写教程(第二册)课文翻译(1-4单元)(2)西方和日本公司的合资企业经常会发生冲突----许多无关紧要的琐事会扩大为情绪激动的交战,各方不停地叫嚷:“他们是怎么了!?他们能不能理解……?!”但是因为冲突主要是由文化差异引起的,所以没有一方能够理解----除非他们有一名“文化翻译”。
我遇到的第一位文化翻译是一位设备安装工程师,名叫乔治,他在一家我担任国际业务部主任的美国公司里工作。
这家公司刚同一家日本商社开办了一家合资企业,美方管理部门需要有人在它的独特技术方面培训日本雇员。
乔治对设备及其安装和使用的透彻了解使他成为最能胜任这项工作的雇员,所以当乔治接受了暂时调往日本的一份两年期合同时,大家都很高兴。
从一开始,乔治就被所有的日本雇员欣然接受。
日方经理通常不信任任何被派去代表美方业主的人,但乔治生性随和,没有人把他看作是对自己职业的一种威胁。
所以他们喜欢就广泛的各类问题征求他的意见,包括大洋彼岸他们的合作伙伴的古怪行为。
公司上下的工程师们都珍视乔治的专业知识和他友好而技能熟练的帮助,他们已养成了一有问题----任何问题,就找他帮忙的习惯。
办公室里的秘书们都热衷于帮助这个讨人喜欢的单身汉学习日语。
谁也没有料到那么快公司就成了一家赢利、兴旺、日益壮大的企业。
乔治的第一份两年期合同到期了。
这时,他已经能讲很好的日语,并养成了一些日本人的习惯。
他整天喝绿茶,顿顿吃米饭,甚至学会了正确地坐榻榻米。
所以,当公司向乔治提出在日本的第二份两年期合同的建议时,他立即就接受了。
之后又有第三份合同,乔治与日本文化的情缘在继续着。
但是当乔治在这个国家的第6个年头即将结束时,一个未曾料到的困难变得显而易见了:日本工程师对迅速更新的技术的了解已经超过了乔治。
他没有什么剩下的东西可以教他们了。
难道这就是可怜的乔治的结局吗? 他对于这家他曾经如此忠诚地服务过的、现已成熟的合资企业,就再也没有什么可以贡献的了吗? 他只得离开他已开始爱上的这个国家吗? 不! 面对着要离开日本的威胁,乔治心有不甘,于是将自己重新塑造成了一名“文化翻译”。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册课文翻译
UNIT1 TEXT A我的父亲温斯顿·丘吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的,当时他正身处逆境。
1915年,作为海军大臣,他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。
原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的,但它却失败了,人员伤亡惨重,为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价:他被免去了海军部的职务,失去了显赫的政治地位。
“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。
”他的妻子克莱门泰因说。
被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一个乡间居处---耘锄农场。
在那儿,正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的,“绘画女神拯救了我!”一天他正在花园里漫步,正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。
他观看了她几分钟,然后借过她的画笔,试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神施展了她的魔法。
自那天以后,温斯顿便爱上了绘画。
任何能让沉浸在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。
于是,她赶紧去买来她所能找到的各种颜料和画具。
水彩颜料、油画颜料、纸张、帆布画布---很快耘锄农场里便堆满了一个绘画者可能想要或需要的各样东西。
画油画最终成了温斯顿的一大爱好---但是最初几步却出奇地艰难。
他凝视着他的第一块空白画布,异乎寻常地紧张。
他日后回忆道:“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料,然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。
就在这时,我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音,于是惊恐地丢下我的画笔。
当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时,更是惊慌失措。
来者正是住在附近的著名画家约翰·莱佛利爵士的妻子。
“‘在画画呢!’她大声说道。
‘多么有趣。
可你还在等什么呢? 把画笔给我---大的那支。
’她猛地用笔蘸起颜料,还没等我缓过神来,她已经挥笔泼墨在惊恐不已的画布上画下了有力的几道蓝色。
谁都看得出画布无法回击。
我不再迟疑。
我抓起那支最大的画笔,迅猛异常地向我可怜的牺牲品扑了过去。
自那以后,我再也不曾害怕过画布。
”后来教丘吉尔画画的莱佛利曾经说起过他这位不同寻常的学生的艺术才能:“如果他当初选择的是绘画而不是政治,他定会成为一位驾驭画笔的大师。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(5-8单元)21世纪高等院校教材作为国家教委组织攻关的项目,正在各高校、各学科中进行酝酿、计划、编写之中。
而21世纪大学英语教材更受人瞩目。
21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(5-8单元)1987年,普丽西拉·瓦日奎兹一边为高中毕业作准备,一边急切地等待着华盛顿大学的录取通知书,希望自己成为家中读大学的第一人。
当录取通知书送来时,她欣喜若狂。
只有一个问题:华盛顿大学没有为普丽西拉提供助学金。
它只为她提供了一笔数目不大的贷款,并要求她的家庭负担其余的费用。
“我家挣的钱刚够全家生活,但要花那么多钱供我上学却还不够,”她说。
普丽西拉打电话向经济资助办公室咨询。
他们告诉她说,未来的大学生要寻求更多的经济资助,必须与父母分开生活至少两年才符合条件。
在这期间,他们的父母不能在家庭税单上称他们为被赡养人。
“听到这话,我完全惊呆了,”普丽西拉回忆道,“我意识到我必须抽出一些时间去工作,在经济上不依靠父母,然后重新申请入学。
推迟实现我的梦想令人伤心,但这是唯一的选择。
”不到一个月,普丽西拉就在一家餐馆找到了一份工作,并搬到了西雅图贫民区一套低廉的公寓房去住。
她还报名参加了城里的一个职业培训班,学的是秘书专业。
那是一种很难适应的生活方式。
“我早上6点起床,坐很长时间的公交车去学校,下午2点下课,3点开始工作,晚上11点下班,然后回到家就累垮了。
”普丽西拉不久就发现她在餐馆的那份工作的收入还不够她维持生计。
“于是我找到我那幢公寓楼的楼主,问有没有什么清洁工作可以让我做。
他因为同情我,便同意让我每月工作30个小时。
”职业培训班按计划要历时6个月。
但普丽西拉只用了4个月就读完了。
“他们教我各种办公技能和文字处理程序。
我还学会了如何在办公室环境里接电话,以及如何撰写得体的商业函件,”她说。
培训班帮普丽西拉在一家小公司找到了一份秘书工作。
“这是我第一份像样的工作,”她说。
