全新版大学英语五翻译答案1--5

我的祖母不识字，可是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。小时候我总是缠着她，要她给我讲故事。而她在忙完家务后，总会把我抱在膝上，一边讲故事一边有节奏地晃动我。这些故事加上她丰富的表情，深深地吸引住了我。

我父母发现了我对故事的浓厚兴趣，不失时机地引导我进行阅读。他们给我买了许多带插图的故事书，有空的时候就一遍遍地读给我听。慢慢地我认识了很多字，能自行阅读了。

直到今天，我还要感谢祖母和双亲。没有他们，我今天不可能成为一名作家。

Although my grandmother was illiterate, she had a good stack of myths and legends. When I was young I gave her no peace, constantly asking her to tell me stories. After she had finished her ho usework, she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories, all the while rocking me in rhythm. These stories and her expressive face appealed profoundly to me.

Having noticed my interest in stories, my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading. They b ought many storybooks with illustations, and whenever free, they would read these stories to me over and over again. By and by I had a vocabulary large to read on my own .

Today, I still live in gratitude to my grandmother and my parents. Without them, I could never hav e become a writer.

Unit 2 Diet

一项又一项的研究发现，食物和一些慢性病之间有密切关系。例如：某些慢性病危险的降低和多吃以食物为基本成分的食物是相关联的。因此，在过去的十年中，美国饮食协会敦促美国人减少动物脂肪的摄取，增加水果、蔬菜和谷物的消费。同时，美国农业部发布了包括食物指导金字塔在内的文件，鼓励人们每天至少吃三道蔬菜和两份水果。但是许多美国人还是没有按照这些建议去做。彼德就是一个很好的例子。他因摄入过量的动物脂肪患了心血管病。尽管医生建议他吃有益于健康的食物，诸如吃以植物为主的食物，但是他非常固执，从不采纳。他说他无法抵挡有肉菜肴的诱惑，他的理想饮食一定要包含肉。人们没有意识到多吃以植物为主的食物的必要性，这使政府更加担心。他们正发起新的运动，以提高人们这方面的认识。今天你吃了多少水果和蔬菜呢？

Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a n umber of chronic diseases. For example, a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods. Therefore, in the past, the American Dietet ic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats, and to boost consumptio n of fruits, vegetable, and grains. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Agriculture has rel eased a document containing the food guide pyramid which encourages a minimun of 3 vegetabl es and 2 fruit servings per day. However, many Americans still don’t meet/listen to these recomm endations. A good case in point is Peter. He developed a cardiovascular disease due to an excessiv e intake of animal fats. Athough his doctor suggested he should adopt a healthy diet, such as eati ng plant-based foods, he was too stubborn to listen. He said he couldn’t resist the temptation of dishes with meat and that meat would always feature prominently in his ideal diet. People’s lack of awareness of the need to eat more plant-based foods has heightened the government’s conce rn and it is launching a new campaign to increase pulic awareness in this area. Well, how much fr uit and vegetable have you eaten today?
