（完整版）Unit4CulturalEncounters课文翻译综合教程二

（完整版）Unit4CulturalEncounters课文翻译综合教程二Unit 4 Cultural EncountersSusan BassnettWe live in an age of easy access to the rest of the world. Cheap flights mean that millions of people are able to visit places their parents could only dream about, while the Internet enables us to communicate with the remotest places and the traditional postal services are now referred to almost mockingly as "snail mail." When students go off back-packing, they can email their parents from Internet cafes in the Himalayas or from a desert oasis. And as for mobile phones — the clicking of text messaging at any hour of the day or night has become familiar to us all. Everyone, it seems, provided, of course, they can afford to do so, need never be out of touch.Significantly also, this great global communications revolution is also linked to the expansion of English, which has now become the leading international language. Conferences and business meetings around the globe are held in English, regardless of whether anyone present is a native English speaker. English has simply become the language that facilitates communication, and for many people learning English is an essential stepping stone on the road to success.So why, you may wonder, would anyone have misgivings about all these wonderful developments, and why does the rise of English as a global language cause feelings of uneasiness for some of us? For there are indeed problems with the communications revolution, problems that are not only economic. Most fundamental is the profound relationship between language and culture that lies at the heart of societyand one that we overlook at our peril.Different cultures are not simply groups of people who label the world differently; languages give us the means to shape our views of the world and languages are different from one another. We express what we see and feel through language, and because languages are so clearly culture-related, often we find that what we can say in one language cannot be expressed at all in another. The English word "homesickness" translates into Italian as "nostalgia," but English has had to borrow that same word to describe a different state of mind, something that is not quite homesickness and involves a kind of longing. Homesickness and nostalgia put together are almost, but not quite, the Portuguese "saudade," an untranslatable word that describes a state of mind that is not despair, angst (English borrowed that from German), sadness or regret, but hovers somewhere in and around all those words.The early Bible translators hit the problem of untranslatability head-on. How do you translate the image of the Lamb of God for a culture in which sheep do not exist? What exactly was the fruit that Eve picked in the Garden of Eden? What was the creature that swallowed Jonah, given that whales are not given to swimming in warm, southern seas? Faced with unsurmountable linguistic problems, translators negotiated the boundaries between languages and came up with a compromise.Compromising is something that speakers of more than one language understand. When there are no words in another language for what you want to say, you make adjustments and try to approximate. English and Welsh speakers make adjustments regarding the colour spectrum in the grey / green / blue / brown range, since English has four words and Welsh hasthree. And even where words do exist, compromises still need to be made. The word "democracy" means completely different things in different contexts, and even a word like "bread" which refers to a staple food item made of flour means totally different things to different people. The flat breads of Central Asia are a long way away from Mother's Pride white sliced toasties, yet the word "bread" has to serve for both.Inevitably, the spread of English means that millions of people are adding another language to their own and are learning how to negotiate cultural and linguistic differences. This is an essential skill in today's hybrid world, particularly now when the need for international understanding has rarely been so important. But even as more people become multilingual, so native English speakers are losing out, for they are becoming ever more monolingual, and hence increasingly unaware of the differences between cultures that languages reveal. Communicating in another language involves not only linguistic skills, but the ability to think differently, to enter into another culture's mentality and shape language accordingly. Millions of people are discovering how to bridge cultures, while the English-speaking world becomes ever more complacent and cuts down on foreign language learning programmes in the mistaken belief that it is enough to know English.World peace in the future depends on intercultural understanding. Those best placed to help that process may not be the ones with the latest technology and state of the art mobile phones, but those with the skills to understand what lies in, under and beyond the words spoken in many different languages.文化冲突我们生活在一个交流非常便捷的时代。

After twenty years二十年后1 The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were few. The time was barely ten o'clock at night, but chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh de-peopled the streets.正在巡逻的警察沿街而行，神态威严。

威严的神态是习惯性的而不是给别人看的，因为也没几个人在看。

时间将近夜里十点钟，但是，夹带着一丝雨意的阵阵寒风已使街道近乎空无一人了。

2 Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. The vicinity was one that kept early hours. Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.警官边走边推门，看看沿街的店门关好了没有。

Unit 4Active reading (1)上头条世界各地的媒体都以头条报道同一新闻的情形并不很常见。

这样的事件得具有巨大的国际影响力。

但是这正是2001 年9 月恐怖分子袭击纽约世贸中心双塔之后发生的情形。

从那一刻起世界改变了模样，这样说也许并不夸张。

但是，使9/11 值得纪念并（用媒体喜欢的话来说）具有新闻价值的不仅仅是它的历史性和国际性。

还有震惊和恐惧。

这一消息极度震撼，极具爆炸性。

事发多年以后，许多人还能清楚地记得他们第一次听到这一消息时身在何处和当时正在做什么。

他们能记得自己的反应：对全世界许多人来说，他们的第一本能是去把这一消息告诉别的人。

这就证实了那句老话：“坏事传千里”。

一切重大新闻都是如此。

我记得上小学的时候，老师脸色煞白地向一班吃惊的七岁孩子通报说，肯尼迪总统死了。

我并不知道肯尼迪总统是谁，但是我听到这一消息后非常不安，后来就跑回家去告诉了父母（当然，他们已经知道了）。

事实上，这是我最早的记忆之一。

那么，新闻到底是什么？一个事件光有客观重要性显然还不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问题，都会造成戏剧性的后果，从贫困问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是进行中的，并不都集中在同一天上头条。

对比之下，9/11 不仅具有国际性，而且奇特怪异、出人意料，还（可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人们的困境感同身受，从这个意义上讲）极具人性。

奇特怪异并不意味着重大。

就拿今天的《中国日报》上关于一只老鼠延误了一架从越南飞至日本的航班这条消息为例吧。

在河内机场有人发现那只老鼠在一架飞机的过道里奔跑。

它最终被12 名技术人员合力逮住，他们怕它会咬破电线，造成短路。

飞机晚点了四个多小时才起飞。

你也许会说，这并不是具有重大国际影响的事件（除了少数乘客到另一国赴约迟到以外）。

但是全球却颇有反响，从亚洲经苏格兰到美洲的电子版报纸都有转载（《爱丁堡晚报》的标题是“捉老鼠延误航班”）。

另一个新闻价值的元素是即时性。

自考英语（二）Unit4ThejoyofworkUnit 4 The joy of workText AWork is a blessingI grew up in Lakeland ,Louisiana, one of 12 children. We all lived on my parents’ subsistence farm. We grew cotton, sugar cane, corn, hogs and chickens and had a large garden, but it did n’t bring in much cash. So when I was 12, I got a part -time job on a dairy farm down the road, helping to milk cows. We milked 65 cows at 5 in the morning. and again at 2 in the afternoon, seven days a week.我在路易斯安那州莱克兰长大，是家中12个孩子的其中一个。

我们都住在分母的自给自足的农场。

我们种棉花、甘蔗、玉米，养殖猪和鸡，还有一个大花园，但没有带来很大的收益。

所以当我12岁的时候，我在马路边的一个奶牛场找到了一份兼职工作，帮忙挤牛奶。

我们一周工作七天，早上5点挤65头牛的奶，下午2点再挤一次。

In the kitchen one Saturday before daylight, I remember complaining to my father and grandfather about having to go milk those cows. My father said,” Y a know, boy, to work is blessing.”一个星期六，天还没亮的时候，我在厨房里向父亲和祖父抱怨要去挤牛奶。

Unit 4Drug Therapy in the Older Adult老年人的药物治疗Drug therapy in the older adult population is a complex phenomenon influenced by numerous biopsychosocial factors. The elderly are the largest group of consumers of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The average older adult uses 4.5 prescriptions and 2.1 OTC medications and fills between 12 to 17 prescriptions yearly. The incidence发生率of adverse有害的drug reactions in the elderly is two to three times that found in young adult. This is considered to be a conservative 保守的estimate估计, because drug reactions are less well recognized in older adults and because reactions can often mimic symptoms of specific disease states.药物治疗在老年人口是一个复杂的现象，因其被众多的生物心理社会因素影响。

老年人是处方药和非处方药的最大消费群体。

老年人平均使用4.5张处方和2.1张非处方药，每年填写12到17张处方。

老年人的药物不良反应发生率是年轻人的两到三倍。

这被认为是一个保守的估计，因为药物反应在老年人中较少被认识，因为反应往往可以模拟特定疾病状态的症状。

研究生综合英语第二版曾建彬主编课文翻译Unit4

Unit4爱是一门艺术吗？艾里克·弗洛姆爱是一门艺术吗?那就需要知识并付出努力。

或者爱是一种令人愉悦的情感，只有幸运儿才能“坠入”爱河呢?这本小书是以第一种假设为前提的，而大多数人无疑都相信第二种假设。

人们并非认为爱无关紧要。

人们对于爱总是如饥似渴，悲欢离合的爱情电影他们百看不厌，百般无聊的爱情歌曲他们百听不烦。

但很少有人认为爱需要学习。

对爱的这种奇怪观点基于几个错误前提，这些前提或单独或一起支撑着这一观点。

多数人认为爱就是“被人爱”，而非“爱别人”，或主动去爱的能力。

因此，对他们而言，关键问题就在于如何被爱，如何粉可爱。

他们采取各种途径以期达到此目的。

一种方法就是成为成功人士，在自己的社会地位所许可的范围内获取最大量的权力和财产。

这种方法的效法者多为男性。

另一种方法则是通过保持身材和注重打扮使自己富有魅力。

女性尤为青睐该方法。

其他一些让自己魅力四射的方法有：举止得体，谈吐风趣，乐于助人、低调内敛等。

这些方式男女均有采用。

很多使自己可爱的方式和使自己成功的途径并无区别，那就是“赢得朋友和影响他人”。

事实上，社会上大多数人所理解的“可爱”无非是受大众欢迎和对异性有吸引力这两点的综合而已。

导致“爱不需要学习”这种看法的第二个前提是：人们想当然地认为爱的问题是“对象”问题，而不是“能力”问题。

人们认为爱是件很简单的事，困难在于要找到爱或被爱的对象。

造成这种态度的几大根源基于现代社会的发展。

原因之一是：在20世纪，人们对“恋爱对象”的选择出现了巨大变化。

在维多利亚时代，同许多传统文化一样，人们一般认为爱情并非是那种最终走向婚姻的自然产生的个人情感。

恰恰相反，人们认为婚姻是按照传统习俗约定的：或为父母之命，或为媒妁之言，也可能无须这些中介撮合；婚姻是按社会习俗的考虑决定的，婚姆既成，爱情随之自然而然地产生。

过去几十年以来，西方世界普遍认可自由恋爱。

在美国，尽管传统爱情观念并没有完全消失，但人们普遍在寻我“浪没爱情”寻找那种最终会走向的自由。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2unit4课文详解

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。

Unit4 无子女家庭：亘古生息的反叛1二十好几的凯茜、韦恩夫妇结婚已有五年之久，膝下犹虚。

上次凯茜娘家有一个人问：“你们打算什么时候要孩子?”她答道：“我们就是孩子!”2凯茜与韦恩属于一代人数日益增长、决定不要孩子的年轻已婚夫妇群体。

最近一项调查显示在过去的五年中，年龄在25至29岁之间妇女不愿生养的百分比几乎翻了一番，在18至24岁的已婚妇女中几乎增至三倍。

在这个似乎大胆反抗生物性和社会性的决定后面隐藏着什么原因呢?3或许最能公开坦陈心曲的无子女夫妇是《婴儿陷阱》一书的作者：埃伦，派克，其夫威廉，一位广告总经理兼全国不生养夫妇协会主席。

派克夫妇认为他们和协会均无意反对生儿育女，不过是反对迫使人们传宗接代的社会压力，它无视人们是否殷切盼望和真的需要孩子或者根本不好此道。

4“这是一种生活方式的选择，”埃伦说，“我们选择自由和自愿，清净和闲暇。

这也是一个朝哪个方向付出努力的问题——在你自己的小家庭之内或在一个大的社团之中。

这一代人面临有关地球生命延续的严重问题以及生命质量的问题。

我们的孙男孙女也许将购票去观赏最后一批红松林或排队去获取氧气配给。

有人抱怨在回家见五个孩子的途中被交通堵塞困住好几个小时，但是他们不能将孩子与交通堵塞联系起来。

在一个受到人口过剩一系列后果威胁的世界上，我们正在参与一项事业使膝下无子的生活模式为社会所接受并受世人尊重。

太多的孩子作为一种文化强制的后果而呱呱坠地，离婚和虐待儿童的相关统计充分揭露了这一结果。

”5埃伦的丈夫补充说：“每位朋友、亲戚、同事不停地给你施加压力，劝你要孩子，说什么‘发现你生活中失去的东西’。

好多好多人很晚才发现，所谓他们失去的东西其实是他们完全不适合做的事情。

”6埃伦还说：“从抱第一个洋娃娃开始，大到欣赏电视肥皂剧，成年后参加鸡尾酒会，无形之中，总有一种压力要你为人父母。

但是让我们来看看养育失败的比率吧，或许天下父母应该视为像当医生一样的专门职业。

有些人擅长此道，他们应当生养孩子；有些人一窍不通，他们应该认为他们还有其他的选择。

Unit 4 When we abuse animals, we debase ourselves人类虐待动物就是在贬损自己Moving a cow by chaining it to a tractor and dragging it by its leg says a lot about how we perceive and value animals. When the Humane Society video that showed this and other brutal slaughterhouse treatment made the rounds on the Internet a few weeks ago, it caused public shock and led to a federal investigation. But there's a deeper lesson that all of us – whether or not we eat meat – need to take to heart: we degrade ourselves when we degrade animals.将一头牛锁在一辆拖拉机上然后拖动很好地表明了我们对动物的看法和感受。

当人道协会的这个展现了这样场面等其它屠宰场里残忍对待的录像片在数周前网上散布后它引起了公众的震惊，导致联邦政府开展调查。

但是对我们所有人来说这还是一个更为深刻的教训--不论我们是否吃肉--应该铭刻在心中：在贬低动物的同时我们在贬低自己。

Much as bullies demoralize themselves when they dominate or ride roughshod over those who are meek, vulnerable, or defenseless, it should be obvious that human beings are the ones demoralized by the commission of inhumane acts.正如那些欺负者们当控制那些温顺、脆弱或没有抵抗力的人们或骑在他们头上是在将自己的道德败坏一样去进行那些残忍的虐待动物的活动中人类的道德也被这种非人道的行为所败坏。

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。
