Unit 1 Love善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯∙ J ∙布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。

他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。

我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。

对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。

他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。

2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。

因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。

但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。

”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。

不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。

即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。

对他来说这是一种自豪。

4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。

这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。

一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。

曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。

5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。

他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。

6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。

他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。

如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。

7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。

但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。

8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。

当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。

他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。

他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

新标准大学英语第二册译文

Unit 1Active reading (1)大学已经不再特别了有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20 世纪60 年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。

但是，20 世纪60 年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。

20 世纪60 年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。

然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。

1966 年，罗纳德·里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、持不一意见的少数人征服。

”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、持不同意见的少数人。

在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

许多抗议是针对越南战争的。

可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致了戴高乐总统辞职。

20 世纪60 年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。

不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。

你往往得上了大学才得以阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米·亨德里克斯或伦尼·布鲁斯的志同道合者。

那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。

可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。

当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。

例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50％的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标，（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。

不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。

如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。

Unit7 学语言的快乐一天里随便哪个时刻，来自全球几乎所有国家的很多人正在学习某一种新的语言。

学习的原因也许各不相司。

有的纯属兴趣，有的是为出国准备，而有的是找工作需要。

还有的纯粹由于语言是中小学、大学必修课。

不论出于何种原因，所有学语言的人都会感受到掌握一门语言的酸甜苦辣——而这总会让初学者不时处境尴尬。

就在上周我乘出租车去拜访一位朋友，决定试一下我近来学的几句广东话。

我凑上前去，拍了下司机的肩膀，告诉他去“四号公寓大厦”，我同事的住处。

司机的脸一下子白了，刹住车，大惊失色。

后来我才知道自己把“四号公寓大厦”的声调搞混了，说成司机已经死了。

学一门新的语言不只是多背单词和语法规则那么简单。

一个字，一个表达法的意义主要看它使用的语境。

同一个字用在此处恰如其分，在彼处可能牛头不对马嘴。

这可能就是用错了，还可能十分无礼。

更复杂的是，语言是个活的体系，老在发展变化。

字的意义变得极快，变得大多数人辨不出它们的字面意思。

英语的词汇丰富多样，习用语层出不穷，发音规则复杂，对初学者难度尤大。

母语不是英语的人完全可能因说话的语调错了显得态度粗野，得罪别人。

我们讲话的方式往往流露出我们的心境、个性、对听话人的态度以及我们说话时的心思。

说话人很容易就向听者发出错误信号，无意中造成尴尬局面。

一位西班牙人最近来我家吃饭，我妻子忙了一天备了一顿美餐。

吃完饭客人说饭菜“挺不错”。

我妻子一听这话就不愉快，认为客人很没礼貌。

而"quite"这个字有“非常”和“有点”的意思。

客人是说这顿饭菜非常不错，我妻子却理解成还可以!还有个问题是，不同国家的人对事物或人的名称的态度不同。

有人认为名称极为重要，而其他人却认为名称不过用来指人代物，方便准确。

其实，三百多年前英国著名作家威廉·莎士比亚就曾说过，“玫瑰换名照样芳香。

”像“foreigner"这个字看似没有什么不好的意思，可用在特定的场合会侮辱别人，伤害别人感情。

Chapter 1教育：社会的反思（杜亚-译）探访学校，在世界任何地方，你可能会注意到若干相似之处。

学生，教师，课本，黑板和考试无处不在。

然而，在任何其他国家相比一个国家的学校制度是不同于别的的系统。

它不能完全一样的，因为每个文化是不同的。

教育系统是一面镜子，反映文化。

看看学校系统，你将看到的社会结构及其文化价值。

墨西哥在墨西哥，教育系统反映了国家的许多方面。

相信国家能够通过教育实现人人平等的权利。

墨西哥的教育系统的基础是国家的宪法，并于1917年写的。

它要求教育是免费的，强制性的，具有普遍性。

它还指出，教育应支持民族团结，导致社会，经济和文化的人民改善。

在较低的水平，这意味着有该国丰富的文化历史的重视。

孩子写历史论文，参加各种活动，为国家节日，阅读有关国家英雄 - 特别是土著人。

然而，我们很难提供在农村地区，那里的土著人民仍然生活教育。

在这些地区的人民是贫穷和孤立的地理位置。

没有足够的学校，农村教师必须能够教小学所有6个等级。

此外，在一些土著人民的传统通常不包括上学。

日本日本高度重视教育。

一项统计数字反映了这一点：日本教育等放在重要的是，百分之88的学生不仅完成小学，而且高中。

公立学校都是免费和平等的，所有学生被认为是平等的，学习相同的材料。

对于社会的原因，很重要的一个学生获得大学学位，并从“大学学位的权利。

”为了实现这一目标，学生必须通过“考试地狱。

”有入学的所有大学困难的考试，到更好的小学和中学很多，甚至一些幼儿园！日本学生需要伟大的纪律，以使他们在学习的时间，他们需要自我控制放弃嗜好，体育和社会生活。

这些考试的结果会影响整个家庭，因为有很高的地位，社会地位或为整个家庭，当孩子考试分数高。

英国在联合王国（英国），教育系统反映了复合系统。

所有公立学校，小学，中学和大学，都是免费的，首先是平等的9年，所有学生学习相同的材料。

11岁时，学生参加考试的一个重要的国家。

在此之后，他们参加一个中学三种可能：学院的筹备，职业（就业培训），或全面（与两组的学生）。

According to the first three paragraphs: A major purpose of advertising is to inform us of new products or good bargains / help producers to sell their products. It is possible that advertising is becoming less effective because we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it. 2. According to the advertisement for Bantu Island: The more adventurous members of the family can visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern/ study the fascinating sea creatures of' that area. The less adventurous members can use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course or visit tile less adventurous places of interest ( in an airconditioned vehicle) such as a local lake. Ghosts are often seen around Lake Tall. Wood has been used to make the accommodation "units"The holiday is cheap because the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money. 3. According to the newspaper report onBantu Island: Bantu Island is really only a small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean. Swimming around the island would be very dangerous because of the many sharks. The swimming pool isn't very much in use because there is no water in it. The author doesn't believe the stories about Lake Tall because it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true. The author says the only reason your money "goes further" is that Bantu Island is a long way away go the money will be travelling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaninq of money lasting lounger as things are so cheap. 4. The advice the author gives in the last two paragraphs is to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part B: Comparing the texts The Brochure 1 2 3 4 5 6 resort a shallow bay/ island paradise fascinating sea creatures deluxe air-conditioned transport individual, handcrafted units ancient and mysterious lake The Newspaper Article building site beachless bay/ hare rock hungry sharks open-backed jeep wooden huts dirty pondPart C:Interpreting the text1. Explain why the writer believes these two texts provide a "perfect example" of what he is trying to say. The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases, "legalized lying". The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously verymisleading—and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth. 2. Why were the visitors to Bantu Island made to pay for the "tours" beforethey got to the resort? Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not waist to go on any tours. 3. Did the first article give any information that was not true, as opposed to simply misleading? No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies —simply did not tell the whole truth or ,misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) -- it does not actually say that they don't have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say they are sharks, etc. 4. Explain fully what the writer means by the last sentence of the article. We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problem that is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, "special offers" on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsGetting the writer's purpose Which of the following do you think could be used to describe the tone of the newspaper article? humourous, aggressive, sarcastic Look at the two texts again and make notes in the table below of other examples of each category.

No mention of having to wash in a small stream ( i. e. no plumbing or washing facilities in thehotel). ... you won't have a penny more to pay! -- A "Holiday" .for Nobody -- the inverted commas indicate that the writer .feels sharks half-built blasted They don't exist.The exclamation mark is supposed to showthe reader what a wonderful deal she / he is the word "Holiday" is not the correct getting with the holiday. word.

Unit1Advertising:A Holiday of a Lifetime终身难忘的假期旅游不管我们身在何处，无论我们在做什么，我们身边都包绕着广告。

有些广告是有用的--------能告诉我们当前新产品的信息，哪儿物美价廉。

制造商利用广告来推销产品，不然生意将会做不成。

其实，曾经有人说过：“商人们赚到大笔大笔的钞票得益于广告的功劳。

”然而，现在的广告是否太泛滥了？可以说广告的效应已经事与愿违，因为大量的广告是误导人的。

我们大多对广告视而不见。

或许大作家H.G.Wells更确切地道出了其中的真谛：“广告是合法化了的谎言。

”请让我举一个我认为是绝好的亲身经历的例子，我当时想找一个好的地方带我的家人去度假。

我查找旅游指南，并自认为找到了一个十全十美的假日。

广告打的招牌是“终生难忘之旅”。

unit 1unit 1课文参考译文：写给女儿的信亲爱的女儿，我们驱车驶出哥伦比亚大学的时候，我就决定给你写封信，把我心里的想法全都告诉你。

首先，我想对你说，我们为你感到骄傲。

进入哥伦比亚大学真正证明了你在学业、艺术和社交方面的能力。

无论是你高中微积分得第一名，完成漂亮的时装设计，成功卖出自己绘制的跑鞋，还是在“模拟联合国”中成为最优秀的演讲人之一，你已经成为一个多才多艺、颇有成就的女孩。

你应该像我们一样为自己感到骄傲。

我会永远记得第一次将你抱在怀里的那一刻。

我内心升起一股颤栗的感觉，我想那必定是将我们一生都连在一起的“父女情结”。

我记得唱着催眠曲轻轻摇你入睡。

你从出生就一直是个特别乖巧的孩子，总是非常文静、体贴专注，又懂礼貌。

记得三岁的你每个周末都跟着我们去买建房的材料，乐呵呵地在车上吃着汉堡，与巴尼唱着歌，唱累了就睡觉，忍受着长时间的乏味却一点儿不抱怨。

你上周日中文学习班，尽管一点也不觉得有趣，却依然很努力地学。

我真不敢相信，有你这样的女儿，做父母的是多么的幸运！你也是个好姐姐。

虽然你们姐妹以前也吵过架，但是最近几年，你们真的成了好朋友。

妹妹很爱你，敬重你，并把你当成她的榜样。

你也看到了，我们开车离开哥大后，她会非常想你。

世界上最宝贵的就是家人，除了父母，妹妹就是你最可以信任的人了。

随着年龄的增长，你们姐妹之间的情谊不变，一直互相照应，彼此关心，这就是我们最希望见到的事情。

你在大学期间，一定要隔三岔五地就跟妹妹视频聊聊天，或写写电子邮件。

大学将是你人生最重要的时光。

你可能会常常问，“这些课程有什么用？”你在好奇爱问的同时，一定要记住：“教育就是在你忘记一切学到的东西之后所剩下的那个东西。

”在大学里，你将从聆听老师授课转向受到大师启迪，之后你会变成一个自我管理的学习者。

所以，即便你所学的不是生活中最重要的，请认真对待每一门功课，学习的能力将会让你受用终身的。

不要被教条所束缚，任何问题都没有唯一的简单答案。

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。

下面，是大学英语book2课文翻译的内容，提供给大家参考学习！大学英语book2课文翻译Unit 1 Are You a 1960s Type Student? 大学已不再特别了If you can remember anything about the 1960s, you weren't really there," so the saying goes. It may be true for those who spent their college years in a haze of marijuana smoke. But there is one thing everyone remembers about the 1960s: Going to college was the most exciting and stimulating experience of your life.In the 1960s, California's colleges and universities had transformed the state into the world's seventh largest economy. However, Berkeley, the University of California's main campus, was also well-known for its student demonstrations and strikes, and its atmosphere of political radicalism. When Ronald Reagan ran for office as governor of California in 1966, he asked if Californians would allow "a great university to be brought to its knees by a noisy, dissident minority". The liberals replied that it was the ability to tolerate noisy, dissident minorities which made universities great.On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice. Much of the protest was about the Vietnam War. But in France, the students of the Sorbonne in Paris managed to form an alliance with the trade unions and to launch a general strike, whichultimately brought about the resignation of President de Gaulle.It wasn't just the activism that characterized student life in the 1960s. Everywhere, going to college meant your first taste of real freedom, of late nights in the dorm or in the Junior Common Room, discussing the meaning of life. You used to have to go to college to read your first forbidden book, see your first indie film, or find someone who shared your passion, for Jimi Hendrix or Lenny Bruce. It was a moment of unimaginable freedom, the most liberating in your life:But where's the passion today? What's the matter with college? These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. Of course, it's true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics). Yet college education is no longer a topic of great national importance. T oday, college is seen as a kind of small town from which people are keen to escape. Some people drop out, but the most apathetic stay the course because it's too much effort to leave.Instead of the heady atmosphere of freedom which students in the1960s discovered, students today are much more serious. The British Council has recently done research into the factors which help international students decide where to study. In descending order these are: quality of courses, employability prospects, affordability, personal security issues, lifestyle, and accessibility. College has become a means to an end, an opportunity to increase one's chances on the employment market, and not an end in itself, which gives you the chance toimagine, just for a short while, that you can change the world.The gap between childhood and college has shrunk, and so has the gap between college and the real world. One of the reasons may be financial. In an uncertain world, many children rely on their parents' support much longer than they used to. Students leaving university in the 21st century simply cannot afford to set up their own home because it's too expensive. Another possible reason is the communications revolution. Gone are the days when a son or daughter rang home once or twice a term. Today students are umbilically linked to their parents by their cell phones. And as for finding like-minded friends to share a passion for obscure literature or music, well, we have the Internet and chat rooms to help us do that."Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very heaven!"Wordsworth may have written these lines about the French Revolution; but they were also true for the students of the 1960s. So why aren't they true for the students of today?有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

大学英语泛读第二册unit1课文翻译(精)

在伍斯特理工学院的演讲罗伯特巴拉德或许我受邀演讲的一个原因是，再过几个星期我就五十岁了，但是我对我的将来仍然充满兴奋感，就像三十年前一样。

当时，我大学毕业，准备进入人生一个新的阶段。

对我来说，生活就是一次冒险。

一系列的旅程，一圈圈的环绕。

就像所有伟大的梦想一样，他们都始于一个梦。

当我长大以后，梦想仍然是我生命中的一部分。

每个人都有梦想并努力去使自己的梦想成真。

对我来说，我的梦想就是冒险。

我心目中的英雄是类似于马可波罗，詹姆斯库克船长，和儒勒凡尔纳的小说中那些神话般的人物。

其中一个我欣赏的英雄出自《海底两万里》，包括里面的诺第留斯号核潜艇及尼莫船长。

我最大的梦想就是能建造一艘自己的潜艇然后环游海底世界，成为像尼莫船长那样的人物——能从他的魔力窗户里看到平生未尝见过的事物。

我很幸运拥有这样的梦想。

我的父亲是一名工程师，我的哥哥是一名物理学家。

对他们来说世界充斥着物理定律。

物理定律，多么美妙的一样事物啊。

不管你走到宇宙中的哪个角落它都能适用。

假使你能旅行到我们星系的最远处，发现一个拥有智慧生命的生灵，这些生灵可能从未听说过共产主义或资本主义，律师或政治家，但他们却会懂得物理学的定律。

如果上帝想创造什么定律来引导我们，他也理所当然会包括这个定律在内。

一个像尼莫船长那样伟大的探险家怎么可能会不知道这个主导宇宙的万能定律呢？这个发现对我来说实在太幸运了。

它意味着我的梦想有可能成为现实。

我发现当我尝试去实现我的梦想的时候，我就可以实现。

当我遵循这个物理定律时一切皆有可能。

当它成为可能，梦想就触手可及，就算必须冒很多险进行很多的尝试。

在一次伟大的旅程中，当你拥有了一个梦想，你就会开始为自己准备去实现它。

这都是你们在过去四年中一直做的事。

以我为例，我的旅途是身体力行的。

我觉得自己所做的一切是如此美妙。

我能够远离这个社会去一些更远的地方冒险。

就像伊阿宋智取金羊毛，尤利西斯和他的奥德赛史诗。

当我长大以后，世界板块被极大地开发延伸了，最终定界于天空和海底。
