Minimalist living, in simplest terms, is to live with as less as possible, mentally and physically until you achieve peace of mind. Results that ensue are less stress, more time, and increased happiness. Minimalists like to say that they're living more meaningfully, more deliberately, and that the minimalist lifestyle allows them to focus on what's more important in life: friends, hobbies, travel, experiences. Of course, minimalism doesn't meanthere's anything inherently wrong with owning material possessions. Today's problem seems to be that we tend to givetoo much meaning to our things, often forsaking ( 扔掉 ) our health, our relationships, our passions, our personal growth, and our desire to contribute beyond ourselves. In addition to its application in people's daily life, minimalism also finds application in many creative disciplines, including art, architecture, design, dance, film making, theater, music, fashion, photography and literature.极简主义是指去掉剩余的，仅保存需要的部分。

新视野大学英语第二册Unit6课文翻译

新视野⼤学英语第⼆册Unit6课⽂翻译新视野⼤学英语第⼆册Unit 6课⽂翻译不要⽤社会固有的印象来评价别⼈，⼤概就是新视野⼤学英语第⼆册第六单元的主题了。

下⾯是⼩编整理的新视野⼤学英语第⼆册Unit 6课⽂翻译，欢迎⼤家阅读! 新视野⼤学英语第⼆册Unit 6课⽂翻译【篇1】在她⼈⽣最初的24年⾥，⼈们⼀直叫她戴⽐──⼀个和她的漂亮容貌和优雅举⽌不相配的名字。

“我的名字总是使我觉得⾃⼰应该是⼀个厨⼦，”她抱怨道， “我真的不想要戴⽐这个名字。

” ⼀天，在填写⼀份出版⼯作职位的申请表时，这位⼩姐⼀时冲动，⽤她的中名林恩替换了她的名字戴⽐。

“这是我⼀⽣中⼲得最漂亮的⼀件事，”现在她对⼈这样说， “⼀旦我不再称⾃⼰为戴⽐，我就感到好多了…… ⽽且其他⼈也开始更认真地对待我了。

” 顺利地通过那次⼯作⾯试两年后，这位昔⽇的⼥服务员现在成了⼀位成功的杂志编辑。

朋友和同事们都叫她林恩。

当然，戴⽐(或林恩)的职业成就并不是改名带来的，但是这肯定给她带来了好处，虽说改名仅使她对⾃⼰的才能增加了⼀点点⾃信。

社会科学家认为你叫什么名字会影响你的⽣活。

从古⾄今，名字不仅被⽤来识别⼈，⽽且也被⽤来描述⼈。

《圣经》上说：⼈如其名。

此外，《韦伯斯特⼤词典》也对名字作了如下的定义：表达某种特点的⼀个或⼏个字，这种特点被认为反映了某⼈或某事的本质，或描述了某⼈某事，常表⽰嘉许或不赞成的意思。

请好好注意这⼏个词：“嘉许或不赞成”。

不管是好是坏，诸如友好或拘谨、相貌平平或漂亮妩媚等特征已经在你的名字中有所暗⽰，甚⾄他⼈在见到你本⼈之前就已经知道你的这些特征了。

名字是与特定形象相关联的，任何⼀个被称为“相貌平常的简”或“普普通通的乔”的⼈都能证明这⼀点。

后⾯的那个名字特别使我烦恼，因为我也叫乔。

有些⼈认为这个名字使我更适合于做⼀名棒球运动员⽽不是别的什么职业，⽐如说艺术评论家。

然⽽，尽管有此局限，我确实曾⼀度设法成为了⼀名艺术评论家。

I smile at my two lovely daughters and they seem so much more mature than we, their parents, when we were college sweethearts. Linda, who’s 21, had a boyfriend in her freshman year she thought she would marry, but they’re not together anymore. Melissa, who’s 19, hasn’t had a steady boyfriend yet. My daughters wond er when they will meet “The One”, their great love. They think their father and I had a classic fairy-tale romance heading for marriage from the outset. Perhaps, they’re right but it didn’t seem so at the time. In a way, love just happens when you least expect it. Who would have thought that Butch and I would end up getting married to each other? He became my boyfriend because of my shallow agenda: I wanted a cute boyfriend!2. We met through my college roommate at the university cafeteria. That fateful night,I was merely curious, but for him I think it was love at first sight. “You have beautiful eyes,” he said as he gazed at my face.He kept staring at me all night long. I really wasn’t that interested for two reasons. First, he looked like he was a really wild boy, maybe even dangerous. Second, although he was very cute, he seemed a little weird.3. Riding on his bicycle, he’d ride past my dorm as if “by accident” and pretend to be surprised to see me. I liked the attention but was cautious about his wild, dynamic personality. He had a charming way with words which would charm any girl. Fear came over me when I started to fall in love. His exciting “bad boy image” was just too tempting to resist. What was it that attracted me? I always had an excellent reputation. My concentration was solely on my studies to get superior grades. But for what? College is supposed to be a time of great learning and also some fun. I had nearly achieved a great education, and graduation was just one semester away. But I hadn’t had any fun; my life was stale with no component of fun! I needed a boyfriend. Notjust any boyfriend. He had to be cute. My goal that semester became: Be ambitious and grab the cutest boyfriend I can find.4. I worried what he’d think of me. True, we live d in a time when a dramatic shift in sexual attitudes was taking place, but I was a traditional girl who wasn’t ready for the new ways that seemed common on campus. Butch looked superb! I was not immune to his personality, but I was scared. The night when he announced to the world that I was his girlfriend, I went along with him. And then I suddenly thought: “Oh my gosh! Am I his girlfriend? How did that happen?” Then he whispered sweet words in my ear and said, “I’m going to marry you one day and I will be a lawyer. You will see.”5. I was laughing inside and said to myself, “I’d never marrythis guy. He’s a rebel without a good future. He’s my boyfriend because I hate my boring student life. I just want to have fun.”6. Sure enough, the following month, I found out he had failed all his courses. Consequently, he was going to be expelled from the university. To my disgust, he seemed resigned to his fate.I knew there was hope, so I led him to the college secretary for reconsideration.7. “You are going to graduate with a BA in political science from UPenn and proceed to the College of Law,”I told him, lodging an appeal on his behalf, which was approved. Butch was granted reconsideration. And, once we became steadies, he coordinated his studies and social life, passing all of his classes. He eventually studied law.8. Despite Butch’s somewhat wild character, at his core, he is always a perfect gentleman and deserves a lot of credit for that. True, he’d sometimes take the liberty of displaying his love by planting a kiss on my lips right in front of my astonished friends who watched and disapproved. But the truth is we had a pure and responsible relationship for seven full years. Sitting by the palm trees, hand in hand, we would listen to romantic songs, watch the sunset, and weave dreams of being together with children of our own, forever.9. Two years passed in a blur. One day, Butch took me by surprise as he knelt down and proposed marriage holding a dozen red roses! Filled with deep emotion, I confessed my love for him, “How roooomaaaantic!!” Then my brain woke up from fantasy land. I cried out, “Good heavens. No! We’re too young to tie the knot. We haven’t even graduated from college yet!”I really loved him but was pessimistic about our chances for success.10. We married five years later.11. Our faithful journey of love and learning took us down rocky roads of hardship and on smooth easy-going highways. It is a long, romantic, sometimes crazy, lovestory that sums up a 29-year long honeymoon together as a couple who are still madly in love with each other. Our love commenced with a casual attraction but bloomed into a mature love and rich life.。

2. What is the proper way to deal with this dilemma? Is more always better than less?
Evidences show that people feel less happy and more depressed when given an overabundance of choice. The tendency to keep all our doors of choices open might have damaged our life, and we can get greater pleasure and more satisfaction by focusing our energy and attention on fewer options and things. More is not necessarily better in life. We should close some doors in order to allow for the right windows of opportunity and happiness to open.

It usually takes two or three years for an entry level clerk to get promoted to a junior level position. But one may have to wait much longer (sometimes as long as 10 years or more or never) for a promotion to a middle management position. When a position is open, employees who think themselves qualified for the job can put their names forward as candidates. The management will then discuss their strength and weaknesses to make a decision as to whom to promote.3.Listening to text 1 and 24.Speaking Tasks: ask the students to get into pairs and explain to them how to carry outSpeaking Task A, then select a pair to present their views in class.Section A As His Name Is, So Is He1.

For Christians these are in two groups, an Old Testament (OT), whose original texts are Hebrew (and some Aramaic), and a New Testament (NT), whose original texts are Greek. The first five OT books are known in Hebrew as the Torah (instruction, law) and in Greek as the Pentateuch (five scrolls). The term testament reflects the Christian belief that God made two covenants with humanity, the first with the Hebrews as a chosen people, the second with the followers of Jesus Christ. When, in the 4–5c, St Jerome translated OT Hebrew and NT Greek into one language, Latin, the Christian scriptures in the West acquired a linguistic homogeneity that strengthened perceptions of the Bible as a single text providing an unbroken account of events and prophecies.2. Pre-reading ActivitiesListen to this short passage twice and answer questions①What are some of the ways names can make a difference?②In what way can teachers be guilty of name prejudice?③What does the writer suggest you do if your name does not suit you?听力原文：This writer describes ways names can make a difference. When one woman used her middle name, she felt better and her professional achievement improved. A magazine refused to print the writer’s name because it suited a baseball player more than an art expert. At a party, another woman was uncomfortable: the man she wanted the writer to introduce her to was the same one she had refused a blind date because of his name. The writer thinks we often assign name prejudices to people. One of his friends described working with some four-year-olds, and exchanging two boys’ personalities because of their names. One classroom study showed teachers give lower grades to essays written by boys with certain names than to the very same essays with only the names changed. Similarly, girls’popularity can relate to their names, so the writer suggests if your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name.Answers:①What are some of the ways names can make a difference?A good name can make one more confident. Furthermore, names attach to specific images and people often assign name prejudices to others.②In what way can teachers be guilty of name prejudice?Teachers give lower grades to essays written by boys with certain names than to the very same essays with only the names changed.③What does the writer suggest you do if your name does not suit you?If your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name.3.Work on Section AA) Structure of the Text (a method of analyzing the text structure is employed)Part I (Paras. 1-2)When using her middle name, Lynne, Debbie felt better and her professional achievement improved.Part II (Paras. 3-5)Names are attached to specific images and names with a positive sense can work for you.Part III (Paras. 6-7)People often assign name prejudices to others.Part IV (Para. 8)If your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name.B) Raise some questions to make students grasp some detailed information in the text (question and answer method is used)Part I (Paras. 1-2):Questions: -Why did Debbie not feel like her name?-How did she change her name?- What contributed to Debbie’s success?Answers: - Her name has always made her think she should be a cook.(Para. 1)-While filling out an application form for a publishing job, Debbie impulsively substituted her middle name, Lynne, for her first name .( Para. 2)-The name change contributed to her success by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talent.

TEXT ADoor closer, are you?“关门者”，你是吗？1 The next time you're deciding between rival options, one which is primary and the other which is secondary, ask yourself this question: What would Xiang Yu do?下次你要在两个难于取舍的、主要的和次要的选择之间做决定时，不妨问自己这样一个问题：项羽会怎么做？2 Xiang Y u was a Chinese imperial general in the third century BC who took his troops across the Zhang River on a raid into enemy territory. To his troops' astonishment, he ordered their cooking pots crushed and their sailing ships burned.项羽是公元前三世纪中国古代王朝的一位将军。

他带领他的部队横渡漳河，突袭进入了敌方的领地。

他下令砸锅烧船，令他的部队大为震惊。

3 He explained that he was imposing on them a necessity for attaining victory over their opponents. What he said was surely motivating, but it wasn't really appreciated by many of his loyal soldiers as they watched their vessels go up in flames. But the genius of General Xiang Yu's conviction would be validated both on the battlefield and in modern social science research. General Xiang Yu was a rare exception to the norm, a veteran leader who was highly respected for his many conquests and who achieved the summit of success.他解释道，他强加给他们的是战胜对手的必要举措。
