第二单元价值观课文A有钱是否意味着过一种完全不同于普遍人的生活?看来未必，如果你的名字叫萨姆·沃尔顿。

美国乡巴佬首富阿特·哈里斯他穿上餐服准备到美国首富的生日聚会上去担任侍者。

在他的想象里，他定然会看到：豪宅，主人天天要坐的罗尔斯一罗伊斯轿车，戴着钻石颈圈的家犬，到处可见的仆人。

他动身前往那所宅邸，开着车穿过本顿维尔镇冷冷清清的市政广场。

本顿维尔镇是阿肯色州一个仅有9，920人口的偏远小镇，萨姆·沃尔顿就在该镇从一个专卖廉价商品的小店起家，逐渐发展成为价值60亿美金资产的廉价连锁店沃尔玛公司。

侍者上了一条乡间车道，转过一个标着“萨姆和海伦·沃尔顿”的信箱，在一幢林间住宅前跳下了车。

房子还不错，但绝对不是宫殿。

家具略显陈旧，一辆旧的轻便货车停在车库里，褐色的捕禽猎犬在院子里窜来窜去。

根本没看见任何仆人的身影。

“太令人失望了，”侍者杰米·鲍尤叹道。

只有在美国，一个亿万富翁才能像普通百姓一样，安稳地过着普普通通的日子。

67岁的廉价店大王萨姆·穆尔·沃尔顿仍然开着他那辆红白两色的1979年出厂的福特牌轻型货车穿行在弯弯曲曲的乡间小道上，身边坐着他的捕禽猎犬。

当狩猎季节来临时，他跟别人一样在当地的沃尔玛商店排队购买猎枪子弹。

“他不要任何特殊待遇，”夜班经理乔尼·贝克说，他费了好大的劲才如公司最近一份备忘录所规定的那样对自己的老板以名相称。

这里几乎没人去想他的亿万身价，他们称他为萨姆先生；丝毫不以他的平民作风为怪。

“他还是那个在市政广场开廉价店，为了自己的梦想每天工作18个小时的人，一点没变，”市长理查德·霍巴克说。

人人都说他为人友善，性情开朗，是个好邻居；他尽力与人们融洽相处，从不炫耀，也从不盛气凌人。

无论他星期六晚上的夜生活过得多晚，星期日你还是能在教堂见到他。

当然是坐在他的包座上，对吗?“我们不设包座，”当地教堂牧师戈登·加林顿第三说。

Unit112 One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.美国人的立场可以概括起来这么说，我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。

我们两种文化的差异也可以从我们各自所怀的忧虑中显示出来。

中国老师担心，如果年轻人不及早掌握技艺，就有可能一辈子掌握不了；另一方面，他们并不同样地急于促进创造力的发展。

美国教育工作者则担心，除非从一开始就发展创造力，不然创造力就有可能永不再现；而另一方面，技艺可于日后获得。

13 However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).但我并不想夸大其辞。

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.美国人的立场可以概括起来这么说，我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。

我们两种文化的差异也可以从我们各自所怀的忧虑中显示出来。

中国老师担心，如果年轻人不及早掌握技艺，就有可能一辈子掌握不了；另一方面，他们并不同样地急于促进创造力的发展。

美国教育工作者则担心，除非从一开始就发展创造力，不然创造力就有可能永不再现；而另一方面，技艺可于日后获得。

Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have. My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles. But it is still dependable. My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing. My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors. My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.但我觉得仅仅一个突然的想法能得到别人有的物质财富。

全新版大学英语第二版综合教程2课文翻译《全新版大学英语第二版综合教程 2》中的课文涵盖了丰富多样的主题和内容，为学习者提供了广泛的语言输入和文化视角。

以下是对部分课文的翻译，希望能对您的学习有所帮助。

课文一：《成长》这篇课文讲述了一个年轻人在成长过程中的经历和感悟。

“当我还是个孩子的时候，世界似乎总是充满了奇迹和神秘。

每一天都是一次新的冒险，每一个角落都隐藏着未知的惊喜。

”“随着年龄的增长，我开始意识到生活并非总是如我所愿。

困难和挫折接踵而至，曾经的梦想似乎变得遥不可及。

”“然而，正是在这些艰难的时刻，我学会了坚持和努力。

我明白了成功并非一蹴而就，而是需要付出持续不断的努力。

”“成长让我懂得了珍惜身边的人和事，也让我更加勇敢地面对未来的挑战。

”课文二：《友谊》“真正的友谊是一种珍贵的财富，它能在我们最需要的时候给予支持和安慰。

”“朋友是那些在你犯错时，不会嘲笑你，而是帮助你改正错误的人。

他们会在你成功时为你欢呼，在你失败时给你鼓励。

”“友谊不是建立在利益和交换之上，而是基于真诚、信任和相互理解。

一个真正的朋友会倾听你的心声，与你分享快乐和悲伤。

”“在这个快节奏的现代社会中，我们常常忙于工作和生活，忽略了与朋友的联系。

但当我们回首往事，会发现真正的友谊是那些经得起时间考验的情感纽带。

”课文三：《文化差异》“不同的国家和民族有着独特的文化，这些文化差异在日常生活的方方面面都有所体现。

”“饮食文化就是一个明显的例子。

在中国，人们喜欢围坐在一张大桌子旁共享美食；而在西方国家，分餐制更为常见。

”“礼仪方面的差异也不容忽视。

在某些文化中，直接的眼神接触被视为尊重；而在另一些文化中，可能会被认为是不礼貌的。

”“理解和尊重文化差异是促进跨文化交流和建立和谐世界的关键。

只有当我们摒弃偏见，以开放的心态去学习和欣赏其他文化时，才能真正实现文化的交融与共同发展。

”课文四：《科技与生活》“科技的飞速发展给我们的生活带来了翻天覆地的变化。

课文译文UNIT 1TextA中国式的学习风格1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。

我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。

酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。

由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。

本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。

他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。

由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。

本杰明一点也不在意。

他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。

我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。

他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。

但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。

饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。

他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。

然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。

我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。

因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。

两种不同的学习方式我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。

既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

为什么不教他怎么做呢？他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以（也应该）示给他看。

全新版大学英语第二版综合教程2课文及翻译全新版大学英语第二版综合教程 2 是许多大学生在英语学习道路上的重要教材。

这本教程的课文涵盖了丰富多样的主题，从日常生活到学术研究，从文化传统到社会现象，为学生提供了广阔的知识视野和语言学习素材。

在“Unit 1 Ways of Learning”中，课文通过讲述一位父亲试图教导儿子骑自行车的经历，探讨了不同的学习方式和理念。

父亲坚持按照自己的方法指导儿子，却未能成功。

最终儿子通过自己的摸索和尝试，掌握了骑车的技巧。

这篇课文让我们明白，每个人都有适合自己的学习方式，有时候放手让学习者自己去探索和尝试，可能会取得更好的效果。

“Unit 2 Values”里的课文则聚焦于价值观的讨论。

通过描述不同人物在面对利益和道德抉择时的表现，引导学生思考什么是真正重要的价值观。

例如，在商业世界中，是追求短期的利润最大化，还是坚守诚信和社会责任？这样的思考有助于学生在成长过程中树立正确的价值观，做出符合自己内心信念的选择。

“Unit 3 The Generation Gap”探讨了代际之间的差异和沟通问题。

课文中描绘了父母与子女在观念、生活方式和目标追求上的种种不同，以及由此产生的矛盾和冲突。

然而，也指出了通过理解、尊重和积极的沟通，代际之间可以跨越鸿沟，建立更加和谐的关系。

在翻译这些课文时，需要准确把握原文的意思，同时要考虑到中英文语言习惯和文化背景的差异。

例如，在一些具有特定文化内涵的词汇和表达上，不能简单地进行字面翻译，而要进行适当的解释和转换，以使译文更符合目标语言的读者的理解。

以“Unit 4 The Virtual World”中的一段为例：“The Internet has transformed how we communicate, do business, and access information Ithas opened up a world of possibilities, but it has also brought along new challenges and concerns” 翻译为“互联网改变了我们交流、做生意和获取信息的方式。
