新编英语教程5课文翻译(unit1-15)
新编英语教程5课文翻译(unit1-15) Unit 1 恰到好处你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。
语言也是如此。
一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。
差不多的词，不准确的短语，摸棱两可的表达，含糊不清的修饰，都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。
他会一直思考，直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。
The French have an apt（贴切的） phrase for this. They speak of “le mot juste,”法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思，即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。
有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事，比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。
在浩瀚的词海中，词与词之间有着微妙的区别，要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。
这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题，还需要人们绞尽脑汁，要观察敏锐。
选词是认识过程的一个步骤，也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。
有人说：“在我思想未成文之前，我怎么知道自己的想法？”这听起来似乎很离谱，但它确实很有道理。
It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by thesatisfaction that finding them brings. The e某act use of language gives us mastery（掌握） over the material we aredealing with. Perhaps you have been asked “What sort of a manis so-and-so（等）?” You begin: “Oh, I think he’s quite anice chap （家伙）but he’s rather…” and then you hesitate trying to find a word or phrase to e某press what it is abouthim that you do n’t like, that constitutes（构成） hislimitation. When you find the right phrase you feel that your conception of the man is clearer and sharper.寻找恰如其分的词的确是件不容易的事。

William Carlos Williams (September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963) was an American poet closely associated with modernism and imagism. Williams is often counted as being among a group of four major American poets who were all born in a twelve-year period that began in 1874. The group also consists of Robert Frost, who was born in 1874; Wallace Stevens, who was born in 1879; and Hilda "H.D." Doolittle, who was born in 1886. Of these four, Williams died last, several weeks after Frost. (Stevens was first to die, in 1955, while H.D. lived until 1961).

profusion
If there is a profusion of something or if it occurs in profusion, there is a very large quantity or variety of it. Hundreds of flowers are blooming in profusion. 百花怒放。 A profusion of leaves bursts out on trees in the springtime. 春天许许多多的叶子从树上冒出来.

As doctors often do I took a trial shot at it as a point of departure. Has she had a sore throat? Both parents answered me together, No . . . No, she says her throat don't hurt her. Does your throat hurt you? added the mother to the child. But the little girl's expression didn't change nor did she move her eyes from my face. Have you looked? I tried to, said the mother, but I couldn't see.

大学英语综合教程4Unit 1Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。
他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。
人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物，无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。
我们与大自然血肉相连，离开大自然，我们将无法生存。
Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中，同时也在改变着大自然。

大学英语unit1课文翻译 (2)
随着社会的发展，人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少，而间接的依赖却越来越多。我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中，他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。然而，尽管工具不甚完备，他们却能同心协力，顽强工作，并总是有所收获。在与人类的相互作用中，大自然也发生了改变。森林被破坏了，耕地面积增加了。大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。譬如，森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的，因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的，所谓“文明”，就是人类在哪里建立家园，耕耘土地，哪里的森林就被砍伐。
As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows. Ourdistant ancestorslived in fear of nature's destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtainthe merest daily necessities.However, despite their imperfect tools, theyworked together stubbornly , collectively,and were able toattain results. Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased. Nature with itselemental forceswas regarded as something hostile to man. The forest, for example, was something wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat . This was all donein the name of civilization, which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth wascultivated, where the forest had been cut down.

‘Unit 1 Text A The Use of Force他们是我的新病人，我所知道的只有名字，奥尔逊。
They were new patients to me, all I had was the name, Olson.请您尽快赶来，我女儿病得很重。
“Please come down as soon as you can, my daughter is very sick.”当我到达时，孩子的母亲迎接了我，这是一位看上去惊恐不安的妇人，衣着整洁却一脸忧伤的神色她只是说，这位就是医生吗？When I arrived I was met by the mother, a big startled looking woman, very clean and apologetic who merely said, Is this the doctor?然后带我进了屋。
And let me in.在后面，她又说到，请你一定要原谅我们，医生，我们让她呆在厨房里，那儿暖和，这里有时很潮湿。
In the back, she added. Y ou must excuse us, doctor, we have her in the kitchen where it is warm. It is very damp here sometimes.在厨房的桌子旁边，这个孩子穿得严严实实的，坐在她父亲的腿上。
The child was fully dressed and sitting on here father’s lap near the kitchen table.他父亲试图站起来，但我向他示意不用麻烦，然后我脱下外套开始检查。
He tried to get up, but I motioned for him not to bother, took off my overcoat and started to look things over.我能够觉察出他们都很紧张，而且用怀疑的眼光上下打量着我。
I could see that they were all very nervous, eyeing me up and down distrustfully.在这种情形下，他们通常不会提供太多的情况，而是等着我告诉他们病情，这就是为什么他们会在我身上花3美元。
As often, in such cases, they weren’t telling me more than they had to, it was up to me to tell them; that’s why they were spending three dollars on me.这个孩子用她那冷漠而镇定的目光目不转睛地盯着我，脸上没有任何表情。
The child was fairly eating me up with her cold, steady eyes, and no expression on her face whatever.她纹丝不动，内心似乎很平静。
这是一个非常惹人喜爱的小东西，外表长得象小牛一样结实。
She did not move and seemed, inwardly, quiet; an unusually attractive little thing, and as strong as a heifer in appearance. 但是她的脸发红，而且呼吸急促，我知道她在发着高烧。
But her face was flushed, she was breathing rapidly, and I realized that she had a high fever.她长着一头漂亮浓密的金发，就像刊登在广告插页上和周日报纸图片版上的那些孩子一样。
She had magnificent blonde hair, in profusion. One of those picture children often reproduced in advertising leaflets and the photogravure sections of the Sunday papers.她发烧已经3天了，她父亲开口说，我们不知道是什么原因。
She’s had a fever for three days, began the father and we don’t know what it comes from.我太太给她吃了一些药，你知道，大家都是这样做的，可这些药根本不管用，而且，附近有很多人都生了病，所以我们想请您最好给她检查一下，然后告诉我们是怎么一回事。
My wife has given her t hings, you know, like people do, but it don’t do no good. And there’s been a lot of sickness around. So we tho’t you’d better look her over and tell us what is the matter.像医生们经常做的那样，我问了个问题，想以此来猜测一下病症所在。
As doctors often do I took a trial shot at it as a point of departure. Has she had a sore throat?父母两人一起回答说，没有……没有，她说她的嗓子不疼。
Both parents answered me together, No…No, she says her throat don’t hurt her.你嗓子疼吗？母亲又问了一下孩子。
Does your throat hurt you? Added the mother to the child.女孩的表情没有任何变化，而她的目光却一直没有从我的脸上移开。
But the little girl’s expression didn’t change nor did she move her eyes from my face.你看过她的嗓子了吗？Have you looked?我想看，孩子的母亲说，但看不见。
I tried to, said the mother but II couldn’t see.这个月碰巧她上学的那个学校已经有好几例白喉病。
虽然到目前为止没有人说出这件事，但很显然，我们心里都想到了。
As it happens we had been having a number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which this child went during that month and we were all, quite apparently, thinking of that, though no one had as yet spoken of the thing.好了，我说，我们先看看嗓子吧。
Well, I said, suppose we take a look at the throat first.我以医生特有的职业方式微笑着，叫着孩子的名字。
我说，来吧，玛蒂尔达，张开嘴，让我看一下你的嗓子。
I smiled in my best professional manner and asking for the child’s first name I said, come on, Mathilda, open your mouth and let’s take a look at your throat.没有任何反应。
Nothing doing.哦，来吧，我劝道，张大你的嘴，让我看看。
看，我说着把两只手伸开，我的手里没有东西，张大嘴，让我看看。
A w, come on, I coaxed, just open your mouth wide and let me take a look. Look, I said opening both hands wide, I haven’t anything in my hands. Just open up and let me see.他是一个多好的人呀，她的母亲插话道。
你看他对你多好呀，来，听话。
他不会伤害你的。
Such a nice man, put in the mother. Look how kind he is to you. Come on, do what he tells you to. He won’t hurt you.听到这里我狠狠地咬了咬牙，要是他们没用“伤害”这个词，我也许能做点什么，但是我没有着急或恼怒，而是慢声细语地说着话，一边再次靠近这个孩子。
As that I ground my teeth in disgust. If only they wouldn’t use the word “hurt” I might be able to get somewhere. But I did not allow myself to be hurried or disturbed but speaking quietly and slowly I approached the child again.我刚将椅子拉近一点，突然，她像猫一样双手本能地朝我的两眼抓去，我差一点被她抓到。
As I moved my chair a little nearer suddenly with one catlike movement both her hands clawed instinctively for my eyes and she almost reached them too.好在她只是打掉了我的眼镜，虽然眼镜没有碎，但已落到了离我几英尺远的厨房地板上。
In fact she knocked my glasses flying and they fell, though unbroken, several feet away from me on the kitchen floor.父母两人都非常尴尬，充满歉意，你这个坏孩子，母亲一边说，一边抓着她，并摇晃着她的一只手，你看看你做的事。
这么一个好人。
Both the mother and father almost turned themselves inside out in embarrassment and apology. Y ou bad girl, said the mother, taking her and shaking here by one arm. Look what you’ve done. The nice man…看在上帝的份上，我打断了她的话，请不要再在她面前说我是一个好人。
