Lesson 1 Finding fossil man 发现化石人We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write.But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago.But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.参考译文我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情，那里的人最早学会了写字。

Royal espionage 王室谍报活动 Alfred the Great acted his own spy, visiting Danish camps disguised as a minstrel. In those days wandering minstrels were welcome everywhere. They were not fighting men, and their harp was their passport. Alfred had learned many of their ballads in his youth, and could vary his programme with acrobatic tricks and simple conjuring. While Alfred's little army slowly began to gather at Athelney, the king himself set out to penetrate the camp of Guthrum, the commander of the Danish invaders. There had settled down for the winter at Chippenham: thither Alfred went.He noticed at once that discipline was slack: the Danes had the self-confidence of conquerors, and their security precautions were casual. They lived well, on the proceeds of raids on neighboring regions.There they collected women as well as food and drink, and a life of ease had made them soft. Alfred stayed in the camp a week before he returned to Athelney. The force there assembled was trivial compared with the Danish horde. But Alfred had deduced that the Danes were no longer fit forprolonged battle: and that their commissariat had no organization, but depended on irregular raids. So, faced with the Danish advance, Alfred did not risk open battle but harried the enemy.He was constantly on the move, drawing the Danes after him. His patrols halted the raiding parties: hunger assailed the Danish army. ⼀一间谍活动中世纪的咏游歌⼿手⾦金金琴⺠民歌___魔术杂技的⾯面⼊入向那⾥里里-n 得-i 持久的微不不⾜足道需供⽽而应⾯面对尤击⼀一n⼩小规模战⽃斗Now Alfred began a long series of skirmishes -- and within a month the Danes had surrendered.

What false impression does an ocean wave convey to theobserver?Waves are the children of the struggle between ocean andatmosphere, the ongoing signatures of infinity. Rays from thesun excite and energize the atmosphere of the earth, awakeningit to flow, to movement, to rhythm, to life. The wind thenspeaks the message of the sun to the sea and the sea transmits it on through waves -- an ancient, exquisite, powerfulmessage.These ocean waves are among the earth's most complicatednatural phenomena. The basic features include a crest (thehighest point of the wave), a trough (the lowest point), aheight (the vertical distance from the trough to the crest), awave length (the horizontal distance between two wave crests),and a period (which is the time it takes a wave crest totravel one wave length).Although an ocean wave gives the impression of a wall ofwater moving in your direction, in actuality waves movethrough the water leaving the water about where it was. If thewater was moving with the wave, the ocean and everything新概念第四册课文翻译及学习笔记【 Lesson40 、41 、on it would be racing in to the shore with obviously catastrophic results.An ocean wave passing through deep water causes a particle on the surface to move in a roughly circular orbit, drawing the particle first towards the advancing wave, then up into the wave, then forward with it and then -- as the wave leaves the particles behind -- back to its starting point again.From both maturity to death, a wave is subject to the same laws as any other 'living' thing. For a time it assumes a miraculous individuality that, in the end, is reabsorbed into the great ocean of life.The undulating waves of the open sea are generated by three natural causes ： wind, earth movements or tremors, and the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Once waves have been generated, gravity is the force that drives them in a continual attempt to restore the ocean surface to a flat plain.from World Magazine (BBC Enterprises)New words and expressions 生词和短语】signature n. 签名，标记infinity n. 无穷ray n. 光线energize v. 给与 ... 能量rhythm n. 节奏transmit v. 传送exquisite adj. 高雅的phenomena n. 现象crest n. 浪峰trough n. 波谷vertical adj. 垂直的horizontal adj. 水平的actuality n. 现实catastrophic adj. 大灾难的particle n. 微粒maturity n. 成熟undulate v. 波动，形成波浪tremor n. 震颤gravitational adj. 地心吸力的课文注释】1.transmit vt.①传达例句： Gypsies frequently transmit recipes orally within the family.吉普赛人经常以口头形式把秘方世代相传。

最新新概念第四册Lesson46~48课文翻译及学习笔记新概念第四册Lesson46课文翻译及学习笔记【课文】First listen and then answer the following question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Who, according to the author, are 'Fortune's favoured children'?A gifted American psychologist has said, 'Worry is a spasm of the emotion; the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go.' It is useless to argue with the mind in this condition. The stronger the will, the more futile the task. One can only gently insinuate something else into its convulsive grasp. And if this something else is rightly chosen, if it really attended by the illumination of another field of interest, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the old undue grip relaxes and the process of recuperation and repair begins.The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore a policy of the first importance to a public man. But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will. The growth of alternative mental interests is a long process. The seeds must be carefully chosen; they must fall on good ground; they must be sedulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed.To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: 'I will take an interest in this or that.' Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected withhis daily work, and yet get hardly any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual labourer, tired out with a hard week's sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball or Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.As for the unfortunate people who can command everything they want, who can gratify every caprice and lay their hands on almost every objectof desire -- for them a new pleasure, a new excitement if only an additional satiation. In vain they rush frantically round from place to place, trying to escape from avenging boredom by mere clatter and motion. For them discipline in one form or another is the most hopeful path.It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human being are divided into two classes: first,those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune's favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays, when they come, are grudged as enforcedinterruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes, the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those work is their pleasure are those who and most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.WINSTON CHURCHLL Painting as a Pastime【New words and expressions 生词和短语】gifted adj. 有天才的psychologist n. 心理学家spasm n. 一阵(感情)发作futile adj. 无用的insinuate v. 便潜入，暗示convulsive adj. 起痉挛的illumination n. 启发，照明undue adj. 不造当的grip n. 紧张recuperation n. 休息improvise v. 临时作成sedulously adv. 孜孜不倦地vivify v. 使生气勃勃aggravate v. 加剧trifling adj. 微小的gratify v. 便满意caprice n. 任性satiation n. 满足frantically adv. 狂乱地avenge v. 替…报复boredom n. 厌烦clatter n. 喧闹的谈话sustenance n. 生计appetite n. 欲望grudge v. 怨恨absorbing adj. 引人入胜的banish v. 排除，放弃【课文注释】1.catch hold of 抓住……let ... go 放掉……2.The stronger the will, the more futile the task 这种意志越是强烈，这种尝试越是徒劳。
新概念英语四册课堂笔记Lesson46：TheMenaceofUrbanExplosion
L46 The Menace of Urban Explosion from The ListenerAfter millennia of growth so slow that each generation hardly noticed it, the cities are suddenly racing off in every direction. The world population goes up by two per cent a year, city population goes up by four per cent a year, but in big cities the rate may be as much as five and six per cent a year. To give only one example of almost visible acceleration, Athens today grows by three dwellings And 100 square metres of road every hour. There is no reason to believe that this pace will slacken. As technology gradually swallows up all forms of work, industrial and agricultural, the rural areas are going to shrink, just as they have shrunk in Britain, and the vast majority of their people will move into the city. In fact, in Britain now only about four or five per cent of people live in rural areas and depend upon them; all through the developing world the vanguard of the rural exodus has reached the urban fringes already, and there they huddle, migrants in the favellas and barrios of Latin America, in shanty towns in Africa, in those horrifying encampments one sees on the outskirts of Calcutta and Bombay. We are heading towards an urban world.This enormous increase will go ahead whatever we do, and we have to remember that the new cities devour space. People now acquire far more goods and things. There is a greater density of household goods; they demand more services such as sewage and drainage. Above all the car changes everything: rising incomes and rising populations can make urban car density increase by something like four and five per cent in a decade; traffic flows rise to fill whatever scale of highways are provided for them. The car also has a curious ambivalence: it creates and then it destroys mobility. The car tempts people further out and then gives them the appalling problem of getting back. It makes them believe they can spend Sunday in Brighton, but makes it impossible for them to return before, say, two in the morning. People go further and further away to reach open air and countryside which continuously recedes from them, and just as their working weeks decline and they begin to have more time for leisure, they find they cannot get to the open spaces or the recreation or the beaches which they now have the time to enjoy.Recently some studies were made in the behavior of mice when exposed to more than a certain degree of density, frustration, and noise, and the mice just became deranged. I think some sociologists wonder whether it might not be the same for men. This combination of very high density of population, goods and services, and machines, all increasing with almost bruta1 speed, does account for some really antisocial tendencies in modern urban growth。

Rays from the sun excite and energize the atmosphere of the earth, awakening it to flow, to movement, to rhythm, to life. The wind then speaks the message of the sun to the sea and the sea transmits it on through waves -- an ancient, exquisite, powerful message.These ocean waves are among the earth"s most plicated natural phenomena. The basic features include a crest (thehighest point of the wave), a trough (the lowest point), a height (the vertical distance from the trough to the crest), a wave length (the horizontal distance between two wave crests), and a period (which is the time it takes a wave crest to travel one wave length).Although an ocean wave gives the impression of a wall of water moving in your direction, in actuality waves move through the water leaving the water about where it was. If the water was moving with the wave, the ocean and everything on it would be racing in to the shore with obviously catastrophic results.An ocean wave passing through deep water causes a particle on the surface to move in a roughly circular orbit, drawing the particle first towards the advancing wave, then up into the wave, then forward with it and then -- as the wave leaves the particles behind -- back to its starting point again.From both maturity to death, a wave is subject to the same laws as any other "living" thing. For a time it assumes a miraculous individuality that, in the end, is reabsorbed into the great ocean of life.The undulating waves of the open sea are generated by three natural causes: wind, earth movements or tremors, and the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Once waves have been generated, gravity is the force that drives them in a continual attempt to restore the ocean surface to a flat plain.from World Magazine (BBC Enterprises)signature n. 签名，标记infinity n. 无穷ray n. 光线energize v. 给与...能量rhythm n. 节奏transmit v. 传送exquisite adj. 高雅的phenomena n. 现象crest n. 浪峰trough n. 波谷vertical adj. 垂直的horizontal adj. 水平的actuality n. 现实catastrophic adj. 大灾难的 particle n. 微粒maturity n. 成熟undulate v. 波动，形成波浪 tremor n. 震颤gravitational adj. 地心吸力的1.transmit vt.①传达例句：Gypsies frequently transmit recipes orally within the family.吉普赛人经常以口头形式把秘方世代相传。

新概念英语第四册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson46 【课文】Punctuality is a necessary habit in all public affairs incivilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in state of chaos. Only in asparsely-populated rural community is it possible to disregardit. In ordinary living, there can be some tolerance ofunpunctuality. The intellectual, who is working on someabstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organizedfor the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late fora dinner party. But people are often reproached forunpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine.It is hard for energetic, quick-minded people to waste time,so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting outto keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way,like punctured tires, diversions of traffic, sudden descentof fog, they will be on time. They are often more industrious,useful citizens than those who are never late. The over-punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual.The guest who arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating habit.The only thing to do was ask them to come half an hour laterthan the other guests. Then they arrived just when we wantedthem.If you are citing a train, it is always better to becomfortably early than even a fraction of a minted too late.Although being early may mean wasting a little time, thiswill be less than if you miss the train and have to wait anhour or more for the next one; and you avoid the frustrationof arriving at the very moment when the train is drawing outof the station and being unable to get on it. An even harder situation is to be on the platform in good time for a trainand still to see it go off without you. Such an experiencebefell a certain young girl the first time she was travelingalone.She entered the station twenty minutes before the trainwas due, since her parents had impressed upon her that itwould be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends withwhom she was going to stay to make two journeys to meet her.She gave her luggage to a porter and showed him her ticket.To her horror he said that she was two hours too soon. She feltin her handbag for the piece of paper on which herfather had written down all the details of the journey andgave it to the porter. He agreed that a train did come into the station at the time on the paper and that it did stop, but onlyto take on mail, not passengers. The girl asked to see a timetable, feeling sure that her father could not have madesuch a mistake. The porter went to fetch one and arrive backwith the station master, who produced it with a flourish andpointed out a microscopic 'o' beside the time of the arrival ofthe train at his station; this little 'o'indicated that the train only stopped for mail. Just as thatmoment the train came into the station. The girl, tearsstreaming down her face, begged to be allowed to slip intothe guard's van. But the station master was adamant ： rules could not be broken and she had to watch that train disappear towards her destination while she was left behind.【课文翻译】准时是文明社会中实行一切社交活动时必须养成的习惯。
不准时将一事无成，事事都会陷入混乱不堪的境地。
只有在人口稀少的农村，才能够忽视准时的习惯。
在日常生活中人们能够容忍一定水准的不准时。
一个专心钻研某个复杂问题的知识分子，为了搞好手头的研究，要把一切都协调一致，组织周密。
所以，他要是赴宴迟到了会得到谅解。
但有些人不准时常常因为掐钟点所致，他们常常受到责备，精力充沛、头脑敏捷的人极不愿意浪费时间，所以他们常想做完一件事后再去赴约。
要是路上没有发生如爆胎、改道、突然起雾等意外事故，他们决不会迟到。
他们与那些从不迟到的人相比，常常是更勤奋有用的公民。
早到的人同迟到的人一样令人讨厌。
客人提前半小时到达是令人讨厌的。
我家有几个朋友就有这有令人恼火的习惯。
的办法就是请他们比别的客人晚来半小时。
这样，他们能够恰好在我们要求的时间到达。
如果赶火车，早到总比晚到好，哪怕早到一会儿也好。
虽然早到可能意味着浪费一点时间，但这比误了火车等上一个多小时坐下班车浪费的时间要少，而且能够避免那种正好在火车驶出站时赶到车站，因上不去车而感到的沮丧。
更难堪的情况是虽然即时赶到站台上，却眼睁睁地看着那趟火车启动，把你抛下。
一个小姑娘第一次单独出门就碰到了这种情况。
在火车进站 20 分钟前她就进了车站。
因为她的父母再三跟她说，如果误了这趟车，她的东道主朋友就得接她两趟，这是不应该的。
她把行李交给搬运工并给他看了车票。
搬运工说她早到了两个小时，她听后大吃一惊。
她从钱包里摸出一张纸条，那上面有她父亲对这次旅行详细说明，她把这张纸条交给了搬运工。
搬运工说，正如纸条所说，确有一趟火车在那个时刻到站，但它只停站装邮件，不载旅客。
姑娘要求看到时刻表，因为她相信父亲不能把这么大的事弄错。
搬运工跑回去取时刻表，同时请来了站长。
站长拿着时刻表一挥手，指着那趟列车到站时刻旁边一个很小的圆圈标记。
这个标记表示列车是为装邮件而停车。
正在这时，火车进站了。
女孩泪流满面，央求让她不声不响地到押车员车厢里去算了。
但站长态度坚决，规章制度不能破坏，姑娘只得眼看那趟火车消逝在她要去的方向而撇下了她。
