UNIT 1As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier.课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。
Some Strategies for Learning EnglishLearning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort.学习英语绝非易事。
它需要刻苦和长期努力。
Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。
以下便是其中的几种。
1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。

The boy was at first delighted to discover the present his mother had hidden away as his Christmas gift. But then he began to worry that his mother would now no longer have the pleasure of giving him a surprise. What was he to do?发现了母亲为他藏好的圣诞礼物男孩起先很高兴。
但接着他就开始担心,妈妈将因此失去给他一个惊喜的喜悦。
他该怎么办呢?Magician at Stretching a Dollar Russell Baker 1RT That December, with Christmas approaching, she was out at work and Doris was in the kitchen when I let myself into her bedroom one afternoon in search of a safety pin. Since her bedroom opened onto a community hallway, she kept the door locked, but needing the pin, I took the key from its hiding place, unlocked the door and stepped in. Standing against the wall was a big, black bicycle with balloon tires. I recognized it instantly. It was the same second-hand bike I'd been admiring in a Baltimore Street shop window. I'd even asked about the price. It was a shock. Something like $15. Somehow my mother had scraped together enough for a down payment and meant to surprise me with the bicycle on Christmas morning.那年的十二月,圣诞节临近了。

18第五单元Translation of Text A夜莺与玫瑰1 “她说若是我给她带去红玫瑰,她愿意和我一路跳舞。
”年轻的学生哭喊道,“但满院子都没有一朵红玫瑰。
”2 这番话给在老橡树上自己巢中的夜莺听见了,她通过橡树叶张望,心中惊讶。
3 “在我的花园没有红玫瑰!”他哭着说,他美丽的大眼满含泪水:“啊,圣贤之书我已读完,哲学奥妙尽藏心中,但是缺少一朵红玫瑰却使我的生活瞬时暗淡!”4 “终于有一名重情感的人了,”夜莺说,“我曾日日夜夜为他歌唱,此刻我终于见到他了。
”5 “王子明晚将举行一个舞会,”年轻的学生喃喃道:“我的爱人也将前去我若为他采得红玫瑰,她将和我一直跳舞到天亮。
我会揽她入怀,而她也会偎依在我的肩头。
但在我的花园没有红玫瑰,因此我只能独自坐那儿黯然神伤,心痛超级。
”6 “他确实是一个重情感的人,”夜莺说。
真爱是美好的,它价胜千金。
7 “乐工们将奏乐助兴,”年轻的学生道,“我的爱人将和着竖琴和小提琴声翩翩起舞。
她的身姿是如此的轻盈宛似蜻蜓点水般。
但他是不会和我一路跳的,因为我没有红玫瑰献给她。
”于是他扑倒在草地上,双手捂着脸放声痛哭起来。
8 “他为何哭泣呢?”一只绿色的蜥蜴翘着尾巴通过他身旁时问道。
9 “是啊,到底为何呢?”一只在阳光下挥动着翅膀的蝴蝶问道。
10 “到底为何呢?”一朵雏菊用低沉的声音对他的邻居说道.11 “他为一只红玫瑰哭泣。
”夜莺说。
12 “为了一朵红玫瑰?”他们叫道,“太荒谬了!”那本来就有点愤世嫉俗的小蜥蜴肆无顾忌的笑道。
可是夜莺了解男孩的悲痛,默默无声地坐在橡树上。
13 突然她张开自己棕色的双翼,向空中飞去。
她犹如影子般穿越树林,又如影子般越过花园。
14 在草地的中心一棵美丽的红玫瑰树傲然屹立。
她看到后当即向它飞去:“给我一朵红玫瑰,”她高声喊道,“我将为你献上我最甜美的歌声。
”15 可是树儿摇了摇头。
16 “我的玫瑰是白色的,”它说,“白如海之浪花,白胜高山千年积雪。

20141018第八单元Translation of Text A陌生人的仁慈1 一个夏天,我正驱车从我的家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍湖市前往新奥尔良。
行驶到沙漠中部时,我遇到了一个正站在路边的年轻人。
他竖起拇指请求搭车,另一只手里握着一个汽油罐。
我径直从他身边开了过去。
在这个国家曾经有一个时期,如果你对一个需要帮助的人置之不理,那你就被认为是一个愚蠢的人。
但现在,你帮助了别人,你就是一个愚蠢的人。
由于到处隐藏着歹徒、吸毒成瘾者、强奸犯和小偷,“我不想惹麻烦”就成了民族的箴言2 驶过了几个州后,我仍然在想着那个搭便车的旅行者。
把他束手无策留在沙漠并没有让我太烦扰。
让我烦扰的是,我是多么轻易的就下了这个决定。
我甚至都没有把脚从加速器上抬起来。
3 还会有人再停下来么?我很想知道。
我想起布兰奇-杜包尔斯的著名的台词“我总是非常依赖陌生人的仁慈”。
如今还会有人依赖陌生人的仁慈检验此事的一个方法就是让一个人不带钱,只依靠美国同胞的好心,从一个海岸到另一个海岸去旅行。
他将发现什么样的美国人呢?谁将会给他食物、提供住处、载他一路?4 这个想法激起我的好奇心。
5 在我步入37岁的那周,我意识到在我的一生中还从未冒过险。
因此我决定身无分文的从太平洋到大西洋旅行。
在这个金钱万能的国家,这将会是一次不花钱的旅行。
我将只接受别人提供的搭车、食物以及休息场所。
我最终的目的地将是被卡罗莱纳周的恐怖角,这是我整个旅行要克服的所有恐惧的一个象征。
6 1994年9月6日,我早早的起了床,动身前往金门桥。
我背上背了50镑重的行李和一个向过往的车辆展示我此行目的地的标牌“美国”。
7 六周的时间,我免费搭车82次,穿越了14个省4223英里。
当我旅行时,人们总是提醒我关于其他地方的事情。
在蒙大拿州,他们告诉我要提防怀俄明州的牛仔。
在内布拉斯加州,他们说艾奥瓦州的人不像他们那么友好。
然而,我所到之处受到的是善意的款待。
我对于人们欣然帮助一个陌生人而感到吃惊,甚至当这些行为与他们自己的利益背道而驰的时候。

T e x t B o o k 4Unit 1TextTwo college-age boys, unaware that making money usually involves hard work, are tempted by an advertisement that promises them an easy way to earn a lot of money. The boys soon learn that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. 一个大学男孩,不清楚赚钱需要付出艰苦的劳动,被一份许诺轻松赚大钱的广告吸引了。
男孩们很快就明白,如果事情看起来好得不像真的,那多半确实不是真的。
BIG BUCKS THE EASY WAY轻轻松松赚大钱John G. Hubbell"You ought to look into this," I suggested to our two college-age sons. "It might be a way to avoid the indignity of having to ask for money all the time." I handed them some magazines in a plastic bag someone had hung on our doorknob.“你们该看看这个,”我向我们的两个读大学的儿子建议道。
“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话,这兴许是一种办法。
”我将挂在我们门把手上的、装在一个塑料袋里的几本杂志拿给他们。

2014101018第十单元Translation of Text A曼德拉的菜园1 1977年初,当局宣布解除集体劳动,给我们安排了一些院内的工作,因此我们可以在自己的这片区域里打发时间了。
结束了体力劳动就像解放了一样。
现在我每天可以读书、谢辛和我的狱友讨论问题,或者准备法律文件。
时间上的自由还得以让我继续从事在罗本岛上培养起来的两大爱好:园艺和网球。
2 为了在狱中生存,你必须使自己在日常生活中得到满足。
你可以通过把衣服洗的特别干净,把门前过道打扫得一尘不染,或把自己的牢房整理出尽可能大的空间这些方法使自己感到充实。
同一个在监狱外的人为自己完成重要任务而感到骄傲一样,监狱的人也可以完成未完成一件小事而同样感到自豪。
3 几乎刚在罗本岛被判刑时起,我就向当局提出申请,我在院子里开垦一块菜园。
多年来,他们没有给出任何原因,却一直拒绝我的请求。
但最终他们让步了,这样我们能够在远处墙根下一块狭长的地面上划出小片面积的地方做菜园。
4 院子里的土壤很干,而且石头很多。
这个院子在建起来之前是个垃圾场,因此为了开辟这个园子,我的清除掉大量的石头,给植物留出生长的空间。
当时,一些狱友开玩笑说我骨子里是个矿工,整天呆在一片荒地里,把自己的空闲时间都花费在挖院子里的地了。
5 狱方给我提供了种子。
开始时,我种了番茄、辣椒和洋葱——都是些不需要肥沃的土壤或经常照料的生命力很强的植物。
早期的收成不好,但很快状况就有了改善。
狱方不会后悔允许我开辟菜园种菜的,因为菜园的蔬菜长的好起来后,我就经常给看守们一些最好的番茄和洋葱。
6 虽然我一直喜爱园艺,但直到入狱后我才得到一片属于自己的菜园。
在园艺方面的第一次经历是在海尔堡,那是大学时作为体力劳动要求的一部分,我在一位教授家的院子里干活,在那里我享受着脑力劳动之余和土地之间的接触。
但自从我到约翰内斯堡学习并工作以后,就在没有时间和没有地方种菜了。
7 我开始订阅一些关于园艺方面的书籍。

第一单元我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。
故事发生在印度。
某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。
跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。
席间,一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。
年轻的女士认为,妇女已经有所进步,不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上;少校则不以为然。
“女人一遇到危急情况,”少校说,反应便是尖叫。
而男人虽然也可能想叫,但比起女人来,自制力却略胜一筹。
这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。
”那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中,除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。
室内的三个角落里也是空的,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着下一道菜。
这样,剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。
他首先想到的是往后一跳,并向其他人发警告。
但他知道这样会引起骚乱,致使眼镜索受惊咬人。
于是他很快讲了一通话,其语气非常威严,竟使所有的人安静了下来。
我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力,我数三百下——也就五分钟——你们谁都不许动一动。

大学英语精读第一册课文翻译(修订本)第一单元想知道怎样提高你的成绩而又不必花太多的时间去学习吗?听上去是不是好得令人难以置信呢?那就读读看吧……怎样改进你的学习习惯你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。
你在学校的学习成绩还不错,可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。
然而实际情况未必如此。
你要是想取得更好的分数,也还是能做到的。
是的,即使中等智力水平的学生,在不增加学习负担的情况下,也能成为优等生。
其诀窍如下:1.仔细安排你的时间。
把你每周要完成的任务一一列出来,然后制订一张时间表或时间分配图。
先把用于吃饭、睡觉、开会、听课等这样一些非花不可的时间填上,然后再选定合适的固定时间用于学习。
一定要留出足够的时间来完成正常的阅读和课外的作业。
当然,学习不应把作息表上的空余时间全都占去。
还得给休息、业余爱好和娱乐活动留出一定的时间,这一点很重要。
这张作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题,但是它会使你比较清地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。
此外,这张表还能让你安排好各种活动,既有足够的时间工作,也有足够的时间娱乐。
2.寻找一个合适的地方学习。
选定某个地方作为你的“学习区”。
这可以是家里或者学校图书馆里的一张书桌或者一把椅子,但它应该是合适的,而且不该有干扰。
在你开始学习时,你应能够全神贯注于你的功课。
3.阅读之前先略读。
这就是说,在你仔细阅读一篇文章之前,先把它从头至尾迅速浏览一遍。
在预习材料时,你就对它的内容及其结构有了大致的了解。
随后在你正式开始阅读时,你就能辩认出不太重要的材料,并且可以略去某些章节不读。
略读不仅使你的阅读速度提高一倍,还有助于提高你的理解能力。
4.充分利用课堂上的时间。
上课时注意听讲意味着以后少花力气。
要坐在能看得见、听得清的地方。
要作笔记来帮助自己记住老师讲课的内容。
5.学习要有规律。
课后要及早复习笔记。
重温课堂上提到的要点,复习你仍然混淆不清的地方,阅读教科书上讲到这些内容的有关章节。
如果你知道第二天老师要讲述的内容,那你就要把这部分材料先浏览一下。

Unit 1 A Brush with the Law一个青年发现,在大街上毫无明显目的地游逛会招致警方的责罚。
误会一个接一个发生,最终他只得出庭受审……与警察的一场小冲突我平生只有一次跟警方发生纠葛。
被捕和出庭的整个过程在当时是一件非常不愉快的事,但现在倒成了一篇很好的故事。
这次经历令人可恼之处在于围绕着我的被捕以及随后庭上审讯而出现的种种武断专横的情况。
事情发生在大约12年前,其时正是2月。
几个月前我中学毕业了,但上大学要等到10月。
当时我还在家中居住。
一天早晨,我来到里士满。
这里是伦敦的一个郊区,离我住的地方不远。
我在寻找一份临时工作,以便积些钱去旅游。
由于天气晴朗,当时又无急事,我便慢悠悠看看橱窗,逛逛公园。
有时干脆停下脚步,四处张望。
现在看来,一定是这种明显的毫无目的的游逛,使我倒了霉。
事情发生在11点半钟光景。
我在当地图书馆谋职未成,刚刚走出来,便看到一个人穿越马路,显然是要来跟我说话。
我以为他要问我时间,不料他说他是警官,要逮捕我。
起先我还以为这是在开玩笑,但又一个警察出现在我的面前,这次是位身着警服的,这一下使我确信无疑了。
“为什么要抓我?”我问道。
“到处游荡,企图作案,”他说。
“作什么案?”我又问。
“偷窃,”他说。
“偷什么?”我追问。
“牛奶瓶,”他板着面孔说道。
“噢,”我说。
事情原来是这样的,在这一地区多次发生小的扒窃案,特别是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着,我犯了一个大错误。
其时我年方19,留一头蓬乱的长发,自认为是60年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
所以我想装出一副冷漠的、对这一事件满不在乎的样子。
于是我尽量用一种漫不经心的极其随便的腔调说,“你们跟踪我多久啦?”这样一来,在他们眼里,我就像是非常熟悉这一套的了,也使他们更加确信我是一个地地道道的坏蛋。
几分钟后,开来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去,”他们说。
“把手放到前排座位的靠背上,不准挪动。
”他们分别坐在我的两边。
这可再也不是闹着玩的了。

第三单元Translation of Text A土地的讯息皮拉·萨哈姆1 是的,这些事我们家的稻田,以前归我父母,再往前属于我的祖先。
这片土地已有三百多年的历史了。
我是家里唯一的闺女,我一直留在我父母身边,知道他们去世。
按照我们伊萨的习俗,我的三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了,我老伴进了我家的门。
那是我十八岁,他十九岁。
我们俩生了六个孩子,两个没长大就病死了。
其余的俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤的时候就都离开了家。
大儿子在曼谷找了份工作,给一家有钱人当花匠,后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了,小儿子也去了挺远的地方。
2 我们的一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活,另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作。
有时候她们会回来看我们,呆上几天就走,她们不时寄些钱回来,捎话回来说她们挺好的。
我知道她们说的不全是实话,有时候,她们受欺负、受侮辱,想到这些,我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我的心头。
对我老伴来说还好受些,他有耳朵么也听不见,有嘴么也不说,有眼睛么也看不见。
他老是什么事都不着急,什么话也不说,只操心他自己的那点事。
3 虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边,但他们永远都是我的孩子,他们一个个都走了,这可能就是命吧。
我们的那块地不大,连年的使用已使它不再肥沃,就像我们老两口儿,慢慢老下去,且疲惫不堪。
不过我和老伴还在这块地力里干活儿,雨量充足的时候,地还不难耕种,老天爷不下雨的年份,不光是我们的犁断了,我们的心也碎了。
4 没,我们俩没怎么变,可我们的村子变了哪些地方变了?就在十年以前,我们还能以物换物,可如今都用钱了。
几年前,我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房子、收割稻子或是打井。
这会儿,都得付钱,他们才肯帮忙。
塑料玩意替代了村里手工做的东西,以前男人们还做点竹器,可如今没人干了。
现在村里到处都是乱扔的塑料袋,一下子冒出来不少商店,里面放满了五颜六色的塑料玩意,还有些我们用不上的东西。

《现代大学英语精读》第二版第一册课文翻译第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的,戴的全是新的:黑鞋子,绿校服,红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来,因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行,我也不时的回头看她,希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着,街道两旁是花园和田野,田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学?”我问父亲,“是我做错了什么了吗?”4“我不是在惩罚你,”父亲笑着说道,“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样,成为一个有用的人吗?”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来,扔进那个大大的,高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口,我们看到了宽阔的庭院,站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧,”我父亲说,“加入他们。
笑一笑,给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手,犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来,”他说,“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步,便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我,其中一个走过来问到,“谁带你来的?”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了,”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了,有些孩子哭了起来。
接着,铃响了,一位女士走了过来,后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行,站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台,阳台上带有木制顶棚,从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家,”那位女士说道,“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐,对你们有益的事物,这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪,快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
从一开始我就结交了许多朋友,并且爱上了许多女孩。

Lesson Eight The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I cameupon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto.2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on thekindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?4. The idea intrigued me.5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to theAtlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a signdisplaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America."7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning meabout someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed intheir Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them forstopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road.9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on thegrass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore."10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people boughtme food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touchingwas the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.12. One day I walked into the chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tenn. to find out about camping in the area. The executivedirector, Baxter Wilson, 59, handed me a brochure for a local campground. Seeing that it cost $12, I replied, "No, that's all right. I'll try something else." Then he saw my backpack. "Most people around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that's what you want," he said. Now we're talking, I thought. "Any particular direction?" I asked. "Tell you what. I've got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you're here at 5:30, you can ride with me."13. I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he'd invited me to spend the night in hishome. His wife, Carol, a seventh-grade science teacher, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. Baxter explained that local folks were "mountain stay-at-home people" who rarely entertained in their house. "When we do," he said, "it's usually kin." This revelation made my night there all the more special.14. The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I'd come to their school and talk to her class about my trip. Iagreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. The kids were attentive and kept asking all kinds of questions: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did you have? Did anybody try to run you over? Did you fall in love with someone? What were you most afraid of?15. Although I hadn't planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks I gave that afternoon. I told thestudents how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help. I told them that the question I had had in mind when I planned this journey was now clearly answered.In spite of everything, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.第八课陌生人的仁慈1一个夏天,我正驱车从我的家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍湖市前往新奥尔良。

大学英语精读第三版 第一册 课文翻译
大学英语精读第一册课文翻译Unit1课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。
Some Strategies or Learning English学习英语绝非易事。
它需要刻苦和长期努力。
虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。
以下便是其中的几种。
1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。
你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。
如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。
你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。
积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。
你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。
2.密切注意地道的表达方式。
你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说"我对英语感兴趣"是"I'm interested in English",而说"我精于法语"则是"I'm good at French"?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说"获悉消息或秘密"是"learn the news or secret",而"获悉某人的成功或到来"却是"learn of someone's success or arrival"?这些都是惯用法的例子。
在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。
3.每天听英语。
经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。
除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。
第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。

A surprising amount of one's time as a student and professional is spent reporting the results of one's research projects for presentation to teachers, managers, and clients. Indeed,without basic research skills and the ability to present research results clearly and completely, an individual will encounter many obstacles in school and on the job. The need for some research-writing ability is felt nearly equally by college students inall fields, engineering and science as well as business and the humanities. Graduate study often makes great demands on the student's research-writing skills, and most professions continue the demand; education, advertising and marketing, economics and accounting, science and engineering, psychology, anthropology, the arts, and agriculture may all require regular reporting of research data.ELEMENTS OF THE RESEARCH PAPERThe standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections. These sections may be broken down into a variety of subsections, and they may be arranged in a variety of ways, but they regularly make up the core of the report.Problem Section. The first required section of a research report is the statement of the problem with which the research project is concerned. This section requires a precise statement of the underlying question which the researcher has set out to answer. In this same section there should be an explanation of the significance -- social, economic, medical, psychological, educational, etc. -- of the question; in other words, why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, if we set out, for example, to answer the question "What is the effect of regular consumption of fast foods on the health of the American teenager?" we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to the health of this segment of the population and might lead to some sort ofregulations on such foods.A frequent subsection of this problem section is a review of past research on the topic being investigated. This would consist of summaries of the contributions of previous researcher to the question under consideration with some assessment of the value of these contributions. This subsection has rhetorical usefulness in that it enhances the credibility of the researcher by indicating that the data presented is based on a thorough knowledge of what has been done in the field and, possibly, grows out of some investigative tradition.Procedures Section. The second major section of the research report details, with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carried out. This section includes description of any necessary equipment, how the subjects were selected if subjects were used, what statistical technique was used to evaluate the significance of the findings, how many observations were made and when, etc. An investigation of the relative effectiveness of various swim-strokes would have to detail the number of swimmers tested, the nature of the tests conducted, the experience of the swimmers, the weather conditions at the time of the test, and any other factors that contributed to the overall experiment. The goal of the procedures section is to allow the reader to duplicate the experiment if such were desired to confirm, or refute, your findings.Results Section. The third, and perhaps most important, section of the research report is the presentation of the results obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section isto give all data relevant to the research question initially asked. Although, of course, one's natural tendency might be to suppress any findings which do not in some way support one's hypothesis, such dishonesty is antithetical to good research reportingin any field. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, if the data was inadequate or contrary to expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis were totally proven by theresearch.Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions which may be drawn from those results. Of primary interest in business and technical research reportsis the validity of the results as the bases for company
