大学英语泛读第三版book213.全文翻译

After Twenty YearsO'Henry二十年以后欧亨利The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were few. The time was barely 10 o'clock at night, but chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh depeopled the streets.一个执勤的警察正沿街巡逻,很认真,他一直都这样认真,并不是做给谁看的。

差不多是晚上十点了,街上行人寥寥无几,冷风飕飕地吹着,有种雨水的味道。

Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. The vicinity was one that kept early hours. Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.他灵巧地来回转着手里的警棍,每家每户都仔细查看,警觉的目光不时地投向安静的街道,这个警察,身材强壮,昂首阔步,俨然一个和平守护者。

现代大学英语精读LessonOneHalfaDay原文及翻译Lesson One Half a DayNaguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?"4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's nota punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?"5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "T oday you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. "8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one ofthem came over and asked, "Who brought you?"9. "My father, " I whispered.10. "My father's dead, " he said simply.11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. "13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From thefirst moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.16. In addition, the time for changing one' s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to the paradise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.17. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. Ilooked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invade it? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.18. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, between early morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up.Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.19. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me.20. He stretched out his arm and said, "Grandpa, let me take you across."第一课半日1 我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。

新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译Unit 1 The Way to Success课文ANever, ever give up!永不言弃!As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!"英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。

"Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as bigas a bean on the snow-white field. At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car: the wife of Sir John Lavery, the celebrated painter who lived nearby.“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料,然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。

就在这时,我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音,于是一份耕耘,一份收获答案只是参考,请大家努力自学惊恐地丢下我的画笔。

当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时,更是惊慌失措。

来者正是住在附近的著名画家约翰?莱佛利爵士的妻子。

"'Painting!' she declared. 'What fun. But what are you waiting for? Let me have the brush — the big one.' She plunged into the paints and before I knew it, she had swept several fierce strokes and slashesof blue on the absolutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. I hesitated no more.I seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim with wild fury. I have never felt any fear of a canvas since."‘在画画呢!’她大声说道。

1待走读生好点克里斯托夫·M·贝利托你也许可以列出往宿家中,每天赫家和学校之间的大学走读生所享受的种森!} l}越之处。

_但在下面的文章中,作者试图揭示事‘清的另一面,认为走读生的生活并不如人}l !}们想像中的那般轻松。

走读生过着一种矛盾的生活,他去学校是为了能体会一种自我探}l l}索的生活,而实际上与父母在一起是绝对无法保持“我独立的。

你也许认为我们这些人住在家中、每天往返学校的日子很惬意。

不用等洗衣机,牙膏用完了橱拒里有新的,更重要的是,冰箱里塞满了食物,也不用自己付款。

不仅如此,通常还有人付电话费,即使再晚,微波炉里也还热着食物。

你会嗤之以弃—那不是大学生活,那只是永远长不大的孩子。

也许表面上看起来我们像被惯坏了的孩子,但事情远没有那么简单。

住在家里的大学生过着一种矛盾的生活。

跟你们一样,我们来到大学探索自我;自我探索和有机化学一样是我们所受教育的一部分。

然而,鉴于父母监督子女的本能不会减弱,我们要保持自我独立可就不容易了。

再者,家庭的责任也在所难免。

比方说,当父母的结婚周年纪念日正好在我们期末考试的前一天,我们该怎么办?事实上,做一个无法脱离家庭约束的学生简直与努力跟一个你不喜欢的室友相处一样困难。

我们的问题很复杂。

在一定程度上,我们是这个社会的二等公民。

由于你不得不开车回家或赶最后一班车,你很难享受俱乐部、大学生联谊会和舞会的乐趣。

同样不幸的是,你意识到你不能参加仅有一次的商法复习课,因为它结束得太晚。

但这还不是问题的关健:毕竟,每个人都可以随时在朋友的宿舍里借宿。

’真正的问题在于,我们错过了那些活动,错过了由此产生的一种友好的情嗦,这种情嗦来自于一同突击恶补工业心理学的漫漫长夜,来自于谁跟谁上了床的瞎扯闲铆,来自于关于“乔治·威尔”和“亲爱的艾比”的热门话题,以及在这之后彼此对于毕业临近的真切感受的交流。

诚然,我们走读生也可以偶尔参与这些活动,但我们跟不上大学学术生活的日夜节奏。

如何付诸行动(改变拖沓的恶习)

如何付诸行动(改变拖沓的恶习)

如何付诸行动一般人没有办法行动,还是因为老问题——他不知道他到底要什么。

假如我确定今天要去买一套Dunhill的蓝色西装,价值三万五千块。

当我一去店里看,如果有的话,我就会立刻购买。

可是假如我不是很确定,我就会犹豫不决无法立刻付诸行动。

一个人没有办法突破,没有办法行动,是他不了解行动力的来源。

事实上每一个人的行动通常可以归纳出两点:第一点,就是他为了追求快乐;第二点是为了逃离痛苦。

我时常在演讲会问我的学员:“在座想要成功的请举手?”他们都举手。

我说:“想增加收入的请举手?”他们也举手。

我说:“想让自己更幸福、让家庭更美满的请举手?”他们还是举手。

我说:“目前已经统统做到的请举手?”大部分的人都没有举手。

我说既然你那么想,为什么没有达成呢?因为我们害怕失败,害怕被拒绝,不敢行动。

我说假如你不行动,你会成功吗?不会。

你不去拜访顾客,业绩会提升吗?不会。

既然知道不会。

为什么还是不动?关键就是因为他们的恐惧胜过了他们可以得到的成就感或快乐。

逃离痛苦是最大的动力一个人逃离痛苦的影响力比追求快乐要来得大。

像每一个人都想要成功,可是当他每次去拜访顾客之前,满脑子里想的是被顾客拒绝,被拒绝的力量抹灭他想要成功的欲望。

很多人没有办法突破,我就问他:“这是你要的吗?”他说:“不是。

”我说:“你不改变会有什么后果?”他说:“很惨。

”我说:“有多惨?”他开始形容,哎呀,会怎么样……会怎么样……会多惨……多惨……我说:“五年之后不改变呢?”他说:“这怎么可以。

”我说:“十年之后还是不变呢?”他说:“我会自杀。

”我说:“假如二十年呢?”他说:“那我一定躲着不敢见人。

”事实上他知道要改变,可是他没有想到长期负面的影响力。

要让自己行动,必须先研究自己长期不行动有哪些负面的影响。

你现在不去拜访顾客,你的业绩会提升吗?你未来会更成功吗?你现在不踏出那一步、不敢突破心理障碍,十年之后会有哪些负面的影响呢?什么事情先从最坏的地方开始想,然后再想万一我现在就行动的话,这可以带给我多大的好处,会使我多快乐,可以使我赚多少钱,可以让我人际关系建立得多好,可以让我家庭多幸福、多美满。

Action makes the way to success(英语演讲-成功靠行动)

Action makes the way to success(英语演讲-成功靠行动)

Action makes the way to successGood morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to give the speech. My topic is “Action makes the way to success”.Today the theme is about success. But now I don’t want to talk abou t success first. Please allow me to share my failure experiences with you. One year ago, I set my mind on taking exercise. I made thorough plan and bought many sport suits. But time passed and my plan has not been carried out for many trifling reasons. I got frustrated and regret for not taking action earlier.I think many people had experienced such things like me. They are good at making plans, but after making plans carefully, they often forget to do them. Other circumstances, when a man was trapped in dilemma, he seems to struggle to find way out by racking his brain rather than begining taking action. Sometimes, what we really lack is not ideas, but just do it. In the delay and wait day after day, success submerged in the bubble of illusion.As old sayings go: A thousand miles begins with one step. Actions speak louder than words. Bill Gates gave a typical lesson for the youth who want to have successful careers. Only in doing we learn, and only in doing we grow up. Action gives us courage and self-confidence. During the action, we will have a new perspective of ourselves and be surprised by the potential we own. Maybe you are shy. But when a day you have the courage to stand in front of the public, you will find it’s not so difficult to express yourself as you had supposed. Regardless of success or failure, the results are the same important and have the same significance for greater progress.Every one has his own dream of success. Before we take action, it’s just a dream. Now how can the dream shed light into the reality. The shortest answer is doing. Only by doing, can we touch the hand of lady luck. Only by doing, can we approach success more and more closely. Action makes the way to success. Thank you!早上好,女士们,先生们。

艾力克斯哈利也想成为作家,可是他成功了。

阅读下面这篇文章,看一看他成功的原因。

许多青年人对我说,他们想成为作家。

我一直鼓励这样的人,但是我也向他们解释“成为作家”和写作之间存在着巨大的差别。

多数情况下这些年轻人梦寐以求的是财富与名誉,从未想到要孤身一人长久地坐在打字机旁。

“你们渴望的应该是写作,”我对他们说,“而不应该是当作家。

”事实上,写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作。

有一个被命运之神垂青的作家,就有成千上万个永远无法实现梦想的人。

即使那些成功人士也经常受到长久的冷落,穷困不堪。

我便是其中之一。

我放弃了在海岸警卫队做了二十年的工作,为的是成为一名自由撰稿人,这时,我根本没有前途可言。

我所拥有的只是一位住在纽约市的朋友,乔治西姆斯,他和我是在田纳西州的赫宁一起长大的。

乔治为我找了个家,位于格林威治村公寓大楼中的一间腾空的储藏室,而他是那幢大楼的管理员。

房子里冷嗖嗖的,没有卫生间,不过这没什么。

我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机,感觉自己颇象一位名符其实的作家。

然而,大约一年后,我的写作生涯依然没有任何起色,我开始怀疑自己。

卖出一篇小说是如此艰难,以至我几乎填不饱肚子。

但是,我清楚的是我想写作,我已梦寐以求了许多年。

我并不准备成为一名到死时还在想假如的人。

我会坚持把我的梦想付诸实践--即使这梦想意味着不稳定的生活和对失败的恐惧。

这是希望的阴暗面,任何心存梦想的人都必须学会在这阴暗面下生存。

“我有个好主意,”他说,“我们这儿需要一位新的公共信息管理员,年薪六千美元。

若想干,那就是你的了。

”年薪六千美元!这个数目在1960年可真是值钱啊。

我可以有一套上好的公寓,一辆二手车,可以还清债务,也许还可有些结余。

另外,我还可以业余写作。

当这些美元在我的脑海里晃动时,某种东西却使我神志清醒起来。

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 came upon 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。

Bad bosses often have a recognizable modus operandi! Harry Levinson, an American management psychologist, had catalogued problem bosses, from the bully to the indecisive jellyfish to the disapproving perfectionist. If you’re suffering from a bad boss, chances are he or she combines several of these traits and can be dealt with effectively if you use the right strategy. 糟糕的老板都有众所周知的伎俩!美国管理心理学家哈里·莱文森将问题老板做了个分类,从欺压下属的恃强凌弱型到缺乏主见的优柔寡断型,再到求全责备的完美主义型。

如果你正被一个糟糕的老板折磨,那很可能他或她综合了以上特征,只要方法运用得体,他们就能被轻松地应付过去。

When he mentioned this at a staff meeting, the boss turned beet red, his lips began to quiver and he shouted that the new employee should call his client and confess he didn’t know anything about the advertising business, and would not be returning the materials.欺压下属类。

1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot." UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

Like when our parents tell us to clean our rooms, we're like "Yeah, yeah, I'll do it later." Or when the teacher assigns homework, we think "I'll work on that tomorrow night instead." That's called procrastinating and it's actually not a very good thing to do.I used to be a huge procrastinator. Whenever I had a chore or some homework, I'd always say "I'll get to it soon" but then I'd end up forgetting about it or leaving it until the very last minute. And you know what happened? I'd feel really stressed and have to rush to get things done, which usually meant I didn't do a very good job.But then one day, my mom gave me some really good advice. She said "Anna, whenever you have something to do, you should get it done right away instead of putting it off. Don'tprocrastinate!" At first, I didn't really understand why that was so important. But she explained that when you take action immediately on the things you need to do, it prevents all that last minute rushing and stress. It also means you get things done properly instead of half-doing them because you ran out of time.So I decided to give it a try – this "taking action right away" habit. Anytime I had a chore or homework assignment, I would start working on it immediately instead of leaving it for later. And you know what? It actually made a huge difference!First of all, I felt a lot less stressed about getting my work done because I didn't have to cram everything in at the end. Getting started right away meant I could take my time and do a good job. My homework got better grades and my chores were done properly instead of half-way.Secondly, I had a lot more free time to do fun things! Because I wasn't wasting time procrastinating, I could finish all my responsibilities faster and then have more hours left over to play, read books, or hang out with friends. It was awesome!Another really cool thing was that taking action immediately helped build my self-discipline muscle. The more I practiced not procrastinating, the easier it became to just buckle down and getthings done right when I needed to. I felt really proud of myself for not putting things off anymore.Overall, making this habit shift to taking action immediately instead of procrastinating has been a total game-changer for me. I'm so much more relaxed, my work is better, I have more free time, and I've become a lot more self-disciplined. It's definitely a habit I'm going to keep for life!So if you're a procrastinator like I used to be, I really really encourage you to give this "taking action right away" thing a try. It might feel hard at first, but stick with it! Pretty soon, it will become a habit and your life will improve so much. You'll get stuff done faster, reduce your stress, and have more time to do what you love. What could be better than that?Give it a shot – I pinkie promise you won't regret it! Taking action immediately is honestly one of the best habits I've ever built. I'm so glad my mom gave me that awesome advice. Thanks for reading, friends!篇2The Habit of Taking Action Right Away Can Improve Your LifeHi everyone! Today I want to talk about something really important that can make our lives better. It's a special habit that we should all try to develop - taking action right away instead of putting things off.Have you ever had to do a big project or assignment for school, but kept putting it off until the very last minute? I know I have done that before, and let me tell you, it's not fun at all! When you wait until the last second, you end up feeling super stressed out and rushed. The work you do probably won't be your best because you didn't give yourself enough time.On the other hand, when you start working on things right away, everything goes so much smoother. You can take your time, do your best work, and not feel overwhelmed. Starting projects early gives you way more chances to ask questions if you get stuck and get help from your teachers and parents. It's just a much better way to get things done.The habit of taking action quickly doesn't just help with schoolwork though. It can improve your whole life! Let me give you some more examples:Let's say your mom or dad asks you to clean your room. If you do it right away instead of saying "In a little bit..." and putting it off, you'll get it over with quickly. Then you can go outand play games or do other fun stuff you enjoy without that chore hanging over your head.Or what if you're working on building a cool LEGO set, but you left it out and your little brother or sister might knock it over and ruin your hard work? Taking action fast and cleaning it up prevents a big headache down the road.When it's time to do your homework, starting on it promptly rather than scrolling on your tablet or watching TV first makes the whole process so much easier. The faster you start, the faster you finish! Simple as that.You can even apply this to bigger things that will happen later in life. Let's say you want to go to college and get a great job when you're older. If you get into the habit now of taking action on your schoolwork and projects as soon as you can, you'll be developing skills that will pay off huge when you're an adult. Putting things off and procrastinating often leads to problems and stress.Does taking action right away sound like a good habit to have or what? I think it's one of the most useful habits anyone can develop. It just makes everything in life flow so much better.Whenever you have something to do, even if you don't feel like doing it right then, don't wait! Get started on it immediately. You'll get it out of the way faster and be able to focus on more fun activities. It prevents you from feeling stressed and rushed later. You'll do higher quality work too.I'm going to keep working on taking action promptly with all my assignments, chores, projects, you name it. I hope you'll join me! Let's build this habit of taking action right away together and see how much better it makes our lives. Just think - less stress, better work, more fun free time. What's not to love about that? It's a total game changer.篇3首先,让我告诉你们一个小故事。

Unit 5 Ways to SuccessPassage A My Advice to Students: Education CountsHundreds of students send me e—mail each year asking for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether it's okay to drop out of college since that's what I did。

A smaller number of parents send messages,seeking guidance for their son or daughter。

”How can we steer our child toward success?" they ask.My basic advice is simple and heartfelt:Get the best education you can. Take advantage of high school and college. Learn how to learn.It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft,but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out—-and I'd love to have the time to go back。

As I’ve said before, nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime。
