Unit1Onewayof summarizingthe Americanposition 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 teachersare fearful that if skills are not acquiredearly, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparablehurry 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.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).But assumingthat the contrast I havedevelopedis valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals,the importantquestion becomes this: Canwe gather, from the Chineseand Americanextremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking abetter balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?Unit2Waltonset upa college scholarshipfund for employees' children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damagedby fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like.

And I don't mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It's just something about him -- coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person."Makingthe journeyfromlog cabin to WhiteHouseis partof the American Dream. But when Jimmy Carter was defeated in his attempt to gain a second term as President of the United States he found himself suddenly thrown out of the WhiteHouseandbackin his log cabin. This is howhe coped.Unit3SEAN:If that sort of thing happenedonly oncein awhile, it wouldn't be so bad. Overall, I wouldn't want totrademy dad for anyone else's. He loves us kids and Mom too.

Hundreds of lights illuminated Stadium Australia, and the noise was deafening. As I walked towards the track I glanced around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but my mind was focused. The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away, hanging tantalisingly in the distance.当夜幕降临悉尼时,雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。

几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明,场内的声音震耳欲聋。

第二课 偶像
英雄与文化偶像 加里·高西加里安 1 如果让你列举10位美国的英雄人物,下列人物极有可能榜上有名:乔治·华盛顿、亚伯拉罕·林肯、丹尼尔·布恩、马丁·路德·金、埃米利亚·埃尔哈特、苏珊·B·安东尼、杰奎林·肯尼迪·奥纳西、海伦·凯勒、伊丽莎白·卡迪·斯坦顿、以及罗莎·帕克斯。如果再让你列举一些在社会上受到普遍欣赏、貌似非凡的人,恐怕你会开列一份全然不同的名单。事实上,这些人只是因其巨额财富和外在魅力而受到赞赏,而并非由于他们的显著成就与内在人格魅力而得到世人瞩目。做出如此选择的绝非你一个人。民间测验表明今天人们已不再选择那些创造了历史的政治领袖作为“最钦佩的人物”,而是选择了影视名人、时装模特、职业运动员、甚至连环画和漫画中的人物。简而言之,选择的都是媒体偶像。 2 就定义而言,英雄之所以与众不同是由于他们具有非凡的勇气,取得了卓越的成就,常常舍己为人——他们是我们衡量别人的标准。他们是大家公认的不仅对他们的崇拜者的一生,而且对国家意识观念的形成和国家的发展都起着举足轻重作用的人物。但是,有人说,我们生活在一个难以产生真正英雄的时代,我们无法理解英雄主义这个概念到底是什么——它是过去时代的产物。有人坚持认为,由于冷战结束,由于美国正处在和平时期,因此我们这个时代基本上不是一个英雄豪壮的时代。此外,我们这个时代犯罪率总体下降,日益强大的经济实力使国内的贫困状况得到缓解,医学事业也在不断发展进步。因此,由于缺失了民族文化的英雄,我们便迷上了通俗文化的偶像——那些如演员、运动明星、电视明星的媒体巨星以及那些只是因为有名而成名的人。 3 给通俗文化偶像下定义更难。但我们会一眼识出他们。他们已经超越名流,成为传奇式人物,或者不知何故已经成了神话式的人物。究竟是哪些因素使有些人成为偶像,另一些人仅成了名流了呢?这个问题很难回答。部分原因是因为他们的生平带有故事的传奇色彩。举个例子,年青貌美的戴安娜·斯宾塞19岁时嫁给了王子,生下了小王子,后声明放弃婚姻与王位,然而在找到真爱之时却死于非命。长相漂亮当然有用。借助媒体炒作也来的那种难以描述的特殊的个人魅力也同样有用。然而悲剧性的英年早逝却是造就偶像最重要的因素,如马丁·路德金、约翰·F·肯尼迪以及戴安娜王妃。 当名人 唐娜·伍尔福克·克罗萨 4 百年以前,人们因其所做出的成就而出名,像J.P.摩根,E.H.哈里曼和杰·古尔德等人都是著名的事业有成之人;托马斯·爱迪生,马克·吐温以及苏珊·B·安东尼也是大有作为之士。 5 即使今天,他们的成就依然显而易见。当今,人们成名往往不是因为他们做出了什么意义深远的成就。今天我们最崇拜的人物通常是那些被媒体频频炒作、最出风头之流。 6 1981年,一项盖洛普民意测验表明南希·里根是全国“最受爱戴的女人”。在那一年前,这项殊荣属于卡特总统夫人罗莎琳。事实上,现任总统夫人总会成为全国最受爱戴的女人。正如作家丹尼尔·布尔斯廷所说,今天的名人是“因为有名而成名的人”。 7 要想成名得有运气,而不是成绩。正如布尔斯廷所说:“英雄因其成就而出众,而名流则凭他们的形象或特征而出名。英雄凭借自己的实力,而名人要靠媒体的炒作。英雄是了不起的人物,而名流则是了不起的名声。” 8 另外一种区别是英雄令人尊敬,而名流引人嫉妒。我们中没有什么人会认为自己能成为第二个乔纳斯·索尔克或是第二个埃莉诺·罗斯福。但是我们能成为一个像特莉·萨瓦拉斯或苏珊娜·萨默斯那样的电视明星。要是没有媒体的关注,这些人和我们完全一样。 9 由英雄崇拜到名流崇拜的转变始于本世纪初。这种转变与新兴的传媒方式的出现密切相关——首先是摄影,继而是电影、收音机与电视。美国人平生第一次亲眼目睹了他们心目中的英雄。以前,像古尔德和哈里曼这们的家喻户晓的人物很可能穿过人群而不会被认出来。报纸上照片的出现使得名人成为名流。他们的衣着、外貌以及举止成了人们广为评论的对象。公众的注意力逐渐地由了解这些人做些什么转移到了解他们长的是什么样子。 10 电影的出现加速了这种转化。从1901年到1914年,杂志上74%有关名人的文章是写政治领袖、发明家、专家及商业家的。然而,从1992年起,大多数文章在报道电影名星。 11 电视的出现使我们对明星的面孔像对家里人的面孔那样熟悉。我们对名流们生活的了解比我们对大多数熟人的了解还要多。第一部电影出现后不到70年的时间,英雄崇拜已经完全转变为名流崇拜。 12 今天在电视台的脱口秀节目中一露脸就绝对证明了你在美国已经“一举成名”了。实际上,“脱口秀”这个名字会让人产生误解。名流们在这个节目中出场并不是因为他们确实想说什么或是口才很棒,而纯粹是为了出名。他们想仅仅通过在荧屏上露面来证明自己是“重要人物”。 13 做一名脱口秀节目嘉宾不需要妙语连珠、能言善辩、才华出众、见解深刻、智力超群。一位《今夜访谈》从前的策划人说,如果他问一位已约定好的嘉宾“你想和主持人谈些什么”,回答往往是“让他随便问我好了”。他说这句话通常意味着“我是一位典型的好莱坞演员,所以我从来没有什么新颖的观点。我也没有什么任何人能感兴趣的话题可谈”。 14 大多数主持人只要找到能在演播室里不停说话的嘉宾就谢天谢地了。一位脱口秀节目策划人评论说:“我们要找的是能说的嘉宾,不管说什么都行。电视屏幕上10秒钟的沉默都会让人感到别扭。30秒钟的默就糟糕透顶了。如果一位嘉宾在开口之前总要停下来想想该说什么话,那对收视率来说简直是太可怕了。” 15 这种看法鼓励了口若悬河的空话,而视迟疑为愚笨。 16 “我们绝不会邀请乔治·华盛顿来做我们节目的嘉宾。”一位策划人如是说,“他在国人心目中可能占有头等重要的位置,但在今天的收视率方面,他会表现得很糟糕。”

He believed in cultivating ideas and rewarding success."He'd say, 'That fellow worked hard, let's give him a little extra,'" recalls retired president Ferold F. Arend, who was stunned at such generosity after the stingy employer he left to join Wal-Mart. "I had to change my way of thinking when I came aboard.""The reason for our success," says Walton, in a company handout, "is our people and the way they're treated and the way they feel about their company.

I'd never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories, doctor's appointments -- anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much.

He carefully picked up his pole. He felt his heart pounding. He was sure the crowd did, too. The silence was deafening. When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly.Unit6Racing the clock every day is such an exhausting effort that when I actually have a few free moments, I tend to collapse. Mostly I sink into a chair and stare into space while I imagine how lovely life would be if only I possessed the organizational skills and the energy of my superheroines.

新标准大学英语综合教程第二册重点文章及翻译Unit 1 FriendshipArticle 1: The Importance of FriendshipFriendship is a vital aspect of human life. It plays a significant role in shaping our emotional well-being and overall happiness. Throughout history, great philosophers and scholars have emphasized the value of friendship, acknowledging its ability to enhance our lives in numerous ways.Friendship provides us with a sense of belonging and support. True friends are those who stand by us during both good times and bad, offering a listening ear, encouragement, and advice when needed. This level of trust and understanding creates a strong foundation for relationships, fostering personal growth and development.Additionally, friendships contribute to our mental and physical health. Research has shown that individuals with robust social connections tend to have lower levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. The emotional support we receive from friends can act as a buffer against the challenges we face in life. Moreover, engaging in activities with friends, such as exercising or participating in hobbies, promotes physical well-being.The significance of friendship extends beyond our personal lives. It also plays a crucial role in professional settings. Building a network of professional relationships not only enhances career opportunities but alsofacilitates personal growth through the exchange of knowledge and experiences.In conclusion, friendship is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It brings us joy, support, and a sense of belonging. Investing time and effort into nurturing and maintaining our friendships is essential for our well-being, both individually and collectively.翻译:单元一友谊文章一:友谊的重要性友谊是人生中至关重要的一部分,对于我们的情感幸福感和整体快乐起着重要作用。

奥斯卡·希斯戈尔 1 时间一小时一小时地过去了,我一直把枪瞄准着其他九个人。我们在救生艇里漂流了20天。大部分时间,我都坐在船尾。从这个位置,我的枪能瞄准到所有人。要是非得开枪的话,离这么近,我不会打偏的。他们知道这点。虽然没有人扑过来,不过从他们瞪着我的眼神我能感觉到他们对我已经是恨之入骨。 2 特别是巴雷特,在船上的时候他是副水手长。巴雷特用他刺耳粗哑的嗓音说:“你是个傻瓜,斯奈德。你……你不可能一直坚持下去!你现在都快睡着了。” 3 我没回答。他说得对。一个人能坚持多久不睡觉呢?在过去的大约72小时内,我没敢合上过一会儿眼。我很快就会打盹儿。只要我一打盹儿,他们就会扑向剩下的那点儿水。 4 最后那只水壶就在我的腿下。经过了20天,水已经剩得不多了。也许还有一品脱。这点儿水只够每个人喝上几滴。然而我可以从他们那布满血丝的眼睛里看出为了那几滴水他们情愿把我宰了。作为人,我不再举足轻重,我不再是遇难的“蒙塔拉”号的三副。我只不过是一杆枪,一杆阻止他们喝到梦寐以求的水的枪。他们的舌头肿胀,面颊凹陷,每个人都已经近乎疯狂。 5 根据我的判断,我们应该在阿森松岛以东200英里左右。这会儿,风暴已经过去,大西洋上波平浪静,上午的阳光灼热难耐—热得能烤焦你的皮肤。我自己的舌头也粗肿得能把嗓子堵死。(要是我能这么做的话),我早就豁出老命喝上一口水了。 6 但是我是有枪的人,在这条船上谁有枪谁就有权威。而且我也清楚,一旦那点水被喝光,除了死亡我们就再也没有别的东西可指望了。只要还有待会儿还能喝上一口水的盼头儿,我们就还有活下去的目标。我们要尽可能长时间保留这点水。要是我由于他们的咒骂而让步的话,几天以前最后一壶水就已经给喝得精光了。这会儿,我们早都死了。 7 人们不再摇桨划船了。已经很长时间没人划船了。人们已经没有力气划船了。我面前的九个人是胡子拉碴、衣衫褴褛衣不遮体的野兽。我的样子恐怕也和他们一样糟。有几个人四仰八叉躺在船沿上打盹儿。其余的人像巴雷特那样盯着我,准备在我放松警惕的时候跳过来。 8 要是他们不看我的脸,就看我腿下的水壶。 9 杰夫·巴雷特离我最近,时刻对我构成威胁。副水手长身体粗壮,秃顶,脸上有疤,一副凶相。他打架斗殴上百次,身上伤痕累累。 10 巴雷特一直能睡觉,事实上,昨天夜里他大部分时间都在睡觉。这让我嫉妒他。他不肯合眼,眯着那双可怕的眼睛一直盯着我。 11 时不时他要用那副沙哑的嗓子,结结巴巴地取笑我: 12 “你干嘛不放手?你没法坚持到底!” 13 “今晚,”我说,“我们今晚把这点儿水分了。” 14 “到晚上就得有人渴死!我们现在就要喝!” 15 “今天晚上”,我说。 16 他难道不明白如果我们等到天黑再喝,那几滴水就不会变成汗通过我们的身体那么快地蒸发掉了?但跟巴雷特无理可讲。他已经因干渴而失去了理智。我看到他开始站起来,眼睛里流露出狡黠的的神情。我把枪瞄向他的胸膛—他又坐了下去。 17 20天以前,就在我们急急忙忙逃到救生艇上的一瞬,我本能地抓起了我的枪。除了枪,什么也不可能阻止巴雷特和其他人接近那点水。 18 这些傻瓜—难道他们没有看到跟他们一样我也迫切需要喝水?但是这会儿我是指挥者。这是我们的不同之处,我拿着枪,我要用头脑去思考。除了我,他们任何人都可以只为自己着想,而我必须为他们全体考虑。 19 巴雷特的眼睛一直在盯着我,等着机会下手。我恨他。他睡过觉,这使我更恨他。般在平缓的海浪中一起一伏地漂浮着,我觉得困倦之意渗透了全身,使我浑身无力。我的脑袋耷拉下来,瞌睡灌满我的头脑,使我如坠云里雾里。我的知觉渐渐离我而去…… 20 巴雷特站在我跟前,但我甚至都无法抬起枪。我模糊地想象着即将发生的事。他会先抢过水壶喝上一口。这时其他人会尖叫着撕扯着他。最后他只得让出水壶。然而,对此我已经无能为力了。 21 我低声说“交给你了,水手长。” 22 然后我就一头栽进了船舱,还没等倒下去就进入了梦乡…… 23 一只手在摇我的肩膀,但我无法抬起头。杰夫·巴雷特粗哑着嗓子说:“喂!快喝下你那份水!” 24 费了好大劲,我才用胳膊撑起了身子。我感到头晕目眩,浑身无力。我看着船上的人,我觉得我的视力在下降。我看到的是一些昏暗模糊的人形。但接下来我就意识到了我的眼睛没有毛病,是因为到了晚上。身边是黑色的海水,头顶上星星闪烁。整个白天我都在睡觉。 25 原来这是我们在海上漂流的第二十一个夜晚。就是在这天晚上,“克洛顿”号货船最终把我们从苦海中救出。但是这会儿,我转头看巴雷特的时候,还没有任何船的影子。他跪在我身旁,一只手端着水壶,另一只手把枪对准其他水手。 26 我瞪眼瞧着这只水壶,仿佛在看一个虚幻的影像。今天早上他们不是已经把那品脱水喝光了吗?我抬头看了看巴雷特那张丑陋的脸。他的脸色铁青。他肯定已经猜到了我的心思。 27 “你说的‘接过去,水手长’,不是你说的吗?”他大吼着,“我一直都在防备着这帮笨蛋,不让他们靠近。”他抬起手中的枪。“你要是成了头儿,”他接着说,“要主事,要对他人负责的时候,你,你看问题肯定就不一样了,对不?”

NUIT1大学已经不再特别了有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人,这话可能是真的。

但是,20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得,那就是:上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。

20世纪60年代,加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。

然而,加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。

1966年,罗纳德?里根竞选加州州长,他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。

”自由派人士回答说,大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。

在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

许多抗议是针对越南战争的。

可是在法国,巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟,发动了一场大罢工,最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。

20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。

不论在什么地方,上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味,初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。

你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书,看你的第一部独立影人电影,或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米?亨德里克斯或兰尼?布鲁斯的志同道合者。

那是一段难以想象的自由时光,你一生中最无拘无束的时光。

可如今那份激情哪儿去了?大学怎么了?现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。

当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。

例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50%的30岁以下的人上大学的目标(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。

不过,大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。

如今,大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。

有些人辍学,但大多数已经有些麻木,还是坚持混到毕业,因为离开学校实在是太费事了。

《综合英语教程》第二册课文、扩展阅读课文译文Unit 1Text响尾蛇伤我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。

我家有一块瓜地和花圃在紧靠甘蔗地的谷仓背后。

一天,我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个西瓜自己吃。

他们是不许我拿这把刀的,因为它的刀刃比我的胳膊还长。

但它是切西瓜的最好工具。

一刀下去,西瓜就一分为二了。

我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜,突然感觉脚好像被针一样的东西扎了一下。

我为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上了。

转眼一看,却发现是一条响尾蛇。

我知道响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告的,而我对那响声的熟悉程度决不亚于我熟悉鹌鹑。

后来我才明白它是没有时间警告,我肯定是一脚踩在它的嘴巴上了。

我边往家飞奔,边大声喊叫,满脑子想的都是自己肯定要死了。

妈妈赶快解下围裙用上面的带子绑在我的膝盖上部。

她扶我到前屋的沙发上躺下,让玛莎照看我。

当时在场的既没有一个男人也没有一匹马。

最近的住宅是豪威尔先生家,但他家没有马。

再远点的是吉姆·安德森家,穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。

妈妈冲向安德森家。

安德森的一个儿子跳上马就直奔城里,在安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回家。

回到家,妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了,因为我直叫系得太紧。

妈妈给我重新绑上,她用力很猛以致于我失声叫了起来。

然后,妈妈又到门廊朝那条通往城里的路张望。

这条路位于安德森和豪威尔两家领地中间,一直延伸到小山顶端,因此从这里你可以看见所有路过的人或物。

我总是远远就能辨认出我们的马车和汤姆,尤其是爸爸赶车的时候。

这时,如果得到允许,汤姆就会因为急于吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来,爸爸也总是允许它这么做的。

赫伯·安德森的意见是首先找爸爸,如果他不在就找麦肯斯医生,再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。

妈妈一边盯着看谁的马先出现,一边不时地进屋安慰我。

终于,妈妈说道:“你爸爸来了。

Unit 2 This is SandyI love it when my friends introduce me to new people, although I never let on. I love the proud and honorable expression they wear when they say “This is Sandy—she's deaf”, as if I were evidence of their benevolence. I also love the split-second shocked expression on the new people, the hasty smiles and their best imitations of what they think of as their “normal faces”. If they do the ritual well enough I turn my head ever so slightly and tuck my hair behind one of my ears, whichever one's closer to them. They never fail to say something nice about my pink hearing aids, while my regular friends beam on.I'm thinking of starting a hearing aid collection, actually. They'd make better accessories than earrings: I once saw a catalog for clip-on hearing aids and hearing aid covers, and the products were most definitely fashion statements in various shapes and hues. It'd be like the exquisitely expensive handbag Esther's dad got her when we were in high school. The rest of us could only admi re, but could not, imitate, because our dads weren’t rich enoughto spoil us that way. And now, only I can wear hearing aids: My friends can do nothing but gush.To be honest, I quite like my deafness. It wasn't easy the first few years after the car accident and the stupid exploding airbag, but now it's become something that makes me special among my friends. None of my close friends are hearing-impaired; simply because I wasn’t born deaf. By the time I lost my hearing; I'd already accumulated a fixed circle of people, and they mostly rushed to participate in the drama.You know how when you talk about your friends, you refer to them as Drew the Bartender, Carol the Feminist, Greg the Guy Who Can Knot a Cherry Stem with His Tongue and so on? I'm Sandy the D eaf Girl. I like it. I don’t have any other particularly outstanding traits or skills. Never did.It's more than just standing out; too: I'm sure a lot of important events in my life wouldn't have happened or worked out quite the same way if I weren't wearing pink hearing aids. For example, the thing with Colin.I first met Colin at an apartment party. When Carol the Feminist introduced us to each other, I tucked my hair behind both my ears and leaned closer, not because he did the ritual particularly well; but because he was a stud: You should have seen his recovery smile after the inevitable surprise.We went in search of drinks after the handshakes, and somewhere between what was functioning as the wine bar and the couch, we lost Carol.“Do you usually read lips like this? Or do you sign, too?” he asked after a while.“I mostly just read lips because it was easier to pick up than signing, although that's not the only reason I was staring at your lips," I told him.He laughed. We talked more, and then the host upped the music volume and dimmed the lights for the “dance floor”; and I had to lean in much, much closer to be able to continue reading his lips in the semi-darkness. Andread his lips I did.We did the usual and exchanged numbers, and a week later Colin did the unthinkable and called. We went out, satisfied ourselves that the other person still looked good in sober daylight, and read more lips. Within two months Colin and I were dating.这位是桑迪我的朋友向生人介绍我的时候,虽然我嘴上从不说什么,但我心里喜欢得很。

Unit1Onewayof summarizingthe Americanposition 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 teachersare fearful that if skills are not acquiredearly, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparablehurry 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.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).But assumingthat the contrast I havedevelopedis valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals,the importantquestion becomes this: Canwe gather, from the Chineseand Americanextremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking abetter balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?Unit2Waltonset upa college scholarshipfund for employees' children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damagedby fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like.

I arrange interviews for stories,doctor's appointments-- anythingto get meout of the houseand connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see afriend andher ringing laughter is intolerable -- the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune.

新标准大学英语综合教程2课文翻译Unit 1 Friendship。

Part I Pre-reading Task。

Friendship is an important part of our lives. It brings us joy, support, and a sense of belonging. In this unit, we will explore the theme of friendship and reflect on what it means to be a good friend.Part II Text A。

Friendship—A Priceless Gift。

Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold, but its value is far greater than a mountain of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear, and in the time of trouble, it is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand, it cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if He sends not diamonds, pearls, or riches, but the love of real true friends.Part III Text B。

The Glory of Friendship。

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.Part IV Text C。

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。

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。

综合英语二课文概括(1-8课)

综合英语二课文概括(1-8课)

综合英语二课文概括(1-8课)BOOK ⅠL1 P14 Why does the author tell s not to be afraid to ask stupid questions?The author thinks that many apparently naive inquiries like why grass is green, or why the sn is round, or why we need 55,000 unclear weapons in the world --are really deep questions. He says when you try to get the answers, you will gain deep understanding of the things. Its also important to know, as well as you can, what it is that you dont know, and asking questions is the way. He also tell us to ask stupid questions requires courage on the part of the asker and knowledge and patience on the part of the answers. And dont confine your learning to schoolwork. Discuss ideas in depth with friends. Its much brave to ask questions even when theres a prospect of ridicule than to suppress your questions and become deadened to the world around you.L2 Icons P30 What are the factors to shift the hero-worship to the celebrity-worship?The new forms of media--photography, moving pictures, radio and television are the main factors.The reproduction of photos in newspapers turned famous people into celebrities whose dress, appearance, and personal habits were widely commented upon. Slowly, the focus of public attention began to shift away from knowing what such people did to knowing what looked like.The shift was accelerated by the arrival of moving pictures. Between 1901 and 1914, 74 percent of the magazine articlesabout famous people were about political leaders,inventors, inventors, professionals, and businessmen. After 1922, however, most articles were about movie stars.With the arrival of television, the faces of the stars became as familiar as those we saw across the breakfast table. We came to know more about the lives of the celebrities than we did about most of the people we know personally. Less than seventy years after the appearance of the first movimg pictures, the shift from hero-worship to celebrity-worship was complete.L2 GO-GO AMERICAN P46 What is the Americans attitude towards time?Give necessary examples.In the United States, many people keenly feel the shortness of each lifetime. They are aware that once a day in their life is gone, it will never come back. And Americans believe no one stands still .If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. So they value time and want every minte to count.This attitde towards time is shown in the fast pace of life in the country. Whatever they do they always seem to be in a rush. You find people hurrying to get where they are going. They hurry to eating places for a mea and finish it as quickly as possible.Also Americans do what they can to save time. They produce a lot of labour-saving devices such as clothes-and dish-washers; they rapidly communicate through phone calls, telex and e-mail and cut down on personal contacts.L4 Take Over,Bosn! P62 Can you imagine what did Barret think of when he heard Snyders whisper Take over,bosn?Becase of thirst,Barret was almost out of mind. He rose several times and was a constant threat. But when he heardSnyder said“Take over, bosn, he had a strange feeling suddenly. He came to realize he would and must take over the task and be responsible for the rest. As long as he stopped others from the little water, they would always have hopes and wouldnt die soon. So he picked Snyders gun up and decided to hold off the other from the water until night when a ship saved them.L5 Are You Giving Your Kids Too Much?P78 Why parents overindulge their children?There are several reasons to explain why parents overindulge their children. One fairly common reason is that parents overindulge their chidren out of a sense of guilt. Parents who both hold down full-time jops may feel guilty about the amount of time they spend away from their children and may attempt to compensate by showering them with material possessions. Other parents overindulge because they want their children to have everything they had while growing up, along with those things the parents yearned for but didnt get. Still others are afraid to say no to their childrens denless requests for toys for fear that their children will feel unloved or will be ridiculed if thy dont have the same playthings their friends have.L6 Culture Shock P94 What are four stages that people go through when they experience situations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed?Stage one is a honeymoon phase, during which the new experience is perceived to be interesting, picturesque, entertaining, and charming. You may notice several superficial differences such as music, food, and clothing, and the fresh apeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive.When you stay in a new envirnment for a while, you move to stage two-the crisis stage-in which the shine wears off and day-to-day realities sink in. In relationship, you notie annoying habits;in a new country, you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases. If you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically, you will probably move to the third phase:recovery. In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort. Finally,when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture, you will move to the fourth phase:adjustment.L7 The Model Millionaire(I) P108 Suppose you are the millionaire.Explain how you get to know Hughie Erskine and what you do in return for the pound he gave you when you first met.I am Baron Hausberg. I have enough money to buy the whole of London. One day, on a whim I asked my artist friend Alan Trevor to pain me as a beggar. Alan had almost finished the picture when a very charming young man walked into his studio.I suppose he must have been very sympathetic with me, for when Alan was away a minute, the young man quickly put a pound into my hat.

Lesson OneTwelve Things l Wish They Taught at SchoolCarl SaganLearning Guide俗话说:“活到老,学到老。

”人的一生就是不断学习、不断丰富和充实自己的过程。

青少年阶段,尤其是中学阶段,无疑是学习的最佳时期。

中学教育的重点应放在什么地方?美国著名科学家和科普作家萨根批评中学只抓各个学科具体内容的做法,他认为中学要注重对青少年的宏观教育,使他们建立起唯物的世界观和宇宙观,使他们能够正确对待自己,关心周围的世界——人类生存的环境和自己的地球同胞。

1. I attended junior and senior high school, public institutions in New York and New Jersey, just after the Second World War. It seems a long time ago. ① The facilities and the skills of the teachers wereprobably well above average for the United States at that time.Since then, I've learned a great deal. One of the most important things I've learned is how much there is to learn, ② and how much I don't yet know.③ Sometimes I think how grateful I would be today if I had learned more back then about what really matters. In somerespects that education was terribly narrow; the only thing I ever heard in school about Napoleon was that the United States made the Louisiana Purchase from him. ④(On a planet where some 95% of the inhabitants are not Americans, the only history that was thought worth teaching was American history. ) In spelling, grammar, the fundamentals of math, and other vital subjects, my teachers did a pretty good job. But there's so much else I wish2.Perhaps all the deficiencies have since been rectified. It seems to me there are many things (often morea matter of attitude and perception than the simple memorization of facts) that the schools should teach — thingsthat truly would be useful in later life, useful in making a stronger country and a better world, but useful also in making people happier. Human beings enjoy learning.③That's one of the few things that we do better than the other species on our planet. ④Every student should regularly experience the "Aha!" — when something you never understood, or something you never knew was a mystery, becomes clear.4. The Greek philosopher Socrates said this was one of the greatest of human joys,and it is. While you learna little bit about many subjects, make sure you learn a great deal about one or two. It hardly matters what the subject is, as long as it deeply interests you, and you place it in its broader human context. After you teach yourself one subject, you become much more confident about your ability to teach yourself another. You gradually find you've acquired a key skill. The world is changing so rapidly that you must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. ①But don't get trapped by the first subject that interests you, or the first thing you find yourself good at. ②The world is full of wonders, and some of them we don't discover until we're all grown up. MostDon't be afraid to ask "stupid" questions.5. Many apparently naive inquiries like why grass is green, or why the Sun is round, or why we need 55,000 nuclear weapons in the world — are really deep questions. ① The answers can be a gateway to real insights. It's also important to know, as well as you can, what it is that you don't know, and asking questions is the way. To ask "stupid" questions requires courage on the part of the asker and knowledge and patience on the part of the answerer. ② And don't confine your learning to schoolwork. Discuss ideas in depth with friends. ③ It's much braver to ask questions even when there's a prospect of ridicule than to suppress your questions and become deadenedListen carefully.6. ①Many conversations are a kind of competition that rarely leads to discovery on either side. When people are talking, don't spend the time thinking about what you're going to say next. Instead, ②try to understand what they're saying, what experience is behind their remarks, what you can learn from or about them. Older people have grown up in a world very different from yours, one you may not know very well. They, and people from otherEverybody makes mistakes.7. Everybody's understanding is incomplete. Be open to correction, and learn to correct your own mistakes. The only embarrassment is in not learning from your mistakes.Know your planet.8. It's the only one we have. Learn how it works. We're changing the atmosphere, the surface, the waters of the Earth, ①often for some short-term advantage when the long-term implications are unknown. ②The citizens ofany country should have at least something to say about the direction in which we're going. ③If we don'tScience and technology.9. You can't know your planet unless you know something about science and technology. School science courses, I remember, concentrated on the unimportant parts of science, leaving the major insights almost untouched. The great discoveries in modern science are also great discoveries of the human spirit. For example, Copernicus showed that —far from being the center of the universe, about which the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars revolved in clockwise homage — the Earth is just one of many small worlds. ①This is a deflation of our pretensions, to be sure, but it is also the opening up to our view of a vast and awesome universe. Every high school graduate should have some idea of the insights of Copernicus, Newton, Darwin, Freud, and Einstein. (Einstein's special theory of relativity, far from being obscure and exceptionally difficult, can be understood in its basics with no more than first-year algebra, and the notion of a rowboat in a river going upstream andDon't spend your life watching TV.10. You know what I'm talking about.Culture.11. ①Gain some exposure to the great works of literature, art and music. ②If such a work is hundreds or thousands of years old and is still admired, there is probably something to it. Like all deep experiences,③it may take a little work on your part to discover what all the fuss is about. But once you make the effort, your life has changed; you've acquired a source of enjoyment and excitement for the rest of your days. ④In a world as tightly connected as ours is, don't restrict your attention to American or Western culture. Learn how and what peopleCompassion.12. Many people believe that we live in an extraordinarily selfish time. But there is a hollowness, a loneliness that comes from living only for yourself. Humans are capable of great mutual compassion, love, and tenderness. These feelings, however, need encouragement to grow.13. Look at the delight a one- or two-year-old takes in learning, and you see how powerful is the human will to learn. ①Our passion to understand the universe and our compassion for others jointly provide the chief hopeLesson TwoIconsLearning Guide提起一位获得诺贝尔奖的华人物理学家的名字,今天的青少年恐怕很多人会感到陌生,无话可说,可是谈起当红歌星、球星,他们则是津津乐道。
