"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。

第一单元Text A、Winston Churchill—His Other LifeMy father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he had been deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately: He was removed from the Admiralty and lost his position of political influence.我的父亲温斯顿?丘吉尔是在 40 几岁开始迷恋上绘画的,当时他正身处逆境。

1915 年,作为海军大臣,他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的,但它却失败了,人员伤亡惨重,为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价:他被免去了海军部的职务,失去了显赫的政治地位。

Overwhelmed by the disaster — "I thought he would die of grief," said his wife, Clementine — he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, "The muse of painting came to my rescue!"“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

不过你最好再考虑一下。

因为规则不同了,期望已经变了,而赌注也高了一点。

College is a rare opportunity to define yourself more fully — even, perhaps, to redefine yourself. What do you want to be known for when you graduate? Frankly, what makes you think you are even going to graduate? Only half of those starting out as freshmen graduate in four years. I’ve seen high school honors students not last the fall semester. I’ve also seen average students graduate with a 4.0. What makes the difference? From my experience, there are 10 rules every freshman should know.大学是你更充分地打造自己—甚至也许是重新打造自己的一次难得的机会。

太不切实际了,是的,但它是我不得不做的。

决心要做一个居家照顾孩子的妈妈,我开始在家靠从事写广告和自由撰稿谋生。

这特别具有挑战性,因为我是一无父母的、又没有人帮助的单亲妈妈。

我必须想出办法有一个环境既能抚养孩子维持生计。

多亏了互联网!〔Chinese〕花了一小笔钱买了一个显示器、鼠标和电话后,我就连接并拨号上网了。

一买了电脑,我就聘请技术人员为我设置了万维网。

一点击鼠标我就完全进入了网络空间。

我启程了!我真是欣喜若狂。

我有了电子邮件,准备靠它带来客户。

我一下子把传真机扔出滑动玻璃门,烧掉了我的纸质活动记载。

我该马上行动了,是的,我也这样做了。

我很快建立了计算机文档,一切开始发生了。

〔Chinese〕有了无线电话耳机的连接,我抱着宝宝从一个房间到另一个房间,一边换脏尿布一边和客户交谈。

当女儿睡觉的时候,我就在网上工作。

有时候是在“奥普拉”节目的伴随中,有时是午夜过后。

在互联网上工作使得我有了这种宝贵的灵活性,我要是从事其他工作就根本不可能有这种灵活性了。

〔Chinese〕互联网帮我挖掘新的业务。

我向行业杂志和全国性杂志的编辑写了查询信,很快就收到了答复和写作任务,并没有受到时间的拖延。

我不再需要查看信箱找拒绝信或者签好的合同。

所有这些文件通过互联网电子邮件就能快速获得。

〔Chinese〕不久,我的想法就在键盘上飞越,新闻稿从指尖流出。

我是一个网络冲浪妈妈,没有什么会使我慢下来。

每套宣传材料完成后,所有的简介都写好后,我会直接用电子邮件把我的资料发给世界各地的不同编辑。

我不必再站在麦克斯办公用品公司前排队复印或等传真,我所需要的每样东西都整齐地放进我的家庭办公电脑里了〔Chinese〕即时通讯帮助我招揽了更多的业务。

我感觉到了高科技世界激情奔放。

多亏了万维网,我不再感到孤单。

我能够连接上新闻团体和各种专业人士,他们知道我在哪里以及想去哪里。

21世纪大学英语读写教程(第二册)课文翻译(1-4单元)(2)

21世纪大学英语读写教程(第二册)课文翻译(1-4单元)(2)西方和日本公司的合资企业经常会发生冲突----许多无关紧要的琐事会扩大为情绪激动的交战,各方不停地叫嚷:“他们是怎么了!?他们能不能理解……?!”但是因为冲突主要是由文化差异引起的,所以没有一方能够理解----除非他们有一名“文化翻译”。

我遇到的第一位文化翻译是一位设备安装工程师,名叫乔治,他在一家我担任国际业务部主任的美国公司里工作。

这家公司刚同一家日本商社开办了一家合资企业,美方管理部门需要有人在它的独特技术方面培训日本雇员。

乔治对设备及其安装和使用的透彻了解使他成为最能胜任这项工作的雇员,所以当乔治接受了暂时调往日本的一份两年期合同时,大家都很高兴。

从一开始,乔治就被所有的日本雇员欣然接受。

日方经理通常不信任任何被派去代表美方业主的人,但乔治生性随和,没有人把他看作是对自己职业的一种威胁。

所以他们喜欢就广泛的各类问题征求他的意见,包括大洋彼岸他们的合作伙伴的古怪行为。

公司上下的工程师们都珍视乔治的专业知识和他友好而技能熟练的帮助,他们已养成了一有问题----任何问题,就找他帮忙的习惯。

办公室里的秘书们都热衷于帮助这个讨人喜欢的单身汉学习日语。

谁也没有料到那么快公司就成了一家赢利、兴旺、日益壮大的企业。

乔治的第一份两年期合同到期了。

这时,他已经能讲很好的日语,并养成了一些日本人的习惯。

他整天喝绿茶,顿顿吃米饭,甚至学会了正确地坐榻榻米。

所以,当公司向乔治提出在日本的第二份两年期合同的建议时,他立即就接受了。

之后又有第三份合同,乔治与日本文化的情缘在继续着。

但是当乔治在这个国家的第6个年头即将结束时,一个未曾料到的困难变得显而易见了:日本工程师对迅速更新的技术的了解已经超过了乔治。

他没有什么剩下的东西可以教他们了。

难道这就是可怜的乔治的结局吗? 他对于这家他曾经如此忠诚地服务过的、现已成熟的合资企业,就再也没有什么可以贡献的了吗? 他只得离开他已开始爱上的这个国家吗? 不! 面对着要离开日本的威胁,乔治心有不甘,于是将自己重新塑造成了一名“文化翻译”。

一份耕耘一份收获答案只是参考请大家努力自学21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册课文翻译及课后答案第一单元UNIT1 翻译TEXT A 温斯顿丘吉尔——他的另一种生活玛丽索姆斯我的父亲温斯顿丘吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的当时他正身处逆境。

1915年作为海军大臣他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的但它却失败了人员伤亡惨重为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价他被免去了海军部的职务失去了显赫的政治地位。

“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

”他的妻子克莱门泰因说。

被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一个乡间居处---耘锄农场。

在那儿正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的“绘画女神拯救了我” 一天他正在花园里漫步正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。

他观看了她几分钟然后借过她的画笔试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神施展了她的魔法。

自那天以后温斯顿便爱上了绘画。

任何能让沉浸在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。

UNIT1 TEXT A我的父亲温斯顿·丘吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的,当时他正身处逆境。

1915年,作为海军大臣,他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的,但它却失败了,人员伤亡惨重,为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价:他被免去了海军部的职务,失去了显赫的政治地位。

“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

”他的妻子克莱门泰因说。

被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一个乡间居处---耘锄农场。

在那儿,正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的,“绘画女神拯救了我!”一天他正在花园里漫步,正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。

他观看了她几分钟,然后借过她的画笔,试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神施展了她的魔法。

自那天以后,温斯顿便爱上了绘画。

任何能让沉浸在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(5-8单元)21世纪高等院校教材作为国家教委组织攻关的项目,正在各高校、各学科中进行酝酿、计划、编写之中。

而21世纪大学英语教材更受人瞩目。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(5-8单元)1987年,普丽西拉·瓦日奎兹一边为高中毕业作准备,一边急切地等待着华盛顿大学的录取通知书,希望自己成为家中读大学的第一人。

当录取通知书送来时,她欣喜若狂。

只有一个问题:华盛顿大学没有为普丽西拉提供助学金。

它只为她提供了一笔数目不大的贷款,并要求她的家庭负担其余的费用。

“我家挣的钱刚够全家生活,但要花那么多钱供我上学却还不够,”她说。

普丽西拉打电话向经济资助办公室咨询。

他们告诉她说,未来的大学生要寻求更多的经济资助,必须与父母分开生活至少两年才符合条件。

在这期间,他们的父母不能在家庭税单上称他们为被赡养人。

“听到这话,我完全惊呆了,”普丽西拉回忆道,“我意识到我必须抽出一些时间去工作,在经济上不依靠父母,然后重新申请入学。

推迟实现我的梦想令人伤心,但这是唯一的选择。

”不到一个月,普丽西拉就在一家餐馆找到了一份工作,并搬到了西雅图贫民区一套低廉的公寓房去住。

她还报名参加了城里的一个职业培训班,学的是秘书专业。

那是一种很难适应的生活方式。

“我早上6点起床,坐很长时间的公交车去学校,下午2点下课,3点开始工作,晚上11点下班,然后回到家就累垮了。

”普丽西拉不久就发现她在餐馆的那份工作的收入还不够她维持生计。

“于是我找到我那幢公寓楼的楼主,问有没有什么清洁工作可以让我做。

他因为同情我,便同意让我每月工作30个小时。

”职业培训班按计划要历时6个月。

但普丽西拉只用了4个月就读完了。

“他们教我各种办公技能和文字处理程序。

我还学会了如何在办公室环境里接电话,以及如何撰写得体的商业函件,”她说。

培训班帮普丽西拉在一家小公司找到了一份秘书工作。

“这是我第一份像样的工作,”她说。

第一单元助人者得助玛琳娜・汤普森1.18岁那年,我离开了在纽约布鲁克林的家,前往英国约克郡的利兹大学学习历史。

那是我人生中一段令人兴奋但又压力重重的日子,因为就在我试图适应陌生环境的同时,我仍沉浸在父亲去世的悲哀之中。

2.有一天,我正在市场上琢磨着哪束花最能扮靓我的宿舍,突然瞥见一位老先生又要拄拐杖又要拿一袋苹果,顾不过来。

我连忙跑过去帮他拿苹果,好让他重新站稳。

3.“姑娘,谢谢你!”他用好听的约克郡口音说道。

“这下我没问题了,”他说。

不仅仅是他的嘴,就连他那双跳动着的明亮的蓝眼睛也在向我微笑。

4.“我可以陪您走吗?”我问道,“我只是想确保那些苹果不会提前变成果酱。

”5.他大笑着说:“姑娘,你的家离这儿很远吧。

从美国来的,是吗?”6.“只是从其中一个州过来的,纽约。

”7.我和伯恩斯先生的友谊就此开始了。

他的微笑和热情很快将对我意味深长。

8.一路上,伯恩斯先生吃力地拄着他那粗大多节的拐杖。

到他家时,我帮他把包裹放在桌子上,并坚持帮他备“茶”——也就是他的晚餐。

他没有执意拒绝,我把这当成是对于我提供帮助的感激。

9.做好晚饭之后,我问他以后能否再来拜访他。

我打算时不时来看看他,看他是否需要什么。

他冲我眨了眨眼,微笑着答道:“我从来都不拒绝一个好心姑娘的提议。

”10.第二天,我几乎在同一时间又来到他家,再次帮他做晚饭。

那根粗大的拐杖地默默提醒着我他很虚弱。

虽然他从不主动要求帮助,但也从不拒绝。

就在那个傍晚,我们第一次进行了“推心置腹”的交流。

伯恩斯先生询问了我的学习、计划,而他问的最多的是我的家庭。

我告诉他,我的父亲最近刚刚去世,但是没有太多提及我们父女的关系。

听完我的讲述,他指了指椅子边的小桌子上放在相框里的两张照片。

照片上是两个不同的女人,一个比另一个年纪大很多。

但是,她们俩有着惊人的相似之处。

11.“那是玛丽,”他指着那位年长女人的照片说,“她已经走了6年了。

那是我们的艾丽斯,她是个很好的护士。

失去她对于我的玛丽来说打击太大了。

Unit 7A如果你常常生气、身心疲乏,好像你生活中的压力正在快速地积聚,将要失去控制,那么你可能是在损害你的心脏了。

假如你不想损害自己的心脏,你就需要努力学会在力所能及的范围内控制自己的生活──并且承认有许多东西你是无法控制的。

这是罗伯特·S. 埃利奥特博士的观点。

他是内布拉斯加大学的临床医学教授,新书《从压力到力量:怎样减轻你的负担,拯救你的生命》的作者。

埃利奥特说在这个世界上有一类他称之为“热核反应堆式的人”(即易怒的人)。

对这些人来说,紧张会导致他们血压大幅度迅速上升。

埃利奥特说,研究人员已经发现,有压力的人除了其他症状外,胆固醇的含量也较高。

“我们已经做了多年研究,证明过分忧虑或紧张所产生的化学物质的确会损伤心肌纤维。

这种情况发生时往往很快,不到5分钟。

它会造成许多短路,而且这种短路会引起严重的心律不齐。

心脏跳起来不像一个泵,而像一只装着蠕虫的袋子(杂乱而又绵软无力)。

当这种情况发生时,我们就活不成了。

”现年64岁的埃利奥特,在44岁时曾有过一次心脏病发作,他把那次心脏病发作的部分原因归于压力。

多年来,他一直是一个“热核反应堆式的人”。

表面上,他显得沉着、冷静、泰然自若,但他内心深处的压力使他筋疲力尽。

他现在身体状况很好。

他说,压力破坏性程度的主要预测指标是FUD因素──FUD指的是恐惧、犹豫和怀疑──再加上可察觉到的缺乏控制力。

对许多人来说,压力的根源是愤怒,而对付愤怒的诀窍是找出怒从何来。

埃利奥特问道:“这种愤怒是否来自这么一种感觉:希望一切事物都必须完美无缺?”“这在职业女性中是很常见的原因。

她们觉得要让人人感到她们无所不能,而且要把样样事情都做得完美无缺。

她们认为,‘我应该这样,我必须这样,我不得不这样。

’追求完美永无止境。

完美主义者事必躬亲。

他们生气是因为他们不得不把什么事情都扛在自己肩上,还为之发脾气。

随后他们就感到内疚,接着他们就再把整个过程重复一遍。

”“还有的人生气是因为他们的生活没有方向。

第一单元Text A、Winston Churchill—His Other LifeMy father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he had been deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately: He was removed from the Admiralty and lost his position of political influence.我的父亲温斯顿?丘吉尔是在 40 几岁开始迷恋上绘画的,当时他正身处逆境。

1915 年,作为海军大臣,他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的,但它却失败了,人员伤亡惨重,为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价:他被免去了海军部的职务,失去了显赫的政治地位。

Overwhelmed by the disaster — "I thought he would die of grief," said his wife, Clementine — he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, "The muse of painting came to my rescue!"“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

"Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as 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 slashes of 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。

‘多么有趣。

可你还在等什么呢? 把画笔给我---大的那支。

’她猛地用笔蘸起颜料,还没等我缓过神来,她已经挥笔泼墨在惊恐不已的画布上画下了有力的几道蓝色。

谁都看得出画布无法回击。

我不再迟疑。

我抓起那支最大的画笔,迅猛异常地向我可怜的牺牲品扑了过去。

自那以后,我再也不曾害怕过画布。

”This belief in hard work is the first of three main factors contributing to Asian students' outstanding performance. It springs from Asians' common heritage of Confucianism, the philosophy of the5th-century-BC Chinese sage whose teachings have had a profound influence on Chinese society. One of Confucius's primary teachings is that through effort, people can perfect themselves.这种对于勤奋的信念是促成亚洲学生成绩突出的三大要素中的第一个。

它来源于亚洲人共同的儒教传统即公元前5世纪那位中国圣人的哲学思想他的教义对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

孔夫子的主要教义之一是人们通过努力能够完善自我。

Confucianism provides another important ingredient in the Asians' success as well. In Confucian philosophy, the family plays a central role —an orientation that leads people to work for the honor of the family, not just for themselves. One can never repay one's parents, and there's a sense ofobligation or even guilt that is as strong a force among Asians as Protestant philosophy is in the West.儒教也为亚洲人的成功提供了另一个要素。

在孔夫子的哲学中家庭起着最重要的作用----这种定向引导人们为家庭的荣誉而学习工作而不仅仅是为了他们自己。

一个人永远无法报答他的父母而且在亚洲人中间还有一种责任感、乃至负罪感这是一种如同新教哲学在西方一样的强大力量。

The first cultural translator I ever met was an installation engineer, George by name, who worked for an American company where I was the director of international operations. The company had just started a joint venture with a Japanese firm, and the American management needed someone to train the Japanese employees in its unique technology. George's solid understanding of the equipment, its installation and use made him the best-qualified employee for the job, so everyone was happy when George accepted a two-year contract for temporary transfer to Japan.我遇到的第一位文化翻译是一位设备安装工程师名叫乔治他在一家我担任国际业务部主任的美国公司里工作。

这家公司刚同一家日本商社开办了一家合资企业美方管理部门需要有人在它的独特技术方面培训日本雇员。

乔治对设备及其安装和使用的透彻了解使他成为最能胜任这项工作的雇员所以当乔治接受了暂时调往日本的一份两年期合同时大家都很高兴。

From the start, George was well accepted by all the Japanese employees. Japanese managers often distrust anyone sent to represent US owners, but George was so naturally nonassertive that no one could see him as a threat to their careers. So they felt comfortable asking his advice on a wide range of matters, including the odd behavior of their partners across the ocean. Engineers throughout the company appreciated George's expertise and his friendly and capable help, and they got into the habit of turning to him whenever they had a problem —any problem. And the secretaries in the office were eager to help this nice bachelor learn Japanese.从一开始乔治就被所有的日本雇员欣然接受。

日方经理通常不信任任何被派去代表美方业主的人但乔治生性随和没有人把他看作是对自己职业的一种威胁。

所以他们喜欢就广泛的各类问题征求他的意见包括大洋彼岸他们的合作伙伴的古怪行为。

公司上下的工程师们都珍视乔治的专业知识和他友好而技能熟练的帮助他们已养成了一有问题----任何问题就找他帮忙的习惯。

办公室里的秘书们都热衷于帮助这个讨人喜欢的单身汉学习日语。

Failure is never pleasant. It hurts adults and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask, "Why did I fail?" Resist the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don't be shy about inquiring.失败从来就不是什么令人愉快的事情。

它让成年人和孩子同样伤心。

然而一旦你学会了去利用失败它就能对你的生活起到积极的作用。

第一步是要问“我为什么失败了?”要抵制责怪别人的本能冲动问问自己做错了什么如何才能改正。

如果别人能够给予帮助那就不要羞于询问。

Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems total can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction.成功鼓励人们重复过去的行为因而远不及失败这个老师来得好。
