大学英语精读第三版第四册课文及课文翻译大学英语精读第三版第四册课文及课文翻译Unit 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 to good to be true, it probably is.BIG BUCKS THE EASY WAYJohn 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 bad hung on our doorknob. A message printed on the bag offered leisurely, lucrative work ("Big Bucks the Easy Way!") of delivering more such bags."I don't mind the indignity," the older one answered."I can live with it," his brother agreed."But it pains me," I said，"to find that you both have been panhandling so long that it no longer embarrasses you."The boys said they would look into the magazine-delivery thing. Pleased, I left town on a business trip. By midnight I was comfortably settled in a hotel room far from home. The phone rang. It was my wife. She wanted to know how my day had gone."Great!" I enthused. "How was your day?"I inquired."Super!" She snapped. "Just super! And it's only getting started. Another truck just pulled up out front.""Another truck?""The third one this evening. The first delivered four thousand Montgomery Wards. The second brought four thousand Sears, Roebucks. I don't know what this one has, but I'm sure it will be four thousand of something. Since you are responsible, I thought you might like to know what's happening.What I was being blamed for, it turned out, was a newspaper strike which made it necessary to hand-deliver the advertising inserts that normally are included with the Sunday paper. The company had promised our boys $600 for delivering these inserts to 4,000 houses by Sunday morning."Piece of cake!" our older college son had shouted." Six hundred bucks!" His brother had echoed, "And we can do the job in two hours!""Both the Sears and Ward ads are four newspaper-size pages," my wife informed me. "There are thirty-two thousand pages of advertising on our porch. Even as we speak, two big guys are carrying armloads of paper up the walk. What do we do about all this?""Just tell the boys to get busy," I instructed. "They're college men. They'll do what they have to do."At noon the following day I returned to the hotel and found an urgent message to telephonemy wife. Her voice was unnaturally high and quavering. There had been several more truckloads of ad inserts. "They're for department stores, dime stores, drugstores, grocery stores, auto stores and so on. Some are whole magazine sections. We have hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of pages of advertising here! They are crammed wall-to-wall all through the house in stacks taller than your oldest son. There's only enough room for people to walk in, take one each of the eleven inserts, roll them together, slip a rubber band around them and slide them into a plastic bag. We have enough plastic bags to supply every takeout restaurant in America!" Her voice kept rising, as if working its way out of the range of the human ear. "All this must be delivered by seven o'clock Sunday morning.""Well, you had better get those guys banding and sliding as fast as they can, and I'll talk to you later. Got a lunch date.When I returned, there was another urgentcall from my wife."Did you have a nice lunch?" she asked sweetly. I had had a marvelous steak, but knew better by now than to say so."Awful," I reported. "Some sort of sour fish. Eel, I think.""Good. Your college sons have hired their younger brothers and sisters and a couple of neighborhood children to help for five dollars each. Assembly lines have been set up. In the language of diplomacy, there is 'movement.'""That's encouraging.""No, it's not," she corrected. "It's very discouraging. They're been as it for hours. Plastic bags have been filled and piled to the ceiling, but all this hasn't made a dent, not a dent, in the situation! It's almost as if the inserts keep reproducing themselves!""Another thing," she continued. "Your college sons must learn that one does not get the best out of employees by threatening them with bodily harm.Obtaining an audience with son NO. 1, I snarled, "I'll kill you if threaten one of those kids again! Idiot! You should be offering a bonus of a dollar every hour to the worker who fills the most bags."But that would cut into our profit," he suggested."There won't be any profit unless those kids enable you to make all the deliveries on time. If they don't, you two will have to remove all that paper by yourselves. And there will be no eating or sleeping until it is removed."There was a short, thoughtful silence. Then he said, "Dad, you have just worked a profound change in my personality.""Do it!""Yes, sir!"By the following evening, there was much for my wife to report. The bonus program had worked until someone demanded to see the color of cash. Then some activist on the work force claimed that the workers had no businesssettling for $5 and a few competitive bonuses while the bossed collected hundreds of dollars each. The organizer had declared that all the workers were entitled to $5 per hour! They would not work another minute until the bosses agreed.The strike lasted less than two hours. In mediation, the parties agreed on $2 per hour. Gradually, the huge stacks began to shrink.As it turned out, the job was completed three hours before Sunday's 7 a.m. deadline. By the time I arrived home, the boys had already settled their accounts: $150 in labor costs, $40 for gasoline, and a like amountfor gifts—boxes of candy for saintly neighbors who had volunteered station wagons and help in delivery and dozen roses for their mother. This left them with $185 each — about two-thirds the minimum wage for the 91 hours they worked. Still, it was "enough", as one of them put it, to enable them to "avoid indignity" for quite a while.All went well for some weeks.

(完整版)现代大学英语精读4UNIT1翻译及课后答案

UNIT1思考作为一种嗜好当我还是个孩子的时候，我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。

后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。

他的办公室里有一些小雕像。

就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。

其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。

她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。

而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。

在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。

在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解。

才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。

那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。

她象征着爱。

她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。

美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。

那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。

用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。

甚至还不如说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。

每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说，“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来，孩子！你就不能抬起头来吗？”然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜，看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中，健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。

我跟校长没什么好说的。

他的镜片反光，所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西，所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗？”不，我不思考，刚才没思考，也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。

“那你最好学一学——你学了吗？”有一次，校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

幼鹿失去皮毛上的斑纹,所有鹿身上的毛长厚,颜色变深;毛皮的变化通常持续到9月;到11月或12月天气变冷时,毛长得最厚;此外,大自然还为鹿提供进一步的保护以帮助它们度过冬天——体内生理机能作相应调节,放慢新陈代谢,亦即生理活动的速度,从而降低能量的消耗;鹿变得有点动作迟缓、嗜睡;它们的心率减慢;冬眠的动物保存能量的习性胜过鹿;虽然鹿不冬眠,但他们随季节改变新陈代谢节奏的习性则是一样的;夏秋间,食物充裕的时候,鹿消耗较多的能量并储存脂肪;在冬天食物匮乏时,它们则消耗较少的能量并使用储存的脂肪;1973-1974年间,第一次出现“能源危机”的时候,我正与家人住在明尼苏达州北部一处鹿群过冬地方的边缘地带;我们住在一个小屋里,观察鹿的生活习性,观察它们是如何随着冬季来临从夏秋的活动频繁状态而变得少动的,而到春暖雪融时,他们的活动又是如何增多起来的;当时广播电台常告诫我们:“没有必要不开车,”“多穿衣服好保暖,并请调低锅炉上的恒温器;”这些话听起来既有趣又逗笑;因为与此同时,我们一直注视着鹿减少活动,长出越冬的厚毛,并减缓新陈代谢;几千年来,他们一贯如此;鹿减少生存所需的能耗以增加越冬生存的机会,从生物学角度来看是合情合理的;当然,对鹿来讲,并非每个冬天都处于危难之中;如果冬天雪下得少,存活率和次年春天的繁殖力就高;但如果雪积得深,天气连续数周寒冷,鹿活动起来就得花费较多的能量,觅食会更难,这时它们就得更多地依赖其脂肪储备度过寒冬;如果这种情况持续太久,有些鹿就要死亡,只有体型最大最壮的,才有可能存活;对于像鹿这样四处自由奔走的野生动物来说,这是一条根本的生存规律;的确,生命——还有死亡——周而复始,循环不已;当动物死亡的时候,他们的尸体转化为能量,变成食物,供其他生命形式使用;如此循环,永不止息;第三单元你能证明地球是圆的吗来试试看吧你将依靠你自己的智力还是不得不引用专家的观点呢我们为什么相信地球是圆的乔治·奥韦尔记得在什么地方——我想是在圣女贞德序言中——萧伯纳评论说,今天我们比在中世纪时更加轻信,更加迷信;而作为现代轻信的例证,他举出地圆说这一广为传播的信念;萧伯纳说,普通人举不出一条理由来说明为什么相信地球是圆的;他全盘接受这一理论,只是因为这一理论中有一种迎合20世纪心态的东西;当然,萧伯纳是夸大其词了,但他说的也确实有些道理,这一问题值得进一步探讨,因为它会帮助人们看清现代知识的真实情况;我们究竟为什么会相信地球是圆的呢我说的不是数千位天文学家、地理学家之类的人,他们可以用观察到的事实或用理论上的根据来证实这一点,我指的是如同你我之辈的报纸的普通读者;至于“地平说”,我相信我能够加以驳斥;如果你在天气晴朗的日子站立海边,你可以看到船桅和烟囱沿着地平线移动而不见船体本身;只有假设地球表面呈曲线状,这一现象才能得到解释;但不能由此推断地球是球形的;设想另一个称做“地球卵形说”的理论吧,这一学说声称地球形如蛋状;对此,我能说什么加以反驳呢面对“地球卵形说”者,我能打的第一张牌是,可以根据太阳和月亮来类推;“地球卵形说”者立即回敬道,我无法根据自己的观察得知那些天体是球形的;我只能得知他们是圆的,而它们完全可能呈扁平的圆盘状;我对此无言以答;此外,他还会说,我凭什么理由认为地球一定与太阳和月亮的形状相同对此,我同样无法解答;我的第二张牌是地球的影子: 月食期间,地球投在月亮上的影子看上去呈圆形物体状;但“地球卵形说”者马上要问,我怎么知道月食是由地球的影子造成的呢回答是,我并不知道,我只是照搬报刊文章和科普小册子上的说法而已;小小交锋受挫,于是我打出一张王牌“Q”: 专家的看法;英国格林威治皇家天文台台长总该是权威了,他告诉我说地球是圆的;“地球卵形说”者用他的“K”牌压倒我的“Q”牌;天文台台长的话我检验过没有再说,我知道怎么个检验法吗这时候,我打出我的“爱司”;是的,我确实知道一个检验方法;天文学家能预报月食,这一点表明他们关于太阳系的看法是非常可信的;因此,令我高兴的是,我接受他们关于地球形状的论断是有道理的如果“地球卵形说”者反驳道——我以为他反驳得有理——认为太阳绕地球转的古代埃及人也能预言月食,那我的“爱司”牌便立刻化为乌有;我只剩下一张牌: 航海;人们可以扬帆绕地球航行而到达他们的目的地,其航程的计算,就是以地球是球形的假定为依据的;我相信这一下可以彻底击败“地球卵形说”者了;不过即便如此,他还可能有某种回击的办法;由此可见,我认为地球是圆的,其根据是相当不牢靠的;然而这却是一点极其基本的知识;在别的大多数问题上,我只得更早地依赖专家的理论,且更少有办法检验他的结论了;我们的知识,其绝大部分都停留在这一水平上;它不是依靠推理或实验,而是依赖权威;可是,不这样,又有什么别的法子呢知识的范围如此广博,一旦越出其专业范围,专家也会变成一无所知;对大多数人来说,如果要他们证明地球是圆的话,就连我上面概述的这些相当无力的论据,他们也不愿提供出来;他们一开始就会说: 谁都知道地球是圆的;要是再加追问,就会生气了;在某种程度上讲,萧伯纳是说对了,如今是一个轻信的时代;究其缘由,部分在于,我们现今必须掌握的知识实在太多了;第四单元2001年9月11日,在美国发生了一系列自杀式的袭击事件;外国的劫机者控制了四架美国的航空公司的飞机,两架撞入世界贸易中心,第三架冲进五角大楼,而第四架据传原本要袭击另一政府目标,但显然由于遭到乘客的反抗而坠毁于一片田地里;本文说的便是其中一位乘客的故事;第93次航班：我所无法理解的事莉兹·格里克丹·泽加特2001年9月9日是星期日,对我们三个人来说,是个美好的日子;埃米刚有11周大,我们极其喜欢她;她是我在两年内经过连续三次流产后生下的,所以对我们更为珍贵;我的丈夫杰里米当时正考虑换个工作,已经面试过两次,自己感觉进行得还顺利;周日那天下雨,我们就在我们位于新泽西北部的自家屋内闲躺着;我们嬉笑着,照看着埃米,随后就早早就寝了;次日,9月10日,我们忙碌起来,杰里米将从纽瓦克飞往加利福尼亚出差;我将带埃米北上去纽约州温德姆我父母的家中;这样,杰里米回来时可以去那里接我们;那天早晨,不知什么原因,他特想要照料埃米;他给她喂奶、给她洗澡、给她穿衣;他把两辆车的行李都装好,把埃米在汽车座椅上安置妥当,并吻了吻她;而后当我们开车离开时他站到一边挥手告别;我到达温德姆时,杰里米打来电话;他飞往旧金山的航班被取消了;他不打算搭乘下一班飞机在凌晨两点到达目的地;“该死,”他说;“我想回家,美美地睡上一夜,明天早点起身;”他将赶上第一班航班飞离纽瓦克;联合航空公司的第93次航班;星期二早晨我正在厨房里设法打开一盒炸圈饼的盒盖时,听到父亲在说什么世贸中心的事;我向起居室的电视瞧去,看见屏幕上出现了从世贸中心大楼的银色外墙上被燻黑的洞中窜出的大火;这时电话响了,父亲对着话筒说道,“哦,感谢上帝,是你啊;”我跑进起居室,父亲脸色苍白地把话筒递了过来;“是杰里米,”他说;我夺过话筒,说道,“杰尔;”“你好,”他说;“听着,飞机上有几个坏蛋;”“什么”“三个家伙控制了飞机;他们头上戴着红色的束发带,声称带着一颗炸弹;”我当即哭了;“我爱你,”他说;“我爱你,”我说;“只往好处想”我浑身颤抖,想要呕吐,可同时我很清楚,我还是可以尽一切可能帮助杰里米的;“我感到我是无法从这儿活着出去了,”他说;随后他又说,“我可不想死;”接着他咒骂起来;“你不会死的,”我对他说;“杰尔,心里就装着我和埃米吧,只往好处去想;”“好,”他回答道;“不要去想那些糟糕的事,”我说;“你得答应我,你将来要高高兴兴地生活下去,”他说;”务必让埃米知道我非常爱她;不论你将来作出什么决定,我都支持你;”稍停片刻,杰里米又对我说,“一位乘客说他们正在用飞机撞击世贸中心,这是真的吗”我正站在起居室里看着电视上播放此事,心想：我是否该告诉他“他们想要炸毁这架飞机呢,还是想用它去撞击什么东西”他几乎在对我大声喊叫道;“他们不会去撞世贸中心了,”我说;“为什么”“因为整个世贸中心都在燃烧了;”他说约有30到35位乘客,都被驱赶到客舱的后部,但,不知怎的,却无人看管他们;“那么驾驶员们的情况如何”我问道;”你们之间联络过没有”“没有;那几个家伙就这么站了起来,喊叫着冲进了驾驶舱;后来就再也没有听到有关驾驶员们的情况;”正在那时,我们从电视上看到一架飞机撞进了五角大楼;心想,上帝保佑那不是杰里米的飞机;我把新发生的这次攻击告诉了杰里米,他再次咒骂起来;五角大楼一事可能使他受到极大震惊,使他认清他和待在客舱后面的其他乘客的命运完全掌握在他们自己的手中;“好,我这就去进行表决,”他说;“另外有三个身材和我一样高大的人,我们打算去袭击那个带炸弹的家伙;你看行吗”“他们有枪吗”我问道;“没有,我没有看到枪;我见到刀子;”他开玩笑说,”我这里还有早餐用的牛油刀呢;”停了一会儿,他说,”我想我可以制服那个带炸弹的家伙;你觉得那是一颗真的炸弹吗”“我认为不是真的炸弹,那是在吓唬你们;”“行,我这就去干,”杰尔说;“隐隐约约的尖叫声”“我觉得你必须去干,”我对他说;“你身强力壮,又勇敢,我爱你;”“好,我这就把话筒搁下离开这儿,我会马上回来再拿起它的,”杰尔说;我把话筒递给父亲,跑进盥洗室,在水池上呕吐起来;我父亲把话筒放到耳边,有两三分钟光景什么都听不到;而后他听到隐隐约约的尖叫声;他想,他们正干上了;这必然会引起喧闹;隔了约莫一分半钟,又传来一阵低沉的尖叫声,就像人们坐过山车时发出的叫声那样;随后便沉寂了下来;我坐在起居室的长沙发上,浑身乏力;过了一会儿,我起身向厨房走去,几乎与从相反方向走来的父亲相撞;他想必刚挂上电话,他在哭泣;他拥抱了我;我瞧着他哭着,我有点麻木了;“等一等,你是不是认为他死了”我说;他除了放声大哭之外再也说不出话来;我大概重复问了五次之多;接着,当我终于明白过来之后,我瘫倒在地上;“寻找杰里米”在接下的几个月里,我花了大量时间寻觅杰里米;每当我痛楚万分之际,我常听到他在耳边安慰我的声音;我去了飞机坠毁的地方;我渴求了解第93次航班上发生的事情以及杰里米为何而身故;如今我发现我已改变了看法;不是因为我不想了解到底发生了什么,而恰恰是我相信我将永远不可能真正理解911事件;是否有人出于某种原则性的问题向我们宣战了或是他们出于妒忌或是他们想炫耀其强悍是否我们这个国家的人越轨了,做得过分了,伤及了人家自古而来的情感杰里米和我所熟悉的世界只不过是我们所居住的房子、几处散步的地方、几个朋友以及我们所热爱的家人;如今一切全完了,但却始终无人能真正弄清这到底是怎么回事;我觉得杰里米一直认为他生来就肩负有崇高使命;我也并不认为杰里米乘坐上第93次航班是出于偶然;一位具有足够挫败恐怖行径体能的旅客正好搭乘了那天被劫持的飞机中唯一一个可以有机会进行反击劫机者的航班,这不仅仅是一种巧合;杰里米去世时31岁,和我结婚了五年,和他的女儿相处了三个月都不到;可我认为我们是幸福的;他与我之间未留下任何未尽之言或未竟之事;他总是努力给埃米和我带来我们所需的一切;有时,当我留神观察和倾听时,我仍然能感到他就在我的身边,在我有生之年指引我向前;第五单元医生可以对病人撒谎吗医生应该告诉病人他已经病入膏肓了吗这些问题看起来很简单,但是要给出令人满意的回答却并不那么简单;撒谎还是不撒谎——医生的难题西赛拉·博克为了对病人有好处——为了加快病人康复或不让病人知道死亡的来临——医生到底该不该撒谎医疗行业与法律、政府及其他行业一样,往往显得对诚实与否的问题不那么看重,要紧的倒是另外的一些事情,譬如,应设法避免可怕的消息造成的打击,或是应考虑恪守保密的诺言,或是需要揭露腐败行为或促进公众利益等;举例说吧;一个46岁的男子,在与家人外出度假之前进行常规体格检查,虽然他自我感觉良好,但医生发现他患了某种癌症,6个月内就会死去;这时,医生该怎么对他讲呢是不是最好对他讲实话要是他问起检查结果,医生该不该否认他得了病该不该将病情的严重性缩小到最低限度该不该将真情至少隐瞒到他全家度假之后医生们常常面临这样的非常紧迫的选择;他们不时认为,为了病人自身的利益,撒谎很有必要,在他们看来,这种谎言与利己的谎言截然不同;研究结果表明,大多数医生深信身患重病的人不想知道他们的真实病情,如果将真情相告,则有可能使他们完全失去希望,结果使他们恢复得更慢或恶化得更快,甚至会自寻短见;正如一位内科医生写道：“我们这个职业,传统上恪守一条信条,那就是：‘尽可能不造成伤害',这一信条胜过为讲真话而讲真话的美德”;。
