新标准大学英语—综合教程1 标准译文
大学已经不再特别了1 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。
2 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,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。
3 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。
4 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。
5 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。

参考译文1.第一单元成长1.1课文A我们写作时常常被告诫,脑子里要有读者,笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。
但有一位读者特别不该忘记。
你能猜出是谁吗?当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时,他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。
为自己而写拉塞尔·田克从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这—一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装,白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。
他救着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来—·本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。
我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年,不少日子过去了,还真率出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题供我们选择。
像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数—样乏味。
我把作文题带回家,——直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。
我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。
…这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有—个吃起来得心应手的。

2He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun twelve months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he soon found himself absorbed, not by the words of the book, but by the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.他在寻找一位姑娘,一位佩带玫瑰的姑娘。
他知其心,但不知其貌。

新标准大学英语综合教程1(Unit1-Unit6课文翻译)UNIT1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。
我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。
我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。
结束时我看了看笔记,我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
星期四今天是新生集会(社团招新活动)。
我和苏菲跑去看看我们能加入几个俱乐部。
我们俩都认为我们应该结交很多朋友,所以我报名参加了交谊舞俱乐部、人工智能协会、手铃俱乐部和极限运动俱乐部。
苏菲则报名参加了业余剧社和莫扎特合唱团。
我不知道我和苏菲还能不能继续做好朋友。

根据最近的一项调查显示,如今在很多公司员工的工作时间比员工在1979年做到了。
他们还采取较短的假期。
看来,美国人今天的工作难度比以往任何时候。
还是他们?一名管理顾问,比尔·迈耶,决定一探究竟。
整整三天,他观察到一个投资银行家在努力工作。
迈耶写下的一切银行家做了在他漫长的工作日- 银行家每周工作80小时。
在为期三天的期限结束时,梅耶回顾了他银行家的活动。
他们是怎么发现的?他们发现,这名男子花了80 %的时间在做忙碌的工作。
例如,他参加不必要的会议,使多余的电话,并花时间包装和拆包他的两个大公文包。
2 。
显然,很多人认为,更多的时间一个人花费在工作中,更多的她或他完成。
然而,时间和生产力之间的连接并不总是积极的。
事实上,许多研究表明,在一定点之后,任何人的生产力和创造力开始下降。
此外,它并不总是容易的个人认识到,它们的性能脱落。
3 。
问题的一部分是可以理解的。
当雇主评估员工,他们往往认为在工作中除了工作绩效的时间量。
员工知道这一点。
因此,他们延长工作时间,并采取比他们做了九年前少休假时间。
虽然许多上班族可以在常规40小时工作周有效地做他们的工作,他们觉得他们不得不花费更多的时间在工作上的正常工作时间后,让谁可以促进他们的人看到他们。
4 。
A组的猎头(人谁搜索出行政人员的公司)被问及他们对这种情况的意见。
他们有两个候选人,一个重要的公司担任行政职务的选择。
考生有资格媲美的工作。
例如,它们都是可靠的。
人们可以做的工作以及在40小时工作周。
其他会做同样的工作在80小时工作周一样好。
据猎头专家,80小时一个星期的候选人将得到这份工作。
这个候选人花费在工作上的时间可能会鼓励其他员工花更多的时间在工作上了。
雇主认为,如果员工在工作留后,他们实际上可能会做更多的工作。
5 。
人们不只是更多的钱长时间工作。
等领域的广告,演艺界和新闻,魅力和宣传的价值超过任何金钱利益。
在另一方面,很多员工都不愿意花那么多多余的,非生产性的时间在办公室里。
新版大学英语综合教程第一册章节6课文解读
新版大学英语综合教程第一册章节6课文解读导语:有些动物是有思想的,而且有些动物是很聪明的,下面是一篇谈论这方面的英语课文,欢迎大家阅读。
Animal IntelligencePart I Pre-reading TaskListen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions:1. What do you know about Michael Jackson?2. How does he feel about Ben? Why?3. Do you think the song Ben reveals something about the relationship between man and animals? If so, what is it?4. Is the song related to the theme of the unit —animal intelligence? How?Part IITextFood, warmth, sleep? Their thoughts may be much deeper than that.WHAT ANIMALS REALLY THINKEuqene LindenOver the years, I have written extensively about animal-intelligence experiments and the controversy that surrounds them. Do animals really have thoughts, what we call consciousness? Wondering whether there might be better ways to explore animal intelligence than experiments designed to teach human signs, I realized what now seems obvious: if animals can think, they will probably do their best thinking when it serves their own purposes, not when scientists ask them to.And so I started talking to vets, animal researchers, zoo keepers. Most do not study animal intelligence, but theyencounter it, and the lack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal what I'm convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals perform when dealing with captivity and the dominant species on the planet — humans.Let's Make a DealConsider the time Charlene Jendry, a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo, learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object. Arriving on the scene, Jendry offered Colo some peanuts, only to be met with a blank stare. Realizing they were negotiating, Jendry raised the stakes and offered a piece of pineapple. At this point, while maintaining eye contact, Colo opened her hand and revealed a key chain.Relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable, Jendry gave Colo the pineapple. Careful bargainer that she was, Colo then broke the key chain and gave Jendry a link, perhaps figuring. Why give her the whole thing if I can get a bit of pineapple for each piece?If an animal can show skill in trading one thing for another, why not in handling money? One orangutan named Chantek did just that in a sign-language study undertaken by anthropologist Lyn Miles at the University of Tennessee. Chantek figured out that if he did tasks like cleaning his room, he'd earn coins to spend on treats and rides in Miles's car. But the orangutan's understanding of money seemed to extend far beyond simple dealings. Miles first used plastic chips as coins, but Chantek decided he could expand the money supply by breaking chips in two. When Miles switched to metal chips, Chantek found pieces of tin foil and tried to make copies.Miles also tried to teach Chantek more virtuous habits such as saving and sharing. Indeed, when I caught up with theorangutan at Zoo Atlanta, where he now lives, I saw an example of sharing that anyone might envy. When Miles gave Chantek some grapes and asked him to share them, Chantek promptly ate all the fruit. Then, as if he'd just remembered he'd been asked to share, he handed Miles the stem.Tale of a WhaleWhy would an animal want to cooperate with a human? Behaviorists would say that animals cooperate when they learn it is in their interest to do so. This is true, but I don't think it goes far enough.Gail Laule, a consultant on animal behavior, speaks of Orky, a killer whale, she knew. "Of all the animals I've worked with, he was the most intelligent," she says. "He would assess a situation and then do something based on the judgments he made."Like the time he helped save a family member. When Orky's mate, Corky, gave birth, the baby did not thrive at first, and keepers took the little whale out of the tank by stretcher for emergency care. Things began to go wrong when they returned the baby whale to the tank. As the workers halted the stretcher a few meters above the water, the baby suddenly began throwing up through its mouth. The keepers feared it would choke, but they could not reach the baby to help it.Apparently sizing up the problem, Orky swam under the stretcher and allowed one of the men to stand on his head, something he'd never been trained to do. Then, using his tail to keep steady, Orky let the keeper reach up and release the 420-pound baby so that it could slide into the water within reach of help.Primate Shell GameSometimes evidence of intelligence can be seen in attemptsto deceive. Zoo keeper Helen Shewman of Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo recalls that one day she dropped an orange through a feeding hole for Melati, an orangutan. Instead of moving away to get it, Melati looked Shewman in the eye and held out her hand. Thinking the orange must have rolled off somewhere inaccessible, Shewman gave her another one. But when Melati moved off, Shewman noticed the original orange was hidden in her other hand.Towan, the colony's dominant male, watched this whole trick, and the next day he, too, looked Shewman in the eye and pretended that he had not yet received an orange. "Are you sure you don't have one?" Shewman asked. He continued to hold her gaze steadily and held out his hand. Giving in, she gave him another one, then saw that he had been hiding his orange underneath his foot.What is intelligence anyway? If life is about survival of a species — and intelligence is meant to serve that survival — then we can't compare with pea-brained sea turtles, which were here long before us and survived the disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs. Still, it is comforting to realize that other species besides our own can stand back and assess the world around them, even if their horizons are more limited than ours.New Words and Expressionsextensivelyad. to a large extent, or in a large amount 广泛地;大量地intelligencen. 智力intelligenta. 聪明的,有才智的controversyn. 争论,争议surroundvt. be or go all around (sth. or sb.) 围绕;包围consciousnessn. 意识explorevt. examine thoroughly, learn about 探究,探索obviousa. easy to see and understand; clear 明显的vetn. 兽医encountervt. meet, esp. unexpectedly 遇到,遭遇revealvt. make (sth.) known 展示;揭露convincevt. make (sb.) feel sure by the use of argument or evidence 使确信,使信服feat▲n. 技艺;业绩,功绩captivityn. 被俘;监禁;束缚dominanta. ruling; most important or strongest 统治的;占优势的speciesn.

周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

Shop till you drop! 6Unit 6 Shop till you drop!Teaching suggestions and answer keysStarting pointMatch the questions with the answers.1 How often do you go shopping?M ost days I buy food to prepare meals in the students’ home. I prefer to cook food myself ratherthan go to the canteen. Sylvia, Florence2 What do you spend most money on?I buy a lot of music. It’s a hobby of mine, and I like to keep up with the latest bands. Jo, San Diego3 How often do you buy clothes?I usually go clothes shopping at the weekend, although I don’t always buy anything. I probablybuy something once every two weeks. Nadia, Moscow4 Which items you buy are essentials?Cosmetics. If I don’t wear eye make-up and lip gloss, I look awful. Danielle, Paris5 How often do you buy presents for other people?I buy something for all my family and friends at Christmas, although obviously I get presentsthrough the whole year. Toby, London6 Which do you prefer to use, credit cards or cash?M y father doesn’t allow me to get into debt, so I only ever use the money I have in my wallet.Teresa, Buenos Aires7 Do you ever borrow money from friends or family, or from a bank?Sometimes my mother lends me some money if I’ve used up my allowance. Jaime, Lima8 Do you try to save money?Well, I try, but I’m not very successful! Judy, Sydney158Shop till you drop! Unit 6Active reading (1)1 Work in pairs. Discuss which kind of shopping you enjoy most.Examples:•going to the shopping mallI like going to the mall because it’s clean, modern and interesting, but sometimes things are moreexpensive.•home shopping on televisionI know the idea is that you see things on TV and then buy them by phone or email. It’s useful if whatyou see is exactly what you want, but remember those programmes are really just adverts.•online shoppingT his can be a good way to buy things at bargain prices. I know someone who actually makes money bybuying and selling on the Internet. However, you need to be careful with online transactions; sometimesthe goods never reach you.•mail order catalogue shoppingI’ve never done this myself, but I’ve heard that buying clothes and household items this way is reallyfast because a good mail order company sends things immediately. Sometimes what you get may notlook like the item in the catalogue photo, but it’s easy to return things you don’t like and get a refund.2 Read about the people below and decide if their behaviour shows retail therapy or shopaholism.1 S andra has an addictive desire to shop. Shopping gives her a sense of temporary satisfaction followedby a feeling of shame which can be relieved by going shopping again. She feels lonely and has low self-esteem, especially as she is spending too much money and is in debt.Sandra’s behaviour shows shopaholism. She seems to be a shopaholic.2 R ose goes shopping to make herself feel more cheerful, especially if she is feeling slightly depressed orunhappy. She has a pleasurable experience and feels better afterwards, and regards shopping as a bit likegoing to the doctor for some medicine.Rose treats shopping as retail therapy.159Unit 6 Shop till you drop!160Retail therapy or shopaholism?Background informationThis passage is a magazine or newspaper article for general readers. It focuses on shopping addiction – shopaholism – and its causes and effects. The term shopaholic is similar in word formation to the words workaholic and chocaholic, and shopaholism can be regarded as harmful. While many people like shopping and sometimes feel that shopping can be retail therapy when they are under stress, shopaholics can suffer severe financial and social-psychological consequences. The passage suggests some solutions and practical steps which shopaholics can take.Culture pointsYou get into debt by spending more money than you have; so you end up in debt and the debts may accumulate. You can get out of debt by paying off or repaying what you owe. If the creditors (the people or companies to whom you owe money) decide that you no longer need to pay, then the debt is written off, or cancelled. The 2008 “credit crunch”, in which American and European banks found they couldn’t pay their debts to other banks and had been over-lending by giving mortgages to people who did not have the means to pay, shows how heavily some Western societies have relied on systems of debt.Language points1 I get a real buzz when I hand over my credit card … (Para 3)The word buzz here means “a strong feeling of pleasure, excitement or achievement”, eg I get a real buzz out of travelling.2 ... but it’s not good when someone loves shopping so much that they go into debt or worse, bankrupt.(Para 4)G oing bankrupt means that someone – or a company – has officially admitted that they have no moneyand cannot pay what they owe. This is a serious situation in law. If they become solvent again, they can clear their debts. Notice some metaphoric uses: intellectually bankrupt (a person or group with poor ideas or lacking in real thought) and morally bankrupt(a person or society with very poor moral standards).3 Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment. (Para 5)Shopaholism refers to the general condition or “illness” of being a shopaholic – someone who enjoys going shopping even when they don’t need anything and cannot pay for what they buy. Sufferers may not recognize the effect of their shopping behaviour (they “avoid reality”), they cannot control their spending habits (“a loss of control”), but think they are free to spend the money they don’t have (“an illusion of freedom”). Shopaholism may bring a temporary feeling of well-being and distract the person from the worries or anxieties of everyday life, but sufferers often feel guilt or shame. Doctors and psychologists use the medical term oniomania to refer to shopaholism and they would advise the sufferers to be treated.4 … to shop till you drop … (Para 5)This means to keep on shopping until you are exhausted. Then you drop, or fall down.5 … they take it one day at a time. (Para 11)The expression take it one day at a time is used when you are in a difficult situation or have such severe problems that you can only plan and act for the present, and adopt the step-by-step approach.Shop till you drop! Unit 6Reading and understanding3 Answer the questions.1 What is unusual about Linda, Kate and Carina’s attitude to shopping?The scale of their shopping is unusual; they spend a lot on shopping.2 What are the dangers of shopaholism?The dangers are debts and eventual bankruptcy.3 Who does shopaholism affect?It can affect anyone, though it usually affects women.4 What are the causes for shopaholism?T he causes include the fact that shopping appears attractive and exciting, that many young people feelanxious and lonely, angry or lacking in love and in need of comfort. Also it’s easy to obtain credit.5 What should you do if you’re a shopaholic?F irst, you should admit that you have a problem and work out why you are shopping so much and whatis missing in your life to make you behave like this. Then you need to find an alternative activity whichgives you pleasure and take practical steps, like destroying your credit cards and only buying what’s onyour shopping list.6 Do Linda, Kate and Carina enjoy retail therapy or suffer from shopaholism?A ll the three of them enjoyed retail therapy at the beginning, but it has become a problem for them andhas developed into shopaholism.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 equal to something else in quality or importance (comparable)2 having no money and unable to pay what is owed (bankrupt)3 a strong feeling of wanting to have or to do something, especially something that is bad for you(temptation)4 a short journey that you take for pleasure (excursion)5 someone or something that is different in some way from other people or things and so cannot beincluded in a general statement (exception)6 the process of becoming fit and healthy again after an illness or injury (recovery)5 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in the box.1 When you buy clothes, there are often two labels, one which shows the price and the other, the makeand other information.2 When researchers claim something a fact, it’s because it’s true.3 Someone who is fashion-conscious likes to wear clothes which are very up-to-date.4 To do something with ease means doing it without any difficulties.5 Something which is the norm is usual or expected.161Unit 6 Shop till you drop!6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to makeother changes.1 When the three main symptoms of shopaholism are put together, it becomes an addiction. (combined)2 A rough guess at the amount of what Victoria Beckham spends on clothes every year is £100,000.(estimation)3 You may have a false impression of freedom when you’re a shopaholic. (illusion)You may have an illusion of freedom when you’re a shopaholic.4 Most people today consider it normal being in debt. (accept)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If you smile broadly, is your smile (a) very happy and wide, or (b) very small and quick?2 Is buzz likely to be (a) a pleasant, or (b) an unpleasant feeling?3 Is a mall (a) a department store, or (b) a large building with a lot of shops and restaurants?4 If you’re addicted to something, is it likely to be (a) good for you, or (b) bad for you?5 Is a mail order catalogue (a) a magazine for women, or (b) a magazine with photographs of things youcan buy by mail?6 If you take it one day at a time, do you do something (a) step by step, or (b) in one go?7 If you look for all the world like someone else, is it likely that you look (a) a little bit, or (b) exactly likethem?Reading and interpreting8 Work in pairs. Look at the sentences from the passage and decide if they show facts or opinions.1 “There’s nothing comparable to the feeling of power and importance I get when I go shopping.”(opinion)2 Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment. (fact)3 Research suggests that shopaholism is a global problem, claiming that 90 per cent of shopaholics arewomen. (fact)4 ... Victoria Beckham spends £100,000 yearly on shopping. (fact)5 But today it’s the norm to have a credit card, and it’s acceptable to be in debt. (opinion)6 What’s more, using a credit card doesn’t feel like spending real money. (opinion)Developing critical thinking9 Work in pairs and discuss the questions.1 Do you enjoy retail therapy, or have you ever experienced shopaholism? Do you know anyone who has?I enjoy retail therapy after exams, but I would rather call it “a celebration” after working hard for solong. I don’t know any shopaholics, but I have read about some. It seems they have a quite normal lifeand then suddenly go mad about shopping. I suppose they have too much stress.162Shop till you drop! Unit 6 2 Do you agree that it’s easy to get credit or borrow money today?Well, banks like to encourage people to use credit cards and to borrow money, because they then canmake money by charging you interest on what you borrow. But I don’t agree that it’s easy to get credit,at least it isn’t for students. Even if you can get credit the bank will give you a low credit limit so thatyou can’t spend too much.3 Who should take the responsibility for an addiction to shopping, the individual, the shop or theconsumer society?This is a complex question. The individual shopper is responsible, really, but addicts will always find itdifficult to control themselves. Shops may have some responsibility, but it’s the job of shop assistantsto encourage everyone to buy, so that’s what they do. The consumer society gives constant messagesthrough advertising and the media that it is good to have plenty of things, so people are encouraged tobuy. Perhaps we should be careful about these messages.4 Do you think that well-known people who spend a lot of money on shopping are attractive role models?I think if well-known people spend their money unwisely in public, they are surely not attractive rolemodels. We should make judgment by ourselves, instead of just following the well-known people.Talking pointWork in pairs and discuss the questions.1 How has the experience of shopping changed for people over recent years?When I talked to my mother about this, I realized that the experience of shopping in China is generallydifferent now compared to 20 years ago. There are more goods available, and much more choice (egdifferent kinds of food), and many shops are bigger, better and cleaner. We are a lucky generationbecause our parents worked hard for these things.2 How do assistants serve customers in supermarkets compared with traditional shops, eg a grocery?In supermarkets, an assistant usually serves only one person at a time. But traditional shops, eg agrocery, normally have fewer assistants, so an assistant may serve several people at the same time.3 How are goods presented in shops and markets?In Chinese supermarkets and shops, goods are normally presented on open shelves with prices on thewrapped goods or on the boards. This is very much the same in Western supermarkets or shops. Oneobvious difference between a Chinese and Western supermarket or shop is that there are more assistantsin a Chinese supermarket, perhaps because there are more people and customers in China.4 Do people say “please” or “thank you” when they go shopping?In Chinese, saying “please” or “thank you” is perhaps less common than it is in English for day-to-day shopping – this may surprise English speakers (or speakers of many European languages) who areused to using these expressions every time they go shopping. But visitors to China should not assumethat using fewer of these expressions means that Chinese people aren’t polite! There are many ways ofshowing politeness, apart from using these social formulae.163Unit 6 Shop till you drop!164Active reading (2)1 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 When you shop, do you prefer to go with someone or to go alone?If I am shopping for clothes, music or something like a camera or a mobile phone, then I would prefer to go with my friends, because they can help me to choose things. If I am shopping for food, then it doesn’t matter if I am alone, but still I usually go with friends.2 How often have you been shopping with a boyfriend or a girlfriend?Well, I don’t have a partner just at the moment. If I had, then I expect we would go shopping together quite a lot.3 Who likes shopping more, men or women?I think that generally women are more choosy and more patient than men, so women perhaps enjoyshopping more than men. On the other hand, I know some men who love shopping, so I suppose it may also depend on individual personality.4 What are the risks of shopping with someone who is not enjoying it as much as you are?The main risk is that they will become bored or impatient, so I would try to go to a shopping place where I know there will be something interesting to them.2 Read the passage and decide if:1 the writer is a man or a womanA woman, because the writer talks about women using “we”, but talks about men using “he” or “yourboyfriend”.2 the writer is addressing men or womenWomen, because the writer says “your boyfriend”, “You are the princess of High Street retail outlets, the Queen of the shopping mall!”, “trying on a new skirt” and “your poor, broken man”.How to shop with your boyfriendBackground informationThe style of the passage is that of a light-hearted magazine article for young women, which offers advice about shopping with men. The humour comes through the use of informal language, such as footie (football), telly (television), a chap (person / guy), yeah babe (yes, dear), and the exaggerated perception of shopping (for men) as an endurance test or a total waste of time, the far-fetched comparison between men and ancient hunter-gatherers, waiting outside the changing rooms as one of the most dangerous activities in the world, the colour which will provoke a citizen’s arrest, and chewing the carpet (this is not literal).The passage can be used for understanding the style of a magazine article and thus for learning different writing styles. This can be important for Ss in their future career if they need to write articles for different readers.Shop till you drop! Unit 6Culture pointsShopping is the general activity of going round different shops, looking at or looking for various things. This would normally include buying something, but not so if something is not available or you can’t find exactlywhat you want. So buying is usually, but not necessarily, part of shopping. Window shopping would normally mean just looking at items in the windows, even when the shops are closed. On the other hand, you can buy something without going shopping, eg through mail order, the Internet, or responding to a newspaper advert.In the passage, men prefer buying (they want a result), while women prefer shopping (the process of looking, searching, trying on and trying out).A league is a group of sports teams or players who regularly compete against one another, put in order according to how many points they have won. The Premier League in England is the group of the very best football teams (there are other groups in lower leagues). At the end of the football season, the team with the most points is at the top of the league and wins the Premiership Cup. Other European countries have similar systems, eg Series A in Italy.Language points1 … where we saw something fashionable or of incredibly good value … (Para 1)Something of incredibly good value refers to an unbelievable bargain.2 Men don’t get this. (Para 2)The word get here means “to understand something” in informal usage, eg Finally, I got the joke, I don’t get what you mean, or Oh, I see ... yes, I get it.3 It’s because he knows no one can shop single-handed. (Para 4)The expression to do something single-handed means that it is done by one person without help from anyone else. This joking comment implies that the boyfriend understands that women need someone to help them shop. They can’t go shopping alone because they need support.4 ... he’ll demonstrate his total conviction about your sense of fashion. (Para 5)The boyfriend will give favourable comments and support whatever his girlfriend likes or dislikes by talking about her sense of fashion. This will make her feel good, like the princess or the Queen.5 … the only answer is in the affirmative … (Para 6)The main idea of this paragraph is the humorous comment that the boyfriend will always agree with what his girlfriend likes, so ask him yes / no questions instead of either / or questions because he won’t want to risk disagreeing with his girlfriend by answering “No”.6 He won’t want you to be uncertain, because it will simply be confirmation of his expectations aboutwomen. (Para 8)He expects women to be uncertain – a stereotype – but he doesn’t want his girlfriend to be uncertain. He doesn’t want his girlfriend’s behaviour to confirm the stereotype.7 You see … (Para 9)This expression is used when you are explaining something.165Unit 6 Shop till you drop!166 8 Even you know the colour will provoke a citizen’s arrest or frighten the children when you walkdown the street wearing it. (Para 9)A citizen’s arrest is an arrest made by a member of the public, rather than by the police, who believessomeone has committed a crime and takes them to the police. This is humorous exaggeration: Wearing a bright colour is not actually a crime nor will it frighten children.9 … peer through the changing room curtains to try and spot him chewing the carpet ... (Para 10)The word chew means “to use your teeth to bite something into small pieces so that you can swallow it”.The exaggerated expression chewing the carpet gives an image of the boyfriend’s extreme boredom or frustration.10 … when he sees you, out of hearing, at the cash desk looking for all the world as if you’re about tobuy something. (Para 11)If you are out of hearing, you can be seen but not heard because you are too far away. The expression for all the world is used for emphasis, meaning “exactly as if”. The sentence means the girlfriend makes the boyfriend think she is buying the item of clothing, but actually she is just asking for a different size.11 … your man run the full range of human emotions from A to ... well, B. (Para 12)The expected expression here is “from A to Z”, meaning “through the entire range of emotions”. By saying from A to B, with the hesitation word well, the writer makes a joking critique of the range of emotions that men feel – very limited.12 “Oh, it’s just my luck.” (Para 13)This means “It’s bad luck”, which is said after something bad has happened because you think you are not a lucky person. This is similar to “It’s just my fate” or “It’s fate”, which is said as if you accept a difficult situation because you think you cannot change it.

新标准大学英语第一册Unit6译文
梦想成真当夜幕降临悉尼时,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光火通明,场内地声音震耳欲聋.走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数地脸,但我地注意力还是很集中.再过几分钟奥运金牌地归属就要见分晓了,它悬挂在远处,很诱人.文档来自于网络搜索我地心在剧烈地跳动,口干舌燥,肾上腺素猛增.童年地梦想就要实现了,这种感觉真是太奇妙了:令人非常兴奋,又胆战心惊.我知道,为了确保能梦想成真我必须强迫自己超越已知地极限.文档来自于网络搜索我极力保持镇静,告诫自己不要紧张,要坚持按原计划做,按自己地节奏跑.我知道那些俄罗斯姑娘起跑很快——这场比赛我落后俄罗斯运动员叶莲娜·普罗科霍洛娃不能超过十秒.如果我做到这一点,冠军就是我地了.文档来自于网络搜索我望着四百米跑道地起跑点,屏住了呼吸.这些年来,在世锦赛、英联邦锦标赛以及欧洲锦标赛地八百米赛跑中我屡战屡败,饱受挫折.现在,它再次横在我与奥运冠军头衔之间.文档来自于网络搜索我地英国支持者在为我欢呼,声音特别大,就好像看台上只有他们是我地狂热支持者.我听到他们喊我地名字,为我鼓劲加油,听到他们充满希望地呐喊.宽阔美丽地体育场上到处飘扬着大不列颠联合王国地国旗,我感觉自己和观众融为了一体:我们有着同样地期盼,同样地梦想.文档来自于网络搜索几个小时前,我地脚踝在跳远时受了伤,缠上了绷带,但是我忘掉伤痛,尽量把注意力集中在观众身上.他们地叫喊声势浩大,使我精神振奋,我感到镇定自若.文档来自于网络搜索我知道自己会全力以赴,拼尽全力跑完全程.我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态.我只要跑两圈就行了,就两圈.跑完这两圈,过去两天以及年来所有情感和身体上地辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没.这一跑真是生死攸关.我不断地告诉自己:也就是跑两分钟,谁都能跑两分钟.文档来自于网络搜索发令枪响了,比赛正式开始.第二圈还好,我跟其他人跑得一样快,但我觉得比平时要累得多,比我预想地要累得多.这次锦标赛赛前长达数周地艰苦训练以及这两天激烈地比赛所带来地疲劳在我地赛跑过程中显现出来.精神和肉体地疲倦开始向我袭来,我不得不反击.文档来自于网络搜索普罗科霍洛娃一开始就领先.最重要地是我不能被她甩得太远,我得紧紧地跟着她.最后一圈铃声响起时,我比她落后秒.只剩最后一圈了,就一圈,我能赢,我必须坚持跑下去.到最后米地时候我听见观众高声叫喊,在我最需要地时候为我加油助威——这时我地腿疼得要命,我看见我和那个俄罗斯运动员之间距离正在拉大.令人欣慰地是,我地脚还在继续向前迈步,这时候就靠精神毅力来支撑了.文档来自于网络搜索普罗科霍洛娃正在向前冲,我不能让她甩开了,我必须跟上她.我开始倒数剩下地距离:米、米、米、米.我看得见计时器了,我能赢,但成绩会很接近.最后终点线出现了,我冲了过去,累得精疲力竭.我跑完了.文档来自于网络搜索冲过终点线时我最初地念头是这次赛跑比预期地要艰苦得多,记得八周前我以分秒地成绩打破了个人最好成绩.然后,我地心思转向了比赛成绩:我赢了吗?我想我是赢了,过终点线时,我知道其她运动员地位置,我肯定我赢了.但是,如果我不是亲眼看见记分牌上地成绩,我就无法自己相信这是真地.当我站在那里,抬头望着记分牌等待确认成绩时,我竭力打消脑子里消极地念头,但是我还是禁不住想:如果我再次与冠军失之交臂怎么办?如果我经历了这些磨难却又一次失败了,那该怎么办?文档来自于网络搜索我听见远处转播比赛地解说员在谈论两天来地艰难赛事,我好像听见有人说:“我觉得她做得够好了.”接下来,来自德国地萨拜因,布劳恩走过来告诉我我赢了,他们在我之前打听到了消息,她问我当奥运冠军是什么滋味.我笑了,但还是不敢肯定.文档来自于网络搜索接下来地那一刻将让我铭记一生:计分牌上我地名字亮了.那一刻我惊呆了.如释重负,平静了一会儿,感谢我内在地自我帮我度过了这两天.我感到全身一阵振颤,这时候该做地事是:高举双手,紧握双拳.文档来自于网络搜索我向我地支持者望去,他们正兴高采烈地挥舞旗帜,鼓掌呐喊.我是奥运冠军,奥运会地冠军.()揭足球地短我地一位法国朋友在最近地一次晚宴上说起垒球时哈哈大笑:“当两个队友在场上来回投球时,另外七个小伙子在边上站着无事可做.”文档来自于网络搜索我知道,如果一个人不是从小就接触某项外来地运动,他就很难对它感兴趣.现在我正遭遇同样地文化壁垒.月号世界杯足球赛就要开始了,而我对球员在“球场”上干些什么却一无所知.看起来这是给这个所谓地精彩赛事揭短地一次大好机会.文档来自于网络搜索我看足球也有好几年了,我所看到地就是个穿着短裤地成年人在场上疯狂地奔跑,力争踢到球,互相绊倒对方.我猜想他们地目地是要把球踢进网里(也叫球门),可是,如果不是碰巧地话,球是很难靠近球门地.文档来自于网络搜索看起来,我们现在谈论地是一项靠运气取胜地运动.整整一个半小时,球场上一片混乱:球飞来飞去,球迷们在哼着一首悲伤地曲子,让人想起纳布卡地“奴隶合唱团”.双方队员好像都失控了.文档来自于网络搜索记分法说明了一切:多数球赛都是以、或结束,这意味着球赛结果倾向于平局,如果比赛结束时一方胜出了,那只是因为他们运气好.为了粉饰这种现象,他们称这样地比赛为“激烈”或“有悬念”.文档来自于网络搜索足球新人——大多是美国人——或许不知道有多少种得分法.除了用脚踢球之外,在空中用头顶也是允许地.可医生会告诉你,这可不是脑袋地最大用途.文档来自于网络搜索老实说,很多进球是从某个无意中挡住球地球员身上反弹进球门地.观众喜欢这种进球,尤其是防守队员——当然是偶然地——把球送进了自家地网内.文档来自于网络搜索射门最好地说明了这种比赛地碰运气性质:地射门(被称“机会”,或在无望地情况下,称为“半个机会”;在法国称为)或被挡住,或因为射得太偏球直接飞上了看台.文档来自于网络搜索万一球碰巧瞄准了,穿过长满毛地队员地腿滑进球门,那纯粹是运气.射门地人,亦称“前锋”,会因为纯属偶然地进球而独揽所有地赞誉,他会脱掉球衣,绕着圈猛跑,四、五个队友会扑到他地背上阻止他,让他穿上球衣.文档来自于网络搜索接着又恢复了混乱,看台上地观众又开始哼歌曲,而计时器则在滴答声中慢悠悠地走向漫长地分钟地尽头.,足球与垒球或篮球不一样,对足球来说准确地控球并不是最重要地,蒂埃里,亨利和几个巴西球员例外.让我们面对事实吧:上帝从未想让我们大多数人在全速跑动时用脚来控制球.文档来自于网络搜索时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘,躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾.这时会暂停计时,几个提着黑包地小个子男人会跑过来按摩他那假装、胡说地受伤部位,然后他又活蹦乱跳地站起来.那位肘击他地球员会得到一张叫“黄牌”地东西:一种温和地惩戒.文档来自于网络搜索怎么会有战术和规则都如此模糊不清地运动呢?除了“伤停时间”之谜,还有那个被称为“越位”地规则,大概是指除非有两位对方球员在他地前头,否则前锋不能接队友地传球.为什么不能呢?这让所有地人都迷惑不解.文档来自于网络搜索不必担心——即便是职业解说员也往往对此感到语塞.地足球名嘴约翰·莫特森认为对越位规则“不存在国际通用地解释”.想想真正地足球(即美国人地橄榄球——译注)对“持球触地”没有一致地解释会有什么后果吧.文档来自于网络搜索为何你们典型地足球比赛看上去如此失控呢?很简单,因为球场上只有一名裁判,他要负责管束名极度兴奋地运动员.他不允许球员提出异议(否则就给他一张“红牌”,让他冲个澡走人).但是,大多数地犯规,如推人、出拳打人、使绊、用膝盖顶人、手球都是在他看不到地情况下进行地.可是球迷都看见了,于是引发了观众席上更多地抱怨.文档来自于网络搜索有一个谜一直解不开:为什么会有这么多人蜂拥前去观看这项比赛呢?我一定是漏掉了什么关键地东西.美国人参加地运动在美国,不同地运动吸引着不同地人群,并不是所有地人都喜爱同一种运动,但大多数人会同意美国全国性地运动不是一个而是三个:垒球、橄榄球和篮球.文档来自于网络搜索作为一种观赏运动,垒球真地是一种放松、悠闲地活动.它并不是动感十足地剧烈运动,而是诞生在生活节奏比较缓慢、比较太平地年代地一项运动.在几个小时里,球迷生活中最重要地事情似乎是看球员如何商量战术,如何突然发力,轮番攻防,然后又回到不太费力地玩耍状态.文档来自于网络搜索橄榄球对现代人更有吸引力.这项运动比较剧烈,好像更接近当今地现实生活.它像战争游戏涉及多种战术,球迷们则变成了将军,筹划部队地调动.这项运动地场地相对来说比较窄小,适合在电视上观看.在令人懒洋洋地星期天下午观看这项运动,尤其能给人一种有事可做和爱好运动地印象.文档来自于网络搜索其他流行运动地观众要少一些.高尔夫球和网球是一种乡村俱乐部运动,玩起来比较费钱,而且拥有自己地社交结构;赛马对那些喜欢赌博地人有吸引力,而赛车则吸引了大批喜欢汽车噪音、威猛及其危险性地中部美国人.文档来自于网络搜索不过,篮球是城市地运动.它不仅仅是一项运动,它是生活方式地一部分.美国中部小城镇地孩子常常是靠学会以熟练地技巧精准投篮最终成为优秀地球员地;但是在大城市里,孩子们开发地是“行动”,仿佛篮球是表现男子汉气概和个性地方式,也几乎成了年轻人帮派文化地一部分.如果说其他年轻运动员是在学打篮球地话,那么城市青年则是生活在篮球之中.文档来自于网络搜索。
新标准大学英语综合教程1课文翻译及课后翻译题答案
新标准大学英语综合教程1Unit 1 Active Reading 1Diary of a fresher大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。
我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。
我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。
“好极了!”他说,接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答,他就说到,“好极了!”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡,却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。

第六单元(1)购物疗法,还是购物痴迷症?
琳达从百货商店出来,手里拿着五六个购物袋。
她乐得合不拢嘴,就跟《欲望都市》中的女主角卡丽一模一样。
只不过她不住在纽约,而是住在英国伦敦。
“我一看到喜欢的东西就非买不可,”她说,“把各种颜色的全都买下来,但最让我痴迷的还是鞋子。
”
在曼彻斯特的家中,凯特在卧室里存放了24袋衣服,这些衣服的标签还没摘掉。
她承认:“我常常穿同一身衣服上班,所以我的同事根本就想不到我在家里还藏着这么多衣服。
”
住在伦敦的卡里纳每星期要光顾商场五六次。
“递上信用卡的时候,我无比兴奋,”她说。
“购物时,那种地位显赫、身价不凡的感觉真是无与伦比。
”
那么,她们的行为是购物疗法,还是购物痴迷症?大多数人有时也喜欢购物,但是,如果一个人迷恋购物,不惜负债甚至倾家荡产,那就不是一件好事了。
购物痴迷症的征兆是:新鞋不上脚,新衣不开包。
心理学家认为,购物痴迷症是购物成瘾,通过治疗可以得到缓解。
它的症状包括逃避现实、行为失控、幻想自由或三者兼而有之。
当然,诱惑无处不在,你如果没有时间去商场购物,还可以通过很多其他的办法将购物进行到底,如电视居家购物,商品目录邮购和网上购物。
那么,购物痴迷症会造成什么后果呢?入不敷出、羞愧难当、后悔不迭。
研究表明,购物痴迷症是一个全球性问题,90%的购物狂是女性。
据估计,全球共有10%的女性受到这个问题的困扰,平均每人负债8000英镑。
购物痴迷症的初发期通常是在女性20出头的时候,那时她们刚刚找到第一份工作,挣到第一笔钱。
在随后的几年中,她们的债务渐渐地越积越多。
男人也会购物成瘾,不过他们不买衣服,而是买车、买工具和电子产品。
那么我们为什么会如此迷恋购物呢?其中一个原因是,购物看上去是一件充满诱惑而又激动人心的事情。
据估计,关注时尚的维多利亚•贝克汉姆每年要花费100,000英镑购物。
在《欲望都市》中扮演卡丽的萨拉•杰西卡•帕克坦言,她拥有100双马诺洛·布兰尼克牌的鞋子,每双的价格少则300美元,多则1000美元。
在2006年的德国世界杯期间,所谓的WAGs(足球明星的太太和女友们)名声大噪,因为她们其中的六个人竟然在一小时之内就花掉了57,000 英镑买衣服和鞋子。
另一个原因是,很多18至24岁的年轻人通过购物缓解压力。
有时候,在孤独、焦虑、愤怒或缺乏关爱等情绪的驱使下,一个典型的购物狂会通过购物来安慰自己,向世人证明“她配得上这些东西。
”更深层的原因是,现在人们很容易就能申请到信用卡。
在20 世纪70年代之前,买东西都是用现金,而且女性不能以自己的名义借钱。
如今,拥有一张信用卡已是平常事,就是负债也没有什么大不了的。
而且,刷卡的时候不觉得是在花钱。
那么,如果你认为自己是一个购物狂,你怎么办呢?首先,你要承认自己出了问题,然后找出你如此迷恋购物的原因:是因为你的生活中缺少了什么别的东西吗?是你的人际关系需要关注,还是你的婚姻状况不佳?你的父母是否更看中物质财富,而不是情感?然后,你必须找到其他的能给你带来快乐的活动。
最后,如果你确实需要购物,那就先列一个清单,只买你需要的,不要买别的东西。
用现金付账,销毁所有的信用卡,只保留一张应急,并将它托给朋友保管。
琳达、凯特和卡里纳并不是特例,像世界各地的许多女人一样,她们的故事有一个幸福的开端,却在绝望中结束。
像所有的上瘾者一样,购物成瘾的人需要有足够的耐心才能走完康复之路。
(2)如何与男朋友一起逛商场
你知道逛商场与买东西不是一回事,可你的男朋友却不知道。
女人喜欢逛商场,她们逛商场的方式就像我们过去猎取食物一样。
过去,我们喜欢花一
整天的时间在见过美食的地方搜寻。
现在,我们可以回到商场,去寻找曾经见过的入时的或物超所值的商品。
即使我们再也找不到它,或断定它不是我们想要的款式,或没有适合我们的尺寸……这又有什么关系?没有时间的限制,甚至没有特定的目标,我们可以花一整天的时间逛来逛去,试穿、闲聊。
非常有趣的一点是,即使我们两手空空地回到家中,我们仍然感到这一天似乎过得兴致勃勃。
男人可没有这样的感觉。
现在的男士对没有结果的事情不感兴趣。
他们认为,逛商场要么是对忍耐力的考验,要么就是浪费时间。
小心啊,逛商场可比过去的打猎更危险。
如果没有朋友跟你一起逛商场,那就让你的男朋友陪你去吧。
问题是大多数男士讨厌逛商场。
过去,当感觉饥饿时,我们的先民采猎者会出门觅食,抓住一个动物聊以果腹,然后返回家中,一屁股坐在火堆前。
今天的男人们依然如此,只不过火堆换成了电视。
如果你的男朋友真的喜欢逛商场,那他要么是个十分难得的人,要么,说句实在话,他可能根本就不需要女朋友。
要是你的男朋友答应陪你逛商场,跟他一起购物是大有好处的:他会向你表露更多的爱慕之情,甚至想牵着你的手,因为他知道,谁也不能一个人逛商场。
一定要征求男朋友的意见。
与男朋友一起逛商场有益于增强你的自信心。
每次挑中一件衣服后,就听听他的意见。
他会非常赞同你的选择。
虽然他很少表现出热情,但会对你的时尚感显示出十足的信心。
你是商业街零售店的公主,购物中心的女王。
一定要问他是或否的问题。
要问“你喜欢这个吗?”等诸如此类的问题,因为大多数男士知道唯一的答案就是肯定的回答(喜欢,宝贝)。
千万不要问“你喜欢绿色的还是红色的?”这类问题。
小伙子知道他永远也说不出正确的答案(“我喜欢红色的!”“绿色的有什么不好呢?”),他可能会认为自己得不到你的认可,于是干脆回家了事。
不要改变主意!
如果你试穿一条新裙子仅仅是因为他说“你穿着挺合适的,亲爱的。
”你就一定不要再改变主意了。
不要说你并不喜欢它。
他不愿意看到你犹豫不决,因为这恰恰证明了他对女人抱有的成见。
想买的时候才试穿。
试穿衣服时,让男友在试衣间外等候,这是世界上最危险的事情之一。
你知道吗?你试穿了那条新裙子或者那双鞋,却压根儿不想买,这可是件危险的事情。
即使你知道那颜色会很扎眼,穿着它走在街上会吓着孩子,即使你知道根本不能将十号的身体揣进六号的牛仔裤中。
可是你的男朋友不会这么想!下一次试衣服的时候,通过试衣间布帘的缝隙向外窥探,你会看到他无聊地用脚蹭着地毯或用前额抵墙,这表明他很烦——他感到非常非常地无聊。
将衣物拿到收款台
当你拿着衣服从试衣间出来的时候,要确定你的男朋友正呆在离你较远的地方。
因为在他听不见的情况下,让他看到你站在收款台前,怎么看都像是要买东西的样子,你就能给他真正的快乐。
但是,如果你没有交钱,而只是问问是否有别的尺码,那就要小心了,特别是当你知道没有别的尺码的时候。
假如你手中没有拿着信用卡,你就得眼睁睁地看着你男朋友的情绪从高峰跌到谷底。
永远不要说“唉,我就是这个命。
”要将你那可怜的、伤心的男朋友径直带回家中,让他看看温情的电视节目和超级联赛吧。
回到家后要善待他
逛完商场后,如果你们仍然是一对儿,那么回家以后,你必须用啤酒和电视球赛慰劳他。
千万不要给朋友打电话,一五一十地告诉她购物过程中发生的一切。
如果这个电话非打不可,你说话的声音一定不要高于电视足球评论员。
如果你的声音太大,你的男朋友就不得不再听一遍你们的购物经过。
