新视野大学英语第三版2读写教程课文Text A翻译Unit 1 Text A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何”3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！”4 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
】5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称 They've just ate。
实际上，他们应该说 They've just eaten。
因此，批评学生不合乎情理。
7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
大学体验英语综合教程基础目标上册第四版Unit 1
大学体验英语综合教程基础目标上册第四版Unit 1 Text A我在哈佛的第一周新生迈进哈佛校园的第一天，据说总是令人兴高采烈，激动不已。
这的确也是我来到哈佛第一天的真实写照。
父母陪着我开车驶过主校门进入校园时，那柔和的阳光透过绿树间隙照射在具有历史意义的砖墙建筑物上。
沾满晨露的绿草在阳光下闪闪发光。
我凝视着车窗外面的迷人景色，自忖“最幸运的新生不过如此了！”我们来到了卡纳迪公寓—我的宿舍楼。
我和四个女孩同住在四室一厅的套房里。
这个套房在顶楼，天花板很高，上面有天窗。
从卡纳迪公寓到餐厅和上课的教室，都只需要两分钟的路程。
我很喜欢自己的室友。
我们各自的背景、种族、宗教信仰和兴趣爱好都完全不同。
这也反映出哈佛引以为豪的“多样性”。
第一周，幸亏有这样四个可称为朋友的女孩相伴，帮助我顺利度过了到哈佛后的这段调整适应期。
这一周有许多重要的抉择需要我来做，而没有父母和好友的帮助，有时我会感到十分艰难。
选课是第一步。
在哈佛，新生唯一的必修课是说明文写作。
这一年，我实际上可以选修我想学的任何课程，而且课程的门类出奇地多！我该如何选择呢?庆幸的是哈佛允许新生在“选课周”里到课堂试听。
上课时间和平时一样，我们可以试听任何想选修的课程，多少不限。
如果我最后决定选修某一门课程，我就要完成“选课周”里布置的所有功课。
另外，如果我试听了一门选课表上看似很好的课程，却发现这门课并不适合我，或教授讲课枯燥乏味，我可以决定不选修这门课！同样艰难的是在众多的运动队、出版社团、乐队、戏剧社或俱乐部中做出选择。
到底该参加哪一个呢?在哈佛，就餐肯定也是新生最关注的事情之一。
不仅是一日三餐吃什么——吃的都是美味。
更值得一提的是就餐的环境真的很好。
我们的餐厅更像是一个教堂或博物馆。
桌子、椅子、地板、墙壁，还有高高的天花板都是用华丽的深色木料制作的，油漆得精光锃亮。
而且，大厅里悬挂着枝形吊灯，墙上镶嵌着明亮的彩色玻璃窗，厅里到处可见哈佛历史名人的雕塑和画像。

Unit1text A Love and LogicThe story of a fallacy1I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob.That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket,and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't,so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket.He wasn't the brightest guy.Polly wasn't too shrewd,either.2But she was pretty,well-off,didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup.She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged,brilliant lawyer.If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant,well-spoken counterpart by my side,I just might edge past the competition.3“Radiant”she was already.I could dispensed her enough pearls of wisdom to make her “well-spoken”.4After a banner day out,I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway.What I had in mind was a little eccentric.I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood.We stayed in the car,and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal.“What are we going to talk about?”she asked.5“Logic.”6“Cool,”she said over her gum.7“The doctrine of logic,”I said,“is a staple of clear thinking.Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known.First let’s look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter.”8“Great,”she agreed.9“Dicto Simpliciter means an unqualified generalization.For example:exercise is good.Therefor, everyone should exercise.”10She nodded in agreement.11I could see she was stumped.“Polly,”l explained,“it's tOo simple a generalization.If you have, say,heart disease or extreme obesity,exercise is had,not good.Therefor you must say exercise is good for most people.”12“Next is Hasty Generalization.Self-explanatory,right?Listen carefully:You can’t speak French. Rob can’t speak French.Looks like nobody at this school can speak French.”13“Really?”said Polly,amazed.“Nobody?”14“This is also a fallacy.”I said.“The generalization is reached too hastily.Too few instances support such a conclusion.”15She seemed to have a good time.I could safely say my plan was underway.I took her home and set a date for another conversation.16Seated under the oak the next evening I said,“Our first fallacy tonight is called Ad Misericordiam.”17She nodded with delight.18“Listen closely,”I said.“A man applies for a job.When the boss asks him what qualifications are,he says he has six children to feed.”19“Oh,this is awful,awful,”she whispered in a choked voice.20“Yes,it’s awful.,”I agreed,“but it’s no argument.The man never answered the boss’s question. Instead he appealed to the boss’s sympathy—Ad Misericordiam.”21She blinked,still trying hard to keep back her tears.22“Next,”I said carefully,“we will discuss False Analogy.An example,students should beallowed to look at their textbooks during exams,because surgeons have X-rays to guide them during surgery.”23“I like that idea.”she said.24“Polly.”I groaned,“don’t derail the discussion.The inference is wrong Doctors aren’t taking a test to see how much they have learned,but students are.The situations are altogether different. You can't make an analogy between them.”25“I still think it’s a good idea,”said Poly.26With five nights of diligent work,I actually made a logician out of Polly.She was an analytical thinker at last.The time had come for the conversion of our relationship from academic to romantic.27“Polly,”I said when next we sat under our oak,“tonight we won’t discuss fallacies.”28“Oh?”she said,a little disappointed.29Favoring her with a grin,I said,“We have now spent five evenings together.We get along pretty well.We make a pretty good couple.”30“Hasty Generalizaton”said Polly brightly.“Or as a normal person might say,that’s a little premature,don’t you think?”31I laughed with amusement.She’d learned her lessons well,far surpassing my expectations.“Sweetheart,”I said,patting her hand in a tolerant manner,“five dates is plenty.After all,you don’t have to eat a whole cake to know it’s good.”32“False Analogy,”said Polly promptly.“Your premise is that dating is like eating.But you’re not a cake.You’re a boy.”33I laughed with somewhat less amusement,hiding my dread that she’d learned her lessons too well.A few more false steps would be my doom.I decided to change tactics and try flattery instead.34“Polly,I love you.Please say you'll go out with me.I’m nothing without you.”35“Ad Miserlicordiam,”she said.36“You certainly can discern a fallacy when you see it.”I said,my hopes starting to crumble.“But don’t take them so literally.I mean this is all academic.You know the things you learn in school don't have anything to do with real life.”37“Dicto simpliciter”I said,“Besides,you really should practice what you preach."38I leaped to my feet,my temper flaring up.“Will you or will you not go out with me?”39“Not to your proposition,”she replied.40“Why?”I demanded.41“I’m more interested in a different petitioner-Rob and I are back together.”42With great effort,I sad calmly.“How could you give me the axe over Rob?Look at me,an ingenious student,a tremendous intellectual,a man with an assured future.1ook at Rob,a muscular idiot,a guy who’ll never know where his next meal is coming from.Can you give me one good reason why you should be with him?”43“Wow,what presumption!I’ll put it in a way someone as brilliant as you can understand,”retorted Polly,her voice dripping with sarcasm.“Full disclosure—I like Rob in leather.I told him to say yes to you so he could have your jacket！”。

大学英语读写基础教程Unit1优选份大学英语读写基础教程Unit1 1大学英语读写基础教程Unit1Unit 1Text AMany people often turn a blind eye to the “ordinary" things in life. They are not aware of the existence and importance of the sun, water and air. In this text, the writer tells us how important the sun is to all living things on the earth and what would happen if the sun did not reappear the next morning.Great Baee of FireHugh DownsIn an interview following my 1965 voyage across the Pacific in a small sailboat, I was asked what power I had on that boat. "Atomic power," I told the reporter.I wasn't kidding: The boat did have an auxiliary engine and a limited fuel supply; but its main power was its sails. The sails, of course, did nothing unless there was wind, but the wind would not blow if there were not a temperature difference that made cooler air move into the space vacated by the rising warm air.And there would be no warmer air unless something heated it.That something is an atomic furnace 93,000,000 miles away that pours its radiation constantly on the day side of the turning Earth. It heats the air, makes it rise, sucks in other air, makes it blow on the sails and causes the boat to be pushed. So every sailboat is powered by an atomic engine—the sun.You Gotta Love ItAlthough the sun is very large pared to the Earth, it is one of myriad stars in a very large galaxy, which is one of myriad galaxies in a very large universe. But the sun is special to us because it is the closest star; it holds us in its gravitational grip. And its energy, raining down on the home planet, is utterly necessary for the maintenance of all life.I've often thought that among the things humans have elected to worship over historic and prehistoric eras, the sun is the most appropriate visible object. Sun worshippers were not too far off the mark.For life to continue here, the sun must keep on shining. Scientists say that if it died (unlikely in the extreme—it's good for another 5 billion years), in less than two weeks nothing wouldmove on the Earth's surface. Nothing would remain alive.This is easily seen when you think about how it gets cooler after the sun goes down, and is coolest just before it es up the next morning. If it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit at sunset and goes down to 60 just before dawn, the only reason the temperature goes back up is that the sun reappears and starts warming things up again.When Hell Freezes OverSuppose it didn't do that.In two days the temperature would go to 40, and then 20 (all water would start to turn into ice) and the next day zero, and then 20 below and 40 below, and so on.In about 10 more days, when the temperature was close to absolute zero, the gases of the atmosphere (nitrogen and oxygen) would freeze, putting a light snow of solid nitrogen onto the ground, followed by a fine powder of oxygen.The Earth would then have no liquid water, no atmosphere, and no life.Perhaps these facts refute the foolish sage who once said the moon was more important than the sun, because the moon shines at night, when we need the light, while the sun shines inthe daytime when we don't need it!(509 words)New Wordsinterviewn. a meeting in which a person is asked about personal views, activities, etc. 采访，访问voyagen. a journey or travel, esp. by water 航行，航海sailboatn. any boat that is moved by a sail or sails 帆船atomica. of atoms; having to do with atoms 原子的reportern. __kidv. tease playfully; talk in a joking way 开玩笑auxiliarya. 备用的;辅助的enginen. 发动机limiteda. kept within limits; restricted 有限的fueln. anything that can be burned to produce heat or power 燃料vacatevt. make vacant 腾出，空出furnacen. 炉子;熔炉radiationn. the act or process of giving out light, heat, electricity, or other radiant energy 辐射;发热;发光constantlyad. without stopping; again and again 不断地;经常地suckv. draw (liquid)into the mouth; draw into a position 吸，吮;吸入gottav.

就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧，他们所向披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。
但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。
冰雪卫士奈拉·B·斯密斯1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。
他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。
他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。
但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。
1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫·希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。
希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。
他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。
希特勒希望速战速决，但是，就像在他之前的拿破仑一样，他得到的是痛苦的教训。
仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。
拿破仑发起的战役1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵60万。
这些士兵受过良好训练，作战力强，装备精良。
这支军队被称为大军。
拿破仑对马到成功充满自信，预言要在5个星期内攻下俄国。
不久，拿破仑的大军渡过涅曼河进入俄国。
拿破仑期盼着的速决速胜迟迟没有发生。
令他吃惊的是，俄国人并不奋起抵抗。
相反，他们一路东撤，沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。
大军紧追不舍，但它的长驱直入很快由于粮草运输缓慢而停顿下来。
到了8月，法俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战，这一战役中，双方各有上万人阵亡。
可是，俄国人仍能在自己的国土上继续后撒。
拿破仑未能取得决定性的胜利。
此刻他面临着一个重要抉择。
是继续追击俄国，军队，还是把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克，在那儿度过将到的冬天?拿破仑孤注一掷，决定向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。
1812年9月7日，法俄两军在莫斯科以西112公里外的鲍罗季诺激战。
夜幕降临时，3万名法国士兵以及4万4千名俄国士兵或伤或亡，倒在了战场上。
俄国军队再次撤往安全之处。
