1.The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The divi-sion commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.2.Automobiles changed the world during the 20th century, particularly in the United States and other industrialized nations. They are indeed of great use to us, but they have brought some hazards as well, such as noise and air pollution, and highway fatalities. It is reported that automobile accidents rank among the leading causes of death and injury throughout the world. Fortunately modern innovators are reinventing the automobile. New propulsion systems, fuels, designs, and means of manufacturing cars have all developed rapidly in the past decade. For example, by using the satellite-aided global positioning system (GPS), a computer in the automobile can locate the vehicle's precise position, and with the application of sensors, smart cars can eliminate most car accidents.3.Well begun is half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 thousand dollars a year in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about hisprospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success.4.Professor Huntington's paper greatly inspired me. According to him, in a plural / pluralistic society, there will inevitably be different opinions. The key is to deal with them in such a way that they can play a constructive rather than destructive role.He argues that in a plural/pluralistic society we must stress/attach importance to interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and looking at issues from the perspective of other people. If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or religions with disrespect, the whole society may be paralyzed.I am convinced that if we put into practice the ideas mentioned above, then there is the possibility of creating a new civilization.5.For my own part. I should certainly hesitate to hire a clerk on his face/appearance alone. Appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might well commit an error in judgment if you went by appearances only with people like Edward Hyde Burton, the character created by Maugham. As far as appearance and manners were concerned, Burton seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes. Kind, gentle and candid, he was described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth. Nevertheless, he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help. He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Turner's death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.6.There is no question that today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, to possess more, and to become a success. Workaholism, a modern addiction, has thus arisen. The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working longer hours and completing more projects, we will enhance our self-worth. Many women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture theiroffspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities. Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to labor longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.7.A severe earthquake occurred all of a sudden at 10a.m. yesterday in a rural area, about 200 kilometers east of the city. Initial reports coming out of the region indicate the earthquake has caused widespread devastation/damage and heavy casualties. Many adolescents were among those injured or killed. Yet it remains obscure exactly how many people were hurt and killed as the entire area has been enveloped in rubble. However, one thing is certain: many of the survivors may face years of pain and suffering. Local people were clearly shaken by this reminder of their mortality. Some religious ones have gathered to pray that it will never recur.st Wednesday my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang,a well-known town looped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in all silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city. Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I'd like to go there again.。

Unit 1 Active reading 1 抓螃蟹大学最后一年的秋天,我们的心情变了。
刚刚过去的夏季学期的轻松氛围、即兴球赛、查尔斯河上的泛舟以及深夜晚会都不见了踪影,我们开始埋头学习,苦读到深夜,课堂出勤率再次急剧上升。
我们都觉得在校时间不多了,以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了,所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。
当然,下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。
我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一,那也太丢人了,因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。
以前每天下午五点以后,图书馆就空无一人了,现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座,小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋,他们脸色苍白,睡眼惺忪,却很自豪,好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。
还有别的事情让大家心情焦虑。
每个人都在心里盘算着过几个月毕业离校之后该找份什么样的工作。
并不总是那些心怀抱负、成绩拔尖的高材生才清楚自己将来要做什么,常常是那些平日里默默无闻的同学早早为自己下几个阶段的人生做好了规划。
有位同学在位于麦迪逊大道他哥哥的广告公司得到了一份工作,另一位同学写的电影脚本已经与好莱坞草签了合约。
我们当中野心最大的一位同学准备到地方上当一个政党活动家,我们都预料他最终会当上参议员或国会议员。
但大多数同学不是准备继续深造,就是想在银行、地方政府或其他单位当个白领,希望在20出头的时候能挣到足够多的薪水,过上舒适的生活,然后就娶妻生子,贷款买房,期望升职,过安稳日子。
感恩节的时候我回了一趟家,兄弟姐妹们免不了不停地问我毕业后有什么打算,我不知道该说什么。
实际上,我知道该说什么,但我怕他们批评我,所以只对他们说了别人都准备干什么。
父亲看着我,什么也没说。
夜深时,他叫我去他的书房。
我们坐了下来,他给我们俩各倒了杯饮料。
“怎么样?”他问。
“啊,什么怎么样?”“你毕业后到底想做什么?”他问道。
父亲是一名律师,我一直都认为他想让我去法学院深造,追随他的人生足迹,所以我有点儿犹豫。
过了会儿我回答说:“我想旅行,我想当个作家。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: EducationText A: Is College the Best Option?大学是否是最佳选择?Part I: Text A in EnglishText A: Is College the Best Option?Nowadays, the decision to attend college or not is a topic of much debate. With the rising cost of tuition and the uncertainty of job prospects after graduation, many people are questioning whether college is truly the best option.On one hand, a college education has obvious benefits. It provides individuals with the opportunity to gain knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and broaden their horizons. College also offers networking opportunities and the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds, which can be valuable in the professional world. Additionally, many employers still consider a college degree as a minimum requirement for job applicants.On the other hand, the cost of college has skyrocketed in recent years. Tuition fees, accommodation expenses, and textbooks can easily accumulate into a significant financial burden. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a college degree will lead to a well-paying job. In today's competitive jobmarket, having a degree no longer guarantees a successful career. Many college graduates find themselves underemployed or in jobs that don't align with their educational background.Furthermore, alternative pathways such as vocational schools, apprenticeships, or entrepreneurship have proven to be successful for many individuals. These options often provide practical, hands-on training and immediate job placement. For those who have a clear career goal and are willing to put in the effort, skipping college and pursuing alternative paths can lead to quicker entry into the workforce and potential financial success.In conclusion, the decision to attend college or pursue alternative paths depends on individual circumstances and goals. While a college education offers numerous benefits, it is necessary to carefully consider the financial costs and job prospects in today's economy. Ultimately, success in any field requires a combination of education, skills, and determination, regardless of whether one obtains a college degree or not.Part II: Text A in Chinese (课文A:大学是否是最佳选择?)如今,是否上大学成为了一个备受争议的话题。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1 A Lost World - Atlantis?Text AThe Story of AtlantisAmong the many mysteries of ancient Greece, Atlantis stands out as one of the most enduring and intriguing. The myth of Atlantis has captured the imagination of generations, with numerous theories and speculations attempting to uncover the truth behind this legendary lost city.According to the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" and was said to be larger than Asia and Libya combined. The Atlanteans, as described by Plato, were a technologically advanced society with impressive architecture, hydraulic engineering, and prosperous trade. However, due to their pride and corruption, the gods decided to punish them and submerged Atlantis into the sea in a single day and night of catastrophic earthquakes and floods.Although there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of Atlantis, many theories have been put forward over the years. Some believe that Atlantis was a real place, possibly a highly advanced civilization such as the Minoan culture of Crete or the ancient city of Tartessos in modern-day Spain. Others suggest that Atlantis is purely a myth or an allegory created by Plato to convey philosophical or political ideas.Regardless of its reality, the story of Atlantis continues to captivate and inspire people. It has become a symbol of a lost paradise, a cautionary tale warning against human hubris, and a reminder of the fleeting nature of power and civilization.译文:第一课海底世界-亚特兰蒂斯亚特兰蒂斯的故事在古希腊的众多谜团中,亚特兰蒂斯是最耐人寻味和引人入胜的之一。

Everyso often, one of thosemagazi nes wouldrun an articl e on the“Car of the Future”. They featur ed unconv entio nal things like smallnuclea r reacto rs反应堆 as powersource s. Yet, frankl y, my car doesn’t do anythi ng that my brothe r’s Studeb akerdidn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burnsgas oli ne. I stillhave to steerit, and it stillruns into things if I don’t steerit carefu lly.But guesswhat? All of thesethings are likely to change in the not-so-distan t future. It may not burn gasoli ne, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not runnin g into things.Airbag s aren’t the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, consid eri ng the recent news aboutpeople occasi onall y beingkilled by theirairbag s in low-speedcollis ions(碰撞), they obviou sly stillneed some develo pment. But they aren’t go ingaway, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appear ing with add iti onal, side-impact airbag s, someth ing some Europe an car manufa cturers alread y offer.Better than system s to minimi ze(使减少到最低限度) injury in the eventof an accide nt ,howeve r, are system s that m inimi ze the likeli hoodof an accide nt happen ing. Future cars may be able to remove many of the majorcauses of accide nts, includ ing drun k-drivin g, and tailga ting. Cars couldbe equipp ed with sensor s that can detect alcoho l in a driver’s system and preven t the car from b eingstarte d, for exampl e. As earlyas next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with radar-equipp ed contro l system s. If the radardeterm in esyou’re closin g too quickl y with the car in front, it will ease u p on the thrott le .Will cars eventu allybe able to drivethemse lves? There’s no reason to thinkit won’t be techni cally possib le, and Merced es is workin g on a system that can brake, accele rateand steera vehicl e down a h ighwa y on its own. Nobody really expect s people to give up all control to theircars, but such system s couldbe used as failsa fe system s to keep cars on the road and bringthem safely to a stop even if the driver sudden ly became disabl ed.71.Why was the author fascin atedby cars becaus e _______.A. othersmallboys likedto own a car of theirown, too.B. he read unconv entio nal things aboutcars in his brothe r’s magazi nes.C. his oldest brothe r lovedto take him to places in his car.D. he subscr ibedto cool car magazi nes.72.By saying "my car doesn’t do anythi ng that my brothe r’s Studeb a kerdidn’t do", the authormeansthat_____.A. my car is far better than my brothe r’sB. my car is not as go od as my brothe r’sC. not much has change d in the perfor mance of cars so farD. much improv ement has been made in the design of cars recent ly73.

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1 Text A: Fighting with the Forces of NatureAmong the forces of nature, wind and water are perhaps the two that have most effect on the land Wind and water, working together, are constantly changing the shape of the land Sometimes the wind blows very hard for a long time This is called a windstorm When a windstorm hits an area, it can cause a lot of damage It can blow away soil and destroy crops It can even destroy buildings and kill peopleWater also plays an important role in changing the land Rivers carry soil and sand from one place to another When the river slows down, the soil and sand are deposited Over time, this can form new land Sometimes a river can change its course This can cause problems for people who live near the riverPeople have always tried to control the forces of nature They have built dams to hold back water and prevent floods They have also planted trees to stop the wind from blowing away the soil But sometimes our efforts to control nature can have unexpected resultsFor example, when a dam is built, it may stop the flow of a river This can cause problems for fish and other animals that live in the river It can also change the climate of the area Sometimes our attempts to control nature can cause more harm than goodTranslation:在自然力量中,风和水也许是对陆地影响最大的两种力量。

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。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课后翻译答案Unit 11)The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. The division commander(营长)instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. By a stroke of luck, the marsh froze over because of the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.Unit 2Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the waypeople live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especiallyhighway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors indesigning and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. Forexample, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to startup the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out fromorbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Unit 3Well begun, half done,as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do hishomework while seeking employment.From my standpoint, whether or not one has done hishomework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of100,000 dollars a years in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers whointerview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor tolearn as much about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of a chance of success.Unit 4Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urbanareas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indiffer ent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to stay and communicate the feeling with our families. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

9.在不远的将来,资本流动也完全有可能脱离达沃斯人式的全球化运行的轨迹。与达沃斯人相对应的是马尼拉女人。这些来自亚洲和其他地方的低薪流动工人正在全世界提供日益增多的关键服务。英国一家医疗保健公司------保柏集团的首席执行官瓦莱丽·戈丁说,要是没有来自菲律宾、印度、尼日利亚和其他地方的移民护士,英美两国的医疗保健体系就会崩溃。她说,与达沃斯人不同,她们毫不掩饰自己强烈的爱国情绪。
7.但是,故去的二十年见证了另外一些重大参与者的出现。发达国家正在开辟一条通向中国和印度的大门的道路-------中国和印度的公司却将眼光投向海外以谋求未来的发展。北京甚至提出了“走出去”的政策,鼓励中国企业购买海外资产。亚洲各国正在形成“一个卓越的创新性环境”,思科系统公司的首席执行官约翰·钱伯斯如是说,“目前中国和印度的工科大学毕业生是我们美国的五倍还多。”那就意味着美国和欧洲的公司正面临着来自外海的高质量且低成本的竞争。难怪那么多西方工人担心失业。“如果问题涉及的是整个蛋糕的大小,那全球化已经被证明是件好事。”贝恩管理咨询公司的董事长奥里特·加迪西说,“如果问题是在于蛋糕怎么分,而你又是西方人,那你就会质疑全球化。”
10.并不是所有的达沃斯人都在追逐全球市场。帕特里克·塞尔在法国经营一家名为尤拉吉奥投资集团的私募股权公司。他抱怨说,欧洲跨国经营中尚有太多的障碍,更别提全球化经营了。因此他的尤拉吉奥投资集团专注于国内市场。“我是法国人,在法国做生意对我而言要方便得多,”塞尔说,“别处也一样。如果你不是意大利人,却要在意大利做生意,你是无法取得成功的。”
