现代大学英语精读1 UNIT4 Midnight Visitor 课文翻译
2014101018第四单元Translation of Text A不速之客1 奥萨博与福勒所读过的书中关于特工的描述并不相副。
福勒很失望地跟着他一路走过阴暗的法国旅馆的走廊,在那里奥萨博租了一套房间。
那是一个位于六层的小房间,这种环境很难与这样一位传奇人物联系起来。
2 令他失望的是,首先,奥萨博是一个胖子,而且非常胖。
其次是他的口音,尽管他的法语和德语都还说的过去,但他仍然带有二十年前带到巴黎的新英格兰口音。
3 “你一定很失望”,奥萨博气喘吁吁的回过头说。
“别人说我是一个特工,一名间谍,周旋于间谍和危险之间。
你期望能见到我,因为你是一个年轻,浪漫的作家。
你本来以为今天晚上回碰见神秘人物,枪声,放在酒里的迷药。
4 “然而事情并不像你相象的那样,你在一个演奏法国音乐的餐厅同一个胖子度过了一个乏味的夜晚,而并没有黑眼睛的美女给他传递情报,只是打了个普通电话,将在他的房间里与人有个约会。
你一定已经无聊及了。
”胖男人边低声笑着边开门,并且站到一旁让他那位失望的客人进了房间。
5 “你的幻想破灭了,”奥萨博对他说。
“但是我年轻的朋友,振作起来。
一会儿你就会看到一分文件,这份相当重要的文件曾经让好几个人甘冒生命危险,送到我这儿后,我将把它转交给政府部门。
很快这份文件就很影响到历史的进程。
有点戏剧化,不是吗?”他边说,边随后关上了门。
然后打开灯。
6 当灯亮时,福勒这一天中第一次感到真正害怕了。
因为在房间的中间站着一个男人,手里拿着一只小型自动手枪。
7 奥萨博眨眨眼睛楞了一会儿。
8 “马克思”,他喘着气说,“你真让我吃惊,我以为你在柏林呢。
你在我房间里做什么?”9 马克思很单薄,个子不高,脸上的表情回让人想到狐狸。
要不是那支枪,他看上去并不是太危险。
10 “那分报告”,他低声说道。
“今天晚上将送到你手里的那分报告是有关一些新型导弹的。
我想我要把它从你受里拿走,在我手里比在你手里安全。
”11 奥萨博缓慢走到扶手椅,重重地坐在上面。

Lesson One Half a DayNaguib Mahfous1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform,and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?"4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys.Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?"5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwingme into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said myfather, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life.You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. "8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none ofthem knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"9. "My father, " I whispered.10. "My father's dead, " he said simply.11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady camealong, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable andbeneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. "13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love withmany girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learningnumbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter ofplaying and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.16. In addition, the time for changing one' s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to theparadise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.17. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which wasopened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invade it? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.18. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, betweenearly morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up.Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.19. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me.20. He stretched out his arm and said, "Grandpa, let me take you across."第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。

课文翻译(Unit1——10)第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的,戴的全是新的:黑鞋子,绿校服,红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来,因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行,我也不时的回头看她,希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着,街道两旁是花园和田野,田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学?”我问父亲,“是我做错了什么了吗?”4“我不是在惩罚你,”父亲笑着说道,“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样,成为一个有用的人吗?”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来,扔进那个大大的,高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口,我们看到了宽阔的庭院,站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧,”我父亲说,“加入他们。
笑一笑,给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手,犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来,”他说,“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步,便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我,其中一个走过来问到,“谁带你来的?”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了,”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了,有些孩子哭了起来。
接着,铃响了,一位女士走了过来,后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行,站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台,阳台上带有木制顶棚,从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家,”那位女士说道,“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐,对你们有益的事物,这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪,快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。

现代大学英语精读1(第二版)1-9课文翻译
课文翻译(Unit1——10)第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的,戴的全是新的:黑鞋子,绿校服,红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来,因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行,我也不时的回头看她,希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着,街道两旁是花园和田野,田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学?”我问父亲,“是我做错了什么了吗?”4“我不是在惩罚你,”父亲笑着说道,“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样,成为一个有用的人吗?”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来,扔进那个大大的,高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口,我们看到了宽阔的庭院,站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧,”我父亲说,“加入他们。
笑一笑,给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手,犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来,”他说,“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步,便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我,其中一个走过来问到,“谁带你来的?”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了,”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了,有些孩子哭了起来。
接着,铃响了,一位女士走了过来,后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行,站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台,阳台上带有木制顶棚,从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家,”那位女士说道,“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐,对你们有益的事物,这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪,快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
