学会接受教育（Becoming Educated)就这样,我在波士顿大学,处在一个全新的,陌生的,不同的世界。

我突然想到如果我要在这次陌生全新的冒险中成功的话,我就得比我们法学院的同学们阅读更长时间的书籍,而且要读得更加透彻。

我觉得,为了弥补我在早些年所错过的东西,我要比其他任何人更努力工作,花更多时间学习。

我仍然有那样的感觉,我不想我的同事知道我在理解内容,短语,想法,过程这个时间段是多么的艰难。

我不想我的同事知道那件事。

所以我在阅读时不在法学院而在图书馆,研究生宿舍,楼上,那些安静的地方,因为显然没有其他人在那里学习。

所以我会去哪里一个晚上在吃饭之后.我会夹着我的书去图书馆,然后我会阅读到凌晨之后再去睡觉.那些年期间我没能好好睡眠.若是我在晚上得到3到4个小时,我就很幸运了,因为我不得不熬夜.我不得不.教授会为第二天分配作业,并且这些作业必须被阅读和理解否则我就会被落下,我已经落下了,如果我不努力学习,我就会被落的更远.当我被要求在班级里回答问题时我总是高兴的.但是教授不大会提问”女生们”。

特定的受到喜爱的人会经常被提问，然后在一些珍贵的场合，一位教授会进来宣布：“我们今天将要过女生日。

”然后他们会提问女生们。

我们只是忍受，当提及法律课题时，我们不被认为是尖子生。

在春天，比尔吉布森，他和我的新室友约会诺玛沃克组织了一个黑人学习小组，正如我们黑人不得不形成我们自己的。

这是因为我们没被邀请进入任何一个其他的学习小组。

我们组有6/7个成员，比尔和萨还有梅纳德杰克逊收集交流和听取我们怎么做。

我学到的一件事是，我们必须讲出来，问题，事实，案例还是过程。

我们不能仅仅阅读案例，独自在图书馆里学习，正如我以前一直那样，呆在教室里学不到全部。

但一旦我们在学习小组中讲出来了，接下来就变得更简单更容易理解了。

我不时会去罗利街2号看看路易斯是怎么做的。

她总是在看《红书》。

在那里我每次想要和她讨论某件事的时候，她会同时在阅读《红书》上的一则简短的故事。

英语泛读教程第二册翻译 Unit 1 the Shadowland of Dream

梦想的阴暗之面艾力克斯•哈利许多人怀有美好的愿望，期望能成为作家，但是能够梦想成真的人不多。

艾力克斯•哈利也想成为作家，可是他成功了。

阅读下面这篇文章，看一看他成功的原因。

许多青年人对我说，他们想成为作家。

我一直鼓励这样的人，但是我也向他们解释“成为作家”和写作之间存在着巨大的差别。

多数情况下这些年轻人梦寐以求的是财富与名誉，从未想到要孤身一人长久地坐在打字机旁。

“你们渴望的应该是写作，”我对他们说，“而不应该是当作家。

”事实上，写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作。

有一个被命运之神垂青的作家，就有成千上万个永远无法实现梦想的人。

即使那些成功人士也经常受到长久的冷落，穷困不堪。

我便是其中之一。

我放弃了在海岸警卫队做了二十年的工作，为的是成为一名自由撰稿人，这时，我根本没有前途可言。

我所拥有的只是一位住在纽约市的朋友，乔治•西姆斯，他和我是在田纳西州的赫宁一起长大的。

乔治为我找了个家，位于格林威治村公寓大楼中的一间腾空的储藏室，而他是那幢大楼的管理员。

房子里冷嗖嗖的，没有卫生间，不过这没什么。

我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己颇象一位名符其实的作家。

然而，大约一年后，我的写作生涯依然没有任何起色，我开始怀疑自己。

卖出一篇小说是如此艰难，以至我几乎填不饱肚子。

但是，我清楚的是我想写作，我已梦寐以求了许多年。

我并不准备成为一名到死时还在想假如的人。

我会坚持把我的梦想付诸实践-- 即使这梦想意味着不稳定的生活和对失败的恐惧。

这是希望的阴暗面，任何心存梦想的人都必须学会在这阴暗面下生存。

后来有一天，我接到了一个电话，由此改变了我的一生。

这并不是一位代理人或编辑打来电话，主动要求与我签大的稿约。

恰恰相反-- 是一声鸣笛，诱使我放弃梦想。

打电话来的是海岸警卫队的老熟人，现在在旧金山。

他曾经借给我几美元，喜欢催我还给他。

“我什么时候才能拿到那十五美元，艾力克斯？”他逗我说。

“等我下一次卖出作品吧。

”“我有个好主意，”他说，“我们这儿需要一位新的公共信息管理员，年薪六千美元。

UNIT1 又一学年——为了什么？约翰·切阿迪1.给你们讲讲我刚当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。

那是1940年的1月，我从研究生院毕业不久，在堪萨斯城大学开始第一学期的教学工作。

一个瘦高，长得就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂，坐下，双臂交叉放在胸前，看着我，好像在说：“好吧，教我一些东西。

”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。

三周后他双手叉腰走进我的办公室，“看，”他说，“我来这是学习当药剂师的。

我为什么必须读这个？”由于没有随身带着自己的书，他就指着桌子上放着的我的那本。

2.虽然我是位新老师，我本来可以告诉这个家伙许多事情的。

我本来可以指出，他考入的不是制药技工培训学校而是大学，而且他在毕业时，应该得到一张写有理学学士而不是“合格的磨药工”的学位证书。

这证书会证明他专修过药剂学，但它还能进一步证明他曾经接触过一些人类发展史上产生的思想。

换句话说，他上的不是技能培训学校而是大学，在大学里学生既要得到培训又要接受教育。

3.我本来可以把这些话都告诉他，但是很明显，他不会待很长时间，说了也没用。

4.但是，由于我当时很年轻而且责任感也很强，我尽量把我的意思这样表达出来：“在你的余生中，”我说，“平均每天24小时左右。

谈恋爱时，你会觉得它有点短；失恋时，你会觉得它有点长。

但平均每天24小时会保持不变。

在其余的大约8个小时的时间里，你会处于睡眠状态。

5.“然后在每个工作日8个小时左右的时间里，我希望你会忙于一些有用的事情。

假设你毕业于一所药科大学——或工程大学，法学院，或者其他什么大学——在那8个小时时间里，你将用到你的专业技能。

作为一个药剂师，你要确保氯化物没有和阿斯匹林混在一起；作为一个工程师，你要确保一切都在你的掌控之中；作为一个律师，你要保证你的当事人没有因为你的无能而被处以电刑。

这些都是有用的工作，它们涉及到的技能每个人都必须尊重，而且它们都能给你带来基本的满足。

无论你还干些什么，这些技能都很可能是你养家糊口的本领。

英语泛读教程第二版1unit 1译文（English Extensive Reading Course Second Edition 1unit 1 Translation）第1单元大树林里的小房子译文：课文一森林中的小屋劳拉·英格尔·威尔德劳拉·英格尔·威尔德写了很多书，讲述她在荒野里的生活。

本文是从中选出的一个真实故事。

1872年，她们全家住在威斯康辛州大森林边儿上的一幢小木屋中。

方圆几里之内没有一户人家，也远离所有的城镇。

一天，她父亲外出，荒野中只剩下她们母女四人。

晚上，来了一只大熊，她们该怎么办呢她们最后会安然无恙吗请看下面的故事？？。

一天，爸爸说春天来了。

大森林中的雪已经开始融化。

雪块儿从树枝上掉下来，落在下面松软的雪堆上，形成一个个小洞。

午间的时侯，屋檐下所有的大冰柱在阳光下颤动闪烁在冰柱尖儿上，一颗颗小水珠摇摇欲坠。

爸爸说，他得去城里一趟，卖掉他一冬捕获的兽皮。

一天晚上，他扎了很大一捆毛皮。

毛皮太多，爸爸把它们紧紧捆在一起时，这堆毛皮几乎和他一样高。

清晨，爸爸把这一大捆毛皮背在肩上，向城镇出发了因为毛皮太多，他没有带枪。

妈妈很担心。

但爸爸说，如果日出前就出发，并且快些走，他可以在天黑前赶回来。

最近的城镇也很远。

劳拉和玛莉从没见过城镇，也没见过商店。

她们甚至从未见过两幢连在一起的房子。

但是她们知道城里有好多的房屋，还有一家满是糖果、印花布和其他神奇东西的商店。

在那里可以买到火药、子弹、盐和糖。

她们知道，爸爸会用毛皮从镇上的店主那儿换回漂亮东西的。

整整一天，她们等着爸爸给她们带回礼物。

太阳下沉到树梢上，冰柱上的水也不再往下滴，她们开始急切地盼望着爸爸的归来。

太阳已经不见了，森林也渐渐暗了下来，爸爸没有回来。

妈妈准备好晚餐，摆好了桌子，爸爸还是没有回来到了平时干杂活的时间，他依然没有回来。

妈妈说，劳拉可以和她一起去挤牛奶，因为劳拉可以帮忙提灯笼。

劳拉穿上了外套，妈妈帮她系好扣子。

在伍斯特理工学院的演讲罗伯特巴拉德或许我受邀演讲的一个原因是，再过几个星期我就五十岁了，但是我对我的将来仍然充满兴奋感，就像三十年前一样。

当时，我大学毕业，准备进入人生一个新的阶段。

对我来说，生活就是一次冒险。

一系列的旅程，一圈圈的环绕。

就像所有伟大的梦想一样，他们都始于一个梦。

当我长大以后，梦想仍然是我生命中的一部分。

每个人都有梦想并努力去使自己的梦想成真。

对我来说，我的梦想就是冒险。

我心目中的英雄是类似于马可波罗，詹姆斯库克船长，和儒勒凡尔纳的小说中那些神话般的人物。

其中一个我欣赏的英雄出自《海底两万里》，包括里面的诺第留斯号核潜艇及尼莫船长。

我最大的梦想就是能建造一艘自己的潜艇然后环游海底世界，成为像尼莫船长那样的人物——能从他的魔力窗户里看到平生未尝见过的事物。

我很幸运拥有这样的梦想。

我的父亲是一名工程师，我的哥哥是一名物理学家。

对他们来说世界充斥着物理定律。

物理定律，多么美妙的一样事物啊。

不管你走到宇宙中的哪个角落它都能适用。

假使你能旅行到我们星系的最远处，发现一个拥有智慧生命的生灵，这些生灵可能从未听说过共产主义或资本主义，律师或政治家，但他们却会懂得物理学的定律。

如果上帝想创造什么定律来引导我们，他也理所当然会包括这个定律在内。

一个像尼莫船长那样伟大的探险家怎么可能会不知道这个主导宇宙的万能定律呢？这个发现对我来说实在太幸运了。

它意味着我的梦想有可能成为现实。

我发现当我尝试去实现我的梦想的时候，我就可以实现。

当我遵循这个物理定律时一切皆有可能。

当它成为可能，梦想就触手可及，就算必须冒很多险进行很多的尝试。

在一次伟大的旅程中，当你拥有了一个梦想，你就会开始为自己准备去实现它。

这都是你们在过去四年中一直做的事。

以我为例，我的旅途是身体力行的。

我觉得自己所做的一切是如此美妙。

我能够远离这个社会去一些更远的地方冒险。

就像伊阿宋智取金羊毛，尤利西斯和他的奥德赛史诗。

当我长大以后，世界板块被极大地开发延伸了，最终定界于天空和海底。

大学英语泛读教程2 unit1课文翻译及课后小题

1.The Pickle JarAs far back as I can remember, the large pickle jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate's treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. "Those coins are going to keep you out of the textile mill, son. You're going to do better than me. This old mill town's not going to hold you back." Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. "These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill all his life like me."We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. "When we get home, we'll start filling the jar again."He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other. "You'll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters," he said. "But you'll get there. I'll see to that."The years passed, and I finished college and took a job in another town. Once, while visiting my parents, I used the phone in their bedroom, and noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose and had been removed. A lump rose in my throat as I stared at the spot beside the dresser where the jar had always stood. My dad was a man of few words, and never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance, and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done.When I married, I told my wife Susan about the significant part the lowly pickle jar had played in my life as a boy. In my mind, it defined, more than anything else, how much my dad had loved me. No matter how rough things got at home, Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar. Even the summer when Dad got laid off from the mill, and Mama had to serve dried beans several times a week, not a single dime was taken from the jar. To the contrary, as Dad looked across the table at me, pouring catsup over my beans to make them more palatable, he became more determined than ever to make a way out for me. "When you finish college, son," he told me, his eyes glistening, "You’ll never have to eat beans again unless you want to." The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we spent the holiday with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns cuddling their first grandchild. Jessica began to whimper softly, and Susan took her from Dad's arms. "She probably needs to be changed," she said, carrying the baby into my parents' bedroom to diaper her.When Susan came back into the living room, there was a strange mist in her eyes. She handed Jessica back to Dad before taking my hand and quietly leading me into the room."Look," she said softly, her eyes directing me to a spot on the floor beside the dresser. To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins.I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins. With a gamut of emotions choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw that Dad, carrying Jessica, had slipped quietly into the room.

英语泛读教程2课文翻译Lesson 2: The Benefits of ReadingReading is one of the most enjoyable and beneficial activities we can engage in. It not only provides us with knowledge and information but also allows us to escape from the stresses of everyday life.Firstly, reading broadens our horizons and exposes us to new ideas and perspectives. By reading books from different genres, we can gain insights into various cultures, time periods, and experiences. For example, reading literature from different countries allows us to understand and appreciate their unique customs and traditions. Moreover, reading about historical events provides us with a deeper understanding of the past and its impact on the present.Furthermore, reading enhances our cognitive abilities and improves our critical thinking skills. When we read, our minds are constantly processing information, making connections, and analyzing the content. This mental exercise stimulates our brain and strengthens our analytical thinking. With continued reading, we become better at evaluating situations, solving problems, and making informed decisions.Reading also has a positive effect on our emotional wellbeing. When we immerse ourselves in a good book, we can temporarily escape our own problems and enter a different world. This escapism allows us to relax and unwind, reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, reading can evoke a wide range of emotions, such as joy, sadness, or excitement, helping us to empathize withthe characters and situations portrayed in the literature.In addition, reading improves our language skills. It exposes us to a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures, helping us to develop a more extensive and nuanced vocabulary. Reading also improves our grammar and writing skills, as we subconsciously absorb correct sentence structures and writing styles from the books we read.Finally, reading can be a social activity that brings people together. Through discussions and book clubs, readers can share their thoughts and interpretations of the books they read, fostering a sense of community and encouraging meaningful conversations.In conclusion, reading provides numerous benefits, including broadening our horizons, enhancing cognitive abilities, promoting emotional wellbeing, improving language skills, and fostering social connections. Therefore, we should endeavor to make reading a regular part of our lives.。

Unit1美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。

在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人尽快吃完，以便他们也能及时用餐，你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此，时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

因此，我们千方百计地节约时间。

我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流，而不是通过直接接触。

虽然面对面接触令人愉快，但却要花更多的时间，尤其是在马路上交通拥挤的时候。

大学英语泛读教程2unit1课文翻译及课后小题

1.The Pickle JarAs far back as I can remember, the large pickle jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate's treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. "Those coins are going to keep you out of the textile mill, son. You're going to do better than me. This old mill town's not going to hold you back." Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. "These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill all his life like me."We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm.

一、梦想的阴暗之面艾力克斯•哈利许多人怀有美好的愿望，期望能成为作家，但是能够梦想成真的人不多。

艾力克斯•哈利也想成为作家，可是他成功了。

阅读下面这篇文章，看一看他成功的原因。

许多青年人对我说，他们想成为作家。

我一直鼓励这样的人，但是我也向他们解释“成为作家”和写作之间存在着巨大的差别。

多数情况下这些年轻人梦寐以求的是财富与名誉，从未想到要孤身一人长久地坐在打字机旁。

“你们渴望的应该是写作，”我对他们说，“而不应该是当作家。

”事实上，写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作。

有一个被命运之神垂青的作家，就有成千上万个永远无法实现梦想的人。

即使那些成功人士也经常受到长久的冷落，穷困不堪。

我便是其中之一。

我放弃了在海岸警卫队做了二十年的工作，为的是成为一名自由撰稿人，这时，我根本没有前途可言。

我所拥有的只是一位住在纽约市的朋友，乔治•西姆斯，他和我是在田纳西州的赫宁一起长大的。

乔治为我找了个家，位于格林威治村公寓大楼中的一间腾空的储藏室，而他是那幢大楼的管理员。

房子里冷嗖嗖的，没有卫生间，不过这没什么。

我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己颇象一位名符其实的作家。

然而，大约一年后，我的写作生涯依然没有任何起色，我开始怀疑自己。

卖出一篇小说是如此艰难，以至我几乎填不饱肚子。

但是，我清楚的是我想写作，我已梦寐以求了许多年。

我并不准备成为一名到死时还在想假如的人。

我会坚持把我的梦想付诸实践-- 即使这梦想意味着不稳定的生活和对失败的恐惧。

这是希望的阴暗面，任何心存梦想的人都必须学会在这阴暗面下生存。

后来有一天，我接到了一个电话，由此改变了我的一生。

这并不是一位代理人或编辑打来电话，主动要求与我签大的稿约。

恰恰相反-- 是一声鸣笛，诱使我放弃梦想。

打电话来的是海岸警卫队的老熟人，现在在旧金山。

他曾经借给我几美元，喜欢催我还给他。

“我什么时候才能拿到那十五美元，艾力克斯？”他逗我说。

“等我下一次卖出作品吧。

”“我有个好主意，”他说，“我们这儿需要一位新的公共信息管理员，年薪六千美元。

Unit 1Active reading (1)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。

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，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、持不一意见的少数人征服。

”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、持不同意见的少数人。

3 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到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，最终导致了戴高乐总统辞职。

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得以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·亨德里克斯或伦尼·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。
