大学英语(一)Unit1课文译文和练习
Unit One TextHow to Adapt to College Life Quickly课文译文如何快速适应大学生活当你第一次进入大学的时候，你会发现，大学生活和高中生活有很大区别。
在高中，我们总是依靠家长和老师帮助我们解决各种困难问题。
然而在大学，我们只能依靠自己。
除此以外，我们必须学会如何与同学、室友和睦相处。
几乎每个大学新生都经历过不同程度的紧张和焦虑情绪。
但是不用担心，现在给你一些建议，希望能帮助你尽快适应大学生活。
1、记住，不是只有你有这种情况。
你宿舍的每个人都有同样的情况。
和他们说说你的恐惧和焦虑。
他们可能也有同样的感觉，并且很乐意向你倾诉他们的感觉。
2、走出你的宿舍。
上大学的好处在于你可以与新的面孔一起重新开始生活。
他们不会知道你的过去，他们只会知道你希望他们知道的事情。
因此，尝试新的事物，不要害怕，试着展现新的个性。
弄清楚真正的自己，弄清楚你希望成为什么样的人，这是最佳的时机。
3、制定详细的学习计划。
学习计划应该包括：你的短期目标，每个阶段要阅读什么书籍，参加哪些课外活动，以及你每天的活动安排。
这会有助于你充分利用业余时间。
4、不要忘记享受大学生活！在大学里，要过得愉快，结交新朋友，和学习新知识。
而寄宿就是一个很好的方式。
和朋友们消磨时间，和学习伙伴一起努力备考。
做疯狂的事情，照相留念，分享有趣的故事----快活地渡过。
你只年轻一次！记住，你的朋友和你的父母都离你不远，只要你打一个电话就行。
记住，每个人的适应时间都是不同的。
从容以对，但最重要的是，学有所成。

No!"<p7>It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions.<p8>Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long.When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course.<p9><8>Unlike</8> my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks!<p10>The situation was far from perfect, though.As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period.Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did.<p11>I began to feel <9>intimidated</9>.So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak.It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.<p12>That was the situation until a couple of years later when I was offered an <10>opportunity</10> to study English through an <11>online</11> course.The <12>communication</12> <13>medium</13> was a computer, a phone line, and a <14>modem</14>.<p13>I soon got <15>access</15> to the necessary equipment, learned how to use the technology from a friend and <16>participated</16> in the <17>virtual</17> classroom 5 to 7 days a week.<p14>Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study;it requires a lot of time, <18>commitment</18> and <19>discipline</19> to keep up with the flow of the course.<p15>I worked hard to meet the <20>minimum</20> standards set by the course and to complete <21>assignments</21> on time.I practiced all the time.I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.<p16>I made many, sometimes <23>embarrassing</23>, mistakes.<p17>Once in a while I cried out of <24>frustration</24>, and sometimes I felt like giving up.<p18>But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before <25>posting</25> it on the screen. <p19>Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English.<p20>Although I was still making many mistakes and was <27>continually</27> learning new ways to say things, I had finally <28>reaped</28> the <29>benefits</29> of all of my hard work.<p21>Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything.<p22>Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me <30>insights</30> into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could <31>communicate</31> with many more people than before.Talking with people is one of my <32>favorite</32> activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships.<p23>Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken,I can participate and make friends.<p24>I am able to reach out to others and bridge the <33>gap</33> between my language and culture and theirs.学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。

随着社会的发展，人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少，而间接的依赖却越来越多。我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中，他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。然而，尽管工具不甚完备，他们却能同心协力，顽强工作，并总是有所收获。在与人类的相互作用中，大自然也发生了改变。森林被破坏了，耕地面积增加了。大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。譬如，森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的，因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的，所谓“文明”，就是人类在哪里建立家园，耕耘土地，哪里的森林就被砍伐。
As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows. Ourdistant ancestorslived in fear of nature's destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtainthe merest daily necessities.However, despite their imperfect tools, theyworked together stubbornly , collectively,and were able toattain results. Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased. Nature with itselemental forceswas regarded as something hostile to man. The forest, for example, was something wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat . This was all donein the name of civilization, which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth wascultivated, where the forest had been cut down.

Suddenly, you trip and spill your coffee all over yourself. Embarrassing, right? But don't worry,everyone has unpleasant experiences like this sometimes. The key is to handle them with grace. Instead of panicking or feeling ashamed, try to stay calm and remember that accidents happen to everyone. Clean yourself up, laugh it off, and move on. People around you will admire your composure.Passage 2Feeling stressed out? Taking a walk outdoors may be just what you need. According to a recent study, spending time in nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. When you're surrounded by nature, your brain enters a state of relaxation, allowing you to focus better and be more creative. So next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, take a break and go for a walk in the park. You'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.。

1适应校园生活——来自世界各地的访谈塔尼娅•扎茹茨卡娅莫斯科，俄罗斯去年的这个时候，我对新生活感到很紧张。
我没有朋友，也是第一次离开家。
一开始，我一天到晚都在忙功课：上课，并且学习到深夜。
可后来我意识到我错过了大学里许多其他活动。
一天，跟我住同一幢宿舍楼的一个女孩儿邀请全楼的人去参加一个晚宴。
我不知道她在哪儿买的那些吃的，也不清楚她怎么会有足够的钱。
而且她穿得像个模特儿。
我真不知道她干嘛还要费那劲儿上大学！现在我结识了许多有趣的人，既努力学习，也快乐地生活。
米古尔•方斯卡瓜达拉哈拉，墨西哥刚上大学的时候，我尽量把教授们在课堂上说的每一句话都记下来。
结果是我光忙着记笔记，都顾不上听讲了。
我现在学的是化学，现在学的东西似乎都比我们在中学里学的复杂。
不过我意识到，在大学里，你应该更多地去听、去思考。
现在，我已弄清新知识和过去所学知识之间的差别了。
弗兰辛•博内里昂，法国我刚来时，这所大学似乎很大，也很不友好。
一开始，我觉得很难适应缺乏指导的自由生活。
上中学的时候，我已经习惯了晚上做家庭作业。
如何使用每月的生活费也让我感到很头疼。
你得买食品、书、公交车票、衣服等东西，这和小时候在家花零花钱大不一样。
每学期的钱是一次性汇来的，所以一开始我总觉得手头相当宽裕。
然后我就大手大脚地花钱，搞到后来每天只能吃一个三明治！我现在认识到家长或老师不再有照顾我的责任了。
长这么大第一次，我该自己打理自己的生活了……可我却不知道该怎么办！2世界各地的街头小吃“快餐”这个词通常会让人想起汉堡包和薯条。
我们会想到送到现代市民手中的过度包装、却并不健康的饭菜。
而人们也只是把食物当作聊以充饥的东西，而不是可以享用的美食。
事实上，快餐并不是现代社会的产物。
到世界上任何一个地方旅游，你都会看到街头小贩的身影，听见他们卖各式各样的地方小吃的吆喝声。
这些小吃通常都是用几样当地的基本配料加工而成，现场制作，立等可取。
商业化的快餐制作采用工业化的加工程序，用现成的配料大量烹制，然后重新加热。

unit 1passage 1情系新奥尔良比尔·克林顿我和外祖父的生日是同一天。
我早产了两三个星期，出生时体重可观，达到6磅8盎司，身长21英寸。
母亲带我回到了霍普镇赫维街上她父母的家中。
在这幢房子里，我将度过未来的四年。
当时这幢老房子对我来说是又大又神秘，至今仍记忆深刻。
霍普镇的居民募了些钱，把房子恢复了原貌，在里面挂了些老照片，摆放了各种纪念品以及当时的家具，他们称此处为“克林顿诞生地”。
毫无疑问，我生命中的很多第一次都与此地有关――第一次闻到了乡村食物的香味；看到了乳酪搅拌机、冰激凌机、洗衣板、凉衣绳；第一次拥有了自己的《迪克和简》系列读物和玩具，玩具中包括当时我最喜欢的一根普通的链条；第一次通过“公共电话”听到了陌生人的声音；结交了最早的朋友，看到了外祖父母干的活儿。
过了一年左右的时间，母亲拿定主意要回到新奥尔良的慈善医院，她曾在那里接受过一点护理培训，学习当麻醉护士。
过去，医生们自己给病人打麻药，因此当时需要有人做这种新的工作。
这份工作使母亲有了更高的社会地位，也给我们增加了收入。
然而，要把我落下，母亲心里准不好受。
话说回来，战后的新奥尔良真是个不错的地方，到处是年轻人，到处是迪克西兰爵士乐，到处是人们频繁光顾的像“至爱吾爱”那种有男扮女装的人唱歌跳舞的夜总会。
在我看来，对于一位年轻漂亮的寡妇来说，这样的一座城市有助于她走出丧夫之痛。
我曾两次去新奥尔良看望母亲，都是外祖母领我坐火车去的……50多年来，从第一次到新奥尔良起，这个城市就一直对我有着独特的魅力。
我喜欢这里的音乐，这里的食物，这里的人，还有这个城市的精神。
15岁那年，我们全家前往新奥尔良和海湾地区度假，就在那次，我平生第一回听到著名小号手阿尔·赫特的演奏，而且是在他自己的俱乐部里。
起先门口不让我进，因为我年龄太小。
就在我和母亲准备离开的时候，门卫告诉我们，赫特就坐在街角处自己的车内看书，只有他才能让我进去。

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm. Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes.After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes,a young waiter, not much more than a boy.came to take their order.He spoke no English,but after a lot of laugher and pointing at the menu,they thought they had managed to make him understand that all the wanted was ice cream.There were several flavours,lemon,chocolate,coffee,orange and vanilla and they both chose coffee. “I love coffee ice cream,”said Ann.After a little while the waiter returned.He was carrying a big trav,which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann.There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray.“We didn’t order coffee,”said Edward crossly, “we ordered coffeeice cream .He ought to be able to understand simple English.”The waiter smiled and looked pleased.“No,”said Ann laughing, “it’s his country.We ought to be able to speak his language.”Key:BCDBCCDAPart3New Item 1In Houston,Texas,a federal investigating jury has charged the Arthur Andersen Company with blocking efforts to justice in the Enron case.Arthur Andersen employees kept financial records and provided advice to the failed energy company Enron.

Every day after school they had gone down to field behind the pub to see what was happening.First the men had put up the big tent and thenmoved in all the seats,and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field,the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised . Sometimes, to their delight ,two young wome n stood on the horses’ backs and galloped round and round. But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into the lion’s cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round.Then the most terrible thing happened;their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus.The children were unable to make her change her mind,and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section FourPart1 Greetings and IntroductionsGreetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture.Their importance can never be overemphasized.In social situations,a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However,in the business world is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position.If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other,introduce the oneyou know less well to the one you know better.There might be occasions where in you will have to introduce yourself.For example,if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate,you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello!I am…” If you have been introduced ear lier to someone,do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new person.Rarely they shake hands while parting.As a part of greeting,sometimes,social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well. If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English,do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a sexually explicit stories or jokes.When you are in a theatre, it’s not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Key:BDDCBBDBAmerican IndiansThe native people of North and South America were given the same “Indians”by fhe explor er Christopher Columbus.He thought he had reached a place called the Indies.In time,the termsAmericans Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live.But many Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no job. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans.Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans.But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school.At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands.One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel,a gambling casino,and a museum of its culture and history . Today,American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights,and mining operations,This includescontrol over hunting and fishing rights, and mining operations.They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them.American Indians are trying to change their economic situation,improve their lives and honor their culture.Key:CCDACBPart2I work in a small office from 9 till 5 Monday to Friday.

Unit 1 college lifeText A A Satisfying College Experience令人满意的大学体验莉亚·思宁斯基2011年8月31日随着时间的推移，我对“你长大想要干什么？”这个老问题的答案变化很大。
四岁时候，像大多数充满希望的学龄前儿童，我很自信的回答，我想成为美国总统。
上小学时，我的目标稍微实际了一点—我想成为一名宇航员或者科学家。
但是，到了初中，警钟响起：我对自然科学没有天赋。
上高中时，我决定在英语方面找到适合自己的位置，我的职业规划是希望自己做自己最喜欢的一块—读和写。
作为一名主修英语辅修新闻的大四学生，我自豪地说我不得不放弃梦想，我长大想要做什么的梦想毫无疑问排在我毕业后能做什么之后。
每当我告诉人们我上大学所学的东西，我收到的是种种疑问，我听到的是各种“为什么”，领会的多，自然就更自信。
大学的三年时光让我明白所有关于大学的陈词滥调都是正确的。
大学是一生中学习最多的地方。
不仅仅在学习上，而且因为大学塑造了未来的我们。
上大学时候所做的选择极大地影响我们培养的兴趣和我们认可的价值观。
刚毕业我可能不能在出版社找到理想的工作，但是我不后悔，也从来没有后悔过我所选择的专业。
今年夏天，在朋友的毕业晚会上，我听着朋友们讨论以后无聊的工作和压抑的研究生生活。
这些都是我最聪明，最有天赋和最勤奋的朋友。
他们的简历令人印象深刻，写满了各个季度的实习，各个社团的职位以及极高的GPA。
他们中很多人都是英文专业。
但是我仍然怀有希望。
在大学，我亲身体验了我所珍视的东西。
体验了记者的生活，完成了采访，体验了截止日期内交稿，体验了看到所写的东西出版的满足感。
在文学课上，我拜读了作家的经典作品，他们的价值观有的我认同，有的我反对，但是他们都使我变得更加智慧，更加有修养，更加开明。
或许需要一段时间，我才能找到像我大学经历那样满意的职业，但是我相信我能找到。
我永远感激自己上大学学的是文科，我知道它将继续丰富我的生活。

大学英语1英语课文翻译IntroductionIn this article, we will provide a translation of an English text that is frequently used as a lesson in a college-level English course. The translation aims to accurately convey the meaning of the original text while maintaining readability and coherence.Text Translation原文：The Value of a College EducationA widely debated topic today is whether college education is worth the investment. The rising cost of tuition fees and the increasing number of graduates struggling to find employment have fueled this ongoing discussion.
