新视野大学英语第三版第一册UNIT5课文翻译unit5testa克莱夫·杨,一位出人意料的英雄1澳大利亚一年一度的悉尼至墨尔本的马拉松比赛全长875公里,被认为是世界上最艰难的马拉松赛事之一,对任何年龄段的世界顶尖运动员来说都是一项严酷的耐力考验。
体能超好的年轻选手在赛前要进行数月的训练,而且还和像耐克和阿迪达斯这样著名的赞助商签约,这些赞助商通过强大的资金和装备支持机制为选手提供资助和装备。
这项比赛历时七天,即使对那些为荣誉和奖金而赛的世界一流运动员来说,这项比赛也是对体能和力量的严峻考验。
在21983年比赛的那天,61岁的业余农民克莱夫·杨(Clive young)也参加了比赛,他已经失去了所有的牙齿。
他穿着橡胶靴,比其他球员年龄大得多。
没有人注意到这位长相奇怪的老人。
他几乎看不见。
观众以为克里夫只是来看比赛的。
当克里夫明确表示他在这里时,他周围的世界级球员首先表达了明显的怀疑,然后鄙视这种怀疑。
显然,人们认为这只是媒体炒作。
3但是媒体记者颇为好奇,所以当克里夫领好自己的参赛号码,走进配备昂贵的特殊装备的参赛选手队伍时,镜头对准了他,聚集的记者们向他抛来一个又一个问题。
他们问:“你是谁?”“你来做什么?”4“我是克莱夫·杨。
我来自墨尔本郊外的一个大农场,我们在那里养羊。
”5他们接着问道:“你为什么认为自己有能力参加这项比赛?跑完全程要花一周的时间,而且每晚的睡眠不足六个小时。
”克利夫回答说:“当我放羊的时候,我必须一次跑两三天。
这场比赛只需要再跑几天。
我相信我能做到。
”7很快,马拉松比赛开始了,年轻的运动员把克里夫远远地甩在了后面。
人们笑了,有些人还大声地笑,因为克里夫甚至连跑步的姿势都不正确。
他跑步的样子怪极了,因为他似乎是在拖着脚走。
随着比赛的进行,体育解说员和观众们的注意力都放到了那些领先的选手身上。
想象一下第二天早上看到新闻报道说克里夫还在比赛的队伍里时,人们有多么惊奇!不仅如此,他还彻夜未眠,一直在跑。

1. What is a compromise? Skim the first paragraph of the text to find it out and then give a definition of it in your own words.
The Language of Compromise
By Leslie Dunkling 1 “Let me give you one piece of advice”, I said to Ted and Mary just before they got married a few years ago. “If you want to stay happily married, always be prepared to compromise. When you have different opinions about something, you each give way a little. You take the middle course. That is compromise.” And I’m glad to say that the young couple seemed to take that advice.

大学英语综合教程1 UNIT5 TextA A simple life well lived原文+译文资料讲解
21世纪大学英语应用型综合教程(修订版)1Unit 5 Part AText AA simpl e life well lived1 The businessman was at the pier of small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman d ocked. Insid e the small boat were several large yell ow fin tuna. The businessman complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how l ong it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “Only a little whil e”.2 The businessman then asked why he didn’t stay out l onger and catch more fish. The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The businessman then asked, “But what d o you d o with the rest of your time?” The Mexican fisherman said, “I sl eep late, fish a little, paly with ma children, take a nap with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play the guitar with my amigos; I have a full and busy life, senor.”3 The businessman scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and I could help you. You shoul d spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats; eventually you woul d have a fl eet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a mid dl eman, you woul d sell directly to the processor and eventually open your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You woul d need to l eave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexican City, then LA and eventually New York City where you would run your expanding enterprise.”4 The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor, how l ong will this all take?” To which the businessman replied, “15-20 years”. “But what then, senor?” The businessman laughed and said, “That’s the best part! When the time is right you woul d announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions.” “Millions, senor? Then what?” The businessman said, “Then you woul d retire, move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sl eep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”5 The fisherman, still smiling, l ooked up and said, “Isn’t that what I’m d oing right now?”6 We live in a worl d in which being successful is everything. Success is measured by power, popularity, control, achievement, and winning. Having more and being more is success. The businessman measured success by the accumulation of wealth and by living an extravagant life. He hel d a Harvard MBA, millions of d ollars, and status as a powerful businessman. “The person with the most toys wins” is a fitting motto.7 Possessions and wealth are not enough. While comforting, wealth cannot fulfill. Benjamin Franklin was of the op inion, “Money never mad e a man happy y et, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.” Wealth may help us to escape emptiness for a short while; it cannot cure it.8 The businessman accumulated money to support his retirement. It was wise to plan for the future. Yet, what sort of life was he living in the present? The businessman was so future-oriented that he hadn’t taken sufficient time to question what the future l ooked like. The businessman was living for what the Mexican already enjoyed – a simple life well lived.9 Rudyard Kipling, giving a commencement ad dress at McGill University in Montreal, said there was one striking thing that d eserves to be remembered about peopl e. Warning the stud ents against an over-concern for money, power, or popularity, he said, “Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.” The businessman dis covered how poor he was when he met the Mexican fisherman.10 Ralph Wald o Emerson d efined succ ess in a simpl e life well lived as: “to laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent peopl e and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to l eave the worl d a litter bit better, whether by a healthy chil d, a gard en patch, or an improved social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeed ed.”11 I think the Mexican fisherman woul d have agreed with Emerson.(731 words) 一个简单的生活生活1商人是在一个小的沿海墨西哥村庄的码头时,一个小的船,只有一个渔夫停靠。

It's very important that he returns my call this afternoon.A: Does he have your office number and your mobile phone number?B: I think so, but let me give them to you again.A: Okay.B: My office number is 714-555-2000, my cell phone number is 909-555-2308. He can reach me at my office number before 6 p.m. or anytime today on my mobile.A: Very well, I'll give him your message as soon as he returns to the office.Questions:1.

Okay, I'll let you know the result when I hear from the personnel department.Applicant: Thank you. Good-bye.Secretary: Good-bye.Part DTelephone MannersMany people complain that they are often treated rudely by people -- especially in business -- whom they telephone. Here is Miss Manners talking about some of the most common telephone problems and how to handle them.What is the proper number of rings a caller should wait before hanging up?Six rings, perhaps eight. If you still suspect the person of lurking there, hang up and dial again. This gives you two chances to get the number right -- and the person time to get out of the bathtub.What do you think about people who ask you, on the telephone, "Who is calling?" before telling you if the person you asked for is there?They are probably mouthing your name at a person who is wildly shaking his head and hands at the very mention of it.What should we do when we reach an answering machine? Is it improper to hang up?It is perfectly proper to hang up on a machine. In fact, proper and improper behavior does not apply between people and machines. We have enough trouble being polite to one another without worrying about whether we treat machines with politeness.What is the proper response to "I'm sorry, I have the wrong number"?"That is quite all right" is enough.Questions:1. According to the passage, who often treat people rudely on the phone?2. How long should a caller wait for someone to answer him/her before hanging up?3. Why do many people on the phone ask you "who is calling?" before they tell you whether the person you asked for is there?4. According to the passage, why is it perfectly OK to hang up on an answering machine?5. What would be an appropriate response to somebody who says "Sorry, wrong number"?。
