Unit 1 Your college years1你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化?你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标?你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化?尽管大学生很少想这些,但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。
2在这段时期,学生们正经受自我认同危机,他们努力要了解自己的身份,掌握自身的优缺点。
当然,优缺点他们兼而有之,且两者都为数不少。
重要的是人们如何看待自己,其他人又如何看待他们。
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论,根据他们的观点,性格特征是由先天基因(即父母的遗传物质)所决定,由外部环境而形成,并受偶然事件的影响的。
人们受环境的影响,反过来也影响他们的环境。
人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。
3学生们经历自我认同危机的时候,他们也开始渐渐独立,但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。
这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。
事实上,这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。
高中一毕业,一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。
这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。
但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我,因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。
41984年4月杰利弗·A·霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》,文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。
第一,独立处理日常生活的能力,它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力,如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。
第二,态度独立,即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。
第三个心理分离过程是情感独立,霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。
例如,大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业,而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。
大学英语综合教程unit1 textA课文翻译
10) Have fun. Play is good for you and helps you refocus on other pursuits. It truly does recharge your batteries. Find the balance between recreation and dedication. Neither extreme brings ultimate satisfaction. Viewing life as only a party or only a chore will never satisfy your soul. Life -- and especially college -- is an adventure. Don't get so caught up in the ultimate goal that you forget to enjoy the jourclass. Woody Allen once said that 80 percent of life is just showing up. There is no substitute for presence. Ever ask someone to take notes for you? Did you ever understand them?
What makes the difference? From my experience, there are 10 rules every freshman should know.
1) Be a warrior. Warriors are never surprised. That means listening in class, staying alert and asking questions. That means doing all the assignments on time. Go into each class expecting an unannounced quiz.

大学英语综合教程4Unit 1Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。
他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。
人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物,无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。
我们与大自然血肉相连,离开大自然,我们将无法生存。
Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。

UNIT 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。
我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。
我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。
“好极了!”他说,接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答,他就说到,“好极了!”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡,却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。
结束时我看了看笔记,我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
那个女生名叫苏菲,和我一样,也是英语文学专业的学生。

Milton Kramer is a psychiatrist and dream researcher Cincinnati,Ohio.He believes that it is very important that people don't ignore their dreams,because they are messages from our sleeping minds.When Kramer studied dreams and dreamers,he found that people wake up feeling very discouraged after they have a bad dream.He also found that after having a good dream,people feel more optimistic.Clearly,dreams can have harmful or beneficial effects.As a result,Kramer believes that we need to learn how to change our bad dreams.When we understand what happened in our dreams,we can change negative,hurtful dreams to positive,helpful ones。

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。

全新版大学英语综合教程1课文翻译(Unit1-Unit8)Unit 1 Growing Up为自己而写拉塞尔·贝壳从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这—想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装,白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。
他救着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来—本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。
我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—年,不少日子过去了,还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题供我们选择。
像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数—样乏味。
我把作文题带回家,—直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。
我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家—起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有—个吃起来得心应手的。
艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作—团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。
新大学英语卓越篇Unit1课文Find Your Inner Einstein全文翻译标准版
Find Your Inner Einstein找到你内心的爱因斯坦史蒂夫·钱德勒当你再次见到阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的画像时,你要意识到画像里画的其实就是你自己,你要看着爱因斯坦的画像,说这就是我。
每个人都具备某种天才的禀赋,你不必非得擅长数学或物理才能体验到天才的思维,你只需要经常发挥你的想象力,就能体验到爱因斯坦级别的创造性思维。
然而这对于成年人来说却很难做到,因为他们已经习惯于只在一件事情上发挥想象力忧虑,成年人成天就想着事情的最坏情形,他们的想象力都用来呈现他们所担忧的各种情景。
他们没有认识到忧虑实为想象力的一种误用,人类的想象力本应有更好的用武之地,发挥想象力去创造的人通常所获的成就相比,忧心重重的人即便智商更高,其所获得的成就也绝不可能望其项背,经常发挥想象力的人成为同事们称为天才,好像天才是一种基因特质,其实更应把他们视为能够熟练运用其天赋的一般人而已。
基于这种天赋能力的认识,拿破仑曾说想象力统治世界。
还是孩童时你本能的使用你的想象力,这本该如此,你沉浸于梦幻,醉心于虚构,白天你在幻想中上游,晚上在你的右脑里,你在梦境之河上航行。
现在如果你再次回到那种自信与虚幻的状态,你会惊喜的发现,自己居然想出来,这么多既新颖又即刻可用的方案来解决问题。
爱因斯坦曾说过想象力比知识更重要,我第一次听到这句话是对其意思并未理解,我总以为更多的知识才是解决每一个棘手问题的,关键是要多学一些重要知识,所有问题都会迎刃而解,我没有意识到我真正需要学习的不是知识是技能,要主动发挥想象力的技能。
一旦掌握这种技能,我们首先要做的就是开始想想自己到底想成为何种人,关于这方面词曲作家弗雷德·奈普曾写过一句话,作为一段视频的配乐,该视频针对青少年,旨在帮助他们,去想象自己成功地做到他们想做的事情。
那就是你,在你最疯狂的梦里,做着最疯狂的事,别人都无法做到,只要你爱的只要爱恋不舍,那些梦,那些疯狂的梦终会实现。
Unit-1-Love新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译
Unit 1 LoveA Good Heart to Lean OnAugustus J. BullockMore than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.[1] When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.[2] It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient—and because of that, we did n't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you. ”[3] Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.[4] When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn , N.Y. , on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.[5] When I think of it now, I marvel at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And I marvel at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.[6] He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.[7] Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.[8] Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager, he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.[9] On one memorable occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving. He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, “I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! ”[10] Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive even before the bout began.[11] I now know he participated in some things vicariously through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different. ” Those words were never said aloud.[12] He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a “good heart”.[13] At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”善良之心,久久相依当时我没有意识到,是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯• J •布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大,当别人看见我和爸爸在一起,我会觉得很尴尬。

Unit01TestA奔向更加光明的未来1 下午好!作为校长,我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。
你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果,也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。
在这所大学里,我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻,我想起自己高中毕业时的情景,还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。
妈妈吩咐我们:“姿势自然点。
”“等一等,”爸爸说,“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。
”在大学期间,那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。
至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。
你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯,怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。
你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣,你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣!但是要记住:未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
4 对你们而言,接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。
在这里,你们拥有丰富的资源:有来自全国各地的有趣的学生,有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师,有综合性图书馆,有完备的运动设施,还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。
你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。
你们要学着习惯点灯熬油,学着结交充满魅力的人,学着去追求新的爱好。
我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历,并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。
5 有这么多课程可供选择,你可能会不知所措。
你不可能选修所有的课程,但是要尽可能体验更多的课程!大学里有很多事情可做可学,每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。
如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话,那就是:挑战自己!不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。
选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。
这样,你不仅会变得更加博学,而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。
一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇,她最初学的是艺术史。
随着时间的推移,王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来,并将其转化为对设计的热情,从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。

美国总统的住宅迄今为止,已有44人在白宫椭圆办公室履行了56届总统任期。
就在今年2月20日(星期一),我们马上要迎来又一个总统日,而且马上就要举行选举,值此之际,让我们一起看看在过去40年间我们国家最高领导人称之为“家”的地方是什么样子的。
贝拉克·奥巴马总统奥巴马一家于2005年6月以165万美元的价格购买了位于芝加哥肯伍德(Kenwood)社区格林伍德(Greenwood)大街5046号的一座6199平方英尺的双层独栋别墅。
其最终购买价低于别墅要价30万美元。
与此同时,奥巴马总统竞选支持者、商人安东尼·“托尼”·雷兹科(Antoin Tony Rezko)及妻子芮塔(Rita)以全价62.5万美元购买了紧邻奥巴马别墅的一块空地。
六个月后,奥巴马以10.45万美元的价格从雷兹科手中购进了部分空地。
(在一项联邦调查认定雷兹科犯有受贿罪后,奥巴马对《芝加哥太阳报》解释道:“尽管我竭力关注道德行为规范的特定要求,但我错误地预计了从雷兹科先生手中购买额外地产这件事所产生的社会影响,对此,我深表遗憾。
”)奥巴马位于格林伍德大街上的别墅最新估价约为119万美元。

Unit 1 Book 3Do you remember your first love? All those exciting and wonderful new emotions – the way your heart raced when that special person was near –those anxious, awkward moments when you didn't know what to say or do? And then (for most of us) that sad moment when for one reason or another it all came to an end … Ernest Hemingway once said, "Every love story ends as a tragedy" – but the authors of the texts in this unit have a different point of view. Text A focuses on the unexpected side effects of the author's first venture into romance, while Text B recalls the ups and downs of the author's great love for … his car! Finally, the authors of Text C offer some fascinating advice about how to successfully navigate romantic relationships.Text A How I Got SmartA common misconception amongyoungsters attending school is that theirteachers were child prodigies. Who else buta bookworm, with none of the normal kid'stendency to play rather than study, wouldgrow up to be a teacher anyway?I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus. On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.But in my sophomore year, something beautiful and exciting happened. Cupid aimed his arrow and struck me right in the heart. All at once, I enjoyed going to school, if only to gaze at the lovely face in English II.My princess sat near the pencil sharpener, and that year I ground up enough pencils to fuel a campfire. Alas, Debbie was far beyond my wildest dreams. We were separated not only by five rows of desks, but by about 50 I.Q. points. She was the top student in English II, the apple of Mrs. Larrivee's eye.Occasionally, Debbie would catch me staring at her, and she would flash a smile that radiated intelligence and quickened my heartbeat. It was a smile that signaled hope and made me temporarily forget the intellectual gulf that separated us.I schemed desperately to bridge thatgulf. And one day, as I was passing thesupermarket, an idea came to me. A sign in thewindow announced that the store was offering thefirst volume of a set of encyclopedias at thespecial price of 29 cents. The remaining volumeswould cost $2.49 each.I purchased Volume I -- Aardvark to Asteroid -- and began my venture into the world of knowledge. I would henceforth become a seeker of facts.I would become Chief Brain in English II and sweep my princess off herfeet with a surge of erudition. I had it allplanned.My first opportunity came one day in thecafeteria line. I looked behind me and there shewas.“Hi,” she sai d.After a pause, I wet my lips and said, “Know where anchovies come from?”She seemed surprised. “No, I don't.”I breathed a sigh of relief. “The anchovy lives in salt water and is rarely found in fresh water.” I had to talk fast, so that I co uld get all the facts in before we reached the cash register. “Fishermen catch anchovies in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast near Spain and Portugal.”“How fascinating,” said Debbie, shaking her head in disbelief.It was obvious that I had made quite animpression.A few days later, during a fire drill,I casually went up to her and asked, “Ever beento the Aleutian Islands?”“Never have,” she replied.“Might be a nice place to visit, but I certainly wouldn't want to live there,” I said.“Why not?” said Debbie, playing right into my hands.“Well, the climate is forbidding. There are no trees on any of the 100 or more islands in the group. The ground is rocky and very little plant life can grow on it.”“I don't think I'd even care to visit,” she said.The fire drill was over and we began to file into the building, so I had to step it up to get the natives in. “The Aleuts are short and sturdy and have dark skin and black hair. They live on fish, and they trap blue foxes and seals for their valuable fur.”Debbie's eyes widened in amazement.One day I was browsing through the library.I spotted Debbie sitting at a table, absorbed in acrossword puzzle. She was frowning, apparentlystumped on a word. I leaned over and asked if I couldhelp.“Four-letter word for Oriental female servant,” Debbie said.“Try amah,” I said, quick as a flash.Debbie filled in the blanks, then turned to stare at me in amazement. “I don't believe it,” she said. “I just don't believe it.”And so it went, that glorious, joyous, romantic sophomore year. Debbie seemed to relish our little conversations and hung on my every word.Naturally, the more I read, the more my confidencegrew.In the classroom, too, I was gradually makingmy presence felt. One day, during a discussion ofColeridge's “The Ancient Mariner”, we came acrossthe word albatross.“Can anyone tell us what an albatross is?” asked Mrs. Larrivee.My hand shot up. “The albatross is a large bi rd that lives mostly in the ocean regions below the equator, but may be found in the north Pacific as well. The albatross measures as long as four feet and has the greatest wingspread of any bird. It feeds on fish and shellfish. Thealbatross has an enormous appetite, and when it's full it has trouble getting into the air again.”There was a long silence in the room. Mrs. Larrivee couldn't quite believe what she had just heard. I sneaked a look at Debbie and gave hera big wink. She beamed proudly and winked back.What I failed to perceive was that Debbie allthis while was going steady with a junior from aneighboring school -- a basketball player with a C+average. The revelation hit me hard, and for a whileI felt like forgetting everything I had learned. Ihad saved enough money to buy Volume II --Asthma toBullfinch -- but was strongly tempted to invest in a basketball instead.I felt not only hurt, but betrayed. Like Agamemnon, but with lessdrastic consequences, thank God.In time I recovered from my wounds. The next yearDebbie moved from the neighborhood and transferred toanother school. Soon she became no more than a memory.Although the original incentive was gone, Icontinued poring over the encyclopedias, as well as an increasing number of other books. Having tasted of the wine of knowledge, I could not now alter my course. For:“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing:Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.”So wrote Alexander Pope, Volume XIV -- Paprika to Pterodactyl.斯蒂夫· 普罗迪上学的孩子们中间有一种普遍的错误想法,即认为他们的老师当年都是些神童。

Love and logic: The story of fallacy爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事1.I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either.在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后,我和波莉有了第一次约会。
那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克,而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的,他一想到这个就受不了,于是他和我达成了一项协议,用他的女友换取我的夹克。
他可不那么聪明,而他的女友波莉也不太精明。
2.But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition.但她漂亮而且富有,也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。

One Writer’s Beginnings1 I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of day, was there to read in, or to be read to. My mother read to me. She’d read to me in the big bedroom in the mornings, when we were in her rocker together, which ticked in rhythm as we rocked, as though we had a cricket accompanying the story. She’d read to me in the dining room on winter afternoons in front of the coal fire, with our cuckoo clock ending the story with “Cuckoo,”and at night when I’d got in my own bed. I must have given her no peace. Sometimes she read to me in the kitchen while she sat churning, and the churning sobbed along with any story. It was my ambition to have her read to me while I churned; once she granted my wish, but she read off my story before I brought her butter. She was an expressive reader. When she was reading “Puss in Boots,” for instance, it was impossible not to know that she distrusted all cats.我从两三岁起就知道,家中随便在哪个房间里,白天无论在什么时间,都可以念书或听人念书。

Unit 1 College LifePassage A So Much to LearnIt was the last day of final examinations in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors huddled, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam before they went on to commencement and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of four years of college study, they felt ready and able to conquer the world.The approaching exam, they knew, would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.Jubilantly, they filed into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And their smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.She surveyed the worried faces before her, then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”?Not a hand was raised.“How many answered four?”Still no hands.“Three? Two?”The students shifted restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class remained silent. The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” she said.“I just want to impress upon you that, even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.”Then, smiling, sh e added: “You will all pass this course, but remember that even though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun .”The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson she taught.A篇学无止境故事发生在一所东部大学里。

大学英语综合教程4Unit 1Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。
他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。
人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物,无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。
我们与大自然血肉相连,离开大自然,我们将无法生存。
Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。
人类把自然资源转变为各种文化,社会历史的财富。
人类降服并控制了电,迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。
人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境,也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。
Man is not only a dweller in nature, he also transforms it. Humanity converts nature's wealth into the means of the cultural, historical life of society. Man has subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society. Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals.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. Our distant ancestors lived in fear of nature's destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtain the merest daily necessities. However, despite their imperfect tools, they worked together stubbornly , collectively, and were able to attain results . Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased. Nature with its elemental forces was 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 done in the name of civilization , which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth was cultivated, where the forest had been cut down.然而,随着岁月的流逝,人类越来越关注的是在何处得到和如何得到生产所需的不可替代的自然资源的问题。
科学与人类改变大自然的实践活动已经使人类意识到了工业在改变地球的进程中对地质产生的重大影响。
But as time goes on mankind becomes increasingly concerned with the question of where and how to obtain irreplaceable natural resources for the needs of production. Science and man's practical transforming activities have made humanity aware of the enormous geological role played by the industrial transformation of the earth.目前,人与自然以及自然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡,已呈现崩溃的迹象。
生物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为尖锐。
人类和社会的需求,即便是简单得像淡水一样的物质,也变得越来越难以满足。
清除工业废物的问题也变得日益复杂。
At present the previous dynamic balance between man and nature and between nature and society as a whole, has shown ominous signs of breaking down. The problem of the so-called replaceable resources of the biosphere has become particularly acute . It is getting more and more difficult to satisfy the needs of human beings and society even for such a substance , for example, as fresh water. The problem of eliminating industrial waste is also becoming increasingly complex.现代技术的特征是生产和使用日益丰富的人工合成产品。
人们生产成千上万的人工合成材料。
人们越来越多地用尼龙和其他人造纤维把自己从头到脚地包裹起来,这些绚丽的织物显然对他们无益。
年轻人或许很少注意到这一点,他们更关注的是外表,而不是健康。
但是上了年岁之后,他们就会感受到这种有害的影响。
Modern technology is distinguished by an ever increasing abundance of produced and used synthetic goods. Hundreds of thousands of synthetic materials are being made. People increasingly cover their bodies from head to foot in nylon and other synthetic, glittering fabrics that are obviously not good for them. Young people may hardly feel this, and they pay more attention to appearance than to health. But they become more aware of this harmful influence as they grow older.久而久之,这些合成物质转变成废弃物,那些原本毒性不大的物质在自然循环中变为极其有害的物质。
自然科学家和哲学家如今都在问自己这样一个问题:人类对生物圈的破坏难道是无法避免的吗?As time goes on the synthetic output of production turns into waste, and then substances that in their original form were not very toxic are transformed in the cycle of natural processes into aggressive agents . Today both natural scientists and philosophers are asking themselves the question: Is man's destruction of the biosphere inevitable?人与大自然的关系——生态环境的危机——已经成为一个全球性问题。
