But naming with a Chinese characters plus an English letter, as the father of the graduate student did, is not a good idea. It is not very appropriate and normal.Normally, our names consist of three Chinese characters, which is quite different from the names in other countries. The first one is the family name. The second one is the generation name and the last one is the given name. This is the general rule for a Chinese name. In fact, nowadays, a lot of people omit the generation name. However, this is acceptable. The student had trouble in transferring her hukou because of her name. This trouble is caused by not following the rules of writing personal names.What’s more, our Chinese characters are unique without numbers that can not be the same with other languages. But the English letters are different from Chinese characters. If we use the letters, the pronunciation is a big problem, because those letters can also be found in other languages with differentpronunciations. There is no standard how they should be pronounced.Personal names are also a kind of traditional culture in China, which consist of the information of your family and the hopes of our parents. In order to protect our culture and respect the tradition, we should stick to our nation’s standard form of personal names.Section B: Note-WritingUnit 8一、词汇短语Text Arigorous [] adj. 严格的，严厉的；严酷的，严峻的【例句】He makes a rigorous study of the plant in the area. 他对该地的植物进行了慎密的研究。

现代大学英语精读4unit2翻译及课后答案
UNIT2历史学家们为什么意见不一大多数学生通常是通过一本厚厚的课本接触历史的，他们很快就被淹没在姓名、日期、时间和数据中。
然后学生的技能通过考试来检验，考试考的是他们记住了多少材料。
记得越多，分数就越高。
我们可以从中得出几条明显的结论：学习历史就是学习“史实”；作为历史专业的学生，知道的“史实”越多，你学得就越好。
专业的历史学家只不过是把大量的“事实”搜集在一起的人。
因此，当学生们发现历史学家们即使在研究同一事件时意见也有很大分歧的时候，他们常常感到困惑不解。
对于这种情况，学生们根据自己的常识作出的反应是，断定一位历史学家是正确的，而另一位是错误的。
而且，据此推测，错误的历史学家给出的“事实”是错误的。
然而，实际情况很少如此。
历史学家的论证通常很有道理，并且有说服力。
而且，“事实”——姓名、日期、事件和数据——常常是被证明是正确的。
此外，学生们还经常发现争论不休的历史学家对事实大致持相同意见；也就是说，他们使用大体相同的材料。
他们作出的结论不同，是因为他们看待过去的角度不同。
历史，本来已定就是记忆“史实”，现在变成了从众多解释中挑选一个令人满意的解释的事情。
历史的真相成为了个人偏好问题。
这种看法很难使人满意。
学生们肯定会想，对同一事件的两种完全不同的观点不可能同时是正确的；然而，他们没有能力在两者之间作出选择。
要了解历史学家们为什么意见不一致，学生们必须考虑一个他们或多或少认为是理所当然的问题。
他们必须问问自己，历史到底是什么。
从最广泛的意义上来说，历史指的是人类过去的总和。
比较狭义的概念是，历史是有记录的过去，即留下了某种记录的人类生活的一部分，比如民间故事、手工艺品或者有文字记载的文献。
最后，历史可以被定义为历史学家们书写的过去。
当然，这三种定义互相联系。
历史学家们的记述以过去人们的遗留物为根据；显然，他们不可能对所有的事情都了解，原因很简单，并不是每一件大小事件都被完整地记录下来了。
因此，历史学家充其量也只能接近历史。

But naming with a Chinese characters plus an English letter, as the father of the graduate student did, is not a good idea. It is not very appropriate and normal.Normally, our names consist of three Chinese characters, which is quite different from the names in other countries. The first one is the family name. The second one is the generation name and the last one is the given name. This is the general rule for a Chinese name. In fact, nowadays, a lot of people omit the generation name. However, this is acceptable. The student had trouble in transferring her hukou because of her name. This trouble is caused by not following the rules of writing personal names.What’s more, our Chinese characters are unique without numbers that can not be the same with other languages. But the English letters are different from Chinese characters. If we use the letters, the pronunciation is a big problem, because those letters can also be found in other languages with differentpronunciations. There is no standard how they should be pronounced.Personal names are also a kind of traditional culture in China, which consist of the information of your family and the hopes of our parents. In order to protect our culture and respect the tradition, we should stick to our nation’s standard form of personal names.Section B: Note-WritingUnit 8⼀、词汇短语Text Arigorous [] adj. 严格的，严厉的；严酷的，严峻的【例句】He makes a rigorous study of the plant in the area. 他对该地的植物进⾏了慎密的研究。
