Part3 TranslationUnit 1 Life and logic中庸思想（Doctrine of the Mean）是儒家思想的核心内容。
The Doctrine of the Mean is the core of Confucianism.孔子所谓的“中”不是指“折中”，而是指在认识和处理客观事物时的一种“适度”和“恰如其分”的方法。
The so-called "mean" by Confucius doesn't mean "compromise" but a "moderate" and "just-right" way when understanding and handling objective things.孔子主张不仅要把这种思想作为一种认识和处理事物的方法来看待，而且还应该通过自身修养和锻炼，把它融入自己的日常行为当中，使之成为一种美德。
Confucius advocated that this thought should not only be treated as a way to understand and deal with things but also be integrated into one's daily conduct to make it a virtue through self-cultivation and training.中庸思想是儒家思想的核心，也是中国传统文化的重要组成部分。
The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core of Confucianism but also an important component of traditional Chinese culture.从它形成到现在，一直为民族精神的构建、民族智慧的传播、民族文化的发展发挥着不可估量的作用。

大学英语综合教程3课文翻译第一课：生活中的困扰原文：Living With RegretRegrets. We all have them. They can range from minor inconsiderate acts to major life-changing decisions. But no matter the scale, regrets serve as a constant reminder of our past mistakes and missed opportunities.Regrets often stem from our desires to change the past. We wish we had made different choices or taken different paths. We dwell on what could have been, rather than accepting what is. This obsession with the past can hinder our ability to live in the present and enjoy the opportunities that await us.Living with regret can be a heavy burden to carry. It weighs us down emotionally and mentally. We constantly replay the past in our minds, seeking to find a different outcome and trying to understand how things could have been different. This constant rumination can lead to feelings of guilt, sadness, and even depression.Regret can also have a negative impact on our relationships. If we are constantly dwelling on past mistakes, it can prevent us from fully engaging with others in the present. We may be hesitant to form new relationships or trust others, fearing thatwe will make the same mistakes again. This fear and hesitancy can limit our social connections and prevent us from experiencing the joys of deep and meaningful relationships.So how do we break free from the grip of regret? It starts with acceptance. Accepting that we cannot change the past, no matter how much we wish we could. We must forgive ourselves for our mistakes and learn from them. It is through learning and growth that we can move forward and create a better future.In addition to acceptance, it is important to focus on the present moment. By practicing mindfulness and being fully present in our daily lives, we can let go of the past and embrace the opportunities that come our way. Life is constantly changing, and if we are too focused on what has already happened, we may miss out on the beauty of what is happening right now.Regrets are a natural part of life, but they do not have to consume us. By accepting the past, focusing on the present, and learning from our mistakes, we can live a life free from the burden of regret.翻译：带着遗憾生活遗憾，我们都有。

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。

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。

U n i t1T e x t A学在哈佛米歇尔•李1.我仍清晰地记得当初我被斯坦福大学提前录取时的场景。
当时我正在车上，收件箱突然弹出了一封电子邮件，告知我已经被梦寐以求的斯坦福大学录取了，我不禁喜极而泣。
接下来的几个月，我一直幻想着自己成为斯坦福“枢机红”一员的情景并等待着他们的正式录取通知书。
2.然而，接下来更多的录取通知书接踵而至，当得知自己还被哈佛大学录取后，我内心的激动之情无以言表。
我面临着一个极其艰难的抉择——斯坦福还是哈佛？3.我决定先实地考察一下这两所学校再做最后选择，没想到的是，我竟然喜欢上了哈佛。
我曾一心想成为斯坦福“枢机红”的一员，所以并没有认真考虑过选择其他大学。
然而我一踏入哈佛校园，便感觉一切正合乎我的心意。
哈佛的校园，哈佛的课堂，哈佛的人，都使我意识到这就是未来四年我唯一想呆的地方。
4.在哈佛入学后，我迫切地渴望开始人生的新篇章，但与此同时，又因身处遥远他乡而感到焦虑不安。
和亲朋好友告别的那一刻，我清醒地意识到即将来临的自主独立将意味着什么。
我不知道未来会怎样，而且担心自己会在这么知名的学府里找不到自己的定位。
5.一个学期后，我不得不说我做了人生中最正确的决定。
我找到了一种归属感，并且在很多方面成为了哈佛的一分子。
6.在短短数月里，如果说我学会了什么的话，那就是明白了大学学习一点都不轻松。
学业课程比以往的都难，但我可以自由选择学习任何我感兴趣的课程领域。
我申请的是医学预科，但一个学期下来，我发现在下一年确定专业之前，我实际上有无数的方向可以选择。
7.课程通常包括：教授主讲、研究生辅讲次要内容以及课外的学生学习小组。
学习小组合作学习对应对哈佛繁重的学习任务起着重要的作用。
如果感到不堪重负，我只需要走下楼去见见我的学监，或者和我的学业导师预约见个面。
8.刚刚过去的12月份是期末考试阶段，排满了各种冗长的综合考试。
但是哈佛读书周停课一周，与高中阶段相比的确是一个很不错的改变。

新编大学英语（第二版）第一册阅读文参考译文以生命相赠1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。
在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。
2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。
3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。
救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。
他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。
如果不立即采取行动，显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。
4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要相配血型的血。
快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。
5 这位医生会讲一点越南语，忽视会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。
孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。
医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。
接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。
6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。
此时小病人生命垂危。
然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。
过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。
7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。
“你叫什么名字？”8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。
9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。
在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。
10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。
11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。
12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。
医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。
13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。
他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴想竭力忍住哭泣。
14 现在医疗小组非常担忧，因为针不该使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。

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、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。
她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。
如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。
3、“光彩照人”，她已经是了。
而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。
4、在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。
我的想法有些怪异。
而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。
我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。
“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。
5、“逻辑学。
”6、“好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。
7、“逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。
逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。
我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。
”8、“好啊，”她表示同意。
9、“‘绝对判断’是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。
比方说：运动是有益的，所以每个人都应该运动。
”10、她点头表示赞同。
11、我看得出她没弄明白。
“波莉，”我解释说，“这个推断太过简单化了。
如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的，运动就变得有害而不是有益。
所以你应该说，运动对大多数人来说是有益的。
”12、“接下来是‘草率结论’。
这似乎不言自明，对吧？仔细听好了：你不会说法语，罗伯也不会说法语，那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。

unit 1 A 我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产，因为缺氧导致大脑受损。
两年后，我出生了。
从此以后，我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。
伴随我成长的，是“到外面去玩，把你哥哥也带上。
” 不带上他，我是哪里也去不了的。
因此，我怂恿邻居的孩子到我家来，尽情地玩孩子们玩的游戏。
我母亲教吉米学习日常自理，比如刷牙或系皮带什么的。
我父亲宅心仁厚，他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。
我则负责外面的事，找到那些欺负我哥哥的孩子们的父母，告他们的状，为我哥哥讨回公道。
父亲和吉米形影不离。
他们一道吃早饭，平时每天早上一道开车去海军航运中心，他们都在那里工作，吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。
晚饭后，他们一道交谈，玩游戏，直到深夜。
他们甚至用口哨吹相同的曲调。
所以，父亲 1991 年因心脏病去世时，吉米几乎崩溃了，尽管他尽量不表现出来。
他就是不能相信父亲去世这一事实。
通常，他是一个令人愉快的人，现在却一言不发，无论说多少话都不能透过他木然的脸部表情了解他的心事。
我雇了一个人和他住在一起，开车送他去上班。
然而，不管我怎么努力地维持原状，吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。
有一天，我问他：“你是不是想念爸爸？” 他的嘴唇颤抖了几下，然后问我：“你怎么看，玛格丽特？他是我最好的朋友。
” 接着，我俩都流下了眼泪。
六个月后，母亲因肺癌去世，剩下我一人来照顾吉米。
吉米不能马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着，因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。
我走到哪里他就跟到哪里，他好像适应得很好。
但吉米依然想住在我父母的房子里，继续干他原来的工作。
我答应把他送回去。
此事最后做成了。
如今，他在那里生活了 11 年，在许多人的照料下，同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。
他已成了邻里间不可或缺的人物。
如果你有邮件要收，或有狗要遛，他就是你所要的人。
当然，母亲的话没错：可以有一个家，既能容纳他的缺陷又能装下我的雄心。
事实上，关照像吉米这样一个深爱又感激我的人，更加丰富了我的生活，其他任何东西都不能与之相比。

全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: The World of WorkPart 1: The Changing Nature of WorkThe world of work is constantly evolving, and it is important for individuals to adapt to these changes. In today's fast-paced society, the traditional notions of work are being challenged, and new opportunities are emerging. This unit explores the changing nature of work and its implications for individuals and society.1.1 The Traditional 9-to-5 JobTraditionally, work was often characterized by a 9-to-5 job in a fixed location. Employees would commute to an office or a factory, and their work would be structured around set hours. This model provided stability and a sense of routine for many individuals. However, with advancements in technology and globalization, this traditional model is no longer the only option.1.2 Flexible Work ArrangementsToday, flexible work arrangements are becoming more common. People have the opportunity to work remotely, choose their own hours, and even become self-employed. This flexibility allows individuals to better balance their work and personal lives. However, it also presents new challenges, such as the need for self-discipline and the blurring of boundaries between work and leisure.1.3 The Gig EconomyThe rise of the gig economy is another significant change in the world of work. In this model, individuals take on short-term or freelance jobs, often facilitated by online platforms. This provides them with more autonomy and the ability to pursue multiple income streams. However, it also means less job security and benefits compared to traditional employment.1.4 The Importance of Lifelong LearningWith the changing nature of work, the importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated. Individuals need to continually update their skills and knowledge in order to remain competitive in the job market. This includes developing new technological competencies and adaptability to navigate future changes in the workplace.Part 2: The Impact of Work on Identity and Well-beingWork plays a significant role in shaping individual identity and overall well-being. How individuals perceive their work and the meaning they derive from it can greatly impact their satisfaction and happiness.2.1 Work as a Source of IdentityFor many people, work is not just a way to earn a living but also a source of identity and purpose. The type of work one engages in can be closely tied to personal values and ambitions. However, it is important to recognize that work should not be the sole determinant of a person's self-worth. Finding a balance between work and other aspects of life is crucial for overall well-being.2.2 Work-Life BalanceAchieving work-life balance is a constant challenge in today's connected world. The boundaries between work and personal life can easily blur, leading to increased stress and burnout. Employers and individuals need to actively promote strategies and policies that enable employees to have a healthy integration of work and personal life.2.3 The Pursuit of Meaningful WorkMany individuals strive to find work that is not only financially rewarding but also personally fulfilling. Meaningful work gives individuals a sense of purpose and satisfaction. This can be achieved by aligning personal values and passions with one's chosen career path.2.4 Work and Mental HealthThe relationship between work and mental health is complex. While work can provide a sense of structure and purpose, it can also contribute to stress and anxiety. Employers and society as a whole need to prioritize mental health support in the workplace and foster a culture that promotes work-life balance and overall well-being.ConclusionThe world of work is undergoing significant changes, requiring individuals to adapt and embrace new opportunities. The impact of work on identity and well-being cannot be underestimated. It is crucial for individuals, employers, and society to work together to create a more balanced and fulfilling work environment. By recognizing the evolving nature of work andaddressing its challenges, we can create a future where individuals find meaning and satisfaction in their careers.。

第一课救赎 ----兰斯顿.休斯在我快13岁那年，我的灵魂得到了拯救，然而并不是真正意义上的救赎。
事情是这样的。
那时我的阿姨里德所在的教堂正在举行一场盛大的宗教复兴晚会。
数个星期以来每个夜晚，人们在那里讲道，唱诵，祈祷。
连一些罪孽深重的人都获得了耶稣的救赎，教堂的成员一下子增多了。
就在复兴晚会结束之前，他们为孩子们举行了一次特殊的集会——把小羊羔带回羊圈。
里德阿姨数日之前就开始和我提这件事。
那天晚上，我和其他还没有得到主宽恕的小忏悔者们被送去坐在教堂前排,那是为祷告的人安排的座椅。
我的阿姨告诉我说：“当你看到耶稣的时候，你看见一道光，然后感觉心里似乎有什么发生。
从此以后耶稣就进入了你的生命，他将与你同在。
你能够看见、听到、感受到他和你的灵魂融为一体。
”我相信里德阿姨说的，许多老人都这么说，似乎她们都应该知道。
尽管教堂里面拥挤而闷热，我依然静静地坐在那里，等待耶稣的到来。
布道师祷告，富有节奏，非常精彩。
呻吟、喊叫、寂寞的呼喊，还有地狱中令人恐怖的画面。
然后他唱了一首赞美诗。
诗中描述了99只羊都安逸的待在圈里，唯有一个被冷落在外的情形。
唱完后他说道：“难道你不来吗？不来到耶稣身旁吗？小羊羔们，难道你们不来吗？”他向坐在祷告席上的小忏悔者们打开了双臂，小女孩们开始哭了，她们中有一些很快跳了起来，跑了过去。
我们大多数仍然坐在那里。
许多长辈过来跪在我们的身边开始祷告。
老妇人的脸像煤炭一样黑，头上扎着辫子，老爷爷的手因长年的工作而粗糙皲裂。
他们吟唱着“点燃微弱的灯，让可怜的灵魂得到救赎”的诗歌。
整个教堂里到处都是祈祷者的歌声。
最后其他所有小忏悔者们都去了圣坛上，得到了救赎，除了一个男孩和依然静静地坐着等侯的我。
那个男孩是一个守夜人的儿子，名字叫威斯特里。
在我们的周围尽是祈祷的修女执事。
教堂里异常闷热，天色也越来越暗了。
最后威斯特里小声对我说：“去他妈的上帝。
我再也坐不住了，我们站起来吧，就可以得到救赎了。
”于是他就站了起来，也因此得到了救赎。

大学英语读写教程1课文翻译Unit 1Lesson 1: The EarthThe Earth is our home. It is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. It is the only planet known to have life. The Earth is a beautiful and diverse place, with vast oceans, towering mountains, and lush forests.The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. It has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers and a circumference of around 40,075 kilometers. It is made up of several layers, including the crust, mantle, and core.The Earth rotates on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation. This rotation gives us day and night. The Earth also orbits around the sun, completing one orbit in about 365.25 days, giving us the concept of a year.The Earth is made up of many different ecosystems. These ecosystems support a wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms. It is important to protect and preserve these ecosystems to maintain the delicate balance of life on Earth.The Earth's climate is constantly changing. It experiences seasons due to the tilt of its axis. It also undergoes long-term changes, such as global warming, which is primarily caused by human activities. As inhabitants of this planet, we have a responsibility to take care of the Earth. We should reduce our carbon footprint, recycle,conserve water, and protect the natural environment. By doing so, we can ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.。

大学英语课本课文翻译大外unit1-unit7课文翻译1.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。
2.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。
3.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。
4.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。
5.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。
大学英语课文原文及翻译
大学英语课文原文及翻译大学英语课文原文一 Section A:Choose to Be Alone on PurposeHere we are, all by ourselves, all 22 million of us by recent count, alone in our rooms, some of us liking it that way and some of us not. Some of us divorced, some widowed, some never yet committed. Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it s more embarrassing for us to admit than any other sin. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero. The solitary hunter or explorer needs no one as they venture out among the deer and wolves to tame the great wild areas. Thoreau, alone in his cabin on the pond, his back deliberately turned to the town. Now, that s character for you.Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity for poets and philosophers. They re all for it. They all speak highly of themselves for seeking it out, at least for an hour or even two before they hurry home for tea.Consider Dorothy Wordsworth, for instance, helping her brother William put on his coat, finding his notebook and pencil for him, and waving as he sets forth into the early spring sunlight to look at flowers all by himself. “How graceful, how benign, is solitude,” he wrote.No doubt about it, solitude is improved by being voluntary.Look at Milton s daughters arranging his cushions and blankets before they silently creep away, so he can create poetry. Then,rather than trouble to put it in his own handwriting, he calls thegirls to come back and write it down while he dictates.You may have noticed that most of these artistic types went outdoors to be alone. The indoors was full of loved ones keeping the kettle warm till they came home.The American high priest of solitude was Thoreau. We admire him, not for his self-reliance, but because he was all by himself out there at Walden Pond, and he wanted to be. All alone in the woods. Actually, he lived a mile, or 20 minutes walk, from his nearest neighbor; half a mile from the railroad; three hundred yards from a busy road. He had company in and out of the hut all day, asking him how he could possibly be so noble. Apparently the main point of his nobility was that he had neither wife nor servants, used his own axe to chop his own wood, and washed his own cups and saucers. I don t know who did his laundry; he doesn t say, but he certainly doesn t mention doing his own, either. Listen to him: “I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”Thoreau had his own self-importance for company. Perhaps there s a message here. The larger the ego, the less the need for other egos around. The more modest and humble we feel, the more we suffer from solitude, feeling ourselves inadequate company.If you live with other people, their temporary absence can be refreshing. Solitude will end on Thursday. If today I use a singular personal pronoun to refer to myself, next week I will use the plural form. While the others are absent you can stretch out your soul until it fills up the whole room, and use your freedom, coming and going as you please without apology, staying up late to read, soaking in the bath, eating a whole pint of ice cream at one sitting, moving at your own pace. Those absent will be back. Their waterproof winter coatsare in the closet and the dog keeps watching for them at the window. But when you live alone, the temporary absence of your friends and acquaintances leaves a vacuum; they may never come back.The condition of loneliness rises and falls, but the need to talk goes on forever. It s more basic than needing to listen. Oh, we all have friends we can tell important things to, people we can call to say we lost our job or fell on a slippery floor and broke our arm. It s the daily succession of small complaints and observations and opinions that backs up and chokes us. We can t really call a friend to say we got a parcel from our sister, or it s getting dark earlier now, or we don t trust that new Supreme Court justice.Scientific surveys show that we who live alone talk at length to ourselves and our pets and the television. We ask the cat whether we should wear the blue suit or the yellow dress. We ask the parrot if we should prepare steak, or noodles for dinner. We argue with ourselves over who is the greater sportsman: that figure skater or this skier. There s nothing wrong with this. It s good for us, and a lot less embarrassing than the woman in front of us in line at the market who s telling the cashier that her niece Melissa may be coming to visit on Saturday, and Melissa is very fond of hot chocolate, which is why she bought the powdered hot chocolate mix, though she never drinks it herself.It s important to stay rational.It s important to stop waiting and settle down and make ourselves comfortable, at least temporarily, and find some grace and pleasure in our condition, not like a self-centered British poet but like a patient princess sealed up in a tower, waiting for the happy ending to our fairy tale.After all, here we are. It may not be where we expected to be, but for the time being we might as well call it home. Anyway, there is no place like home.大学英语课文原文二 Section A：Does Mickey Mouse have a beardNo.Does this mean that French men seeking work with the Disney organization must shave off their moustaches tooIt depends.A labor inspector took the Disney organization to court this week, contending that the company s dress and appearance code — which bans moustaches, beards, excess weight, short skirts and fancy stockings — offends individual liberty and violates French labor law.The case is an illustration of some of the delicate cultural issues the company faces as it gets ready to open its theme park 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Paris in five months time.The Disney management, which is assembling what it calls a cast of 12,000 to run the theme park, argues that all employees, from bottle washers to the president, are similar to actors who have to obey rules about appearance. Anyway, a company spokesman says, no one has yet put his moustache before a job. As one new cast member put it: You must believe in what you are doing, or you would have a terrible time here.But what do people think of Euro Disney People everywhere are wondering whether Europeans would like the American recreation.For all its concern about foreign cultural invasion and its defense against the pollution of the French language by English words, France s Socialist government has been untroubled aboutputting such a huge American symbol on the doorstep of the capital and has been more concerned about its social effect. It made an extraordinary series of tax and financial concessions to attract the theme park here rather than let it go to sunny Spain.The theme park itself will be only part of a giant complex of housing, office, and resort developments stretching far into the next century, including movie and television production facilities. As part of its deal with the Disney organization, the government is laying on and paying for new highways, an extension of Paris s regional express railway and even a direct connection for the high speed TGV railway to the Channel Tunnel. The TGV station is being built in front of the main entrance of Euro Disneyland, and is scheduled to come into service in 1994.If Euro Disneyland succeeds — where theme parks already in France have so far failed — a second and even a third park is likely to be built by the end of the century. Financial experts say that Euro Disneyland, the first phase of which is costing an estimated $3.6 billion, is essential to Disney s overall fortunes, which have been hit by competition and declining attendance in the United States.French intellectuals have not found many kind things to say about the project. The kids, however, will probably never notice. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio all come from European fairy tales or stories and are as familiar to children here as they are in the United States. To a French child Mickey is French. To an Italian kid he is Italian.The Disney management is stressing this tradition in an apparent response to suggestions that it is culturally insensitive. Although the concept of the theme park is closely based on the original MagicKingdom in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, Euro Disneyland will be unique in a manner appropriate to its European home, the company says. The legends and fairy tales which come from Europe figure prominently in the creative development of the theme park. Officials point out, for example, that Sleeping Beauty s castle, the central feature of the theme park, is based not on Hollywood, as some might think, but on the illustrations in a medieval European book. Also, a 360-degree movie, based on the adventures of Jules Verne, features well-known European actors.Asked to describe other aspects of the effort to make the park more European, a spokesman mentioned that direction signs in the theme park will be in French as well as English, and that some performers will chat in French, Spanish and English. The challenge is telling things people already know — and at the same time making it different, the spokesman said.On the other hand, this effort is not being taken too far. Another Disney spokesman said earlier that the aim of the theme park is to provide a basically American experience for those who seek it. Inthis way, he said, people who might otherwise have contemplated a vacation in the United States will be happy to stay on this side of the Atlantic.The Disney organization does seem to focus a bit too much on hair. Main Street, USA , the heart of Euro Disneyland, it promises, will feature an old time Harmony Barber Shop to deal with messy hair and hairy chins — and perhaps even offending mustaches. One difference from California or Florida: Parts of Main Street and waiting areas to get into the attractions will be covered over as a concession to Paris s rainy weather.Euro Disneyland s short distance to Paris is a definite attraction. Anyone tiring of American or fake European culture can reach the Louvre art museum by express railway in less than an hour — from Minnie Mouse to Mona Lisa in a flash.Communications figured largely in the Disney organization s decision to site its fourth theme park near Paris. The site is within a two-hour flight of 320 million Europeans. The opening of Eastern Europe is another prize for the company, which thinks that millions of people will put Disneyland at the top of a list of places to visit on their first trip to Western Europe.PREVIOUS HOME NEXT大学英语课文原文三 Section A：Slavery Gave Me Nothing to LoseI remember the very day that I became black. Up to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. It is exclusively a black town. The only white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming from Orlando, Florida. The native whites rode dusty horses, and the northern tourists traveled down the sandy village road in automobiles. The town knew the Southerners and never stopped chewing sugar cane when they passed. But the Northerners were something else again. They were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the timid. The bold would come outside to watch them go past and got just as much pleasure out of the tourists as thetourists got out of the village.The front deck might seem a frightening place for the rest of the town, but it was a front row seat for me. My favorite place was on top of the gatepost. Not only did I enjoy the show, but I didn t mind the actors knowing that I liked it. I usually spoke to them inpassing. I d wave at them and when they returned my wave, I would say a few words of greeting. Usually the automobile or the horse paused at this, and after a strange exchange of greetings, I would probably go a piece of the way with them, as we say in farthest Florida, and follow them down the road a bit. If one of my family happened to come to the front of the house in time to see me, of course the conversation would be rudely broken off.During this period, white people differed from black to me only in that they rode through town and never lived there. They liked to hear me speak pieces and sing and wanted to see me dance, and gave me generously of their small silver for doing these things, which seemed strange to me for I wanted to do them so much that I needed bribing to stop. Only they didn t know it. The colored people gave no coins. They disapproved of any joyful tendencies in me, but I was their Zora nevertheless. I belonged to them, to the nearby hotels, to the country — everybody s Zora.But changes came to the family when I was thirteen, and I was sent to school in Jacksonville. I left Eatonville as Zora. When I got off the riverboat at Jacksonville, she was no more. It seemed that I had suffered a huge change. I was not Zora of Eatonville any more; I was now a little black girl. I found it out in certain ways. In my heart as well as in the mirror, I became a permanent brown — like the best shoe polish, guaranteed not to rub nor run.Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves. It fails to register depression with me. Slavery is something sixty years in the past. The operation was successful and the patient is doing well, thank you. The terrible war that made me an American instead of a slave said On the line! Theperiod following the Civil War said Get set! and the generation before me said Go! Like a foot race, I am off to a flying start and I must not halt in the middle to look behind and weep. Slavery is the price I paid for civilization, and the choice was not with me. No one on earth ever had a greater chance for glory. The world to be won and nothing to be lost. It is thrilling to think, to know, that for any act of mine, I shall get twice as much praise or twice as much blame. It is quite exciting to hold the center of the national stage, with the audience not knowing whether to laugh or to weep.I do not always feel colored. Even now I often achieve the unconscious Zora of that small village, Eatonville. For instance, I can sit in a restaurant with a white person. We enter chatting about any little things that we have in common and the white man would sit calmly in his seat, listening to me with interest.At certain times I have no race, I am me. But in the main, I feel like a brown bag of mixed items propped up against a wall. Against a wall in company with other bags, white, red and yellow. Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a pile of small things both valuable and worthless. Bits of broken glass, lengths of string, a key to a door long since decayed away, a rusty knife-blade, old shoes saved for a road that never was and never will be, a nail bent under the weight of things too heavy for any nail, a dried flower or two still with a little smell. In your hand is the brown bag. On the ground before you is the pile it held — so much like the piles in the other bags, could they be emptied, that all might be combined and mixed in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly. A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter. Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them inthe first place — who knows。

Unit1 A篇学无止境故事发生在一所东部大学里。
那是终考的最后一天。
一幢教学楼的台阶上围着一群大四的工科生，都在谈论即刻就要开始的考试。
他们脸上都带着自信。
这是毕业前的最后一场考试了，考完后，即是毕业典礼。
然后他们将各奔前程。
话题转到了工作上，有的谈起了找好的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。
4年的大学学习给了他们自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。
眼前这场考试，不过是一碟小菜罢了。
老师已经说过可以携带所需的任何书本或笔记，只要不在考试时交头接耳就行了。
学生们兴高采烈地步入教室。
试卷发下来了。
看到只有5道论述题，他们一个个脸笑上开了花。
3小时过去后，老师开始收卷。
学生们先前的那份自信再也看不到了，而是满脸惊慌。
老师握着试卷，面对全班，大家都沉默不语。
她扫了一眼眼前这一张张不安的脸，问道："5道题全答完的有多少？" 没人举手。
"做完4道的有多少？" 还是没人举手。
"3道呢？两道呢？" 学生们再也坐不住了。
"那么一道呢？总有做完一道的吧。
" 教室里依然鸦雀无声。
老师搁下试卷，说道："这我早料到了。
""我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经完成了4年工科学习，这个领域你们还有很多东西要学。
其实，你们答不出的这些问题在日常生活中很常见。
"她笑了笑，接着说，"这门课你们都能通过，但要记住，你们虽然已经大学毕业，但学习才刚刚开始。
"多年后，我已忘了这位老师的姓名，但牢牢记住了她的教诲。
B篇回眸大学4年的时光已经过去，这一刻终于来临了。
不到两周，我就要毕业了。
此刻回想起来，我仍不敢相信时光飞逝如斯。
我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。
现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。
每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。

Book 1 Unit 1 Writing for Myself为自己而写Russell BakerThe idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.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，这一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。
When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly againstthe collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly, that he seemed a comic antique.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。
大学英语1-4册英语课文翻译
大学英语1-4册英语课文翻译Unit 1 A学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。
虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。
我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。
两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。
到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。
然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！” 没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
好在这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。
由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。
这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。
我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。
但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。
突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。
尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。

Unit1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。
她看起来惊人地聪明。
听完讲座后我们一起闲聊。
她告诉我在空档年( 高中毕业后等着上大学的一年) 里，她已经把这学期书单上的书都读完了。
她给我留下了深刻的印象，我觉得自己太无知了，甚至不配跟她呼吸同样的空气。
妈妈来电话问我睡得好不好。
星期四今天是新生集会（社团招新活动）。
我和苏菲跑去看看我们能加入几个俱乐部。
我们俩都认为我们应该结交很多朋友，所以我报名参加了交谊舞俱乐部、人工智能协会、手铃俱乐部和极限运动俱乐部。
苏菲则报名参加了业余剧社和莫扎特合唱团。
我不知道我和苏菲还能不能继续做好朋友。
妈妈来电话。
她告诉我哥哥曾试图把我在家住的那间卧室租出去。
妈妈向我保证只要我需要，那房间永远是我的。
她还说那是我的家，他们都非常想我，尤其是我的狗。
我一下子就哭了起来。
星期五早上我去了图书馆。
可是好像我需要一个能验明我身份的证件才能进图书馆。
不知为什么，我必须发誓不损坏书籍、不违反图书馆的规定，否则我就要被当作罪犯被送进监狱。
（什么！？就因为说话声音太大？）图书馆看起来很古老，学校以此为豪。
今晚有个迪斯科舞会，可我已经没有干净衣服穿了。
我只知道把脏衣服扔进衣篮中，但并不清楚衣服是如何洗净，熨平并叠好放进衣柜里的。
也许妈妈快来电话了。
《回忆录》（节选）由于我不是高中毕业生而且有一份全职工作，他们只允许我选修两门课程：“文学概论”和“美国教育史”。
我不知道为什么我非得了解文学。
可是招生办公室的那位女士说，虽然我读过陀思妥也夫斯基和梅尔维尔的小说，虽然一个没上过高中的人能读这些书的确令人敬佩，但这门课是必修课。
她说由于我接受的欧洲教育不全面，“美国教育史”能使我具备广博的文化背景知识。
我乐得飘飘然了，第一件事就是去买所需要的课本，然后用纽约大学紫白相间的护封把它们套起来，这样地铁里的乘客就会向我投来艳羡的目光了。
我对大学课堂的了解全部都来自很久以前我在利默里克看的那些电影，我现在就坐在大学课堂里听一门课——美国教育史。
玛克辛• 格林教授在讲台上给我们讲移居美国的英国清教徒是如何教育他们的下一代的。
我周围的同学全都在不停地记笔记。
我真希望自己知道该记点儿什么。
我怎么知道她在讲台上说的话哪些是重要的呢？她说的每一句话我都要记住吗？有些同学举手问问题，可我永远不能那么做，因为全班同学都会盯着我，不知道那个说话带口音的家伙究竟是谁。
我可以尝试用美国口音说话，可是我却说得并不地道。
我试着用美音说话时，人们总是微笑着说：我是不是听到爱尔兰土腔了？教授说清教徒离开英国是为了逃避宗教迫害，这让我大惑不解，因为清教徒本身就是英国人，而英国人总是到处迫害别人，尤其是爱尔兰人。
我真想举手告诉教授爱尔兰人几百年来在英国的统治下所遭受的痛苦，但我知道班上的每个人都有高中文凭，只要我一开口，他们就会知道我和他们不一样。
其他同学都从容自信地举手发言。
他们总是说：嗯，我认为……。
总有一天我也会举手发言，说：嗯，我认为……。
可对清教徒及他们的教育问题，我还真不知道该如何认为。
接着，教授告诉我们，观念并不是从天而降的现成品。
从长远看，清教徒是宗教改革运动的产物，他们继承了宗教改革运动的世界观，他们对孩子的态度体现了宗教改革运动的思想。
教室里记笔记的沙沙声更响了，女生比男生更忙活。
女生们不停地记，就好像从格林教授嘴里说出的每个字都很重要似的。
接下来我开始琢磨，为什么我要买这本厚厚的《美国教育史》呢？为什么我要带着它坐地铁，好让大家都羡慕我是个大学生呢？我知道会有考试，有期中考试，有期末考试，可是考试问题会从哪里出呢？如果教授不停地讲啊讲，而课本又有700 页之多的话，到时候我肯定会不知所措的。
班上的女生漂亮迷人，我想问问其中的一个是否知道应付七周后期中考试我该掌握什么内容。
我愿意和她一起去学校的自助餐厅或是格林尼治村的咖啡馆，一块儿谈谈清教徒和他们极端拘谨的生活方式，谈谈他们是怎么把孩子吓破胆的。
我可以告诉那个女生我是如何读陀思妥也夫斯基和梅尔维尔的小说的。
说不定她会被我打动，继而爱上我，然后我们一起研读美国教育史。
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！Unit2第一只牡蛎“来，尝尝这个，这个好吃，”我父亲一边说一边在我的鼻子前晃动着一只牡蛎。
我皱起眉头，说：“我不吃，我不喜欢吃这个。
”“胡说，你没尝过怎么知道不喜欢吃。
” 他跟我论理，“把它放进嘴里，品尝一下大西洋的味道。
”我觉得他说得对，可是有时候有些东西你只要看一眼就知道喜不喜欢。
坦率地说，我觉得牡蛎看起来挺恶心的。
这座饭店坐落在法国一个著名的海滨旅游胜地。
这时侍者不仅端上了一瓶放在冰篮子里的白葡萄酒，还端上一客份量极大的海鲜——螃蟹、对虾、大龙虾及各种贝类，都堆在一起。
我母亲正忙着购物，于是我父亲就决定带我——他十岁的儿子——去吃午饭。
他要让我体验生命里一个重要的事件，一件对我父亲来说与成年一样重要的事：我的第一只牡蛎。
世界上第一个吃牡蛎的男人到底是怎么想的呢？我说“男人”是因为女人肯定不会这么傻吧？“唷，我有点饿了，我们来瞧瞧这个石坑……嗯，我觉得它看起来挺好吃的！”好像不太可能。
父亲的话听起来更像是男生式的挑战。
“来，你尝尝这只牡蛎，我来尝尝这块油滋滋的咸肉三明治，让我们看看谁玩得更开心！”外面，天空灰蒙蒙的，海面上刮来一阵强风。
天气看起来和我的心情一样阴郁。
没有希望，只感觉饿，只担心失去纯真，因为我意识到这第一只牡蛎我今天得非吃不可了。
“我能吃炸鱼和薯条吗？”我满怀希望地问。
我突然觉得想家，想吃我最爱吃的饭菜。
“当然不行！他们这儿没有炸鱼和薯条，只有这地方最上等的海鲜，在这方圆几英里之内你找不到更好的海鲜了。
”他边回答边给自己又倒了一杯酒。
“好啦，别抱怨了，就给我尝一只牡蛎，然后你就可以吃些好吃的、顺口的东西，比如对虾加黄油面包，” 他提议说。
吃了这么长时间的饭，他的话里第一次有了妥协的意思。
但是，尽管清晰地感觉到了他的妥协——只有一个十岁的男孩才有这样的感觉，我仍然明白这妥协包含着吃掉那只牡蛎，那只放在我父亲的盘子边上的牡蛎。
我父亲继续吃着那一堆海鲜。
他盘子放着一大堆被丢弃的龙虾爪，盘子边上放着一套工具，用来敲开蟹壳，剔出哪怕一丁点儿的蟹肉。
他每吃一口就停一下，举杯喝一口酒。
他时不时地在我眼前晃动着那只牡蛎，逗弄我吃了它，但却什么也没说。
我只是绝望地看着我的空盘子。
我想着我最爱吃的东西——我母亲做的点心，一滴泪静静地顺着面颊淌了下来。
终于，我父亲又拿起那只牡蛎，我知道这下全完了。
我用拇指和另一只手指把牡蛎拈起来送到嘴边。
父亲说：“把它吸进嘴里，先含着，尝尝盐和海水的味道，然后再咽下去。
吃完了，我给你点你爱吃的东西。
” 他的语气更亲切了些，因为他知道他赢了。
我按照他说的吃掉了那只牡蛎。
牡蛎滑溜溜的，那味道是我从未尝过的，打那以后也没再尝过。
我父亲看着我，似笑非笑，好像在说：“怎么样？”我咽下去的时候，他举杯对我说：“干杯！”我终于赢得了他的爱和尊重。
但从那以后，我再也没吃过牡蛎。
巧克力巧克力是世界上最受欢迎的食品之一。
它最早于16世纪从中美洲引进到欧洲。
巧克力是用可可豆做成的。
可可豆又称为Theobroma Cacao, 意思是“天神之粮”。
阿兹特克人常常把可可豆捣成酱，再加入调味香料，做成提神醒脑的滋补饮料（也称为可可饮料）。
巧克力也用于宗教仪式。
由于它极其珍贵，甚至可以用来纳税。
