In my parents? words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better. (194 words)3Unit 2Part I Pre-Reading Task Script for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin John, sung by Dion. Abraham, Martin John DionHas anybody here,Seen my old friend Abraham, Can you tell me, where he's gone, He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young, I just loohed around, And he's gone, Has anybody here,Seen my old friend John,Can you tell me, where he's gone, He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young, I just loohed around, And he' s gone, Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Martin,Can you tell me, where he's gone, He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young, I just looked around, And he's gone,Didn't you love the things they stood for,Didn't they try to find some good for you and me, And we'll he free,Someday soon it's gonna be one day, Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Bothy,Can you tell me, where he's gone,I thought I saw him walhin' up over the hill, With Ahrah am, Martin and John.The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, \people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: \young.\young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi?nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.4Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi?nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.Part II Text A Text Organization 1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un?derground Railroad to freedom.2.

新世纪综合教程4大学英语课文翻译和课后习题的答案

大学英语课文翻译1 Man in the realm of nature人在自然界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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

No wonder it is said that honesty is more precious than gold. It is a tie for people to maintain relationships of mutual trust, the cornerstone for the development and progress of human society.Honesty is the exterior expression of a citizen’s moral character, the crystallization of a variety of spiritual elements such as ethics, morality, ideology, culture, etc. To be honest and to keep one’s word, one must have a noble moral character. To perfect one’s morality and behavior, one must be honest and dependable, and always keep one’s promise. Only when honesty is cherished as every citizen’s basic moral principle can the harmony of families and the prosperity of the country be guaranteed.Sample EssayMy Understanding of Honesty and SuccessDifferent people have different opinions about the relationship between honesty and success. Some people believe that honesty ad success are mutually exclusive. They regard honesty as a wasteful and costly investment that will only hinder success and prevent people from quick wins. Money-making tricks such as low-quality and fake products, or practices like plagiarism and bribery are seen as short-cuts to immediate success.However, many people hold that honesty and success are mutually supportive. They believe that honesty is the only means to an end. Being honest will definitely earn a person not only a good reputation but also more opportunities to develop his or her career and ability. Honesty also helps cultivate an upright and healthy personality and brings people true pride and deep joy.I agree with the latter viewpoint. Honesty is a virtue that every one of us should value. It can bring out the best in a person and will give him or her the best reward in return. Those who are honest may suffer temporary losses sometimes, but they willbenefit in the long run. In short, only by being honest consistently and persistently can we gain true and lasting happiness. (193 words)。

Life is unpredictable. It often plays tricks on us and surprises us with unexpected endings. In this story, Mrs. Mallard reacted with sadness at the news of her husband's death in a train accident, and then locked herself up in her room, where she seemed to be waiting fearfully for something that she felt was coming to her. What was it?The Story of an HourKate Chopin(1)1)Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care wastaken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.2)It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints thatrevealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed".He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to prevent any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.3)She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with aparalyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.4)There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into thisshe sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.5)She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were allfull of the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song reached her faintly, and countless birds were singing.6)There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds thathad met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.7)She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quitemotionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.8)She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines betrayed repression and evena certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze wasfixed on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.(2)9)There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. Whatwas it? She did not know; it was too subtle and vague to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.10)Now her bosom rose and fell impulsively. She was beginning to recognize thisthing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will – as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been. 11)When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly partedlips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the running blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.12)She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. Aclear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss her husband's death as trivial.13)She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender handsfolded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.14)There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live forherself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.15)And yet she had loved him – sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter!What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!16)"Free! Body and soul free!" she kept whispering.17)Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole,begging for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg, open the door – you will make yourself ill. What are you doing Louise? For heaven's sake open the door."(3)18)"Go away. I am not making myself ill." No; she was drinking in a very elixir of lifethrough that open window.19)Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, andsummer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.20)She arose at length and opened the door. There was a feverish triumph in hereyes, and she carried herself like a goddess of Victory. She clasped her sister's waist, and together they descended the stairs. Richards stood waiting for them at the bottom.21)Someone was opening the front door with a key. It was Brently Mallard whoentered, a little travel-stained, carrying his briefcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one.He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.22)But Richards was too late.23)When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease – of joy that kills.。

大学英语综合教程第三册（第四单元）课文翻译

第四单元外星人课文A这仅仅是一个错误，一个愚蠢的错误，那种人人都可能犯的错误。

只是从今往后再也不会有太空客前来访问地球了。

再也不会了。

水乡伊萨克·阿西莫夫我们不会再有太空游客前来了。

外星人将永远不会登陆地球——至少是再也不会了。

我这不是悲观。

事实上，外星人登陆过地球。

这个我知道。

在宇宙的千百万颗星球当中穿梭往来的太空飞船可能有许多，可它们永远不会再来我们这儿了。

这我也知道。

而这一切都是由于一个荒唐的错误导致的。

且听我解释。

这实际上是巴特·卡默伦的错，所以你得对巴特·卡默伦这人有所了解。

他是爱达荷州特温加尔奇的治安官，我是他的副手。

巴特·卡默伦是个脾气暴躁的人，到了他不得不整理个人应缴多少所得税时更是容易光火。

你想，他除了当治安官，还经营着一家杂货铺，并拥有一家牧羊场的股份，同时还享有残疾退伍军人(膝盖受过伤)津贴，以及其他某些类似的津贴。

这样一来他的个人所得税计算起来自然就变得复杂。

要是他让税务人员帮他填表就不至于那么糟糕，可他非得要自己填，于是填得他牢骚满满腹。

每年到了4月14日，他就变得难以接近。

那个飞碟在1956年4月14日这一天登陆真是大错特错。

我是看着它降落的。

当时我的椅子背靠着治安官办公室的墙，我正望着窗外的星星，琢磨着是不是该下班去睡觉，还是继续听卡默伦骂个不停，他正在第127次核对他在税单上填写的一栏栏数字。

一开始像是颗流星，可接着那道光越变越宽，成了两股像是火箭喷出气流之类的东西，而那玩艺儿一点没出声就着落了。

两个人走了出来。

我说不出话，也做不了事。

喘不了气，也没法用手示意，甚至眼睛都没法瞪大。

我就那么呆坐着。

卡默伦?他压根儿就没抬起过头。

有敲门声。

门开了，飞碟上的那两个人走了进来。

要不是我看着飞碟降落，我还会以为他们就是镇上的人。

两人身着灰套装、白衬衣，戴着深红棕色的领带。

他们穿着黑皮鞋，戴着黑帽子，肤色黑黑的，卷曲的头发黑黑的，眼睛呈棕色。

8A1|一小时的故事| 凯特·肖邦（1）因为知道马拉德太太患有心脏病，所以在告诉她丈夫死亡的消息时特别小心，尽量委婉。

2把这个坏消息透露给她的是她姐姐约瑟芬。

她说话时断断续续，只能半遮半掩地给她一些暗示。

她丈夫的朋友理查兹也在场，就在她身边。

铁道事故的消息传来时，理查兹正好在报社办公室，布伦特利·马拉德的名字排在“死亡”名单的首位。

第二封电报让他相信确有此事，于是他便立刻动身，赶在那些粗心大意、考虑不周的朋友之前把这个不幸的消息带了回来。

3许多女人听到这样的噩耗都会神情恍惚，麻木地接受现实。

马拉德太太却不然。

她猛地一下扑倒在姐姐怀里，号啕大哭起来。

这阵暴风雨般的悲痛过去之后，她独自一人回到了自己的房间，不让任何人跟着她。

4房间里放着一把舒适、宽大的扶手椅，对着敞开的窗户。

她一屁股坐在扶手椅上，身体的疲惫使她心力交瘁，这种疲惫似乎也侵入了她的灵魂。

5透过窗户，她看到了房前空旷广场上的树枝充满着新春的活力，空气中弥漫着清新的雨的气息。

楼下的街上有一个小贩正在叫卖。

远处的歌声隐隐约约地飘过来，数不清的鸟儿也叫个不停。

6从窗口望出去，西边的天空上层层叠叠的云团之间露出一片片蔚蓝。

7她坐在椅子里，头靠在椅垫上，非常平静。

只是偶尔抽泣一下，全身颤抖，好像一个哭着入睡的孩子在梦里仍在抽泣一样。

8她很年轻，面容白皙而安详。

但她脸上的线条却显示着一种压抑，甚至是一种力量。

但此时，她目光茫然，呆呆地望着远处的一片蓝天。

这并不是匆匆沉思的一瞥，而是她许久没有深思熟虑的体现。

9（2）有一种感觉正在向她靠近，那正是她充满恐惧等待着的感觉。

是什么感觉呢？她不知道，因为这种感觉太微妙，太难以捉摸，她说不清楚。

但她能感受得到，它正在空中蔓延，穿过弥漫于空中的声音、气味和色彩慢慢向她靠近。

10此时，她内心骚动不安，胸脯上下起伏。

她开始意识到了向她步步逼近并将渐渐征服她的感觉是什么。

她想尽力用自己的意志把这种感觉压下去——可是她的意志就像她那双白嫩纤细的手一样软弱无力。
