现代大学英语精读1 UNIT6 The Green Banana 课文翻译
第六单元Translation of Text A青香蕉1尽管这种事情在任何地方都可能发生，但我与青香蕉的邂逅却源自于巴西腹地一条险峻的山路上。
我那老式吉普车正吃力地穿过景色优美的乡村，这时，水箱突然漏水了，而离我最近的汽车修理站也还要十英里。
发动机过热迫使我在临近的村庄停了下来。
村里有一个小商店和分布在四处的几座房子。
有村民围过来看，三股细细的热水柱从水箱外壳上的小孔喷出来。
“这容易解决，”一个人说到。
他让一个小男孩跑去拿些青香蕉来。
这个人还拍了拍我的肩膀，安慰我问题会解决的。
“青香蕉。
”他笑了，其余的人都这么说着。
2我和他们闲聊起来，心里却一直在想他们用这青香蕉怎么能修补好水箱。
毫无疑问，提问会暴露我的无知，因此我开始赞叹眼前美丽的乡村景色。
耸立在我们周围巨大的岩石群，很像里约热内卢著名的糖面包山。
“看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗？”那人指着一块特别高而且细长的黑色石柱问我，“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。
”3我看着他，想知道他是否在和我开玩笑，但他却表情严肃，反过来认真地审视着我，似乎想确定我是否领会了他那句话的深刻含义。
这种情况要求我必须表现出认同。
他点头说：“绝对是中心。
这儿的人都知道。
”4这时，小男孩抱着青香蕉回来了。
那个男子把其中一根掰成两半，将其断口处按在水箱的外壳上。
香蕉遇到炙热的金属融成了胶，立刻就堵住了漏洞。
面对如此情景，我惊呆了，我当时的表情一定是傻傻的，所有的人都笑了起来。
他们把我的水箱装满水，又让我带上一些香蕉，以防沿途中水箱再出问题。
路上，我又用了一次青香蕉，一个小时后，我开着车到达了目的地。
当地的一修理工笑着问我：“谁教你用青香蕉的？”我告诉了他那个村子的名字。
“他们有没有指给你看标志世界中心的那块岩石?”他问道。
我告诉他，他们指给我看了。
“我祖父就是那儿的人，”他说，“那的确是中心。
一直以来这儿的人都知道。
”5作为美国教育的产物，除了把青香蕉当作还没长熟的水果，我从来就没注意过它。

E.g. Our plan turned out not quite successful as expected. (结果,我们的计划没有像期望的那么成功.) His statement turned out to be false. (最后证实他的话是错的。) It turned out that he was Jim’s father. (结果,他就是吉姆的父亲.)
Background Knowledge
美国的教育体系：
美国文化教育的高水平也决定了美国在世界科技方面的领先地位。在美国人看来，每个人都应该有机会接受最好的教育，以发展个人的天赋与能力。从19世纪早期开始，这种义务教育的理想便不断得到群众的支持。许多政教界的领导人物指出，美国的繁荣与强大，事实上是得力于教育之普及。
hold up: (often used in passive voice) delay, get in one’s way 延迟, 耽搁, 阻碍
We are held up for 5 minutes in a traffic jam. (我被一场交通阻塞耽误了5分钟。) The steel strike may hold up the production of cars for several months. (钢铁工人罢工，可能会使汽车生产停滞好几个月。)

中、小学教育主要是由各州教育委员会和地方政府管理，多数州实行十年义务教育。各州学制不一，大部分为小学六年、初中三年、高中三年。美国的学校有公立和私立两种，公立学校由政府税收支持，学生免费入学；私立学校多由教会支持，也包括那些合乎相当学院基础的私立学校。在初中阶段，约有10%的人就读于私立或教会学校。在高中阶段，同样约有10%的人就读于私立或教会学校读书。约有20%的大学生是读私立学校或教会学校。

人教版六年级语文上册精读课文知识梳理及重点句复习要点一、重点课文可能涉及到的考点1、作者2、文章标题及含义3、文中重点问题4、包蕴的哲理（中心思想）5、写作方法（包括文体）6、评判要紧人物7、文章情节二、六年级上册课文重点内容（一）第一单元重点课文：《山中访友》 1、李汉荣 2、标题含义：山中访友运用拟人手法；访，拜望；友：指山中的一切自然界的朋友。
3、重点问题：（1）说说作者在山中都拜望了哪些“朋友”，想一想课文什么缘故以“山中访友”为题。
答：作者拜望的“朋友有老桥、鸟儿、露珠、树、山泉、溪流、瀑布、悬崖、白云、云雀、落花、落叶等一切自然界的朋友。
作者以“山中访友”为题目是运用拟人的手法，将自然界的一切都称之为朋友，如此写更能激发读者的阅读爱好。
（2）读读下面的句子，体会如此写的好处。
①啊，老桥，你如一位德高望重的老人，在这涧水上站了几百年了吧?答：作者把“老桥”比喻为“一位德高望重的老人”，“站”是拟人的用法，不但写出了桥的古老，而且也突出了它默默无闻为大众服务的品质，充分表达了作者对桥的颂扬和佩服。
②走进这片树林，鸟儿呼吁我的名字，露珠与我交换眼神。
答：拟人化的手法，形象地表达了作者和鸟儿、露珠这两位朋友和作者之间的默契和亲热的友谊。
③我脚下长出的根须，深深扎进泥土和岩层；头发长成树冠，胳膊变成树枝，血液变成树的汁液，在年轮里旋转、流淌。
这是作者的联想。
树为人友，人为树友，人和树已融为一体④你好，清凉的山泉！你捧出一面明镜，是要我重新梳妆吗？……这一组句子是写“我”跟山中的“朋友”在打招呼，内容一致，结构相似，是一组排比句，同时运用拟人手法，写出了“我”和山里“朋友”之间的那种深厚友谊。
采纳第二人称，读来倍感亲切、热情。
4、中心思想：作者与“山中朋友”互诉心声，营造了一个如诗如画的世界，表达了作者对大自然的无限热爱。
⑤在它们走向泥土的途中，我加入了这短暂而别有深意的仪式；……这句中，“它们”指的是落花和落叶，“仪式”指的是落花、落叶从枝上掉下并融入泥土的过程。

Unit 6 Is an Only-Child a Lonely Child?1.Many couples, who already have one healthy, happy child, are facing a dilemma,namely, the issue of whether or not to have a second child. They have demanding jobs and limited time and financial resources, but they are also very keen to ensure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the pros and cons of having a second child?Is an only child a lonely child? That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.2.The issue of whether to have a second child is one of the most difficult issues thatparents nowadays face. A concern that is often heard with regard to single child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a stigma associated with their decision to have only one child.There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times,especially during vacations.3.Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may bemore spoiled than one with siblings.Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships.Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with siblings.4.Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child isincreasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, 14 percent of women between18 and 34 plan to have just one child, and this percentage is expected to rise. The same trendcan be seen in the UK. According to the Family Policy Studies Center, the overall number of British children being born each year has declined. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had declined to 1.42 by 1996, while latest statistics cite less than one child.This has led to government concerns about supporting an increasing population of elderly people in the future; it is predicted that, by 2020, a third of the population in Japan will be aged 65 or over.5.For some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures ofdevoting time and energy to a second child can seem too overwhelming, resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. According to government surveys, many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 is estimated to be around 20 million yen, equivalent to around US $160,000.6.Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as wellas the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is no potential for family arguments arising from favoritism or sibling jealousy. Moreover, with only one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-esteem which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident.7.Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have asecond child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique,and what is appropriate for one family may not be for another. The important thing, in the end, is to makea decision that both you and your spouse feel confident about.Paragraph 1Words and Expressions1. dilemma n.a situation in which it is difficult to decide what to do, because each choice has its advantages and disadvantagese.g. The bad weather put us in a dilemma whether to leave or stay.Collocation:be in a dilemmae.g. I’m in a dilemma about this job offer.我不知道是否要接受这份工作。

高一英语必修一u6语法知识点
高一英语必修一u6语法知识点Unit 6 in the first year of high school English curriculum covers a wide range of grammar knowledge. This article will discuss various grammar points within this unit, providing explanations and examples.1. Present simple tense:The present simple tense is used to describe habitual actions, general truths, and fixed arrangements. It is formed by adding an 's' or 'es' to the base form of the verb in the third person singular.For example:- Tom usually eats breakfast at 7 AM.- The sun rises in the east.- Our class starts at 8:30 AM.2. Present continuous tense:The present continuous tense is used to describe actions happening at the present moment or temporary situations. It is formed by using the present tense of the verb 'be' (am, is, are) followed by the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb.For example:- I am reading a book right now.- She is studying for her exams.- They are playing football in the park.3. Past simple tense:The past simple tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. It is formed by adding '-ed' or irregular forms to the base form of the verb.For example:- They watched a movie last night.- She finished her homework before dinner.- He didn't go to school yesterday.4. Past continuous tense:The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past. It is formed by using the past tense of the verb 'be' (was, were) followed by the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb.For example:- She was studying when the phone rang.- They were playing video games all evening.- I was cooking dinner at 6 PM yesterday.5. Future simple tense:The future simple tense is used to describe actions that will happen in the future. It is formed by using the modal verb 'will' followed by the base form of the verb.For example:- I will visit my grandparents next weekend.- They will study harder for their exams.- She won't go to the party on Friday.6. Modal verbs:Modal verbs are used to indicate possibility, ability, permission, obligation, or advice. The most common modal verbs include can, could, may, might, must, should, and would.For example:- You can borrow my pen if you need one.- I could swim when I was younger.- She should finish her homework before going out.7. Passive voice:The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action rather than the subject. In a passive sentence, the object of an active sentence becomes the subject, and the main verb is expressed in the past participle form preceded by the appropriate form of the verb 'be' (am, is, are, was, were).For example:- The cake was made by my mother.- The house is being painted by a professional.- The book will be published next month.These are just a few of the important grammar points covered in Unit 6 of the first year of high school English curriculum.

大学英语精读文本第1册UNIT 6
UNIT 6TEXTSan set out to improve efficiency at the shirt factory but, as we find out later in this unit, his plans turned out not quite as he had expected.Sam Adams, Industrial EngineerIf you ask my mother how I happened to become an industrial engineer, she'll tell you that I have always been one.She means that I have always wanted everything to be well organized and neat. When I was still in elementary school, I liked to keep my socks in the upper left-hand drawer of my bureau, my underwear in the upper right drawer, shirts in the middle drawer, and pants, neatly folded, in the bottom drawer.In fact, I was the efficiency expert for the whole family. I used to organize my father's tools, my mother's kitchen utensils, my sister's boyfriends.I needed to be efficient. I wanted to be well organized. For me, there was a place for everything and everything was always in its place. These qualities gave me a good foundation for a career in industrial engineering.Unfortunately, I was also a bit bossy and I wasn't a very good listener. You'll see what I mean when I tell you about the first project I ever did after I finished my bachelor's degree at the university.After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didn't have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father's, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really amazed at what I saw.Most curious of all, there was no quality control whatsoever. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, even a sleeve sometimes!The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadn't gone on strike.Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as "Big Jim," who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasn't fired.After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings.I covered my major points by telling him the following:"If you have a quality control inspection, you will greatly improve your finished product.""If the assembly line is redesigned, a smooth work flow can be achieved and time and energy can be saved.""If you decrease the height of the worktables, the machine operators will work more comfortably.""If the management provides pleasant background music and beautifies the dull setting, the factory will be much more productive.""If the workers have a fifteen-minute coffee break in the morning and afternoon, they will be more efficient.""If excellent work results in frequent pay increases or promotions, the workers will have greater incentive to produce."Mr. Hobbs thanked me for this report and told me he would talk over my suggestions with his brother, the co-owner and manager of the factory. "We're interested in progress here," he said. "We want to keep up with the times."He also gave me a check for $ 100 and a box of shirts with his compliments.NEW WORDSefficiencyn. the state or quality of being efficient 效率industriala. of industry 工业的neata. orderly and clean 整洁的elementarya. of or for beginners 初等的，初级的sockn. 短袜drawern. 抽屉bureaun. a chest of drawers for bedroom use 衣柜underwearn. 内衣pantsn. trousersexpertn. a person with special knowledge or skill 专家，能手kitchenn. room used for cooking厨房utensiln. any tool or container used in the house, esp. for cooking用具，器皿qualityn. the degree of goodness which a thing or a person possesses质量；品质foundationn. 基础careern. profession; way of making a living职业；生涯engineeringn. 工程学；管理unfortunatelyad. 不幸的是；遗憾的是bossya. always telling other people what to do and how to do it, like a boss 爱指挥人的；专横的projectn. a piece of work; a big plan项目；方案bachelorn. a person who had the first university degree学士graduationn. completion of an educational course毕业graduatevi.short-terma. involving or lasting a short period of time 短期的basisn. 基础；根据consultantn. a person who gives professional or technical advice 顾问consultv.amazevt. fill with great surprise or wonder 使大为惊讶，使惊愕curiousa. strange 奇怪的whatsoevera. of any kind, at all 任何的，丝毫的inspectvt. examine 检查shipmentn. the act of wending, carrying or delivering goods 装运。

Unit 6 Is an Only-Child a Lonely Child?1.Many couples, who already have one healthy, happy child, are facing a dilemma,namely, the issue of whether or not to have a second child. They have demanding jobs and limited time and financial resources, but they are also very keen to ensure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the pros and cons of having a second child?Is an only child a lonely child? That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.2.The issue of whether to have a second child is one of the most difficult issues thatparents nowadays face. A concern that is often heard with regard to single child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a stigma associated with their decision to have only one child.There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times,especially during vacations.3.Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be morespoiled than one with siblings.Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with siblings.4.Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child isincreasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, 14 percent of women between18 and 34 plan to have just one child, and this percentage is expected to rise. The same trendcan be seen in the UK. According to the Family Policy Studies Center, the overall number of British children being born each year has declined. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had declined to 1.42 by 1996, while latest statistics cite less than one child.This has led to government concerns about supporting an increasing population of elderly people in the future; it is predicted that, by 2020, a third of the population in Japan will be aged 65 or over.5.For some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures ofdevoting time and energy to a second child can seem too overwhelming, resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. According to government surveys, many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 is estimated to be around 20 million yen, equivalent to around US $160,000.6.Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as wellas the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is no potential for family arguments arising from favoritism or sibling jealousy. Moreover, with only one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality timeand attention. This often leads to increased self-esteem which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident.7.Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have asecond child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique,and what is appropriate for one family may not be for another. The important thing, in the end, is to makea decision that both you and your spouse feel confident about.Paragraph 1Words and Expressions1. dilemma n.a situation in which it is difficult to decide what to do, because each choice has its advantages and disadvantagese.g. The bad weather put us in a dilemma whether to leave or stay.Collocation:be in a dilemmae.g. I’m in a dilemma about this job offer.我不知道是否要接受这份工作。
