高级英语第二册课文翻译Unit1 Pub Talk and the King's English酒吧闲聊与标准英语亨利?费尔利人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊,而且是人类特有的一种活动。
动物之间的信息交流,不论其方式何等复杂,也是称不上交谈的。
闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。
它时而迂回流淌,时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射,时而热情洋溢,话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。
要是有人觉得“有些话要说”,那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。
闲聊不是为了进行争论。
闲聊中常常会有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。
闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。
事实上,真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。
也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失,他们也就听之任之。
或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。
酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解,他们只是临时凑到一起来的,彼此并无深交。
他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂,或恋爱失败,或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿,但别人根本不管这些。
他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样,虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事,也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。
有一天晚上的情形正是这样。
人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。
谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。
可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。
我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。
“几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。
”此语一出,谈话立即热烈起来。
有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。

全国高等教育自学考试指定教材英语专业(本科段)高级英语(下)王家湘课文翻译Lesson OneThe Company in Which I Work我工作的公司约瑟夫·海勒我工作的公司里,每个人都至少害怕一个人.职位越低,所惧怕的人越多.所有的人都害怕那十二位顶层上司,他们帮助创建了这个公司,而且现在仍然大权在握。
所有这十二位都已经上了年纪,而且岁月的沧桑和对成功的执著追求使他们心力交瘁。
他们中很多人在这儿干了一辈子。
当我在大厅里遇见他们时,他们看上去非常友善、沉稳而心满意足,而且他们与别人一起乘坐公共电梯时又总是彬彬有礼、沉默不语。
他们不再努力工作。
他们主持会议,决定别人的晋升,任凭别人在准备发布的通告中使用他们的名字,没有人知道谁真正经营这家公司(甚至连人们认为现在经营着这家公司的那些人都不知道),然而公司的确在运转.在平常的工作日里,我很害怕杰克·格林,这是因为我所在的部门属于他的部门,而杰克·格林是我的上司。
格林害怕我则是因为我的部门的绝大部分工作是为销售部所做的,而销售部比他的部门更重要,而且同他相比,我与迪·卡葛勒以及销售部的其他人员的关系更加密切.格林偶尔也对我不信任,他有时会向我表示他希望我的部门的每一项工作在其他部门知道前要先让他知道。
我知道这不是他真正的意思,他自己的工作非常忙,根本就无暇顾及我们所有的工作。
我会将大部分工作绕过格林并直接交给需要它们的人,而不愿意占他的时间。
毕竟我们部门绝大部分工作只是微不足道的。
但是每当其他部门赞扬我们部门的工作时,格林就会变得不安,如果他从未看见或听到过的话,就更是恼羞成怒。
在我的部门里,有六个人害怕我,其中一个小秘书害怕我们所有的人。
有一个为我工作的人,他对任何人都毫不惧怕,甚至连我也不怕,我真想尽快把他解雇掉,然而我害怕他……公司里非常惧怕大多数人的人是销售人员,他们都生活和工作在极大压力之下,当情况不好时,对销售人员来说就会更糟。

1. However intricate the ways in which animals communicate with each other, they do not indulge in anything that deserves the name of conversation.不管动物之间的交流方式多么复杂,它们不能参与到称得上是交谈的任何活动中。
2. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. There is no winning in conversation.争论会经常出现于交谈中,但争论的目的不是为了说服。
交谈中没有胜负之说。
3. Perhaps it is because of my upbringing in English pubs that I think bar conversation has a charm of its own.或许我从小就混迹于英国酒吧缘故,我认为酒吧里的闲聊别有韵味。
4. I do not remember what made one of our companions say it ---she clearly had not come into the bar to say it , it was not something that was pressing on her mind---but her remark fell quite naturally into the talk.我不记得是什么使得我的一个同伴说起它来的---她显然不是来酒吧说这个的,这不是她事先想好的话题----但她的话相当自然地插入到了交谈中。

高职国际英语进阶综合教程第2册unit2课文原文和译文Text A Office etiquetteOffice etiquette is something that helps you to get along with your colleagues even if you are not on friendly terms. It also helps you make sure that you don’t annoy people with bad habits or comments, and influences how your colleagues will respond to you when you need help. Most office etiquette is unwritten, but this does not mean you should ignore it. There are always codes of conduct that you must pay attention to, as will be made clear in the rest of the article.Be punctual. As a newcomer, you should arrive early, not just on the first day and don’t be the first to leave at the end of the day. Don’t be late for any appointment. It shows that you respect your colleagues’ time and, in return, they will respect your time, too.Respect other people’s privacy. Knock before you enter someone’s office and do not read any correspondence lying on somebody’s desk. If you need to discuss a private matter with a colleague, make sure nobody else can overhear you. Personal issues should not be made into a public topic.Don’t gossip or complain. Sharing professional information is good; gossiping is not. Gossip usually gets passed around quickly and can reflect poorly on you. Limit your comments about your co-workers to positive ones only. It does nothing but harm to complain about anyone, including your boss, your office mate or any co-workers.Don’t disturb others. Always apologise if you inter rupt a discussion, someone’s concentration or other activity. Be aware of how loudly you may be speaking. If people in other cubiclesor offices comment on your conversations, perhaps your voice is too loud. You should either close your office door or lower your voice.Be neat and clean. Take a shower regularly and wear appropriate office clothes. It shows respect for both your colleagues and clients and is a sign that you are professional. Keep your personal workspace clean and neat at all times, for a mes sy desk will make people think that you’re an unorganised person.Be polite to everyone.Smile a lot and be friendly. Treat your co-workers, cleaners, maintenance people and others with the same respect and politeness. Showappreciation for any help offered to you.Be considerate. Wash and return all kitchen items to their proper place and clean anything you have spilt. If you have used the last drop of milk, either tell the person responsible for supplies or buy a replacement. Leave the photocopier in working condition. Return the stapler that you borrowed with at least a few staples left inside. When you use up all the paper in the printer, put more in it for the next person. If a machine jams, try to undo the jam or to tell somebody about it.In short, office etiquette is about being respectful and polite in the office. It is an essential part of growing professionally and becoming a more mature person in the business world.译文:办公室礼仪办公室礼仪能帮助你与同事和睦相处(哪怕关系未必融洽),让你确保自己不因为坏习惯或不当的言论而惹恼别人,进而影响你的同事在你需要帮助时的反应。

1Rock music began in America in the late 1950’s . It was not only a new musical form , but a forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life . In this forum , the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights , war and peace ,the disaffection of their society , and a range of emotions between love and hate . Allin all , in this forum , the American youth redefined the beliefs and feelings of their society . The typical representatives of the early rock music were Elvis Presley , singer and poet Bob Dylan , the Bealtles , the rolling Stones and so on . They were the culture heroes whom the young people worshipped .2The American young people in 1960’s were a generation of rebellion . They found that the affluent American society was filled with poverty , injustice and gypocrisy . They didn’t trust the adult world that didn’t belong to them and refused to take their beliefs and values . Many young people took active part in the struggle which protested against poverty , racial discrimination and Vietnam War . Some young people even tried to overthrow this world by armed revolution. Many other young took passive ways to show their disaffections . They took drugs , refused to take any responsibilities and lived a parasitic way of life . Or they escaped to the frontiers and lived a primitive way of life .3Mathilda had been ill for three days . Her mother had given her some medicine, but it did n’t do any good . So they had to ask the doctor to come . There had been a number of cases of diphtheria in Mathilda’s school and two of them had been dead . When the doctor arrived at Olson’s home , he wanted to examine Mthilda’s throat first . But no mat ter how he coaxed ,,She wouldn’t open her mouth . So the doctor had to get the tongue depressor into her mouth . But Mathilda reduced it to splinters . In order to protect Mathilda herself and other children , the doctor had to make surewhether she had diphtheria or not , so that he could treat her in time . Letting Mathilda ‘s father hold her wrists he tried his best to open her mouth and found she really had diphtheria. This story made us can think such a question that something in life can’t only depend on self willingness . Under some circumstances , certain force seems necessary .4The need for laws on euthanasia can’t be dodged for much longer . Euthanasia is a taboo in most countries . In these countries doctors can only practise it secretly . But it is openly practiced in some countries , such as Holland . Right now more and more countries are going over the arguments about legalizing euthanasia .When a patient suffers from illness for a long time and there is no hope of curing it , why do we l et him polong the throes ?Why can’t we practise euthanasia to stop the throes ?But if we legalize euthanasia , there will be a danger Someone may use it for killing . All in all , euthanasia is question we can’t dodge .5The American women made great c ontributions to the nation’s development , but they received different forms of prejudices because of their sex . In politics , they did all the tedious details that made the differene between victory and defeat on election day and seldom had the chance to reach a better position , while the men reaped the rewards . In economy , most women did the lower-paying and dead –end jobs and they were paid less than the men for the same job . Many American people didn’t admit it was prejudice against women . They said it was only a different division of labour in society . Even many women were content with their roles as second-class citizens . So the author said it was a long painful struggle for the women to get real equality .6When I knew Magpie got a scholarship of a California University and could go to the Fine Arts School to study , I was very pleased for him . I knew he wanted to become a poet all the time. I also knew he had a good talent . It was a very good chance for him . So I went back to Crow Creek to tell him about the good news and let him fill out some papers . But I didn’t find him at his home . His wife said they had not been together for a while and only heard he was in Chamberlain . Then I went for Salina and asked her to help me find Magpie . Salina said Magpie had changed a lot since he was taken into prison . She thought he was not interested in going to the university of white people . But I said Magpie had a right to know this news and make the decision whether to go or not by himself . She agreed and took me to his good friend , Elgie . But when I could really see Magpie at last , he had been shot by the police .7Miss Brill was an English who lived in a coastal city in France . She was old and poor . She would go to the park on every Sunday afternoon . She always sat on the same bench , listening people around her talk , or watching other people’s lives in front of her . She suddenly had a feeling on that Sunday afternoon . She felt the life was like a play and she was one part of the community . She had a part in the performance . At this time , the feeling of loneliness began to escape her .But just at this time she heard a couple of young people talk about her with contempt . Even the young man asked her to leave in a low voice . The short feeling of happiness disappeared . she went home with a broken heart .8Man created language . It was man’s way of communicating with his fellow man . The difference between oral and written language was that oral language could take the human voice to infuse it with the shades of deeper meaning . Flowers was nearly singing when she read A Tale ofTwo Cities . It sounded beautiful . Her reading made me realize the wonder of language. Mrs. Flowers gave me novels and poems . I learned value of life from these books and realized how beautiful the language of literature works was .Man created language . It was man’s way of communicating with his fellow man . The difference between oral and written language was that oral language could take the human voice to infuse it with the shades of deeper meaning . Flowers was nearly singing when she read A Tale of Two Cities . It sounded beautiful . Her reading made me realize the wonder of language. Mrs. Flowers gave me novels and poems . I learned value of life from these books and realized how beautiful the language of literature works was .9People have a short attention span . So in order to capture the viewer’s attention , television must provide constant stimulation through variety , novelty , action and movement . The result of doing so is that news is too brief and results in inefficient communication . Many news programs are like “ machine –gunning with scraps “and figh t coherence of mind.The appeal to the short attention span will decivilize as well. To avoid complexity means to give up thinking . The “ functionally illiterates “ among adult Americans are continually increasing . They even do not know how to answer the want ad. Or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle . At least television should be responsible for part of it .10One night , two German military officers were murdered by Frenchmen . The next day , a German officer declared to thirty French prisoners , “ My order is that one man in every ten shall be selected and shot tomorrow . That is to say , three of you thirty people will die tomorrow . We are indifferent as to which three . You can choose for yourselves .”The prisoners had a heated discussion about who should die. Someone said the old people should go first . This was the way of nature . Some people said the unmarried should go first because they had no responsibilities . At last , all consented to drawinglots to decide which three went to die . A rich lawyer unfortunately got the death draw . He said , “ I ‘ll give a hundred thousand francs to anyone who will die for me . “11Some people will fall asleep as soon as their heads touch the pillows . Some people can’t go to sleep although they have been lying in bed several hours . The more he wants to go to sleep , the more wakeful he is . I belong to the latter . When I write an essay , I feel an overpowering desire for sleep . But when I go to bed , I can do anything but sleep . I can compose grand symphonies , paint magnificent pictures and write good essays . The artificial ways of inducing sleep are legion , but they are of no avail . When I can’t go to sleep at night , I imagine a dialogue with a friend till I either laugh or fall asleep . I find this is a good way to go to sleep .12As a very small child , I made up my mind to become a writer in future . When I become a writer , what I have most wanted to do is to make political writing into a work of art . The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is wrong . Writing is exposing lies , protecting truth and also an aesthetic experience . Animal Farm was the book in which I tried to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole . Writing should serve the society and the public . This is the principle I must follow . I f a writer lacks political purpose , he will only write some purple passages , even some humbug .13The first thing Russell thinks is the most ordinary function of work , namely the relief o ftedium. He thinks even the dullest work is less painful than idleness to most people . Then he talks about how the work can provide the people with opportunities for their ambitions. Man, as a member of the society , hopes that he can procure more and more social achievements . He pointsout that most women are so unfortunate that they can not work outside their homes . They are deprived of this chance .It seems that different kinds of work give people satisfaction to different degrees . Russell studies the concerning two chief elements , that is the exercise of skill and construction .When he analyzes the latter , Russell finds an opportunity to express his profound hatred to the war and social violence .14John F. Kerry was a discharged veteran from Vietnam War and took part in the investigation held in Detroit in December in 1970 . He thought the purpose for the veterans to attend the investigation was not only to confess their war crimes in order to purge their souls . It was not the individual but the American government that should have been responsible for the war crimes . He hoped to arouse the sense of responsibility of American people by this text . He criticized that the mass of people in America lit erally didn’t give a damn and pointed out that the policy of the American government was hypocritical. He revealed the veterans’ miserable conditions after they came back : racial discrimination ,drug taking , unemployment , no good medical care , etc. In the end he told the readers that members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War would march on Washington to the Capitol . Their most important demand was that the government set a date for withdrawl of troops from Vietnam, otherwise , they would camp and sta y there and won’t move .15The author first pointed out that American and European women expended a large sum of money on cosmetics in order to make them look younger and more beautiful . Unlike the people of 19th century , they didn’t think that only women who were not virtuous could use cosmetics . But the author worried that women only paid attention to their appearances and ignored the necessity to overcome the ugliness of theirhearts . He thought the people would be really beautiful only when the human beings had an opportunity to live harmoniously . But the author did not think the objective could be realized .16The three interviewers hid the truth of the firm to McDeere and only told him that the firm mainly did tax work . The clients of the firm were all big corporations , banks and wealthy people . Although the firm was not large in size and only consisted of forty –one lawyers , the salaries an all other benefits of the members were incredibly high . For the first year , McDeere could receive a base salary of eighty thousand dollars , plus bonuses , a low –interest mortgage and a luxurious car . If he worked hard , he would become a partner in ten years . If he put in ten more years , he could be a millionaire .All these were very appealing to Mcdeere . He agreed to accept this job without hesitation . But he could not imagine that he mistakenly went into a lawyer firm which was controlled by a black organization and specialized in illegal activities .1It’s not easy to work in a big comp any . There is strict hierarchy in the company , and if you hope to be successful and get promotion , you have to obey directions and disciplines in addition to bear heavy pressure of work and work hard . Every day you are under rigid supervision and live in panic . If what you do is a job which will not provide you any chance to get promotion and for some reasons you have no way to find another job , you will be bored with it and feel dull . You will be in despair , lose ambition and working motivation , and finally become a mediocre .2Eveline agreed to marry Frank –an Irish sailor who lived in Buenos Ayres . They got to know each other when Frank just came back Dublin to spend his holidays . They would go to Buenos Ayres by boat that night . The boat was going to leave in a few hours , but she was still in doubtwhether it was wise or not to go to such a distant country with Frank . Although she didn’t like the job in the store , and her father didn’t treat her well , it was the only life that she was f amiliar with , after all . Besides , Eveline had promised to her mother that she would keep the home together as long as she could before her mother died . But the vision of the miserable life of her mother made her feel horrible . She would live a happy life with Frank .But she changed her mind before boarding the boat . The boat left with Frank . Everybody dreamed of happy life , but one must have courage to realize his dream .3Television has much more advantages than newspapers . When watching TV, we use our eyes as well as ears ; we can see the words and picture on the screen , and listen to the language and music as well . TV news broadcasting is quicker than that of newspapers . But television lives on commercial advertising to an even greater extent than newspapers . Profits drive television to cater to the lowest instinct of man . There are violence and sex in entertainment programmes of American television . Very often , television coverage of news is superficial and inadequate .There are a lot of problems in American newspapers too . the most prominent problem is that newspapers distort fact , and attack the countries ,people and the social systems which Americans do not like .4The life circle includes birth , being old , and death . Death is an unavoidable end for everybody . Aging is the neglected period of human life circle . Death happens within a few seconds while aging is a long period which means illness , poverty , and loneliness advertisements and travel folders show relaxed , happy , well-dressed older people enjoying recreation,travel and their grandchildren . But all these can not be enjoyed by the poor elder . They have to struggle to survive in old age . Many old people struggle to exist in an inhospitable world . There are more and more old people in the world now , and the government of every country is beginning to pay attention to the problems of old people .5Mrs . Wright was a town girl before she married John Wright and lived in his farm . She used to be a lively girl who liked singing . But during the thirty years living together with Wright , she totally changed . Wright was miserly and never paid attention to his wife’s needs . There was no joy in their house , and even the neighbours were reluctant to call at their house . One winter morning , Mr. Hale , their neighbour , found that Wright was strangled on his bed .Mrs Wright said that shedidn’t know who killed her husband . Her behaviour was very queer . She didn’t call the police , but just sat in the rocker rocking back and forth in the kitchen . The policemen arrested her . Next morning , county sheriff and county attorney took Hale back to the farm to investigate who had killed Wright .6The county sheriff and county attorney couldn’t find out any sign of anyone having come from the outside , and they were sure that Wright had been killed by his wife . In order to make juries believe the story , they had to find out Mrs . Wright’s motive for killing her husband , but they failed . While they were busy investigating ,the two women sitting in the kitchen found a dead canary which was wrapped up in a piece of silk lying in a box . The canary had been wrung to death . The two women could imagine what kind of life Mrs . Wright had spent while living with Wright in this house . They didn’t want the box containing the dead canary to be seen by sheriff and county attorney . In order to protect Mrs . Wright , they hid the box .7Ace was in a plight . He lost the job and was afraid to see his wife .Evey had to work as a saleswoman because Ace could not earn enough money to support the family . She was always very tired after working a whole day . She always had no time to cook dinner . now he was sacked , so he was worried that Evey would be ma d . Ace ‘s mother took care of their daughter Bonnie for them . Evey always took Bonnie back , but Ace went to take Bonnie that day . Ace’s mother was glad that Ace lost the job , for she thought Ace should have a better job . Evey was not very angry with Ace this time , but did Ace get rid of the plight ?8Why are so many people overweight in the United States ? Most people may say that there are two reasons . One is that American food is tasty ; the other is that they take few exercises . But the author doesn’t think this way . He proposes such a hypothesis that people eat in order to satisfy the sense of taste . When food has the flavor of library paste , people need to eat more so as to satisfy the frustrated taste buds . “ Science “ causes the blandne ss of American food which is the real reason why obesity has become a national curse . We should not be very serious about the author’s strange opinion which is merely a way that the author used to satirize the American food .9I was born , grew up and finished high school in Watts , so I have deep feelings to Watts . I decided to make a career in Watts because it was supposed to be impossible . At that time , many young blacks left Watts in droves . They thought they could make a career only outside the ghetto .I also left Watts and went to study in Oxford University and Yale University . The riots in ghetto in 1960s showed the ever increasing militancy of the blacks . The riots were the most significant massive action taken by Northern Negroes . It was a watershed in the ghetto’s history . The deepest impact of the riots was on the people of Watts . I will never escape from the ghetto . I have staked my all on its future . Watts is my home .10Customers have different values about products and services . Some customers demand low prices with the least inconvenience . Some customers don’t care much about the prices , but they demand that the products should represent the hottest style and technology on the market . Other customers demand that products and services should meet their specific needs . Thus , if a company hopes to become the market leader and keep its edge , it must focus on one dimension and create a breakthrough to reach new heights of performance according to its own situation . It can win through cost or with great products or through customer intimacy .11Human beings have four major desires ; acquisitiveness , rivalry , vanity and love of power . Acquisitiveness is the wish to possess as much as possible of goods . Satiety is a dream which will always elude you . Acquisitiveness is the mainspring of the capitalist system , but rivalry is a much stronger motive than acquisitiveness . Vanity is a motive of immense potency . It is scarcely possible to exggerate the influence of vanity throughout the range of human life . But love of power is a motive which overweighs vanity . love of power is insatiable . Love of power is by far the strongest motive in the lives of important men . love of power is greatly increased by the experience of power .12Jerry ----Marian’s son -----had to join the army and was sent to Vietnam to fight a losing battle shortly after he spent twenty –year –old birthday . Later , he was captured in one battle and was sent to a prison –compound . Young Jerry couldn’t stand such a heavy blow and broke down . the handsome young man changed into another person . He was expressionless with a dull look in his eyes . His face muscles were jerking . He looked like an idiot . Marian’s heart broke when she saw her idiot son in the newsreel . What made her relieved was the fact that her son was still alive and she would wait for her son patiently .13Huxley states in the article that most people are snobs about something . He says that some people even feel that they are important just because of having certain diseases . But so far I have never met any disease –snobs . In china , during the Culture Revolution , the snobbery of family and the snobbery of ignorance and stupidity were most popular . Twenty years later , modernity –snobbery is making headway today . our media encourage modernity –snobbery desperately . TV advertisements urge people to buy new goods . In addition , they make you feel that you are shameful if you don’t have the most fashionable goods . For u p-to-dateness means that you are wealthy , and wealth is a symbol of strong capability . Only a man knowing his own mind can resist the flood of propaganda .14Arthur likes to go fishing along the canal on Sunday mornings . After six days’ tiring labor work , he wants to leave the factory , leave the city as soon as possible to go to the tranquil countrysideand sit by the canal , fishing . He thinks it is a best way to relax himself and a best way to forget all the troubles . The factory is dirty stinking and ugly and people do not want to stay there for one more minute . The countryside has a picturesque view : fresh air , enchanting spring scene , green grass and trees , fragrant earth . The factory is hell while the countryside is heaven .15Most people believe that American education is of the highest quality in the world , but the author has his unique opinion . He thinks that there are serious problems in American education . The low quality of American education can not be faulted on the low teaching level . Teachers are working hard , but the problem is that they are teaching so rigidly that they work rigidly from the approved rigidly programmed primers . They are afraid of losing the job . They can’t cultivate rare genius in this way . Another serious problem in american education is that children are not taught how to respect and inherit cultural heritage of human beings . What the author states here is the situation of primary education . Are the secondary education and higher education in the same situation .?16Jerry was tired of swimming and sunbathing . He wanted to swim down to the bottom of the sea to see what it was like there and play with other boys . But he felt he should not leave his widowed mother alone . His mother was also considerate of him . she hoped Jerry to stay on the safe beach with her care at his side . But she was afraid that her son felt that she tried to keep him close and she was possessive . Her son was eleven years old . She should give him freedom , and let him go wherever he likes to go . He could take care of himself without her . When Jerry swam far , he kept looking back to see whether his mother was still on the beach .。

Unit 1 Pub Talk and the King’s English人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊,而且是人类特有的一种活动。
动物之间的信息交流,不论其方式何等复杂,也是称不上交谈的。
闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。
它时而迂回流淌,时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射,时而热情洋溢,话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。
要是有人觉得“有些话要说”,那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。
闲聊不是为了进行争论。
闲聊中常常会有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。
闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。
事实上,真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。
也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失,他们也就听之任之。
或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。
酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解,他们只是临时凑到一起来的,彼此并无深交。
他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂,或恋爱失败,或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿,但别人根本不管这些。
他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样,虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事,也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。
有一天晚上的情形正是这样。
人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。
谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。
可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。
我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。
“几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。

2 The little crowd of mourners -- all men and boys, no women--threaded their way across the market place between the piles of pomegranates and the taxis and the camels, walling a short chant over and over again. What really appeals to the flies is that the corpses here are never put into coffins, they are merely wrapped in a piece of rag and carried on a rough wooden bier on the shoulders of four friends. When the friends get to theburying-ground they hack an oblong hole a foot or two deep, dump the body in it and fling over it a little of the dried-up, lumpy earth, which is like broken brick. No gravestone, no name, no identifying mark of any kind. The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot. After a month or two no one can even be certain where his own relatives are buried.一支人数不多的送葬队伍——其中老少尽皆男性,没有一个女的——沿着集贸市场,从一堆堆石榴摊子以及出租汽车和骆驼中间挤道而行,一边走着一边悲痛地重复着一支短促的哀歌。

柯夏克已料到,卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。
就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。
柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。
路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。
但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。
为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。
两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。
他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。
约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。
公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。
37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。
四年前,他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。
不过,当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低,高出海平面仅几英尺。
“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺,,’他对父亲说,“而且距离海边足有250码远。
这幢房子是1915年建造的。

”“什么?”“电脑数码控制的机器。
看看它换工具有多快?”罗玢从一个有机玻璃窗里往里凝视,看着一些东西像突然抽了筋一样转来转去,进进出出,喷出一种看上去像牛奶咖啡似的液体给机器加油润滑。
“这是干什么?”“机制汽缸盖。
很美,对吧?”“我倒不喜欢这样形容。
”在罗玢的眼里,这台机器运动突然,猛烈,但受控制地向前一冲,又往后一退,真有点儿刁钻古怪,甚至流里流气,活像某种钢铁爬虫在吞食猎物。
“总有一天,”威尔科克斯说,”将会出现摆满这种机器的无灯工厂。
”“干吗是无灯的呢?”“机器不需要灯光,机器是瞎子。
一旦你建起一座全电脑化的工厂,你就可以拆除灯,关上门,由它去制造引擎或者吸尘器,或者任何东西,一切独自在黑暗里进行。
一天二十四小时都在工作。
”“这个主意叫人头皮发麻。
”“在美国,在斯堪的纳维亚,人家早已有了。
”“那经理呢?他也成了一台电脑,坐在黑暗的办公室里?”威尔科克斯对这个问题认真考虑了一下。
”不,电脑不会思想。
总得有人来管理,起码有一个人,决定做什么,怎样做。
不过这些工作”——他把头一扬,眼睛对着一排排工作台瞥了一圈——”不会再有了。
这里的这台机器正在干去年十二个人干的工作。
”“美好的新世界哟,”罗玢说,“那里只有经理们才有工作。
”这一回威尔科克斯没有忽略她的反讽。
”我不喜欢把工人当做冗员裁掉,”他说,”可我们也处于两难的困境。
如果不现代化,我们就失去竞争优势,只好裁减冗员,如果搞现代化,我们还得裁减冗员,因为我们不再需要。
”“我们应当做的事情就是花更多的钱给人们做好创造性休闲的准备,”罗玢说。

英语高阶教程(陈静)第二单元中文翻译

英语高阶教程(陈静)第二单元中文翻译The story of one hour大家都知道马兰德夫人的心脏有毛病,所以在将她丈夫的死讯告知她时都是小心翼翼的,尽可能地温和委婉。
马兰德的姐姐,约瑟芬,用不连贯的语言,遮遮掩掩地给她一些暗示。
她丈夫的朋友,理查兹也在那,就在她的身边。
当火车事故的消息传来时,理查兹正好在报社里,他看到“布兰迪·马兰德”的名字排在事故遇难者名单的首位。
随后的第二封电报,使他在最快的时间里证实了消息的可靠性。
他必须赶在那些不太细心,不太温柔的朋友之前把这个不幸的消息带回来。
她不像许多别的女人那样,只是神情麻木地听着这个故事,然后立刻扑到她姐姐的怀里,嚎啕大哭,泪如泉涌。
当悲痛的狂潮过去后,她独自回到了自己的房间,不让任何人跟着她。
窗户是开着的,对面放着一把宽敞舒适的扶手椅,她整个人精疲力竭地沉了进去,这种疲惫,不仅折磨着她的身体,似乎也浸入了她的灵魂。
透过窗口,她看到了屋子外空旷的广场上,充满了新春气息的树梢是那么兴奋。
空气中弥漫着芬芳的雨的气息。
窗户下面的街道上,一个小贩正在沿街叫卖着他的商品。
远处传来飘渺的歌声,数不清的麻雀在屋檐下呢喃。
对着她窗口西边的天空上,云朵层层叠叠地堆积着,间或露出一绺绺蔚蓝的天空。
她把头靠在椅背上,非常平静,除了偶尔会呜咽一两声,使她有些颤抖,就像小孩子哭着睡着了,但在睡梦中继续呜咽一样。
她还很年轻,白皙而平静的脸上的线条,显示着一种压抑或者说是一种力量。
但是现在,她的目光有些呆滞,凝望着白云间那一绺绺蔚蓝天空。
这并不是匆匆的一瞥,而是一种长久的深思熟虑。
有一种感觉正在向她靠近,那正是她带着恐惧在等待的。
是什么呢?她不知道。
这种感觉很微妙,难以捉摸,她说不清楚。
但是她可以感觉得到它正在空中蔓延开来,穿过弥漫于空气中的声音,气味和颜色慢慢靠近她。
现在,她的内心骚动不安。
她开始认识到那种向她步步逼近并慢慢控制她的感觉是什么了。
她努力地想用她自己的意志力击退它,但是她的意志力就像她那两只白皙、纤细的双手一样无力。

英语高阶教程下册课文翻译第一单元为什么我们爱上了自己的爱人By Dr. Joyce Brothers你知道吗?一对已婚夫妇曾经看起来本不那么合适——而现在,他们都享受着婚姻生活,你知道其中缘由吗?我就认识这么一对夫妻:他,身材健壮的前退役运动员,还是个出色的销售员,在少年联盟球队(Little League)当教练,活跃于扶轮社(Rotary Club),每周六都和朋友打高尔夫球。
而她,纤细安静,完全就是个居家女子,甚至都不喜欢和朋友外出吃饭。
是何种神秘的力量使我们投入另一个人的怀抱?同时,还使我们不再爱其他任何人,即便在没有偏见的旁人眼中他们和我们的爱人看上去应同样合我们心意?根据曾在约翰斯·霍普金斯大学从事医学心理学和儿科学的名誉教授约翰·莫奈的研究,在影响我们择偶的诸多因素中,最说明问题的是一种被称为“爱图”的东西:它是我们大脑中的一组编码信息,记载着我们的爱憎。
据约翰.霍普金斯大学医学心理学科学院院士John Money教授说,我们心目种理想伴侣的形象,受到很多因素影响,其中最关键的一项,就是他所说的“爱情地图”——将自己喜欢什么讨厌什么,在脑中编码而成一组信息。
显示我们对头发和眼睛颜色的偏好,还有声音,气味,身材。
还记录了吸引我们的那种性格,无论是温柔友善型还是寡言坚强型。
简单来说,我们爱上那些最符合自己爱情地图的类型,然后展开追求。
爱情地图很大程度都是由童年经历决定。
到八岁为止,我们理想伴侣在脑中已经初具雏形。
我做演讲时,时常会提问观众,是什么,吸引他们爱上自己的伴侣或者另一半。
得到的答案大相径庭:“她非常坚强而且独立”,“我喜欢他/她的红头发”,“我爱他的幽默感”,“就是因为,他坏坏的笑。
”我相信他们所说的。
但是我也猜得到,如果我再让同一个男人或者女人去形容他们的母亲,他们的另一半和自己母亲之间会有很多相似点。
是的,我们的母亲——我们生命中第一位真爱——在我们爱情地图上画了很大一部分。
我们小时候,母亲就是我们生活的中心,我们也是母亲的生活中心。
所以母亲是怎样的性格,给我们留下无法磨灭的印象,我们永远会被这种特质的人吸引,从脸部特征,身材类型,到个性气质,甚至连幽默感也相似。
如果母亲个性温婉慷慨,那我们成年以后会喜欢个性也同样温婉慷慨的人。
如果母亲坚强镇定,那将来吸引我们的那一位也会充满公正的力量。
母亲对于儿子来说,另外还有一种影响:怎样才是吸引人的女子,母亲不仅能给与提示,还能影响儿子对女性的总体感受。
所以,如果母亲温柔和蔼,儿子会认为这样才是女性的形象。
他们很可能会成为温柔有责任感的爱人,同样会关心家庭。
反之,如果母亲个性阴郁,只是偶尔表现友好,马上又会变得冷酷,难以相处,那么孩子长大会变成“跳着舞走开的恋人”(对于爱情不负责任的人)。
因为他对母亲的爱心生恐惧,他害怕承诺,为此他会将女友弃之不管。
母亲,很大程度上决定了我们吸引异性的特质,而父亲——我们生命中第一位男性——影响着我们与异性的联系。
父亲对孩子的性格和婚姻快乐与否有着极大的影响。
如同母亲影响男孩子对女性的形象的总体感受,父亲对于女孩儿也有同样的影响,决定男性在她们心目中的形象。
如果父亲经常表扬女儿,肯定她的价值,那么她和男性相处会更融洽。
但是如果父亲对女儿冷漠或者忽略,女儿会缺乏自信,认为自己又不可爱又不漂亮。
下面谈谈对立,对立双方真的是能够相互吸引吗?是、也不是。
我们以很多方式想要寻找一个镜中的自己的形象。
比如,外表具有吸引力的人们,通常就会被具有同样吸引力的异性所吸引。
此外,我们中大多数人都在同一社会群体中成长。
我们和同一个城镇的人们在一起;我们的朋友都有差不多的教育背景和职业目标。
我们和这些人相处最融洽,所以我们另一半家庭背景,往往和我们自己的家庭非常相似。
美国西北大学终身社会学教授罗伯特·温奇在他的研究中指出:我们选择婚姻伴侣牵涉到一系列社会背景的相同之处,但他也坚持认为我们寻找人生伴侣也是出于双方的互补需要。
健谈者往往会吸引一个倾听型伴侣,性格暴躁者可能会寻求一个唯唯诺诺、言听计从的伴侣。
即使是耄耋老人,切身体会婚姻历程后忠告我们:选择人生伴侣一定要心意相通,或者,恰如温奇的观察:多数白头偕老的伴侣们可能源自相似的社会背景和不同的个性特征。
可是,生活中有许多来自不同社会背景的情侣们步入婚姻的殿堂,而且姻缘美满,一生幸福。
我认识一个家住芝加哥的传统的爱尔兰家庭背景的工人,深深爱上了一个信奉浸信会的非裔美国籍的女子。
当他们结婚时,他们的亲朋好友都认为这个家庭摇摇欲坠。
但是时过境迁25年后,他们的小日子依然如故:红红火火,且幸福美满。
原来该名女子就像她胸怀爱心、为人厚道的婆母,婆母勤恳踏实地料理家务,常去教会担当志愿者或者帮助那些需要帮助的人们。
这就是她的丈夫爱上她的品质,而这一品质使得她的丈夫根本不去考虑种族、宗教信仰和其它许多社会背景方面的因素。
犹太人乔治·伯伦与爱尔兰天主教徒格瑞斯·爱伦喜结连理,他过去常常引以自豪地说:他的婚姻就象他钟爱的一场优美动听的乐曲,尽管格瑞斯风趣滑稽有余。
他们俩共同拥有一定的相似社会背景:同在大城市的贫困大家庭长大。
然而,他们第一次同台演出促成其终生相伴。
他们俩纯粹属于互补型夫妇:男人直心直肠,女人婉转幽默。
世界上有一些“与众不同的夫妇”,几乎痛苦终生,我们都知道有一些绝美骄人与平庸壁花成婚,人们戏称类似的爱情交易是半斤对八两,即公平合理。
当男人或者女人拥有某项特定资产,包括知识水平高、美貌超群、使人神魂颠倒的个性,或者腰缠万贯等,选择人生伴侣就可以优势互补,取长补短。
例如:美貌超群者常与有权有钱的纨绔子弟匹配,富裕家庭的草包常与贫穷家庭才貌双全者般配。
事实上,几乎任何夫妻都可能天长地久,和谐美满。
我的邻居驻足于一个晚会,晚会上,一个将近50岁的男人罗伯特冲口而出:“如果你的女儿计划嫁给一个扎着马尾辫儿,并坚持要做饭的年轻人,你对此有什么看法?”“除非你的女儿也喜欢烹饪。
”我说道“我想她是太幸运了呢”。
“正是”,他的妻子随即高声附合。
“罗伯特,真正有问题的是你啊,是你的大男子主义又在作祟了。
这事关键在于他们两情相悦,互相爱慕。
”我试图安慰罗伯特,指出她们女儿选中的这个年轻人似乎是那种随性的,客观的人——她自己的母亲也具备这一品质的。
难道世界上真有一见钟情吗?难道没有吗?无数的男男女女们坠入爱河,人们可能会立刻发现这些情侣们有着独一无二的相似之处。
最普遍可能性是同读一本书或者是同乡。
同时,他们承认对方的某些性格特点可以弥补自己性格上的不足。
命中注定,在那个周末,我赶巧成了被爱情魔杖击中的人之一,当时我就读康奈尔大学,是大学二年级学生,恰恰我患了重感冒,正在犹豫能否与家人前往可特斯可山度假。
最后我无奈地决定到处走走,心想总比孤孤单单的独自呆在宿舍里好。
当天晚上我正准备去晚餐,我的妹妹匆匆忙忙地冲上楼梯向我大喊:“只要你走进餐厅,你就会遇到你要下嫁的白马王子”。
当时我认为是妹妹“瞎胡闹”,但是事实证明我妹妹没有比这更金口玉言的了,我一看见他就赏心悦目,那记忆现在仍能令我心旌荡漾。
他也就读康奈儿大学,医学院预科生,顺便提及一下,他也患了重感冒,我与弥尔顿遂一见钟情。
弥尔顿与我同甘共苦牵手人生39年,直到他1989年离开人世。
爱的洗礼历历在目,正如里奇·弗洛姆所说的“夫妻双方感情磨擦碰撞,直至合二为一”,纵然我们俩各自不断变化、日益发展和昼夜兼程地努力践行着生活的方方面面。
第二单元两片树叶的爱情By Joseph Singep这是一座很大很茂密的森林,长满生有各种各样叶子的树。
通常,每年的这个时候天气很冷了,甚至下雪了,可是这个十一月比较暖和,如果不是满林子的落叶——桔黄的,酒红的,金黄的,还有杂色的——也许以为还是夏天呢。
这些落叶有些在白天,有些在夜里被雨打落,被风吹落,如今它们在森林的地面上形成了一条厚厚的落叶毯子。
尽管已干枯,落叶仍散发出好闻的香味。
阳光透过树枝照耀着它们,落叶上爬动着在秋天的暴风雨中不知怎么存活下来的虫子、苍蝇。
落叶底下也为蟋蟀们提供了藏身之所,田鼠和许多其它生物也在大地上找寻庇护。
在一棵其它叶子都落了的树梢上,还有两片挂在一根细枝上:这是奥立和特鲁法。
奥立和特鲁法也不知道为什么他们在所有的雨、寒夜和风中幸存了下来。
没有人知道为什么有的树叶会飘落下来而有的树叶依旧长在树上?可是奥立和特鲁法认为答案在于他们深深地爱着对方。
奥立比特鲁法年长几天,外形略大于特鲁法,可是特鲁法更漂亮精致。
每当刮风下雨或开始下冰雹时,一片树叶并不能为另一片做些什么。
然而每到这个时候,奥立都鼓励特鲁法。
在最恶劣的暴风雨里,雷鸣电闪,狂风不仅刮落树叶,甚至刮断整根树枝,奥立央求着特鲁法:“坚持,特鲁法!尽你的全力坚持住!”有时在寒冷的暴风雨之夜,特鲁法会抱怨:“我的时间到了,奥立,可是你要坚持住!”“为了什么理由呢?”奥立问。
“没有你我的生命毫无意义,如果你掉下去,我将跟你一起掉下去!”“不,奥立,别这样!一片树叶只要能留在树上就不应该松手往下掉。
”“这全得靠你是否留下来陪我。
”奥立回答。
“白天我看着你爱慕你的美丽,夜里感觉着你的芬芳。
只我一片树叶留在树上?决不!”特鲁法说:“奥立,你的话真让我高兴,可是你说得不对。
你很清楚我不漂亮了,看我多皱,变得多枯萎了啊!我唯一剩下的就是——我爱你。
”奥立说:“那不就够了吗?爱是所有力量中最高尚、最美好的。
只要我们在这里彼此相爱,就没有风,没有雨或暴风雪能毁灭我们。
告诉你,特鲁法,我从来没有像现在这么爱你。
”“为什么,奥立?为什么,我已经完全枯黄了。
”“谁说绿色漂亮黄色就不漂亮了?所有的色彩都同样漂亮。
”奥立刚说完这些话,特鲁法这几个月里一直害怕的事发生了——一阵风刮来从细枝上拉扯松了奥立。
特鲁法开始颤抖、晃动,似乎她很快也要被刮落了,可是她牢牢抓住了。
她看到奥立掉了下去在空中摇晃着,她用叶子的语言大声喊:“奥立,回来!回来啊,奥立!”可是她甚至话都没能说完,奥立就从视野里消失了。
他跟地上的其它落叶混合在一起,而特鲁法孤伶伶地留在了树上。
只要天还没黑,特鲁法不管怎样还能设法忍受悲痛。
可是天渐渐黑冷下来,并开始下起刺骨的雨,她绝望了。
不知怎么地她觉得所有树叶不幸的责任要怪树,要怪长有巨大树枝的树干。
树叶掉了,而树干仍旧高大牢固地扎根在大地上,没有风雨或冰雹能掀翻它。
这些对树有什么要紧呢,它有可能永远存活下去,可是成为一片树叶呢?在特鲁法看来,树干就像上帝,它用树叶覆盖自己几个月,然后又抖落它们;在树干高兴的时候就用树的汁液滋养树叶,而后又渴死它们。
特鲁法请求树把奥立还给她,让夏天再一次来临,可是树没有注意到它的祈求。
特鲁法从没想到一个夜晚能像今晚这么长——这么黑暗,这么严寒。
