本文通过对比《挪威的森林》林少华译版和赖明珠译版（天津外国语大学高翻学院，天津市 300204）摘要：在国内尤其大陆地区，林少华翻译的村上春树的诸多作品，得到了广大学者和读者的肯定，其中《挪威的森林》尤其著名。
本文通过对比《挪威的森林》林少华译版和赖明珠译版，结合林少华的生平经历、翻译观念等，探讨了文学翻译者应具有的基本素养。
关键词：文学翻译；双语水平；审美忠实《挪威的森林》是村上春树的代表作之一，在日本上市十几年间就畅销一千万册。
在我国也很受欢迎，发行了多种译本，还曾掀起过一股“村上热”。
在激烈的竞争中，林的译作脱颖而出。
北师大教授王向远就评价说：“村上春树在我国的影响，很大程度上依赖于林少华译文的精彩”[1]。
在众多译本中，为什么林的译作能被大家认可？且林少华也有译过夏目漱石、川端康成等作家的作品，为什么唯独在村上这里取得如此大的成功，几乎成为他在中国的“代言人”呢？本文对比了《挪威的森林》林译版和赖明珠译版，结合林的个人经历等，试分析林少华译作成功的原因，进而探究一名文学翻译者应具有的素养。
1 高超的双语水平和双文化能力一名译者必须有高超的双语水平，而翻译文学作品更要扎实掌握语言及其背后的文化。
以下就从外语水平、母语水平和双文化能力这三方面来分析。
1.1扎实的外语水平林少华现任中国海洋大学日语系教授，他的日语水平自不待言，且对日本文化更有多年的亲身体验。
林少华本科和研究生都就读于吉林大学，专攻日本古典文学。
毕业后他在广州暨南大学执教十几年，还曾多次、长期赴日本进修或任教。
比如1987年至1988年他在大阪市立大学进修了日本古典文学，还在日本长崎县立大学任教了3年，2002年又在东京大学担任了一年的特别研究员。
挪威森林（NorwegianWood）_高中英语作文
挪威森林(Norwegian Wood)i was thirty-seven then, strapped in my seat as the huge 747 plunged through dense cloud cover on approach to the hamburg airport. cold november rains drenched the earth and lent everything the gloomy air of a flemish landscape: the ground crew ran gear, a flag atop a squat airport building, a bmw billboard. so germany again.37岁的我端坐在波音747客机上，庞大的机体穿过厚重的夹雨云层,俯身向汉堡机场降落。
11月砭人肌肤的冷雨将大地涂得一片阴沉,使得身披雨衣的地勤工、呆然垂向地面的候机楼上的旗,以及bmw广告板等的一切的一切,看上去竟同佛兰德派抑郁画幅的背景一般。
罢了罢了,又是德国,我想。
once the plane was on the ground soft music began to flow from the ceiling speakers: a sweet orchestral cover version of the beatles' " norwegian wood". the melody never failed to send a shudder through me, but this time it hit me harder than ever.飞机刚一着陆,天花板扩音器中低声传出轻柔的背景音乐,那是一个管弦乐队演奏的甲壳虫乐队的《挪威的森林》。
那旋律一如往日地使我难以自已。
这一次,比往日还要强烈地摇撼着我的身心。

If you're a bookworm, a Harry Potter fan and a London Underground user then it's been an exciting month for you.Emma Watson, who starred in films based on the novels about a fictional schoolboy wizard, has been hiding books on the Tube for passengers to leaf through.It's part of the Books On The Underground movement, which has a simple aim: to get more people burying themselves in literature. And the way they do it is to leave tomes on trains for commuters to pick up,dip into and then leave for another lucky reader to skim.The movement started out in 2012 and drops off about 150volumes a week in stations across the UK's capital. Talking about Watson's participation in the project, the manager of Books On The Underground, Cordelia Oxley, said, "The reaction has been phenomenal. It must be a mixture of how much everyone adores Emma, and how exciting it is to find something as wonderful as a new book on your journey."The 100 or so editions Watson left for passengers to pore over were even more special because she left a hand-written inscription. The paperbacks were copies of Kaya Angelou's Mom & Me & Mom.One person who discovered a copy of the book on the Tube said she felt like the character Charlie Bucket – a boy who finds a golden ticket to the world's greatest chocolate factory – in the Roald Dahl classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.Watson became a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in the summer of 2014 and has since started devouring as many books and essays on equality and feminism as possible. She has also started her own book club.So, why not take a leaf out of Emma Watson's book and leave a copy of your favourite book on a train? It could make a stranger's life richer.Step 3测验与练习Task 1 阅读课文并回答问题。
读挪威的森林有感英文版
读挪威的森林有感英文版From An Outsider's Eyes--Impressions of After-reading of Norwegian WoodDue to the love to a boy, I fell in love with a book in my 17.Mixingmy stories and those in the book up and floundering confusedly in the riverof youth, I just want to catch that straw of love. Today, fading greenand coming into the Norwegian Wood again, what I see are the lost youthand the hard growthComing into the world once again, I still appreciate Watanabe and cherish this lonely boy as much as my first reading. His eyes occupiedby loneliness attracted me once more. Watanabe has not youth, or, he doesnot wade the youth river. Wandering aimlessly on the river bank and seeing others struggling in the river, desires to save others rose again and again. But what he finds at last is that: everyone has their own river which othersare excluded from so that his outstretched hand works faintly as a shadow.Even so, Watanabe, on the shore, has accompanied wholehearted with everyone who struggles hard in the river, like Kizuki and Naoko, and inevitable witnesses their drowning.Those people and experience impel Watanabe to strand on the shore. He works, reads, listens to music and winds himself up every day; he managesto fill all the time but away from his own youth with heavy dust. Therefore, Midori-ko just has a feeling –“you always curled up in your own world,but I was pressing 'stuff' knock at your door and calling you. Hence you quietly lift eye lids, but quickly recover”.I can't find out what is the began to his own youth.After reading a letter, from Reiko, tells the Naoko’s illness have reappeared,the castle, built together with Naoko, based on fantasy and vision collapses. He stays in the house lonely for three days, but he eventually determines to be strong - although “even my bravery may not solve everything smoothly”– to wait for Naoko’s rehabilitation.At that moment, Mr. Watanabe has a dialogue with Kizuki who is in another world: "Hello, Kizuki! Different you, I have to pay for my continued existence with according price" .After Kizuki’s death, this is the firsttime for Watanabe to face with him and determined to get out from frozen seventeen.- is this the beginning?After the death of Naoko, Watanabe has wandered out for one month. (Ilike this month of wandering. Maybe one day I'm tired of the life, I willalso take my bags up to stray, go straight and go straight on). He triesto forget the death and sorrow, but doesn't make it. Lately, Reiko leaves nursing home to give him one important advice: “if you have a sense of trauma for Naoko’s death, please to be mature and then be come an adult.”Waving Reiko off, Watanabe calls Midori-ko and tells her: he wants totalk to her anyhow and in the whole world he just wants nothing but her.Getting along with Midori-ko for so long time, this is the first time for Watanabe to realize that love between he and Midori-ko has already grows. It is unfair to hug Midori-ko but across Naoko’s shadow and s o many memories .- is this?Person who is similar to Watanabe, also sees others struggling in the river of youth, is Nagasawa. But Nagasawa’s eye is as cold as a well in the winter. Reading Norwegian Wood entirely, I don't remember where traces of Nagasaw a’s youth are. He never needs to struggle and each goal can be implemented perfectly. He is the only adult in the Norwegian Wood and completed the growth at the very start.Originally, Watanabe stands outside of the youth and stands on the edge of his own life and partners’ deaths.Loneness and helplessness glows in his eyes where is no indifference and no despair. His heart is longing for a warm embrace and the unknown life. So, Watanabe’s eyes are gentle and transparent, like springs in spring. I do believe that he and Midori-ko will get along with much more bravery, and then have a bunch of kids and age slowly.。
七年级下册外研版英语m4范文
七年级下册外研版英语m4范文In the vast ocean of hobbies, there is one that stands out for me above all others: reading. Since my earliest childhood memories, I have been captivated by the magic of words and stories. As I grew older, my love for reading grew deeper, becoming a constant companion on my journey through life.Reading has always been my refuge, a place where I can escape the hustle and bustle of the world and immerse myself in another reality. Whether it's a thrilling adventure story, a profound philosophical work, or a simple tale of everyday life, each book opens a new world for me to explore. The characters and situations within these pages become real to me, and I find myself feeling their emotions, sharing their joys and sorrows.Not only does reading provide me with entertainment and escape, but it also serves as a powerful tool for learning and growth. Through books, I have gained knowledge about history, science, culture, and so much more. I have discovered new perspectives and ways of thinking, challenging my own beliefs and assumptions. Reading hasbroadened my horizons and made me more tolerant and understanding of different viewpoints.One of the most rewarding aspects of reading is the sense of community it brings.

《挪威的森林》原文及英文译文分析
《挪威的森林》原文及英文译文分析作者：吴恒常娜来源：《文学教育·中旬版》2019年第05期内容摘要：本文对《挪威的森林》进行了原文和译文的分析，提出原文的特点是疏离的节奏感，英文译文的特点是轻快的美国精神，并得出译文不是原文附属品的结论。
关键词：《挪威的森林》村上春树译文一.概述《挪威的森林》是村上的第五部长篇小说，完成于1987年4月。
书名取自披头四的一首歌：Norwegian Wood。
这部让村上春树名声大振的小说跟他前面几部长篇有很大不同，里面没有超现实的奇怪人物，也没有怪异离奇的场景和情节。
按村上的话说，这是一个“直截了当表现‘男孩遇到女孩’的故事”。
这部小说之所以成为超级畅销书，可能就像渡边评价初美（书中人物）时所说的，因为它唤起了读者心中“类似一种少年时代的憧憬，一种从来不曾实现而且永远不可能实现的憧憬”吧。
二.原文——疏离的节奏感村上春树是一个受西方文化（特别是美国文化）影响很深的日本作家。
他在谈到自己的写作风格时曾经说：“一开始，我竭力真实地去写，但结果却无法卒读。
于是我就试着用英文重写开头。
我把它翻回日文，再加工一下。
用英文写的话，我的词汇有限，不可能写长句子。
在这种情况下，竟然让我抓到了一种节奏，比较而言词语精炼、句子简洁。
”大部分评论家在说到他的语言风格时，基本上也都是同样的结论：语言简练，明快，有节奏感，不像传统的日本小说。
除了句子简洁明快，节奏干净利落以外，他的书中往往还会出现大量的西方文化符号，包括音乐、文学作品、电影，甚至是饮食习惯。
当然每个符号在具体上下文里有不同的含义，但总体给人的感觉就是一种奇怪的疏离。
他的小说之所以在欧美许多国家也大受欢迎，可能很大程度上是因为他对西方文化的熟稔和自如运用。
但村上春树的国族身份绝对没有丢。
就像《挪》的男主角渡边说自己是“生在普通家庭，长在普通家庭，一张普通的脸，普通的成绩，想普通的事情”的“普通人”时，直子反驳说：“你最喜欢的菲茨杰拉德好像说过这样一句话：将自己说成普通人的人，是不可信任的，对吧？”三.英译本——轻快的美国精神翻译过《奇鸟行状录》、《神的孩子全跳舞》等长篇的杰·鲁宾在《倾听村上春树》一书开篇就提出自己是村上的粉丝，坦言：蠢就蠢吧。

一艘新下水的船只扬帆出港的当儿，多么像一个娇养的少年，给那轻狂的风儿爱抚搂抱！可是等到它回来的时候，船身已遭风日的侵蚀，船帆也变成了百结的破衲，它又多么像一个落魄的浪子，给那轻狂的风儿肆意欺凌！《威尼斯商人》2、望见了海岸才溺死，是死得双倍凄惨；眼前有食物却挨饿，会饿得十倍焦烦；看到了敷伤的膏药，伤口更疼痛不堪；能宽慰悲哀的事物，使悲哀升到顶点。

大学英语快速阅读教程(第一册第六单元)
Book OneUnit SixPassage OneDirections: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Choose the Perfect Christmas TreeHow to pick the perfect specimen and care for it over the holidays?Nothing adds to the excitement of the holiday season like a decorated Christmas tree. And, now that natural trees have been declared the winner in the “which-is-greener” debate, you’ll want one that reflects your own style.Enviro-winnerNatural Christmas trees are more enviro-friendly for several reasons. According to Ross Gough, executive director of the Christmas Tree Farmers of Ontario, “If composted corr ectly, a natural Christmas tree will break down within two years so there is nothing for the landfill. Buying natural also means you’re supporting a local farmer and reducing your carbon footprint.”Back to the basicsNot only will you be doing your bit fo r the environment you’ll also be in vogue. “With the downturn in the economy, people want to keep things simple but beautiful. Nothing looks better or is more authentic than a natural Christmas tree,” says Lena Maher, a Montreal-based eco- decorator and event planner.Choose your typeThere are four basic types of trees sold at farms and nurseries:Scotch pine: Brought over by European settlers, the Scotch pine has been the perennial favourite throughout North America. Its sturdy branches that curve upwards mean this tree can handle plenty of ornaments. Needles are in sharp clusters of two with colours ranging from blue-green to yellow-green. It has decent needle retention, but it requires plenty of pesticides to get a healthy tree, so it’s falling out of favour.Balsam fir: With its dense, dark-green foliage, the balsam is quickly becoming the new darling of natural trees. It’s tall but narrow pyramid shape is topped off with a spire-like tip—perfect for a star. The flat, rounded needles are softer, making it one of the easiest to decorate so you can get the kids to help. It’s also very aromatic, holding its scent and needles for longer than most other trees. An excellent choice if your tree is going to be up longer than three weeks.White spruce: This tree has strong slender branches with dense green to bluish-green foliage. It has a perfect form with a symmetrical, cone-shaped crown and evenly spreading branches. Needles are short, stiff and blunt at the end, so it can be a bit prickly to decorate. It has excellent needle retention, but its one downside is a rather disagreeable odour when the needles are crushed.Fraser fir: Similar in shape to the balsam, the Fraser fir is quickly becoming the designer natural tree. It has a rich, dark green foliage with soft silver undertones. Its upper branches have a gentle upward curve, giving it a pleasing U-shape. It’s pleasant scent and ultra-soft needles with good retention are also a plus. Due to its longer growing cycle, this will be a much more expensivetreeDon’t procrastinateAvoid leaving tree shopping until the last minute. After December 15, the best trees will be gone. “Two weeks before Christmas is the optimum time for picking your tree. Many cut-your-own farms will be running out of stock by then,” say s Gough.Caring for your treeForget the ginger ale, aspirin, sugar water or bleach. A study done by The Natural Christmas Christmas Tree Association proved that plain H20 is the best solution to prolong the life of your tree. “Solutions like sugar water actually create a seal and prevent the cells between the bark and the wood from taking up water and your tree will dry out quicker,” says Gough.Gough’s tree tipsWhen you get the tree home, immediately cut between half an inch to one inch off the bottom.Make sure your stand is big enough for your tree.Water your tree immediately. It’s going to be thirsty, so start off with four litres and keep topping that up.As soon as the needles start of drop, your tree is done. Pack it up and send it out to be recycled. Ask your tree farm for a tree bag. These convenient bags rest underneath the tree so when you are done you simply pull the bag up around the tree and put it outside with no pine needle trails.(694 words) Questions1.Why does Scotch pine fall out of favour?A) It can handle plenty of ornaments.B) Its needles are in sharp clusters of two.C) It has decent needle retention.D) It requires plenty of pesticides to get a healthy tree.2.is an excellent choice if your tree is going to be up longer than three weeks.A)Balsam fir B) White spruce C) Fraser fir D).

If it is true you fill “T” in the parenthesis, ifnot or false fill “F” in parenthesis before the sentence.The Human Brain—New DiscoveriesParts of the BrainMost of us learn basic facts about the human brain in our middle or high school biology cla sses. We study the subcortex, the “old brain”, which is found in the brains of most animals and is responsible for basic functions such as breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. We learn about the neocortex, the “new brain”, which is unique to humans a nd is where complex brain activity takes place. We find that the cerebrum, which is responsible for all active thought, is divided into two parts, or hemispheres. The left hemisphere, generally, manages the right side of the body: it is responsible for logical thinking. The right hemisphere manages the left side of the body: this hemisphere controls emotional, creative, and artistic functions. Recent research is shedding light on creativity, memory, maturity, gender, and the relationship between mind and body.Left Brain/Right Brain: CreativityPsychologists agree that most of us have creative ability that’s greater than what we use in daily life. In other words, we can be more creative than we realize! The problem is that we use mainly one hemisphere of our brain—the left.Memory—True or False?In the 1980s in the United States, there were many cases of adults, who suddenly remembered, with the help of a psychologist, things that had happened to them in childhood. These memories had been repressed—held back—for many years. Some of these newly discovered memories have sent people to prison. As people remember crimes (such as murder or rape) that they saw or experienced as children, the police have re-opened and investigated old criminal cases. In fact, over 700 cases have been filed that are based on these repressed memories.However, studies in the 1990s suggested that many of these might be false memories. It is known that small pieces of a memory (sound, sight, feeling, and so on) are kept in different parts of the brain; the limbic system, in the middle of the brain, pulls these pieces together into one complete memory. But it’s certain that people can “remember” things that have never happened. Most frightening, according to Dr. Michael Nash of the Unive rsity of Tennessee, is that “there may be no structural difference” in the brain between a false memory and a true one.The Teen BrainThe traditional belief was that by the age of 8 to 12, the brain was completely mature. However, very recent studies provide evidence that the brain of a teenager differs from that of both children and adults. According to Jay Giedd of the National Institute of Mental Health, “Maturation does not stop at age 10, but continues into the teen years” and beyond. In fact, Giedd and his colleagues found that the corpus callosum “continues growing into your 20s.” Because, it is believed, the corpus callosum is involved in self-awareness and intelligence, the new studies imply that teens may not be as fully self-aware or as intelligent as they will be later. Other researchers at McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, have found that teenagers are not able (as adults are) to “read” emotions on people’s faces.Differences in Male and Female BrainsWatch a group of children as they play. Yo u’ll probably notice that, the boys and girls play differently, speak differently and are interested in different things. When they grow into men and women, the differences do not disappear. Many scientists are now studying the origins of these gender differences. Some are searching for an explanation in the human brain. Some of their findings are interesting. For example, they’ve found that more men than women are left-handed; this reflects the dominance of the brain’s right hemisphere. By contrast, more w omen listen equally with both ears while men listen mainly with the right ear. Men are better at reading a map without having to rotate it. Women are better at reading the emotions of people in photographs.Wired for Music?It might seem logical to believe that our appreciation of music is learned—that nurture, not nature, determines this. However, it is now clear that nature also plays a role; recent studies indicate that the human brain is “wired” for music. Music might actually improve some forms of intelligence. A 1999 study proves that music can help children do better at math —not, oddly, other subjects, just math.The Mystery of the Mind-Body RelationshipThere is more and more evidence everyday to prove that our minds and bodies are closely connected. Negative emotions, such as loneliness, depression, and helplessness, are believed to cause a higher rate of sickness and death. Similarly, it’s possible that positive thinking can help people remain good physical health or become well faster after an illness. Although some doctors are doubtful about this, most accept the success of new therapies (e.g., relaxation and meditation) that help people with problems such as ulcers, high blood pressure, insomnia (sleeplessness), and migraine headaches.(824 words) True or False( ) 1.

N (for NO) if the statement contradicts theinformation given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not givenin passage three. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the informationgiven in the passage.Feeding a CityNothing to Buy!It snowed all day and all night, for two days and two nights. By the third day there was four feet of snow in the street. Many streets were blocked by the snow. Cars and trucks could not get through. Some food stores weren’t open, and others did not have much food to sell. Only a little canned food was left on the shelves, and a little frozen food in the freezers.The city’s food moves on wheels. If the trucks can’t run, no food reaches the stores. Any time the trucks cannot make deliveries, there is trouble. Soon there is nothing to buy.Today most people live in cities and do not grow their own food. Their food must be bought in stores.Protecting Food from AirThe air contains many living things that can harm our food. Some things, such as insects, can be seen only with a microscope.All living things need water. We can protect some of our food by drying it. Living things can grow only at certain temperatures. We can also protect our food by heating or cooling it.We can keep some living things away from our food by wrapping it.Icebox CarsIn the old days, fresh food had to be eaten in the city no more than one or two days after it left the farm. If kept longer, it would spoil. Food could not be moved very far, so people in one part of the country could not enjoy food grown in other parts.A New York man had an idea. He filled a wooden railroad car with eight tons of butter. The car was hooked to a freight train and pulled from New York to Boston, Massachusetts.How could this be? The butter was packed in ice, and twice during the trip, more ice was added. This was the first “refrigerator” car.Now there are mechanical refrigerator cars. But most refrigerator cars still use ice. Many refrigerator cars have fans that keep the cool air moving through the car. In this his way, all the food stays at the same temperature.This Little Piggy Went to MarketAnimals that will be used for food must travel in special livestock trucks. These trucks do not have solid sides; there are large openings so that the animals can get enough air. The animals must be given water on the trip.These trucks can get very hot on a summer day. If the trip is long, the animals can lose weight. To keep this from happening, the trucks have sprinklers that sprinkle water on the animals to keep them cool.Frozen FoodsSome foods, such as fish, spoil very quickly. This food must be frozen before it is shipped.If fresh food is frozen quickly, its taste is not changed very much. There are factories that freeze fish as soon as it is taken off the fishing boats. It is shipped in refrigerator trucks to the cities.Tanks of MilkFresh milk does not travel far, and it needs very special handling. It is not put into containers on the farms. It is put into huge, refrigerated tank trucks. The tank is made of stainless steel, which is kept very clean.These trucks travel to the bottling plants in the city. There the milk is pasteurized to remove any bacteria before it is put into bottles. It is then sent to the stores in a refrigerator truck.CanningNapoleon knew that his army needed a way to save food. Fresh food could not be prepared every day. He offered a prize to anyone who could find the best way to preserve food for the French army.Nicholas Appert, who lived in Paris, came up with the idea of canning. He used glass bottles with tight corks.Glass bottles broke too easily, so people started using tin cans.Canning, today, is done in factories that are very close to the farms. This way, the food can be done while it is still fresh, and it is cheaper than shipping fresh food all the way to the city. The food in cans has been cooked, and the cans are tightly sealed to keep bacteria out.From Farm to YouFresh, frozen, dried, canned—food comes rushing into the city stores from everywhere. But most stores do not have the space to keep much extra food. So trucks must deliver food to them day after day. Cities are for people. People are the most important part of a city. And people must be fed.(764 words) Questions( ) 1. People in the city can’t buy anything from the food store because of the heavy snow. ( ) 2. Th e city’s food is served by the city people.( ) 3. Bacteria is visible to the naked eye.( ) 4. In the old days, food could not be moved very far, so people in one part of the country could not enjoy food grown in other parts.( ) 5. The first “refrigerator” car was born in 1956.( ) 6. The livestock trucks do not have solid sides.( ) 7. Sweet, ripe strawberries are often transported by air from California to the East Coast on planes.Fill in the blanks8. We can protect some of our food by drying it, or .9. The milk is to remove any bacteria before it is put into bottles.10. came up with the idea of canning.Passage FourDirections: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information givenin the passage.Young blog their way to a publishing revolutionThe extent of the personal publishing revolution has been revealed by a Guardian/ICM poll showing that a third of all young people online have launched (发动，开办) their own blog or website.Millions of young people who have grown up with the internet and mobile phones are no longer content with the one-way traffic of traditional media. They are publishing and collecting their own content, according to the survey of those aged between 14 and 21.A generation has grown up using the internet as its primary means of communication, thanks to an early grasp of online communities and messaging services as well as simple technology allowing web users to launch a personal weblog, or blog, without any specialist technical knowledge. On average, people between 14 and 21 spend almost eight hours a week online, but it is far from a solitary (独自的) activity. There are signs of a significant generation gap, and rather than using the internet as their parents do——as an information source, to shop or to read newspapers online—most young people are using it to communicate with one another.About half of that time is spent chatting to friends in online communities or using messaging services, while another hour is spent emailing. The internet may be a window into their personal field, but it is not a window on the world for young people: only one in 10 say they use it to keep up with news and current affairs.This trend towards online communication has already shown itself among music fans, with enthusiastic new communities forming around the latest bands often before they have even released a single or been heard on the radio. According to the survey, those aged between 14 and 21 download an average of 34 tracks a month from the internet and buy an average of two CDs. Of those with internet access at home, almost eight in 10 have a broadband connection. The explosion in cheaper high-speed internet access, which allows quicker access to music and video files and is typically charged at a flat monthly rate, has led to a sudden increase in the time web users spend online.The media regulator Ofcom said this year that more than 8m households are now connected to broadband. According to the poll, six in 10 young people have internet access at home, with a quarter of those having their own computer in their bedroom. Many more have access at school, college or university. But among those with a web connection at home, 31% said that they had launched their own personal site or blog. Those aged 16 to 17 have taken most eagerly to personal online publishing, with a female bias (趋势，偏爱).Some will have started personal sites with basic personal information or centered around music or sport, while others have become mini publishing magnates（巨头）before leaving school. Earlier this year, the tracking site Technorati revealed that a new blog was created every second.The results also lay bare the confusing pace of change in media consumption among young people and outline the challenge faced by traditional publishers and broadcasters.Rupert Murdoch, who recently spent £332.85m on the youth networking site , issued a “change or die” warning to an audience of US editors earlier this year. Admitting that the media industry had been “remarkably, unaccountably complacent (得意的)”, he described the shift in attitudes as “a revolution in the way young people are accessing news”.“They don’t want to rely on the morning paper for their up-to-date information. They don’t want to rely on a God-like figure from above to tell them wh at’s important. And to carry the religion analogy a bit further, they certainly don’t want news presented as gospel (福音书)”, he said.Only one in 10 said they used the internet to read the news, with most preferring to use it as a means of expression and communication. More than half said they read a newspaper at least once a week, rising to seven in 10 by the age of 21. Their preference, most probably often influenced by their parents’ choice of paper, was for the Sun, followed by the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail. The survey showed 96% of those questioned owned a mobile phone, and two-thirds had a games console.(752words) Questions:1.

挪威的森林英文读后感400字
挪威的森林英文读后感400字挪威的森林英文读后感400字精选篇1《挪威的森林》，一书的译者导语部分写到村上的作品大多都是与寂寞，孤独有关的，他不是注重描写寂寞，不注重营造寂寞的氛围，更多的是一种把玩，体味寂寞，以一种亲身体会的方式让读者有一种对人生，对爱情的寂寞。
而我自己在一书中除了体会到人生的无奈与生命中生与死的传递，男与女的关系等一些新的体会。
文中的渡边君是一个万分纠结的人物，处于木月和直子的第三者，是他们的好朋友。
木月和直子则是青梅竹马。
木月在17岁的时候就自杀死了，木月的死对渡边君的打击实在是太大了，同样直子也是。
直子的确忘不了木月，但是对渡边君也有好感，木月死后两年，直子和渡边在东京读大学相遇，顺其自然的相恋，尔后直子20岁生日之时多年以来的种.种经历终于使直子承受不住，她回到了老家的疗养院。
期间渡边君又遇到了好多个女孩子，其中小林绿子对他的影响最大，一边是直子，一边是绿子，渡边君万分纠结。
期间渡边君去疗养院看过直子两次，认识了直子在疗养院的闺蜜玲子。
最终直子在自己21岁生日的时候结束了自己的生命，渡边君在这个消息的打击下变得厌世，埋怨上天是如此的不公，绿子也因为渡边君对直子念念不忘最终离开了直子。
故事以渡边君最终孑然一身告终。
他的大学同学永泽因为理想玩弄感情，抛弃了他的女朋友初美(特别的气质，说不上漂亮，但是总能让人有一种如沐春风的温暖)随着永泽当了外交官去了德国，初美和别人结婚了(两年后割腕自杀于自己家的浴室)永泽只是表示：自己丢失了什么重要的东西。
正因如此渡边与永泽就此绝交。
永泽这个人是非常铁石心肠的，非常倔强的。
书中与渡边有交集的朋友大多不是悄无声息的离开，或者自杀，或者找寻自己的理想，抛弃一切，或者有着种.种的不幸。
本书让我知道男女之间的的确确可以存在纯洁的友谊的，或许两个人相互了解得很深，外界甚至彼此都认为对方是自己对的人的时候，在确定关系的一瞬间少了一些爱情的冲动，这样的爱，爱不起来，也就谈不上爱了。
Unit 8 Romantic Stories新编高校英语其次版第一册课文翻译
Unit 8 Romantic Stories新编高校英语其次版第一册课文翻译_文档视界Unit 8 Romantic StoriesA True Love Story[1] Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning were both English poets. The story of how they met, fell in love, and married is one of the most famous love stories in history. This love story is famous for its purity, its poetry, and its passion. But most of all, it is famous because their romance took place primarily by mail. For the two years before they married, they wrote to each other almost every day.[2] Elizabeth Barrett lived a quiet life in the house of her father. She rarely left the house because she was very weak and sick with a lung disease. From childhood she spent her time reading, studying Greek, and writing poetry. Her poems were published and became popular both in England and in America. Eli zabeth’s father, Mr. Barrett, supported his daughter’s writing. However, he was very strict and also eccentric--- he refused to let any of his three daughters marry. He wanted them all to stay with him. When Elizabeth was thirty-seven, she still lived with her father and her two unmarried sisters. She hadnever married or even been in love. She lived in a dream world. She knew Robert Browning only by name. However, she read his poetry and admired it greatly. She even put his name in a poem that she wrote.[3] Robert Browning’s childhood was similar to Elizabeth’s. He studied Greek, read a great deal, and wrote poetry at a very young age. As a young adult, he continued to read and write, and struggled to publish his work. By the age of thirty, he was not yet married.[4] One day, Robert was reading some of Elizabeth’s poems. He admired her poetry very much. Suddenly, he saw his name in one of her poems. He was so surprised and pleased that he decided to write her a letter. The year was 1844.[5] With this letter, Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning began a secret correspondence. They wrote to each other almost every day. At first, their letters were formal and impersonal. They discussed poetry and literature. Slowly, the letters became more personal. A friendship developed as they discovered their common interests and ideas. They read and criticized each other’s poetry and began to discuss their friendship. They seemed to be perfectly compatible, both intellectually and spiritually. After one year, Robert wrote to Elizabeth that heloved her. They still had never met each other.[6] Finally, Elizabeth and Robert arranged to meet while Elizabeth’s father was not in the house. They were nervous, and even shocked, to see each other face to face at last. They continued meeting and talking secretly once or twice a week for the next year. They also continued to write each other letters every day. Elizabeth wrote: “…You cannot guess what you are to me---you cannot---it is not possible… it is something to me betweendream and miracle.” Robert answered that he had never kept a journal before, but he had started one now. In it he wrote the date of every visit with her and how long it lasted. He even wrote the number of minutes they had been together and said that they added up to two full days in length.[7] Then, in September, 1846, in a secret marriage ceremony, Elizabeth Barrett became Elizabeth Barrett Browning. A week later, without telling Elizabeth’s father, the happy couple eloped to Italy. The shock was terrible for Mr. Barrett, but his anger could not diminish their happiness. In 1849, they succeeded in having a son. They lived in Italy, extremely happy, for fifteen years, until Elizabeth’s death in 1861.一个真实的爱情故事1 伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃郎宁和罗伯特·勃郎宁都是英国诗人。

LifeontheMississippi《密西西比河上的生活》读书报告summary性质的英文版
LifeontheMississippi《密西西比河上的生活》读书报告summary性质的英文版Student Number:Class:Name:Instructor: Prof. WangAssignment: Book ReportDate: 2010-12-19A Book Report on Life on the MississippiThe book Life on the Mississippi is written by Mark Twain, a great American author and humorist. In this book, he describes in detail his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before and after the American Civil War. All contents of the book come from his own life experiences, which at the same time makes it convincing and interesting to read. It contains lots of information of American society at that time period and knowledge of navigation.The book is made up of two sections. For the two sections, he mainly has two lines: the change of life of American people before and after the American Civil War and different develop stages of the steamboat enterprise.In the first section, Mark Twain mainly tells readers some information of the river and his early life as a steamboat pilot. He beginsthe book with a brief history of the Mississippi River and the importance role it plays in American people’s life. He further informs us that the river is different from other rivers and how trades along the river develop with the development of steamboat enterprise. Then he describes his “permanentambition” [4] of becoming a steamboat man when he was a small boy. In chapter 4, he informs us the significant effect of a steamboat on the life and people of the e ntire town. “Once a day a cheap, gaudy packet arrived upward from St. Louis, and another downward from Keokuk. Before these events, the day was glorious with expectancy; after them, the day was a dead and empty thing.”[4] He leaves home for the dream and b ecomes a cub-pilot. The following parts consist of his growing to a qualified steamboat pilot, in which, there are so many exciting anecdotes of people he meets during his time on ship. Of course, on his way of success, he comes across numerous obstacles, which teaches him to be patient and perseverant. He also meets people who help him a lot. For example, his first “teacher” Horace Bixby, who teaches him how to navigate the treacherous river. It is really a torture for him to remember names of all those “islands, towns, bars, ‘points,’ and bends; and a curiously inanimate”[8]，but at last he conquers all the difficulties and gets his own license. Then he starts to pilot on his own, experiencing many adventures and meeting many interesting people (the anecdot es I’ve mentioned above). His description of steamboat men’scommunications is the most vivid and impressive. They talk as what they really want. Their words are very typical—they say some dirty words and are good at boasting. His extraordinary descriptions of navigation give us a chance to get a glimpse of it and know some basic knowledge of it as well. He states that navigation requires lots of practical techniques and careful observations. To be a good pilot, he must have an extraordinary memory and use them naturally whenever it’s necessary. A pi lot should be brave, but never be a “coward”. [13] Pilots tendto “put all their wishes in the form of commands”. [14] Then he becomes a qualified pilot. At this moment the pilots’ association comes into being, which changes their life greatly. The racing gradually begins, which improve the efficiency of trading much. In the 17th chapter, he describes one of the Mississippi’s “oddest peculiarities”—shortening of its length, [17] which causes the problem of cut-offs of the river and people’s migrants. His ca reer ends because of the Civil War. By chance he will pilot the last steamboat from New Orleans to St. Louis. Afterwards, it's used by the Union Army to transport troops. He feels sad a little but he has to leave.In the first section, the steamboat enterprise develops fast and is of significance. However, many things have changed after the American Civil War. In the second part of the book, Twain describes a trip he takes back to the Mississippi in 1882. Boarding in St. Louis, he takes steamships down to New Orleans and then all the way back up the riverto Minnesota. This is the most interesting part of the book because it includes a fair amount of commentary about life in America after the Civil War, reflecting on the differences between the North and the South. Lots of things have changed along the Mississippi river after so many years. In this section, Twain tells us those interesting stories as a passenger but not a steamboat man. He has different memories of places he meets along the river. On the steamboat, many changes have taken place. For example, all the workers on a ship have their own uniforms. This makes Twain really astonished. He believes “the greatly improved aspect of the boat’s staff is another advantage achieved by the dress-reform period.”[25]. Among those stories, I am impressed by many. For instance, story of “the thumb print”[31] is as wonderful as any detective story. When I am reading this part, I feel that I myself am together in every scene, worrying and dreading with the characters. These kinds of stories of him are really attractive and it’s a pleasure to read and enjoy. When he arrives at different places, he experiences different cultures, sights and stories of different people. He tells us the features of the South language and assimilates it to beautiful songs. [44] In chapter45, he shows us different attitudes of people in the North and South toward wars. In the North, people hate wars; but in the South, people all have passions whenever hearing topics relate to wars because most of them have experienced or seen wars before. Twain also introduces southernsports to us—cock-fight, mule races, and steamboat races and so on. They are all highlights. In the 47th chapter, Twain informs us that out of every five of the former pilots become farmers because it’s easy for them to achieve what they desire for the rest of their life—“retired and peaceful life”[49]. In the end parts, when he travels to the place where he spent his boyhood, his feeling is complex. What he could see is not what presented before him, but what they were many years ago. This brings him back to his boyhood and reminds him of a playmate- Lem Hackett’s death and his tortures as well as his confess. Twain brings the book to an end with “A legend of white-bear Lake”. But between the lines, I see that he is still on his travelling and reluctant to say goodbye.Mark Twain once said that life on the Mississippi was the most unforgettable time in all his life. In this book, Twain stands on the point of view of an ordinary person, but not from a great man’s view. I believe what makes him extraordinary is that he has the courage to say them out and expresses in such awonderful way. This also makes it more readable and convincing. Readers are easy to have common feelings with the author. Besides, lots of descriptions in the book have something more or less in common with China. Many cities grow in a rapid way, which brings lots of problems as well. So when we are reading, we may ha ve the feeling that it’s something happens ar ound us. And I think the decline of steamboat enterprise has similarities to the decline and reduce of Chinesehandicrafts. With time going on, the new things will surely replace what once were new. After reading the book Life on the Mississippi, I know America more, know Mark Twain more, and know myself more.。
unit six A woman can learn anything a man can全新版大学英语(第二版)
Friedan completed more studies. She talked to other women across the country. She met with experts about the questions and answers. She combined this research with observations and examples from her own life. The result was her book, The Feminine Mystique, published in nineteen sixty-three. The book attacked the popular idea of the time that women could only find satisfaction through being married, having children and taking care of their home. Friedan believed that women wanted more from life than just to please their husbands and children. The book said women suffered from feelings of lack of worth. Friedan said this was because the women depended on their husbands for economic, emotional and intellectual support. The Feminine Mystique was a huge success. It has sold more than three million copies. It was reprinted in a number of other languages. The book helped change the lives of women in America. More women began working outside the home. More women also began studying traditionally male subjects like law, medicine and engineering.
