现代大学英语精读2第二版课文翻译UNIT1 又一学年——为了什么？约翰·切阿迪1.给你们讲讲我刚当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。

那是1940年的1月，我从研究生院毕业不久，在堪萨斯城大学开始第一学期的教学工作。

一个瘦高，长得就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂，坐下，双臂交叉放在胸前，看着我，好像在说：“好吧，教我一些东西。

”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。

三周后他双手叉腰走进我的办公室，“看，”他说，“我来这是学习当药剂师的。

我为什么必须读这个？”由于没有随身带着自己的书，他就指着桌子上放着的我的那本。

2.虽然我是位新老师，我本来可以告诉这个家伙许多事情的。

我本来可以指出，他考入的不是制药技工培训学校而是大学，而且他在毕业时，应该得到一张写有理学学士而不是“合格的磨药工”的学位证书。

这证书会证明他专修过药剂学，但它还能进一步证明他曾经接触过一些人类发展史上产生的思想。

换句话说，他上的不是技能培训学校而是大学，在大学里学生既要得到培训又要接受教育。

3.我本来可以把这些话都告诉他，但是很明显，他不会待很长时间，说了也没用。

4.但是，由于我当时很年轻而且责任感也很强，我尽量把我的意思这样表达出来：“在你的余生中，”我说，“平均每天24小时左右。

谈恋爱时，你会觉得它有点短；失恋时，你会觉得它有点长。

但平均每天24小时会保持不变。

在其余的大约8个小时的时间里，你会处于睡眠状态。

5.“然后在每个工作日8个小时左右的时间里，我希望你会忙于一些有用的事情。

假设你毕业于一所药科大学——或工程大学，法学院，或者其他什么大学——在那8个小时时间里，你将用到你的专业技能。

作为一个药剂师，你要确保氯化物没有和阿斯匹林混在一起；作为一个工程师，你要确保一切都在你的掌控之中；作为一个律师，你要保证你的当事人没有因为你的无能而被处以电刑。

这些都是有用的工作，它们涉及到的技能每个人都必须尊重，而且它们都能给你带来基本的满足。

但是我们永远不能变得狂妄,不然我们就会失去我们的朋友。

一个普通的电脑就能储存一个普通图书馆的信息。

精读21.在不带现金的旅途中，人们对他的态度使作者深信；人们依然可以依靠陌生人（的帮助）。

The way people helped him during his joureny when he had no money convined the writer that people can still depend on stranger.2.随着时间的推移，我们不可避免地会越来越多地卷入国际事务。

而冲突必然会发生，因为国家之间总有不同的观点和利益。

As time going on we are inevitably going to get more involve in international affairs. And conflicts are sure to occur because there always exist different views and interests among nations.3. 健康保健必须为所有公民所享受，不管他们有什麽不同。

我们没有理由支持那些不为生活在农村的大量人口所享有的政策。

Health care must be available to all citizens regardless of their differences. We cannot justify a policy that denies medical care to the large population living in the countryside.4.我住在我叔叔家农场的时候常常出洋相。

比如要我在稻田除草的时候，我常常分不清草和秧苗。

I often made a fool of myself when I was living with my uncle on his farms. Whenasked to get rid of the weeds in the rice fields, foe example, I often failed to tell apart the weeds and the rice seedling.5. 稻子需要大量的水，很多科学家警告我们，不管我们如何节约用水，总有一天我们会为有限的水资源打仗。

Give absolute power to any individual or any par cular group of people, and that person or group is sure to abuse that power because, just as Lord Acton says, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
5. Somehow this tune sounds very familiar, but I can't recall what it is. In any case, it is a Russian folk song.
6. Besides the usual weekend housework, I also have a whole pile of homework to do tomorrow. It's really terrible.

现代大学英语精读Lesson2B

现代大学英语精读Lesson2B课文原文A Homecoming of a Different Sort ---Vicki ViebruggeJeff and I had many conversations during the year, but I will always remember the time he told me about his family. His mother, a loving, caring woman, was the one who held the family together. She died shortly before Jeff graduated from high school. His father, a successful physician, cold and stern in Jeff's words, had firm beliefs that a person would never make a valuablecontribution to the world unless they attended and graduated from college by the age of twenty-three. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated, and had offered to pay Jeff's entire tuition and living expenses. As an active Alumni Association member, he was excited that his son would someday follow in his footsteps.Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a Fortune 500 company—without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school he decided to decline his father' s offer and instead move to Colorado to work with a ski patrol. With pain in his eyes Jeff told me that he still remembered the day he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort. He remembered every word of the short conversation. He told his father of his passion for skiing and for the mountains and then of his plans. His father looked off into the distance; his face became red. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff's mind: "You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work on a ski patrol and not attend college. I should have known you'd never amount to anything. Don't come back in this house until you have enough self-respect to use the brains God gave you and go to school!" The two had not spoken sincethat conversation.Jeff was not even sure that his father knew he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. He said it over and over again.Janice, Jeff's sister, had always remained supportive of Jeff's decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him.Jeff's graduation ceremony that year was on a hot, sunny day in June. As I walked around talking to people before the ceremony, I noticed a man with a confused expression on his face."Excuse me, " he said as he politely approached me. "What is happening here today?""It's graduation day, " I replied, smiling."Well that's odd," he said, "my daughter asked me to meet her atthis address." His eyes sparkled and he smiled. "Maybe she completed her associate' s degree and wanted to surprise me!"I helped him find a seat and as he left me he said, "Thank you for helping me. By the way, my name's Dr. Holstrom."I froze for a second. Jeff Holstrom. Dr. Holstrom. Could this be the same person I had heard about over the last year? The cold, stern man who demanded his son attend college or never enter his home again?Soon the familiar music could be heard. I turned around in my chair to get a glimpse of Dr. Holstrom. He seemed to be looking for his daughter amongst the graduates on stage. Speeches were given, the graduates were congratulated, and the dean began to read the names of the graduates.Jeff was the last person to cross the stage. I heard his namebeing announced "Jeff Holstrom." He crossed the stage, received his diploma from the college president, and, just as he started down the stairs from the stage, he turned toward the audience looking for his sister.A lone figure stood up in the back of the audience—Dr. Holstrom. I'm not sure how Jeff even saw him in the crowd, but I could tell that their eyes met. Dr. Holstrom opened his arms, as if to embrace the air around him. He bowed his head, almost as if to apologize. For a moment it seemed as if time stood still, and as if they were the only two in the auditorium. Jeff came down the stairs with tears in his eyes."My father is here, " he whispered to me. I smiled."What are you going to do?" I asked him."Well, " he said, "I think I'm going home."参考译文别样的回家那年杰夫我俩有过多次谈话，但我始终记得那次，他跟我谈起他的家庭。

I. On the Origin of Racism
Debates over the origins of racism often suffer from a lack of _c_la_r_it_y over the term. Many mix recent forms of racism with earlier forms of ethnic and national conflict. In most cases ethno-national conflict seems to _o_w_e_ to conflict over land and strategic resources. In some cases ethnicity and nationalism were _h_ar_n_e_s_s_e_d to wars between great religious empires (for example, the Muslim Turks and the Catholic Austro-Hungarians). As Benedict Anderson has suggested ethnic _id_e_n_t_it_y and ethno-nationalism became a source of conflict within such empires with the rise of print-capitalism.

I had just completed my graduate studies and began teaching at the University of Kansas City. goto 2 to have just come from a particular place, to have just had a particular experience, e.g. students fresh from college I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics school, but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science. (Para. 2) Subjunctive mood: I didn't point it out in fact. go to 3 I could have told him that he was now not getting training for a job in a technical school but doing a B.Sc. at a university. to intend to do sth. to indicate, register, or show Here the word education is used in a broad sense, which involves not only the process of acquiring knowledge and developing skills, but also that of improving the mind. go to 4 That is to say, he had not entered a technical training school but a university and in universities students enroll for both training and education. (Para. 2) What is the difference between training and education, according to the writer? Training is preparation for a job, or a career, such as the training in a certain skill. Education, on the other hand, is learning to develop one's mental and moral powers. "For the rest of your life," I said, "your days are going to average out to about twenty-four hours."

(Para. 5) Inverted sentence, used in a blessing. e.g. May they live long! go to 9 "I hope you make a lot of it, " I told him, "because you're going to be badly stuck for something to do when you're not signing checks." (Para. 8) Notice the sarcastic tone of the writer. If you don't have any goal in life apart from making money to satisfy your desire for material riches, go ahead and make a lot of it. not to know what to do in a particular situation More examples: You've no business telling me what to do. She has no business reading your mail. go to 10 If you have no time for Shakespeare, for a basic look at philosophy, for the continuity of the fine arts, for that lesson of man's development we call history-then you have no business being in college. (Para. 9) to have no right to do sth., shouldn't have been/be doing sth. If you are too anxious to make money, too ignorant to see your limitations, then you couldn't regard those great people's minds as a gift to your humanity, and thus you can't be a developed human. go to 11 If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Aristotle, or Chaucer, or Einstein, you are neither a developed human nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 12) "too... to..."structure object of the verb "accept" ... when I say that a university has no real existence and no real purpose except as it succeeds in putting you in touch, both as specialists and as humans, with those human minds your human mind needs to include. (Para. 14) "except" used as a conjunctive, introducing an adverbial clause The end of Sentence Paraphrase. both as specialists and as humans: as persons who have specialized and are trained in a certain subject or skill and as civilized creatures and thinking animals Lesson 2 11 Not that we didn't have our troubles. (Para. 5) When I say the year I got Maheegun was the happiest year of my life, I don't mean that Maheegun never caused troubles. although it is not true that... e.g. She loved music but seldom went to concerts-not that she couldn't afford to. To be continued on the next page. Maheegun would poke his head around the corner, waiting for things to quiet down.

When God made human beings, he made a man called Adam out of the earth, and then made a woman called Eve out of Adam's ribs (one of the curved bones that surround your chest).

(Para. 25) I knew that it was dangerous to move on in the blinding snow, and that the only thing to do was to stay where I was and get some sleep during the night and hope that I would find the snowstorm had stopped the next morning. 88 Subjunctive mood is used here because the storm didn't stop the next day. To be continued on the next page. 99 The light of another day still saw no end to the storm. I began to get confused. I couldn't recall whether it had been storming for three or four days. (Para. 26) to be the time when/the place where an event happens; to witness When the first gray light of another day came, the storm was going on. I found myself unable to think clearly.

(Para. 1) In this country, there are already 2.4 million people who are receiving punishment in one form or another; 412,000 of them are serving their prison terms. a euphemism, meaning being disciplined, or being made to improve one's behavior under the charge of the community, etc. as a punishment To be continued on the next page. 11 Cultural note: In the U.S., besides imprisonment, there are other forms of punishment. For example, young people who break the law can be put into a reform school where they receive training. Or they might be required to do community service work for a fixed number of hours. go to 2 22 Countries like Saudi Arabia can afford to give out harsh punishments precisely because they have so little crime. (Para. 2) go to 3 Cultural note: In some Islamic countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Yemen, severe punishment is enforced on crimes of any kind. For example, murderers are invariably put to death, and pickpockets, thieves and robbers are often punished, by having their hands cut off. 33 But can we afford to cut off the hands of those who committed more than 35 million property crimes each year? Can we send them to prison? Can we execute more than 22,000 murderers? (Para. 2) But can we cut off the hands of those who committed more than 35 million crimes of stealing, mugging or robbery each year? Can we put all of them into prison? Can we put to death the more than 22,000 murderers each year? Can we do all that without arousing cries of protests? rhetorical questions, and use of repetition To be continued on the next page. 33 go to 4 Cultural note: In the U.S., even when the suspect involved in a murder case is caught, he is more often than not found innocent because the accused is held "innocent until proven guilty" and is convicted "beyond reasonable doubt", and it is not so easy to find evidence about which no reasonable doubt can be raised. 无罪推定,排除合理疑点后才能判罪Note the irony in comparing university enrollment and imprisonment. 44 Just as the decline in the number of high- school graduates has made it easier to gain admission to the college of one's choice, the gradual increase in the criminal population has made it more difficult to get into prison. (Para. 4) The increasing number of crimes has made it more difficult to get criminals into prison while the decreasing number of high-school graduates has made it easier to be admitted into the college of a person's choice. go to 5 Note the sarcasm in this remark. 55 While elite colleges and universities still have high standards of admissions, some of the most "exclusive" prisons now require about five prior serious crimes before an inmate is accepted into their correctional program. (Para. 4) There is a similarity between prisons and universities in their recruiting policy. You've got to be outstanding candidates to get into the best colleges and universities. Similarly, certain prisons for dangerous criminals only accept those who have committed five serious crimes before being convicted for the present one. go to 6 66 Our current crop of prisoners is an elite group, on the whole much more serious offenders than those who were once imprisoned in Alcatraz. (Para. 4) Our present imprisoned criminal populationis indeed composed of first-rate criminals. On the whole, they are much more seriouslaw-breakers than those who were put in a prison for the dangerous criminals of the country in the thirty years between the early 1930s and early 1960s. go to 7 here used ironically 77 The police can't find most criminals and those they do find are difficult and costly to convict. (Para. 5) First, the police force is unable to find most criminals. Second, it is difficult to prosecute those they have found, try them and finally get a court to declare them guilty, and it costs a lot of money to do so, too. To be continued on the next page. 77 Cultural note: According to the judicial system of the U.S., a criminal is tried by a jury who reaches a verdict of innocent or guilty. The accused is to be found guilty "beyond reasonable doubt". This makes it difficult to convict a criminal, for his lawyers can always raise a reasonable doubt concerning the evidence, the testimony or the reliability of the witnesses. Also, collecting evidence and having a trial cost a lot of money. Sometimes a trial might last months, or even years as the nine- month trial of O. J. Simpson, famous American football player and actor, who was charged with murdering his former wife and her boy friend, but eventually declared innocent. go to 8 88 Yet when measured against the lower crime rates this would probably produce, longer prison sentences are not worth the cost to state and local governments. (Para. 7) If criminals were kept longer in prison, crime rates would probably go down. But when we consider the money that state and local governments have to pay for this, longer prison sentences are not worthwhile. compared with go to 9 keeping them locked up for longer periods of time 99 Even if released prisoners commit an average of two crimes each, this would amount to only 15,000 crimes prevented: a drop in the bucket when measured against the 41 million crimes committed each year. (Para. 8) go to 10 an amount of sth., that is too small or unimportant to make any real difference 杯水车薪,小巫见大巫 e.g. What we have raised is just a drop in the bucket. The project will need far more. 10 10 Thefirst-year operating cost would be $150,000 per crime prevented, worth it if the victim were you or me, but much too expensive to be feasible as a national policy. (Para. 9) $150,000 would be worth it if there were only one person's life, such as yours or mine, to save, but such a policy would be much too expensive to carry out nationwide. go to 11 11 11 This essay, one of the series discussing crime and punishment, begins and ends with the same statement: dealing with crime severely won't work. an item that forms part of a book, magazine, broadcast, discussion, etc. My contribution to the public debate begins and ends with this simple observation: getting tough with criminals is not the answer. (Para. 10) The end of Sentence Paraphrase. a remark, or statement Lesson 5 All the things considered, he thought it was a bad idea. (Para. 2) absolute construction go to 2 Sometimes his wife got this look where she pinched her brows together and bit her lower lip. (Para. 4) "Where" is used to indicate a relative clause. It can be used after words referring to an aspect of a situation, or a stage in sth. He squeezed to see how deep the wound was. (Para. 18) Noun clause introduced by "how" functions as the object of "see". go to 3 Pun: "Wound" refers to both the cut and injury to feelings. "Yes, different," he snapped, angry with her resorting to this trick of repeating his words so that they sounded hypocritical.
