"Brilliant book!"
At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father's old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead. After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first class honors degree in Natural Science.
“As I read his ideas about space, time, black holes, and the Universe in which we live, I was amazed at how easily he explained the exciting but often complicated subjects explored in the book. I loved how he brought such inspiring theories to the public with a unique wit and insight, making previously baffling concepts fun.”

现代大学英语精读1-UNIT9-After-Twenty-Years--课文翻译
2014101018第九单元Translation of Text A二十年后1正在巡逻的警察精神抖擞的沿着大街走着。
他这样引人注目并不奇怪，并不是为了招摇，因为此时大街上根本没有什么观众。
时间还不到晚上十点钟，但夹带着雨意的冷风几乎清空了整个街道。
2警察边走边检查门是否关好了，他十分灵巧的不停转动着警棍，眼光还不时头像平静的街道，他那魁梧的身材，配上卓越不凡的气势，就是一副治安维持者的形象。
那个地区的人晚上休息的很早。
你偶尔还能看到一家雪茄店或是昼夜营业的饭店还在亮着灯，但是觉得大多数的店铺都已经关门了。
3在一个街区的半路上，警察忽然放慢了脚步。
在一家已经关门的五金店的门廊里，一个男子倚在那里，嘴里叼着一只未点燃的雪茄。
当警察朝他走去时，男人赶忙毫不犹豫的说。
4“没事的，长官。
”他坦然的说。
“我只是在等一个朋友，这是二十年前就定好的约会，听起来有点荒唐。
是吧？哦，如果你想弄明白事情的真相，我就说个你听。
大约二十年前，在这家五金商店说在的位置曾经是一家餐馆——“大乔”布雷迪餐馆。
”5“那家餐馆五年前还在，”警察说道，“后来就被拆除了。
”6门廊里的人划着火柴，点着了烟。
火光映出了一张苍白的，方正下巴的脸，一双尖锐的眼睛，右边眉毛附近还有一道泛白的疤痕。
他的领带夹上镶着一颗大钻石，镶的十分奇怪。
7“二十年前的这个晚上，”男子说，“我和吉米-威尔斯在大乔布雷迪餐馆共进晚餐，他是我最好的朋友，也是世界上最好的人。
我和他一起在纽约长大，亲如手足。
当年，我18岁，吉米20岁。
第二天早晨，我就要动身去西部赚钱去了。
吉米是无论如何也不会离开纽约的，他认为这是世界上最好的地方。
那天晚上我们定好，就在20年后的同一天，同一时间，我们都要在这里碰面，不管我们的情况如何，也不管我们相隔多远。
我们觉得不管怎么样，20年后的我们命运也应该有一个好结果了，该发财的也已经发财了。
8“挺起来有点意思，”警察说道。
“尽管在我看来，你们俩见面的时间间隔长了点，自从你离开后，你和你的朋友还有联系吗？”9“哦，有的，有一段时间我们相互通信。

Background
Author
The O. Henry Ending
• O. Henry's most famous stories make simple yet effective use of paradoxical coincidences to produce ironic endings. For example, in “The Gift of the Magi” a husband sells his watch to buy his wife a Christmas present of a pair of hair combs; unknown to him, she cuts and sells her long hair to buy him a Christmas present of a new chain for his watch. His style of storytelling became a model not only for short fiction, but also for American motion pictures and television programs. This kind of ending to a story is called an ironic ending, a surprise ending, or an O. Henry ending.

I didn’t know whether t o kiss them or scold them for stopping.

He says so to emphasize both the kindness and courage the ladies showed in that particular situation.)7. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. (Para. 9) Paraphrase:(Because he had to. Otherwise he would not be able to stop right before the author. It shows the mental struggle that was probably going on in the driver’s mind. He was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker, which made it more difficult for him to make such a decision at the moment than others. However, he chose to stop finally and his kindness was thereby highlighted.)8. Those who had the least to give often gave the most.Paraphrase:Poor people are often more generous. They are often ready/willing to give comparatively more of what they have to those in need than rich people.9. Now we’re talking, I thought.Paraphrase:Now he knew what I wanted and the talk was going in the right direction.10. “When we do, ” he said, “it’s usually kin.” (Para. 13)Paraphrase:(The local people do not usually entertain/receive guests at home.)

Paraphrase:(It means the fact that there are people who are indifferent to other people’s needs/ who refuse to help others/who may hesitate to help and people may say about lack of compassion in our society and a generally moral decay in our society. I find, however, on the whole you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.)Unit 91. The impressiveness was normal and not for show, for spectators were few. (para. 1)Paraphrase:The police officer walked that way habitually, not to attract attention or admiration because there were few people in the streets to be impressed. The description shows that the policeman quite enjoyed his work.2. Trying doors as he went, swinging his club with many clever movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye down the peaceful street, the officer, with his strongly built form and slight air of superiority, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. (para. 2)Paraphrase:From how he looked and what he did on the beat, we can see that the policeman was competent at, confident of, proud of, and dutiful to his job. All these factors gave people the impression that he was a trustworthy protector of the peace.

(para. 2)Paraphrase:People in that area closed their stores pretty early.4. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune.

But after a year or two we lost track of each other. (para. 9)Paraphrase:We wrote letters and kept in touch with each other for a year or two, and then we stopped writing and haven’t heard from or heard of each other. Now neithe r of usknows what has happened or is happening to the other.7. You see, the West is a pretty big place, and I kept running around over it pretty lively. (para. 9)Paraphrase:I kept moving around in the West, never staying in the same place for long. (And that’s why it was hard for us to keep track of each other.)8. …and it’s worth it if my old partner turns up. (para. 9)Paraphrase:If my old friend comes to meet me as he promised, I would think my trouble of travelling so far is fairly rewarded.9. He was a kind of slow man, though, good fellow as he was. (para. 13) Paraphrase:However, he wasn’t very smart, even thought he was a good person.10. I’ve had to compete with some of the sharpest brains going to get my money. (para. 13 )Paraphrase:In order to make money, I had to compete with the most shrewd and crafty people.11. A man gets stuck in New York. It takes the West to make a man really keen. (para. 13)Paraphrase:A man is unable to go very far or to be very successful in New York where life is boring and opportunities for change are few. He has to go to the West to become an eager and exciting person.The man from the west means that New York City was “civilized”; it had too many laws, and that getting rich quickly was less likely.

Note that probably the plainclothes policeman was thinking: I’ll take you to the police station and you will tell me about the crimes you committed in the past.18. At the corner stood a drugstore brilliant with electric lights. (para. 28) Paraphrase:There was a drugstore at the corner. Its electric lights were on and it was very bright inside.19.

(para. 33)Paraphrase:For some reason I couldn’t arrest you myself, so I had a policeman not wearing a uniform do it.Jimmy had mixed feelings. He knew what his duty was. But the memories of their friendship, the expressions of Bob’s undy ing respect and admiration for him and the fact that Bob had come all the way from a thousand miles away just to keep the appointment made 20 years before must have deeply touched him. Therefore, he could not bring himself to arrest Bob.Unit 101. The end of manual labor was liberating. (1)Paraphrase:Mandela is talking about forced labor.

大学英语精读第一册Unit9：TheBrain
Unit Nine：The BrainThroughout the ages different ideas have been expressed about the working of the human brain. It is only recently, however, that science has begun to give us some idea of how the brain really works.The BrainThe Most PowerfulComputer in the UniverseMan still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body -- the brain.In ancient times men did not think that the brain was the centre of mental activity. Aristotle the philosopher of ancient Greece thought that the mind was based in the heart. It was not until the 18th century that man realised that the whole of the brain was involved in the workings of the mind.During the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain were damaged men lost the ability to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain controlled a different activity. But modern research has found that this is not so. It is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past 50 years there has been a great increase in the amount of research being done on the brain. Chemists and biologists have found that the way the brain works is far more complicated that they had thought. In fact many people believe that we are only now really starting to learn the truth about how the human brain works. The more scientists find out, the more questions they are unable to answer. For instance, chemists have found that over 100,000 chemical reactions take place in the brain every second. Mathematicians who have tried to use computers to copy the way the brain works have found that even using the latest electronic equipment they would have to build a computer which weighed over 10,000 kilos. Some recent research also suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to recall this information, but it is all stored in our brains.Scientists hope that if we can discover how the brain works, the better use we will be able to put it to. For example, how do we learn language? Man differs most from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use language but we still do not know exactly how this is dine. Some children learn to speak and read and write when they are very young compared to average children. But scientists are not sure why this happens. They are trying to find out whether there is something about the way we teach language to children which in fact prevents children from learning sooner.Earlier scientists thought that during a man's lifetime the power of his brain decreased. But it is now thought that this is not so. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power. It has been found that an old person who has always been mentally active has a quicker mind than a young person who has done only physical work. It is now thought that the more work we give our brains, the more work they are able to do.Other people now believe that we use only 1% of our brains' full potential. They say that the only limit on the power of the brain is the limit of what we think is possible. This is probably because of the way we are taught as children. When we first start learning to use our minds we are told what to do, for example, to remember certain facts, but we are not taught how our memory works and how to make that best use of it. We are told to make noted hut we are not taught how our brains accept information and which is the best way to organise the information we want our brains to accept.This century man has made many discoveries about the universe -- the world outside himself. But he has also started to look into the workings of that other universe which is inside himself -- the human brain.computern. machine that stores information and works out answers 计算机universen. 宇宙complexa. difficult to understand or explain 错综复杂的，难懂的ancienta. in or of times long ago 古代的；古⽼的philosophern. 哲学家philosophyn. 哲学involvevt. cause to become connected or concerned 使卷⼊workingn.

Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.

课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4“我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。
笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。
接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪，快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。

The American West
The Wild West:
the land of opportunities and adventures, where many European settlers moved during the 19th century to establish new farms and new cities. In films it is often shown as a place where cowboys and Native Americans fight each other, and where cowboys use guns rather than law to settle arguments. Therefore, a situation where there are no laws or controls is sometimes described as being like the Wild West.

I had some very good friends who stood by me, and stilldo. But my acquaintances vanished, taking the girls with them.32What had happened to Ruth and me now happened again.

At that time, she had the complex thoughts of a woman at the first crucial moment of her marriage. She was filled with joy and anxiety and was bothered by many thoughts.玛丽用她精明的女性的思维,思考着一个女人在新婚生活中所得到的快乐和生活中的琐事;4.Martin fell over a basket in the half-darkness of the barn, he swore and said that aman would be better off dead than (4)It would be better for him to die than tripped over a basket.马丁再昏暗的谷仓中被一只篮子绊倒了;5.And somehow, as they embraced,all their irritation and sleepiness left them. Andthey stood there embracing until at last Martin pushed her from him with pretended roughness and said:“Come, come, girl, it will be sunset before we begin at this rate.”4All the anger, unhappiness and drowsiness melted away with their hug. They remained in each others arms until finally Martin pushed her away, with pretended roughness.他们就这样拥抱着,直到最后马丁推开了玛丽,并假装强硬的说道：“来吧,快点,姑娘,再这样下去当我们开始时太阳都要下山了;”6....as they walked silently...through the little hamlet, there was not a soul about.5 When they walked silently through the small village, they saw not a single person around.当他们穿着生皮鞋穿过小村庄时,那还没有其他人;7.And they both looked back at the little cluster of cabins that was the center of theirworld, with throbbing hearts. For the joy of spring had now taken complete hold of them.5他们带着悸动的心跳同时回头看看村庄中相似的小屋,那就是他们生活的世界的中心;春播的喜悦已经紧紧地包裹住了他们;8.Suppose anybody saw us like this in the field of our spring sowing, what would theytake us for but a pair of useless, soft, empty-headed people that would be sure to die of hunger12If people should see us like this with your arm around my waist, what would they think of us They were sure to regard us as a pair of good-for-nothings, people who are unable to endure hardships and foolish and, therefore, were sure to die of hunger.“想想如果有人看到我们在春播的土地上这样,他们只会把我们当成一对没用、软弱、没脑子的会被饿死的傻瓜,呼”9.She became suddenly afraid of that pitiless, cruel earth, the peasant’s slave master,which would keep her chained to hard work and poverty all her life until she would sink again into its bosom.13She became afraid of the earth because it was going to force her to work like a slave and force her to struggle against poverty all her life until she died and was buried in it.10.It overpowered that other feeling of dread that had been with her during themorning.17But when she sat and looked around the village, the fields and the people, a strange feeling of happiness arose in her.

This shows that our beliefs are largely influenced by surroundings. 不过,如果在婴儿时期把最虔诚的罗马天主教徒和长老会教义信徒予以交换,然后使他们在相反的家庭与影响下长大,所能得出的结果是毋庸置疑的;3.It is consistent with all our knowledge of psychology to conclude that each wouldhave grown up holding exactly the opposite beliefs to those he holds now (3)我们可以根据所掌握的心理学知识得出结论,两人长大后会持有与现在恰好相反的观点……4.Of course we do not cease, when we cease to be children, to adopt new reliefs onmere suggestion.4Of course it does not mean that when we grow up we no longer have these mistaken beliefs.

But, as a rule, the person concerned is about the last person in the world to be able to recognize this in himself.14Peoples who hold those beliefs through self-interest usually will not admit this. They usually try to cloak themselves with beautiful altruistic words.我们之所以接受并且坚持某些观点的原因是——或者部分原因是——这样做对我们“有好处”;9.There is many a man who is unconsciously compelled to cling to a belief because heis a “somebody”in some circle—and if he were to abandon that belief, he would find himself nobody at all.15Many people are forced to hold a belief because he has become an important person in his group. If he gave up that belief, he would turn insignificant at once.许多人无意识地被迫坚持某种观点,因为他是某个圈子里的“重要人物”——如果他放弃这一观点,就会成为无足轻重的小人物;10.Somewhat similar is the acceptance of an opinion through the desire—probably notrecognized by the person concerned—to justify his own nature, his own position, or his own behaviour.17另一种类似的情况是有些人出于证明自己的性格、立场或行为的愿望而接受某一种观点,也许当事人不承认这一点;Unit 4 Text ⅠLions and Tigers and BearsParaphrases of the Text1.Of course, anybody who knows anything about New Y ork knows the city’s essentialplatitude --- that you don’t wander around Central Park at night --- and in that, needless to say, was the appeal; it was the thing you don’t do.1Everybody who knows New York knows the widely discussed topic there, that is, you should not wander in Central Park at night because it’s dangerous. However, precisely because of the risk, there are always people attracted to do so. They just wish to do what people normally don’t do.当然,了解纽约的人都知道关于这座城市老生常谈的话题——夜里不能在中央公园闲逛——而这,不用说,正是吸引力所在：它是你平常不会做得事情;2.So far , so normal, and this could have been an outdoor summer-stock Shakespeareproduction anywhere in America, except in one respect (3)And tonight’s performance could be any outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s play one regularly finds in summer in America. There was only one difference.到目前为止,一切还算正常,这和美国任何地方在室外上演的莎士比亚夏令剧目没什么不同,除了一点：3....the rotating red light was like a campfire in the wild, warning what’s out there tostay away.3旋转着的红色警灯就像野外的篝火,警告四周存在的威胁不要靠近;4.I got my bearings.6 I found where i was. 我终于认清了方向;5.The park was to be strolled through, enjoyed as an aesthetic experience, like a walkinside a painting.7人们漫步于公园,享受美的体验,犹如走进一幅油画中一样;6.I was emboldened by the realization: I was no longer afraid; I was frightening.9意识到这点,我的胆子就大了起来：我不再害怕了,令人害怕的是我;7.The park is now framed, enveloped even, by the city, but there was no escaping therecognition that the city—contrived, man-made, glaring obtrusive, consuming wasteful and staggering quantities of electricity and water and energy--- was very beautiful.12But there was no denying the fact you have to admit that the city was very beautiful, although it was not a natural kind of beauty, it was artificial and showy, and it used up a great amount of water and energy.公园现在被镶嵌在城市中,甚至被城市包裹,但不可否认的是这座城市——这座经过雕琢的、人工打造的、灯火辉煌8.And then, nature finding herself unable to resist, it started to pour.24Unit 9 Text ⅠThe Damned Human RaceParaphrases of the Text1.That is to say, I have subjected every postulate that presented itself to the crucialtest of actual experiment, and have adopted it or rejected it according to the result.para.2In other words, I have put every theory or hypothesis there is to the decisive test of actual experiment.也就是说,通过实验,我对每一种假设都进行了检测,并根据实验结果采纳或者否定了这一假设;2.I was aware that … have not scrupled to cheat the ignorant and the helpless out oftheir poor servings in order to partially appease that appetite. para.4I knew that many man who have more money than they can ever use have shown a maddesire to get more, and they have not ed to cheat poor people and their few saving in order to y that desire.我意识到,许多人虽然聚敛了不计其数的财富,然而他们仍然渴望更多,并且从无知又无助的人身上肆无忌惮地夺取微薄的财富,以便来平息心中的愿望;3.Men keep harems but it is by brute force, privileged by atrocious laws which theother sex were allowed no hand in making. para.6人妻妾成群,只是依靠暴力,由暴力的法律来授予特权;然而女性是无权参与制定这些法律的;4.He will not even enter a drawing room with his breast and back naked, so alive arehe and his mates to indecent suggestion. para.8他甚至不会裸露着乳房和屁股走进卧室,但他和同伴对下流的暗示又十分敏感;5.No--- Man is the Animal that Blushes.

Only man is capable of such noble sentiment. But what does it mean It simply means that he keeps himself away from others, occupies a piece of land, calls it his own country, and thinks that he is better than others, then he puts up a flag and gathers together a group of killers and steals land from others.他打着国旗,在自己的国度里自诩与众不同,并嘲笑其他国家;他不惜花费重金,屯兵无数,就是为了吞噬大片他人的国土9.He is the only animal that has the True Religion, several of them.

The Wild West: the land of opportunities and adventures,
where many European settlers moved during the 19th century to establish new farms and new cities. In films it is often shown as a place where cowboys and Native Americans fight each other, and where cowboys use guns rather than law to settle arguments.
