21世纪大学新英语读写译教程2第二册Unit 3-7课文翻译

Unit 3Text A〔Chinese〕1994年元旦前夕，我生下一名女婴并建立了一项新的业务。

太不切实际了，是的，但它是我不得不做的。

决心要做一个居家照顾孩子的妈妈，我开始在家靠从事写广告和自由撰稿谋生。

这特别具有挑战性，因为我是一无父母的、又没有人帮助的单亲妈妈。

我必须想出办法有一个环境既能抚养孩子维持生计。

多亏了互联网！〔Chinese〕花了一小笔钱买了一个显示器、鼠标和电话后，我就连接并拨号上网了。

一买了电脑，我就聘请技术人员为我设置了万维网。

一点击鼠标我就完全进入了网络空间。

我启程了！我真是欣喜若狂。

我有了电子邮件，准备靠它带来客户。

我一下子把传真机扔出滑动玻璃门，烧掉了我的纸质活动记载。

我该马上行动了，是的，我也这样做了。

我很快建立了计算机文档，一切开始发生了。

〔Chinese〕有了无线电话耳机的连接，我抱着宝宝从一个房间到另一个房间，一边换脏尿布一边和客户交谈。

当女儿睡觉的时候，我就在网上工作。

有时候是在“奥普拉”节目的伴随中，有时是午夜过后。

在互联网上工作使得我有了这种宝贵的灵活性，我要是从事其他工作就根本不可能有这种灵活性了。

〔Chinese〕互联网帮我挖掘新的业务。

我向行业杂志和全国性杂志的编辑写了查询信，很快就收到了答复和写作任务，并没有受到时间的拖延。

我不再需要查看信箱找拒绝信或者签好的合同。

所有这些文件通过互联网电子邮件就能快速获得。

〔Chinese〕不久，我的想法就在键盘上飞越，新闻稿从指尖流出。

我是一个网络冲浪妈妈，没有什么会使我慢下来。

每套宣传材料完成后，所有的简介都写好后，我会直接用电子邮件把我的资料发给世界各地的不同编辑。

我不必再站在麦克斯办公用品公司前排队复印或等传真，我所需要的每样东西都整齐地放进我的家庭办公电脑里了〔Chinese〕即时通讯帮助我招揽了更多的业务。

我感觉到了高科技世界激情奔放。

多亏了万维网，我不再感到孤单。

我能够连接上新闻团体和各种专业人士，他们知道我在哪里以及想去哪里。

新视野大学英语第三版第二册读写课文翻译Unit 1 Text A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。

对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。

2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。

我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？”3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！”4 没了。

所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。

5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。

学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。

由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。

6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。

举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。

朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。

实际上，他们应该说They've just eaten。

因此，批评学生不合乎情理。

7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。

学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。

可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。

还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。

学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。

8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味，所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。

新视野大学英语 (第二版) 读写教程2重要段落、典型英译汉与汉译英总复习Unit1Some new arrivals will come from cultures where it is considered impolite to work too quickly. Unless a certain amount of time is allowed to elapse, it seems in their eyes as if the task being considered were insignificant, not worthy of proper respect. Assignments are, consequently, felt to be given added weight by the passage of time. In the U. S., however, it is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with speed. Usually, the more important a task is, the more capital, energy, and attention will be poured into it in order to "get it moving".有些初来美国的人来自其他文化背景不同的国家,在他们的国家,人们认为工作太快是一种失礼.在他们看来,如果不花一定时间来处理某件事的话,那么这件事就好像是无足轻重的,不值得给予适当的重视.因此, 人们觉得用的时间长会增加所做事情的重要性. 但在美国, 能迅速而又成功地解决问题或完成工作则被视为是有水平, 有能力的标志. 通常, 工作越重要, 投入的资金,精力和注意力就越多,其目的是"使工作开展起来" .Unit2Last summer, I returned to visit Nikolai.He made me tea... and did the dishes! We talked while sitting on his couch. Missing the Olympic Team the previous year had made me pause and reflect on what I had gained —not the least of which was a quiet, indissoluble bond with a short man in a tropical shirt. Nikolai taught me to have the courage, heart, and discipline to persist, even if it takes a billion tries. He taught me to be thankful in advance for a century of life on earth, and to remind myself every day that despite the challenges at hand, "Now must be love, love, love." 去年夏天,我回去拜访尼克莱.他给我沏了茶......还自己洗了碗!我们坐在沙发上聊天.怀念起前一年的奥林匹克队,我一时沉默,回想起自己曾经获得的一切——很重要的一点就是我和这个穿着颇具热带风情衬衫,个子不高的男人之间形成了并不张扬但又牢不可摧的纽带. 尼克莱教会我即使需要无数次的努力,也要凭借勇气,热情和严格的纪律来坚持下去.他还教会我为了能在这世界上生活一辈子而预先心存感激,并每天提醒自己:即便面临许多挑战, "现在心里有的必须是爱,爱,爱. "Unit3Gail and I imagined a quiet wedding. During our two yearstogether we had experienced the usual ups and downs of a couple learning to know, understand, and respect each other. But through it all we had honestly confronted the weaknesses and strengths of each other's characters. Our racial and cultural differences enhanced our relationship and taught us a great deal about tolerance, compromise, and being open with each other. Gail sometimes wondered why I and other blacks were so involved with the racial issue, and I was surprised that she seemed to forget the subtler forms of racial hatred in American society.我和盖尔计划举行一个不事张扬的婚礼.在两年的相处中,我们的关系经历了起伏,这是一对情侣在学着相互了解,理解和尊重时常常出现的.但在这整整两年间,我们坦诚地面对彼此性格中的弱点和优点. 我们之间的种族及文化差异不但增强了我们的关系,还教会了我们要彼此宽容,谅解和开诚布公.盖尔有时不明白为何我和其他黑人如此关注种族问题,而我感到吃惊的是,她好像忘记了美国社会中种族仇恨种种微妙的表现形式.Unit4Six minutes to six, said the digital clock over the information desk in Grand Central Station. John Blandford, a tall young army officer, focused his eyesight on the clockto note the exact time. In six minutes he would see the woman who had filled a special place in his life for the past thirteen months, a woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had been with him and had given him strength without fail. Soon after he volunteered for military service, he had received a book from this woman. A letter, which wished him courage and safety, came with the book. He discovered that many of his friends, also in the army, had received the identical book from the woman, Hollis Meynell. And while they all got strength from it, and appreciated her support of their cause, John Blandford was the only person to write Ms. Meynell back. On the day of his departure, to a destination overseas where he would fight in the war, he received her reply. Aboard the cargo ship that was taking him into enemy territory, he stood on the deck and read her letter to him again and again.五点五十四,问讯处数码时钟在中央火车站显示着.约翰Blandford 一个高的年轻军官,他注视在时钟上确定时间.再有六分钟,他就会看到一个女人在,他的一生中充满了一个特殊的位置在过去的 13 个月里.有一个女人,他从来没有见过,但是总写信给他,给他的力量,从不停息. 不久以后,他自愿去服兵役, 从这个女人那里他收到了一本书. 一封信,希望他的勇气和安全,和这本书一起寄来. 他发现他的许多朋友,也在军队里,收到来自这个女人的书,完全一样.而他们都得到的力量,感谢她支持他们的事业,约翰 Blandford 是唯一的人给 Ms. Meynell 回信的.他离开的那天,他在海外目的地作战时,他收到了她的回信.装货物的船带他到敌人的领土,他站在甲板上,读她的信给他一遍又一遍.Unit5There is a quotation from a battered women's shelter that I especially like: "Peace on earth begins at home." I believe everything does. I think of a quotation for people trying to stop smoking: "Every home is a no-smoking zone." Smoking is a form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, occasionally joke or complain, and helplessly watch. I realize now that as a child I sat by, through the years, and literally watched my father kill himself: Surely one such victory in my family, for the prosperous leaders who own the tobacco companies, is enough.我特别喜欢一条写在受虐妇女收容所里的语录: "人间和平,始于家庭. "我认为世上所有的东西都是如此.我还想起了另一条写给那些想戒烟的人们的语录: "每个家庭都应该是禁烟区. " 抽烟是一种自我毁灭,而且也毁灭着那些不得不坐在你身边的人.那些人偶尔也会取笑或抱怨你抽烟,可常常只能无可奈何地坐在一边看.我现在意识到,从我还是个孩子起,这些年来我实际上是一直坐在旁边,看着我父亲自杀.对那些生意兴隆的烟草公司的巨头们来说,能在我家取得这样一种胜利,肯定是够满意了. Unit6For her first twenty-four years, she'd been known as Debbie—a name that didn't suit her good looks and elegant manner. "My name has always made me think I should be a cook," she complained. "I just don't feel like a Debbie." produce by Holyidiot(Big devil) 2010/6/24 II 新视野大学英语(第二版) 读写教程 2 总复习 One day, while filling out an application form for a publishing job, the young woman impulsively substituted her middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie. "That was the smartest thing I ever did," she says now. "As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie, I felt more comfortable with myself... and other people started to take me more seriously." Two years after her successful job interview, the former waitress is now a successful magazine editor. Friends and associates call her Lynne.对于她的第一个 24 年,她就被称为德比,一个名称,并不适合她的美貌和方式优雅. "我的名字总是让我觉得我应该是一个厨师, "她抱怨道. "我只是不觉得像戴比. " 有一天,而填写了出版工作申请的形式,年轻的女子情不自禁的用她的中间名林恩代替她的 first 名字,黛比. "那是我做过的最聪明的事, "她说,现在. "只要我停下来称呼我自己戴比,我觉得更舒服...我和其他人开始把我更认真. " 两年后,她的成功面试,前者是现在一个成功的女服务员杂志编辑.朋友和同事称她林恩.Unit7Keep in mind that over time these priorities are going to change. "The kids grow up, the dog dies and you change your priorities." From Eliot's viewpoint, the other key to controlling stress is to "realize that there are other troublesome parts of your life over which you can have little or no control—like the economy and politicians". You have to realize that sometimes with things like traffic jams, deadlines and unpleasant bosses, "You can't fight. You can't flee. You have to learn how to flow." 请记住:随着时间的推移,优先要做的事会有所改变. "孩子会长大,狗会死去,你所优先考虑做的事也会改变. " 根据埃利奥特的观点,控制压力的另一关键因素是"要承认你生活中还有一些棘手的,你几乎无法或完全无法控制的东西——比如经济以及政客们. " 你必须认识到, 有时候像交通阻塞, 最后期限及讨厌的老板这类事情, "你无法抗争, 也无法逃避. 你必须学会如何与之相容. "Unit8 That's the way it should be. Oscar Wilde had it rightwhen he said we ought to give our ability to our work butour genius to our lives. Let's hope our educators answer students' cries for career education, but at the same timelet's ensure that students are prepared for the day whenthey realize their shortsightedness. There's a lot more tolife than a job.这是教育之道.奥斯卡.王尔德说得好:我们应该把我们的才能用于工作,而把我们的天赋投入到生活中去. 我们希望我们的教育工作者能满足学生对职业教育的渴求,但与此同时,我们也要确保学生能为他们认识到自己目光短浅的那一天做好准备.人生的意义远远不止工作.Chinese-EnglishUnit11,她连水也不愿喝一口,更别提留下来吃饭了.

Unit 1An impressive English lesson1 If I am the only parent who still corrects his child's English, then perhaps my son is right. To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest anticipation.3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words, and then exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"4 And that was it. The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture were captured in a condensed non-statement. My student's "whoa!" was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.5 There are many different stories about the downturn in the proper use of English. Surely students should be able to distinguish between their/there/they're or the distinctive difference between complimentary and complementary. They unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these knowledge deficits because there is a sense that they should know better.6 Students are not dumb, but they are being misled everywhere they look and listen. For example, signs in grocery stores point them to the stationary, even though the actual stationery items — pads, albums and notebooks —are not nailed down. Friends and loved ones often proclaim they've just ate when, in fact, they've just eaten. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to criticize our students.7 Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be thrust upon our schools, which should be setting high standards of English language proficiency. Instead, they only teach a little grammar and even less advanced vocabulary. Moreover, the younger teachers themselves evidently have little knowledge of these vital structures of language because they also went without exposure to them. Schools fail to adequately teach the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary, while they should take the responsibility of pushing the young onto the path of competent communication.8 Since grammar is boring to most of the young students, I think that it must be handled delicately, step by step. The chance came when one day I was driving with my son. As we set out on our trip, he noticed a bird in jerky flight and said, "It's flying so unsteady." I carefully asked, "My son, how is the bird flying?" "What's wrong? Did I say anything incorrectly?" He got lost. "Great! You said incorrectly instead of incorrect. We use adverbs to describe verbs. Therefore, it's flying so unsteadily but not so unsteady."9 Curious about my correction, he asked me what an adverb was. Slowly, I said, "It's a word that tells you something about a verb." It led to his asking me what a verb was. I explained, "Verbs are action words; for example, Dad drives the truck. Drive is the verb because it's the thing Dad is doing."10 He became attracted to the idea of action words, so we listed a few more: fly, swim, dive, run. Then, out of his own curiosity, he asked me if other words had names for their use and functions. This led to a discussion of nouns, adjectives, and articles. Within the span of a 10-minute drive, he had learned from scratch to the major parts of speech in asentence. It was painless learning and great fun!11 Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a road map and a valuable possession: often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a well-conditioned car.12 The road map provides the framework and guidance you need for your trip, but it won't tell you exactly what trees or flowers you will see, what kind of people you will encounter, or what types of feelings you will be experiencing on your journey.

1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot." UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

大学英语第二册课后段落翻译参考答案

第二册课后段落翻译参考答案Unit 1 (p.20)To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English. Unit 2 (p.48)With more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year. We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly / academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.Unit 3 (p. 77)George, the son of Mr. Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep. Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference. They called Mr. Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking. Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue. As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.”In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates.Unit 4 (p. 104)Perhaps you envy me for being able to work from home on the computer. I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier. I can write, submit and edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line and discuss work with my boss. With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news. But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times. The system may crash. Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret.Unit 5 (p. 148)Numerous facts bear out the argument / statement / claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry. You needn’t / don’t have to be ashamed of crying. Anxiety and sorrow can flow out of the body along with tears.Consider the case of / Take Donna. Her son unfortunately died in a car accident. The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry. She said, “It was not until twoweeks later that I began to cry. And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders. It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survive the crisis.”Unit 6 (p. 175)Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7 (p. 202)Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguistics believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8 (p. 228)This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where London's Olympic "legacy" is failing. Ten yearsago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run －up to 2012－ but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to "inspire a generation." The success of Parkrun offers answers.Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. Theethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in theplanning of such a fundamentally "grassroots", concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods－ making sure there is space for playing fields and themoney to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do moreto provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.21.According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has_____.A．gained great popularityB．created many jobsC．strengthened community tiesD．become an official festival22.The author believes that London's Olympic "legacy" has failed to_____.A．boost population growthB．promote sport participationC．improve the city's imageD．increase sport hours in schools23.Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it_____.A．aims at discovering talentsB．focuses on mass competitionC．does not emphasize elitismD．does not attract first-timers24.With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments should_____. A．organize "grassroots" sports eventsB．supervise local sports associationsC．increase funds for sports clubsD．invest in public sports facilities25.The author's attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is_____. A．tolerantB．criticalC．uncertainD．sympatheticText 2With so much focus on children’ s use of screens, it's easy for parents to forget abouttheir own screen use.“ Tech is designed to really suck on you in,” says Jenny Ra in her study of digital play, "and digital products are there to promote maximalengagement. It makes it hard to disengage, and leads to a lot of bleed-over into thefamily routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by givingmother-child pairs a food-testing exercise. She found that mothers who sued devicesduring the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbalinteractions with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phonesbecame a source of tension in the family. Parents would be looking at their emailswhile the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents faces’to try to understand their world, and ifthose faces are blank and unresponsive—as they often are when absorbed in adevice－it can be extremely disconcerting foe the children. Radesky cites the “ stillface experiment” devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s. Init, a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on ablank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback; The child becomesincreasingly distressed as she tries to capture her mother’ s attention. "Parents don' have to be exquisitely parents at all times, but there needs to be a balance andparents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child ’verbals or nonverbalexpressions of an emotional need," says Radesky.On the other hand, Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids' use ofscreens are born out of an“ oppressive ideology thatndsdematht parents shouldalways be interacting” with their children:“ It ’ s based on a somewhat fantasized, v white, very upper-middle- class ideology that says if you’ re failing to expose your childto 30,000 words you are neglecting them.” Tronickesthatbelievjust because a childisn ’ t learning from the screen doesn’ t mean there’－sparticularlynovaluetoifititgives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break fromtheir child. Parents, he says, can get a lot out of using their devices to speak to afriend or get some work out of the way. This can make them feel happier, which letsthen be more available to their child the rest of the time.26.According to Jenny Radesky, digital products are designed to ______.A．simplify routine mattersB．absorb user attentionC．better interpersonal relationsD．increase work efficiency’ use of devices ______.27. Radesky ’ s -foodtesting exercise shows thatmothers A．takes away babies ’ appetiteB．distracts children’ s attentionC．slows down babies’ verbal developmentD．reduces mother-child communication28. Radesky ’ s cites the“ still face experiment” to show that _______.A．it is easy for children to get used to blank expressionsB．verbal expressions are unnecessary for emotional exchangeC．children are insensitive to changes in their parents ’ mood D．parentsneed to respond to children's emotional needs29.The oppressive ideology mentioned by Tronick requires parents to_______. A．protect kids from exposure to wild fantasiesB．teach their kids at least 30,000 words a yearC．ensure constant interaction with their childrenD．remain concerned about kid's use of screens30. According to Tronick, kid’ s use of screens may_______.A．give their parents some free timeB．make their parents more creativeC．help them with their homeworkD．help them become more attentiveText 3Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn't it? And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn t academic’.But while this may be true, it ’nots a good enough reason to condemn gap years. There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated “raceto the finish line, whether”that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits－ in fact, it probably enhances it. Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes－ all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimation blunders.If you're not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests, then consider its financial impact on future academic choices. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students endup changing their majors at least once. This isn ’surprising,t considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to anotherafter taking college classes. It ’nots necessarily a bad thing, but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department. Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.31.One of the reasons for high-school graduates not taking a gap year is that_____. A．they think it academically misleadingB．they have a lot of fun to expect in collegeC．it feels strange to do differently from othersD．it seems worthless to take off-campus courses32.Studies from the US and Australia imply that taking a gap year helps_____. A．keep students from being unrealisticB．lower risks in choosing careersC．ease freshmen ’ s financial burdensD．relieve freshmen of pressures33.The word “ acclimation（Line”8, Para. 3） is closest in meaningto_____. A．adaptationB．applicationC．motivationD．competition34.A gap year may save money for students by helping them_____.A．avoid academic failuresB．establish long-term goalsC．switch to another collegeD．decide on the right major35.The most suitable title for this text would be_____.A．In Favor of the Gap YearB．The ABCs of the Gap YearC．The Gap Year Comes BackD．The Gap Year: A DilemmaText 4Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is a national concern because of its impact on federal tax dollars, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialist in fire ecology and management.In 2015, the US Forest Service for the first time spent more than half of its $5.5 billion annual budget fighting fires － nearly double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. In effect, fewer federal funds today are going towards the agency's other work － such as forest conservation, watershed and cultural resources management, and infrastructure upkeep－that affect the lives of all Americans.Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are goinginto construction in fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federaldollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?“ It ’alreadys a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the wholecountry, he” says. We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like,“ Wait a minute, this OK?”“ Dowe want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower- hazard parts of the landscape?”Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today viewsfire, researchers say.For one thing, conversations about wildfires need to be more inclusive. Over the pastdecade, the focus has been on climate change－how the warming of the Earth fromgreenhouse gases is leading to conditions that worsen fires.While climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldn’ t come at the expense of the rest of the equation.“ The human systems and the landscapes we live on are linked, and the interactionsgo both ways," he says. Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to "an overlysimplified view of what the solutions might be. Our perception of the problem and ofwhat the solution is becomes very limited.”At the same time, people continue to treat fire as an event that needs to be whollycontrolled and unleashed only out of necessity, says Professor Balch at the Universityof Colorado. But acknowledging fire's inevitable presence in human life is an attitudecrucial to developing the laws, policies, and practices that make it as safe as possible,she says.“ We’ vedisconnected ourselves from living with fire, ”Balch says. “ It is reallyimportant to understand and try and tease out what is the human connection withfire today. ”36. More frequent wildfires have become a national concern because in 2015they_____.A．exhausted unprecedented management effortsB．consumed a record-high percentage of budgetC．severely damaged the ecology of western statesD．caused a huge rise of infrastructure expenditure37.Moritz calls for the use of "a magnifying glass" to _____.A．raise more funds for fire-prone areasB．avoid the redirection of federal moneyC．find wildfire-free parts of the landscapeD．guarantee safer spending of public funds38.While admitting that climate is a key element, Moritz notes that _____.A．public debates have not settled yetB．fire-fighting conditions are improvingC．other factors should not be overlookedD．a shift in the view of fire has taken place39.The overly simplified view Moritz mentions is a result of failing to _____. A．discover the fundamental makeup of natureB．explore the mechanism of the human systemsC．maximize the role of landscape in human lifeD．understand the interrelations of man and nature40.Professor Balch points out that fire is something man should _____.A．do away withB．come to terms withC．pay a price forD．keep away fromPart BDirections：Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column.

"We don't make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexico clothing line.Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades,and further trade deals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.But there is also a different way to look at the data.Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: insteadof having too many workers, they may end up with too few. Despite tradecompetition and outsourcing, American manufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennials may not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar or better pay.For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers－and upward pressure on wages. "They're harder to find and they have job offers," says Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine Coil Spring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming [into the workforce], but they've been plucked by other industries that arealso doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringing high school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture.At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his father cofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five are retiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placement program, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that rises to $17 after two years.At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flusteredby the copper coils he's trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It's his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching to electrical engineering. "I love workingwith tools. I love creating." he says.But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency forwestern Michigan.These concerns aren't misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970 to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, worker shortagesfirst appeared in the high-skilled trades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels."The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and those that require a lot of skill,"says Rob Spohr, a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There're enough people to fill the jobs at McDonalds and other places where you don't needto have much skill. It's that gap in between, and that's where the problem is."Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennialsinto manufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, young people value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live their lives," she says.[A]says that he switched to electricalengineering because he loves workingwith tools 。

新视野⼤学英语读写教程第⼆版第⼆册课⽂翻译【1-10单元全】UNIT 5 SECTION A我为⼥⼉抽烟哭泣我的⼥⼉会抽烟。

她做家庭作业时，脚搁在前⾯的长凳上，计算机嗒嗒地跳出⼏何题的答案。

我看着那包已抽了⼀半、她随意扔在紧靠⼿边处的骆驼牌⾹烟。

我拿起⾹烟，⾛到厨房⾥去仔细察看，那⾥的光线好⼀点——谢天谢地，那是有过滤嘴的。

可我⼼⾥却感到⼗分难过。

我想哭。

事实上，站在炉⼦旁边, 我确实哭过。

我⼿⾥捏着⼀⽀雪⽩雪⽩的⾹烟，制作得⾮常精致。

那可是会致我⼥⼉于死地的东西啊。

当她抽?万宝路?及?运动员?牌⾹烟时，我硬起⼼肠, 不让⾃⼰感到难过。

我认识的⼈当中没有哪个抽过这两种牌⼦的⾹烟。

她不知道我⽗亲、也就是她外公⽣前抽的就是骆驼牌⾹烟。

但是在他开始抽机制卷烟之前——那时他很年轻、也很穷，但眼睛炯炯有神——他抽的是⽤阿尔伯特亲王牌烟丝⾃⼰⼿⼯卷制的⾹烟。

我还记得那鲜红的烟丝罐头，上⾯有⼀张维多利亚⼥王的丈夫阿尔伯特亲王⾝穿⿊⾊燕尾服、⼿拿⼀⽀⼿杖的图⽚。

到40年代末、50年代初，我的家乡佐治亚州的伊腾顿镇上已没有⼈再⾃⼰⼿⼯制作卷烟了（⽽且⼏乎没有⼥⼈抽烟）。

烟草业，再加上好莱坞电影——影⽚中的男⼥主⾓都是⽼烟⿁——把像我⽗亲那样的⼈完完全全争取了过去, 他们⽆可救药地抽烟上了瘾。

然⽽我⽗亲看上去从来就没有像阿尔伯特亲王那样时髦。

他还是⼀个贫穷、过于肥胖、为养活⼀⼤家⼈⽽拼命⼲活的男⼈。

他浑⾝漆⿊，嘴⾥却总叼着⼀⽀雪⽩的⾹烟。

我记不清⽗亲是什么时候开始咳嗽的, 也许开始时并不明显, 他早晨⼀下床点燃第⼀⽀⾹烟时才有点微咳。

到我16岁, 也就是我⼥⼉现在这般年龄时，他⼀呼吸就呼哧呼哧的，让⼈感到不安；他上楼时每⾛三、四级楼梯就得停下来休息⼀会⼉。

他常常⼀连咳上⼀个来⼩时。

肺病把我⽗亲折磨得虚弱不堪, ⼀个严冬，他死于被叫做?穷⼈的朋友?的疾病—肺炎。

他咳嗽了这么多年，我想他的肺部已没有什么完好的地⽅了。

去世前⼏年，他的呼吸已经很虚弱了，他总得倚靠着某个东西。

Unit 1Active reading (1)大学已经不再特别了1 有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20 世纪60 年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。

但是，20 世纪60 年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。

20 世纪60 年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。

然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。

1966 年，罗纳德·里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、持不一意见的少数人征服。

”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、持不同意见的少数人。

3 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

许多抗议是针对越南战争的。

可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致了戴高乐总统辞职。

4 20 世纪60 年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。

不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。

你往往得上了大学才得以阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米·亨德里克斯或伦尼·布鲁斯的志同道合者。

那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。

5 可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。

当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。

例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50％的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标，（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。

不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。

第二册课文翻译

Unit1美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。

在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人尽快吃完，以便他们也能及时用餐，你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此，时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

因此，我们千方百计地节约时间。

我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流，而不是通过直接接触。

虽然面对面接触令人愉快，但却要花更多的时间，尤其是在马路上交通拥挤的时候。
