Lesson1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

大学英语教材第三册课文翻译

大学英语教材第三册课文翻译课文一: A Trip to the Great Wall在中国，有着一座古老而宏伟的建筑——长城。

长城是中国的象征之一，也是世界七大奇迹之一。

它拥有悠久的历史和壮丽的景色，吸引着来自世界各地的游客。

上周末，我和朋友们决定去长城进行一次难忘的旅行。

我们一早就出发了，沿着崎岖的山路一路向北。

当我们终于抵达长城时，我们都不禁为其宏伟的景色所震撼。

我们开始攀登长城，这是一项相当艰巨的任务。

长墙蜿蜒曲折，不时出现一些陡峭的台阶，但我们并没有退缩。

我们带着激动和好奇的心情，继续向前。

沿途，我们看到了长城上的瞭望塔，这些塔楼被广泛用于观察和防御，让我们感受到了古代中国的军事智慧。

我们还看到了一些标志性的景点，比如“不朽长城”和“万里长城碑”，这些都是长城的代表性建筑。

不仅如此，我们还欣赏到了长城两侧壮丽的自然风景。

长城建在山脊上，四周被茂密的树林环绕。

站在长城上，我们可以眺望远处的蓝天和连绵起伏的山脉，这让我们感到无比宁静和恢弘。

在攀登了几个小时后，我们终于到达了长城的终点。

我们感到骄傲和满足，因为我们成功地征服了这段历史悠久的建筑。

我们留下了许多美好的回忆，也体会到了团队合作和坚持不懈的重要性。

这次长城之行让我对中国的历史和文化有了更深刻的了解。

我深深地爱上了这座建筑壮丽、历史悠久的长城，希望将来还能有机会再次回到这里，品味更多的美景和传奇。

课文二：A Journey to the Forbidden City在中国的北京市中心，有着一座宏伟而神秘的建筑群——故宫。

故宫是中国古代帝王的居所，也是世界上最大的宫殿建筑群。

这个神秘的地方一直吸引着游客们的目光。

最近，我有幸参观了这个古老而庄严的故宫。

一进入故宫，我就被其庞大而精美的建筑群所震撼。

我感受到了中国古代帝王的威严与尊贵，也感受到了中国传统文化的博大精深。

在参观过程中，我了解到故宫共有九千九百九十九间房屋。

每一间房屋都有特定用途，比如供奉神明的殿堂、行政办公的厅堂以及皇帝和妃嫔们居住的宫殿。

Unit 1一个年轻人发现，在街上漫无目的的闲逛也会带来涉及法律上的麻烦。

一种误解导致另一种误解，直到最终他必须在法庭上接受审判…….法律小冲突我平生只有一次陷入与法律的冲突。

被捕与被带上法庭的整个经过在当时是一种令人极不愉快的经历，但现在这却成为一个好故事的素材。

尤其令人恼怒的是我被捕及随后在法庭上受审期间的种种武断情形。

事情发生在十二年前的二月，那是我中学毕业已经几个月了，但是要等到十月份才能上大学，所以当时我仍在家中。

一天上午，我来到离我住地不远的伦敦郊区的里士满，那是我正在找一份临时的工作，一边攒些钱去旅游。

由于天体晴朗，有没有什么急事，我便悠然自得的看看窗店橱窗，逛逛公园，有时干脆停下来四处观望。

一定是这种显然无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。

事情发生在十一点半左右，当我在当地图书馆谋之未成，刚从那里出来，就看见一个人从马路对面走过来，显然是想跟我说话。

我愿意为他是要问我时间。

想不到他说他是警察，要逮捕我。

开始我还以为这是个玩笑。

但紧接着又来了一个穿着警服的警察，这下我无可置疑了。

“为什么抓我？”我问。

“四处游荡，有作案嫌疑，”他说。

“做什么案？”我又问。

“偷东西，”他说。

“偷什么”我追问。

“牛奶瓶”他说，表情极端严肃。

“噢，”事情是这样的，这一带经常发生小偷小摸的案件，尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。

接着，我犯了个大错误，那是我才十九岁，留着一头乱蓬蓬的长发，自以为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。

因此，我想对此表现出一副冷漠，满不在乎的态度，于是用一种很随便的无所谓的腔调说：“你们跟我多久了？”这样一来，我在他们眼里，我是惯于此种情形的，这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。

几分钟后来了一辆警车。

“坐到后面去，”他们说：“把手放在椅背上，不许乱动。

”他俩分别坐在我的左右，这下可不是闹着玩的了。

在警察局，他们审问了我好几个小时。

我继续装着老于世故，对此种事习以为常的样子。

当他们问我一直在干什么事时，我告诉他们我在找工作。

你乘坐的巨轮，靠测深锤或测深线的指引，举步维艰地靠向海岸，既紧张又焦急不安；而你则心里砰砰直跳，等着有事要发生。

而我在接受教育之前正像那巨轮，所不同的是我连指南针或测深线都没有，更无从知晓离港湾还有多远。

我的心灵在无声地疾呼：“光明！给我光明吧! ”而就在此时此刻，爱的光芒洒在了我的身上。

(考原课文填空，英文，注意新单词) 9 那天我学会了很多新词。

现在我已记不清都是些什么词了，但我还记得其中有“妈妈、爸爸、姐妹、老师”。

这些词使得整个世界就像有了“亚伦的神杖，充满了鲜花”，为我绽开。

在这个重要的日子快要结束时，已很难找到一个比我更加幸福的孩子。

我躺在自己的小床上，回味着这一天所给予我的欣喜；渴望着新的一天的到来，这是我有生以来从未有过的期盼。

(考课文英翻汉)第六单元，人和动物的好斗性1 人类肯定是所有动物中最好斗和最残忍的。

我们会说暴徒的行为就“像野兽”，然而事实上，没有任何一种动物象人类那样残暴。

当领域性的动物或鸟类侵入了别的同类动物的领地时，后者只会做一些表示敌意的姿态以吓跑入侵者。

但是，万一有争斗，任何一方都不会受重伤，因为败方会做出姿态表示投降以便保全性命。

一般情况下，动物之间只会为了觅食而杀戮，同类动物之间自相残杀是极少见的。

(考课文英翻汉)2 然而，如果动物发现自己处于异常环境下，它会表现出特别地富有攻击性。

有一只老虎从丛林跑到村庄来，袭击了人，后来人们发现原来它的爪子受了伤，使它显然不能像平时那样去猎食。

假如不是因为受伤，这只虎毫无疑问还会呆在丛林里，并像往常那样去猎取食物。

关在动物园笼子里的动物，往往会比在野外时更加寻衅好斗。

比如说，关在笼子里的狮子一旦能自由自在地徜徉在非洲的大草原上，那么它会一直活力充沛，长途游弋，与家族同类一起追捕食物。

新概念第三册课文及翻译（Lesson46~48）新概念第三册课文及翻译（Lesson46）【课文】So great is our passion for doing things for ourselves, that we are becoming increasingIy less dependent onspecialized labour. No one can plead ignorance of a subject any longer, for there are countless do-it-yourself publications. Armed with the right tools and materials, newlyweds gaily embark on the task of decorating their own homes. Men, particularly, spend hours of their leisure time installing their own fireplaces, laying out their own gardens; building garages and making furniture. Some really keen enthusiasts go so far as to build their own computers. Shops cater for the do-it-yourself craze not only by runningspecial advisory services for novices, but by offering consumers bits and pieces which they can assemble at home. Such things provide an excellent outlet for pent up creative energy, but unfortunately not all of us are born handymen.Some wives tend to believe that their husbands areinfinitely resourceful and can fix anything. Even men who can hardly drive a nail in straight are supposed to be born electricians, carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. When lights fuse, furniture gets rickety, pipes get clogged, or vacuum cleaners fail to operate, some women assume that their husbands will somehow put things right. The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game is that sometimes even men live under the delusion that they can do anything, even when they haverepeatedly been proved wrong. It is a question of pride as much as anything else.Last spring my wife suggested that I call in a man to look at our lawn mower. It had broken down the previous summer, and though I promised to repair it, I had never got round to it. I would not hear of the suggestion and said that I would fix it myself. One Saturday afternoon, I hauled the machine into the garden and had a close look at it. As far as I could see, it only needed a minor adjustment： a turn of a screw here, a little tightening up there, a drop of oil andit would be as good as new. Inevitably the repair job was not quite so simple. The mower firmly refused to mow, so I decided to dismantle it. The garden was soon littered with chunks of metal which had once made up a lawn mower. But I was extremely pleased with myself. I had traced the cause of the trouble. One of the links in the chain that drives the wheels had snapped. After buying a new chain I was faced with the insurmountable task of putting the confusing jigsaw puzzle together again. I was not surprised to find that the machine still refused to work after I had reassembled it, for the simple reason that I was left with several curiously shaped bits of metal which did not seem to fit anywhere. I gave up in despair. The weeks passed and the grass grew. When my wife nagged me to do something about it, I told her that either I would have to buy a new mower or let the grass grow. Needless to say our house is now surrounded by a jungle. Buried somewhere in deep grass there is a rusting lawn-mower which I have promised to repair one day.【课文翻译】现在我们自己动手做事的热情很高，结果对于专业工人的依赖越来越少了。

Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal.

就这点而言，与安迪诺瑞观点一致的科学家或许是正确的，他们指出我们没有充分的理由来反对作为医疗手段的克隆生育技术。

Unit 4且慢，神奇医生

即使克隆成功了，也无人能理解其究竟。

所以我们先别去争论复杂的伦理道德。

在最基本问题得到澄清之前就开展人体克隆，简直就是浪费时间和精力。

这并不是说安蒂诺里定会失败，问题仅仅在于即使他成功了，代价也许会高得让人难以接受。

将会浪费大量的卵子和胚胎，很多妇女将经历怀孕的艰难过程，而结果却是流产或堕胎。

从现在算起几年以后，技术将会有长足的进步，无谓的损失就会极大地降低。

然而，在现阶段要想阻止生育克隆，似乎任何人对此都几乎无能为力。

这不仅仅是安蒂诺里和他的团队热衷于这项研究，还有一个叫做雷利安的宗教组织相信克隆是实现永生的关键，并声称已经拥有了必要的卵子捐赠者和自愿接受移植胚胎的人。

那末，制定更加严厉的法律又将如何呢？虽然目前在很多国家移植克隆的人类胚胎是非法的，但是绝不是所有的地方都会禁止。

禁止克隆很有可能会使其转入地下，而不是将其根除。

因为秘密研究会引起问题，安蒂诺里和他的团队拒绝透露他们将把哪个国家作为研究基地。

不管人们喜欢与否，克隆研究仍将进行下去。

迟早我们将要做出抉择：对克隆研究进行规范是否比强行禁止更为有利。

当然安蒂诺里会主张对克隆进行规范。

他相信人们定会摆脱由克隆生育带来的情感冲突，将其作为另一种试管受精技术，这只是时间上的问题。

上周他说道，一旦第一个克隆婴儿呱呱坠地，全世界一定会欢迎他的到来。

但是，如果第一个克隆婴儿不健康、畸形，或者只是千百个克隆胎儿中的唯一幸存者，世界绝不会接受他。

过早抢先开始克隆实验，神奇医生和他的同事们的确面临着极大的风险。

如果他们的直觉出错，对克隆技术乃至对整个科学事业的冲击将是灾难性的。

”我沮丧地看着纸条上的字，就好像在晚会上你盯着几个以前曾经见过的面孔，却怎么也想不起他们的名字。

Proverb？Peculiar？Idiomatic我怎么会知道？会用一个词是一回事儿，会解释可是另外一回事儿。

于是我故意转移话题。

“这些字是哪儿来的？”
司机解释说他是巴基斯坦人，开车时喜欢听收音机，经常把不熟悉的、精彩的词随手记下来，然后向乘客询问他们的意思和拼法。

“
Peculiar，这个词什么意思？”他问。

这个我知道。

“指奇特、古怪，经常带点儿怀疑的意味，”我说。

“谢谢您，小姐。

那么，idiomatic呢？
”我清清嗓子，说：“嗯，它是指，嗯，它是语言的一种独特运用。

”
我自以为“独特”一词用得很妙，他却一脸的迷惑。

这是在提示我，如果对方没有明白，这词儿就不能算用得妙。

“啊，这么说吧，idiomatic和idiom有关，而idiom是指一个国家的某一特定地区或一个民族的某一特定人群使用的词，该地区以外的人，不属于这个群体的人一般不用或不明白它的用法。

”
看着他迷惑不解的样子，我不知用什么恰当的词才好，只好继续解释下去，似乎一千个模糊的词加起来可以等于一个准确的定义。

“你能举个例子吗？
”我绞尽脑汁地想：“围观塞车，”这是个独特的芝加哥惯用语。

可这算得上名副其实的惯用语吗？我不得而知。

我越想惯用语，就越没有把握说清楚惯用语到底是什么？
“那么proverb呢？
”我本该当时就告诉这个可怜的人，我的解释也许会误导他对谚语真正含义的理解，但我却说：“我觉得谚语就是一种警语，但又不完全是。

”“一种什么？
”“算了，别管它，谚语是给人们以警示的短小精悍的句子。

”
“比如说……
”当我在脑海里拼命地搜索时，记价器上的数字又跳了20美分。

最后我低声说：“欲速则不达？”
但它算是谚语吗？且慢，谚语是否应该是些小故事而并非短语呢？我还在掂量谚语可能就是小故事时，他又问：“那惯用语是谚语吗？
”这我可以回答，但不是在此时。

因为此时这一回答至关重要，一个好奇聪明的外国移民以为他所期待的答案会从一个本国人的口中自然而然地脱口而出，就好像十月的树叶会自然地落下来一样。

因此我退却了。

“你请乘客给你解释词意的时候，他们大多都会给你答案吗？
”“会的，小姐，很有意思的解释。

”
直到那时，我一直在为这位司机学习英语的执著而感动，陶醉于能有机会与一个充满好奇心的人一起来满足自己对语言词语的好奇心，却未能充分意识到在这辆出租车上可能犯下
的语言欺诈错误。

我几乎不敢想象这位司机听到的是什么样的蹩脚英语，因为像我这样的懦夫不敢坦白地承认：“我对自己的母语并不懂。

”我只能希望像他这样好奇的人会有一本字典，希望他能明白，不论乘客如何解释，发生围观塞车时，欲速则未必不达。
