大学英语精读2课文翻译全Unit 1 XXX Party一场激烈的争论关于男人是否比女人更勇敢，最终以一种出人意料的方式解决了。
故事的背景是在印度，据说这个故事在当地仍然广为流传。
但实际上，这个故事并不是真的。
有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事，但是我一直未能找到那篇文章。
在这个故事中，一对殖民地官员和他们的客人在家中举行盛大的晚宴。
餐桌设在宽敞的餐厅里，地板是大理石的，没有铺地毯，屋顶上的椽子裸露着，宽大的玻璃门通向走廊。
客人包括军官和他们的夫人，还有一位来访的美国博物学家。
在晚宴上，一位年轻女士和一位少校展开了激烈的讨论。
女士认为，现代女性已经不像过去那样害怕老鼠了，而少校则不同意。
他认为，女人在遇到危险时会尖叫，而男人则会更加冷静。
在场的美国博物学家没有参加讨论，他只是静静地观察着其他客人。
突然间，他注意到女主人的表情有些奇怪。
她盯着前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得的，迅速地离开了餐室。
只有美国博物学家注意到这一幕，其他人都没有察觉到。
他意识到，碗中的牛奶是用来引蛇的诱饵。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子，但是那里没有蛇。
室内的三个角落也没有蛇，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。
这样，剩下的唯一可能藏蛇的地方就是餐桌下面。
他想要往后一跳并向其他人发出警告，但他知道这样会引起骚乱，使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。
于是他讲了一通话，语气非常威严，使所有人都安静了下来。
“我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制力，我数三百下，也就是五分钟，你们谁都不许动一动。
动者将罚款五十卢比。
准备好！”在我等待进大学的时候，我在一份地方报纸上看到了一则广告，说是在伦敦某郊区，距离我家约十英里的地方有一所学校正在招聘教师。
由于手头很拮据，同时也想做点有用的事情，我便提出了申请。
然而，我也担心自己没有学位，没有教学经验，得到这份工作的可能性微乎其微。

Their argument ended when she slammed the door and left without a word.1.出席晚宴的客人对那个美国人威严的语气感到有点意外。
The guests at the dinner party were slightly surprised at the commanding tone of the American.2.约翰尼已长大成熟，不再害怕独自呆在家里了。

The letter is to be handed to Dr. Wilson himself.5.南希虽然很想参加辩论，但腼腆得不敢开口。
While she felt like joining in the argument, Nancy was too shy to open her mouth。
6.你觉得什么时候最有可能在家里找到他？What do you think is the likeliest time to find him at home?7.猎人一看见有只狐狸从树丛中出现并向他设下(lay) 的陷阱(trap) 方向跑去，脸上顿时闪出了兴奋的表情。

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。

Unit1 The Dinner Party关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了。
晚宴莫娜·加德纳我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前不久，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。
故事发生在印度。
某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。
筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。
跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。
席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。
年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。
他说：“一遇到危急情况，女人的反应便是尖叫。
而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。
这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。
”那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。
室内的三个角落里也是空的，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。
这样，剩下的就只有一个地方了——餐桌下面。
他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发出警告。
但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。
于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常威严，竟使得所有的人都安静了下来。
(完整word版)现代大学英语精读2unit1Anotherschoolyear——whatfor
现代大学英语精读2Unit 1 Another school year------what for?又是一个新学年——为什么上大学？约翰查尔迪首先，给大家讲讲我教书生涯刚开始的时候经历过的一次失败吧。
那是在1940年的一月，我当时研究生刚毕业，开始在堪萨斯市大学教书。
我的学生中有个瘦高个儿，活像个长着头发的扁豆架支杆。
他走进课堂，坐了下来，双手在胸前交叉着，看了看我，好像在说：好吧，教我些什么吧。
两个礼拜以后，我们开始讲《哈姆雷特》。
又过了三个礼拜，他来到我的办公室，双手叉腰。
“我告诉你，”他说，“我到这里来是为了当个药剂师。
我干嘛要读这些玩意？”说着他用手指了指桌子上我的那本书，因为他自己没有带书来。
我当时虽然是个初出茅庐的新教师，可我也能告诉这位一些理由。
我可以向他指出，他进的不是一所制药学校，而是一所大学。
修满大学课程他就能得到一份证书，上面写着“理学士”，而不是“合格的药剂师”。
这份证书说明他接受过制药的专门训练，同时还说明，他受到过人类文明思想的熏陶。
换言之，他上的不是一所职业技术学校，而是一所大学，学生上大学既要接受职业训练，也要接受人文教育。
我完全可以对他说这些话的，但是很明显，他不会在大学坚持太久，他懂不懂这些道理无关紧要。
尽管如此，我当时很年轻，有很强的责任心，所以就试着这么跟他解释：“你这一辈子，每天大概平均有二十四个小时。
热恋的时候，你会觉得一天的时间短一点，而失恋的时候，则会长一些。
但是平均起来，大致就是这个数。
这其中的八个小时，你基本上是在睡觉。
“每个工作日，你大约需要工作八小时，我希望你会用来做些有用的事情。
假设你修完了制药，或者土木工程、法律或是其他学科的课程，那么在这八小时里，你会使用你的专业技术：在配制阿司匹林的时候，确保里面不掺进氰化物；在搞工程设计的时候，确保牛不会跳进篱笆里；当律师时，就要确保你的委托人不会因为你的无能而坐上电椅。
这些都是非常有用的职业，都需要人们应该尊重的技能，这些技能都能帮助你满足你的基本需求。

Prejudice Against Women
Women have been prejudiced against for centuries perhaps ever since life on earth. They have long been referred to as “weaker sex”, considered naturally weaker than men, unable to perform the work that requires muscles or pluck the courage to face up to any crisis. As we know, Plato( 柏拉图 ), Aristotle, Shakespeare, and Confucius all made negative remarks about women. And even today, such a prejudice has not entirely been eliminated and the argument in the text shows how hard long-standing prejudices die.
1. Who do you think are braver, women or men? (Please give an example to support your statement.)
2. Do you think women can do everything men can?
3. Do you believe that women can face a crisis with great self-control?

现代大学英语第二版精读2 Unit 1 Translation Another school year- what for
又是一个新学年——为什么上大学约翰·齐阿迪1 让我来给你们讲讲我在刚开始教书生涯时所遭到的一次惨败。
那是1940年1月，我刚从研究生院毕业，在堪萨斯大学开始第一个学期的执教。
有这么一个学生，瘦高个，样子活像一根长着头发的豆架。
他走进课堂，坐了下来，双臂交叉抱在胸前，看了看我，就像在说：“好吧，那就教我点什么吧。
”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。
又过了三周，他走进我的办公室，双手放在臀部（双手叉腰），“你知道，”他说，“我来这儿是为了当药剂师。
我干嘛要念这些玩意儿？”因为连书都没带，他就指着我桌上的那本书说。
2 尽管我刚当老师，但我也蛮可以告诉此兄好些道理。
我本可以指出，他来报名的地方不是一家药剂学校，而是一所大学。
学业完成时他将获得一纸文凭，上面写的将是理科学士学位，而不会写“合格的捣药技术员”。
这一纸文凭不仅会证明他专修过药剂学，还会证明他受到过人类文明思想的熏陶。
也就是说，他进的不是一家技校，而是一所大学。
在大学里，学生既要接受专业训练，又要接受人文教育。
3 我本可以给他讲这一大通道理，但显然他在大学待不了多久，不会把我的话当回事。
4 不过当时我年轻气盛，责任感很强。
于是我就试着这么和他说：“在你日后的生活中，你一天的时间大概平均算下来是二十四小时，恋爱的时候会短些，失恋的时候会长些，但平均数基本上保持不变。
这中间有八个小时左右，你在睡觉。
”5 “然后在大概八个小时的每个工作日里，你会——但愿你会——努力从事有益的工作。
假设你已经上完药剂师学校，或工程、法律学校，或随便其他什么学校，在那八小时内你将运用你的专业技能。
你要做的是确保别因自己技艺不精而把氰化物掺进阿司匹林，或让公牛跃过你修建的篱笆，或因为你的无能而把你的委托人送上电椅。
这些都是有用的职业。
这些工作都需要人人应该尊重的技能，也能给你带来基本的满足感。
不说别的，很可能你要靠它们来养家糊口（换取餐桌的食物，养活你的妻子，养育你的子女）。

Cobra Cobras, found in some parts of Africa and Asia, are poisonous snakes. Most cobras bite their victims and their bite may cause death within a few hours. The king cobra, the largest of all poisonous snakes, may reach a length of 18 ft (5.5 m) and feeds chiefly on other snakes. When disturbed, it raises its hooded head to get a better view or to strike. Large individuals may raise themselves to a height of about 1 m (about 4 ft). The Indian cobra is usually 4-5 ft (1.2–1.6 m) long. The snake’s color ranges from yellowish to dark brown. It has a mark like a pair of spectacles on the back of its hood. It preys on rats and is therefore often found in houses. The Indian cobra and the Egyptian cobra are often displayed by snake charmers. The cobras appear to respond to the music played by the charmer, but, like all snakes, they are deaf and only follow the movements of the charmer.
