新概念第三册课文翻译及学习笔记【Lesson43、44、45】【课文】Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay.It is not uncommon to hear that a ship ping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique.Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held alittle party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water.The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish.Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish. They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it outof the water proved to be a serious problem. The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal,but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water.The men were now obliged to try once more. This time theyfixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so thatthey could fasten the chains. The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side ofthe canal. The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck. Several minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface of the water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that itset up a huge wave in the canal. There was danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and sendthe dish plunging into the water again. By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned.【课文翻译】保险公司一般说来愿意承保一切东西。

新概念英语第三册第45课:The power of the pressLesson 45 The power of the press新闻报道的威力 Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Does the writer think the parents where lucky or unlucky to gain prosperity in this way? Why?In democratic countries any efforts to restrict the freedom of the press are rightly condemned. However, this freedom can easily be abused. Stories about people often attract far more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful whether we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves. Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.The story of a poor family that acquired fame and fortune overnight, dramatically illustrates the power of the press. The family lived in Aberdeen, a small town of 23,000 inhabitants in South Dakota. As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty. They were expecting their sixth child and were faced with even more pressing economic problems. If they had only had one more child, the fact would have passed unnoticed. They would have continued to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity. But they suddenly became the parents of quintuplets, an aeroplane arrived in Aberdeen bringing sixty reporters and photographers.The rise to fame was swift. Television cameras and newspapers carriedthe news to everyone in the country. Newspapers and magazines offered the family huge sums for the exclusive rights to publish stories and photographs. Gifts poured in not only from unknown people, but room baby food and soap manufacturers who wished to advertise their products. The old farmhouse the family lived in was to be replaced by new $500,000 home. Reporters kept pressing for interviews so lawyers had to be employed to act as spokesmen for the family at press conferences.

新概念英语第三册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson45【课文】
In democratic countries any efforts to restrict the freedom of the press are rightly condemned. However, this freedom can easily be abused. Stories about people often
attract far more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful whether we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves. Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals
by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.
The story of a poor family that acquired fame and fortune overnight, dramatically illustrates the power of the press. The family lived in Aberdeen, a small town of 23,000 inhabitants in South Dakota. As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty. They were expecting their sixth child and faced with even more pressing economic problems. If they had only had one more child, the fact would have passed unnoticed. They would have continued
to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity. But they suddenly became the parents of quintuplets, four girls and a boy, an event which radically changed their lives. The day after the birth of the five children, an aeroplane arrived in Aberdeen bringing sixty reporters and photographers.
The rise to fame was swift. Television cameras and newspapers carried the news to everyone in the country. Newspapers and magazines offered the family huge sums for the exclusive rights to publish stories and photographs. Gifts poured in not only from unknown people, but from baby food
and soap manufacturers who wished to advertise their products. The old farmhouse the family lived in was to be replaced by a new $500,000 home. Reporters kept pressing for interviews so lawyers had to be employed to act as spokes-men for the
family at press conferences. While the five babies were still quietly sleeping in oxygen tents in a hospital nursery, their parents were paying the price for fame. It would never again
be possible for them to lead normal lives. They had become
the victims of commercialization, for their names had
acquired a market value. Instead of being five new family members, these children had immediately become a commodity.
【课文翻译】
在民主国家里，任何限制新闻自由的企图都理所当然地受到谴责。
不过，这种自由很容易被滥用。
常人轶事往往比政治事件更能引起公
众注意。
我们都喜欢看关于别人生活的报道，但是否同样喜欢看关于
自己生活的报道，就很难说了。
记者按事实至上的论点行事，发表相
关别人生活的细节，有时会给当事人造成极大的痛苦。
新闻具有巨大
的威力。
它们不但能够给寻常人家的生活带来重大的变化，甚至还能*
一个政府。
下面这户穷人一夜之间出名发财的故事戏剧性地说明了新闻报道
威力。
这户人家住在南达科他州一个人口为23，000 的小镇上，镇名
为阿拜丁。
家里已有5个孩子，全家人常年在贫困中挣扎。
第6个孩
子即将问世，他们面临着更为严峻的经济问题。
如果他们只添了1个
孩子，这件事本来就不会引起任何人的注意。
这家人会继续为克服经
济上的拮据而奋斗，并默默无闻地活下去。
但是他们出人意料生了个
五胞胎，4女1男。
这事使他们的生活发生了根本的变化。
五胞胎降生第二天，一架飞机飞抵阿拜丁，随机带来60名记者与摄影师。
这个家迅速出了名。
电视摄像机和报纸把消息传送到全国。
报纸、杂志出高价向他们购买文字、图片的报道权。
不但素昧平生的人寄来
了大量的礼物，而且婴儿食品、婴儿肥皂制造厂商为了替自己产品做
广告也寄来了大量的礼物。
这家人住的旧家舍将由一座价值50万美元
的新住宅所取代。
因为记者纷纷要求会见，他们不得不请了律师充当
他们家的发言人举行记者招待会。
眼下，五胞胎还静静地躺在医院婴
儿室的氧气帐里，他们的父母却为这名声付出了代价，他们再也无法
过正常的生活。
他们成了商业化的受害者，因为他们的名字具有了市
场价值。
这些孩子立即成了商品，而不是5个新的家庭成员。
