新标准大学英语四综合教程Unit1-6课文及翻译
If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracke d up to be. Twelve yearsat school and threeyearsat univer sity, teache rs bangin g on aboutopport uniti es in the big wide worldbeyond our shelte red life as studen ts, and what do I find?2 Try as I mightto stay cheerf ul, all I ever get is hassle, someti mes with people (especi allyboys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expens ive out here! Everyo ne wantsa sliceoff you. The Inland Revenu e wantsto deduct income tax, the bank manage r wantsrepaym entson my studen t loan, the landlo rd wantsthe rent, gas, water, electr icity and my mobile billskeep coming in, and all that's before I've had anythi ng to eat. And then some bright sparkcallsme out of the blue, asking if I'm intere stedin buying a pensio n. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alonetill I'm 60.3 I didn't really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropou t and I knew I'd have to some day. Accord ing to any number of people "life's not a picnic", "there's no such thingas a free lunch". But giventhat I'd got a good degree, I though t I'd like to go on to get my master's. Actual ly, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Econom ics (LSE) . Top school, very good for my CV. But I talked to my mum aboutit, and she said she couldn't afford to suppor t me any more. I kind of unders tandit, and not just becaus e my degree is in econom ics. She'd worked hard for 15 yearsto give me an educat ion. My dad wasn't around most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money. He'd spentit gambli ng on the dogs or down the pub. So it came to the pointwhenI just agreed with Mum, and bowedmyself toward s the inevit able.4 If you ask me, and despit e everyt hingyou hear, fortun ately thereare some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for exampl e. When I left univer sity, what I though t was that my mum wouldfeel oblige d to look afterme if I return ed home. So I packed up my belong ingsand went to London to get a job. I wanted someth ing in financ e and invest ments, becaus e you know, maybewith a job like that, I coulduse my degree. But by that time, therewere no jobs left, and I didn't really want to end up in some boring office, doingphotoc opies and making the tea.5 Go anywhe re you like in London and there's usuall y a good pub. The day I realiz ed no one in the city was goingto offerme a job, I went into The Salisb ury on Leaden hallStreet for a drinkand someth ing to eat. Mike the landlo rd was at the bar, pourin g pintswith one hand, making sandwi cheswith the other, and washin g the glasse s all at the same time—it's true, he really did seem to have threehands. He also seemed to know everyo ne, and greete d the regula rs by name, gettin g theirdrinks readywith the questi on, "The usualtoday, is it?" I though t he looked kind of cool, he was doingwhat he did best, servin g thirst y client s, and no one did it better. So I went up to him and askedhim whethe r therewas a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long storyshort, I starte d work in the pub one Friday lunchtime. It was quitedemand ing work, but I likedit. People seemed to find me amusin g and it made me feel better too. Therewas one middle-aged regula r in a suit who always had a half of bitter and a ham and pickle sandwi ch, with the crusts cut off. When I saw Tony coming, I triedto have his lunchreadyfor him even before he asked. He was anothe r one of thosereally nice people.7 If you ask me, spendi ng moneywhen you don't have any is dead easy. I beganto thinkabouthow I'd spendmy firstmonth's wages. The flat whereI was stayin g was expens ive, and I just abouthad enough to coverthe firstmonth's substa ntial bills. But I calcul atedthat there'd be just enough moneyover to treatmyself to someth ing. Why not get a CD or maybea plantto cheerup the flat? I though t.8 It was my birthd ay on pay day. Apartfrom Mike and Tony, I didn't have any friend s in London. Seeing that I didn't have a boyfri end either, you can unders tandwhy I beganto feel sorryfor myself. So I ordere d myself some flower s, and askedthem to be sent with a little card, saying "With all my love Anon." The highli ght of my birthd ay wouldbe the confus ed look on the floris t's eyes when he delive red them.9 Laterthat week, Tony came in as usualand sat down at the bar. "What's wrongwith you? Where's that smilegone today?" I talked to him about... well, aboutpretty well everyt hing, money, the master's, my birthd ay, the lot. He sympat hized with me.10 Tony got up from his stool, and went over to talk to some of the others. Rememb er: The Salisb ury is rightin the heartof the city, so all the custom ers were in bankin g or insura nce or the stockmarket. Next day he turned up with cheque s to the valueof £20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your busine ss. The only collat eralyou have is my trustin you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the financ e busine ss for you. But I thinkyou will."11 I didn't say anythi ng for fear that I was goingto cry. What were the odds on anyone beingso nice?12 And the flower s? I redire ctedthem to my mum, and they arrive d for her on my birthd ay. She deserv ed them, don't you think?13 If you ask me, lookin g back afterall theseyears, you only need one or two breaks in your life to succee d. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn't matter, it's stillworthit.14 Aftera year workin g at The Salisb ury, I got a placeat the LSE, did my master's and founda job in an invest mentbank. I invest ed the £20,000, and sold out before the 2008 crash. I paid back Tony and the otherinvest ors, with ten per cent annual intere st, and set up my own firm. It exceed ed all my expect ation s and is stilla thrivi ng busine ss.15 Tony wroteme a thank-you note. He'd been in a car accide nt, and couldn't walk. The moneyI paid back wouldallowhim to adapthis houseso he couldmove around it in his wheelc hair. This is what he wrote:16 "Thirty-five yearsin bankin g, and I've nevermade a better invest mentthan the loan to you. You've repaid the moneywith intere st, and my trustin you and your honest y 100-fold. If you ask me, invest ing in people givesthe best return you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right. What do you think?依我看依我看，现实生活并没有人们想象的那么好。

UNIT 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。
我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。
我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么？星期一早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。
“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？讲座进行了1个小时。
结束时我看了看笔记，我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
那个女生名叫苏菲，和我一样，也是英语文学专业的学生。

18那名女生名叫苏菲，和我一样，也是英语文学专业的学生。她看起来惊人地聪明。听完讲座后我们一起闲聊。她告诉我在间隔年里，她已经把这学期书单上的书全都读完了。她令人敬佩，我觉得自己太无知了，我甚至不配跟她呼吸同样的空气。
19妈妈打来电话，问我睡得好不好。
星期四
20今天有新生集会。苏菲和我跑去看我们能加入多少个俱乐部。我们俩都认为我们应该多结交朋友，所以我报名参加了交谊舞俱乐部、人工智能协会、手铃俱乐部和极限运动俱乐部。苏菲则报名参加了业余剧社和莫扎特合唱团。我不知道苏菲和我还能不能继续做好朋友。
23今晚学生会举办“社团之夜”晚会，可我已经没有干净衣服穿了。我可不清楚把脏衣服扔进脏衣篮之后到它们干干净净、熨烫笔挺并叠好放进衣柜之前都发生了什么。也许妈妈快来电话了。
新标准大学英语综合教程1答案及全文翻译第5单元
Key to Exercises NSCE Book 1Unit FiveActive reading (1)Reading and understanding4 Answer the questions.1 Why does Cathy ask if Nelly is alone?Because Cathy wants to talk to Nelly in private about a secret (Edgar’s proposal of marriage).2 Why does Cathy want to know where Heathcliff is?Because Cathy wants to make sure that she is alone with Nelly. She wants to talk about Edgar and Heathcliff, so she wouldn’t want either of them to hear the conversation.3 What news does Cathy give Nelly?Cathy tells Nelly that Edgar has proposed to her and she has accepted him.4 What does she want Nelly to tell her?She wants Nelly to say whether she should have accepted or refused Edgar’s proposal.5 What does Nelly think is the most important thing in a marriage?Love, so she asks whether Cathy loves Edgar as the first consideration.6 What happens in Cathy’s dream?She goes to heaven, but is broken-hearted to be away from home.

美国总统的住宅迄今为止，已有44人在白宫椭圆办公室履行了56届总统任期。
就在今年2月20日（星期一），我们马上要迎来又一个总统日，而且马上就要举行选举，值此之际，让我们一起看看在过去40年间我们国家最高领导人称之为“家”的地方是什么样子的。
贝拉克·奥巴马总统奥巴马一家于2005年6月以165万美元的价格购买了位于芝加哥肯伍德（Kenwood）社区格林伍德（Greenwood）大街5046号的一座6199平方英尺的双层独栋别墅。
其最终购买价低于别墅要价30万美元。
与此同时，奥巴马总统竞选支持者、商人安东尼·“托尼”·雷兹科（Antoin Tony Rezko）及妻子芮塔（Rita）以全价62.5万美元购买了紧邻奥巴马别墅的一块空地。
六个月后，奥巴马以10.45万美元的价格从雷兹科手中购进了部分空地。
（在一项联邦调查认定雷兹科犯有受贿罪后，奥巴马对《芝加哥太阳报》解释道：“尽管我竭力关注道德行为规范的特定要求，但我错误地预计了从雷兹科先生手中购买额外地产这件事所产生的社会影响，对此，我深表遗憾。
”）奥巴马位于格林伍德大街上的别墅最新估价约为119万美元。
乔治·沃克·布什乔治·沃克·布什和劳拉·布什从白宫卸任后，这对夫妇回到了普雷斯顿霍洛（Preston Hollow）社区，当布什还是德克萨斯州州长的时候他们一家就住在这里。
现在，布什一家的单层住宅位于达瑞亚（Daria Place）街10141号，面积为8501平方英尺，掩映在绿树丛中，外有大门守卫。
背朝布什官邸的是一处规模庞大的房产，该房产在《达拉斯月刊》的“达拉斯100处最贵房产”名单中名列榜首，估价为3914万美元，所有者是汤姆·希克斯（Tom Hicks'）控股公司。
该公司还拥有德克萨斯游骑兵棒球队（Texas Rangers）、达拉斯星辰冰球队（Dallas Stars）以及利物浦足球俱乐部（Liverpool Football Club）的股权。

新大学英语综合教程1-3单元课文翻译
Unit one 绿化，永无止境【1】环保主义思想已经深深的扎根于校园。
你可以看到环保运动已经蔓延到了全国，从加利福利亚大学戴维斯分校的“零浪费”运动场到纽约州瓦瑟学院07级学生献给学校的价值10000美元的太阳能电池板。
环保意识已经深入到同学们的内心，他们通过开展一些竞赛活动来推进回收再利用，并且大幅减少学生宿舍能源的使用。
学校里还开设了一些与环境相关的课程与专业，甚至还设立了一些奖学金。
这些新的举措是很有意义的。
高等教育明确定位，不仅是要为社会培养有环保意识的公民，还要培养环保工程师，环保建筑师和环保政策的制定者。
康奈尔大学的校长David Skorton说得好：“可持续发展势在必行。
”【2】想要寻找环保运动已经广泛开展的证据，只要关注全国各大学都热衷参与RecycleMania 竞赛就能找到答案。
2008年的冠军不是像哈佛和斯坦福大学这些以环保著称的著名学府，而是在密歇根州的一所微不足道的大学——卡拉马祖大学。
在十周的比赛中，卡拉马祖大学的同学们总共回收利用了59%的废物。
（哈佛是27%，斯坦福是30%）。
环保社团的成员们还开展了名为“宿舍风暴”的活动。
他们在每个寝室都埋伏了同学来专门观察和宣传那些减少浪费的行为。
他们还收集校内垃圾桶内的可回收材料——甚至运送塑料泡沫和废旧电脑到公司以便加工后再利用。
他们把废弃的书拆开来使得纸张可以再利用。
一些旧的椅子、杯子、扬声器和钢琴都在校园的二手货交易中重获新生，满屋子都是一些二手货，当然还是免费的。
【3】环保建筑也如春笋般突然出现在校园中，从杜克大学里带有环保屋顶的“智慧屋” （一间同时可作为绿色生活实验室的宿舍）到加州大学在默赛德新校区，那里的所有建筑都达到了美国绿色建筑委员会制定的标准。
缅因州的福尔曼大学也实施了一项最不寻常的计划。
在2008年6月，福尔曼大学与南方生活杂志协力创建了名为“绝壁村屋”的太阳能展示区。
它占地3400平方英尺，在将来也许会成为环保主义者的梦想住宅。

Ｕｎit 1 Groｗing Ｕｐ为自己而写——拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。
他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁,说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。
我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了,还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。
像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。
我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。
我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有一个吃起来得心应手的。
艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作一团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。

走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸，但我的注意力还是很集中。
再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了，它悬挂在远处，很诱人。
我的心在剧烈地跳动，口干舌燥，肾上腺素猛增。
童年的梦想就要实现了，这种感觉真是太奇妙了：令人非常兴奋，又胆战心惊。
我知道，为了确保能梦想成真我必须强迫自己超越已知的极限。
我极力保持镇静，告诫自己不要紧张，要坚持按原计划做，按自己的节奏跑。
我知道那些俄罗斯姑娘起跑很快——这场比赛我落后俄罗斯运动员叶莲娜·普罗科霍洛娃不能超过十秒。
如果我做到这一点，冠军就是我的了。
我望着四百米跑道的起跑点，屏住了呼吸。

我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。
我只要跑两圈就行了，就两圈。
跑完这两圈，过去两天以及28年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。
这一跑真是生死攸关。
我不断地告诉自己：也就是跑两分钟，谁都能跑两分钟。

Jo, San Diego3 How often do you buy clothes?I usually go clothes shopping at the weekend, although I don’t always buy anything. I probablybuy something once every two weeks.

Jaime, Lima8 Do you try to save money?Well, I try, but I’m not very successful! Judy, Sydney158Shop till you drop! Unit 6Active reading (1)1 Work in pairs. Discuss which kind of shopping you enjoy most.Examples:•going to the shopping mallI like going to the mall because it’s clean, modern and interesting, but sometimes things are moreexpensive.•home shopping on televisionI know the idea is that you see things on TV and then buy them by phone or email. It’s useful if whatyou see is exactly what you want, but remember those programmes are really just adverts.•online shoppingT his can be a good way to buy things at bargain prices. I know someone who actually makes money bybuying and selling on the Internet. However, you need to be careful with online transactions; sometimesthe goods never reach you.•mail order catalogue shoppingI’ve never done this myself, but I’ve heard that buying clothes and household items this way is reallyfast because a good mail order company sends things immediately. Sometimes what you get may notlook like the item in the catalogue photo, but it’s easy to return things you don’t like and get a refund.2 Read about the people below and decide if their behaviour shows retail therapy or shopaholism.1 S andra has an addictive desire to shop. Shopping gives her a sense of temporary satisfaction followedby a feeling of shame which can be relieved by going shopping again. She feels lonely and has low self-esteem, especially as she is spending too much money and is in debt.Sandra’s behaviour shows shopaholism. She seems to be a shopaholic.2 R ose goes shopping to make herself feel more cheerful, especially if she is feeling slightly depressed orunhappy. She has a pleasurable experience and feels better afterwards, and regards shopping as a bit likegoing to the doctor for some medicine.Rose treats shopping as retail therapy.159Unit 6 Shop till you drop!160Retail therapy or shopaholism?Background informationThis passage is a magazine or newspaper article for general readers. It focuses on shopping addiction – shopaholism – and its causes and effects. The term shopaholic is similar in word formation to the words workaholic and chocaholic, and shopaholism can be regarded as harmful. While many people like shopping and sometimes feel that shopping can be retail therapy when they are under stress, shopaholics can suffer severe financial and social-psychological consequences. The passage suggests some solutions and practical steps which shopaholics can take.Culture pointsYou get into debt by spending more money than you have; so you end up in debt and the debts may accumulate. You can get out of debt by paying off or repaying what you owe. If the creditors (the people or companies to whom you owe money) decide that you no longer need to pay, then the debt is written off, or cancelled. The 2008 “credit crunch”, in which American and European banks found they couldn’t pay their debts to other banks and had been over-lending by giving mortgages to people who did not have the means to pay, shows how heavily some Western societies have relied on systems of debt.Language points1 I get a real buzz when I hand over my credit card … (Para 3)The word buzz here means “a strong feeling of pleasure, excitement or achievement”, eg I get a real buzz out of travelling.2 ... but it’s not good when someone loves shopping so much that they go into debt or worse, bankrupt.(Para 4)G oing bankrupt means that someone – or a company – has officially admitted that they have no moneyand cannot pay what they owe. This is a serious situation in law. If they become solvent again, they can clear their debts. Notice some metaphoric uses: intellectually bankrupt (a person or group with poor ideas or lacking in real thought) and morally bankrupt(a person or society with very poor moral standards).3 Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment. (Para 5)Shopaholism refers to the general condition or “illness” of being a shopaholic – someone who enjoys going shopping even when they don’t need anything and cannot pay for what they buy. Sufferers may not recognize the effect of their shopping behaviour (they “avoid reality”), they cannot control their spending habits (“a loss of control”), but think they are free to spend the money they don’t have (“an illusion of freedom”). Shopaholism may bring a temporary feeling of well-being and distract the person from the worries or anxieties of everyday life, but sufferers often feel guilt or shame. Doctors and psychologists use the medical term oniomania to refer to shopaholism and they would advise the sufferers to be treated.4 … to shop till you drop … (Para 5)This means to keep on shopping until you are exhausted. Then you drop, or fall down.5 … they take it one day at a time. (Para 11)The expression take it one day at a time is used when you are in a difficult situation or have such severe problems that you can only plan and act for the present, and adopt the step-by-step approach.Shop till you drop! Unit 6Reading and understanding3 Answer the questions.1 What is unusual about Linda, Kate and Carina’s attitude to shopping?The scale of their shopping is unusual; they spend a lot on shopping.2 What are the dangers of shopaholism?The dangers are debts and eventual bankruptcy.3 Who does shopaholism affect?It can affect anyone, though it usually affects women.4 What are the causes for shopaholism?T he causes include the fact that shopping appears attractive and exciting, that many young people feelanxious and lonely, angry or lacking in love and in need of comfort. Also it’s easy to obtain credit.5 What should you do if you’re a shopaholic?F irst, you should admit that you have a problem and work out why you are shopping so much and whatis missing in your life to make you behave like this. Then you need to find an alternative activity whichgives you pleasure and take practical steps, like destroying your credit cards and only buying what’s onyour shopping list.6 Do Linda, Kate and Carina enjoy retail therapy or suffer from shopaholism?A ll the three of them enjoyed retail therapy at the beginning, but it has become a problem for them andhas developed into shopaholism.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 equal to something else in quality or importance (comparable)2 having no money and unable to pay what is owed (bankrupt)3 a strong feeling of wanting to have or to do something, especially something that is bad for you(temptation)4 a short journey that you take for pleasure (excursion)5 someone or something that is different in some way from other people or things and so cannot beincluded in a general statement (exception)6 the process of becoming fit and healthy again after an illness or injury (recovery)5 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in the box.1 When you buy clothes, there are often two labels, one which shows the price and the other, the makeand other information.2 When researchers claim something a fact, it’s because it’s true.3 Someone who is fashion-conscious likes to wear clothes which are very up-to-date.4 To do something with ease means doing it without any difficulties.5 Something which is the norm is usual or expected.161Unit 6 Shop till you drop!6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to makeother changes.1 When the three main symptoms of shopaholism are put together, it becomes an addiction. (combined)2 A rough guess at the amount of what Victoria Beckham spends on clothes every year is £100,000.(estimation)3 You may have a false impression of freedom when you’re a shopaholic. (illusion)You may have an illusion of freedom when you’re a shopaholic.4 Most people today consider it normal being in debt. (accept)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If you smile broadly, is your smile (a) very happy and wide, or (b) very small and quick?2 Is buzz likely to be (a) a pleasant, or (b) an unpleasant feeling?3 Is a mall (a) a department store, or (b) a large building with a lot of shops and restaurants?4 If you’re addicted to something, is it likely to be (a) good for you, or (b) bad for you?5 Is a mail order catalogue (a) a magazine for women, or (b) a magazine with photographs of things youcan buy by mail?6 If you take it one day at a time, do you do something (a) step by step, or (b) in one go?7 If you look for all the world like someone else, is it likely that you look (a) a little bit, or (b) exactly likethem?Reading and interpreting8 Work in pairs. Look at the sentences from the passage and decide if they show facts or opinions.1 “There’s nothing comparable to the feeling of power and importance I get when I go shopping.”(opinion)2 Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment. (fact)3 Research suggests that shopaholism is a global problem, claiming that 90 per cent of shopaholics arewomen. (fact)4 ... Victoria Beckham spends £100,000 yearly on shopping. (fact)5 But today it’s the norm to have a credit card, and it’s acceptable to be in debt. (opinion)6 What’s more, using a credit card doesn’t feel like spending real money. (opinion)Developing critical thinking9 Work in pairs and discuss the questions.1 Do you enjoy retail therapy, or have you ever experienced shopaholism? Do you know anyone who has?I enjoy retail therapy after exams, but I would rather call it “a celebration” after working hard for solong. I don’t know any shopaholics, but I have read about some. It seems they have a quite normal lifeand then suddenly go mad about shopping. I suppose they have too much stress.162Shop till you drop! Unit 6 2 Do you agree that it’s easy to get credit or borrow money today?Well, banks like to encourage people to use credit cards and to borrow money, because they then canmake money by charging you interest on what you borrow. But I don’t agree that it’s easy to get credit,at least it isn’t for students. Even if you can get credit the bank will give you a low credit limit so thatyou can’t spend too much.3 Who should take the responsibility for an addiction to shopping, the individual, the shop or theconsumer society?This is a complex question. The individual shopper is responsible, really, but addicts will always find itdifficult to control themselves. Shops may have some responsibility, but it’s the job of shop assistantsto encourage everyone to buy, so that’s what they do. The consumer society gives constant messagesthrough advertising and the media that it is good to have plenty of things, so people are encouraged tobuy. Perhaps we should be careful about these messages.4 Do you think that well-known people who spend a lot of money on shopping are attractive role models?I think if well-known people spend their money unwisely in public, they are surely not attractive rolemodels. We should make judgment by ourselves, instead of just following the well-known people.Talking pointWork in pairs and discuss the questions.1 How has the experience of shopping changed for people over recent years?When I talked to my mother about this, I realized that the experience of shopping in China is generallydifferent now compared to 20 years ago. There are more goods available, and much more choice (egdifferent kinds of food), and many shops are bigger, better and cleaner. We are a lucky generationbecause our parents worked hard for these things.2 How do assistants serve customers in supermarkets compared with traditional shops, eg a grocery?In supermarkets, an assistant usually serves only one person at a time. But traditional shops, eg agrocery, normally have fewer assistants, so an assistant may serve several people at the same time.3 How are goods presented in shops and markets?In Chinese supermarkets and shops, goods are normally presented on open shelves with prices on thewrapped goods or on the boards. This is very much the same in Western supermarkets or shops. Oneobvious difference between a Chinese and Western supermarket or shop is that there are more assistantsin a Chinese supermarket, perhaps because there are more people and customers in China.4 Do people say “please” or “thank you” when they go shopping?In Chinese, saying “please” or “thank you” is perhaps less common than it is in English for day-to-day shopping – this may surprise English speakers (or speakers of many European languages) who areused to using these expressions every time they go shopping. But visitors to China should not assumethat using fewer of these expressions means that Chinese people aren’t polite! There are many ways ofshowing politeness, apart from using these social formulae.163Unit 6 Shop till you drop!164Active reading (2)1 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 When you shop, do you prefer to go with someone or to go alone?If I am shopping for clothes, music or something like a camera or a mobile phone, then I would prefer to go with my friends, because they can help me to choose things. If I am shopping for food, then it doesn’t matter if I am alone, but still I usually go with friends.2 How often have you been shopping with a boyfriend or a girlfriend?Well, I don’t have a partner just at the moment. If I had, then I expect we would go shopping together quite a lot.3 Who likes shopping more, men or women?I think that generally women are more choosy and more patient than men, so women perhaps enjoyshopping more than men. On the other hand, I know some men who love shopping, so I suppose it may also depend on individual personality.4 What are the risks of shopping with someone who is not enjoying it as much as you are?The main risk is that they will become bored or impatient, so I would try to go to a shopping place where I know there will be something interesting to them.2 Read the passage and decide if:1 the writer is a man or a womanA woman, because the writer talks about women using “we”, but talks about men using “he” or “yourboyfriend”.2 the writer is addressing men or womenWomen, because the writer says “your boyfriend”, “You are the princess of High Street retail outlets, the Queen of the shopping mall!”, “trying on a new skirt” and “your poor, broken man”.How to shop with your boyfriendBackground informationThe style of the passage is that of a light-hearted magazine article for young women, which offers advice about shopping with men. The humour comes through the use of informal language, such as footie (football), telly (television), a chap (person / guy), yeah babe (yes, dear), and the exaggerated perception of shopping (for men) as an endurance test or a total waste of time, the far-fetched comparison between men and ancient hunter-gatherers, waiting outside the changing rooms as one of the most dangerous activities in the world, the colour which will provoke a citizen’s arrest, and chewing the carpet (this is not literal).The passage can be used for understanding the style of a magazine article and thus for learning different writing styles. This can be important for Ss in their future career if they need to write articles for different readers.Shop till you drop! Unit 6Culture pointsShopping is the general activity of going round different shops, looking at or looking for various things. This would normally include buying something, but not so if something is not available or you can’t find exactlywhat you want. So buying is usually, but not necessarily, part of shopping. Window shopping would normally mean just looking at items in the windows, even when the shops are closed. On the other hand, you can buy something without going shopping, eg through mail order, the Internet, or responding to a newspaper advert.In the passage, men prefer buying (they want a result), while women prefer shopping (the process of looking, searching, trying on and trying out).A league is a group of sports teams or players who regularly compete against one another, put in order according to how many points they have won. The Premier League in England is the group of the very best football teams (there are other groups in lower leagues). At the end of the football season, the team with the most points is at the top of the league and wins the Premiership Cup. Other European countries have similar systems, eg Series A in Italy.Language points1 … where we saw something fashionable or of incredibly good value … (Para 1)Something of incredibly good value refers to an unbelievable bargain.2 Men don’t get this. (Para 2)The word get here means “to understand something” in informal usage, eg Finally, I got the joke, I don’t get what you mean, or Oh, I see ... yes, I get it.3 It’s because he knows no one can shop single-handed. (Para 4)The expression to do something single-handed means that it is done by one person without help from anyone else. This joking comment implies that the boyfriend understands that women need someone to help them shop. They can’t go shopping alone because they need support.4 ... he’ll demonstrate his total conviction about your sense of fashion. (Para 5)The boyfriend will give favourable comments and support whatever his girlfriend likes or dislikes by talking about her sense of fashion. This will make her feel good, like the princess or the Queen.5 … the only answer is in the affirmative … (Para 6)The main idea of this paragraph is the humorous comment that the boyfriend will always agree with what his girlfriend likes, so ask him yes / no questions instead of either / or questions because he won’t want to risk disagreeing with his girlfriend by answering “No”.6 He won’t want you to be uncertain, because it will simply be confirmation of his expectations aboutwomen. (Para 8)He expects women to be uncertain – a stereotype – but he doesn’t want his girlfriend to be uncertain. He doesn’t want his girlfriend’s behaviour to confirm the stereotype.7 You see … (Para 9)This expression is used when you are explaining something.165Unit 6 Shop till you drop!166 8 Even you know the colour will provoke a citizen’s arrest or frighten the children when you walkdown the street wearing it. (Para 9)A citizen’s arrest is an arrest made by a member of the public, rather than by the police, who believessomeone has committed a crime and takes them to the police. This is humorous exaggeration: Wearing a bright colour is not actually a crime nor will it frighten children.9 … peer through the changing room curtains to try and spot him chewing the carpet ... (Para 10)The word chew means “to use your teeth to bite something into small pieces so that you can swallow it”.The exaggerated expression chewing the carpet gives an image of the boyfriend’s extreme boredom or frustration.10 … when he sees you, out of hearing, at the cash desk looking for all the world as if you’re about tobuy something. (Para 11)If you are out of hearing, you can be seen but not heard because you are too far away. The expression for all the world is used for emphasis, meaning “exactly as if”. The sentence means the girlfriend makes the boyfriend think she is buying the item of clothing, but actually she is just asking for a different size.11 … your man run the full range of human emotions from A to ... well, B. (Para 12)The expected expression here is “from A to Z”, meaning “through the entire range of emotions”. By saying from A to B, with the hesitation word well, the writer makes a joking critique of the range of emotions that men feel – very limited.12 “Oh, it’s just my luck.” (Para 13)This means “It’s bad luck”, which is said after something bad has happened because you think you are not a lucky person. This is similar to “It’s just my fate” or “It’s fate”, which is said as if you accept a difficult situation because you think you cannot change it.

新标准大学英语(第二版)综合教程 精读1 课后参考翻译
新标准大学英语综合教程1课后参考翻译Unit 1英译汉：T oday, a gap year refers mostly to a year taken before starting university or college. During their gap year, American students either engage in advanced academic courses or do some volunteer work to improve their knowledge, maturity, decision-making, leadership, independence, self-sufficiency and more, thus improving their résumés before going to college. British and European students, however, take a much more holiday-style approach to the gap year by generally working for 3–6 months and then travelling around the world before college begins. This is intended to expand their minds, personal confidence, experiences and interests prior to college. It is a much less structured approach than taken in the United States, and is generally viewed by parents as a formative year for young adults to become independent and learn a great deal of responsibility prior to engaging in university life.参考译文：如今，间隔年最为普遍的含义是指上大学前的一年。

UNIT 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。
我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。
我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么？星期一早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。
“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？讲座进行了1个小时。
结束时我看了看笔记，我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
那个女生名叫苏菲，和我一样，也是英语文学专业的学生。
她看起来惊人地聪明。
听完讲座后我们一起闲聊。
她告诉我在空档年( 高中毕业后等着上大学的一年) 里，她已经把这学期书单上的书都读完了。
她给我留下了深刻的印象，我觉得自己太无知了，甚至不配跟她呼吸同样的空气。
妈妈来电话问我睡得好不好。
星期四今天是新生集会（社团招新活动）。
我和苏菲跑去看看我们能加入几个俱乐部。
我们俩都认为我们应该结交很多朋友，所以我报名参加了交谊舞俱乐部、人工智能协会、手铃俱乐部和极限运动俱乐部。
苏菲则报名参加了业余剧社和莫扎特合唱团。
我不知道我和苏菲还能不能继续做好朋友。
妈妈来电话。
她告诉我哥哥曾试图把我在家住的那间卧室租出去。
妈妈向我保证只要我需要，那房间永远是我的。
她还说那是我的家，他们都非常想我，尤其是我的狗。
我一下子就哭了起来。
星期五早上我去了图书馆。
可是好像我需要一个能验明我身份的证件才能进图书馆。
不知为什么，我必须发誓不损坏书籍、不违反图书馆的规定，否则我就要被当作罪犯被送进监狱。
（什么！？就因为说话声音太大？）图书馆看起来很古老，学校以此为豪。
今晚有个迪斯科舞会，可我已经没有干净衣服穿了。
我只知道把脏衣服扔进衣篮中，但并不清楚衣服是如何洗净，熨平并叠好放进衣柜里的。
也许妈妈快来电话了。
适应校园生活——来自世界各地的访谈塔尼娅•扎茹茨卡娅莫斯科，俄罗斯去年的这个时候，我对新生活感到很紧张。
我没有朋友，也是第一次离开家。
一开始，我一天到晚都在忙功课：上课，并且学习到深夜。
可后来我意识到我错过了大学里许多其他活动。
一天，跟我住同一幢宿舍楼的一个女孩儿邀请全楼的人去参加一个晚宴。
我不知道她在哪儿买的那些吃的，也不清楚她怎么会有足够的钱。
而且她穿得像个模特儿。
我真不知道她干嘛还要费那劲儿上大学！现在我结识了许多有趣的人，既努力学习，也快乐地生活。
米古尔•方斯卡瓜达拉哈拉，墨西哥刚上大学的时候，我尽量把教授们在课堂上说的每一句话都记下来。
结果是我光忙着记笔记，都顾不上听讲了。
我现在学的是化学，现在学的东西似乎都比我们在中学里学的复杂。
不过我意识到，在大学里，你应该更多地去听、去思考。
现在，我已弄清新知识和过去所学知识之间的差别了。
弗兰辛•博内里昂，法国我刚来时，这所大学似乎很大，也很不友好。
一开始，我觉得很难适应缺乏指导的自由生活。
上中学的时候，我已经习惯了晚上做家庭作业。
如何使用每月的生活费也让我感到很头疼。
你得买食品、书、公交车票、衣服等东西，这和小时候在家花零花钱大不一样。
每学期的钱是一次性汇来的，所以一开始我总觉得手头相当宽裕。
然后我就大手大脚地花钱，搞到后来每天只能吃一个三明治！我现在认识到家长或老师不再有照顾我的责任了。
长这么大第一次，我该自己打理自己的生活了……可我却不知道该怎么办！UNIT 2第一只牡蛎“来，尝尝这个，这个好吃，”我父亲一边说一边在我的鼻子前晃动着一只牡蛎。
我皱起眉头，说：“我不吃，我不喜欢吃这个。
”“胡说，你没尝过怎么知道不喜欢吃。
” 他跟我论理，“把它放进嘴里，品尝一下大西洋的味道。
”我觉得他说得对，可是有时候有些东西你只要看一眼就知道喜不喜欢。
坦率地说，我觉得牡蛎看起来挺恶心的。
这座饭店坐落在法国一个著名的海滨旅游胜地。
这时侍者不仅端上了一瓶放在冰篮子里的白葡萄酒，还端上一客份量极大的海鲜——螃蟹、对虾、大龙虾及各种贝类，都堆在一起。
我母亲正忙着购物，于是我父亲就决定带我——他十岁的儿子——去吃午饭。
他要让我体验生命里一个重要的事件，一件对我父亲来说与成年一样重要的事：我的第一只牡蛎。
世界上第一个吃牡蛎的男人到底是怎么想的呢？我说“男人”是因为女人肯定不会这么傻吧？“唷，我有点饿了，我们来瞧瞧这个石坑……嗯，我觉得它看起来挺好吃的！”好像不太可能。
父亲的话听起来更像是男生式的挑战。
“来，你尝尝这只牡蛎，我来尝尝这块油滋滋的咸肉三明治，让我们看看谁玩得更开心！”外面，天空灰蒙蒙的，海面上刮来一阵强风。
天气看起来和我的心情一样阴郁。
没有希望，只感觉饿，只担心失去纯真，因为我意识到这第一只牡蛎我今天得非吃不可了。
“我能吃炸鱼和薯条吗？”我满怀希望地问。
我突然觉得想家，想吃我最爱吃的饭菜。
“当然不行！他们这儿没有炸鱼和薯条，只有这地方最上等的海鲜，在这方圆几英里之内你找不到更好的海鲜了。
”他边回答边给自己又倒了一杯酒。
“好啦，别抱怨了，就给我尝一只牡蛎，然后你就可以吃些好吃的、顺口的东西，比如对虾加黄油面包，” 他提议说。
吃了这么长时间的饭，他的话里第一次有了妥协的意思。
但是，尽管清晰地感觉到了他的妥协——只有一个十岁的男孩才有这样的感觉，我仍然明白这妥协包含着吃掉那只牡蛎，那只放在我父亲的盘子边上的牡蛎。
我父亲继续吃着那一堆海鲜。
他盘子放着一大堆被丢弃的龙虾爪，盘子边上放着一套工具，用来敲开蟹壳，剔出哪怕一丁点儿的蟹肉。
他每吃一口就停一下，举杯喝一口酒。
他时不时地在我眼前晃动着那只牡蛎，逗弄我吃了它，但却什么也没说。
我只是绝望地看着我的空盘子。
我想着我最爱吃的东西——我母亲做的点心，一滴泪静静地顺着面颊淌了下来。
终于，我父亲又拿起那只牡蛎，我知道这下全完了。
我用拇指和另一只手指把牡蛎拈起来送到嘴边。
父亲说：“把它吸进嘴里，先含着，尝尝盐和海水的味道，然后再咽下去。
吃完了，我给你点你爱吃的东西。
” 他的语气更亲切了些，因为他知道他赢了。
我按照他说的吃掉了那只牡蛎。
牡蛎滑溜溜的，那味道是我从未尝过的，打那以后也没再尝过。
我父亲看着我，似笑非笑，好像在说：“怎么样？”我咽下去的时候，他举杯对我说：“干杯！”我终于赢得了他的爱和尊重。
但从那以后，我再也没吃过牡蛎。
世界各地的街头小吃“快餐”这个词通常会让人想起汉堡包和薯条。
我们会想到送到现代市民手中的过度包装、却并不健康的饭菜。
而人们也只是把食物当作聊以充饥的东西，而不是可以享用的美食。
事实上，快餐并不是现代社会的产物。
到世界上任何一个地方旅游，你都会看到街头小贩的身影，听见他们卖各式各样的地方小吃的吆喝声。
这些小吃通常都是用几样当地的基本配料加工而成，现场制作，立等可取。
商业化的快餐制作采用工业化的加工程序，用现成的配料大量烹制，然后重新加热。
不管你到世界的哪个地方吃麦当劳，食物的味道都是一样的。
而街头小吃在多数地方都是现场烹制的。
你只需闻着香味，一边看一边等着小贩给你准备新鲜的小吃。
尽管在一些地方卫生条件差强人意，但因为食物一般是高温快速烹制的，吃起来基本安全。
从亚洲的面条摊到遍布中东地区的路边香炸豆丸(falafel) 摊，每个大陆都有传统的街头小吃。
在日本，乘坐新干线上下班的人在上车前会停下来买一盒便当。
在东南亚地区，推车沿街叫卖加香烤肉(satay) 的人不仅吸引当地人，也吸引旅游者。
在印度，随处可见一种叫做恰特（chaat）的用各种配料做成的香辣杂拌。
与商业化的快餐不同，街头小吃是在街上买的。
其浓郁的地方风味和极具地方特色的配料总是让旅游者感到新奇有趣。
UNIT 3独立思考直到现在，独立思考仍然是一种激进的行为。
独立思考本该是一种普遍的行为，而事实却并非如此。
我们社会的每一次重大进步都源于独立思考。
然而，在大多数的生活圈子里，尤其是那些影响我们一生的地方——家庭、学校以及大部分工作场所——人们都对独立思考持怀疑态度。
有些机构甚至故意压制独立思考。
在有些人看来，那是一件危险的事情。
在一个晚会上，当一位客人问起我酝酿中的一本书的主题时，我再次想起了这个令人悲哀的事实。
我告诉他那本书谈论的话题是大家可以互相帮助，培养独立思考的能力。
“天哪，”他说，“我不认为那有什么好，我更喜欢服从命令的人。
”后来，我才知道他是一家大公司的第四代掌门人，而那家公司是世界上最大的石油公司之一。
“……在我们周围逐渐创建出一个模型环境，使各个层次的人都有独立思考的空间。
”你最后一次看到包含上述字眼的机构愿景陈述是在什么时候？还有，上一次有人问你：“你能跟我说真心话吗，真心话？”然后等着你做出翔实、充分的回答是在什么时候？缺乏独立思考对我们来说是司空见惯的事情。
很少有人被鼓励去进行独立思考，更谈不上接受相关的训练。
他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。
而且老师、父母和老板的老师、父母和老板也是如此。
（我们可能早就知道应该尊敬像苏格拉底那样的思想家，可是我们也知道，因为独立思考，他所在的城邦毒死了他。
这可绝不是给予他的毫无保留的支持与鼓励。
）可是，我们偶尔也会遇到真心想培养我们独立思考的老师或导师。
他们让我们对独立思考的重要性有了浅略的认识。
13 岁时，我上了一门高级代数课。
授课的老师由于要求学生思考而背上了难缠的恶名。
第一天上课时，老师站在黑板前面说：“在你们面前的纸上写出一个数字的和。
”全班35 个少男少女全都瞪大了眼睛看着她。
她重复了一遍指令：“写出一个数字的和。
