Information Related to the TextConfuciusConfucius (traditionally September 28, 551 B.C.E. –479 B.C.E.) was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese thought and life.His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. These values gained prominence in China over other doctrines, such as Legalism (法家) or Taoism (道家) during the Han Dynasty(206 B.C.E. –220 C.E.). Confucius' thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism (儒家). It was introduced to Europe by the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci, who was the first to Latinize the name as "Confucius."His teachings may be found in the Analects of Confucius (论语), a collection of "brief aphoristic fragments", which was compiled many years after his death. Modern historians do not believe that any specific documents can be said to have been written by Confucius, but for nearly 2,000 years he was thought to be the editor or author of all the Five Classics (五经),such as the Classic of Rites (礼记) (editor), and the Spring and Autumn Annals (春秋) (author).2. Introductory RemarksA traveling teacher, a wise sage, the ideal man---such was the conception of Confucius developed by his admirers after his death. During his life, however, it did not seem as though Confucius would attain the high status eventually bestowed upon him. Who would have guessed that this poor vagabond who had failed as a statesman would eventually be called the most influential man in thehistory of China? Y et his life and teaching would affect the social and political fabric of the Asian world for centuries to come.Confucius was a man who lived a simple life, teaching all the people he could his ideals and moral code, a code which many people adopted years after his death known as Confucianism. Though Confucius never wrote down a single word of his beliefs and teachings, we can understand and know his thoughts from the books his disciples wrote, the Analects, and in understanding his life and beliefs, we can see what an impact this great man left on the world.3. Language Points1. …his success and failure were largely due to his character, which had an everlasting impact on Chinese intellect.due to: 由于,因为e.g.--- Due to circumstances beyond our control the lecture was cancelled.由于无法控制的情况,讲座取消了。

According to him, in aplural/pluralistic society, there will inevitably be different opinions.

For instance, you might well commit an error in judgment if you went by appearances only with people like Edward Hyde Burton, the character created by Maugham. As far as appearance and manners were concerned, Burton seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes. Kind, gentle and candid, he was described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth. Nevertheless, he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help. He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Turner's death.

TranslationThere is no question that today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, to possess more, and to become a success. Workaholism, amodem addiction, has thus arisen. The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working longer hours and completing more projects, we will enhance our self-worth.Many women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities. Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to labor longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.UNIT7VocabularyI. 1. 1) faxed 2) boom3) jogs 4) contending5) span 6) hiking7) pertinent 8) adolescents9) tags 10) weaves11) all of a sudden 12) statistical13) string 14) disapproving15) recurs2. 1) had backed up 2) went off3) is held up 4) settle for5) be laid up 6) strike out7) reflect on 8) applied for3. 1) The infant mortality rate is very high in the poorest areas of Africa.2) Why pay a repairman when we can fix it by ourselves for nothing?3) It was unusual that John was among the few who arrived early at yesterday'sparty, for which he was praised by the hostess.4) These old houses need a lot of maintenance whatever the cost.5) Looking out of the window we found the lake (was) enveloped in thick fog.4. 1) He pondered for a few moments before he made up his mind to fax Bill thestatistical evidence that could be used to back up his argument.2) It takes much imagination to realize how these ordinary working womenskillfully weave such beautiful and unusual patterns in fabrics.3) I recently got a thorough maintenance check on my new Buick for nothing fromthe car dealer from whom I bought it about half a year ago.II.

大学英语阅读教程Unit7howtobeascientist全文翻译
大学英语阅读教程Unit7howtobeascientist全文翻译第一篇:大学英语阅读教程 Unit7how to be a scientist全文翻译How to be a scientistGina KolataAsk most people – even students majoring in science – to describe the typical life of a successful scientist, and chances are they will describe a dedicated existence: long hours in the laboratory, toiling alone among racks of test tubes and beakers.But researchers say that nothing could be further from the truth.Indeed, they say, the irony is that to succeed in science, most people have to leave the lab completely.Leading biologists and chemists say they spend no time in the laboratory.Instead they write grant proposals, travel and give talks on their group‟s research;they think up ideas for their staff of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to work on, and try their best to motivate and encourage staff members to be creative and productive.Dr.Shirley, Tilghman, a molecular biologist at Princeton University, says that most people have no idea of the skills needed to succeed in science.“I get these undergraduates in my office saying they are trying to decide between medicine and science,” Dr.Tilghman said.“They say, …I really want to go into medicine because I want to be involved with people.‟ I just say, …my God.‟ The extraordinary thing about being a principal scientific investigator is that I should have been a psychology major.I do nothing but try to motivate people, try to figure out why they‟re not working hard.Most of biology is a profession where success depends to a large extent on how you work with people.”Some researchers say that the most valuable course work forscientists may not even be science.Dr.Ponzy Lu, a chemist at the University of Pennsylvania, says his worst memories of his days as an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology were the humanities courses he and every other science major were forced to take.“We hadto write 500 to 1,000 words a week in essays,” Dr.Lu said.“I wasn‟t good at that kind of stuff.”But as soon as he become a successful scientist, Dr.Lu said he found that rather than puttering around the laboratory conducting experiments, he had to spend his time writing grant proposals, meeting deadlines.Dr.Lu said, writing “is about all I do.” And the dreaded essay writing at Cal Tech was “the most useful thing I learned.” Some scientists are delighted to leave the laboratory and find that they can finally shine when they are judged by their ideas and their administrative skills.Yet even people who feel this way are often loath to admit it, Dr.Lu said, because it is part of the mystique of science to say you love the lab.“It‟s like Jimmy Carter saying he lusted after women,” Dr.Lu said.“You can get in a lot of trouble saying things like that.”But no matter what they think of laboratory work, most researchers say that it was not until they were in graduate school, well on their way to becoming scientists, that they realized what the career path actually is.Dr.Kenneth Gross, a molecular geneticist at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., remembers well his epiphany.It happened when he was a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.One day, Dr.Gross was working happily in the lab next to a postdoctoral fellow, Dr.Arthur Skoultchi, who is now at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.Full of enthusiasm, Dr.Gross said, he remarked that “the most incredible thing is that hey paid you towork in a lab.” Dr.Skoultchi, he said, replied, “Enjoy it while you can,” and explained to Dr.Gross what lay ahead.Young scientists move up the ladder from graduate student to postdoctoral fellow to assistant professor to, they hope, recipient of a federal grant.From then on, their time in the lab rapidly dwindles to nothing.Dr.Lu explained that it was not so surprising that most successful scientists ended up as thinkers rather than doers.“That‟s the whole problem with big science,”he said.“You have to have an army of people to do the work.” But, he added, “Part of what makes a person become a scientist is the desire for influence and power.And the only way you can have that is to have a group of people working on your ideas.”A typical research group at a leading university has about a dozen people, paid for mainly by grant money either from the federal government, private groups like the American Cancer Society or companies, that the principal investigator raises.Dr.Lu said that although his salary is paid by the university, he must bring in $300,000 a year to run his lab.This includes paying for equipment and paying the budding scientists who perform the experiments.Graduate students earn about $12,000 a year, some of which, is paid by fellowship;the rest comes from grant money.Postdoctoral fellows receive about $20,000 a year.Some scientists run huge groups that have budgets equal to those of small corporations.Dr.Jerome Groopman, an AIDS researcher at Brigham and Women‟s Hospital in Boston, said his group of about 50 people had an operating budget of $2 million a year.“It‟s clearly a major problem for a lot of people,”said Dr.Tom Maniatis, a molecular biologist at Harvard.“Nowhere in your education are you trained to be a manager or administer.Suddenly you are faced with writing grants andkeeping track of spending.But the most difficult challenge is managing people.I don‟t think scientists are prepared to do that at all.”From the new york times , april4,1993.怎样成为一名科学家问大多数人来形容一个成功的科学家的典型生活,和机会,他们将在实验室中描述了一个专用的存在:时间长,独自之间的试管和烧杯架劳作。

必修二Lesson1虚拟空间的未来彼得·泰勒发现计算机和因特网将会怎样影响我们的生活。
近三十年来,因特网以惊人的速度发展着,1983年,仅有200台计算机连接到因特网,现在已发展到五千万台,而且显然还在继续发展着。
有些专家对未来感到悲观,其中一种担心是网络犯罪,现在,年轻的黑客们已经可以进入银行及政府的计算机系统,将来,网络恐怖分子可能会“攻击”全世界的计算机,制造混乱,引发飞机和炎车事故。
但是,很多人对因特网的未来还是持乐观态度的,现在,人们已经可以在网上购书,查找节日特惠信息,预定票务,并从网上获取各种各样的信息。
《网络世界》杂志的安杰拉·罗赛托说:“显然,未来几年中我们会看到网上购物迅猛发展。
”她还确信,我们将来可以在网上进行娱乐活动,而且那时电视将很可能不复存在,随着电子邮件的发展,邮政服务也很可能消失。
有些专家在虚拟现实中看到了我们的未来,运用计算机产生声音和视觉效果,使你感觉好像就生活在现实中一样。
澳大利亚专家彼得·安德森说:“我个人认为,虚拟现实会成为现代生活的一部分,我看到人们正在虚拟世界里生活,工作,我们将来会在虚拟办公室工作,在虚拟超市购物,甚至在虚拟学校学习。

Human curiosity was never to be satisfied with; it would only constantly look for new targets. As the third moon landing human (and the first to fall on the moon), Conrad knew well that the target of people would change frequently. Since Armstrong and Aldrin took the first moon landing the award, there was no more concern about Apollo 12. Conrad later appeared in an advertisement for American Express. All those who showed up are some forgotten American celebrities, including cartoon rabbit elder brother's voice MEL Blanc. However, from many aspects, the lunar flight in which Conrad involved was the most interesting among Apollo lunar exploration plans. For example, Bean, with whom Conrad landing on the moon, was the most talented among astronauts, but he worked hard and maked up intelligence by diligence. When Bean finally ascended the surface of the moon, he threw away the silver NASA wearing badges, because he knew that walking on the moon would mean he had won a gold medal. However, when they flew back to the earth, Bean directly told Conrad how disappointed he was about the moon. He said,” I feel a little bit like songs ‘aren't just expressed’ in the feeling’”. Here we haveconcluded a timeless truth, that is: achievement itself is not important, the important thing is for you to pay efforts.Part V English-Chinese Translation1.“移居中国吧!”我北京的新朋友黛西曾在MSN(微软即时通讯软件)对话中打出了这样一句话。

动物真的有思想,即我们所说的意识吗?在考虑是否会有比设计教动物人类手势语的实验更好的方式探索动物智能时,我悟出了现在看来是显而易见的一点:如果动物能思维,它们会在能为自己所用的时候,而不是在科学家让它们思维的时候作出最佳思维。
2 And so I started talking to vets, animal researchers, zoo keepers. Most do not study animal intelligence,but theyencounterit, and thelack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal what I'mconvincedis anew window on animal intelligence:于是我开始与兽医、动物研究人员以及动物园饲养员交谈。

应用翻译实践L7-英汉翻译常用方法和技巧:增词删词及合并法
增词法
增词法就是在翻译时按照意义上(或修 辞)和句法上的需要增加一些词来更忠 实通顺地表达原文的思想内容。 增词不是无中生有的增加,而是增加原 文中虽无其词但有其意的一些词。
There were no speeches, no foreign diplomats, no “ordinary Chinese” with flags and bouquets of flowers. 没有发表演讲,没有外交使节到场,也没有老百 姓挥舞彩旗盒花束的场面。 They had been through it all by his side—the bruising battles and the humiliation of the defeat— until at last in 1945, they were able to savor the sweet taste of triumph. 他们始终站在他的一边,经历过残酷的厮杀,忍 受过失败的羞辱,终于熬到了1945年,他们才 尝到了胜利的甜头。
汉译英中的减词译法
1 省略范畴词 汉语中倾向于使用范畴词,如“现象”、“水平”、 “问题”、“状态”、“情况”等。这些词本身没有 实质意义,汉译英时可以省去不译。 中国足球的落后状态必须改变。 (The state of ) backwardness of Chinese football must be changed. 科学家与环保人士担心全球变暖的问题。 Scientists and environmentalists are concerned about (the problem of ) global warming. 必须清楚政府中的腐败现象。 We must clear away (the phenomena of ) corruption in the government.

Lesson 101. How could I describe to him the estrangement I’d always felt from the kind of traveler who visits shrines to America’s past greatness, those rebuilt forts with muskets behind glass and sabers mounted on the walls and gift shops selling maple sugar candy in the shape of Indian headdresses, those reconstructed villages with tables set for fifty and the Paul Revere silver gleaming?2. I felt myself grow insignificant in that room, with its huge semicircular windows, its air,even in dereliction, of solid and official probity.3. She must have watched the New Y ork skyline as the first- and second-class passengers were whisked off the gangplank with the most cursory of inspections while she was made to board a ferry to the n ew immigrati on cen ter.

单译醇北大英语The pursuit of excellence in language proficiency is a hallmark of academic institutions worldwide, and Peking University stands as a shining example of this commitment. At the heart of this endeavor lies the Single Translations program, a unique initiative that has gained recognition for its innovative approach to English language education. This essay delves into the significance and impact of this program, shedding light on its transformative power and the invaluable opportunities it presents to students.Peking University, renowned for its rich academic heritage and global influence, has long been at the forefront of language education. The Single Translations program, introduced as a strategic component of the university's comprehensive language curriculum, aims to equip students with a profound understanding and mastery of the English language. This program is designed to address the inherent complexities and nuances of translation, recognizing that the ability to convey meaning across linguistic barriers is a vital skill in today's interconnected world.The core premise of the Single Translations program is to provide students with an immersive and rigorous training in the art of translation. Unlike traditional language courses that focus on broad linguistic competencies, this program delves deep into the intricacies of translating a single text from one language to another. By meticulously analyzing and deconstructing a selected work, students gain a keen appreciation for the subtleties and challenges that arise in the translation process.The program's pedagogy is rooted in the belief that by honing their skills on a single text, students can develop a heightened sensitivity to the linguistic and cultural nuances that shape the translation landscape. This approach encourages students to grapple with the complexities of syntax, semantics, idioms, and cultural references, fostering a nuanced understanding of how language is shaped by context and perspective.One of the hallmarks of the Single Translations program is the emphasis on collaborative learning and peer-to-peer engagement. Students work in small groups, engaging in dynamic discussions, and sharing their unique insights and interpretations of the selected text. This collaborative environment fosters a culture of intellectual exchange, where students challenge each other's assumptions, explore alternative perspectives, and refine their translation skills through constructive feedback.The program's curriculum is designed to be both rigorous and adaptable, allowing for the incorporation of diverse literary genres and subject matter. From classic works of fiction to highly specialized technical documents, the selected texts provide students with a broad exposure to the multifaceted nature of translation. This breadth of content ensures that students develop a versatile skill set, preparing them for the diverse translation demands they may encounter in their future academic and professional pursuits.The impact of the Single Translations program extends beyond the classroom, as its graduates have gone on to make significant contributions in various fields. Many alumni have secured prestigious positions as professional translators, interpreters, and cross-cultural communication specialists, leveraging the deep linguistic insights and cultural awareness they acquired during their time in the program.Moreover, the program's influence extends to the broader Peking University community, where its pedagogical approach has inspired the development of similar initiatives across different disciplines. The emphasis on meticulous analysis, collaborative learning, and the cultivation of nuanced linguistic understanding has become a model for enhancing academic excellence and fostering global-minded graduates.One of the most remarkable aspects of the Single Translations program is its ability to transcend the boundaries of language and culture. By immersing students in the intricacies of translating a single work, the program cultivates a deep appreciation for the diversity and richness of human expression. Students learn to navigate the intricate web of linguistic and cultural differences, developing a heightened sensitivity to the complexities that shape our global landscape.Beyond its academic merits, the Single Translations program also serves as a testament to the transformative power of education. By empowering students to engage deeply with language and translation, the program cultivates critical thinking skills, fosters intercultural understanding, and prepares graduates to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.In conclusion, the Single Translations program at Peking University stands as a shining example of the university's commitment to excellence in language education. Through its innovative pedagogy, collaborative learning environment, and diverse curriculum, the program equips students with the linguistic expertise and cultural awareness necessary to excel in a global context. As the program continues to inspire and transform lives, it serves as a model for language education programs worldwide, demonstrating theprofound impact that can be achieved through the pursuit of linguistic mastery.。

取胜于象牙塔之外
1. 象牙塔正在坍塌。
预备终身职位短缺现象(一度以为只是暂时现象)未来一段时间都难有改善。
最近的研究表明,那些可能获得终身职位的人,斗志正在急剧下降。
而大批工资偏低,劳累过度的助理教授正在悲观地重新定义“精神生活”。
之所以不选择离开学院,源于同辈竞争的压力依然是主要原因。
对于年轻的学者来说,离开几乎永远象征着某种个人失败。
俗话说,大浪淘沙,剩下的才是金子。
2. 离开五年了,我不再相信这样的泛泛之论有半点用处或道理。
离开自然有充分的理由,我的理由就很有说服力。
我当时面临的最大的难题是,我的博士学位及学术经历在学院外有何价值。
那么多年,埋头苦读超小字号的大部头,教导学生如何构思论文,以及各种学术献媚,在现实世界里有何价值吗?
3. 起初,博士头衔着实是种负担。
站在大街上,手里拿着新做的一页长的简历,貌似对于所有能提供给我的职位而言,我都大材小用了。
为了一展自己的分析技能和批判思维,我在营销、公关、政府、公众策略、纸媒、有线电视、企业传播等领域寻寻觅觅,而潜在的雇主们看不出我的学术特长在“现实世界”中有何用武之地。
对研究生院的导师们我内心里有一种模糊的负罪感,总觉着辜负了他们的期望,但这于事无补。
实际上,他们跟学术界外的人既没有交情,也不想帮我在那些行业找到工作。
4. 在商界,制胜的法宝是人脉,最重要的信息是通过人而不是文本传播。
此前十年间,我与之打交道的几乎无一例外都是学者,所以我必须从零开始建立一个非学术关系网。
我打了无数个电话,做了多次职业访谈,终于见到了一位电信公司的主管,他给了我在公司实习的机会,对一个有文科博士学位但“现实世界”经验有限的人来说,这可能算得上最好的起点了。
5. 令人高兴的是,结束了在那个公司的实习之后,我在一个迅速发展的与科技相关的领域里找到了一份全职工作,而后又有机会写一本关于技术与商业的书。
我进入美国商界的路径使我得以按照自己的设想创建了开放流动,独一无二的事业。
奇怪地是,我在“外边”做的越成功,我的博士学位就在别人眼中貌似更有价值。
6. 要想干好,我必须先把我的博士学位和与之相随的思想体系放到一边。
渐渐地,我摸清了如何与新同事沟通,如何让我的技能在行内得到认可。
公司同事喜欢和我一起做项目,因为我能推波助澜,让球“越过球门线”。
我擅长“解决问题”,以“受众为中心”,以“客户为导向”。
在他们看来。
除了一个重要的事实,我为完成研究生的学业所做的每一件事看起来都既无必要也没意义。
那个事实就是:我花了好几年的时间努力思考,把我的头脑锻炼成了一块结实的小肌肉。
7. 但是别上当。
要实现任何意图和目的,你必须从头来过,去学习一门全新的语言和一套全新的规则。
第一条规则就是要避免让人觉得“太过学术”。
学术界造就的沉默寡言,用词客气,深思熟虑,在商界却象征着优柔寡断,缺乏兴趣。
商界的通行之道是广交朋友,果敢自信,能言善谈,敬业投入。
我的第一位项目主管看到我犹豫不前,对我说:“上!加入论战!”这颇具讽刺意味。
在研究生院时,恰恰因为我这样做了,一位初级教员当众批评我,让我安守本分,不要自以为是。
实习才两周,我又得倒转过来。
8. 第二条规则: 记住,商界成功人士必须深谙如何推销、劝说、不停地推销和劝说。
要迅
速判断阻力,然后积极应战。
尽管有时我还想回归到安全的办公室里,写文章,给下一次的学术会议投稿,但现在不能了。
我也不能像过去那样对着一群人说话,好像我有超人的知识智慧与权威——过去我对学生、我的教授对我就是这么说话的。
商界人士的沟通方式实际上比学术界要圆滑、民主、辩证的多。
必须承认,要做好实在不易.
9. 我的博士论文指导老师曾告诫我,在公司里工作,不仅意味着离开思想界,也意味着进入“一片充斥着道德低劣思想贪婪的小丑的知识沙漠。
”好吧,我承认他天生爱夸大其词。
但博士阶段的一切确实让相信事实确实如此。
我们花大把时间润饰关于资本主义现代性的论文提纲,却不知其到底为何物。
一跨出学院大门,我发现商业“文化生活世界”要比批评理论家想象的自我的多,自律的多。
若非如此,像Peter Drucker, Peter Senge, George Gilder, Geoffrey Moore和Tom Peters这些人士不可能成为畅销书作家。
商业高管受到业内人士如Paul Hawken,Jack Stack,商学院教授/工作顾问如Rosabeth Moss Kanter,Gary Hamel 及Dorothy Leonard-Barton的口诛笔伐。
我将商界人士所著的和为其所著的大部头摆上书架,放在学术著作的旁边。
虽然我曾经教过组织传播学,当时对存在着如此广泛的内在批评竟一无所知。
这让我得出了第三条规则:查找并了解新进领域内的有趣的思想家。
这样的人很可能存在,而你学界的朋友们却可能从未听说过他们。
10. 然而,书本在商界可没有在学界那么重要。
规则第四条:商界所学大都源自非正式对话,当面的也好,电话或电邮也好。
这正是为什么商界人士如此努力地建立人际联盟网络和跨组织“实践共同体”的原因之一。
商界人士读书为的是搜集用以会话的信息,推进学习交流,解决实际问题。
读华尔街日报为的是可以谈论和批评华尔街日报。
这样,回到工作中才有共同语言。
11. 我很感激那些教授我行业规则(以及潜规则)的人,因为公司工作是一场棘手的秀。
没有多少资源可以浪费,没有多少机会可以重来。
在市场中,现实的偶然性太显而易见了:消费者的口味在不断变化,监管规则在变化,股票分析师情绪在摇摆,技术的进步日新月异。
所有这些因素让我们的工作充满了乐趣。
因此,你必须审时度势,密切关注变革之力。
讨论时,你要用坚实的论据支撑论点。
数据从来不是孤立的,也没有一刻不需面对异议。
12. 学者们也许会对此嗤之以鼻,但商界确是思想家的珠穆朗玛峰。
商界提供了一个最为紧张、动态的持续学习环境。
这里也是变化的核心、中心,是物理学,计算机编程,数学,法律,动画,音乐和制造业交汇之地。
商界也是唯心主义和唯物主义频繁辩证交锋的主战场。
商界环境也会不择手段,不近人情。
由于节奏快,满足消费者需求的压力大,人们经常在尚未看到其他方案,或仔细考量所选方案的潜在后果之前,就匆忙做出决定。
显然,商界需要更多的思考者。
13. 鉴于以上原因,我确信从事教学的人—尤其是人文学科的教授们—无论是从道义上还是伦理上讲,都有义务谈谈他们的课程内容、课外作业,和“现实作业”有何关联。
令人震惊的是,一些教授仍在为他们的课后作业辩护,声称“这会帮助你成为一个理性思考者,广开思路,让你攀上人生高峰”。
让我们紧扣现实吧。
当今科技为动力,全球联动的经济正以超高速发展,生存和成功的一切旧规都正在经历重写。
