Unit1 My FatherI don't really know my father. He isn't easy to get on with. He's quite self-centred, and a little bit vain, I think, and in some ways quite unapproachable. The public must think he's very easy-going, but at home he keeps himself to himself.He can't have been at home much when I was a child, because I don't remember much about him. He's always been slightly out of touch with family life. His work always came first, and he was always off somewhere acting or rehearsing. He loves being asked for his autograph, he loves to be recognised. He has won several awards, and he's very proud of that. He was made a Member of the British Empire, and we had to go to Buckingham Palace to get the medal. It was incredibly boring. There were hundreds of other people getting the same awards, and you had to sit there for hours. He shows off his awards to whoever comes to the house.I went to public school, and because of my total lack of interest and non-attendance I was asked to leave. I didn't want to go there in the first place. I was taken away from all my friends. He must have been very pleased to get me into the school, but in the end it was a complete waste of money. I let him down quite badly, I suppose. I tried several jobs but I couldn't settle down in them. Then I realised that what I really wanted to do was live in the country and look after animals, so that's what I now do.As a family, we're not that close, either emotionally or geographically. We don't see much of each other these days. My father and I are totally different, like chalk and cheese. My interests have always been the country, but he's into books, music and above all, opera, which I hate. If they do come to see us, they're in completely the wrong clothes for the country-mink coats, nice little leather shoes, not exactly ideal for long walks across the fields.He was totally opposed to me getting married. He was hoping we would break up. Gerald's too humble, I suppose. He must have wanted me to marry someone famous, but I didn't, and that's all there is to it. We don't want children, but my father keeps on and on talking about wanting grandchildren. You can't make someone have children just because you want grandchildren.I never watch him on television. I'm not that interested, and anyway he usually forgets to tell me when he's on.我实在不了解我的父亲，与他相处很难。

大学英语综合教程3课文翻译第一课：生活中的困扰原文：Living With RegretRegrets. We all have them. They can range from minor inconsiderate acts to major life-changing decisions. But no matter the scale, regrets serve as a constant reminder of our past mistakes and missed opportunities.Regrets often stem from our desires to change the past. We wish we had made different choices or taken different paths. We dwell on what could have been, rather than accepting what is. This obsession with the past can hinder our ability to live in the present and enjoy the opportunities that await us.Living with regret can be a heavy burden to carry. It weighs us down emotionally and mentally. We constantly replay the past in our minds, seeking to find a different outcome and trying to understand how things could have been different. This constant rumination can lead to feelings of guilt, sadness, and even depression.Regret can also have a negative impact on our relationships. If we are constantly dwelling on past mistakes, it can prevent us from fully engaging with others in the present. We may be hesitant to form new relationships or trust others, fearing thatwe will make the same mistakes again. This fear and hesitancy can limit our social connections and prevent us from experiencing the joys of deep and meaningful relationships.So how do we break free from the grip of regret? It starts with acceptance. Accepting that we cannot change the past, no matter how much we wish we could. We must forgive ourselves for our mistakes and learn from them. It is through learning and growth that we can move forward and create a better future.In addition to acceptance, it is important to focus on the present moment. By practicing mindfulness and being fully present in our daily lives, we can let go of the past and embrace the opportunities that come our way. Life is constantly changing, and if we are too focused on what has already happened, we may miss out on the beauty of what is happening right now.Regrets are a natural part of life, but they do not have to consume us. By accepting the past, focusing on the present, and learning from our mistakes, we can live a life free from the burden of regret.翻译：带着遗憾生活遗憾，我们都有。

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)课文翻译Lesson 1 FriendshipFriendship is one of life's most important treasures. Friends bring us joy, support, and understanding. They are there for us in good times and bad, and they help us grow and become better individuals.In this lesson, we are introduced to the concept of friendship through the story of Damon and Pythias. Damon and Pythias were two loyal friends who lived in ancient Greece. When Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he was sentenced to death. However, Damon offered himself as a hostage so that Pythias could go home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius was skeptical of Damon's loyalty and gave him a deadline. If Pythias did not return by the appointed time, Damon would be executed in his place. Despite the risk, Pythias returned just in time to save his friend's life. The tyrant was so moved by their friendship that he released Pythias and allowed the two friends to continue their bond.The story of Damon and Pythias teaches us about the importance of loyalty and sacrifice in friendships. True friends are willing to go to great lengths to help and support each other. They are selfless and put the well-being of their friends above their own.Friendship is not only based on loyalty and sacrifice but also on trust and understanding. Friends should be able to confide in each other and know that their secrets are safe. They should also be able to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's difficult. When trust and understanding exist within a friendship, it becomes a safe haven where individuals can be themselves without fear of judgment.Lesson 2 SuccessSuccess means different things to different people. For some, success is measured by wealth and material possessions. For others, success is achieving personal goals and finding fulfillment in life.This lesson introduces us to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack, a poor boy, was given magic beans in exchange for his family's cow. These beans grew into a giant beanstalk that reached the sky. Jack bravely climbed the beanstalk and discovered a giant's castle where he found treasures and riches beyond imagination. Jack's journey represents the pursuit of success and the willingness to take risks.Success requires determination, hard work, and a positive mindset. It involves setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. Along the way, there may be obstacles and setbacks, but successful individuals persevere and stay focused on their objectives.Success is not solely measured by material wealth but also by personal growth and self-fulfillment. It's about finding happiness and contentment in one's achievements and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.课后答案Lesson 1 Friendship1.

全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: The World of WorkPart 1: The Changing Nature of WorkThe world of work is constantly evolving, and it is important for individuals to adapt to these changes. In today's fast-paced society, the traditional notions of work are being challenged, and new opportunities are emerging. This unit explores the changing nature of work and its implications for individuals and society.1.1 The Traditional 9-to-5 JobTraditionally, work was often characterized by a 9-to-5 job in a fixed location. Employees would commute to an office or a factory, and their work would be structured around set hours. This model provided stability and a sense of routine for many individuals. However, with advancements in technology and globalization, this traditional model is no longer the only option.1.2 Flexible Work ArrangementsToday, flexible work arrangements are becoming more common. People have the opportunity to work remotely, choose their own hours, and even become self-employed. This flexibility allows individuals to better balance their work and personal lives. However, it also presents new challenges, such as the need for self-discipline and the blurring of boundaries between work and leisure.1.3 The Gig EconomyThe rise of the gig economy is another significant change in the world of work. In this model, individuals take on short-term or freelance jobs, often facilitated by online platforms. This provides them with more autonomy and the ability to pursue multiple income streams. However, it also means less job security and benefits compared to traditional employment.1.4 The Importance of Lifelong LearningWith the changing nature of work, the importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated. Individuals need to continually update their skills and knowledge in order to remain competitive in the job market. This includes developing new technological competencies and adaptability to navigate future changes in the workplace.Part 2: The Impact of Work on Identity and Well-beingWork plays a significant role in shaping individual identity and overall well-being. How individuals perceive their work and the meaning they derive from it can greatly impact their satisfaction and happiness.2.1 Work as a Source of IdentityFor many people, work is not just a way to earn a living but also a source of identity and purpose. The type of work one engages in can be closely tied to personal values and ambitions. However, it is important to recognize that work should not be the sole determinant of a person's self-worth. Finding a balance between work and other aspects of life is crucial for overall well-being.2.2 Work-Life BalanceAchieving work-life balance is a constant challenge in today's connected world. The boundaries between work and personal life can easily blur, leading to increased stress and burnout. Employers and individuals need to actively promote strategies and policies that enable employees to have a healthy integration of work and personal life.2.3 The Pursuit of Meaningful WorkMany individuals strive to find work that is not only financially rewarding but also personally fulfilling. Meaningful work gives individuals a sense of purpose and satisfaction. This can be achieved by aligning personal values and passions with one's chosen career path.2.4 Work and Mental HealthThe relationship between work and mental health is complex. While work can provide a sense of structure and purpose, it can also contribute to stress and anxiety. Employers and society as a whole need to prioritize mental health support in the workplace and foster a culture that promotes work-life balance and overall well-being.ConclusionThe world of work is undergoing significant changes, requiring individuals to adapt and embrace new opportunities. The impact of work on identity and well-being cannot be underestimated. It is crucial for individuals, employers, and society to work together to create a more balanced and fulfilling work environment. By recognizing the evolving nature of work andaddressing its challenges, we can create a future where individuals find meaning and satisfaction in their careers.。

新一代大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译UNIT 12、Indeed, we might feel as if we are suddenly awash in friends. Yet right before our eyes, we're also changing the way we conduct relationships. Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a circles of friends are being partially eclipsed by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Amid these smaller trends, growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society Perhaps to a dark place, one where electronic stimuli slowly replace the joys of human contact.确实如此,我们似乎感到突然之间好友数量井喷;不过,我们眼前也正在改变为人处世的方式;面对面的聊天正在被短信取代；相比打个电话,人们甚至更愿意使用这些电子交流方式;脸谱网上的熟人圈儿动辄数百人,相比之下,现实生活中规模较小的朋友圈则显得黯淡少光;在这些较细微的趋势中,越来越多的研究表明友谊的整个概念正在遭受危机,而我们也许正在一步步地迈向这个危机时代;所有这一切要把现代社会引向何方也许现代社会就此陷入黑暗深渊,在这个深渊里,人与人之间交往的乐趣慢慢地被电子诱惑所取代;8、No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, say, or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others. How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job当然,这并不是某个人的错;如今,交友压力来自方方面面;比如来自工作压力,或是整天瞎忙,无法和他人享有高质量的沟通时间;有人嘴上说友谊是生命中最重要的东西,却为了一份收入颇丰的工作远赴千里之外;这样的人还少吗9、Of course, we learn how to make friends — or not — in our most formative years, as children. Recent studies on childhood, and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships, are illuminating. Again, the general mood is one of concern, and a central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called "unstructured time."当然,我们是在性格成型的最重要的孩提时期学会如何结交朋友或是如何断交;最近,关于儿童期和儿时生活对交友的影响的研究很有启发性;这些研究再一次关注了风气这个问题,其主要结论都与孩子缺少“计划外时间”有关;10、Structured time results from the way an average day is parceled up for our kids — time for school, time for homework, time for music practice, even time for play. Yet too often today, no period is left unstructured. After all, who these days lets his child just wander off down the street But that is precisely the kind of fallow time so vital for deeper friendships. It's then that we simply"hang out," with no tasks, no deadlines and no pressures. It is in those moments that children and adults alike can get to know others for who they are in themselves.“计划内时间”源自每一天的时间安排方式,何时上学,何时完成家庭作业,何时进行音乐训练,甚至何时玩耍,一股脑儿的塞给孩子;然而,再寻常不过的是,没有任何一个时段是没有安排的;毕竟,现在谁还会让自己的孩子在街上闲逛呢但是,恰恰就是这种“无所事事”的时间对于深厚的交情至关重要;在这个时间段,我们只是闲逛,没有任务,没有最后期限,没有任何压力;就在这些时候,孩子也罢,成人也罢,才能真正了解同行之人; 12、Aristotle had an attractive expression to capture the thought: close friends, he observed, "share salt together." It's not just that they sit together, passing the salt across the meal table. It's that they sit with one another across the course of their lives, sharing its savor — its moments, bitter and sweet. "The desire for friendship comes quickly; friendship does not," Aristotle also remarked. It's a key insight for an age of instant social connectivity, though one in which we paradoxically have an apparently growing need to be more deeply connected.亚里士多德曾经这样表达此意,妙不可言;他说,亲密的朋友,是“一起吃盐的朋友”;他并不是说朋友们坐在一起,在饭桌上把盐传来传去;他的意思是朋友们共享人生经历,分享各种滋味,苦的,甜的;亚里士多德还说过“交友的想法常常匆匆而至,但是真正的友情往往姗姗来迟;”这对于当今这个时代来说是一种重要的真知灼见;因为,在这个时代里,虽然人们能迅速建立关系,不过我们反倒越发觉得需要更深一步结识他人; UNIT 26、With persistence and practice, such a process can lead to lasting results.I know one Wall Street executive who sought to improve his empathy –specifically his ability to read people’s reactions and their perspectives. Before beginning his quest, the executive’s subordinates were terrified of working with him. People even went so far as to hide bad news from him. Naturally, he was shocked when finally confronted with these facts. He went home and told his family –but they only confirmed what he had heard at work. When their opinions on any given subject did not mesh with his, they, too, were frightened of him.只要坚持并不断实践,这样的过程能够带来持久的结果;我认识一位华尔街的主管,他想方设法提高自己的同理心;具体一点就是读懂对方的反应,了解对方的看法;在开始努力寻求改变之前,这位主管的下属惧怕与其一起工作;人们甚至对他隐瞒坏消息;最终面对这些情况时,他自己自然大吃一惊;回家后,他告诉家人——但家人更肯定了他在单位听到的一切;无论什么话题,如果家人的观点未能与之吻合,他们也会害怕他;7、Enlisting the help of a coach, the executive went to work to heighten his empathy through practice and feedback. His first step was to take a vacation to a foreign country where he did not speak the language. While there, he monitored his reactions to the unfamiliar and his openness to people who were different from him. When he returned home, humbled by his week abroad, the executive asked hiscoach to shadow him for parts of the day, Several times a week, in order to critique how he treated people with new or different perspectives. At the same time, he consciously used on-the-job interactions as opportunities to practice “hearing” ideas that differed from his. Finally, the executive had himself videotaped in meetings and asked those who worked for and with him to critique his ability to acknowledge and understand the feelings of others. It took several months, but the executive’s emotional intelligence did ultimately rise, and the improvement was reflected in his overall performance on the job.这位主管向私人教师寻求帮助,他回到工作岗位,通过实践和别人的反馈来提高自己的同理心;首先,他到一个语言不通的国家去度假;在异国他乡,他审视自己面对不熟悉事物的反应以及对异族人群的开放性;返回家乡时,一周的国外生活已使他丢掉了所有的高傲,这位主管让私人教师一周跟踪自己几天,每天跟踪自己几个时段,以此评价自己对持新观点或不同观点人的态度;同时,他还有意识地利用工作现场与人交往的机会来实践“倾听”异己观点;最后,主管还让人拍摄他开会时的表现,让下属以及合作伙伴评价自己承认并理解他人感情的能力;这个过程持续数月,但最终,主管的情商确实提高了,并在他的整体工作表现上体现了出来;8 It’s important to emphasize that building one’s emotional intelligence cannot –will not –happen without sincere desire and concerted effort. A brief seminar won’t help; nor can one buy a how-to manual. It is much harder to learn to empathize – to internalize empathy as a natural response to people – than it is to become adept at regression an alysis. But it can be done. “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. If your goal is to become a real leader, these words can serve as a guidepost in your efforts to develop high emotional intelligence.需要强调的是,没有真诚的愿望和竭尽全力的付出,培养情商是不可能的,也不会有结果;一场简短的研讨会起不了作用,实用操作手册也无法买到;要使同理心内化为对别人的一种自然反应,才算是获得了同理心,这比擅于回归分析要难得多;但获得同理心也是能做到的;拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生写道：“没有热情,就不可能取得任何伟大的业绩;”如果你的目标是成为一位真正的领袖,这句话可以激励你不断努力,提高情商;UNIT 32、First, science is practiced by special people with a specific view of the world. Scientists try to be objective, unsentimental and unemotional. They do not let their feelings get in the way of their observations of real things, facts, as they call them. They often work in laboratories or in other areas where they can carefully control what they are working on. They do not just wander out onto the dock at sunset and look at the world with wonder, as a poet might. Ideally, they are also both honest and check them out and then utilize them in their findings so others can check them out and then utilize them in their own work. They do not claim more than they can prove, and often even less. But they are very proudof their calling and prefer to talk to other scientists rather than anybody else, especially poets, who tend to make them feel uncomfortable, to put them down.Of course poets also feel scientists return the favor.首先,从事科学工作的是特殊的一类人,他们具有特定的世界观;科学家努力保持客观、理性,不感情用事,不会让感情妨碍他们观察他们所说的实物和事实;科学家常常在实验室或者他们能够严格控制研究对象的场所工作;他们不会像诗人那样,在日落时去码头闲逛,惊奇地观赏这个世界;典型的科学家既朴实,又谦恭;他们总是尽量客观地汇报他们的科学发现,以便别人能够证实并在工作中加以运用;他们不会对自己不能证明的事物妄加断言,甚至常常连自己能够证明的也不去多说;然而,他们对“科学家”这一称谓引以为傲,更喜欢彼此相互交流,而不太愿意和其他人交流,尤其是和诗人,因为诗人总让他们感觉不自在,且常贬低他们;当然了,科学家在诗人眼里也不过如此;3、Second, science deals almost exclusively with things, not ideas or feelings, and with the external world and its workings, not inner states and their workings, despite the effort of some psychologists to be or seem scientific. The human body is considered to be or seem scientific. The human body is considered to be a part of the external world; the soul is not. Therefore, scientists work to understand the body but not the soul. Most scientists doubt the soul exists. The solar system and the universe are also part of the external world, although we have little enough direct evidence of their mode of existence. Scientists tend to assume the basic conditions of nature on Earth are the same everywhere in the cosmos.其次,科学的研究对象基本上仅限于事物,而非思想或者情感,仅限于外部世界及其运作,而非内在状态及其运作,尽管一些心理学家也试图让自己的工作具备或者显得有科学性;人体被认为是外部世界的一部分,而人的灵魂则不然;因此,科学家探索的是人的肌体,而不是灵魂;大部分科学家怀疑灵魂的存在;太阳系和宇宙也是外部世界的一部分,虽然我们没有充足的直接证据来证明它们的存在模式;科学家往往认为,地球上自然界的基本状况无论在宇宙的何处都是一样的;4、Mankind is only questionably part of the external world in this sense. Scientists are generally reluctant to deal with the behavior of large groups of men and women. Thus economists, for example, struggle to be considered scientists, but usually in vain. The external world of scientists contains some things, like quanta, quarks and quasars, that are as mysterious as angels and normally as invisible. But this does not trouble them, as they believe they can deal effectively with the elementary particles that they cannot see and according to the uncertainty principle never can see, but not with angels, which will probably never appear to scientists because scientists do not believe in them. 从这个意义上讲,把人类归为外部世界的一部分是有争议的;科学家一般不愿意研究大量人群的行为;因此,举例来说,尽管经济学家努力想被当作科学家,却通常徒劳无果;科学家所关注的外部世界包括具体事物,比如量子、夸克、类星体,它们像天使一样神秘,通常是肉眼看不见的;但是这并没有使他们苦恼,因为他们相信自己能够有效地研究基本粒子,虽然他们看不见这些粒子,而且根据不确定性原理,他们永远也看见它们;但是科学家却不能有效地研究天使,因为他们不相信天使的存在,天使可能永远不会出现在科学家面前;6、Third, science deals with whatever it deals with in a special way, employing special methods and a language for reporting results that is unique to it. The best-known method, but not necessarily the most often employed, consists of experiment, Which involves getting an idea –from where, most scientists do not question –framing it in a testable hypothesis, and then testing the hypothesis in a controlled environment to find out whether or not is id valid. The environment must be carefully controlled so that extraneous elements do not intrude to invalidate the experiments, and so that others can repeat the experiment in the hope of arriving at the same result, which is the best evidence of its reliability.第三点,科学使用一种特殊的方式研究一切可研究的对象,那就是采用特殊的研究方法和其独特的语言来描述结果;最为人熟知而又未必最常用的方法是实验,包括产生一个想法大部分科学家不关心这一想法从何而来,把想法拟定为一个可测试的假设,然后在一个可控环境中测试这个假设,检验它是否成立;实验环境必须严格控制,一是为防止外界因素侵扰而使实验无效,二是为其他人能够重复该实验以期获得相同结果,这是实验可靠度的最佳证据;10、Science was the major discovery, or invention, of the 17th century. Men of that time learned – and it was a very great, revolutionary discovery – how to measure, explain and manipulate natural phenomena in the way that today we call scientific. Since the 17th century, science has progressed a great deal and has discovered many truths, and conferred many benefits, that the 17th century did not know. But it has not found a new way to discover natural truths. For this reason, the 17th century is possibly the most important century in human history. It instituted irrevocable change in the way human beings live on Earth. We can never go back to living the way we live in the Renaissance, for instance. We can only wonder whether the change was in all ways for the better.科学是17世纪的主要发现或者发明;那个时代的人们发现了如何用我们今天称之为科学的方法去测量、解释和利用自然现象这是一个非常伟大的、突破性的发现;17世纪以来,科学取得了巨大的进步,发现了很多真理,带来了大量惠泽,这些在17世纪都不为人所知;但是自17世纪之后,科学并没有找到新的方法来发现自然真相,因此,17世纪或许是人类历史上最重要的世纪,它为人类在地球上的生活方式带来了不可逆的变化,比如,我们永远不可能回归文艺复兴时期的生活方式;我们只能自问这种变化是否会让一切变得更加美好;UNIT 4As a national landmark6 作为国家的标志性建筑,大屠杀国家纪念馆遵循美国的理想化模式,即多元化理念,对大屠杀进行解读;因此,如纪念馆理事会所言,大屠杀“在枪响之前就已经开始,对犹太人、持不同政见者、黑人、吉普赛人和残疾人进行迫害;随后愈演愈烈,纳粹开始把一部分人群从人类大家庭中分离出去,剥夺他们工作、学习、旅游、信仰宗教、提出理论或传授价值观的自由;这个纪念馆将证实失去生命本身正是失去人权的最后一步;”大屠杀被定义为对美国人权法案的终极践踏和对多种族的迫害,它包含了移民们来美国寻求庇护的所有原因,无论是过去的移民,现在的移民,还是将来的移民;The us holocaust7美国大屠杀纪念馆通过清晰地阐释非美国式价值观来定义美国价值观;如一为专栏作家所言美国大屠杀纪念馆会提醒世人那“大洋彼岸的愤怒”,亦会定义美国在“此岸”和“彼岸”的巨大空间中的存在;实际上,矗立在国家广场上的纪念馆不仅记录了大屠杀的历史,也铭刻了与之截然相反的美国理想;通过铭记发生在另一片土地上的另一个民族的暴行,美国人民将回想起他们这个民族对生命存在意义的理想解释;Memory of historcal8 对历史事件的记忆以及对记忆的叙述一直是犹太人的信仰、传统和身份的核心部分;把自己定义为以背诵的方式缅怀历史的民族后,犹太人继续依赖回忆而维系自己的民族身份;一直以来,把背景各不相同的美国犹太群体凝结在一起的唯一一段“共同”经历就是对大屠杀的间接记忆;无论犹太左翼或右翼,宗教团体或世俗社会,复国主义者或非复国主义者,或许均可从大屠杀得出不同的结论;但是,从意识形态上讲,即使大家的目的截然不同,他们还是一致认为必须铭记这段历史;因此,尽管犹太人走读学校、研究机构和社区中心赤字运行,但数以百万计的美元仍持续不断地投入到大屠杀纪念项目和博物馆建设; By extension,holocaust9 大屠杀纪念馆的作用也在延伸,它正逐渐成为历史教育、社会活动和集资的中心;因此,美国很多犹太人和非犹太人通过大屠杀这一镜头来学习整个犹太历史,而不是通过研究犹太历史来了解大屠杀;在没有其他类型的犹太文化博物馆的情况下,大屠杀纪念馆和博物馆往往通过围绕这一时代来构建犹太文化和身份;因此,大屠杀不仅会继续是美国犹太人意识的中心,也会承载所有美国非犹太人对1000年前欧洲犹太文明的了解;UNIT 5China is the1当今世界,中国是最重要的正在崛起的大国;20年来,中国已从国际体系的边缘走到了中心;无论何时何地,中国都广受全球关注;环顾四周,中国总是出现在新闻报道里——大量消耗资源,大量吸引外资,扩大海外足迹,与亚洲邻国相处时坚持自己的主张,在国际治理外交中是广受欢迎的追随对象,开拓海军新水域,扩大在全球媒体中的关注度和文化存在感,经营作为全球发展引擎的强大经济体;在世界各大洲,在大部分国际机构和许多国际事物中,人们都能感受到中国对全球的影响与日俱增;多种评估显示,中国目前显然是继美国之后的世界第二大国,其经济总量将在2025年前后超过美国;For the past2 过去的30年,观察家们已经看到世界对中国的影响；而现在局面扭转,人们有必要了解中国对世界的影响;中国正在更快、更广地出现在世界舞台上,理解中国走向世界的各种表现因此变得重要;China global expansion3 中国的全球发展不是偶然的;直接起因是在1978年12月召开的着名的十一届三中全会上制定的中国共产党和政府二等政策,即开始进行改革开放;在整个20世纪80年代,中国“把世界请进来”,并开始迈着迟疑的步伐出现在世界舞台上,特别是在教育和科技流域进行交流;20世纪90年代初,中国政府有意识地出台政策,鼓励中国贸易公司“走出去”,同时让地方和机构逐渐地“走向世界”;对中国公司的鼓励直到21世纪中期才完全实现;与此同时,许多中国机构、地方和个人发起并实施了大量的国际计划;2008年,中国推行全球大规模文化行动,试图改善中国的国际形象,构建软实力;军事上,中国人民解放军在这一时期加快了国际对外交流,年交流项目超过400多个;因此,即使中国走向世界是最近几年的事,其起源却可以追溯到几十年前;Over a longer4在较长一段时期内,中国现代化使命的一个突出特点是国家追求综合国力的提升;中国人民通过学习其他强国的经验,非常明智地学到了重要的一课：真正的国际大国拥有多方面的实力;中国的战略家们已经意识到那些只在一个或几个方面拥有实力的国家的弱点,并从而得出结论：重要的是在各个方面,即经济、科学、技术、教育、文化、价值观、军事、治理、外交和其他领域建设和发展综合实力;中国坚信国力应该是综合的、一体化的,而不是原子式的;当今的国力和19世纪或20世纪的国力不一样;那时工业力量和军事力量占主导地位,而现在的国力必须也体现出强大的文化和规范实力即软实力;所以,为了重新取得全球大国的地位,中国在当代有意识地作出了多方面的努力;UNIT 7The decline of4苏门答腊犀牛数量减少是一个渐进而微妙的过程,而不是突发性或灾难性的,比起心脏病发作式的晕厥,它更像是癌症后的病态;这正是物种消亡的经典模方式;在历史的进程中,苏门答腊犀牛的行踪遍布从印度的丛林经过缅甸和越南,然后向南穿过马来西亚半岛,到达婆罗洲的整个地区;一百多万年前,他们应该熟悉脑袋较小的人类祖先直立人,因为直立人也从大陆的中西部进入东南亚热带地区;也许这些早期的人类曾经猎杀过苏门答腊犀牛,但是他们原始的工具以及犀牛栖息地的隐蔽性使他们很难猎捕到犀牛;由于苏门答腊犀牛难以猎捕,且栖息地荒蛮,直至进入人类历史时期以后,在其大部分的活动区域内,他们的数量都相对较多;在苏门答腊北部的古农列尤择国家公园盐沼地,一平方公里内就曾经有14头苏门答腊犀牛No absolutely not7不,绝对不可以;放弃这个想法这一想法的前提是一个明显且危险的错误;至少从生理意义上说,和其他任何一种灭绝物种一样,苏门答腊犀牛死时都还很年轻;物种经历生老病死的自然生命阶段这一观点基于一个错误的类比;一个濒临灭绝的物种,不像一个濒临死亡的病人,要延续生命需要昂贵的费用由毫无意义;恰恰相反,绝大多数稀少且数量不断下降的物种是由年幼健康的个体构成的,他们需要的只是成长和繁殖的空间和时间,但这些已被人类剥夺;The causes of8野生苏门答腊犀牛数量减少的原因很容易理解,但目前却无法遏制,那些曾经人迹罕至的热带雨林区正在被人们迅速地砍伐以索取木材,继而变成农田和油棕榈种植园;但仅仅栖息地的毁坏并不一定对苏门答腊犀牛构成致命威胁,因为在苏门答腊、婆罗洲、马来西亚半岛,自然保护区足以供养少量但可以维系种群的犀牛;对苏门答腊犀牛致命的威胁反而是偷猎;偷猎苏门答腊犀牛的现象非常严重,如果不加以遏制,将会在几年内直接导致该物种的灭绝;偷猎的驱动力是人们对于一种民间传统药材的贪婪需求,民间医师认为虽然没有可靠证据,犀牛角能治很多疾病,从发热到喉炎到背疼;其结果就是苏门答腊犀牛陷入了自由市场中的死亡旋涡;犀牛角数量越少,价格越昂贵,这就导致偷猎现象更为严重,犀牛角更为稀少,价格也更为昂贵;The same unbridled9无法遏制的市场力量也冲击着世界其他角落;500年来,克什米尔地区斯利那加市的纺织工用藏羚羊的羊毛作原料;藏羚羊的羊毛品质极高,被波斯人誉为沙图什羊绒“羊绒之王”;20世纪80年代以末,沙图什羊绒披肩风行一时,成为国际时尚,被人若无其事的穿戴,例如伊丽莎白二世和超级名模克里斯蒂·布林克利都曾带过;市场需求趋势披肩的年产量由几百件跃升至数千件,一件披肩单价涨到万美元;因此,为了获得更多羊毛,人们就更加无情的捕杀藏羚羊;要织成六英尺的披肩需要三头以上的羚羊皮毛;现在,每年被猎杀的藏羚羊大概有2万头之多,只有大约万头在野生状态下生存,大多数在偏远的西藏高原西部和中北部;The sumatran rhino10苏门答腊犀牛是全世界大批遭受残害的物种的一个标准范例;过度猎杀及其他人类行为已使他们濒临环境保护科学家们所说的“全球”灭绝的边缘,结果是世界任何地方都将找不到任何生存的个体;。

当然，这种顿悟是很罕见的，但仍然可以发生在我们所有人身上。
它有时来自一本书，一个说教或一行诗歌，有时也来自一个朋友。
在曼哈顿一个寒冷的冬天的下午，我坐在一个法国小餐馆，倍感失落和压抑。
因为几次误算，在我生命中一个至关重要的项目就这样落空了。
就因为这样，甚至连期望看到一个老朋友（我常常私下亲切的想到的一个老人）的情形都不像以前那样令我兴奋。
我坐在桌边，皱起眉头看着色彩多样的桌布，清醒的嚼着苦涩的食物。
他穿过街道，裹着旧棉袄，一顶帽子从光头打下来，看上去不像是一个有名的精神病医生，倒像是一个精力充沛的侏儒。
他的办公室在附近到处都有，我知道他刚刚离开他最后一个病人。
他接近80岁，但仍然扛着一个装着满满文件的公文包，工作起来仍然像一个大公司的主管，无论何时有空，他都仍然爱去高尔夫球场。
当他走过来坐我旁边时，服务员早已把他总是要喝的啤酒端了过来，我已经几个月没有见他了，但他似乎还是老样子。
没有任何寒暄，他就问我“怎么了，年轻人？”我已经不再对他的样子感到奇怪，所以我详细地把烦恼告诉他。
带着一丝忧伤的自豪。
我尽量说出实情，除了我自己，我并没有因为失望而责备任何人。
我分析了整件事情，但所有负面评价以及错误仍然继续。
我讲了约有十五分钟，这期间老人只是默默的喝着啤酒。
我讲完后，他取下眼镜说：“到我的办公室去。
”“到你的办公室你忘了带什么了吗”他和蔼的说“不是，我想看看你对某些事情的反应，仅此而已。
”外面开始下起小雨，但他的办公室很温暖，舒服，亲切：放满书的书架靠着墙壁，长皮沙发，弗洛伊德的亲笔签名照，还有墙边放着的录音笔。
他的秘书回家了，只有我们在那里。
老人从纸盒里拿出一盘磁带放进录音笔，然后说：“这里有到我这来求助的三个人的简单录音，当然，这没有说明具体是哪三个人。

The Earth is a beautiful and diverse place, with vast oceans, towering mountains, and lush forests.The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. It has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers and a circumference of around 40,075 kilometers. It is made up of several layers, including the crust, mantle, and core.The Earth rotates on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation. This rotation gives us day and night. The Earth also orbits around the sun, completing one orbit in about 365.25 days, giving us the concept of a year.The Earth is made up of many different ecosystems. These ecosystems support a wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms. It is important to protect and preserve these ecosystems to maintain the delicate balance of life on Earth.The Earth's climate is constantly changing. It experiences seasons due to the tilt of its axis. It also undergoes long-term changes, such as global warming, which is primarily caused by human activities.

Unit 1 Personal Relationships1-1 The gift of life【1】炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。
在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士们办的小孤儿院内。
【2】传教士和一、两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。
【3】几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。
救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。
他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。
如果不立即采取行动，显然她将因失血过多和休克而死亡。
【4】他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要一种相配的血型。
快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。
几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。
【5】这位医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。
孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。
医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势语，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。
接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。
【6】对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。
此时小病人生命垂危。
然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。
过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。
【7】"噢，谢谢。
" 护士用法语说。
"你叫什么名字？"【8】"兴，" 回答道。
【9】兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。
在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。
【10】过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。
【11】"兴，疼吗？" 医生问。
【12】兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。
医生又问是否是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。

Unit 1 hit the nail on the head 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective（模糊的形容词）, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。
语言也是如此。

第三册课文参考译文Unit 1Text 1我的父亲----来自一位著名男演员的女儿的叙述埃米·米特福德我并不真正了解父亲，他不是个很容易相处的人。
我觉得他比较以自我为中心, 还有一点虚荣, 有时候还会让人觉得有距离感。
公众们肯定都认为他很随和,其实在家的时候他基本上都是独处,不怎么跟我们交流的。
我小的时候父亲很少在家的，因为那时几乎没有什么关于他的记忆。
他对家庭生活一直是有一些生疏。
对他来说，工作总是放在第一位，而且记忆中他总是在外地演戏或是排练。
他喜欢别人找他签名，也喜欢被别人认出的感觉。
他获得过几个奖项，并为此感到骄傲。
记得在他获得大不列颠影帝奖时，我们必须到白金汉宫去领取奖牌。
那真是令人难以置信的无趣。
还有其他数以百计的人拿同样的奖项，所以你得一直坐在那等好几个小时。
每当有人来拜访我们家时，父亲总爱把他的奖项拿出来炫耀。
我上过公立学校，但是因为缺乏学习兴趣并且总是缺课，被勒令退学了。
最主要的是我一点也不想去那上学，因为这样我就和我的朋友们分开了。
把我送到那个学校读书他一定很高兴，但事实上到最后这一切只是浪费钱而已。
我想我一定让他感到非常失望。
后来我也试着做过几份工作但是都不能安心长久地做下去，然后我意识到我真正想做的是生活在乡村，并且，这也是我现在做的事情。
作为一家人，无论是情感上还是空间上我们都有距离。
这些日子我们很少见到彼此。
我和父亲的性格大相径庭。
我的兴趣一直都在乡村，而他则喜欢书和音乐，尤其是歌剧，这恰恰是我所讨厌的。
如果他们来看我,他们的衣着也完全不适合在乡村穿—貂皮大衣和漂亮的但不适合在田间走长路的小皮鞋。
父亲对我的婚姻更是完全反对。
他一直希望我和我的丈夫分开。
我想我丈夫出身太卑微了。
而父亲一定是想让我嫁给一个有名望的人，但结果并不能使他如愿。
而且事情往往就是这样。
我们夫妇俩并不打算要孩子，但是我的父亲总是不停地谈论着他想抱孙子。
人总不能仅仅因为自己迫切地想抱孙子就逼着别人要孩子吧。

Book 1 Unit 1 Writing for Myself为自己而写Russell BakerThe idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.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。
When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly againstthe collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly, that he seemed a comic antique.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。

第1单元避免两词铭记两词在生活中，没有什么比顿悟更令人激动和兴奋的，它可以改变一个人——不仅仅是改变，而且变得更好。
当然，这种顿悟是很罕见的，但仍然可以发生在我们所有人身上。
它有时来自一本书，一个说教或一行诗歌，有时也来自一个朋友。

我讲了约有十五分钟，这期间老人只是默默的喝着啤酒。
我讲完后，他取下眼镜说：“到我的办公室去。
”“到你的办公室？你忘了带什么了吗？”他和蔼的说“不是，我想看看你对某些事情的反应，仅此而已。
”外面开始下起小雨，但他的办公室很温暖，舒服，亲切：放满书的书架靠着墙壁，长皮沙发，弗洛伊德的亲笔签名照，还有墙边放着的录音笔。
他的秘书回家了，只有我们在那里。
老人从纸盒里拿出一盘磁带放进录音笔，然后说：“这里有到我这来求助的三个人的简单录音，当然，这没有说明具体是哪三个人。
我想让你听听，看你是否能找出双字词的短语，这里是在三个案例中共有的。
”他笑道：“不要这么困扰，我有我的目的。
”对我来说，录音中三个主人共有的东西不是什么快乐的东西。
首先讲话的是一个男人，他在生意中经历了一些损失或失败，他指责自己没有辛勤工作，也没有远见。
接下来说话的是一个女人，她还没有结婚，因为对她寡妇母亲的强烈的责任意思，她伤心的回忆了所有擦肩而过的婚姻机遇。
第三个说话的是一位母亲，她十多岁的儿子在警察局有麻烦，她总是不停地责备自己。
老人关掉收音机，侧身坐到椅子上：“在这些录音中，有一个短语像病毒一样的出现了六次。
你注意到了吗？没有？噢，这可能是因为几分钟前你在餐馆说过了三次。
”他拿起磁带盒扔给我。
“正好在标签上有那两个伤心的词语。
”我向下一看，那里有两个清晰的红色的印字：如果。
“你受惊了吗？”老人说：“你能想象我坐在这把椅子上以这两个词开头的话有多少次了吗？他们总是对我说：如果换一种方法做——或根本不去做。
（如果我没发脾气、没有做那虚伪的事、没有说那愚蠢的谎言。
如果我聪明点，或更无私点，或更自控点。
）直到我打断说话他们才会停止。
有时我让他们听你刚说过的录音。
我对他们说（如果你停止说如果，我们就已取得进展了。
）”老人伸出双脚，说：“问题是，‘如果’并没有改变任何东西。
它使那人面对错误——后退而非前进，那样只是在浪费时间。
最后，要是你让它成为一个习惯，它就会变成真的障碍，变成你不再去做尝试的借口了。
”“现在回到你的情况：你的计划没成功，为什么？因为你犯了某种错误。
唔，这个没关系，毕竟错误谁都会犯，我们也从中学到东西。
但是，当你告诉我那些东西时却悔恨这个，后悔那个的时候，你还没有从错误中学到什么。
”“你怎么知道呢？”我用一种辩驳的语气问道。
“因为你还没有从过去中走出来。
你根本没提及到未来。
在某种程度上——老实说，——现在你仍沉溺于过去。
我们每个人心目中都有一个根深蒂固的不合理的想法——我们会犯一些常犯的的错误却又认为理所当然。
毕竟当你提到受过的灾难和挫折时，你仍然是主角和焦点。
”我悲伤地摇了摇头，说：“嗯，那还有什么能补救的吗？”“有，转移焦点，”老人马上答道，“更换关键字，用一个赋予动力，而不是拖后腿的词来替换它。
”“那你能推荐这样的词给我吗？”“当然可以，去掉‘如果’，换上‘下次’。
”“下次？”“对，我已经在这房间里见识过它产生的奇迹。
只要一个病人不断对我说‘如果’，他就麻烦了。
但是假如他注视着我说‘下次’的话，我知道他就快度过难关了。
这意味着他已经运用从经历中吸取的教训，不论曾经多残酷或痛苦；也意味着他开始推开悔恨的阻碍继续前进，采取行动重新生活。
你尝试看看你也会明白的。
”我的老朋友停止了话题。
我能听到外面雨点正溅落在窗户玻璃上。
我尝试着从大脑中挤出另一个词来替代它。
当然，这只是想象，但我感觉到新词毫无疑问地嵌入了我的脑海…老人略显僵硬地站起来，说：“噢，下课了！我真的很高兴能与你见面，年轻人，一直都是！你能帮我拦辆出租车吗？我也该回家了。
”我们从大楼出来，走进雨夜里，我发现了一辆空车，开始另一个路人却比我快更快。
“哎呀，如果我们早下来十秒钟的话，我们就拦到那辆车了！”，老人狡猾地说。
得到暗示的我笑着说：“下次我一定跑快一点。
”“这就对了，就是这样！”老人说着，顺手把那引人发笑的帽子拉下来围着他的耳朵。
有一辆车缓缓驶来，我为老人打开车门。
他笑着，挥手走了，我再也没有见过他。
一个月之后，他因为心脏病突发而辞世了，可以说是很安详地死去。
那个曼哈顿雨天已过去一年多了。
然而，时至今日，每当我脑海浮现‘如果’这个词时，我马上以‘下次’取而代之。
然后，我等待着那几乎感受到的“嘀嗒”声的响起。
当听到它时，我又想起那位慈祥的老人。
尽管只是永恒中的一个小小片段，但这就是他所想要的。
第七单元美对于古希腊人来说，美丽是一种美德：一种出色表现。
这样的人在今天会理所当然而又无不受嫉妒地被人们称为"完整"的人。
即使古希腊人真的曾经将一个个体的"内在"与"外在"区分开来，他们依然会期望这个个体的内在美能够与他其他方面的美相匹配。
当那些出身良好的年轻雅典人聚集在苏格拉底周围时，他们发现了一个非常矛盾的事实：他们的英雄是如此地睿智，如此英勇，如此高贵，如此有诱惑力——而且，如此其貌不扬。
苏格拉底用自己的丑陋给他的那些天真无邪的，无疑也是非常俊美的始徒们上的其中最重要的一节课就是：生活中充满了矛盾。
他们也许听不进去导师的教诲。
但是我们不会。
几千年以后的今天，我们变的更加小心翼翼地对待美丽之销魂。
我们不但十分轻而易举地把二者——"内在"（品质，智慧）与"外在"（外表）分割开，实际上，当我们看到一个人既漂亮同时又聪明，有才干，善良的时候，我们会感到很惊讶。
人们将美丽从古典的人类理想的中心地位中分裂出来，主要是受到了基督教的影响。
为了将出色（在拉丁文中是virtus,与美德的virtue同源）的范围缩小到仅仅是道德上的出色，基督教将美丽流放了——使它成为一种疏远的，恣意的，肤浅的诱惑。
而美丽的威望不断地流失。
在长达近两个世纪中，美丽约定俗成地变得只能用于形容两性中其中一性：即无论多么"公平对待"，依然是排在"第二位"的那一性。
把美丽与女人联系起来使美丽陷入道德上愈加不利的境地。
一个美丽的女人，我们在英语中是这么说的。
但是，我们会说一个英俊的男人。
英俊是美丽的阳性的对等物，同时也是一种藐视。
美丽一词现在专用于女人，它当中积聚着一定的贬抑的弦外之音。
在法语和意大利语中，仍有称一个男性"美丽"的现象，这说明与那些被新教的基督教教义塑造的国家不同，天主教国家中还残存着一些对美丽的异端赞美的痕迹。
但是如果真的有什么区别的话，那只是程度上的。
在所有现代国家中，无论是基督教国家还是后基督教国家，女性都是"美丽的性别"——这是对美丽本身同时也是对女性本身的贬损。
渴望被称为美丽被认为是道出了女性性格的本质与她们所关心事物的核心。
（与男性形成对比——他们的核心是强壮，高效，强竞争力）不需要具有先进女权主义者的敏锐洞察力，人们也能够察觉到，女性被引导向美丽的过程实质上鼓吹了自恋主义，加重了女性的依赖性和不成熟性。
每个人（男人和女人）都心照不宣。
"每一个个体"，也就全社会，都默认了"女性化"就是关心一个人看上去怎样，（与男性化的关心一个人是怎样，干得怎样，然后才有可能再关心一个人长得怎样形成了对比）考虑到这些思维定势，无怪乎美丽一词，最多只能享有一种不纯的名声。
当然，渴望美丽本身并没有错，错就错在当追求美变成了一种义务去完成，或者去尝试。
使女性觉得自己比实际的她,或者说正常成长的她要低一筹，是一种被女性广泛接受的谄媚的性别理想化。
因为追求理想的美在实际操作中已成为一种自我压抑的形式。
女性被引导去把她们身体的各部分拆分开来看待，然后独立地衡量各部分。
胸部，腿，臀部，腰身，颈部，眼睛，鼻子，肤色，头发，等等——每一样都被置于焦急的，难于取悦的，时常是近乎绝望的细察之中。
即使一些过关了，肯定还有不足之处。
不达到完美誓不罢休。
在男性那里，好看是一种整体的感觉，是匆匆一瞥留下的印象。
它不需要提供身体各部位的尺寸来确认，没有人会鼓励一个男性将自己的外表一点一点地拆分。
至于外表完美，被认为是微不足道的——甚至是缺乏阳刚之气的。
实际上，一个男人如果在外表上有一点点瑕疵，或伤痕，反而会被很正面地追捧为理想的美男子。
按照一位自称是Robert Redford迷的影评人（女性）的说法，恰恰是他脸上那一堆影响肤色的黑痔使Redford免于被认作"只有一张漂亮的脸蛋"。
不妨设想在这样的判断中所暗含的对女性和美丽本身的贬损。
Cocteau 曾说：美丽的特权是无限的。
可以肯定，美丽是一种力量。
它也配称为一种力量。
但是值得悲哀的是，这是一种绝无仅有的只有女性才被怂恿去寻求的力量。
这种力量也常常被认为和男性有关；这不是一种行动力而是一种吸引力。
这是一种否定自身的力量。
因为它不是一个人可以自由选择的，至少，由不得一个女人在未经社会许可的情况下自由选择或放弃。
对于一个女性来说，打扮自己，绝不仅仅是一种愉悦。
同时也是一种职责。
这是她的工作。
如果一个女人做了真正意义上的工作——即使攀升到政界，法律界，医学界，商界，诸如此类领域的领导地位——她仍常常被迫承认她自己依然努力使自己保持吸引力。
但是当她正努力维系两个"公平性别"的其中一性的角色之际，她的客观性，她的专业素质，权威性，思想的周密性，则备受质疑。
如果她们做，会被责难；不做，同样会被指责。
