Unit 6T ext A Old Father Time Becomes a T errorIn many ways, the style of this piece is typical of a certain variety of journalism. It is clearly not a new story, but nonetheless belongs within the pages of a newspaper. Such writing finds its home in the editorial or comment section where journalists and others contribute regular or occasional columns reflecting on topical issues.Unlike news stories where reporters are expected to confine themselves to the facts; such columns are intended to give free range to the expression of personal opinion. At the same time, particularly in the more serious papers (and the paper from which this comes, the Financial Times, certainly belongs to this category) the writer is expected display this familiarity with the problem under discussion.This is frequently achieved by employing concession. Thus, here the writer, having outlined the problem of the pressure of time, goes on to concede that not everybody is affected to the same extent. He then details the differences that exist before returning to his more general point and concluding with his solution, another characteristic ingredient of such editorial articles.His general conclusion is hardly new, having been advice offered by philosophers for as back as one cares to go, but gains novelty set against the context to recent technological developments.Although not a news story, the article nevertheless shares with newspaper reporting in general a taste for seeking support from the use of direct quotations from a number of different people. These quotations are provided together with the name of the person and background information on them.These details add human interest and support the argument by reference to the utterances of someone who appear to be in a position to know. As the quotations record spoken rather than written English, the tone of language is often colloquial. The frequent peppering of an article with this type of direct quotation stands in contrast to what is usual in a more purely academic essay.TIntroduction of the Author:•Richard TomkinsTheconsumer industries editor of the Financial Times, where he has been a member of the editorial staff since 1983. He is currently based at the company’s London headquarters, whe re he leads a team of journalists covering the consumer goods sector and writes about consumer trends, Tomkins was born in Walsall, England, in 1952. His formal education ended at the age of seventeen.Before becoming a journalist, he was a casual laborer, a factory worker, a truck driver, a restaurant cashier, a civil servant, and an assistant private secretary to a government minister. He left government service in1978 to hitchhike around the world, and on returning to the U.K. in 1978,joined a local newspaper as a trainee reporter.He joined the Financial Times as a sub-editor(副编辑, 副主编) four years later. In this selection, he discusses the time squeeze that many people are experiencing and offers a way of combating the problem.Part IIPre-questionsPPre-questions1. How does the singer treat his diary? Why? (He treats it as a friend, to whom he can pour out hisinmost feelings.)2. Can we infer what attitude the singer takes towards the pace of life today? (It’s unwise forpeople to be always in a rush, so much so that they don’t have time either for each other or for themselves.)3. Do you keep a diary? What sort of things do you write about?4. What does the singer think about how other people spend their time?Part IIIComprehension Questions1, What did we use to expect from technology?2、In what ways have inventions such as the motorcar and the aircraft affected our life? And whatabout the advent of washing machine?3、What new burdens has technology produced apart from cramming work into our leisure time?4、How fast is information generated today as compared to a couple of centuries ago?5、What is Edward Wilson’s purpose in subscribing to sixty-old journals and magazine?6、What gives rise to our discontent with super abundance?7、Is everyone time-starved today? What percentage of the population is suffering under thestresses and strains of life today?8、What is stress envy, as conceived by Paul Edwards?9、How much free time has the average American gained since the mid-1960s?How are the gainsdistributed between the sexes?10、What is mean t by the “the growth of the work-life debate”?11、What does Godbey mean by saying “It’s the kid in the candy store”?12、For time stress, what remedy does the author offer?Part IV Language Points1. on the go / upon the go:(infml) active or busy [口]在进行活动, 忙碌; 刚要动身; 有醉意Examples:I’ve been on the go all week, preparing my thesis.I was on the go all day and went home at about 10’oclock in the evening.Part IV2. set about：begin（a task）；start（doing sth.）（used in the pattern：set about sth./doing sth.; no passive）开始, 着手; 散布(谣言) ; [口]攻击; [俚]接连殴打, 乱打Example:The school authorities must set about finding solutions to the campus security problems.My mom and I set about clearing up / clearing the table after the guests left. 动手收拾(餐桌)--set about one's work开始工作Part IVPart I*3. eat into:gradually reduce the amount of (sth. valuable); damage or destroy腐蚀; 侵蚀; 消耗; 用掉一部分(eat in在家里吃饭, eat out)Examples:All these car expenses are eating into our savings.Responsibilities at home and work eat into his time.Our holiday travel has eaten into the money we saved.我们的假日旅游耗费了我们积蓄起来的钱。

新编大学英语第四版四Unit 6 7 9背诵部分翻译加原文
Unit 6[4] All of this is another way of saying that nothing we do is completely safe.There are risks, often potentially serious ones, associated with every hobby we have, every job we take, every food we eat—in other words, with every action.But the fact that there are risks associated with everything we are going to do does not, or should not, reduce us to trembling neurotics. Some actions are riskier than others.The point is to inform ourselves about the relevant risks and then act accordingly[N].4 上面说的这一切，只是从另一角度说明我们所做的事没有一件是百分之百安全的。
有些风险——常常是潜在的重大风险——与我们的每个业余爱好、所做的每项工作、所吃的每种食物有关，换句话说，与所进行的任何活动有关。
但我们又不能，也不该因危险存在于我们将要做的每件事，而变成战战兢兢的神经症患者。
有些活动是比其它活动更危险。
关键在于要让自己了解相应的风险，然后相机行事。
8] Once we understand that risk can never be totally eliminated from any situation and that, therefore, nothing is completely safe, we will then see that the issue is not one of avoiding risks altogether but rather one of managing risks in a sensible way[N].Risk management requires two things: common sense and information about the character and degree of the risks we may be running.8 我们一旦明白了风险是永远无法从任何情况中完全去除的，因而就没有绝对安全的事，我们也就会明白问题的关键不是要彻底避免风险，而是要理智地管理风险。

7. Technology apart, the Internet points the way to a second reason why we feel so time-pressed: the information explosion. 8. A couple of centuries ago, nearly all the world’s accumulated learning could be contained in the heads of a few philosophers. Today, those heads could not hope to accommodate more than a tiny fraction（n.小部分， 一点儿，少许） of the information generated in single day. 9. News, facts and opinions pour in（大量涌入） from every corner of the world. The television set offers 150 channels. There are millions of Internet sites. Magazines, books and CD-ROMs（n.光盘只读存储器） proliferate（v.（数量）激增；（迅速地）增殖）.
12. Of course, not everyone is overstressed. “It’s a convenient shorthand（n.简略的表达方式；速记（法） ） to say we’re all time-starved, but we have to remember that it only applies to, say, half the population,” says Michael Willmott, director of the Future Foundation, a London research company. 13. “You’ve got people retiring early, you’ve got the unemployed（a.未被雇佣的；失业的）, you’ve got other people maybe only peripherally（ad.外围地；边 缘地；次要地） involved in the economy（n.经济；经济 制度；节约） who don’t have this situation at all. If you’re unemployed, your problem is that you’ve got too much time, not too little.”
