大学英语精读2课文翻译全Unit 1 XXX Party一场激烈的争论关于男人是否比女人更勇敢，最终以一种出人意料的方式解决了。

故事的背景是在印度，据说这个故事在当地仍然广为流传。

但实际上，这个故事并不是真的。

有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事，但是我一直未能找到那篇文章。

在这个故事中，一对殖民地官员和他们的客人在家中举行盛大的晚宴。

餐桌设在宽敞的餐厅里，地板是大理石的，没有铺地毯，屋顶上的椽子裸露着，宽大的玻璃门通向走廊。

客人包括军官和他们的夫人，还有一位来访的美国博物学家。

在晚宴上，一位年轻女士和一位少校展开了激烈的讨论。

女士认为，现代女性已经不像过去那样害怕老鼠了，而少校则不同意。

他认为，女人在遇到危险时会尖叫，而男人则会更加冷静。

在场的美国博物学家没有参加讨论，他只是静静地观察着其他客人。

突然间，他注意到女主人的表情有些奇怪。

她盯着前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。

她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。

男仆两眼睁得的，迅速地离开了餐室。

只有美国博物学家注意到这一幕，其他人都没有察觉到。

他意识到，碗中的牛奶是用来引蛇的诱饵。

他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子，但是那里没有蛇。

室内的三个角落也没有蛇，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。

这样，剩下的唯一可能藏蛇的地方就是餐桌下面。

他想要往后一跳并向其他人发出警告，但他知道这样会引起骚乱，使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。

于是他讲了一通话，语气非常威严，使所有人都安静了下来。

“我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制力，我数三百下，也就是五分钟，你们谁都不许动一动。

动者将罚款五十卢比。

准备好！”在我等待进大学的时候，我在一份地方报纸上看到了一则广告，说是在伦敦某郊区，距离我家约十英里的地方有一所学校正在招聘教师。

由于手头很拮据，同时也想做点有用的事情，我便提出了申请。

然而，我也担心自己没有学位，没有教学经验，得到这份工作的可能性微乎其微。

Unit1 The Dinner Party 晚宴那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。

在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。

她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。

她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。

男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。

在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。

那个美国人突然醒悟过来。

在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。

他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。

Unit2 Lessons from Jefferson 杰斐逊的遗训杰斐逊的勇气和理想主义是以知识为基础的。

他懂得的东西也许比同时代的任何人都要多。

在农业、考古学和医学方面他都是专家。

在人们普遍采用农作物轮作和土壤保持的做法之前一个世纪，他就这样做了。

他还发明了一种比当时任何一种都好的耕犁。

他影响了整个美国的建筑业，他还不断地制造出各种机械装置，使日常生活中需要做的许多工作变得更加容易。

在杰斐逊的众多才能中，有一种是最主要的：他首先是一位优秀的、不知疲倦的作家。

目前正在第一次出版的他的全集将超过五十卷。

他作为一个作家的才能很快便被发现了，所以，当1776年在费城要撰写《独立宣言》的时刻来到时，这一任务便落在了他肩上。

数以百万计的人们读到他写的下列词句都激动不已：“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的：一切人生来就是平等的……”Unit3 My First Job 我的第一份工作在我等着进大学期间，我在一份地方报纸上看到一则广告，说是在离我住处大约十英里的伦敦某郊区，有所学校要招聘一名教师。

我因为手头很拮据，同时也想做点有用的事，于是便提出了申请，但在提出申请的同时我也担心，自己一无学位，二无教学经验，得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。

然而，三天之后，却来了一封信，叫我到克罗伊登去面试。

这一路去那儿原来还真麻烦：先乘火车到克罗伊顿车站，再乘十分钟的公共汽车，然后还要至少步行四分之一英里。

大学英语精读第三版第二册中英文课文翻译

1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot." UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

.Unit21 我跟你说，从各方面考虑，当教师不失为一个好主意。

事实上，我认为这个主意好极了。

You know what ?All things considered,it’s not a bad idea to be a teacher. As a matter of fact,I think it is an excellent idea.2我不大喜欢你像刚才那样用讽刺的口气说话。
