Unit 4 Fresh Start新编大学英语第二版第一册课文翻译
Unit 4 Fresh StartFresh Start[1] I first began to wonder what I was doing on a college campus when my parents drove off, leaving me standing pitifully in a parking lot. I decided I wanted nothing more than to find my way safely to my dorm room. It seemed that everyone on campus was watching me. My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut and I hoped no one would notice I was a freshman.[2] The next morning I found my first class and marched in. Once I was in the room, however, another problem awaited me. Where to sit? After much hesitation I chose a seat in the first row and to the side.[3] "Welcome to Biology 101," the professor began. Oh, God, I had thought it was a literature class. A cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck. I groped for my schedule and checked the room number. I was in the right room but the wrong building.[4] So now what? Get up and leave in the middle of the lecture? Wouldn't the professor be angry? I knew everyone would stare. Forget it. I settled into my chair and tried to look as serious as a biology major might be.[5] After class I felt a little hungry, and I hurried to the cafeteria. I piled my tray with sandwiches and was heading for the seat when I accidentally stepped in a large puddle of ketchup. My food tray tipped and I lost my balance. As my rear end met the floor, I saw my entire life pass before my eyes; it ended with my first day of college classes.[6] In the seconds after my fall I thought how nice it would be if no one had noticed. But as all the students in the cafeteria came to their feet, cheering and clapping, I knew they had not only noticed, they were determined that I would never forget it.[7] For the next three days I dined alone on nothing more than shame, and some junk food from a machine placed outside my room. On the fourth day I thought I needed some real food badly. Perhaps three days was long enough for the campus population [N] to have forgotten me. So off to the cafeteria I went.[8] I made my way through the food line and tiptoed to a table. Suddenly I heard a crash that sounded familiar. I looked up to find that another poor soul had met the same fate as I had. My heart went out to him as people began to cheer and clap as they had for me. He got up, hands held high above his head in a victory clasp, grinning from ear to ear.I expected him to slip out of the cafeteria as I had, but instead he turned around and began preparing another tray. And that's when I realized I had been taking myself far too seriously.[9] Who cared whether I dropped a tray, where I sat in class, or even whether Ishowed up in the wrong lecture? Nobody. This wasn't like high school. In college, it didn't matter. This was my big chance to do my own thing.[10] Once I realized that I had no one's expectations to live up to but my own, I relaxed. I began to view college as a wonderful experiment. I dressed a little differently, I discovered a taste for jazz, and I decided I liked going barefoot.[11] I gave up trying to act my way through college and began not acting at all. College, I decided, was probably the only time I would be completely forgiven for any mistakes (including stepping in puddles of ketchup and dropping food trays). So I used the opportunity to make all the ones I thought I'd ever make.[12] Three years after graduation, I'm still making mistakes. And I'm even being forgiven for a few.新的开端1 当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。

Unit 4 Fresh StartIn-Class Reading Fresh Start新的开端1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。
我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。
我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。
我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。
2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。
然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。
坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。
3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。
天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。
4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。
算了吧。
我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。
5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。
我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。
手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。
就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。
6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。
但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。
7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。
到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。
也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。
于是我去了食堂。
8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。
突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。
抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。
当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。
他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。
我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。

参考译文1.第一单元成长1.1课文A我们写作时常常被告诫，脑子里要有读者，笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。
但有一位读者特别不该忘记。
你能猜出是谁吗?当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时，他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。
为自己而写拉塞尔·田克从孩提时代，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，白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。
他救着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来—·本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。
我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年，不少日子过去了，还真率出所料。
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—样乏味。
我把作文题带回家，——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—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——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—个吃起来得心应手的。

新编大学英语第一册1-10单元课文参考译文Unit One以生命相赠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，而他们却落在了一所有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，显然她就会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，因此需要相配血型的血。
快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而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，忽视会讲一点法语，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，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，”小男孩回答道。
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。
医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。
13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。
他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴想竭力忍住哭泣。

全新的开始我第一次开始思考我的大学要做些什么，不管怎样我的父母把我送到大学校园便开车离开了，我一个人孤零零地站在停车场，此时此刻我只想平安地找到去我宿舍的道路。
一个无法改变的事实是无论我认为自己多么成熟，我都觉得还是有点儿大一新生的稚气。
此外我还有一个烦恼就是总觉得大学里的每一个人好像都在注意我。
我只想张开耳朵闭起嘴巴希望这样就不会有人注意到我是一个大一新生。
基于这种想法，我抬起头，耸耸肩，于是一边看着手里的校园地图，一边朝着宿舍走去。
当我第一眼看到一个真正的大学足球运动员时我情不自禁地盯着他看。
那是是一个多么自信，多么淡定，肌肉多么有型的人啊。
此时我只希望能引起他注意的是我的外貌而不是我颤抖的膝盖。
我花了一下午的时间来找每一间教室的位置，这样以后上课时就可以准时赶到，而不用问我们教室在哪儿这样愚蠢的问题。
第二天的早上我去上第一节课。
然而我刚进教室，又遇到了另一件麻烦事。
我该坐哪儿呢?新生手册上说我们最好尽量往前坐。
这样就会给教授留下聪明好学又精力旺盛的印象。
仔细考虑之后，我选择了第一排靠边的一个位置。
虽然我坐在前排，但是没有在教授的视线范围之内。
我打开了我的美国文学选集然后在排版整齐的书上随便地写上日期。
“欢迎来到101教室的生物课堂，”教授开始了他的开场白。
然而我的脖子后面却冷汗直冒，我摸到了我的时间表，然后校对了一下门牌号。
我才发现我进对了教室却跑错了教学楼。
现在怎么办呢?上课期间起身离开?这样教授难道不会生气吗?我知道如果这样每个人都会盯着我看。
别胡思乱想了。
我坐在椅子上装成生物专业的学生的样子，身体稍微地向前倾，我绷紧胳膊准备疯狂地做笔记，并悄悄地骂娘。
墙上挂着的那些瓶装的蛇似乎也在暗示我应该认真点。
下课后我饿的肚子直叫，于是我飞奔到自助餐厅。
我的托盘上放着美味的三明治然后便走向了卖色拉的窗口，结果一不小心踩上了一堆番茄酱。
此时想要站直并摆脱窘境一点也不容易，我也开始控制不住我的腿。
正在我准备想别的办法时，我的托盘开始倾斜，我一下子失去了平衡。

新编大学英语第二版Book2 Unit1-4课文原文加翻译Unit 1 A Good Heart to Lean OnMore than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.[1] When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance , people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.[2] It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient —and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you. ”[3] Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.[4] When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn , N.Y., on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home..[5] When I think of it now, I marvel at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And I marvel at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.[6] He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able . What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.[7] Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people , even though I still don't know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.[8] Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager , he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.[9] On one memorable occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving .He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, “I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! ”[10] Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive even before the bout began.[11] I now know he participated in some things vicariously through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different. ” Those wordswere never said aloud.[12] He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of anoth er's good fortune, when I don't have a “good heart”.[13] At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.” ( 703 words)【译文】善良之心，久久相依1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。
Unit1FreshStart课文翻译
全新的开始我第一次开始思考我的大学要做些什么，不管怎样我的父母把我送到大学校园便开车离开了，我一个人孤零零地站在停车场，此时此刻我只想平安地找到去我宿舍的道路。
一个无法改变的事实是无论我认为自己多么成熟，我都觉得还是有点儿大一新生的稚气。
此外我还有一个烦恼就是总觉得大学里的每一个人好像都在注意我。
我只想张开耳朵闭起嘴巴希望这样就不会有人注意到我是一个大一新生。
基于这种想法，我抬起头，耸耸肩，于是一边看着手里的校园地图，一边朝着宿舍走去。
当我第一眼看到一个真正的大学足球运动员时我情不自禁地盯着他看。
那是是一个多么自信，多么淡定，肌肉多么有型的人啊。
此时我只希望能引起他注意的是我的外貌而不是我颤抖的膝盖。
我花了一下午的时间来找每一间教室的位置，这样以后上课时就可以准时赶到，而不用问我们教室在哪儿这样愚蠢的问题。
第二天的早上我去上第一节课。
然而我刚进教室，又遇到了另一件麻烦事。
我该坐哪儿呢?新生手册上说我们最好尽量往前坐。
这样就会给教授留下聪明好学又精力旺盛的印象。
仔细考虑之后，我选择了第一排靠边的一个位置。
虽然我坐在前排，但是没有在教授的视线范围之内。
我打开了我的美国文学选集然后在排版整齐的书上随便地写上日期。
“欢迎来到101教室的生物课堂，”教授开始了他的开场白。
然而我的脖子后面却冷汗直冒，我摸到了我的时间表，然后校对了一下门牌号。
我才发现我进对了教室却跑错了教学楼。
现在怎么办呢?上课期间起身离开?这样教授难道不会生气吗?我知道如果这样每个人都会盯着我看。
别胡思乱想了。
我坐在椅子上装成生物专业的学生的样子，身体稍微地向前倾，我绷紧胳膊准备疯狂地做笔记，并悄悄地骂娘。
墙上挂着的那些瓶装的蛇似乎也在暗示我应该认真点。
下课后我饿的肚子直叫，于是我飞奔到自助餐厅。
我的托盘上放着美味的三明治然后便走向了卖色拉的窗口，结果一不小心踩上了一堆番茄酱。
此时想要站直并摆脱窘境一点也不容易，我也开始控制不住我的腿。
正在我准备想别的办法时，我的托盘开始倾斜，我一下子失去了平衡。

便笺的力量
1 我当体育编辑，最早是为蒙比利埃（俄亥俄州）的《企业导报》工作，当时我很少收到体育迷的来信。因此，一天早晨放在我桌上的一封来信把我吸引住了。
2 打开来信，我看到了下面的话：“关于老虎队的述评很不错，再接再厉。”签名的是体育编辑堂?沃尔夫。当时我只是一个十几岁的小伙子（为每一竖栏写一英寸文字，稿酬总计达15美分），因此他的话最鼓舞人心了。我把这封信一直放在书桌的抽屉里，后来它的边角都卷起来了。每当我怀疑自己不是当作家的料时，重温一下堂的便笺，就又会树起信心来。

(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA. Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i) Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning process.ii) The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii) Two examples:a. In many of the former all-women’s colleges, the boys were taking over the class-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in law and medical school classrooms in recent years.B. Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class.ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teacher’ assumption. (para 4)i) The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills.ii) Three examples:a. American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who develop reading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.(3) The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills, while girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to be approved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.B. The consequence when these lessons carry over from the home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than its content, and more anxious about being right in their answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child’s waking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional and expected mold.2 CBDBCDVocabulary1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved5) Bias6) deprived 7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2. conscious –unconscious positive –negativeencourage –discourage superior –inferiordirectly – indirectly biased –fairsexist – nonsexist limited –unlimiteddependent – independent appropriately –inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out 2) carry over 3) calling on 4) put away 5) fallen behind 6) take over男生是老师的宠儿Unit 4关于创造力的培养——鼓励孩子思考Reading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents can encouragecreativity in children.2) An important strategy for parents and teachers to follow (para.2-3)A.

Who successful students and adults are:Those who can find a number of ways to approach problems.B. What creative people can do:They can use what they have to produce original ideas that are good forsomething.4) A big problem in school (para. 6)The problem: Children can obtain and give back information, but can’t figureout ways to apply what they know in new situations.5) A new approach to teaching (para 7)A. The approach: Combining the basics with the activities where students mustuse their imaginations.B. How to do so: By asking questions and meanwhile praising their ideas andnew thoughts.C. How to facilitate the process: To create an atmosphere in which there is norisk in being creative-- a place where wild ideas are honored and valued,never scorned or dismissed.6) Things parents can do at home to encourage creativity (para. 8-10)A. To involve children in decision making.B. To help children to understand the consequences of various decisions.C. To encourage them to talk out loud about things they are doing. The reasonfor doing so: Talking out loud improves language skills and thinking skills.D. To show a sense of humor. The reason for doing so: Children can seecreativity in its purest form.E.

Unit 4 Fresh Start新编大学英语第二版第一册教案
Unit 4 Fresh StartUseful InformationAs teachers, we all greet each new school year with feelings of anticipation, excitement, and even a bit of apprehension as we wonder what our new groups of students will be like. Will they be ambitious and interested learners ready to absorb new words and ideas to make them their own, or will we have to prod and push them to learn the new materials to which they are being introduced? Sometimes, in fact often, a class will have a mixture of both kinds of students.In the teaching profession, unlike many other professions, we have the opportunity to make a fresh start each year, indeed each semester. We have the leisure to consider what went right and what went wrong in the previous classes; we can also try slightly different methods of teaching，repeating them in the future if they work and discarding them if they don’t. In this respect teachers are fortunate indeed.What about the students? If they are freshmen, they have many apprehensions and many tensions. They are having to make adjustments to dormitory life, no small thing for many of them. They also are now away from a secure base of family and friends and are hoping that they can make new friends with whom they can share their hopes and fears. Probably they are most apprehensive about whether or not they can succeed in college, and they may be quite worried as to whether or not they will be able to succeed in this English class.Actually the English classroom can be a place where students’ apprehensions are eased. In small group discussions they can be encouraged to talk about themselves, their beliefs, and even their fears. The students in the small groups can be very supportive of one another if they are encouraged to be so. Often, praise from peers can mean more to students than praise from their teachers because they are insecure in their social relationships. Students can also express some of their concerns through writing assignments. Often just writing down something that is bothersome can make an individual feel better. It would be wonderful if we could make the English class a place that students look forward to entering. It is not impossible to have this happen, and we teachers can think about what we can do to make it so.In a sense, each day is a new beginning for both students and teacher, a time when a fresh start can be made. We all have had class sessions that didn’t go exactly as we would have liked. The beauty of teaching is that we can think about how we can keep that from happening again. To live and to be active means that we will all make mistakes. We can learn not to be crushed by our mistakes but to learn from them, and it is essential that we help our students to learn this, too. If we can find positive things to say to a student who has had a “bad day,” we can help him to realize that he can make a fresh start during thenext class and probably will do better. We teachers already know this, but sometimes it doesn’t hurt that we remind ourselves of the fact. If students seek help from us, we can aid them in making their fresh starts, even though sometimes we wonder if we have the time to do so. Then, with their individual successes, we will feel and, indeed, be successful too.Philosophers and poets have also recognized the importance of fresh starts, or beginnings. The 5th century B.C. Greek philosopher Plato stated that “the beginning is the most important part of the work.” John Dryden, the 17th century British poet, reminded his readers of the importance of beginnings both in nature and in art, when he wrote: “By viewing Nature, Nature’s handmaid Art,Makes mighty things from small beginnings grow.”Part One Preparation1. A Freshman’s AlphabetA is for the ASSIGNMENTS that the teachers give us.B is for the BOOKS that I enjoy reading.C is for the CAMPUS where most students live.D is for the DORM that I share with my roommates.E is for the EXAMS that give me headaches.F is for the FRIENDS whom I’m glad to stay with.G is for the GRAMMAR that I learn in the English class.H is for the HOBBIES of mine, such as playing tennis.I is for the INFORMATION that I get from the Internet.J is for the JOB that I want to get after I graduate from college.K is for the KNOWLEDGE that we are gaining in school.L is for the LIBRARY where we can borrow books.M is for the MAJOR of mine -- business.N is for the NOTES that I take in class.O is for the OK that I say to my mother over the phone.P is for the PROFESSORS who give us lectures.Q is for the QUIZZES that teachers give us now and then.R is for the REPORTS that we write after we have done research.S is for the SCHOLARSHIPS that I hope to win.T is for the TUITION that my parents pay for my education.U is for the UNIVERSITIES that give us the chance for higher education.V is for the VACATIONS that I’m looking forward to.W is for the WEEKENDS when I can relax myself.X is for the X’MAS CARDS that I will receive from my friends in December.Y is for the YAHOO that we like to visit on the Internet.Z is for the ZOO where we can learn about all kinds of animals.Supplementary ActivityThe teacher can ask the students to work in pairs and prepare a short speech entitled “A Freshman’s School Life”. They can do it either in class or after class. Ask them to use as many words from the Freshman’s Alphabet as possible.Sample:I’m a freshman at Zhejiang University. My major is Economics. I have been on campus for about two months, and I’m living in a dorm which is close to the library of the university. So far I have been enjoying my new life except that sometimes I worry about the mid-term and final exams. The professors stress almost every time that our students’ primary purpose here is to gain as much knowledge as possible. We should attend class regularly and take good notes; we should hand in our assignments on time; we should read all the books we need to read and write neat reports with few mistakes in grammar; and the results of quizzes will account for part of our grades. Usually we are very busy during the week. But on weekends we can devote some time to our own hobbies. The thing I like to do most is to surf the Internet, to visit web sites like Yahoo for the kind of information I’m interested in. I also like to visit the zoo in my spare time and get to know many animals and birds I haven’t seen before. Some students make use of their spare time to do some part-time job s. They say they have to earn their own tuition. I think I’d better work hard to win a scholarship and finance myself. Now Christmas is coming. I want to send some X’mas cards to my old friends. I miss them very much and hope to see them again in the winter vacation. But above all, I hope I will be Ok in the finals.2. A Letter from CollegeSTEP ONESample:1)The letter is intended to tell her mom that everything is OK in school, but money isbadly needed. The daughter dots the letter with a lot of $s, the symbol of money, to indicate the real intention of the letter. Obviously, Susan is asking for money from her mother in a very tricky way.2)It can be seen that the mother has seen through her daughter’s trick. In a similarway she dots her letter with NOs, suggesting that she turns down Susan’s request and encourages her to study hard.STEP TWOSamples:- I usually call home on weekends to say hi to my parents.- I will call home whenever I miss my parents.- Once I wrote home about my new girlfriend/boyfriend.- I couldn’t help calling home when I fell ill.- I write home once a month telling my parents about my school life.- Sometimes I called home just because I wanted to tell them that I was short of money. - I often write to my parents for their advice.- As soon as I learned that I had got a good grade, I called my parents.- Once I called my parents after I had failed an exam. I felt much better afterwards.- Just yesterday I called my mother and said “Happy Birthday!” to her.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingII. Pre-ReadingSample 1I felt excited when I came to the campus for the first time. It was so big and beautiful – tall buildings, lovely flowers and trees, and grand lawns. Welcoming slogans could be seen here and there. And inspiring music from the loudspeakers added to my excitement. Spacious as it is, the campus was crowded by freshmen like me, their busy parents, teachers and old students who were helping with our registration. Suddenly I felt that I was no longer my mom’s baby; I was an adult! I was overwhelmed with pride and excitement.Sample 2I felt at a loss when I first came to the university. The campus was so big that I was afraid I would get lost if left alone. It seemed to be messy and noisy everywhere, with thousands of people coming and going. I felt a little dizzy and tired after a whole day’s journey by train. All I could do was to follow my parents here and there, not knowing what to do and what to say.Sample 3I still remember the day when I first came to the university. After the registration my parents left and I found myself standing alone in a place I had never been before. It seemed that everyone on campus was watching me. I was feeling so ill at ease that I even found it difficult to gather myself. When I came back to my dorm, my roommates were busy making their beds. I just sat there and began to think of my parents. The sense of loneliness was so strong that I thought I was going to cry.III.

新编大学英语4文章翻译学英语4翻译新编大学英语4文章翻译新编大学英语4文章翻译新编大学英语4文章翻译篇一羞怯的痛苦 1 对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。
各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。
羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然;也就是说，他们显而易见地关注自己的外表和举止。
脑海中不断地盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法: 我给人留下的是什么印象他们喜欢我吗我讲话是不是傻里傻气我长得难看。
我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。
2 很显然这种不安的感觉会对人们产生不利的影响。
一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。
通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。
例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强的自尊心的人往往表现自信。
由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励使自己感觉良好。
自信者热情地自发地投身生活。
他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。
有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害;他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。
相反，他们认为批评是一种要他们改进的建议。
3 相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。
他们(是否) 在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。
害羞的人对批评非常敏感;他们觉得批评却好证实了他们比别人差。
他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。
羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。
我知道这不是真的。
”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利的、有害的。
4 能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。
由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的优点还有弱点非常重要。
例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。
如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。
人们对自己的期望必须与现实相符。

Unit 4 Fresh StartFresh Start[1] I first began to wonder what I was doing on a college campus when my parents drove off, leaving me standing pitifully in a parking lot. I decided I wanted nothing more than to find my way safely to my dorm room. It seemed that everyone on campus was watching me. My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut and I hoped no one would notice I was a freshman.[2] The next morning I found my first class and marched in. Once I was in the room, however, another problem awaited me. Where to sit? After much hesitation I chose a seat in the first row and to the side.[3] "Welcome to Biology 101," the professor began. Oh, God, I had thought it was a literature class. A cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck. I groped for my schedule and checked the room number. I was in the right room but the wrong building.[4] So now what? Get up and leave in the middle of the lecture? Wouldn't the professor be angry? I knew everyone would stare. Forget it. I settled into my chair and tried to look as serious as a biology major might be.[5] After class I felt a little hungry, and I hurried to the cafeteria. I piled my tray with sandwiches and was heading for the seat when I accidentally stepped in a large puddle of ketchup. My food tray tipped and I lost my balance. As my rear end met the floor, I saw my entire life pass before my eyes; it ended with my first day of college classes.[6] In the seconds after my fall I thought how nice it would be if no one had noticed. But as all the students in the cafeteria came to their feet, cheering and clapping, I knew they had not only noticed, they were determined that I would never forget it.[7] For the next three days I dined alone on nothing more than shame, and some junk food from a machine placed outside my room. On the fourth day I thought I needed some real food badly. Perhaps three days was long enough for the campus population [N] to have forgotten me. So off to the cafeteria I went.[8] I made my way through the food line and tiptoed to a table. Suddenly I heard a crash that sounded familiar. I looked up to find that another poor soul had met the same fate as I had. My heart went out to him as people began to cheer and clap as they had for me. He got up, hands held high above his head in a victory clasp, grinning from ear to ear.I expected him to slip out of the cafeteria as I had, but instead he turned around and began preparing another tray. And that's when I realized I had been taking myself far too seriously.[9] Who cared whether I dropped a tray, where I sat in class, or even whether Ishowed up in the wrong lecture? Nobody. This wasn't like high school. In college, it didn't matter. This was my big chance to do my own thing.[10] Once I realized that I had no one's expectations to live up to but my own, I relaxed. I began to view college as a wonderful experiment. I dressed a little differently, I discovered a taste for jazz, and I decided I liked going barefoot.[11] I gave up trying to act my way through college and began not acting at all. College, I decided, was probably the only time I would be completely forgiven for any mistakes (including stepping in puddles of ketchup and dropping food trays). So I used the opportunity to make all the ones I thought I'd ever make.[12] Three years after graduation, I'm still making mistakes. And I'm even being forgiven for a few.新的开端1 当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。
我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到寝室。
我感到似乎校园里每个人都在看我。
我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是个新生。
第二天早上我找到了上第一节课的教室，大步走了进去。
然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。
坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。
3 “欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始了开场白。
天哪，我还以为这是文学课！我的后脖根上冒出了冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室号-----教室号是对的，但我却走错了教学楼。
4 怎么办？上课期间就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。
算了吧。
我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。
5 下了课后我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。
我往托盘里装了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。
手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。
就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。
6 摔到后的几秒里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘像该有多好。
但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，欢呼鼓掌，我知道他们不仅看见了我刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉那一幕。
7 接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是从安放在房间外的机器上买来的没有营养的食品。
到了第四天，我感到自己急需补充一些真正的食物。
兴许三天的时间足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后。
于是我去了食堂。
8 我好不容易排队取到了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。
突然我听到一阵熟悉的哗啦跌倒声，抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我原先一样的命运。
当人们开始像对待我那样欢呼鼓掌的时候，我对他满怀同情。
他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。
9 我是否摔了托盘，坐在教室的哪个位置，甚至于是否走错了教室，有谁会在乎呢？没有人在乎。
这不像在中学。
在大学里，这些都无关紧要。
我完全可以按自己的意愿行事。
10 一旦意识到我不必考虑别人的期望，只要自己满意就行，我感到释然。
我开始把上大学看作一个美妙的实验。
我稍稍改变了自己的穿着，开始欣赏爵士乐，还认定自己喜欢光着脚走路。
11 在以后的大学生活里，我不再试图做出什么姿态，而是顺其自然。
大学，在我看来，也许是唯一一个有错误可以完全得到谅解的阶段（包括踩到番茄酱，摔了托盘）。
