课文翻译Title: The Importance of Education正文：教育在现代社会中起着至关重要的作用。
它是一种获取知识和培养技能的过程，可以帮助人们实现自己的潜力并为社会做出贡献。
在现代社会中，教育被视为一种基本权利，每个人都应该有平等接受教育的机会。
通过教育，人们可以获得专业知识和技能，为将来的工作做好准备。
教育还可以帮助人们培养思考和分析问题的能力，提高他们的创造力和创新能力。
教育也对个人的发展和成长至关重要。
通过接受教育，人们可以发展出他们的潜能，掌握新的技能和知识，从而实现自我成长和进步。
教育可以帮助人们提高自信心，培养积极的态度，并为实现个人目标做好准备。
除了个人和社会的发展，教育还可以对整个国家的发展起到重要的推动作用。
一个教育水平高的国家往往更加繁荣和发达。
教育可以培养高素质的人才，提高国家的整体竞争力。
教育还可以帮助国家解决各种社会问题，促进社会和谐与稳定发展。
然而，尽管教育的重要性被广泛认可，但仍然存在一些挑战和问题。
例如，教育资源不平衡问题导致了教育机会的不公平分布。
一些地区和家庭可能缺乏适当的教育资源，导致教育的质量和效果不尽如人意。
此外，教育过程中的压力和竞争也对学生产生了巨大的压力，可能影响他们的身心健康。
为了解决这些问题，社会应该加大对教育的投入，提高教育资源的平衡性，并为学生提供更好的学习环境和条件。
同时，教育系统也需要不断改革和创新，以适应日益变化的社会和经济需求。
总的来说，教育是现代社会不可或缺的一部分。
它对个人的发展、社会的进步以及国家的发展都起着重要的作用。
我们应该重视教育，为每个人提供平等的教育机会，并共同努力建设一个更加公平和繁荣的社会。

现代大学英语精读1(第二版)1-10单元课文翻译
课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4“我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。
笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。
接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪，快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。

现代大学英语精读1-第二版-第三单元课文翻译和课后答案
土地的寓意皮拉·萨哈姆是的，这些事我们家的稻田，以前归我父母，再往前属于我的祖先。
这片土地已有三百多年的历史了。
我是家里唯一的闺女，我一直留在我父母身边，知道他们去世。
按照我们伊萨的习俗，我的三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了，我老伴进了我家的门。
那是我十八岁，他十九岁。
我们俩生了六个孩子，两个没长大就病死了。
其余的俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤的时候就都离开了家。
大儿子在曼谷找了份工作，给一家有钱人当花匠，后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了，小儿子也去了挺远的地方。
我们的一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活，另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作。
有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上几天就走，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好的。
我知道她们说的不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我的心头。
对我老伴来说还好受些，他有耳朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见。
他老是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操心他自己的那点事。
虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边，但他们永远都是我的孩子，他们一个个都走了，这可能就是命吧。
我们的那块地不大，连年的使用已使它不再肥沃，就像我们老两口儿，慢慢老下去，且疲惫不堪。
不过我和老伴还在这块地力里干活儿，雨量充足的时候，地还不难耕种，老天爷不下雨的年份，不光是我们的犁断了，我们的心也碎了。
没，我们俩没怎么变，可我们的村子变了哪些地方变了？就在十年以前，我们还能以物换物，可如今都用钱了。
几年前，我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房子、收割稻子或是打井。
这会儿，都得付钱，他们才肯帮忙。
塑料玩意替代了村里手工做的东西，以前男人们还做点竹器，可如今没人干了。
现在村里到处都是乱扔的塑料袋，一下子冒出来不少商店，里面放满了五颜六色的塑料玩意，还有些我们用不上的东西。
年轻人都去镇上和城里打工，留下我们这些老年人种地。
我知道年轻人跟我们老年人的想法不一样，他们说老年人思想落伍了。

现代⼤学英语第⼆版精读1-Unit3-TextB从美国归来的⼉⼦1)兰特⾦村很⼩，周围环绕着⼀些⽥地，和盖有茅草屋顶的⼩屋，⽥地的主⼈们在⽥地⾥种菜，放⽺。
2)这些⼩屋中最⼩的那个⾥⾯住着⼋⼗多岁的⽼伯尔和他的⽼伴⼉伯尔莎。
⽼伯尔是⼀个被逐出俄国的犹太⼈，他们在波兰定居，他个⼦不⾼，宽肩膀，留着⼀⼩撮⽩胡⼦，不论冬夏，他都戴着⼀顶⽺⽪帽⼦，穿着⼀件棉夹克和⼀双厚实的靴⼦，他拥有半英亩⼟地，养着⼀头母⽜，⼀只⼭⽺和⼏只鸡。
3)⽼两⼝有⼀个⼉⼦叫塞缪尔，四⼗年前去了美国，兰特⾦的⼈都说他在那成了百万富翁，每个⽉兰特⾦的邮差都会给⽼伯尔带来⼀张汇款单和⼀封没⼈能看懂的信，因为⼼⾥⾯有很多英语单词，塞缪尔给他⽗母寄了多少钱⼀直是个秘密，他们似乎从来也不⽤这些钱，花钱做什么？菜园，母⽜和⼭⽺就能给他们提供⼤多数⽣活的必需品。
4)没有⼈会留⼼伯尔把他⼉⼦寄给他的钱存放在那⼉，⼩屋只有⼀个房间，⾥⾯是他们的全部家当，桌⼦、⾁架放奶制品的架⼦、两张床和⼀个泥炉⼦，有时候，鸡把柴房当他们的窝，有时候天冷就进⽕炉旁的鸡笼⾥，天⽓恶劣时，⼭⽺也躲进屋⾥，经济条件好些的村民们已经有了煤油灯，但是伯尔和他的妻⼦不太相信新玩意⼉，只有在安息⽇，伯尔莎才回到商店买些蜡烛，夏天，天⼀亮⽼两⼝就起床了，晚上鸡进笼的时候，他们才休息，在漫长的冬夜，伯尔莎纺纱，伯尔就静静的坐在他的⾝边，共同享受这夜的宁静。
5)偶尔，波尔从犹太教堂回来时会给妻⼦带回些消息，在华沙，⼀些罢⼯⼯⼈要求沙皇退位，有⼀个叫赫兹尔医⽣的⼈提出⼀个想法，认为犹太⼈应重新定居在巴基斯坦。
伯尔莎⼀边听⼀边摇头，他的脸⾊发黄，像卷⼼菜也⼀样满是皱纹，他已经半聋了。
所以波尔不得不向他重复他所说过的每⼀个字。
6)在兰特⾦，除了⽇常琐碎没有什么⼤事发⽣，⼀头母⽜⽣了⼀头⼩⽜，⼀对年轻⼈结婚了，实际上，兰特⾦已经变成了⼀个没有多少年轻⼈的村庄了，年轻⼈有的去扎克洛奇姆了，有的去华沙了，还有的去美国了，像塞缪尔⼀样，她们往家⾥寄回了信和照⽚，照⽚上的男⼈戴着⾼⾼的礼帽，⼥⼠穿着花哨的⾐裙。
大学英语精读1-笔记(1-4课)
Lesson one导言第一句中“how to improve your grades…?” 作的是know的宾语，是宾语从句how you can improve your grades…的省略形式。
有些带疑问词的宾语从句往往能省略成：“疑问词＋动词不定式”的形式。
如：Can you tell me how I can get to the railway station?可省略为：Can you tell me how to get to the railway station?如：I don’t know what I should do.可省略为：I don’t know what to do.导言第一句中的without后面接的是动名词结构。
without是介词，介词后一般接名词（词组）作宾语，有时也接动名词（短语）或从句作宾语。
如：He went to work without breakfast.They left without saying goodbye to the host and the hostess.The instrument is important to us, without which we can never do the experiment.spend：a.花费（钱，时间等）常见的结构是：spend money/time on something 和spend time (in) doing如：I spent ten dollars on the shirt.They spent two and a half hours on their homework.They spent two and a half hours (in) doing their homework.b.度过如：How do you spend your spare time?He has spent all his life in the small village.导言第二句中的sound是连系动词，意思是“听上去”，该词后面的结构作的是句子的表语。
