当时大家生活都很艰难,我们家靠我开出租车的收入勉强度日。一天深夜我接到要车电话,令我吃惊的是,到达那个地址时发现是一位柔弱的老太太在等我。她上车后,我便与她攀谈起来。我了解到她要去安养院,医生说她的时间不多了。老太太叫我开车穿过市中心。她指着一些老房子告诉我那是她曾居住或工作过的地方。最后当车子停在安养院门口时,我没有接收她的车费。在那天余下的时间里我陷入了沉思:虽然我得谋生,但是生活的意义不仅仅是为了生存。当周遭情形一片阴暗时,我的一个小小善举可能就是一束烛光,尽管烛火微弱,却温暖了一颗心灵,也令我高尚。我真的为自己的小小善举感到自豪。
That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.
Unit Two
晚饭后,我们大家围坐在壁炉(hearth)旁。苏珊姨妈还沉浸在失去罗伯特姨父的悲伤之中。她轻声讲起了他俩从前的岁月。订婚不久,姨父就去参军了。考虑到当时的严峻形势,许多军人无法生还,你就可以想象姨妈每天有多恐惧。而当姨父从欧洲战场平安返回时姨妈甭提有多开心了。之后,他们结婚成家,抚育了五个孩子。这么多年来,在共同克服生活的艰辛磨难的过程当中,夫妻间的感情越来越深。我被姨妈的故事深深迷住了,这完全不同于我理想中的爱情。在日常生活中,他们并不追求激情浪漫,并没有牢骚满腹,而是实践着“付出”和“分享”。令人感慨的是,这样的爱延续了一辈子。
After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much horrified Aunt Susan was every day, and how much overjoyed she was to see Uncle Robert back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.
Unit Three
大家普遍承认人是社会性的动物,生活在同一社会的我们自然指望有朋友。至于什么是友谊,我们已经学习了古希腊大哲学家亚里士多德、古罗马政治家西塞罗各自不同的定义。不可否
认有些人交朋友仅仅是为了彼此有用,一旦失去这个基础,这种友谊也就中止了。但更多的人渴望“心灵之友(soul pals)" ,即那种拥有高尚情操,能共度磨难的朋友。这样的友谊使我们远离贪欲、暴力,鼓励我们敢于按照自己的信念说话和做事。这样的友谊才是我们说的“真挚的友谊”。正是由于这些朋友的相伴,我们发现自己总在超越原来的自己,成为更好的人。
As is commonly acknowledged / It is commonly recognised that humans are social animals. Living together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, we have read different definitions given by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher,and Cicero, a Roman statesman. No one will deny that some people make friends simply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”—those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and inspire us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”.It is in the company of such friends that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.
Unit Four
一枚金牌证明了奥运冠军的运动才能、决心和勇气。那么这些运动员又是如何让自己有幸获得如此巨大的荣耀呢?登上领奖谷的冠军们能用他们的亲身经历为我们提供答案。首先,在训练的时候,他们就把自己想象成冠军。一旦有了冠军的梦想,他们就勇敢地坚守梦想。此外,优秀的运动员内心迫切地要发挥最佳潜能。他们严于律已,挤出每天可能的每一分钟去练习。尽管他们锲而不舍,有时还有可能失败或者因毫厘之差与金牌失之交臂,但是他们相信自己,不灰心。他们时刻准备接受心理上、技巧上最具挑战性的任务或比赛。事实上,为了获得毕生中那至关重要的机会,所有的冠军都经历过很多的艰难困苦。因此,我们不会说也不能说冠军是幸运的。好运毕竟只眷顾那些准备好迎接好运的人。
A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners’stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and s queeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.
Unit Five
我们都想要健康,在应付各种严峻挑战时想要自己处于最佳状态。健康方面的好建议并不少。例如:均衡饮食、睡眠充足以及每周安排一些时间做运动。一门新学科—时间生物学—为我们提供了一个能取得最佳效率的新方法。这个方法就是协调我们的日常活动与自身身体能力我们将一天中每隔四小时所测得的六个体温读数标记在坐标纸上,让自己熟悉以下信
息:我的体温何时开始上升,何时体温升到最高,何时降到最低。然后,我们遵照时间生物学权威人士的指示来规划我们的日常活动。例如,体力要求最高的工作要在我们体温最高时去做。而与之不同的是,像读书和思考这样的脑力脑力劳动就要在体温下降时去做。这样我们实际做的事就与我们身体的自然节奏相吻合,我们就能如预期一样表现出最佳状态。
We all want to be healthy, to be at our best when handling tough challenges. There has never been a lack of good advice on health. For example, eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and set aside some time every week for exercise. Chronobiology, a new science, has provided us with a new approach to achieving peak efficiency. It is to coordinate our daily activities with our biological capacities. We plot on graph paper six readings of our temperature taken at fourhour intervals throughout a day, and familiarize ourselves with such information as when our body temperature begins to rise, when it reaches its peak/the highest point, and when the bottom/the lowest point appears. Then, we plan our daily activities by following the instructions given by chronobiology authorities. For instance, we tackle the most demanding physical work when our temperature is the highest. By contrast, we pursue mental activities like reading and reflection when our temperature is falling. In this way, what we actually do coincides with our body’s natural rhythms and we achieve our best as predicted.
Unit Six
如今,媒体、商业广告不断地向我们一遍又一遍地重复着物质生活的重要性,以至于我们都被洗脑,以为幸福是可以购买到的。我们向周围的人炫耀新得的一件财产,努力让我们的银行账户不断丰满。我们渴望爱,试图把物质的东西作为爱、柔情和温情的替代品。然而,我们从来没有体验到最大的快乐,我们总是妒忌那些比我们拥有更多钱和权力的人。事实上,我们是把价值观放错了地方,我们没能将物质幸福和精神幸福区分开来。金钱固然十分重要,但是除了金钱以外,我们还应该拥有好朋友、和谐的家庭、强壮的体魄、值得奋斗的目标,这些才能给我们带来长久的快乐。
Nowadays, the media and commercials repeat over and over again the significance of the material side of life, so that we have been all brainwashed into believing that happiness can be purchased. We show off to people around us a new piece of property, and take pains to keep enriching our bank accounts. We are hungry for love, trying to substitute material things for love, gentleness and tenderness. However, we have never experienced maximum happiness. We are always envious of those who have more money and power. As a matter of fact, we have put our values in the wrong things and failed to tell/distinguish material happiness from spiritual happiness. Money is incredibly important, but other than it, we should also have good friends, a harmonious family, a strong body and a worthy goal. It is these things that (will) bring us lasting happiness.
Unit Seven
一所大学,就本质而言,既要为学生提供职业培训,又要让学生的心智得到发展。学生获得了专业技能,具备成为诸如药剂师、工程师、技师、律师等专业人士的起码资格。可以合理地认为,这些技能足以让他们得到一份不错的工作。但是,一个人仅仅有一份好工作能感到满足吗?我们知道多数年轻人注册上大学不仅渴望得到专业培训,而且还要接受素质教育,也就是说,他们要学习前人领悟并留传给他们的知识,接触最优秀思想家的思想和经验,以便成为一
个文明的人。那些仅在自身特别领域有知识的人士会被定义为“机械化原始人”,因为他们没有能力理解其他学科—比如哲学、文学、艺术—的思想和作品。因此,大学最有可能帮助年轻人读完大学后将实现两个梦想:拥有一份不错的工作,他的职业训练将发挥作用;过上一个有意义的、需要多样化知识的生活。
A university, in essence, provides students with both occupational training and intellectual development. The students acquire professional skills in order to have the minimum qualifications to become specialists, such as pharmacists, engineers, technicians and lawyers. It might be reasonable to believe that those skills suffice to enable them to get a good job. Nevertheless, does one feel content with merely a good job? We know that most young people who enroll in universities long for not only professional training, but also quality education; namely, they want to learn what the past learnt for them and get in touch with the minds and experience of the master thinkers in order to become civilized people. Those who are knowledgeable only in their peculiar fields m ay be labeled (as) “mechanized savages”, because of their incompetence in understanding the thinking and works of other fields, for example, philosophy, literature and the arts. Thus, the university is most likely to help young people realize two dreams after they graduate: having a good job where their occupational training will be effective, and living a meaningful life for which diversity of knowledge is required.
Unit Eight
一旦移居国外,我们会焦虑不安,甚至无法处理日常事务。这些“症状”其实都是因为丧失了我们原来熟悉的生活环境所致。这种困惑和焦虑的感觉被称作“文化冲击”。以前,多年形成的生活方式一直使我们感到自由、无拘束,心情愉快。现在为了克服由于文化冲击而导致的一系列不佳感觉,我们必须积极应对。首先,得让自己心胸开阔:把这一切文化差异看作是正常的,然后努力让自己适应新环境。如果我们积极参加一些社区活动,当地文化就会变得更容易理解。常言道,“入乡随俗”。步入一个新的国家也意味着打开一个新世界。虽然“鱼儿离开水”的感觉需要时间消逝,但是,相信我,你最终一定能重新获得自信和幸福感。
Once transplanted abroad, we will feel anxious and uneasy and even unable to deal with daily routines. As a matter of fact, these “symptoms”result from losing our familiar environment. Such a feeling of confusion and anxiety is referred to as “culture shock”. We used to feel free, easy and happy with a life style built up over so many years. Now, to get over a series of bad feelings caused by culture shock, we must act positively / take a positive attitude. First, ask ourselves to be broad-minded: accepting all cultural differences as normal. Then, try to orient ourselves to the new surroundings. The local culture will become more understandable if we actively participate in community activities. As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. Stepping into a new country means opening up a new world. Though it takes time for the feeling of “a fish out of water”to fade / disappear, yet, believe me, you’ll r egain confidence and happiness in the end.

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物，人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analectshas had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. Unit2 圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日，越来越多的非基督徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今，圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞接风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，这个节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重大活动和主要销售季。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival.

南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译（1~10） 第一单元 你去过古玩店吗？如果你能像买家那样博学，你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。 幸运的发现 古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉，阴暗，杂乱无章，迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆放在地面上的，一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。 无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。 我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满了陶器，而且大部分都已破碎。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。 第二单元 无论是男人、女人还是儿童，都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。 时装流行的原理 时尚一直在变化和发展。时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。这些时尚原理保持不变。尽管时尚在变，但是这些原理却不变。他们是识别和预测时尚流行趋势的坚实基础。时尚流行的基本原理包括以下几条： 1．时尚的流行一般采取渐进的方式，很少采取突变的方式。时尚通常从一种风格逐渐地向另一种风格进化，是进化式的，而不是快速地变化。这一点经常可以从女裙长度的变化中得到体现。在一个季节中人们不希望裙子的长度有较大的变化。一般裙长要在几个季节甚至几年时间里缓慢地增加或减少。在20世纪50年代后期以及以后的10年里，裙子的长度开始以每年约1英寸的速度缩短，直至变成20世纪60年代后期的超短式样。在整个70年代，裙子的长度又逐渐增加。 2．消费者创造时尚。是消费者通过接受一种款式而抛弃另一种款式来决定流行的时尚，而不是设计师或制造商。尽管设计师、制造商、销售商可以促进或减缓新时尚的流行，但最终对时尚的接受与否还要取决于消费者。 3．价格不会影响时尚的流行。时尚的流行与否并不取决于价格。尽管一个新款式推出的价格会很高，但很快会有各种价格变化。一件向设计师定做的服装售价可能会高达几千美元，但是一旦此款式被仿制并以成衣批量生产，就会出现不同的价格以适合不同层次消费者的要
