HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE
戴茜是如何学会保护野生动物的
AtDaisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. 戴茜一直以来都渴望帮助那些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. 一天她醒来，发现床边有一块飞毯。“Where do you want to go?” it asked. Daisy responded immediately. “I’d like to see some endangered wildlife,” she said. 飞毯问：“你想去哪儿?”戴茜立刻回答道：“我想去看看濒临灭绝的野生动物。“Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to m ake this sweater.” 请带我到遥远的地方，在那里我可以发现为制作这件毛衣而提供毛绒的那种动物。”At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. 飞毯立刻开始起飞了，带她到了中国的西藏。There daisy saw and antelope looking sad. 在那里，戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。It said, “We’re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species.” 它说：“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛，我们正在被屠杀。我们的毛被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。因此，我们现在濒临灭绝了。”At that Daisy cried, “I’m sorry I didn’t know that. I wonder what is being done to help you.
Flying carpet, please show me a place where there’s some wildlife protection.” 听了这话，戴茜哭了：“我很抱歉，我过去不知道还有这回事儿。我不知道为了帮助你们正在采取什么措施。飞毯啊，请把我带到一个有野生动植物保护的地方去，好吗?”
The flying carpet traveled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. 飞毯飞行得如此之快，以至于一转眼他们就来到了津巴布韦。Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by and elephant. 戴茜转过身去，看到一头大象正望着她。“Have you come to take my photo?” it asked. 大象问道：“你是来给我拍照的吗?”In relief Daisy burst into laughter.戴茜如释重负，突然笑了起来。“Don’t laugh,” said the elephant, “We us ed to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. 大象说道，“我们过去是濒危动物，农民们总是惨无人道地捕杀我们。They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. 他们说，我们破坏了他们的农田，而旅游者的钱过去都流进了大型旅游公司。So the government decided to help. 于是政府决定出面提供帮助。They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. 如果游客付给农民钱的话，他们允许游客来猎取一定数量的动物。Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. 如今农民高兴了，我们的数量也在增加。So good things are being done here to s ave local wildlife.”因此，为了拯救当地的野生动植物，他们也在做一些好事。”
Daisy smiled, “That’s good news. 戴茜笑道：“这可是个好消息。It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I’d like to help as the WWF suggests.” 这体现了野生动植物保护的重要性，不过，我还是想按照世界自然基金会(WWF)的建议来帮助你们。” The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. 飞毯再次升起，几乎一转眼他们就到了茂密的热带雨林。A m&111nkey watched them as it rubbed itself. 一只猴子一边擦着身体，一边望着他们。“What are you doing?” asked Daisy. 戴茜问它：“你在干什么呢?”“I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes,” it replied. 它回答说：“我这样做可以防止蚊虫叮咬。When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. 当我发现一种千足虫，便把它擦在身上，它含有一种强效的药物可以防止蚊虫叮咬。You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live the appreciate how the animals live together. 你们应该多加关注我生活的热带雨林，并且懂得热带雨林的动物是如何在一起生活的。No rainforest, no animals, no drugs.”没有雨林，就没有动物，也就没有药物了。”
Daisy was amazed. 戴茜很惊讶。“Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. “飞毯，请带我回家去，我可以告诉世界自然基金会，我们可以开始生产这种新药。M&111nkey, please come and help.” The m&111nkey agreed. 猴子，请跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了，The carpet flew home. As
they landed, things began to disappear. 毯子飞回了家。当他们着地时，一切就开始消失了。Two minutes later everything had gone-the
m&111nkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. 两分钟后，什么都没了──猴子也没了。这样，戴茜就不能制造新药了。But what an experience! 但是，这是一次多么奇妙的经历呀!She had learned so much! And there was always WWF…她学了那么多东西!而且，还有世界自然基金会呢……

Animal extinction
动物灭绝
Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth. The most famous of these animals are dinosaurs. They lived on the earth tens million of years ago, long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at that time. There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to live in china. The eggs of twenty-five species have been found in Xixia County, Nanyang, Henan Province. Not long ago a rare new species of bird-like dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang Country, Liaoning Province. When scientists inspected the bones,they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb trees. They learned this from the way the bones were joined together.
在地球漫长的历史中许多动物都消失了。其中最有名的动物是恐龙。他们几千万年前生活在地球上，远远早于人类的出现，在当时他们的未来似乎是安全的。有许多不同种类的恐龙，并且大量的恐龙以前生活在中国。已经有25种恐龙蛋在河南省南阳市西峡县被发现了。不久前一种稀有的像鸟类的恐龙在辽宁省朝阳县被发现。当科学家们考察了骨头，他们惊讶地发现，这些恐龙不仅可以像其它类恐龙那样跑，而且也能爬树。他们是从骨头的连接方式了解到一点的。
Dinosaurs died out suddenly about65million years
ago.Some scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air.Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on any more.Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaur disappeared from the earth in such a short time.
约65万年前恐龙突然灭绝了。一些科学家认为它是突然到来的，当时一块太空巨石撞击了地球并扬起了太多灰尘遮蔽了天空。也有人认为地球变得太热以至于不再适于恐龙生活。没有人确切知道为什么和怎样恐龙在这么短的时间从地球上突然消失。
We know many other wild plants,animals,insects and birds have died out more recently.According to a UN report,some844animals and plants have disappeared in the last500years.The dodo is one of them.It lived on the Island of Mauritius and was a very friendly animal.Please listen to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared from the earth.
我们知道很多其他野生植物，动物，昆虫和鸟类最近已经灭绝。据联合国报告，在过去的500年大约844种动植物消失了。渡渡鸟是其中之一。它生活在毛里求斯岛，是一个非常友好的动物。请听一个渡渡鸟故事，以及它是如何从地球上消失的。

He and a colleague were to spend two years there teaching English at a teacher training college. They were the only foreigners in the town. The first semester finished at the end of January and they had four weeks off f or the Spring Festival. They could go anywhere they wished. They decided to take a boat downstream. We decided to buy tickets for the Jiangyou boat. 我们打算买到“江油号”的船票。 Our colleagues said, “You shouldn’t go on those ships. They are very crowded. They are mainly for goods and people trading along the river. 同事们说：“你们不要坐那种船。它们太拥挤，主要是用来运货的。乘客多事沿江做生意的人。 They don’t stop at the temples and there won’t be any other foreigners.” That sounded fine to me. 那些船不停靠庙宇，也不会有别的外国游人乘坐。”我觉得听起来还不错。 We just had to show our passports and they let us get on the boat.我们出示护照后边上了船。 We left the docks on a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining brightly as we sailed downstream through a hilly region. 在一个美丽的午后，我们离开码头。当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候，阳光很灿烂。 Men rode bamboo rafts along the river’s edge and coal boats went past. 男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏，运煤的小船来来往往。 As the sun set we docked at Fengdu. We could see the sun setting behind the white pagoda. It was beautiful. 太阳落山时，我们的船在丰都靠岸。我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉，美丽极了。 We slept through the first gorge, which is called the Qutang Gorge. 穿过长江第一峡——翟塘峡时，我们正在睡梦中。 The gorge narrows to 350 feet as the river rushes through the tow-mile-high mountains. 江水在两英里高峰峦间奔流，峡谷狭窄处只有350英尺。 “Oh, well,” my friend said, “at least we have two more left.”我朋友说；“至少我们还能看见另外两个峡谷”。 At Wushan we made a detour up the Daning River to see some of the smaller gorges. 船到巫山时，我们绕道溯游大宁河，观赏了几处小峡谷。 The next day we went through the ig gorges on the Yangtze River. It was a lovely morning as we went through the Wu Gorge. 第二天，我们经过了长江的大峡谷。在一个美丽的上午轮船驶过巫峡。 We passed the Xiang River, home of Qu Yuan, the 3rd century BC poet. There was so much history long the Yangtze River. 我们还经过了湘江，那是公元前三世纪一位诗人——屈原的家乡。 Every rock looked like a person or animal, every stream that joined the great river carried its legends, every hill was heavy with the past. 长江有太多的历史。块块巨石形象各异，条条支流都流淌着传说，座座小山承载着过往。 As we came out of the third gorge, the Xiling Gorge, we sailed into the construction site of the dam. 穿过长江三峡+西陵峡后，轮船驶入大坝建设处的江面。 All the passengers came on deck. We took pictures and pointed at the site, but we weren’t allowed to get off the boat. 所有乘客都上了甲板，大家拍照片，对着工地指指点点，但不可以下船。 The Chinese flag was blowing in the wind. On a distant mountain was a sign in 20-foot characters. “Build the Three Gorges Dam, Exploit the Yangtze River,” it said. 五星红旗在风中飘扬着。远山上写着英尺大的汉子“建造长江大坝，开发长江资源”。

必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family. Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system. For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages
人教版高中英语必修四课文翻译 第一单元：非洲野生动物研究者 清晨5点45分，太阳刚从东非的贡贝国家公园的上空升起，我们一行人准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里拜访它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家族已经很多年了，她帮助人们了解黑猩猩跟人类的行为是多么的相似。我们当天的首项任务就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着，这时候猩猩们睡醒了，准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去，我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里，黑猩猩或相互喂食，或彼此擦身，这在它们的家庭里是表示爱的方式。简预先提醒我们，到下午的时候我们就会又脏又累。她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍，后来看见它们晚上一切回窝里睡觉了。我明白了猩猩家庭成员之间的联系像人类家庭一样紧密。 在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录黑猩猩的日常生活。从孩提时代起，简就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是，这不是一件简单的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时，对女性来说，住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。她母亲头几个月来帮过她的忙，这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说，她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩猎食动物。而在此之前，人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子，然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的，而她对黑猩猩肢体语言的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。 40年来，简古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活，而不能用于娱乐或广告。她还为黑猩猩建起了可以安全生活的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的，然而，正如她所说的：“我一旦停下来，所有的一切都会涌上心头。我就会想起实验室的黑猩猩，太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时，这个念头总是萦绕着我。我会对自己说：‘难道它们不幸运吗？’然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看到这些，你就永远不会忘记……” 简已经得到了她想要得到的一切：在动物的栖息地工作；获得博士学位；还向世人证明女人和男人一样也能在森林里生活。她激励着人们为妇女们的成就而欢呼喝彩。

Unit 4 A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night. At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city one of the greatest earthquakes of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The sufferings of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were injured during the earthquake. The number of people who were killed or seriously injured reached more than 400,000. But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city’s hospital, 75％of its factories and buildings and 90％of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last. All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.
1.必修四Module1 The City of the Future未来城市 What will the city of the future look like未来的城市会是什么样子呢No one knows for sure, and making predictions is a risky business. 没有人确切的了解，预测也是一件很危险的事情。But one thing is certain---they are going to get bigger before they get smaller.但是有一件事情是可以肯定的---他们将会先变大，然后再变小。In the future, care for the environment will become very important as earth's natural resources run out. 在未来，爱护环境将会很重要，因为地球的资源将濒临枯竭。We will use lots of recycled materials, such as plastic, aluminum, steel, glass, wood and paper, and we will waste fewer natural resources. 我们将会使用大量的可回收材料，例如，塑料、铝、钢铁、玻璃、木头和纸。我们浪费自然资源的程度将会有所减弱。We will also have to rely more on alternative energy, such as solar and wind power.我们也将不得不更多地依赖其他能源。例如，太阳能和风能。All this seems certain, but there are plenty of things about city life in the future which are not certain. 所有的这些似乎是肯定的，但是还有许多关于城市生活的事情仍是未知的。 To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025.为了获知年轻人对未来城市生活的想法，美国得克萨斯州的一位大学老师让他的学生思考如何管理一个在2025 年拥有5万人口的城市，Here are some of the ideas they had:下面是他们的一些构想: Garbage ships To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.垃圾船:为了摆脱垃圾问题的困扰，城市将会用巨型宇宙飞船装载废弃材料，朝太阳射，这样做防止了垃圾填埋和环境间题。 Batman Nets：Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.勤务兵网: 警察逮捕罪犯时，将会向罪犯射出网状物而不是用枪。 Forget smoking：No smoking will be allowed 'within a future city's limits.
