UNIT 1
I am frequently asked the question ,”Can you use chopsticks”I have lived in Korea ,Japan and China .In each country , I have ,more often than not and without having requested one ,been given a fork when one was available .I have politely refused and said that I would be fine with chopsticks .Sometime, I have to make further explanation.
Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant .In fact ,learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks .This is not to say I was skillful, though .Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me ,whereas learning the rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult .Just how many times do I have to say ”no ,thank you”when I really mean”no ,thank you ,I truly am full ”?How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone ?If I insist and I still get more ,is it appropriate just not to eat it ?This would be impolite where I come from.
I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great .I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.
UNIT 2
This was what all of the training and pain was about-winning .I watched TV to see the young runner who had been under my coaching for the last few years .I would have been there on the spot had it not been for the traffic problem .I couldn’t make it even on my bicycle. While I watched the young runner enter to the cheers of thousands of people ,I could not help thinking of the pains that he had gone through in his training.
The young runner was hardly considered to be promising when he first came to me .There were countless training sessions full of pain for him .I had seen fatigue written on his face I had heard him swear at me .I had been indifferent to his anger and pain .It was clear that only hard work could earn him success .I had smiled to myself when I found that he had too much passion to give up .And he would persist with the training until he reached perfection .I had never forgot to remind him that despite the challenges he had to keep on practice. It was unfair that he had no time for his G F. But that was life for him.
The thunderous shouts and cheers drew me back to the TV screen .Oh, my dear ,the young runner was gaining speed .He was running to the finish line .He was strong enough to beat other runners .His courage ,heart and discipline together with his years of practice won him the honor. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I found on the screen the young runner was looking around .I understood at once that he was looking for me .For year ,he had become so used to my presence ,success or failure .It must have seemed strange for him to find me missing.
UNIT 3
I didn’t marry for all the”right reasons”.Love had nothing to do with
married me because I made him feel young .He was such an ordinary man going around his very ordinary midlife crisis .He was divorced ,looking for younger women and a career change .That didn’t bother me, though .He was still fairly charming ,pretty handsome and above all rich .I married for money ,and I don’t have any doubt about it .My friends don’t applaud my decision ,but I can also tell that they wish, at least a little bit ,for some of the same things that I now enjoy .They always prefer to speed a lot of time by my swimming pool than at their common little homes .And another thing, they are always complaining about their ”beloved”. ”He’s always watching how much I spend.”It’s become more like a business relationship than a marriage.’
My husband, however ,doesn’t care how much I spend and our marriage never become a business because it already was one. You could say, we have a mutual understanding .We are very realistic about the whole thing .It is painful for my friends when they realize that love is just an illusion. Marriage for love never existed for me. And, he’ll never divorce me .He’d lose too much money.
UNIT 4
Love is important because without it life has no meaning or purpose .ILove allows us to do more than we could ever accomplish without its power. So often we take good care of our physical needs .We make sure our bodies are fed ,cleaned ,clothed, exercised and rested .However ,we tend to overlook the most important need-love .Of course, as a society ,love is not overlooked .Popular media constantly places great emphasis on what we need to do to attract”love”. But being loved is not as powerful an emotional need as that desire to love someone else.
The need to love and care for other is built into us biologically .This need is what allows parents to give up sleep and food while raising their children. This need is what allows people to put themselves at risk to save other from natural disasters or threats.
Love means to cherish ,hold dear, and treasure. We do not hurt, harm ,or cause pain to those we love ;rather, we seek to alleviate their suffering .It’s not about wanting to possess or control others; it’s about wanting to set them free .Love is the power that allows the wheel of life to continue turning ,for when we love beyond our own needs and desires. We sacrifice our time ,our energy, our wishes, and sometimes even ourselves because of love .It is love that allows emergency services personnel to face danger. It is love that allows soldiers to risk everything. The ultimate definition of love is not about feeling good but rather about doing good.
UNIT 5
“Knock it off!”Billy would not cease banging his foot on the table. Mrs.Stewart had lost all patience in telling him to stop. Her words were falling on deaf ears .She had asked her son to quit doing sth. that was bothering her so many times that she hardly even knew the words were coming from her mouth .Billy had got used to this .He just ignored his mom’s expressions like these .He banged on without a pause.
She used to try to phrase her words in positive ways like,”When you bang on the table that way ,it upsets me. Would you mind doing sth. else that is a little quieter? ”There was warmth in her voice and she had all of the best intentions. But when she
actually managed to get Billy’s attention in this way, he simply replied ,’But I’m bored.’She tried to offer him a bunch of alternatives, but nothing worked and it all became too tedious .It had become noticeable even to herself that she was increasingly using negative expressions.
Mrs.Stewart seems to understand that even if she shouts she can’t expect Billy to respond immediately. But she still believes that to keep on applying the pressures might work someday .Children may learn that arguing no longer works because of her continuous shouting.
UNIT 6
What’s in a name? Your fate could have been entirely different if you had been given a different name at your birth. Some of us recognize that our name does not necessarily fit and start using a different name rather than the one we were given. Many of us choose to use our middle name so we can be true to our parents, and at the same time be more confident. Some people who have changed their name claim that their professional lives improved .They feel better about themselves so they are more likely to achieve more .But those who have changed their names are not just being overly sensitive. Name themselves convey some information causing others to make judgment based solely on them .Here is an example :A magazine declined to print a writer’s name simply because the editor thought it suited a baseball player more than an art critic .Another example: A women at a party became embarrassed when she wanted to be introduced to a man she had declined because of his name .One study showed that teachers give different grades to the identical essays written by boys with different names. Similarly, girls’popularity can be related to their names.
Yet, which name works and which does not depend on the times .The good qualities of a well-liked president or actor can often influence how a name is seen .But if a name becomes too well-known ,it might also fall out of favor as parents look for sth.
a little more unique for their child.
UNIT 7
I was in a bad temper .I was just like the stress in my life that was running out of control .I could probably attribute it to financial stress .My company was cutting jobs and they were evaluating each worker’s performance .This was inevitable in those days of rising competition and shrinking companies .The companies were getting smaller because of the hopeless economic conditions .I knew I was being considered as one of the workers they would let go though I had been overworking .Or maybe it was my home life .My wife and I had gotten in an argument and my 19-year-old daughter announced that she was leaving the house to move in with her boyfriend.
I am usually not a person of quick temper ,but yesterday was different .I rode my bike to work as usual；it’s about 20 kilometers .I had stopped for a red light and then proceeded when the light turned green .I had assumed the car coming from my right would stop, but instead it went right on through the red light and nearly hit me .I barely had time to react .I grabbed my bike lock and threw it at his car ,hitting his rear window and making a crack.
lock from the ground for protection .Then he reached for his phone to call the police.
UNIT 8
It is strange that some people tell us the economy is bad and the job market is changing for the worse, especially for young people. This puzzles me. From my perspective, the world is never seen so many incredible opportunities for young p e o p l e e x i t i n g c o l l e g e. Trends toward specialized careers and lower salaries leave economists and sociologists fearful that the next generation of employees will be confined to roles that are too narrow and thus not regarding enough. Many say corporations are taking advantage of the labor force. But, no one is forcing our youth into such occupations. If a rewarding job does not exist in the current system, they’ll have to create it for themselves. The Internet has already answered students’cries for more career possibilities. The next breakthrough to create something truly creative is bound to happen anything now. At the same time let’s ensure that students are prepared for t h e d a y w h e n t h e i r c h a n c e s a r e c o m i n g. By telling our young people everything has already been done and that there is nothing left to dream about, we are robbing them of the opportunity to create a system that is new and exciting, outside the confines of what is currently imaginable. But then again, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I shouldn’t worry about our youth at all. Their ability to challenge what is before them and defy our unnecessary worries is their great strength. Maybe by telling them they can’t, we are in effect encouraging them to create something truly incredible. All in all, the future for the young people is n o t g l o o m y;i n s t e a d,i t i s p r o m i s i n g.
UNIT 9
Journalists play a very important part in the way we see the world around us .It is unfortunate that increasingly the standpoint of the reporter or the news agency is advanced in the story .This is not good reporting , which should involve all of the key facts and an account of those facts in an objective manner .In this way ,the public can take the information and form its own opinion .It is the responsibility of the media to ensure that this happens.
Far too often these days ,reporters from scattered places around the globe are looking for the most thrilling stories instead of focusing on the stories that are the most important .News has become a form of entertainment rather than an accurate source of information .It used to be that we could count on our news media to find information we are interested in, but nowadays many media organizations have owners who have political aims ,and many reporters even receive wages from political groups .Naturally, we cannot expect the truth from such journalists. Another problem is that any person or organization can post information on the internet without considering whether it is true or not .It has become a real nuisance to find information that has been put out in such manners .Good reporting has become unusual indeed.
UNIT 10
In the summer of 1940,the German air force attempted to win air advantage over southern Britain and the RAF and the British
aircraft industry .This attempt came to be known as the Battle of Britain .The Germans had invaded Belgium and the Netherlands in May 1940,using the Lightning War technique that largely relied on close coordination between ground troops and the air force .Although the air force proved effective in this role ,it was not trained for the longer-range operations that became part of the Battle of Britain.
It is widely believed that had the Germans succeeded in their aim of destroying the RAF ,they would have been able to invade Britain relatively easily .This was, after all , at a time when the country was the only European power resisting Nazi Germany ,even though she did enjoy great support from her partners.
Although the fear of a German invasion was real , it was real ,it was perhaps unfounded. When planning the air attacks the Germans made the mistake of regarding the English Channel as a relatively minor obstacle , little more than a wide river crossing. In addition , even if Hitler had achieved his aim of destroying the RAF, Germany might still have failed to establish a foothold, because the British Royal Navy was enormously strong. There was nothing to stop them from withdrawing their aircraft out of range of the German fighters.

They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, tho ugh in two different situations and with two different feelings.

新视野大学英语第三版第二册读写课文翻译 Unit 1 Text A 一堂难忘的英语课 1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？” 3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4 没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。 5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。实际上，他们应该说They've just eaten。因此，批评学生不合乎情理。 7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
