大学英语综合教程unit2 textA课文翻译You Changed My Life, Miz LaneWHY NOT?! I must have said that a million times growing up. My grandparents raised me in a Philadelphia suburb, and whenever I couldn’t have something I wanted, I’d say, "Why not?!” even though I knew the reason: there was no money for extras. To me, Why not?! were words of complaint. It wasn’t until I met Miz Lane, the schoolteacher across the street, that I learned Why not?! are the two of the most powerful words in the English language-the words of possibility.No one expected me to amount to much. Not my parents, who abandoned my brothers and me. Not my grandparents, who loved us but were too overwhelmed with keeping us fed and clothed to think beyond the basics. Not my teachers, who saw a kid more interested in sports than books. And certainly not me. The only place I didn’t feel lost was the playground. I was small but fast and good at playing ball.My grandparents’ neighborhood was one modest square block in an otherwise affluent area. Miz Lane and her family moved in when I was nine. Her son, Norman, and I were both little and scrawny. People said we looked like brothers. One day Norman and I got into a sandlot fight (the "you’re the new kid on the block” fight). After an unimpressive pugilistic m oment (by our neighborhood standards), he asked, "Want to come over for peanut butter and jelly?” I sure did!The first time I stepped inside the Lanes’ house, I could tell it was different. There was a warmth to it, a warmth I’d never known. And it came from Norman’s mom, Miz Lane. She sat us downand fixed us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I depended on the free lunch program at school, so that was a real treat.Miz Lane must have sensed that I was hungry for more than food. She asked about me. What was my favorite sport? Did I like to ride bikes? "You come over anytime,” Miz Lane said.I did, almost every day. Norman got to be my best friend, and the Lanes’ house was my refuge, especially after my grandmother died when I was 10. That summer, Norman went away to camp. I still dropped by. Miz Lane would fix me a snack. I’d help her do the dishes. She’d comb my hair (I was sporting an Afro then). It took a while to work through the kinks, and that’s when we had our best talks. She’d have me read from Miss Manners or the encyclopedia. She never stopped teaching, not even during summer vacation.One day that fall, I told her, "I’m thinking about trying out for the school play.” Not that there was any chance I’d make it. "Why not?!” Miz Lane said. "You’l l never know how good you are until you try.”I was stunned. No one had ever had that kind of faith in me before. The next day, I tried out. To my surprise, I landed a role. I raced straight from school to Miz Lane’s. "They chose me!”"Why not?!” she said. Her smile told me she knew I’d had it in me all along."Why not?!” Miz Lane asked when I mentioned learning the cello. "Why not?!” she demanded when she urged me to take collegepreparatory courses instead of vocational classes. "Get ready for college. Don’t let others define your possibilities.”Norman and I went away to college. He graduated. I didn’t. Maybe it was because I missed Miz Lane’s daily wisdom. My girlfriend and I had a baby. I dropped out and moved back in with my grandfather. I got a job as a stock boy. At first, I was too embarrassed to visit Miz Lane. I felt I’d let her down.I’d let myself down too. I wanted to do bigger things. But how?I had no money, no degree, a child to support. All of a sudden, I heard Miz Lane’s voice in my he ad, clear as a bell: Why not?!I enlisted in the Air Force and went to tell Miz Lane. "I’m going to make something of myself,” I said. She hugged me. I’d never felt so proud.The Air Force trained me to be a translator and stationed me in Germany. My secret dream was to play pro soccer. I was a good player, still fast, and I made the Air Force team.The day before a big playoff game, I got word that Norman died in a car accident. I dedicated the game to my best friend. In the second half I jumped up to kick the ball. I landed funny. My knee buckled. Just like that, my dream was finished.I went back to Philly for Norman’s funeral on crutches. Soon as Miz Lane saw me, she cried, "From now on, you’re my son.”It was a responsibility I had to live up to. "I’d like to stay in sports, go back to school to study athletic training,” Isaid. Guess what Miz Lane said. "Why not?!”At St. Joseph’s University I was the head athletic trainer by day and a student by night. At graduation, Miz Lane’s smile told me again: I knew you had it in you.I got a job as the Philadelphia 76ers head athletic trainer.A few years later I landed an executive position. I thought I’d hit the jackpot. So I was taken aback when Miz Lane said, "I know there’s something bigger waiting for you.”"How do you know that?” I asked."Your story is an inspiration to everyone in this neighborhood,” she said. "You need to write a book to show other people how they can do what you did.”"I can’t write a book!”"Why not?!” Miz Lane said. And as usual, she was right.Last year I wrote Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, a book about finding and following your dreams. Now I travel the world, talking to business groups and most importantly, to kids. If I could make something of myself, I tell them, they can too. It’s my way of following in the footsteps of the best teacher I ever had. Why not?!为什么不呢?! I must have said that a million times growing up.我必须说,一百万次成长起来。
全新版大学英语(第二版)综合教程2课文翻译全新版大学英语(第二版)综合教程2课文翻译Lesson 1: A Trip to the Great Wall 乘夏空飞翱翔Today, I'd like to share with you the translation of the first lesson in the textbook "A Trip to the Great Wall" from the new edition of the Comprehensive English Course 2. This lesson introduces a lively and memorable trip to the Great Wall of China.As we begin our journey, our eyes are immediately met with breathtaking views. Stretching over 21,000 kilometers across China, the Great Wall is an emblem of ancient Chinese civilization. Its grandeur and historical significance attract millions of tourists each year.The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. Construction first began during the Qin Dynasty and continued throughout various dynasties. It served as a key defense system, protecting the Chinese empire from invasions. In the present day, it stands as a prominent symbol of China's rich cultural heritage.During our trip, we had the opportunity to walk along the Wall and immerse ourselves in its history. The feeling of standing on the Wall, gazing at the vast landscape, was truly indescribable. It was as if we were transported back in time, experiencing the challenges and triumphs of the past.The Wall's architectural features are truly remarkable. Its solid structure is built from layers of brick, stone, and other materials, providing stability and strength. Along the Wall, there are watchtowers strategically located to ensure timely communication and defense.Not only is the Great Wall a historical treasure, but it also offers stunning natural scenery. The Wall winds through mountains, valleys, and even deserts, offering breathtaking views at every turn. We were captivated by the beauty of the surrounding landscape, enhancing our overall experience.Furthermore, the Great Wall has become a symbol of unity and perseverance. From the hands of countless laborers who dedicated their lives to its construction, the Wall stands as a testament to human determination and ambition. It serves as a reminder that through unity and hard work, great achievements can be made.In conclusion, our trip to the Great Wall was a truly unforgettable experience. It allowed us to appreciate the historical significance, magnificent architecture, and natural beauty that the Wall embodies. It taught us valuable lessons about the importance of preserving and cherishing our cultural heritage. It is an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.Through the translation of this lesson, we hope to inspire more people to explore and appreciate the rich history and cultural wonders of the Great Wall. Let us continue to celebrate and protect this iconic symbol of China's greatness.。

So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people,linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself of。

Unit 1 Learning Styles学习风格Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West.哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。
Learning, Chinese-StyleHoward Gardner中国式的学习风格霍华德·加德纳1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。
2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it.我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。
由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。
3 Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot.本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。
他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。
由于他还年幼,不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成,因此总塞不进去。
本杰明一点也不在意。
他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
4 Now both Ellen and I were perfectly happy to allow Benjamin to bang the key near the key slot. His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. Any Chinese staff member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamin's hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The "teacher" would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you ─and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties.我和埃伦都满不在乎,任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。
他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。
但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。
饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁,都会走过来看着本杰明,见他初试失败,便都会试图帮忙。
他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙的槽口,进行必要的重新定位,并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。
然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑,似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉,似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。
5 I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. And so before long I began to introduce the key-slot anecdote into my discussions with Chinese educators. 我很快意识到,这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关:考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式,揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。
因此,不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。
TWO DIFFERENT W AYS TO LEARN6 With a few exceptions my Chinese colleagues displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel. Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot, which is the ultimate purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child is neither old enough nor clever enough to realize the desired action on his own, what possible gain is achieved by having him struggle? He may well get frustrated and angry ─certainly not a desirable outcome. Why not show him what to do? He will be happy, he will learn how to accomplish the task sooner, and then he can proceed to more complex activities, like opening the door or asking for the key ─both of which accomplishments can (and should) in due course be modeled for him as well.两种不同的学习方式我的中国同行,除了少数几个人外,对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的,既然孩子还很年幼,还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作,让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。
为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴,他还能早些学会做这件事,进而去学做更复杂的事,如开门,或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以(也应该)示范给他看。
7 We listened to such explanations sympathetically and explained that, first of all, we did not much care whether Benjamin succeeded in inserting the key into the slot. He was having a good time and was exploring, two activities that did matter to us. But the critical point was that, in the process, we were trying to teach Benjamin that one can solve a problem effectively by oneself. Such self-reliance is a principal value of child rearing in middle-class America. So long as the child is shown exactly how to do something ─whether it be placing a key in a key slot, drawing a hen or making up for a misdeed ─he is less likely to figure out himself how to accomplish such a task. And, more generally, he is less likely to view life ─as Americans do ─as a series of situations in which one has to learn to think for oneself, to solve problems on one's own and even to discover new problems for which creative solutions are wanted.我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理,解释道,首先,我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。
