Chinese Translation of Paragraphs1. 电话的发明，产生了一个始料不及的后果，书写过时了。

诚然，全职的写字工仍然存在，包括记者、学者以及职业写手。

大型商业中心仍然很有必要保留一些能草拟备忘录、会议纪要、新闻稿或者合同的人。

但是在举笔和拿起话筒之间选择的话，大多数人都会走便道，让手指——有时还有大脑——休息片刻。

2. 与之相比，当前计算机网络上发生的现象就更为惊人了。

每个夜晚，当人们本应该看电视的时候，成千上万的计算机用户坐在键盘前，点击进入“电脑服务”、“奇才”、“美国在线”或互联网，并开始打字——发电子邮件、发布信息、聊天、夸夸其谈、谩骂，甚至创作短篇小说和诗歌。

当麦克卢汉所说的媒介正在淘汰莎士比亚时代的媒介时，网络世界正经历着18世纪以来信件书写最为迅猛的发展。

3. “我确信电子邮件和网上会议正在教会整整一代人写文章是多么有用，可以灵活到何种程度，”《旧金山纪事报》的专栏作家乔恩·卡洛尔这样写道。

石山图书出版社的编辑帕特里克·尼尔森·海顿把当今的电子公告板比作18世纪末19世纪初的“文字盒”：这是个小盒子，盒内的文章在多人间传递，每人经手时都会增加一些句子。

来自亚利桑那大学的副主编大卫·塞维尔则将网络写作喻为马克·吐温在19世纪60年代在旧金山所发现的文学景象，“当时人们将新闻报道嫁接到夸张的民俗传统故事之中，创造了新的新闻报道方式”。

更有甚者，有人想起了汤姆·潘恩和美国革命时期政治小册子作家，甚至还想起了伊丽莎白一世时期，古腾堡活字印刷术的发明，令一代英国作家沉迷在语言之中。

4. 可是这种比较又引出一个问题：如果说当今的网络写作代表了某种复兴，但为何这么多网络作品又如此糟糕呢？网络写作可能会低劣不堪：文体拖沓、漫无边际、愚蠢幼稚、不合语法、拼写糟糕、结构不当，有时甚至毫无内容可言，正如网络上典型的短信息所示：“嗨！！！1！我觉得金属乐队酷毙了！1 ！！！”5. 当然，原因之一就是电子邮件不同于常规写作。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案完整版新世纪大学英语综合教程2Unit 1 Living in HarmonyText A “我原谅你”1并非只有婚姻关系才需要宽恕。

我们与子女、朋友、同事、邻居，甚至陌生人相处时同样需要宽恕。

事实上，没有宽恕的氧气。

任何人际关系都无从维系。

宽恕并不是脾气好的人们才拥有的特质，它是所有关系的必要条件，也是自己身心健康不可缺少的。

、2有些人可能认为自己受伤太深、次数太多，无法宽恕、可耐人寻味的是，恰恰是被伤得最深的人，才真正需要宽恕别人。

原因很简单：仇恨就像癌症。

会毁掉宿主。

如果不尽快铲除。

它就会生根发芽，是那些执意仇恨无法释怀的人受伤甚至死亡。

3因为事实是。

除非我们能宽恕他人，否则就永远无法恢复。

伤口会继续溃烂，永不愈合。

中国有句古谚，“复仇者必自绝”4对有些人来说。

宽恕他人似乎是不可能的，因为他们根本不知从何做起，首先你要接受一个非常重要的事实：宽恕他人并不是件容易的事。

事实上，对于我们大多数人来说。

这也许是最难做到的。

5被伤害的是我们，却还要宽恕他人，这似乎毫无公平可言。

然而这正是宽恕的关键所在。

6“宽恕并忘记”，这句俗话谁都会脱口而出，但实际上既简单又肤浅。

一则这是绝对不可能的，二则它完全偏离了宽恕的真正含义。

生活中最需要宽恕的事正是那些无法忘记的事。

我们不应把这些事掩饰起来，而需记住它们，并有意不因此对做过这些事的人怀有成见，然后继续生活。

7这就是为什么有的时候会感到：宽恕别人，一开始会相对容易些，难的是每次你看到那个人，与他谈话，甚至只是想起他之后如何控制自己的感情。

真正的宽恕不是一劳永逸之举，而是持久的情感面对。

8等待越久，宽恕就越难。

实际上，时间不会愈合伤口，只会让愤懑和仇恨更长时间地吞噬你的内心。

如果要等待“适当的时候”，你也许永远都找不到机会。

9开始运用宽恕的艺术之前，你先要问自己这样一个问题：我们中有多少人在特定的场合下是完全无辜的呢？10几年前，我和妻子买了一件便宜家具。

综英第六册课后翻译参考答案Unit 11.这项计划为智力迟钝者提供长期的照顾。

Unit Six陈雪雷整理比利杰夫·迈克马伦所有重大的战役都是在自己内心进行的。

——谢尔登·考格斯数年前（1983—1987），我有机会为麦当劳公司扮演吉祥小丑罗纳德·麦当劳的角色。

我的市场范围涵盖亚利桑那州的大部分地区和南加州的部分地区。

我们例行的活动之一便是“罗纳德日”。

每个月中的某一天，我们都要探访尽可能多的社区医院，给那个谁也不想去的地方带去一点快乐。

能为正在经历“消沉时期”的大人和孩子带去一点欢乐，我感到十分自豪。

从活动中感受到的温暖和喜悦一连几周萦绕在我身边。

我喜欢这个项目，麦当劳公司喜欢这个项目，孩子和大人喜欢这个项目，护理人员及医务人员也喜欢这个项目。

每次探访我都受到两条规定的限制。

第一，没有麦当劳员工以及医院工作人员的陪同，我不得在医院随意走动。

这样，如果我走进某个病房吓着了孩子，旁边就会有人及时处理这一问题。

第二，我不得用身体接触医院里的任何人。

他们可不希望我把病菌从一个病人传播到另一个病人身上。

我能理解他们实施“不准触摸”这一规定的理由，可我并不喜欢它。

我认为触摸是我们所能知道的最真诚的交流方式。

书面文字、口头语言都可以撒谎，热烈的拥抱是不可能撒谎的。

我被告知，违反其中任何一条规定都意味着我会失去这份工作。

我的“罗纳德日”进行到第四年年末的某一天，已经一整天涂着油彩的我走在医院的走廊上，正准备回家，这时传来一阵轻轻的叫喊声：“罗纳德，罗纳德。

”我停了下来。

那微弱的、细细的声音来自一间半掩着门的病房。

我推开房门，只见一个5岁上下的小男孩躺在他爸爸的怀里，身上连着的医疗仪器之多是我平生未曾见到过的。

妈妈在另一头，旁边还有爷爷、奶奶和一位监护仪器的护士。

病房里的气氛使我知道病人的情况很严重。

我问小男孩叫什么名字，他告诉我他叫比利，随后我为他变了些简单的戏法。

当我后退着道别时，我问比利我还能为他做些什么。

“罗纳德，你愿意抱抱我吗？”如此简单的一个请求。

我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。

they aren't thinking about the music either. Music
allows them to leave it, and they go off to a place to
dream, dreaming because of and apropos of the music
5 The second plane on which music exists is what I have called the expressive one. Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music's expressive side.

6 Listen, if you can, to the 48 fugue themes of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavichord. Listen to each theme, one after another. You will soon realize that each theme mirrors a different world of feeling. You will also soon realize that the more beautiful a theme seems to you the harder it is to find any word that will describe it to your complete satisfaction.

Unit ‎1误‎会‎佚名‎‎他头发蓬乱‎，衣着肮脏‎，口袋里只‎有35美分‎。

在马里兰‎州的巴尔的‎摩，他登上‎一辆公共汽‎车并径直走‎向了洗手间‎。

他想如果‎他躲在洗手‎间里，便可‎以不付钱就‎乘车去纽约‎。

但是坐在‎公共汽车后‎面的一位乘‎客看见了他‎。

她拍了拍‎她前面那位‎乘客的肩膀‎说：“洗手‎间里有个流‎浪汉。

告诉‎公共汽车司‎机。

”那位‎乘客轻轻地‎拍了一下坐‎在他前面的‎人，说道：‎“告诉公共‎汽车司机，‎洗手间里有‎个流浪汉。

‎这口信通‎过一个又一‎个的乘客传‎到了公共汽‎车的前边。

‎但在这一过‎程的某个环‎节，口信变‎了。

当它传‎到公共汽车‎司机那儿时‎，已经不是‎“洗手间里‎有个流浪汉‎”，而是“‎洗手间里有‎颗炸弹”。

‎司机马上在‎公路边停下‎车来并用无‎线电通知了‎警察。

当警‎察到达时，‎他们让乘客‎下车并且远‎离汽车。

然‎后他们关闭‎了那条公路‎。

那很快就‎造成了15‎英里长的交‎通堵塞。

警‎察在警犬的‎帮助下，在‎公共汽车上‎搜查了两个‎小时。

当然‎，他们没有‎发现什么炸‎弹。

两个‎发音相似的‎英语单词给‎一个想从洛‎杉矶飞往加‎利福尼亚州‎奥克兰的人‎也造成了麻‎烦。

他的问‎题始于洛杉‎矶机场。

他‎以为听到广‎播中宣布了‎他的航班，‎所以他走向‎登机门，出‎示了机票并‎登上了飞机‎。

起飞20‎分钟后，这‎人开始担心‎起来。

奥克‎兰在洛杉矶‎的北边，但‎是飞机似乎‎正在向西飞‎，而当他向‎窗外望去时‎，他所能看‎到的全是大‎海。

“这架‎飞机是去奥‎克兰吗?”‎他问航班服‎务员。

航班‎服务员倒抽‎了一口冷气‎，“不，”‎她说。

“我‎们去奥克兰‎——新西兰‎的奥克兰。

‎”因为有‎这么多英文‎单词发音相‎似，讲英语‎者之间的误‎会并不罕见‎。

并非所有‎的误会都会‎导致公路关‎闭或乘客飞‎错大陆。

大‎多数误会远‎没有这么严‎重。

每天讲‎英语的人会‎相互问这样‎的问题:“‎你是说七十‎还是十七?‎”“你是说‎你能来还是‎不能来?”‎发音相似的‎单词对把英‎语作为第二‎语言的人来‎说，特别容‎易让人混淆‎。

Unit SevenON HUMAN NATURE Frank and Lydia Hammer我对人类的了解越多，对他们的期望就越低。

和以前相比，我现在常常以较宽松的标准把一个人叫做好人。

——塞缪尔·约翰逊博士论人性弗兰克，莉迪亚·汉默尔1 Human nature is the basis of character, the temperament and disposition; it is that indestructible matrix upon which the character is built, and whose shape it must take and keep throughout life. This we call a person's nature.1人性是性格、气质和性情的基础，性格正是基于这种牢不可破的基质之上的，它必须以这种基质的形式存在，并将它保留终生，这种基质，我们称之为一个人的本性。

2 The basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change. It is only the surface that is capable of alteration, improvement and refinement; we can alter only people's customs, manners, dress and habits. A study of history reveals that the people who walked thisearth in antiquity were moved by the same fundamental forces, were swayed by the same passions, and had the same aspirations as the men and women of today. The pursuit of happiness still engrosses mankind the world over.2人类的本性不会也不能改变，只有一些表面特征才会变化、改善和进一步提升；我们可以改变人们的风格、举止、衣着和习惯。

《全新版大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译及答案》Unit 1 Growing Up为自己而写——拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。

在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。

我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。

我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。

弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。

弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。

据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。

我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。

他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。

他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。

他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。

我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。

后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。

弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。

像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。

我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。

我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。

我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。

这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。

贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。

那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。

多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有一个吃起来得心应手的。

艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作一团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。
