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。

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。

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。
