Unit1
1. Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of light that leaves you a changed person --- not only changed, but changed for the better: The most inspiring fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.
2. He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist.
At last he came from the other side of the street, wrapped himself in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head covered by a shapeless felt hat. He looked like a short old man full of energy rather than a well-known psychiatrist
3.The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by.
The next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thought she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. She still remembered and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.
4.In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.
】
Eventually, if you form a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstacle, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.
5.… you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future.
… you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. You did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.
6.“My, my,” said the Old Man slyly. “If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we’d have caught that cab, wouldn’t we”
I laughed and picked up the cue. “Next time I’ll run faster.”
The Old Man said to me trickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “If only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d have caught the cab.”
I laughed and understood what he meant. So I followed his advice and said, “Next time I’ll run faster.”
.
Unit2
1、Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah’s edict to Pharaoh.
Moses used his speech defect as an excuse to make it reasonable that he was unwilling to tell God’s command to Pharaoh.
2、Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul.
Delay leads to problems. However, in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.
3、He notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly.
He points out that hastiness may give rise to decisions which turn out to be humiliating or expensive.
4、Bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal ---- and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made.
[
Excessive red-tape developed because public administration was expanding in scope and because society was growing more and more complicated. In this sense, red-tape helped those in charge of policy to be fully engaged in an enormous amount of paperwork and judgment, thus making it impossible for an immature decision to make.
5.…many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page.
…many of my friends have a hard time the moment they attempt to put pen to paper.
Unit3.
1.Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is unnerving; but I suspect ---- I more than suspect, I am convinced ---- that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money
Brought in the old tradition, my father is naturally not to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, I would assume, indeed I am sure that is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical form of the building, but his refusal to change his attitude towards money.
2.If a building’s design made it appear impregnable, the institution was necessarily sound, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architectural symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money, rather than in any aesthetic theory.
(
If a building was made to look invulnerable, it would be regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their attitude towards money
3.In a primitive society, for example, men pictured the world as large, fearsome, hostile, and beyond human control.
People in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.
4.The principal function of today’s wall is to separate possible undesirable outside air from the controlled conditions of temperature and humidity which we have created inside.
Today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.
5.To repeat, it is not our advanced technology, but our changing conceptions of ourselves in relation to the world that determine how we shall build our walls.
Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world
；
Unit4
1.He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts.
He was a man rich in the fancies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.
2.When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.
When all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. And he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesired removed, which he was most delighted in.
3.He could open either door he pleased: he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance. He enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. The only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.
4.This element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it could not otherwise have attained.
The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this form of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.
】
5.Thus the masses were entertained and pleased, and the thinking part of the community could bring no charge of unfairness against this plan; for did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands
Thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those sensible people could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their own destiny
Unit5
1. This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with
a soul as fervent and imperious as his own.
This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions,
a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own
2.Of course, everybody knew that the deed with which the accused was charged and had been done.
It was, of course, known to all, that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.
;
3.…but the king would not think of allowing an y fact of this kind to interfere with the workings of the tribunal, in which he took such great delight and satisfaction.
…even though the king was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocent be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of settling matters of this kind.
4. but gold, and the power of a woman’s will, had brought the secret to the princess.
but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was irresistible, the princess was able to get across the secret.
5. He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king.
He knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.
Unit6
￥
1.There seems to be a general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine; that they need a varied, exciting life in order to do their best.
It is generally believed that a colorless life can freeze a creative mind, and that only
a colorful life can inspire a man to creative work.
2. The outstanding characteristic of man’s creativeness is the ability to transmute trivial impulses into momentous consequences.
One of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even significant feelings to produce far-searching results.
3.An eventful life exhausts rather than stimulates.
A life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.
4.It is usually the mediocre poets, writers, etc., who go in search of stimulating events to release their creative flow.
Only literary artists of an average type rely on excitements in life as a source for their creative work.
{
5.People who find dull jobs unendurable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves when at leisure.
People who are unable to see how to be patient with repetitious work are usually those who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.
Unit7
1. One of Socrates’ main pedagogical acts was to be ugly and teach those innocent, no doubt splendid-looking disciples of his how full of paradoxes life really was.
The contrast between Socrates’ outward ugliness and his inner strengths served to tell his na?ve and handsome followers the fact that there were many such strange contrasts in the world.
2.We not only split off---- with the greatest facility ---- the “inside”(character, intellect) from the “outside”(looks); but we are actually surprised when someone who is beautiful
is also intelligent, talented, good.
We tend to resist the idea that inside beauty (character, intellect) can coexist with outside beauty (looks) in one single person, but in fact we are surprised to meet one who is beautiful both inside and outside.
~
3.Associating beauty with women has put beauty even further on the defensive, morally.
Connecting beauty with women has put beauty in a position which is subject to criticism concerning moral principles.
4.If a woman does real work ---- and even if she has clambered up to a leading position in politics, law, medicine, business, or whatever ---- she is always under pressure to confess that she still works at being attractive.
However successful a woman may be in her career as a politician, lawyer, doctor, businesswoman, or whatever, she unavoidably feels compelled to admit to making an effort to look attractive.
5.One could hardly ask for more important evidence of the dangers of considering persons as split between what is “inside” and what is “outside” than that inte rminable half-comic half-tragic tale, the oppression of women.
The biased attitude towards women ---- the long story of which is both lamentable and laughable ---- is the most powerful proof as to how harmful it can be to judge a person by refusing to put into consideration both inner beauty and outer beauty together.
Unit8
【
1. Besides, the whole toffeeness of toffees was imperceptibly diminished by the gross act of having eaten it.
Apart from that, the entire attraction of the toffee is gone once the toffee is eaten.
2. So, for me, one of the keenest pleasures of appetite remains in the wanting, not the satisfaction.
As far as I am concerned, the greatest pleasure appetite can offer is the longing for what I have yet to achieve rather than to feel content with what I have already achieved.
is why I would carry the preservation of appetite to the extent of deliberate fasting, simply because I think that appetite is too good to lose, too precious to be bludgeoned into insensibility by satiation and overdoing it
My intentional denial of food might be explained by the urge to keep the desire for food constantly afresh in me, which means so much to me that I must handle it with the greatest care so as not to spoil it by overindulgence.
4. A day of fasting is not for me just a puritanical device for denying oneself a pleasure, but rather a way of anticipating a rare moment of supreme indulgence.
An occasional self-denial of food not an indication that I refuse to accept a pleasure. On the contrary, it is a good way to prepare me for pleasure that is even greater for being enjoyed infrequently.
￥
5. Life is short and precious, and appetite is one of its guardians, and loss of appetite is sort of death.
Life is a brief journey, which is worth treasuring. Appetite is one of the thing that accompanies and protects the journey.
Unit9
1. The person who illegally spits on the sidewalk remains disgusting, but clearly poses less risk to others than the company that illegally buries hazardous chemical waste in an unauthorized location.
Spitting on the sidewalk is against the law and is always disgusting. But the harm it does to others seems insignificant when it is compared with the danger a company causes by disposing of poisonous chemical waste in a place where it is not permitted.
2. Red light running has always been ranked as minor wrong, and so it may be in individual instances. When the violation becomes habitual, widespread and incessant, however, a great deal more than a traffic management problem is involved.
Driving through the intersection of a street regardless of the red traffic light is generally considered as misbehavior of little importance. But when it develops into a social habit, it becomes a problem more serious than a mere traffic problem.
3. Innocent drivers and pedestrians pay a repetitious price in frustration, inconvenience and outrage, not to mention a justified sense of mortal peril. The significance of red light running is magnified by its high visibility.
Well-behaved drivers and pedestrians are constantly upset and threatened by danger from violations. The great impact of red-light running is due to its being so noticeable.
4. For all their differences, tod ay’s scofflaws are of a piece as a symptom of elementary social demonstration — the loss by individuals of the capacity to govern their own behavior in the interest of others.
However different in forms, today’s scofflaw is an indication that the soci ety has basically been degraded morally. People seem to have lost their ability to discipline themselves in such a way that the interests of others has been duly taken care of.
5. The most disquieting thing about the scofflaw spirit is its extreme infectiousness. Only a terminally foolish society would sit still and allow it to spread indefinitely.
The rapid spread of scoff Lawry is its most disturbing characteristic. Only a totally irrational society could ever tolerate its unchecked growth.
新世纪大学英语阅读教程翻译 Unit 1 塞克哈尔觉得，事实就像太阳一样。大概没有谁能直视太阳而不眨眼，不觉眩晕。他发觉人际关系的精髓在于时时刻刻调和事实，避免冲突。他设定了一个特殊的日子——一年中至少有一天无论如何必须说实话。否则生命还有什么意义。他对这一天充满无数期待，也没有告诉任何人要做这个实验。这是个秘密的决定，一件永远不为人知的事。 首次尝试便从妻子准备的早餐开始。他对一道美味举筷不定，这可是妻子自认为的厨中之冠。“怎么啦？不好吃吗？”她问道。要是往常，为了照顾她的情绪，他肯定说：“没有，我吃饱了而已。”可今天他却说：“不好吃。我咽不下去。”看到妻子眉头紧锁，他对自己说：“没办法，事实就像太阳一样。” 第二次尝试是在教师休息室，一个同事走过来说：“某某死了听说了吗？觉得很遗憾吧。”“不觉得，”赛克哈尔回答。“他的确是个好人……”另一个还没说完。塞克哈尔就抢过来说：“好什么啊，对我他可是个刻薄、自私的家伙。” 塞克哈尔给三年级A班上最后一节地理课时，收到校长递来的便条：回家前请过来一趟。他自言自语道：“肯定是那些可怕的试卷。一百多份字迹潦草的男生的试卷；他已经消极怠工几个礼拜了，感觉头顶像是悬了一把利剑，随时都有刺下来的可能。” 下课铃响起，孩子们潮水般涌出教室。塞克哈尔在校长门口停了会儿，扣好上衣扣子；扣子也是校长经常训诫的目标。 他进了门，彬彬有礼地说了句：“晚上好，校长。” 校长抬起头看着他，十分友善地问道：“今晚有空吗？” 塞克哈尔回答：“答应过家里的孩子要出去……” “那，可以改天再带他们出去。现在跟我回家。” “噢……好的，校长，当然没问题……”然后怯生生地问：“有什么要紧事吗，校长？”“是的，”校长回答，像是在对自己笑……“你真的不知道我缺乏音乐天赋吗？” “噢，知道，校长……” “我一直在偷偷地学习和练习，今晚想让你听听我演唱。我约好了一个鼓手和一个小提琴手为我伴奏。这还是我的第一次正式演出，想听听你的建议。我知道你的建议弥足珍贵。”塞克哈尔的音乐品味无人不知。他是小镇里最令人生畏的音乐评论人。可他怎么也没想到，他的音乐爱好将它引入这层磨难……。“对你来说，有点突然是吧？”校长问。“我已经关上门花了不知道多少钱……”他们开始往校长家走。“上帝没能给我一个孩子，可至少没有剥夺音乐给我的慰藉，”他们边走校长边悲戚戚地说。他喋喋不休地说着音乐的事：如何完全因打发无聊起步；如何被音乐老师取笑，又被给予希望；他人生的雄心壮志又是如何在音乐的世界里达到忘我的境界。 一到家，校长就大献殷勤。他请塞克哈尔坐在红丝毯上，敬上几样碟中美味，在旁边忙来忙去像是招待上门女婿。他甚至说：“你务必完全放松去听。别为那些试卷烦心。”然后不无幽默的加了一句：“我会给你一周的时间。” “十天怎么样，校长？”塞克哈尔请求。 “好，同意，”校长慷慨地说。塞克哈尔彻底松了口气——他可以一天干掉十份，彻底除掉这件烦心事。 校长点上熏香。“营造点气氛。”他解释说。鼓手和小提琴手已经到位，坐在缅甸仰光进口的小毯子上等他。校长在两人中间坐下来，像音乐会专业演出一般，清清喉咙，起了调子又停下来问：“可以吗，卡亚尼？（塞克哈尔的姓）”塞克哈尔假装没听到校长叫他。校长继

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。
Unit 1 恰到好处 Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective （模糊的形容词）, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose. 你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。语言也是如此。一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。差不多的词，不准确的短语，摸棱两可的表达，含糊不清的修饰，都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。他会一直思考，直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。 The French have an apt（贴切的） phrase for this. They speak of “le mot juste,” (the exact word) the word that is just right. Stories are told of scrupulous（一丝不苟的） writers, like Flaubert, who spent days trying to get one or two sentences exactly right. Words are many and various; they are subtle（微妙的） and delicate（细腻的） in their different shades（色调）of meaning, and it is not easy to find the ones that express precisely（正是，恰恰） what we want to say. It is not only a matter of having a good command of language and a fairly wide vocabulary; it is also necessary to think hard and to observe accurately. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words. Someone once remarked: “How can I know what I think till I see what I say?” this sounds stupid, but there is a great deal of truth in it. 法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思，即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事，比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。在浩瀚的词海中，词与词之间有着微妙的区别，要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题，还需要人们绞尽脑汁，要观察敏锐。选词是认识过程的一个步骤，也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。有人说：“在我思想未成文之前，我怎么知道自己的想法？”这听起来似乎很离谱，但它确实很有道理。 It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by the satisfaction that finding them brings. The exact use of language gives us mastery（掌握） over the material we are dealing with. Perhaps you have been asked “What sort of a man is so-and-so（某某等）?” You begin: “Oh, I think he’s quite a nice chap （家伙）but he’s rather…” and then you hesitate trying to find a word or phrase to express what it is about him that

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。
