实用英文写作与翻译2-1作业及参考答案 第一次作业： Americans Eat Out More often and Less Healthfully Although food cooked at home is far more healthful than meals eaten at restaurants, Americans are dining out more than ever, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Tuesday. Restaurant food accounted for（[在数量，比例方面] 占） 39 percent of U.S. meals bought in 1996, up from 26 percent in 1970, the department said in a report, ``Away-From-Home Foods Increasingly Important to Quality of American Diet.'' ``While（尽管）the nutritional quality（营养质量）of foods consumed by Americans has improved overall, foods prepared at home are generally much more healthful than away-from-home foods,'' the department said. ``Despite nutritional gains at home, Americans will find it difficult to improve their diets because they purchase so many meals outside the home,'' the study said. While （尽管）the nutritional content of food prepared both at home and in restaurants has improved in recent years, food eaten out contains more of the nutrients Americans typically（一般地；通常）eat too much of, including fat and saturated fat（饱和脂肪）, and less of what is lacking from most diets, such as calcium, fiber and iron. The department recommended nutrition education programs should place more emphasis on teaching U.S. consumers about how to order healthful meals when dining out. Improved diets have been found to prevent risk of heart disease, stroke（中风）, cancer, diabetes（糖尿病）, osteoporosis-related hip fractures（与骨质疏松症有关的髋关节骨折） and neural tube birth defects（神经管先天缺损）. Osteoporosis-related hip fractures cost up to $10.6 billion each year in the United States in medical care expenses, missed work and premature deaths（早亡）, the department said. 参考译文：美国人外出用餐频繁而饮食健康水准美况愈下 据美国农业部星期二称尽管在家煮烧的食物远比餐馆里所用之餐有益于健康，美国人外出用餐更频繁。餐馆里的食物占1996年美国人购餐的39%，比1970年增长了26%。该部门在报告中称：“外出所用之餐对于美国人饮食质量日益重要”。该部门还称：“虽然美国人消费的食物的营养质量总体改善了。但是，一般来说，家里所备的食物远比外出用餐的食物有益于健康。”研究表明：“尽管在家里用餐能获取养份，美国人发觉他们难以改善自己的饮食，因为他们多次在外购餐。”近年来在家里和餐馆里所备的食物的营养结构都得到了改善，然而，外出用餐的食物包含了较多典型的美国人汲取过多的养份，包括脂肪和饱和脂肪，也包含了较少多数饮食中所缺少的，如钙，纤维和铁。该农业部提议营养教育计划应更着重于教导美国消费者外出用餐时如何预定有益于健康的一餐。人们发现改善后的饮食结构能预防心脏病，中风，癌症，糖尿病，与骨盆炎相关的髋部骨折以及试管婴儿的神经缺陷所带来的危险。该部门称，在美国与骨盆炎相关的髋部骨折每年在医疗照料费用，医疗失误和早产死亡之上的耗费高达106亿美元。 第二次作业 1、Kill one’s appetite ?Kill time ?Kill the peace ?Kill the mood ?Kill the proposal ?Kill the engine ?Kill the child with kindness 2、If the doctor had been available, the child would not have died. 3、This ticket is available in all parks. 4、I’ll have Mr. Perkin call you back as soon as he is available.

Note that you must not copy complete sentences from the original .Failure to do so would incur deduction of your scores. Passage Everyone who has received his certificate of matriculation after passing his final examination at school complains of the persistence with which he is plagued by anxiety-dreams in which he has failed, or
must go through his course again, etc. For the holder of a university degree this typical dream is replaced by another, which represents that he has not taken his doctor's degree, to which he vainly objects, while still asleep, that he has already been practising for years, or is already a university lecturer or the senior partner of a firm of lawyers, and so on. These are the ineradicable memories of the punishments we suffered as children for misdeeds which we had committed- memories which were revived in us on the dies irae, dies illa①of the grueling examination at the two critical junctures in our careers as students. The examination-anxiety of neurotics is likewise intensified by this childish fear. When our student days are over, it is no longer our parents or teachers who see to our punishment; the inexorable chain of cause and effect of later life has taken over our further education. Now we dream of our matriculation, or the examination for the doctor's degree- and who has not been faint-hearted on such occasions? Whenever we fear that we may be punished by some unpleasant result because we have done something carelessly or wrongly, because we have not been as thorough as we might have
广东外语外贸大学2004年硕士研究生入学考试英语语言文学及 外国语言学与应用语言学英语写作与翻译试题 Part One Writing (100) Task 1: Summary Writing (40%) Directions: Read carefully the following passage and summarize its contents in 150－200 words. Note that you must not copy complete sentences directly from the original. Failure to do so would incur deduction of your scores. Passage Plato - who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to "real" people and everyday events - knew what intellectual experiences make for tree humanity. He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings. Even Aristotle, master of pure reason, said, "The friend of wisdom is also a friend of myth." Modem thinkers who have studied myths and fairy tales from a philosophical or psychological viewpoint arrive at the same conclusion, regardless of their original persuasion. Mircea Eliade, for one, describes these stories as "models ~for human behavior [that],,:by that very fact, give .meaning and value to life." Drawing on anthropological parallels, he and others suggest that myths and fairy tales were derived from, or give symbolic expression to, initiation rites or rites of passage - such as metaphoric death of an old, inadequate self in order to be reborn on a higher plane of existence. He feels that this is why these tales meet a strongly felt need and are carders of such deep meaning. Other investigators with a depth-psychological orientation emphasize the similarities between the fantastic events in myths and fairy tales and those in adult dreams and daydreams - the fulfillment of wishes, the winning out over all competitors, the destruction of enemies - and conclude that one attraction of this literature is its expression of that which is normally prevented from coming to awareness. There are, of course, very significant differences between fairy tales and dreams. For example, in dreams more often than not the wish fulfillment is disguised, while in fairy tales much of it is openly expressed. To a considerable degree, dreams are the result of inner pressures which have found no relief, of problems which beset a person to which he knows no solution and to which the dream finds none. The fairy tale does the opposite: it projects the relief of all pressures and not only offers ways to solve problems but promises that a "happy" solution will be found. We cannot control what goes on in our dreams. Although our inner censorship influences what we may dream, such control occurs on an unconscious level. The fairy tale, on the other hand, is very much the result of common conscious and unconscious content having been shaped by the conscious mind, not of one particular person, but the consensus of many in regard to what they view as universal human problems, and what they accept as desirable solutions. If all these elements were not present in a fairy tale, it would not be retold by generation after generation. Only if a fairy tale met the conscious and unconscious requirements of many people was it repeatedly retold, listened to with great interest. No dream of a person could arouse such persistent interest unless it was worked into a myth, as was the story of the pharaoh's dream as interpreted by Joseph in the Bible.
大学英语B阅读翻译及写作 TEST 1 阅读1： 有这些关于两位美国总统杰克逊和范布伦试图解释英语词组OK的故事。我们不知这些故事的真实性，但他们都是很有趣。第一种解释是根据杰克逊总统读书少的事实。事实上，他读写有困难。当他接到重要的文件，他努力地去读，然后让助手解释内容，如果他赞成，他就会在公文上写上Oll Korrect二字，问题就在于他不知道如何拼写，所以他真正写的是“ol korekt”.过了一段时间，他简称为“OK”. 第二种解释是根据范布伦总统的出生地纽约是事实。范布伦的朋友组织了一个俱乐部帮助他竞选。他们把它称之为Old Kinderhook 俱乐部，支持范布伦的人被称为“OK”。 阅读2. 尽管美国有很多陆地，生产事物所占用的地甚至不到现在人口所居住的地方多很多，现在大多数的人都生活在一个大都市里，从事农业和林业的人不到十分之一，多多少少总有一部分人仍然生活在城镇附近，那儿原有的景象正在不断地改变：每个小城镇都很相识，那有代表性的城镇相当于那富有大自然美好景色的农村，但是大部分美国人不在住在那里了，现在有一半人口住在30个大城市里，这好比一百万人居住在每一个比德国、英国大的免职里，更不用说法国了。据统计，城市和乡村的人口应该被处改并且告诫，那是因为有人把区域分类作为农村，在城镇范围内开车旅行，并且逐渐盖满房子，以致于很难说出农村一下子变成郊区城镇，但是越来越多典型的美国人居住在大城市里好比居住在小的城镇环境里。 阅读3 如果我们被准确地问及我们一年前所做的事情，我们就会不得不说我们不能记起。但是我们将每一天所做的事写在一本簿子上并保存在内，我们应该能够回答那些问题。那历史也一样。很多事已被忘记，是因为我们没有将它们记录在案。有时人类会记录那些在他们回家发生的最重要的事，但是经常会被大火或战争而销毁掉。有时会因为那个时候或那个地方的人民不知道怎么写字，就根本没有任何文字记录。例如，我们知道很多关于4，000年前住在中国大地上的人们，就是因为他们会写字，并且能够把文字记载流传到他们的后代。但是我们几乎不知道一些有关于在非洲中部200多年前住在那里的人们的事，因为他们没有学写字。当然，有时候即使人们不会写字，他们仍然会知道一些过去的事。他们可从老人们口里所说到，还有一些关于重要事件的歌曲、舞蹈和已被编造出来的故事，并且这些通过被唱和演出就能告诉人们很多梗概。就如大部分人都会很自豪地告诉别人，在过去他们父亲那代所做过的一些事情。对于这，我们会叫它作“记忆性的历史”。它们有些现在已被记载。那作为历史记载的话是不准确和没有高价值的，是因为当在讲话反复使用时，词句会比抄写下来容易改变得多了。但是对于要进行文字记载的地方，这样的口述故事是非常有帮助的。 完型填空： 你会发现大学的课程是不同与高中学校的课程，你将会有更多的工作和责任却没有太多的被动，另一方面，你也有更多的自由??有自由去选择学什么，什么时候学，或者为什么而学，你将需要练习最大量的自我训练。这是最辛苦的一种训练，因为这是资源的，和你只能是你自己一个去行动（面对），你决定的学习习惯将会是你将来成功的决定因素，或是缺陷。另外，你会发现你的导师跟你早先遇到过的那些人有些相识，他们会希望你更加投入到你的学习习惯和时间安排上。记住，许多你学到的是发生在课室以外的。你的导师会给你附加的帮助在课堂以外。如果这时候证明你的课正在生效、实行。在你能力和技术都能控制掌握的条件下，你需要有效果地安排你的时间，以便使你在大学里取得成功。一个与有效利用时间的有关的表会使你能够使工作和游玩都包含在内，当你获得一份工作，不久你会发现不足仅是做你想的，更是你所希望的。 作文： 你同学建华在国外学习，你们经常用英文通信。他即将完成学业，不久前来信说将回国工作。请根据下列提示回信：注意：1词数100左右； 2 行文英连贯，内容应完整； 3 开头语与落款已为你写好。 June 8th Dear Jianhua, I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago.

大学英语（A）2汉译英练习参考答案 1、中国社会主义市场经济体制的发展，要求改革社会福利保障体制，从而对社会服务提出了更高的要求。随着政府职能的转变，曾经由政府包揽的许多社会服务工作，将逐步转移到社会团体和民间组织。一方面，政府的宏观管理责任将变得更加重大。另一方面，社会团体和民间组织需要参与更多社区服务。这就提出了一个课题：政府和社会团体如何分工协作，推进社区服务事业。 The development of China’s socialist market economy requires the reform of our social welfare and security system, which in turn holds higher expectations for the work of community service. With the transformation of government functions, the work involving social services that was initially undertaken by the government will have to be transferred gradually to social groups and non-governmental organizations. On the one hand, the government will shoulder greater responsibilities in its macro-management; On the other hand, social groups and non-governmental organizations will need to involve themselves more in community service. Consequently, there emerged a new issue concerning how the government and social groups should collaborate to promote the development of community service. 2、丝绸之路不仅是东西商业贸易之路，而且是中国和亚欧各国间政治往来文化交流的通道。西方的音乐、绘画、建筑、宗教等通过此路先后传到中国，并对中国产生了很大影响。中国的纺织和四大发明也通过此路传向西方。丝绸之路是东西方交往的友好象征。丝绸之路打造了世界贸易的雏形（embryonic form），为世界发展做出了不朽的贡献。 The Silk Road is not only a network of trade route connecting the East and West but also a channel of political interaction and cultural exchange between China and other Asian and European countries. The Western music, painting, architecture, and religion were introduced into China via the Silk Road and had great impact on China. The Chinese textiles and the Four Great Inventions were also introduced to the West via the Silk Road. As a symbol of friendship for interaction between the East and West, the Silk Road fostered an embryonic form of world trade and made monumental contributions to the development of the world. 3、唐代，是中国古典诗歌的鼎盛时期，在不到300年的时间里，涌现出了许多著名的诗人和诗作。清朝时编辑的《全唐诗》(Poems of the Tang Dynasty)已收录2200多位诗人创作的48900多首诗歌。这些诗歌让人们深入了解到当时社会生活的各个方面。中国人很喜欢唐诗，就连小孩子也能背出几首。唐诗不仅是中国古代文学史上最光辉的一页，而且也是人类文化史中的一个奇迹。 The Tang Dynasty witnessed the peak of Chinese ancient poetry, with many renowned poets and famous works appearing over a period of less than 300 years.
Key to Exercises: Unit 1 Exercise I: 1.General education means the whole development of an individual, apart from his occupational training. 普通教育除了专业训练的内容外，还指对人的全方位的培养过程。 2.The University, in the strict sense, is to mean that institution which teaches the ordinary student to be a cultured person and a good member of a profession. 从严格意义上来说，大学是为了把普通学生教育成为有文化修养、具备优秀专业技能的人。 3.

The student role fuses research and learning; research activity is transformed into a mode of study. 以科研作为主要的教学手段，教授的作用在于把科研和教学结合起来——科研活动转变成为一种学习的模式。 5.It is a basic human right to be able to have access to and an understanding of information, and there is now more information available than ever before in the world’s history. 获取信息和理解信息是最基本的人权，而我们现在拥有人类历史上前所未有的信息量。 https://www.doczj.com/doc/ca8053071.html,rmation is very important to the development of the individual and o f society, and information technology gives considerable power to those able to access and use it. 信息对个人和社会的发展都非常重要，信息技术将使那些能够获取并利用它的人拥有相当大的力量。 7.读书不一定能使人善于思考，但是与善于思考的人交往，就能使人好学善思。 Men are not always made thoughtful by books; but they are generally made thoughtful by association with men who thinks. 8.目前，大多数国家的基础教育主要是由政府拨款的。 Basic education is currently funded primarily by the state in most countries.
