八年级上册参考译文 Unit 1 Where did you go on vacation ? Sectoin B 2b 7月15日，星期一 1. 今天早上我和家人抵达马来西亚槟城。 2.天气晴朗炎热，于是我们决定去宾馆附的海滩。 3.我和姐姐尝试了滑翔伞运动，我感觉自己就像一只鸟。这太令人兴奋了！ 4.午饭我们吃了非常特殊的东西——马来黄面，可真是好吃呀！ 5.下午，我们骑自行车去了乔治市。 6.如今那里有许多新的建筑，但是许多老房子依然还在。 7.在乔治市的一处古老的地方——海墘街，我们看到了一百年前中国商人们的房子。 8.我在想这里过去的生活是什么样子呢。漫步在乔治市真是很享受。 7月16日，星期二 9.一天的差异是多么大呀！10.我和爸爸决定今天登槟城山。11.我们本想徒步到山顶，但是天下起了小雨，于是我们决定乘坐火车。 12.因为人太多，我们等了一个多小时的火车。13.当我们到达山顶的时候，雨下得很大。14.我们没有带雨伞，结果我们（被淋得又湿又冷，真实糟透了！15.并且因为糟糕的天气，底下的东西我们什么都看不到。16.爸爸没有带足够的钱，所以我们只吃了一碗米饭和鱼。因为我太饿了，饭的味道尝起来还真是不错Unit 2 How often do you exercise? 第五中学的学生们在课余时间做什么？ 17.上个月，我们询问了我们的学生一些有关课余活动的问题。 18.我们的问题是有关锻炼、使用网络，以及看电视。以下是所获得的结果。 19.我们发现我们的学生中只有百分之十五每天锻炼。百分之四十五的学生一周锻炼四至六次。百分之二十的学生一周只锻炼一至 三。还有百分之二十的学生根本就不锻炼！ 20.我们都知道许多学生经常上网，但是让我们惊讶的是，有百分之九十的人每天使用网络，另外百分之十的学生每周至少使用网络三至四次。绝大多数学生上网娱乐，并非为了做功课。 21.对我们提出的有关看电视的问题的回答也颇有意思。只有百分之二的学生一周看一直三次电视，百分之十三的人一星期看四至六次电视。另外百分之八十五的人每天都看电视！虽然许多学生喜欢观看体育节目，但游戏类节目却是最受欢迎的。 22.通过使用网络或观看游戏类节目来放松是件好事，但我们认为最佳的放松方式是通过锻炼。它有益于身心的健康。23.诸如参加体育运动这样的锻炼方式不但有趣，而且当你和朋友、家人一起运动时，你们还可以共度时光。24.请记住：”旧习难改。”所以赶快锻炼起来，不要等到来不及了。 Unit 3 I’m more outgoing than my sister. 25.杰夫.格林：我妈妈告诉我好朋友就像一面镜子。26.我比大多数孩子要安静持重，这便是我喜欢看书而且在班上学习更加努力的原 因。27.我的好朋友袁力也不太说话，所以我们喜欢一块学习。28.我比较腼腆，所以我不那么容易交上朋友，但我想朋友就像书籍一样—他们不在多而贵在好。

But do you want to come? J: Sure! What Do No.5 High School Students Do in Their Free Time? Last month we asked our students about their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise, use of the Internet and watching TV. Here are the results. We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day. Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week. Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week. And twenty percent do not exercise at all. We all know that many students often go online, but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.
