My father was a middle-class black. Though he was born poor, he achieved middle-class standing through much hard work and sacrifice (one of his favorite words) and by identifying fully with solid middle-class values—mainly hard work, family life, property ownership, and education for his children (all four of whom have advanced degrees). In his mind these were not so much values as laws of nature. People who embodied them made up the positive images in his class identification. The negative images came largely from the blacks he had left behind because they were “going nowhere.”我的爸爸是一个中产阶级的黑人,尽管他出身贫困,但是通过努力工作和牺牲(一句她经常喜爱的话),他获得了中产阶级的地位。
并且评价中产阶级的价值的标准主要是看——个人的努力工作,家庭生活,财产的拥有权,对孩子的教育(他的四个孩子都获取了高等学位)。
在他的心理,在他的心理使他积极的印象是他的阶级身份,而消极的印象是他的黑色的皮肤,因为这种黑色无处藏身。
无论我能否做到这些价值,我知道我接受他们是终生调节的结果。
我也知道我可以分享这些条件和所有的种族的中产阶级,但是分享给我所在的种族却感到并不是那么的轻松。
第十章英译汉练习(一)一、1988~1996年硕士研究生入学考试英译汉试题1. 1988年试题Seated behind the front desk at a New York firm, the receptionist was efficient, stylishly dressed, the firm's newest employee had a pleasant telephone voice and a natural charm that put clients at ease. The company was pleased: Clearly, this was a person who took considerable pride in personal appearance. David King, the receptionist, is unusual, but by no means unique. (1) Just as all truck drivers and construction workers are no longer necessarily men, all secretaries and receptionists are no longer automatically women. The number of men inwomen-dominated fields is still small and they haven't attracted the attention that has often followed women advancing into male-dominated fields, but men are moving into more and more jobs that have traditionally been held by women.Strictly speaking, the phenomenon is not new. For the past few decades, men have been quietly entering fields such as nursing, social works and elementary education. But today no jobs seems off-limits. Men serve coffee in offices and meals on airplanes. (2) These changes are helping to influence some of the long standing traditions about the types of work men and women can do --but they also produce some undeniable problems for the men who are entering those fields formerly dominated by women .What kinds of men venture into these so-called women's fields? All kinds. I don't know of any define answers I'd be comfortable with,“ explains Joseph Pleck, Ph.D . of the Wellesley College Center for Research on women .Samo Ormont , for example ,a thirty-year-old nurse at Boston hospital ,went into nursing because the army had trained him as a medical worker. (3) ”I found that work very interesting“ he recalled , ”and when I got out of the serv ice it just seemed natural for me to go into something medical . I wasn't really interested in becoming a doctor .“Thirty-five-year-old David king , an out-of-work actor ,found a job as a receptionist because he was having trouble landing roles in Broadway plays and he needed to pay the rent.(4) In other words, men enter ”female“ jobs out of the same consider action for personal interest and economic necessity that motivates anyone looking for work . But similarities often end there . Men in female-dominated jobs are conspicuous. As a group, their work histories differ in most respects from those of their female colleagues, and they are frequently treated differently by the people with whom they are in professional contact .The question naturally arises ;Why are there still approximately ninety-nine female secretaries for every one male ? There is also a more and more serious issue. Most men don't want to be receptionists, nurses, secretaries, or sewing workers. Put simply, these are not generally considered very masculine jobs . To choose such a line of work is to invite ridicule.There was kidding in the beginning ,” recalls Ormont. “Kids coming from school ask what I am , and when I say 'A nurse' , they laugh at me. I just smile and say, 'You know , ther e female doctors , too .'”Still , there are encouraging signs. Years ago, male grade school teachers were as rare as male nurses. Today more than one elementary school teacher in six is male.(5) Can we anticipate a day when secretaries will be an even mix of men and women--or when the mention of a male nurse will no longer raise eyebrows ? It's probably coming--but not very soon .(1)正像卡车司机和建筑工人再没有必要都是男的一样,秘书和接待员再也不一定都是女的。

这样,不仅对那些行动快速的人们,也对那些思维敏捷,并有勇气按自己的想法行事的人们都提出了要求。
这需要全公司各部门的运作,而不仅仅是管理部门的工作。

Your attitude towards the advice of the psychiatrist will affect whether or not your bad dream recurs.4. The secret to the success of optimists is that they deal with disappointments and failures in a positive way.5. The reason that a pessimist tends to fail is, in part, that a person's opinion about himself is oftena self-fulfilling prophecy.6. In very young children, before traits have had much chance to develop, behavior is less consistent than it is in most adults. A child's changing behavior may show his changing concern with different features of his activity. His interest always focuses on the business at hand. The person with strong traits and interests is able to persist in what he is doing. Only a major situational change can disturb the direction or purpose of his behavior.Unit 21. The politician was armed with many facts and figures.2. It struck me that we had really learnt a great deal there.3.

Like it or not, our advancing technology has made us masters of the earth.Unit 41. These young technicians have all the qualifications we can hope for.2. I was more frightened than hurt.3. They wondered what had become of the girl.4. Farmers in that area like to intersperse peach trees among willows.5. I have a vehement hatred of people who are cruel to animals.6. Even while enjoying the results of technical progress, man must defend the primacy and autonomy of pure knowledge. In addition, pure knowledge is the foundation for practical results that would not have been reached if this knowledge had not been sought disinterestedly. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity, would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely conceive of contemporary life.Unit 51. A copy of the author’s article was presented to the editorial staffs.2. Just because he is at the bottom of the class, it does not follow that he has no brains; he may just be very lazy.3. These unusual phenomena are worth noticing.4. The partners have been at odds with each other over hiring a new manager.5. This led us to the conclusion that ignorance fostered superstition.6. It may come as a surprise to learn that it isn’t age that makes you “lose your memory”. The reason could be that you have a “lazy”memory, not an old one. Like your body, your memory improves with exercise. Scientists believe that our brains will work at least 75% more effectively if both sides are exercised.Unit 61. The reality we are confronted with is that we enjoy not so much life’s rewards as life’s process.2. It slowly dawned on me that the love, the joy as well as the sufferings were so precious, for they marked the existence of life.3.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite (or God), so long are you young.Unit 81. Look to it that you don’t violate the regulations.2. I don’t know how to get my ideas across.3. He would not like to be at the mercy of others, and he was determined to take his own road.4.

William Foster was born in 1881 in a small town in Massachusetts. At seven he was selling newspapers to help support his family. Three years later, he had to leave school. He worked in many different trades: lumber, agriculture, building, transport, etc. In 1921, he became one of the first members of the Communist Party of the United States. He not only took an active part in the struggle of the American working class for peace, democracy and socialism, but also devoted much of his time to the study of American politics, economy and history.

Although the company made the expedition ostensibly for discovering new lands, they are really interested in finding new markets for their products.5. The mother warned her son that he should tell her the truth without any embroidery.6. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the leastgifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrates on anything. But television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification. It diverts us only to divert, to make time pass without pain.Unit 101. He is so self-satisfied that he dismissed other people’s advice.2.

Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies(一分为二). 而且,社会的变革如果社会逐步地,那就更容易些。例如,有可能在人们的关系上发生持续的变化,而不是突然地发生一分为二的变化。 5.This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts. 这就是为什么同其他少数民族相比,变革没有更快地发生在美国黑人的身上的一个原因。因为黑人与白人的不同太明显了。 第二组 1.There is an advertisement in newspaper which urges you to change our life habits, with the suggestion that if you do so, by adopting (采用)seven easy-to-follow items of life style, you can achieve eleven added years beyond what you will get if you don’t. 报纸上有一则广告极力劝 说你改变生活习惯,还说如果你采 取七种简便易行的生活方式,寿命 会增加十一年。 2.

研究生英语长句子翻译Unit 2 Food FightAround the world people are taking a closer look at the genetic make-up of what they're eating - and growing uneasy with what they see. Over the past decade, genetically modified (GM) food has become an increasingly common phenomenon as scientists have rewoven the genes of countless fruits and vegetables, turning everyday crops into uber-crops (able to resist frost, withstand herbicides and even produce their own pesticides.) In all, more than 4 500 GM plants have been tested, and at least 40 - including 13 varieties of corn, 11 varieties of tomatoes and four varieties of soybeans - have cleared government reviews.1.全世界的人民都在密切地注视他们食品中的基因构成—并越发地为他们所看到的一切感到不安。
在过去的十年里,随着科学家们将无数的水果和蔬菜的基因重组,使平常的农作物变成了能抵抗霜冻、经得起除草剂甚至能生产自己的杀虫剂的超级作物,基因改良食品已日益成为普遍现象。
就总数而言,超过4,500种的基因改良植物已经过测试,其中至少有40种——包括13种玉米,11种西红柿和4种大豆——已经通过了政府的审核。

Unit Si1 On any person who desires such queer prices. New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gut of privacy. It is this largess that accounts for the presence within the city's walls of a considerable section of the population; for me residents of Manhattan are to a large extent strangers who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town seeking sanctuary or fulfillment or some greater or lesser grail. The capacity to make such dubious gifts is a mysterious quality of New York. It can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on luck. No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky.1纽约将孤寂与独处当作赠礼,赐予所有向往这份奇特礼物的人们。
纽约城内数量庞大的居民中,冲着这份赠礼而来此落脚的绝不在少数;曼哈顿也因此聚集了众多异乡客,他们背井离乡到此闯荡,有的为了寻求庇护,有的为了一展抱负,还有的为了实现心中或大或小的愿望。
纽约之所以神秘,便在于它总能赐予这般扑朔迷离的馈赠,能使人万劫不复,也能让人飞黄腾达,皆为运气使然。

1 英译汉练习精选 1. The most common characteristic of outstanding success is “an extensive knowledge of the exact meaning of English words.” The extent of your vocabulary indicates the degree of your intelligence. Your brain power will increase as you learn to know more words. The study of words is not merely something that has to do with literature. Words are your tools of thought. You can‟t even think at all without words. Without words you could make no decisions and form no judgments whatsoever. And the more words you have at your command the deeper, clearer and more accurate will be your thinking. A command of vocabulary will give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend color to your personality; increase your popularity. Your words are your personality. Your vocabulary is you. (Wilfred Funk)
2. Words are explosive. Phrases are packed with TNT. A simple word can destroy a friendship, land a large order. The proper phrases in the mouths of clerks have quadrupled the sales of a department store. The wrong words used by a campaign orator have lost an election. Words have changed the direction of history. Words can also change the direction of your life. They have often raised a man from mediocrity to success. If you consciously increase your vocabulary you will unconsciously raise yourself to a more important station in life, and the new and higher position you have won will, in turn, give you a better opportunity for further enriching your vocabulary. It is a beautiful and successful cycle. (Wilfred Funk)
3. Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. There are no short-cuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.
4. A successful argument gives evidence of some sort for every important point. Evidence may include statistics, observations or testimony of experts, personal narratives, or other supporting proof. A 2
writer needs to convince readers by taking them from some initial position on an issue to the writer‟s position, which readers will share if the argument succeeds. The only way to do this is to provide evidence that convinces readers that the position is a right or true one. (from Perspectives on Contemporary Issues, 2003)
5. Examples and illustrations are crucial to writing, no matter what the primary purpose. Without examples, writing stays at the general or abstract level and leaves readers only vaguely understanding what a writer means. Examples make meaning clear and help make writing more interesting, livelier, and more engaging than in an essay without details. Examples may be brief and numerous or extended and limited in number, and they may take the form of narratives. It would be difficult to find an effective piece of writing that does not use examples of some sort. (Ibid.)
6. Most composition instructors would probably agree that students use too few examples in their writing. Perhaps because of a lack of background in a subject, a student may rely on broad, general statements that are neither interesting nor convincing. If a student were always able to draw from his personal experience in writing, the tendency to generalize might be more easily overcome. But this is not always possible. When working with an unfamiliar subject, though, a resourceful student will explore the library to find background material and supporting examples for his paper. Using examples in a composition can be compared to presenting evidence in a courtroom. Evidence serves to make a legal case more specific; it helps to convince the jurors. Examples make a composition more specific; they add substance to the writer‟s controlling idea. For example, if you are writing an expository paper about progress in the railroad industry, your examples might include the luxurious Italian train, the Settebello, connecting Milan and Rome; the 125-mile-per-hour Japanese train running on the Hokkaido Line from Tokyo to Osaka; and the extensive Trans-European Express trains which span the Continent. Examples such as these would lend force to your writing. (from American English Rhetoric by Robert G. Bander, 1978)
