1 She was called Katya, a dewy-eyed, sweet girl from Voronezh, who accepted Yakov on his own
reckoning. (Para 1)
As dew falls in the early morning and symbolizes innocence and newness, the word dewy-eyed means
innocent and lacking in experience about life.
Reckoning means one’s own view and account.
The sentence means that an innocent-looking girl from a less sophisticated city than Moscow was willing
to believe Yakov’s own high opinion of himself.
2
and gratitude. (Para 2)
To bask means to relax in the sun. Here it
Soviet women feel on this
day.
3 Their husbands, with much cursing and clattering of pans, cook breakfast for the family … (Para 2)
The expression with much cursing and clattering of pans means with a lot of swearing and banging
about – as they were not used to doing it, they made many mistakes.
4 A Soviet woman’s days are usually taken up with … nipping out of work at lunchtime to buy
something for dinner … (Para 3)
To nip out means to go out for a very short time probably unofficially. It is a slang and is similar to the
expressions pop out and sneak out.
5 Their husbands … by drinking themselves into a stupor with toasts “to our beloved ladies …”
(Para 4)
Stupor is a state in which you cannot think, speak, see, or hear clearly, usually because you have drunk
too much alcohol. Sadly, Russia does have a serious alcoholism problem and early death from overconsumption
of vodka is far too common.
6 “I certainly will,” said Yakov, squeezing in between Liza Minelli and Katya and draping an arm
around each of them. (Para 10)
Yakov fit in between Liza Minelli and Katya although they were sitting close together, and put an arm
around each girl.
7 Yuri and Emily arrived and we covered blinis with thick sour cream and red caviar and drank
champagne, as families did all over Voronezh. (Para 13)
Sour cream is fermented cream, which is smoother and thicker. Eastern European food is noted for its sour
flavours.
Caviar usually refers to the roe or eggs of the sturgeon, a large fish, and is a very expensive special food.
It can also refer to other commoner fish roes.

fury, insist that their mother makes them their proper breakfast. (pans 在
原文中其实泛指厨房里的

在国际妇女节那一天, 苏联的妇女们沐浴在男性所给予的爱意和感激之中。因为这一天是假日，早
上她们不用去上班，可以懒洋洋地躺在床上。而她们的丈夫们则要为全家人做早饭，虽然嘴里骂骂
咧咧的，还弄得锅碗瓢盆叮当乱响；到了十点，丈夫颇为自豪地把煎得焦糊糊、皱巴巴的鸡蛋端到
妻子跟前。盘子边上还放着一束鲜花，一份小礼物，可能是一瓶香水或者一双裤袜，妻子会高兴得

2 For good or bad, the world has possibly undergone more changes in the past two decades than it did
in the past two centuries. We have used more resources, burnt more fuel, caused
more pollution and
killed off more animals and plants as we have come closer to each other to form a truly global village.
Television, we thought, was the last uniting factor till we got a feel for the Internet.
All these changes have made us take a different look at the world beyond and our home within. Nothing
comes without a rider in this global market. If we want to be part of the dazzle and comfort that the
West is known for, we had better accept some of its anomalies, too. This is not to say that festivals mean
something else to the West.
不管是好是坏, 世界在过去二十多年间所经历的变化可能比过去两百年间所经历的还要多。为了让
彼此间联系得更紧密，营造出一个真正的地球村，我们消耗了更多的资源，烧掉了更多的能源，造
成了更多的污染，灭杀了更多的动植物。过去，我们一直把电视看作是连接全世界的终极手段，直
到我们了解了互联网，才发现事实并非如此。
所有这些变化都让我们用另外一种眼光来看待外面的世界以及我们自己的家园。在这个全球市场中，
得到任何东西都是要付出代价的。如果我们想拥有西方世界那著名的眩目而舒适的生活，我们也必
须接受西方文化中的一些异常事物。当然，这并不是说节日对于西方人来说有着不同的意义。

《全新版大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译及答案》Unit 1 Growing Up 为自己而写 ——拉塞尔·贝克 从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。 我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有一个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作一团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。 突然我就想描述那一切，描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛，但我把它写下来仅仅是想自得其乐，而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。然而，照我希望的那样去写，就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则，弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它一个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好了之后，我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。 等我写完时已是半夜时分，再没时间为弗利格尔先生写一篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。第二天上午，我别无选择，只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文，他把别人的都发了，就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命一放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训，却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文，敲了敲桌子让大家注意听。 "好了，孩子们，"他说。"我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是： 吃意大利细面条的艺术。"

First, get off the sofa Background information About the passage: This is an article by an Education Correspondent, Alexandra Blair, published in September 2008 in The Times, a long-established British quality newspaper. In Europe generally, and in Britain in particular, for a number of years there has been a r i s i ng nu mber of stude nts who go to uni vers ity and therefore more new graduates seeking employment. However, for many graduates finding a job became harder in 2008 - 2009 because the economic downturn - then a rcccssion - meant that many employers werereducing their workforce. After their final exams, some students rested in the summer before looking for jobs and then they found that it was difficult to find employment in their field or at the level they wanted. The
