unit 1 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeIn America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land.

Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。

但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。

Unit3-1How we listen 我们是怎样听音乐的mental effort, for we do itinstinctively .11????Perhaps an analogy with whathappens to us when we visit the theater willmake this instinctive correlation clearer. Inthe theater, you are aware of the actors andactresses, costumes and sets, sounds andmovements. All these give one the sensethat the theater is a pleasant place to be in.They constitute the sensuous plane in ourtheatrical reactions.12????The expressive plane in the theaterwould be derived from the feeling that youget from what is happening on the stage.You are moved to pity, excitement, orgaiety . It is this general feeling, generatedaside from the particular words beingspoken, a certain emotional somethingwhich exists on the stage, that is analogousto the expressive quality in music.13????The plot and plot development isequivalent to our sheerly musical plane. Theplaywright creates and develops a characterin just the same way that a composercreates and develops a theme. According tothe degree of your awareness of the way inwhich the artist in either field handles hismaterial will you become a more intelligentlistener.14????It is easy enough to see that thetheatergoer never is conscious of any ofthese elements separately . He is aware ofthem all at the same time. The same is trueof music listening. We simultaneously andwithout thinking listen on all three planes.感受到的，主要是存在于舞台上的某种情感的东西，与音乐的表现性相类似。
Was Einstein a Space Alien?1Albert Einstein was exhausted.阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦精疲力竭。
他幼小的儿子汉斯连续三个晚上哭闹不停，弄得全家人直到天亮都无法入睡。
阿尔伯特总算可以打个瞌睡时，已是他起床上班的时候了。
他不能一天不上班，他需要这份工作来养活组建不久的家庭。
2 Walking briskly to the Patent Office,阿尔伯特是专利局三等技术专家。
在快步去专利局上班的路上，他为母亲忧心忡忡。
母亲年纪越来越大，身体虚弱。

阿尔伯特瞥了一下路过的商店的橱窗，看见自己头发凌乱，他又忘了梳头了。
3Work. Family. 工作，家庭，维持生计——阿尔伯特感受到了一位年轻丈夫和年轻父亲所要承担的全部压力和责任。
To relax, he revolutionized physics.他想放松下，却使物理学发生了突破性进展4 In 1905, 1905年，在他被聘为物理学教授的前四年，26岁的爱因斯坦发表了科学史上最重要论文中的五篇——这些论文都是他在“业余时间”完成的。
他证明了原子和分子的存在。
1905年之前，科学家们对此没有把握。
爱因斯坦论证说光以微粒形态出现（后来被称为“光子”），这为量子力学奠定了基础。
他把狭义相对论描写为：时空如同普通织物中的线，他提出，这些线可以弯曲、拉长和交织在一起。
5 Oh, and by the way, E=mc2.5.对了，顺便提一下，E = mc2。
6 Before Einstein, 在爱因斯坦之前，最近一位迸发出如此创造性思想的科学家当数艾萨克牛顿爵士。
事情发生在1666，为了躲避在剑桥爆发的瘟疫，牛顿去母亲的农场隐居。
由于没有什么更好的事可做，他便建立万有引力理论。
7 For centuries historians called 1666 几个世纪以来,历史学家称为1666牛顿的“奇迹年”。

The Last Leaf1 At the top of a three—story brick building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio。
”Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at a cafe on Eighth Street and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted.在一幢三层砖楼的顶层，苏和约翰西辟了个画室。
“约翰西”是乔安娜的昵称。
她们一位来自缅因州，一位来自加利福尼亚。
两人相遇在第八大街的一个咖啡馆,发现各自在艺术品味、菊苣色拉，以及灯笼袖等方面趣味相投，于是就有了这个两人画室.2 That was in May. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the district， touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Johnsy was among his victims. She lay, scarcely moving on her bed, looking through the small window at the blank side of the next brick house.那是5月里的事。
到了11月，一个医生称之为肺炎的阴森的隐形客闯入了这一地区，用它冰冷的手指东碰西触。
约翰西也为其所害。
她病倒了，躺在床上几乎一动不动，只能隔着小窗望着隔壁砖房那单调沉闷的侧墙.3 One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a bushy, gray eyebrow.一天上午，忙碌的医生扬了扬灰白的浓眉,示意苏来到过道。

全新版大学英语综合教程3Unit5课文翻译1, 那是在二战期间的1943年，我是个年轻的美国海岸警卫队队员。
我们的船，美国军舰军市一号已出海多日。
多数船舱装着成千上万箱罐装或风干的食品。
其余的船舱装着不少五百磅重的炸弹，都小心翼翼地放在垫过的架子上。
我们的目的地是南太平洋图拉吉岛上一个规模很大的基地。
2,我是军市一号上的一个厨师，跟岸上的人一样，那个感恩节的上午，我们忙着在准备一道以烤火鸡为主的传统菜肴。
3, 当厨师的都知道，要烹制一顿大餐，摆上桌，再刷洗、收拾干净，是件辛苦的事。
不过，等到太阳快下山时，我们总算全都收拾停当了。
4, 我想先去后甲板透透气。
我信步走去，一边深深呼吸着空气，一边慢慢地踱着步，头上仍戴着那顶白色的厨师帽。
5,我开始思索起感恩节这个节日来，想着清教徒前辈移民、印第安人、野火鸡、南瓜、玉米棒等等。
6, 可我脑子里似乎还在搜索着别的事什么――某种我能够赋予这一节日以个人意义的方式。
大概过了半个小时左右我才意识到，问题的关键也许在于把Thanksgiving这个字前后颠倒一下――那样一来至少文字好懂了：Giving thanks。
7, 表达谢意――就如在祈祷时感谢上帝那样，我暗想。
对啊，是这样，当然是这样8，可我脑子里一直盘桓着这事。
9,过了片刻，如同晨曦初现，一个更清晰的念头终于涌现脑际――要感谢他人，那些赐我以诸多恩惠，我根本无以回报的人们。
令我深感不安的实际情形是，我向来对他们所做的一切受之泰然，认为是理所应当。
我一次也没想过要对他们中的任何一位真心诚意地说一句简单的谢谢。
10,至少有七个人对我有过不同寻常、影响深远的帮助。
令人难过的是，我意识到，他们中有一半已经过世了――因此他们永远也无法接受我的谢意了。
我越想越感到羞愧。
最后我想到了仍健在的三位，几分钟后，我就回到了自己的舱房。
11, 我坐在摊着信纸的桌旁，回想着他们各自对我所做的一切，试图用真挚的文字表达我对他们的由衷的感激之情：父亲西蒙?A?黑利，阿肯色州派因布拉夫那所古老的农业机械师范学院的教授；住在田纳西州小镇亨宁老家的外祖母辛西娅?帕尔默；以及我的文法学校校长，退休后住在亨宁以北6英里处的里普利的洛纽尔?纳尔逊牧师。

但总的来说,我在真正忙的时候高兴些，因为在那个时候，我没时间去想我有多厌倦。

明智之人天生会抵制享乐，而愚蠢之人却成了它的奴隶。
3、I figure out a good team of dogs, hitched to a light sled, can haul 1，000 pounds of goods.一组健壮的狗可以用轻小的雪橇拉动1,000磅的货物。
4、In the story, the little girl has a wicked stepmother，who makes her life a misery. 在这个故事中,小女孩有一个心肠很坏的继母,让她生活很痛苦。
5、Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced -- even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it.眼见为实—-即使是谚语在你没有在生活中得到证明时,也不一定正确。
6、Nowadays almost all libraries are finding it increasingly difficult to remain within their budget .当前，几乎所有图书馆发现靠他们的预算生存下去越来越难。

In between such chores, I manage to spend 50 to 60 hours a week at the typewriter or doing reporting for the freelance articles I sell to magazines and newspapers. 在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。 4.

Carter's devotion to her ancestor is about more than personal pride: it is about family honor. For Josiah Henson has lived on through the character in American fiction that he helped inspire: Uncle Tom, the long-suffering slave in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Ironically, that character has come to symbolize everything Henson was not.. 卡特对其先辈的忠诚不仅仅关乎一己之骄傲，而关乎家族荣誉。因为乔赛亚·亨森至今仍为人所知是由于他所激发的创作灵感使得一个美国小说人物问世：汤姆叔叔，哈丽特·比彻·斯陀的小说《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中那个逆来顺受的黑奴。具有讽刺意味的是，这一人物所象征的一切在亨森身上一点都找不到 3.

With electronic X-ray equipment, we seem finally to have figured out a way to hold the terrorists, real and imagined, at bay; it was such a relief to solve this problem that we did not think much about what such a state of affairs says about the quality of our lives. 凭借着电子透视装置，我们似乎终于想出妙计让恐怖分子无法近身，无论是真的恐怖分子还是凭空臆想的。能解决这一问题真是如释重负，于是我们不去多想这种状况对我们的生活质量意味着什么。 8. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time? 还有什么更为可悲地表明我们在这个令人困惑的新时代所感受到的惶恐之情呢？
