海浪是大海和空气相斗的产物，无限的一种不间断的标志。

Rays from the sun excite and energize the atmosphere of the earth, awakening it to flow, to movement, to rhythm, to life. reɪz frɒm ðə sʌn ɪkˈsaɪt ænd ˈenəʤaɪz ði ˈæt məsfɪər ɒv ði ɜːθ,əˈweɪknɪŋɪt tuː fləʊ, tuːˈm uːvmənt, tuːˈrɪðəm, tuː laɪf.太阳光刺激了地球的大气层，并给予它能量；阳光使空气开始流动，产生节奏，获得生命。

The wind then speaks the message of the sun to the sea and the sea transmits it on through waves----an ancient, exquisite, powerful message. ðə wɪnd ðen spiːks ðəˈmesɪʤɒv ðə sʌn tuː ðəsiː ænd ðəsiːtrænzˈmɪts ɪt ɒn θruː weɪvz----ən ˈeɪnʃᵊnt, ˈekskwɪzɪt, ˈpaʊəfʊl ˈmesɪʤ.然后，风把太阳的住处带给了大海，海洋用波浪的形式传递这个信息-- 一个源过流长、高雅而有力的信息。

Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in. Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information. The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a pay phone. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax. 【课⽂翻译】 谁也弄不清为什么⼤学⽣好像⽐任何⼈都更喜欢恶作剧。
