新世纪大学英语阅读教程4 U1Part2 文章翻译Unit 1 SuccessPart 2来自足球的成功教训——如何在人生的比赛中获胜或失败1 足球比赛就是进球和获胜。
因此,足球是生活的一面镜子,因为许多人也想实现目标,成为生活游戏中的赢家。
总的来说,我们可以从足球运动员、教练和评论员身上学到很多关于生活的东西。
2 当你听足球比赛的解说时,他们在球队获胜时反复用的关键词是关于性格和态度的词,如信念、兴奋、信心、努力等。
足球技巧和策略很重要,但没有正确的态度,就没有什么意义。
3 球队经理敦促他们的球员表现出专注、决心和最大的努力。
他告诉对手,不管对手有多么出名,他们都应该期待胜利,不要对对手表现出太多的尊重。
4 我喜欢听伟大的足球教练的评论。
他们都去过地狱又回来了。
当他们的球队获胜时,他们受到赞扬和欢迎。
当他们的球队没有赢得比赛时,他们会受到批评,甚至被解雇。
他们知道得意的高度和绝望的深度。
他们必须找到解决这两个问题的方法,并不断激励他们的球队取得胜利。
5 2005年,戈登·斯特拉坎出任苏格兰两大顶级俱乐部之一凯尔特人队的主教练。
不久他就经历了“我一生中最糟糕的一夜”。
6 在冠军联赛,欧洲的顶级联赛,布拉迪斯拉发,以5-0击败了凯尔特人。
他的手表在比赛结束后停了下来,他仍然戴着它来提醒自己那是他一生中最糟糕的一个晚上。
凯尔特人,苏格兰的骄傲,被一支不那么出名的球队羞辱了。
7 相比之下,其他的失败对他来说似乎微不足道。
我们都可以通过提醒自己过去最糟糕的情况,或者想象我们的生活比实际情况糟糕多少来学会处理困难的情况。
8 没有人确切知道明天或发生什么事。
我们可能会发生重病甚至死亡。
戈登已经面对过这种可能性。
他告诉媒体,他希望自己的墓碑上刻上这样的文字:9 这比在布拉迪斯拉发的那个晚上好多了。
10 当事情出错时,他用夸张的幽默来对付媒体的批评。
当他的球队在苏格兰输掉一场比赛时,一位记者评论道:11 “砰,这就是你们的不败纪录。
Unit 2Text A技术与幸福Technology and Happiness詹姆斯·萨洛维奇PrefaceIn the present era, all of us are enthusiastically pursuing technological advancement and take it for granted that the development of technology will make us happier. However, little evidence can be found to prove the correlation between technology and happiness once material and technological advances reach a certain level. The text below may provide you with some insights into this issue.20世纪的美国人、欧洲人和东亚人都享受到了过去历代人都无法想象的物质和技术进步带来的乐趣。
譬如,在美国,从1950年到2000年国民生产总值翻了3倍。
人们的寿命大幅度提高。
二战后生产力的迅速发展使商品变得价廉物美。
诸如乘飞机旅游和打长途电话等曾经是奢侈的事情成了生活不可或缺的一部分。
In the 20th century, Americans, Europeans, and East Asians enjoyed material and technological advances that were unimaginable in previous eras. In the United States, for instance, gross domestic product per capita tripled from 1950 to 2000. Life expectancy soared. The boom in productivity after World War II made goods better and cheaper at the same time . Things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, became necessities. And even though Americans seemed to work extraordinarily hard, their pursuit of entertainment turned media and leisure into multibillion-dollar industries.那么,根据大多数标准衡量,你会说,现在的美国人比上个世纪中叶富裕多了。
Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。

Unit One Text A Man in the Realm of NatureAlexander SpirkinHuman beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.Man is not only a dweller in nature, he also transforms it. Humanity converts nature's wealth into the means of the cultural, historical life of society. Man has subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society. Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals.As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows. Our distant ancestors lived in fear of nature's destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtain the merest daily necessities. However, despite their imperfect tools, they worked together stubbornly, collectively, and were able to attain results. Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased. Nature with its elemental forces was regarded as something hostile to man. The forest, for example, was something wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat. This was all done in the name of civilisation, which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth was cultivated, where the forest had been cut down.But as time goes on mankind becomes increasingly concerned with the question of where and how to obtain irreplaceable natural resources for the needs of production. Science and man's practical transforming activities have made humanity aware of the enormous geological role played by the industrial transformation of the earth.At present the previous dynamic balance between man and nature and between nature and society as a whole, has shown ominous signs of breaking down. The problem of the so-called replaceable resources of the biosphere has become particularly acute. It is getting more and more difficult to satisfy the needs of human beings and society even for such a substance, for example, as fresh water. The problem of eliminating industrial waste is also becoming increasingly complex.Modern technology is distinguished by an ever increasing abundance of produced and used synthetic goods. Hundreds of thousands of synthetic materials are being made. People increasingly cover their bodies from head to foot in nylon and other synthetic, glittering fabrics that are obviously not good for them. Young people may hardly feel this, and they pay more attention to appearance than to health. But they become more aware of this harmful influence as they grow older.As time goes on the synthetic output of production turns into waste, and then substances that in their original form were not very toxic are transformed in the cycle of natural processes into aggressive agents. Today both natural scientists and philosophers are asking themselves the question: Is man's destruction of the biosphere inevitable?The man-nature relation – the crisis of the ecological situation – is a global problem. Its solution lies in rational and wise organization of both production itself and care for Mother Nature, not just by individuals, enterprises or countries, but by all humanity. One of the ways to deal with the crisis situation in the "man-nature" system is to use such resources as solar energy, the power of winds, the riches of the seas and oceans and other, as yet unknown natural forces of the universe.But to return to our theme, the bitter truth is that those human actions which violate the laws of nature, the harmony of the biosphere, threaten to bring disaster and this disaster may turn out to be universal. How apt then are the words of ancient Oriental wisdom: live closer to nature, my friends, and its eternal laws will protect you!人在自然界| 亚历山大·斯伯金人类生活在大自然的王国里。

他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。
人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物,无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。
我们与大自然血肉相连,离开大自然,我们将无法生存。
人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。
人类把自然资源转变为各种文化,社会历史的财富。
人类降服并控制了电,迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。
人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境,也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。
随着社会的发展,人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少,而间接的依赖却越来越多。
我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中,他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。
然而,尽管工具不甚完备,他们却能同心协力,顽强工作,并总是有所收获。
在与人类的相互作用中,大自然也发生了改变。
森林被破坏了,耕地面积增加了。
大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。
譬如,森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的,因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。
这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的,所谓“文明”,就是人类在哪里建立家园,耕耘土地,哪里的森林就被砍伐。
然而,随着岁月的流逝,人类越来越关注的是在何处得到和如何得到生产所需的不可替代的自然资源的问题。
科学与人类改变大自然的实践活动已经使人类意识到了工业在改变地球的进程中对地质产生的重大影响。
目前,人与自然以及自然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡,已呈现崩溃的迹象。
生物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为尖锐。
人类和社会的需求,即便是简单得像淡水一样的物质,也变得越来越难以满足。
清除工业废物的问题也变得日益复杂。

普通人的胜出之道在大学里,Jim似乎是一个非常优秀的快速成功者。
他用很少的努力取得很好的等第,他的同学评选他是“最可能成功的人”。
毕业后,他有几个工作可选。
Jim进入一家大型保险公司的销售部门并且在工作之初表现很好。
但他很快陷入一种停滞不前的状态,随后跳到一家更小的公司,情况同样如此。
厌倦了销售工作,他开始尝试销售管理。
然而之前的模式又发生了:他深受喜爱,被认为是一个能快速成功的人,但他很快就只能像哑炮一样只能发出微弱的嘶嘶声了。
现在他为另外一家公司卖保险,并且疑惑他为什么不能做得更好。
Joseph D'Arrigo是另外一个例子。
“我总把我自己看作是一个普通人,”D'Arrigo告诉我。
“我进入寿险这一行,做得还算不错。
我有幸与几个最棒的寿险推销员一起被指任为一委员会委员。
一时间我吓得要命。
”当他开始了解这些成功者时,D'Arrigo意识到了什么:“他们并没有比我有更高的天赋。
他们也是普通人,只是他们把眼光放高一些,然后找到了实现他们目标的途径。
”他还意识到了更多的东西:“如果其他普通人可以梦想远大的梦想,我也可以。
”现在他自己拥有一个市值数百万美元的专营员工福利的公司。
为什么像D'Arrigo这样的普通人似乎经常能比像Jim一样的人取得更多的成功呢?为了找出其中的原因,在我作为公司咨询者的工作中,我与超过190个人进行了面谈。
非正式调查的结果为我证实了Theodore Roosevelt曾经说过的话:“成功的普通人不是天才,他仅仅拥有平凡品质,但他将他的那些平凡品质发展到超出常人的水平。
”我坚信那些胜出的普通人有以下特点:懂得自律。
“你不需要成功的天赋,”科罗拉多州丹佛市Porter纪念医院的首席执行官,因扭转经营不善的医院而获得名望的Irwin C. Hansen 强调“你的全部所需是一大罐胶水。
你在你的椅子上涂上一些,在裤子的臀部涂上一些,然后坐在上面,坚持做每一件事直到你做到了你自己的最好。

以下是小编整理的新世纪英语四课文翻译,欢迎阅读。
How do mainstream media become mainstream?Part of the reason I write about media is that I'm interested in all kinds of knowledge and culture, and the easiest thing to study is the media. Every day we find the media. So you can do systematic research, and compare the differences between today and yesterday. There is a lot of evidence for the media to exaggerate what is being played out, what is not exaggerated, and how the media is building things.My impression of the media has always been that it is not very different from the academic or, for example, the journals that make the case for intellectuals, although there are some additional restrictions. But they interact with each other, and that's why people move freely between these fields. You want to study the media as scientists study a complex molecule. You look at the internal organizational structure of the media and then make some assumptions about what media products might look like on that basis. Then you look at media products to see if the situation is consistent with your assumptions. In fact, the work of media analysis belongs to the last one -- to study carefully what media products are, and whether these products meet the assumptions of those who know the nature and structure of the media.So what did you find? First of all, you found that different media are doing different things, such as entertainment or Hollywood, soap, etc., or even most of the domestic (most) of thenewspaper, they are in the lead the masses.Another part of the media, the elite media, media are sometimes referred to as setting issues, because resources are rich, they set a framework for other peers in this framework, such as the New York times and CBS. Their audiences are mostly privileged. People who read the New York times - the rich or sometimes called some of the political class - are actually engaged in the political system. They basically is the management of one kind or another, may be managers in the field of politics, business managers (e.g., the company's management, etc.), Dr Managers (e.g., a professor at the university), or those for people to see a problem with thinking and methods for planning arrangement.Elite media sets the framework for other media to operate. If you were watching the ap news, it continuously published a lot of messages, around three o 'clock in the afternoon it will suspend release new message, come out a every day the same notice: "dear editor note: tomorrow, the New York times front page will be issued the following news." The aim is that if you are a city of Dayton, Ohio, the editor of a newspaper, but there was no news sources, can think of or don't bother to dig the news, the announcement to tell you what news. The news is on the fourth page of your home page, and you leave it to non-local news or entertainment news. Put them in those pages because the New York times tells you what to watch tomorrow. If you're OhioEditor of a newspaper in Dayton, state, you can say that you have to do that because you lack the resources. If you don't do it by the rules, you'll soon see the consequences if you don't like it. In fact, the recent events in the SAN jose mercury news are a casein point. If you're off track, there are plenty of things you can do to get you back on track. If you break the pattern, it won't last long. That framework works well, it just reflects the obvious power structure, understandable.The real mass media is basically entertainment. Let them do something else, so long as they don't bother us (" we "means people who control everything). For example, let them be interested in the sport of professional sport, which fascinates people about professional sports, sex scandals, celebrities and their problems, and so on. Anything, as long as it doesn't involve serious content. Of course, serious matters should be addressed by "us".What are the elite media that set the agenda? For example, the New York times and CBS. First, they are both large and highly profitable companies, and most of them are in contact with larger companies like general electric or Westinghouse, or are wholly owned by them. In the framework of the system of private ownership, their status is high. Companies are basically autocratic, hierarchical and top-down control systems. If you don't like what they are doing, please do it yourself. The mainstream media is only part of that system.What is the environment of the media system? It's basically the same thing. Interacting with them are all other important centres of power - government, other companies or universities. Because the media is a theoretical system, they are closely related to universities. Suppose you are a reporter to write a report about southeast Asia or Africa, you should to find a famous university expert to tell you what to write, or to a certain foundation, such as the brookings institute or the American enterprise institute, they will tell you what to say. These peripheral institutions arevery similar to the media.Universities, for example, are not independent institutions. While there may be some independent people in college, the media is the same, and so are the companies. In this regard, the fascist countries also have independent people. But the university itself is a parasitic institution that rely on external support, the support, such as private wealth fund companies and the government (the government and corporate power linked so closely that you even it is difficult to distinguish between both), the university's basic survival in them. Who find themselves in the midst of college without adaptation, not willing to accept and agree with the structure of people (if you don't agree with it, to believe in it, you won't be able to work together with it), will gradually be cleared out, from kindergarten began. There are many ways to filter out those pesky, independent thinkers. People who have gone to college know that the education system is a very good system for encouraging conformity. If you don't follow the rules, you will make trouble. Thus, the people who eventually leave behind this filter are the ones that really, honestly (and not pretend to) identify with the beliefs and attitudes of the social power class. The top schools, such as harvard and Princeton, and those small, high schools, have social functions. If you go through a school like harvard, where most of the time it's taught how to behave like a member of the upper class, how to think correctly and so on.Well, look at the structure of the whole system. What do you expect the news to be? The results were obvious. We take the New York times as an example, it's a company that sells products, and its products are its audience. They didn't make money when you bought their newspaper. They are also happy to putnewspapers on the Internet for free reading. In fact, selling newspapers is a loss to them. But the audience is their real product. Their product is the privileged class, you know, like those newspaper writers who are at the top of society making decisions. You have to sell products to the market, which, of course, refers to advertisers (ie, other industries). They sell their audiences, whether it's television or newspapers or any other media. These companies sell their audiences to other companies. This is big business for elite media.Well, what do you expect to happen? What can you predict about the nature of media products in such a social environment? What would be the null hypothesis based on no further assumptions? The obvious assumption is that media products - both tangible and intangible - tend to reflect the interests of buyers and sellers around the media, the interests of these institutions. It would have been a miracle.【翻译】主流媒体何以成为主流?我之所以写关于媒体的文章,部分原因是我对所有知识文化都很感兴趣,其中最容易研究的便是媒体。
