(take on)With his promotion, he has taken on greater responsibilities.2、他感到没有必要再一次对约翰承担这样的责任了。

(as opposed to)Mary likes to go shopping in her spare time, as opposed to Lucy, who prefers to stay at home reading.4、说得好听一些,可以说他有抱负,用最糟糕的话来说,他是一个没有良心 (conscience) 且没有资格的权力追求者。
(at best, at worst)At best he 's ambitious, and at worst a power-seeker without conscience or qualifications.5、我们已尽全力想说服他,但是却毫无进展。
(strive, make no headway)We have striven to the full to convince him, but we have made no headway.U2A1.宪法规定公民享有言论自由。

1. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.我们都觉得在校时间不多了,以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了,所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。
当然,下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。
我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一,那也太丢人了,因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。
以前每天下午五点以后,图书馆就空无一人了,现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座,小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋,他们脸色苍白,睡眼惺忪,却很自豪,好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。
2. Tomorrow? It's all a lie; there isn't a tomorrow. There's only a promissory note that we are often not in a position to cash. It doesn't even exist. When you wake up in the morning it'll be today again and all the same rules will apply. Tomorrow is just another version of now, an empty field that will remain so unless we start planting some seeds. Your time, which is ticking away as we speak (at about 60 seconds a minute chronologically; a bit faster if you don't invest your time wisely), will be gone and you'll have nothing to show for it but regret and a rear-view mirror full of "could haves", "should haves" and "would haves".明天行吗?明天只是个谎言;根本就没有什么明天,只有一张我们常常无法兑现的期票。
大英3_英语6篇课文译文Unit 1什么才是真正的勇气?在六年前的一次班机上,我终于见证了什么才是真正的勇气。
直到今天,当我回忆这件事的时候,才不至于热泪盈眶。
星期五早上,当我所乘坐的班机LlO1l从奥兰多机场起飞时,乘客们都心情爽朗、兴致高昂。
搭乘早班机的人主要是前往亚特兰大出差一、两天的职业人士。
我环顾四周,尽是老练的商务乘客的装束:名牌套装、皮质公文包等。
我往后坐了坐,准备读些轻松的东西,舒服地度过接下来的短暂飞行。
刚起飞不久,大家就明显感觉到有些不妥。
机舱忽上忽下,左右摇晃。
所有有经验的旅客,包括我在内,看着周围的人,都会心地笑了。
大家的表情表明,谁都经历过飞机上的这些小状况。
如果飞机乘多了,你就会碰到这样的事情,就知道该如何适应这些状况了。
可是,我们的心没能平静多久。
飞机在空中飞了没几分钟,就突然一只机翼朝下,疯了似地往下坠了。
飞机又向上攀升,但这并不起什么作用。
不起作用。
没过多久,飞行员就严肃地向乘客通报了情况。
“我们遇到些麻烦,”他说,“现在情况是飞机的一个引擎失控了。
指示器显示我们的液压系统已经失灵,飞机要立刻返回奥兰多机场。
由于缺乏液压,所以我们不确定起落架是否能固定得住,着陆时会很颠簸,空乘人员会帮您做好准备。
另外,如果您向窗外看一下的话,就会看到我们正在倾倒飞机燃料。
我们希望在紧急着陆且颠簸严重的情况下,尽可能减少飞机上的燃料。
”换句话说:我们就要坠机了。
数百加仑的燃料从燃料箱中倾倒出来,在我面前的舷窗外流下,没有哪种景象能比这更令人清醒的了。
乘务人员帮助乘客们摆好缓冲姿势,并安慰着那些已经异常激动的人们。
我看了一下周围的商务旅客,他们面部表情的变化让我感到惊讶。
许多人显然被吓坏了,即便是那些最冷静的乘客此时也脸色苍白,表情非常严肃。
的确,他们看上去面如死灰,这是我从未见过的。
我想面对死亡没有人不害怕,每个人面对这种情况都会不同程度地失去镇静,无一例外。
我开始在人群中寻找,看看有没有人在这种情况下仍然保持平静和镇定,这只有真正拥有勇气和坚定信念的人才能做到。

UNIT 2你的爱有多深曼茜·巴蒂亚1 有人认为爱如浮云有人认为爱坚强如铁有人认为爱是一种生活方式有人认为爱是一种感觉有人说爱要执着有人说爱不要约束有人说爱是生命的全部有人说不知道爱为何物2 在我们生命中的某个阶段,我们会经历某种难以名状的情感所带来的阵阵折磨。
这种情感只能体会,无法用语言描述。
莫大的喜悦伴随着丝丝的伤感一同降临,这就是爱。
3 在紧张忙碌的生活中,我们竟能找到时间,沉湎于感情之中,这的确令人感佩。
然而,此时我想知道:我们是否懂得爱到底有多么深刻。
记得上学的时候,我迷恋的对象真是数不清:我的数学老师、邻居的儿子、好朋友的弟弟,还有另外一些因为眼睛的颜色、胡子的形状或走路的姿势而让我倾慕的人。
年少时的爱慕,不会带来伤害,如肥皂泡一样转瞬即逝。
那些稚气、大胆的想法和行为,现在想来大可一笑了之。
但是,在那时,对我来说,没有比恋爱更重要的事了。
接着就进入了真正“谈”情“说”爱的阶段。
4 我在女子学校学习,和男孩子交往的机会寥寥无几,因此,我热切地期待着我们学校和男子学校举办的交谊会。
交谊会上,一群精心打扮的年轻男子毫无顾忌地盯着我们。
这三个小时中的点点滴滴,成了我们在以后四个星期中足够的谈资,我们在议论时,心情澎湃。
5 即使是在那个时候,我也没有真正交男朋友的需要。
6 在我的成长岁月中,不知何故,我相信爱情该来的时候自然会来。
事实果真如此。
当我有了稳定的工作,有了长期的计划和比较安定的生活(我现在还不到25岁呢!)时,爱情降临了。
我也比较成熟了,能够步入不贪图许多回报而需要大量付出的感情关系。
7 我的爱情是在友谊这块地基上建起的高楼大厦。
爱情经过旷日持久的培养才开花。
我和我的恋人相互理解、同甘共苦、相互关心,投入了丰富的感情,才使爱情发展到今天。
爱情意味着情投意合。
你也许会说,我属于浪漫的传统派。
但是,依我看,爱情需要培养。
我们必须把爱情同强烈而短暂的激情或身体的愉悦区别开来。
8 我们的父辈,接受了理想爱情的灌输。
新标准大英二课文翻译The Veldt。
It was a hot day in August, and the family had just moved into a new home. The house was a marvel of technology, with automatic devices to cook, clean, and even tie the children's shoes. The children, Peter and Wendy, were delighted with the house's "nursery," a virtual reality room that could create any environment they desired. Their parents, George and Lydia, were pleased with the convenience of the house, but they soon became concerned about the children's obsession with the nursery.The nursery seemed to be stuck on an African veldt, with lions and vultures circling in the distance. George and Lydia were disturbed by the realistic nature of the nursery and the children's refusal to leave its virtual world. They decided to call in a psychologist to take a look at the situation.The psychologist, David McClean, was shocked by what he saw in the nursery. The children had become completely attached to the virtual world, and it seemed to be affecting their behavior. McClean suggested that the family shut down the nursery and spend more time together as a family.George and Lydia were hesitant to shut down the nursery, as they had become reliant on the house's technology. However, they agreed to give it a try. When they told the children about their decision, Peter and Wendy became angry and defiant. They begged and pleaded for the nursery to stay open, but George and Lydia stood firm.As the days went by, the children's behavior became more and more erratic. They became sullen and withdrawn, and George and Lydia began to fear for their safety. One day, they heard a scream coming from the nursery and rushed to see what had happened. To their horror, they found that the nursery had created a virtual version of themselves being attacked by lions.Realizing the danger the nursery posed, George and Lydia quickly shut it down and called McClean for help. McClean arrived and helped the family come to terms with thesituation. They all agreed to spend more time together as a family and to rely less on technology.In the end, the family learned the importance of human connection and the dangers of becoming too reliant on technology. They vowed to create a more balanced and healthy lifestyle for themselves, free from the dangers of the virtual world.The End.。
