新视野大学英语第一册课文翻译（New horizon, College English,Volume 1, text translation）New horizon, College English, Volume 1, text translationUnit 11 learning foreign languages is one of the hardest and most meaningful experiences of my life. Although often encountered setbacks, but it is very valuable.2 my experience of learning a foreign language began with my first English lesson in junior high school. The teacher is very kind and patient and always praises the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could. My grades have been among the best for two years.3 after high school, I was eager to continue learning english. However, high school experiences are quite different from what they used to be. Before the teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered wrong, she will use a long stick at us, shaking it up and down, shouting: "wrong! Wrong！ Wrong!" Before long, I was no longer eager to answer questions. Not only did I lose the pleasure of answering questions, but I didn't even want to say half a word in english.4 fortunately, this situation did not last long. At college,I learned that all students had to take English lessons. Different with high school teachers, College English teachers were patient and kind, and never take the pointer! But thesituation is far from satisfactory. As a result of class, every class has very few questions for me to answer. After a few weeks' lessons, I also found that many of my classmates speak English better than I do. I began to feel a sense of dread. Although the reasons were different from those in high school, I dared not speak again.It seems that my English is going to stop forever.5 it wasn't until several years later that I had the chance to take a distance English course that things improved. The medium for this course is a computer, a telephone line and a modem.I soon got access to the necessary equipment from a friend and how to use computer technology, so I use 5 to 7 days a week to learn English in the virtual classroom.6 online learning is no easier than ordinary classroom learning. It takes a lot of time and requires learners to concentrate on their discipline to keep up with the progress of the course.I try my best to meet the minimum requirements of the course and finish my homework on time.7 I study anywhere and anytime. No matter where I go, I always carry a pocket dictionary and notebook with my new words in my notebook. I've made a lot of mistakes in my studies, and sometimes embarrassing mistakes. Sometimes I cry for frustration, and sometimes I even want to give up. But I have never been afraid of speaking faster than my classmates because I can take time to think about my thoughts on my computer screen. Suddenly one day I found myself understood, and more importantly, I spoke English flexibly. Although I still makemistakes, I still have a lot to learn, but I've already tasted the benefits of hard work.8 learning a foreign language is a very difficult experience for me, but it is also very precious. It not only made me understand the meaning of hard work, but also made me understand different cultures and let me look at things in a completely new way of thinking. The most exciting thing about learning a foreign language is that I can communicate with more people. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities. The new language enables me to get in touch with strangers, participate in their conversations, and build new and unforgettable friendships. Because I can speak English, others speak English when I am no longer quite at a loss. I can get involved and make friends. I am able to communicate with people and bridge the gap between the language I speak and the culture I speak and their language and culture.Unit 21, the radio "click", rock and roll will loudly loudly opened. The music woke Sandy like a gunshot. She looked at the clock. It was a quarter past 6 in the morning. She lay on the bed, listening to her favorite radio, humming words.2 "Sandy," her father shouted, "Sandy, turn off the music."!" Steve Finch rushed into her bedroom. "Why do you have to listen to such bad music?" I heard it again and again. It's rhythmic, but I'm afraid it's not real music."3 "I like this kind of music, dad. This is my favorite. Listen,you'll like it." Sandy stretched out his hand to make the music louder.4 "no, don't make so loud noise, I can't stand it.". Turn down the radio so that your mother and I can't hear you. I'm sure the music hurts both your ears and your brain."5 Sandy walks into the bathroom and opens the shower head. Then she grabbed the soap, washed it all over and over, and even washed her hair.6 after the shower, Sandy combed his hair and put on an old green T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Then she put on makeup and walked into the kitchen. As usual, she didn't know what to eat for breakfast, grabbed a glass of milk and stood by the sink for toast. Just then her mother, Jane, went into the kitchen.7 "Sandy,Why don't you sit down to dinner? Eating standing is bad for your health."8 "I know, mom, but I don't have time to sit down and eat."."9, did you do your homework yesterday, honey?"10 "done!"."11, have you brushed your teeth?"12 "Mum, I haven't finished my dinner yet.". Finish, brushagain."13 "Sandy, why are you wearing that old T-shirt?" Dead ugly."14 "Mom, please don't do that."."15 "what's the matter?""16 "don't bother me so much."."17 "Sandy, how did you trace your Eyeliner?""18 "I did, mom.". I've been tracing it for months. Isn't it beautiful?"19 "Sandy Finch, you're too young to make so much make-up."."20 "Mom, I'm 15 years old, and I'm old enough to make up.". To tell you the truth, all the girls at school makeup, some have tattoos, some still wearing earrings, nose rings, tongue ring. Mom, I don't have time to tell you now. I'm running late. I have to go. Goodbye." Sandy gave her mother a quick peck on the cheek, picked up the book and rushed out of the room.21 after Sandy left home for school, Jan Finch sat down quietly for coffee. After a while, her husband came in.22 "Steve, have some coffee?"" Jane asked.23 "no, thanks, honey.". My stomach uncomfortable, The mind is very confused. It's probably that nasty music that wakes me upevery morning. I don't think I'm old enough to fall out of the way, but it's really annoying me to listen endlessly to the boring, boring song."24 "you know, dear, people of different ages like different music," Jane advised. "Do you remember some of the music we've heard?""25 Steve smiled. "You've got a point there.". Maybe having breakfast would make me feel better."26 "did you notice what makeup our 15 year old daughter made this morning?" I can't believe I didn't notice it before. I think we should feel lucky, because our daughter's biggest problem is just make-up. I saw other young people loafing around the town, tattoos, and holes in it."27 "what worries me is," Steve said. "That kind of music can have a negative effect on Sandy. I don't know what happened to our daughter. She's changing. I'm worried about her. Cosmetics, bad music, who knows what will happen next? We have to talk to her. The news is about teenagers who are in trouble, but their parents don't know what's wrong with their children."28 "Oh, I don't think her music is so bad.". "Anyway, you're right, we need to talk to Sandy," Jane said.29 on the way to work, Jan Finch drove in the car, thinking of her Sandy. She knew what she wanted to say. What did she have to say to Sandy?. She was able to communicate with Sandy, which made her happy. She knew she had to be patient and had to keepthe channels of communication between herself and Sandy open. She wanted to be around Sandy and be her protector, as well as her freedom to find her own self.Unit 31 if I were seen with my father when I was young, I would feel embarrassed. He was badly crippled and short. While we were walking together, his hand was resting on my arm to keep balance, and people would stare. I feel awkward about such an annoying stare. Even when his father noticed or felt uneasy, he never showed it.2 our pace was difficult to reconcile - he often stopped and my steps were impatient. Because of this, we talked very little. But as we started out, he always said: "you set the pace, I follow you."3 we usually go back and forth between the subway door and the front door. That's his route to work. He goes to work when he is ill or in bad weather, hardly ever absent from work. He always arrives at the office on time, even though others can't do it. It's something to be proud of.4 on the road covered with snow and ice, even with help, he can hardly walk. This time, I or my sisters with a child's wagon with steel pull him through the streets of Broolyn to the New York subway station. As soon as he got there, he clung to the handrail of the subway and went down, because the subway was warmer and the steps below were free of ice and snow. The subway station in Manhattan goes through the basement of their officebuilding. He doesn't have to leave the station (to the office). Go home, we will pick him to Broolyn subway station.5 now, in retrospect, I can not help wondering how much courage an adult can bear the humiliation and the pressure of being an adult like him, when he seems to have no pain or complaint.6 he never says he is poor,He never shows his admiration for those who are more fortunate or healthy than he is. What he has been looking for from others is a kind heart". Once found, the man was a great man in his mind.7 now that I am grown up, I believe that this is the criterion for judging a person. I don't know exactly what it means to be kind, but I know I don't have such a good heart sometimes".8 although many activities father can not participate, but he tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team lacked a manager, he made it work. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to watch the Broolyn Dodgers game. He liked to go to parties and parties, although there he could sit and watch, but he enjoyed himself.9 remember at a beach party, for a fight, everyone with battle, pushing each other. He was not content to sit and watch, but on the soft sand he could not stand up if no one helped him. So in a very helpless situation, he shouted, "who sits down and plays with me? Who wants to sit down and fight me?"!"10 no one sat down and played with him. On the second day, people joked with him, saying that it was the first time a boxer had been asked to fall for defeat before he started the fight.11 now I know he was indirectly involved in some things through me, his only son. When I played, he played, and when I joined the Navy, he joined me. He must let me visit his office when I'm on vacation. When he introduced me, he was actually saying, "it's my son, but it's me.". If I hadn't been lame, I'd have been like him."12 now my father has been dead for many years, but I often think of him. I wondered if he had noticed that I was unwilling to be seen at our company. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was him, I was so unfilial, how I regret. Now, whenever I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart", I will think of him.13 during this time, I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance,I would say: "you set the pace, I follow you."Unit 41, studies have shown that our judgments of others are based on the silent exchange of seven seconds of our first encounter with them. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we use our eyes, facial expressions, body movements, and attitudes to show our true feelings, thereby producing a series of reactions from comfort to fear.2 think of some of your most memorable meetings: introduced to your future wife or husband, a job interview, an encounter with a stranger. Focus your attention on the first seven seconds. What did you think of that? How do you interpret others? How do you think he read you?3 you are the information. For 25 years, I've worked with thousands of people who want to succeed. I help them, make their speeches persuasive, teach them how to answer unfriendly questions, and how to communicate more effectively with people.And the secret of all this is to know that you are the information.4 if you take advantage of your strengths, others will be willing to be with you and be willing to help you. These include: appearance, vitality, speed, pronunciation, intonation, gestures, eyes, and the ability to keep others interested in you. Other people's impression of you is based on these factors.5 think about the times when you knew exactly how you made a good impression. What's the reason for your success? That's because you're very involved in what you're talking about, and you're totally immersed in it, so you don't feel shy.6 keep yourself. Many instructive books suggest you stride intoa room and impress others with your strengths. They will teach you to greet people with a strong handshake and tell you to stare at each other with your eyes. But if you follow all these tips, you'll make everyone suffer - including yourself.7 the trick is to be consistently self and stay at your best. The most impressive people never change themselves as circumstances change. Whether they are talking to people, speaking at a gardening club, or in a job interview, they all do the same. They communicate with each other wholeheartedly; their tones and gestures are consistent with what they say.8, however, speeches often carry mixed messages.One of my favorite examples of speakers is people who look at their shoes and say, "ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad to be here.". They don't look happy.They looked angry, frightened, or depressed.9 the audience always believes what they see in their own eyes is better than what they hear. "They would think," he told me he was happy, but he wasn't like that. He did not tell the truth."10 use your eyes. Whether you're talking to a person or speaking to one hundred people, always remember to look at them. Some people will look straight at you when you start talking, but when you say a few words, he breaks your eye contact and looks out of the window.11 when you walk into the room, your eyes glance at you calmly, then look straight at the people in the room and smile at them. Smiling is very important. It shows you are relaxed. Some people think that entering a room with many people is like walking into a lion's cage. I disagree with this statement. Even if I agree,I certainly won't look at my feet or the ceiling. I'll watch the lion.12 don't take it too seriously. At a staff meeting, one of the most influential chairman of the entertainment industry, angry at a few trivial questions, blamed everyone for meeting employees who were afraid of themselves. When he came up to me, he shouted to me, "and you, Ayers, what are you busy with?""13 I said, "you mean now?" Tonight? Or in the rest of my life?" There was a moment of silence. Then the chairman raised his head and roared with laughter. The others laughed as well. Humor can break the tension in awkward situations.14 If I had to say my advice in a few words, it would be "don't take it too seriously," and you will always find that some people treat themselves too seriously. They are usually not talking, but talking about themselves.15 look at yourself carefully. Do you say "me" too often? Do you usually focus your attention on your personal problems? Do you complain a lot? For these questions, even if only one of them gives you a positive answer, then you need to "don't take it too seriously.". In order for others to feel at ease, you must act comfortably first.No big changes, just keep yourself. You have the power to make a good impression on yourself, because you can do it well only if you keep yourself. Nobody can take the place of you.Unit 51 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was discovered in the United States in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has claimed more than 20.4 million Americans - half of them in the past few years. In addition, 185 thousand of the 1 million people infected with HIV will die within a year.2 of the people diagnosed with HIV are black and Latino americans. Women and youth in rural communities in the south are the fastest growing group of AIDS patients.3, despite the staggering amount, federal and state governments are slow in implementing plans to prevent the spread of aids. In view of the lack of government action, many local organizations came into being.4 South Carolina AIDS education network was established in 1985 to prevent the increase in the number of AIDS cases. Like many local organizations, the group lacks funds, forcing it to use its resources creatively. In order to reach more community residents, some AIDS education programs are implemented in salons.5, the hair shop owner sends out AIDS information to customers when they come in and shows them a video about AIDS prevention while they wait for their hair to dry. She also put some books and other publications in the store for customers to read while waiting. It is amazing how many people have been educated while she is working.6 recently, the education network has begun to help hairstylists throughout the southeastern United States to implement similar programs in their salons. They are also valuable resources for disseminating information to schools, communities, organizations, and churches.7, the organization also summed up some of the other work in the same work groups are helpful. Although there is no way to overcome AIDS, but this network of institutions in the fight against AIDS has gained the following experience:8< talk to them in a way that community residents can accept.The education of many communities is low, which makes it impossible to distribute AIDS information to them and hope they will read it themselves. In order to solve this problem, some people who are good at painting are required to write AIDS education books for residents with low educational level.9 these books use simple, hand drawn "sad faces" and "happy faces" and other pictures,Describe ways to prevent infection with aids. These books also show pictures that look very similar to those who need to be educated. When residents see familiar faces and can understand the language, they will make more comments and opinions. As a result, these books have a greater impact on the communities that use them than the government's books, and the government publishes books costing thousands of dollars.10< trains teenagers to educate their peers.Because of AIDS in the rural South spreading fastest among teenagers stylists have established an "AIDS busters" training project, 8 to 26 year olds, let them into the community to peer "AIDS 101" course. These teens make the course easy to learn and do much better than adults in explaining the risk of HIV infection to their friends of their age. They also play an important role in helping parents understand the pressures that their children experience from their peers.11 redefine the concept of "danger" and include women of different backgrounds and marital statusA woman's doctor told her that she did not have the risk of contracting AIDS because she was married and did not take drugs. Such misconceptions plague the medical establishment. According to the Centers for disease control, women account for 80% of the number of people living with hiv.12 hair stylists also emphasize that everyone is in danger, so each of us has the right to protect himself - whether married or not.13, these experiences are not the only way to solve the AIDS crisis, but before finding a cure for AIDS, education can be the only safety precaution against HIV infection.14, unlike other infectious diseases, AIDS, the infectious disease, could kill a generation and cause another generation to lose both parents. Therefore, we must not allow cultural, racial and social barriers to prevent us from concentrating on the work we must do. Nor can we give up our work because of theinefficiency of the government. This is an undeclared war, and each of us must take part in it. Only in this way can we win. We must not let AIDS continue to make us feel bad, and let people continue to be deprived of life by aids. Everyone must become an educator and must learn to live.Chinese translation, the main point of view after class, the five questions on the line, and then all the ok.Happy exam!。
