UNIT 1陌生人的善意1 一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的，我想。
再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西•威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇•杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11.This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance betweenthe poles of creativity and basic skills.Text Organization1.(1) The text begins with an anecdote.(2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and theWest.(3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.(1)C: show a child how to do something, or teach by holding the handA: teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems(2)C: give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing thatcreativity can be promoted over timeA: put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1) summarizing(2) value originality and independence(3) contrast between(4) in terms of(5) harbor(6) fearful(7) comparable(8) promote creativity(9) emerge(10) picked upVocabulary1.(1)insert(2)on occasion(3)investigate(4)In retrospect(5)initial(6)phenpmena(7)attached(8)make up for(9)is awaiting(10)not in the least(11)promote(12)emerged2.

It is also helpful to summarize ourexperience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit 2Comprehension1.The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.

It is also helpful to summarize ourexperience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning ismore effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep workinghard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.

课文翻译（unit 1 - unit 8）谢谢您带给我们多年来最畅快的欢笑1 最近一个周末，有位女士在大西洋城玩老虎机，赢了满满一桶二十五美分的硬币。
她暂时离开赌博机，与丈夫前往旅馆餐厅吃晚饭。
2 不过，她想先去客房把硬币藏起来。
“我去一会儿就回来，然后我们再去吃饭。
”她对她的丈夫说道，之后，便提着满满一桶硬币朝电梯走去。
3 她正要走进电梯时，看到电梯里已经有两位男乘客。
两位都是黑人，其中一位个头很高，体型令人望而生畏。
这位女士一下子愣住了。
她的第一反应是：“这两个男人会打劫我。
”她转而又想：“不要戴着‘有色眼镜’看人；他们看上去完全像是绅士。
”然而，种族偏见的力量是强大的，恐惧使她浑身发凉。
她定在那里，眼睛紧盯着眼前两位男子。
4 她开始焦虑，心神不定，又感到不好意思。
她希望他们没有看出她的心思，但是，天啊，他们肯定已经知道她在琢磨什么了！5 要不要进去和他们同乘一部电梯？她迟疑不决的态度已经太过明显了。
她涨得满脸通红。
老站着不动也无济于事，于是她横下心来，抬起一只脚往前挪，接着另一只脚也跟了进来，站在电梯内。
她不敢抬眼，僵直地转过身，脸朝外，这时，电梯门合上了。
时间一秒一秒地过去。
她越来越害怕！电梯纹丝不动。
她陷入了恐惧的深渊。
“我的天啊，”她暗忖，“我被困在这里，要遭人劫财！”她的心往下沉，每个毛孔都在冒汗水。
6 这时，她听到其中一个人说：“趴下（与“按下楼层”同音）。
”她的本能反应就是照着他们的话做。
于是她张开双臂，趴在了电梯地板上，满桶的硬币飞向空中，洒了出去。
硬币如雨点般落在了她的身上。
她在心里默祷：“把钱拿去吧，饶我一命。
”又过了几秒钟，她听到其中一位男子彬彬有礼地说：“夫人，您只要告诉我您要去几楼，我们来按按钮。
”说这话的人有点费力才把话说完，尽力忍住没有放声大笑。
7 这位女士抬起头望着这两位男乘客。
他们弯下腰，把她搀扶起来。

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)课文翻译Lesson 1 FriendshipFriendship is one of life's most important treasures. Friends bring us joy, support, and understanding. They are there for us in good times and bad, and they help us grow and become better individuals.In this lesson, we are introduced to the concept of friendship through the story of Damon and Pythias. Damon and Pythias were two loyal friends who lived in ancient Greece. When Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he was sentenced to death. However, Damon offered himself as a hostage so that Pythias could go home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius was skeptical of Damon's loyalty and gave him a deadline. If Pythias did not return by the appointed time, Damon would be executed in his place. Despite the risk, Pythias returned just in time to save his friend's life. The tyrant was so moved by their friendship that he released Pythias and allowed the two friends to continue their bond.The story of Damon and Pythias teaches us about the importance of loyalty and sacrifice in friendships. True friends are willing to go to great lengths to help and support each other. They are selfless and put the well-being of their friends above their own.Friendship is not only based on loyalty and sacrifice but also on trust and understanding. Friends should be able to confide in each other and know that their secrets are safe. They should also be able to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's difficult. When trust and understanding exist within a friendship, it becomes a safe haven where individuals can be themselves without fear of judgment.Lesson 2 SuccessSuccess means different things to different people. For some, success is measured by wealth and material possessions. For others, success is achieving personal goals and finding fulfillment in life.This lesson introduces us to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack, a poor boy, was given magic beans in exchange for his family's cow. These beans grew into a giant beanstalk that reached the sky. Jack bravely climbed the beanstalk and discovered a giant's castle where he found treasures and riches beyond imagination. Jack's journey represents the pursuit of success and the willingness to take risks.Success requires determination, hard work, and a positive mindset. It involves setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. Along the way, there may be obstacles and setbacks, but successful individuals persevere and stay focused on their objectives.Success is not solely measured by material wealth but also by personal growth and self-fulfillment. It's about finding happiness and contentment in one's achievements and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.课后答案Lesson 1 Friendship1.

大学英语综合教程2 课后答案Unit 1Comprehension1.They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schoolsin Nanjing.2.Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot ofthe key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3.They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do itproperly.4.Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasksin China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5.Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6.He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that one cansolve a problem effectively by oneself.7.He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational andartistic practices between China and the USA.8.The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guidinghis hand is characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9.One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animalsskillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old are producing excellent works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.10.Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge,and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11.This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance betweenthe poles of creativity and basic skills.Text Organization1.(1) The text begins with an anecdote.(2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and theWest.(3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.(1)C: show a child how to do something, or teach by holding the handA: teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems(2)C: give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing thatcreativity can be promoted over timeA: put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1) summarizing(2) value originality and independence(3) contrast between(4) in terms of(5) harbor(6) fearful(7) comparable(8) promote creativity(9) emerge(10) picked upVocabulary1.(1)insert(2)on occasion(3)investigate(4)In retrospect(5)initial(6)phenpmena(7)attached(8)make up for(9)is awaiting(10)not in the least(11)promote(12)emerged2.

If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem we areinvestigating.2.T o improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening andspeaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize ourexperience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit 2Comprehension1.The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.

全新版大学英语综合教程答案~~最最最最新版，符合书本篇章哦~~来源：江湉的日志Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/ContrastChinese Americans 1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to do something, or teach by holding teach children that they shouldrely on themselves for solutionshis hand to problems2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority to de-veloping skills at an early age,believing creativity can bepromoted over time put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up later1.

You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important.

As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

It is ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7 Learning about EnglishText A The Glorious Messiness of EnglishI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

Overall the whole thing has worked out quite satisfactorily.Unit 42.The first paragraph about the consequences of living a virtual life and the last tells about the author’s return to it. Together, they show us the dilemma people at present are in: Because of modern technology, we have a choice between a real life and virtual life, but we find both unsatisfactory.

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In its over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, and such borrowing has greatly enriched its vocabulary. As settlers landed in Americaand established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8VocabularyI. 1. 1. universal 2. current 3. worked his way 4. deny 5. melt 6. came through 7. threat8. combat 9. in the name of 1. raged 11. vote 12. concerns 13. in part 14. reality 15. urgent2.1.

In contrast, most educated people bind their own well-being to that of nature and try to preserve nature on the grounds of self-preservation. Though it may be difficult to distinguish a good proposal from a bad one in our current debate on environmental issues, one contemporary commentator has argued that protecting the environment in the name of man should be our guiding principle.。

Research has found that in an organization, our expectations of others can be tied directly to productivity, profitability, and yes－motivation! If you have high expectations of your employees, you will possess a powerful and effective tool for improving performance and motivation within your organization.Performance is often a matter of expectations. Managers and supervisors form expectations of others, which then influence how they interact with those people. If you don’t expect much from your employees, they will sense that and perform poorly. Why? Because your expectations of them affect their desire to do well. The point is that people naturally try to live up to our expectations of them, or live down to them, whatever the case may be. So expect the best from your employees and don’t be surprised if that’s exactly what you get!b.

Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks,the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just lookat them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks,tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So justlook at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.1.

You can't accomplish yourgoal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2)The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. Fromwhat she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. Shehas just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art representtwo extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected toeffectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the otherhand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totallyunstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guidedapproach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approachcombines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot expressyourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.U2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believethat English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: theIndo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。
