全新版大学英语综合教程3课文翻译第一单元:生活方式的改变.售姆·多尔蒂有两件事是我一直想做的——写作与务农。

如今我同时做着这两件事。

作为作家，我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级，作为农场主，我和乡邻也不是同一类人，不过我应付得还行。

在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。

这是一种自力更生的生活。

我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。

自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩余几十个出售。

自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动手砍柴，足可供过冬取暖之用。

这也是一种令人满足的生活。

夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。

冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。

我们为落日的余辉而激动。

我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。

我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。

但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。

就在三个月前，气温降到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。

再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。

前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。

过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。

这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。

我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。

从12月一直到3月底，我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。

暴风雪肆虐，一场接着一场，积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓，而室内，我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖，吃着自家种植的苹果，温馨快乐每一分钟。

开春后，有过两次泛滥。

一次是河水外溢，我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。

接着一次是生长季节到了，一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来，弄得我们应接不暇。

我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。

接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆满一罐罐的腌渍食品，有番茄汁、葡萄汁、李子、果酱和果冻。

Unit 3 Active readingVincent van Gogh1 Between November of 1881 and July of 1890, V incent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings, but never achieved fame. Y et since his death, he has become one of the most celebrated painters in the world.2 The two most important but apparently independent features about van Gogh which most people know about are his spectacular, almost explosive, use of colour and the poor state of his mental health, which brought his life to a sad end.3 Y et, according to medical resear ch since van Gogh’s death, it now seems that these two features may be linked, and that his mental health may have contributed to his artistic style, not just at the end of his life, but at earlier times as well.4 V an Gogh was born in Holland in 1853, and his early career working for an international art dealer took him to London, Paris and Belgium. When he decided to become a painter in 1880 with the support of his brother Theo, his early work was, not surprisingly, filled with the gloomy light of Northern Europe.5 In Paris van Gogh met many of the artists later known as Impressionists, such as Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro and Gauguin. His style changed under their influence, and became lighter and brighter. He used small strokes of primary colours (red, blue and yellow) and complementary colours (purple, orange and green). He was also sensitive to the more abstract style of Gauguin’s paintings, where shapes of objects are represented by distinct zones of colour.6 Y et despite working in such an enco uraging atmosphere, van Gogh could not equal his friends’ growing success. He was unable to pay for models, and so he painted a large number of self-portraits, which may indicate his potential for soul searching.7 V an Gogh soon grew discouraged with his life in Paris, and moved to Arles in the south of France, where, drawn by the sunshine, he hoped to establish an artists’ community. He felt liberated by the people, the buildings and the scenery there, and painted them with vivid, passionate colours and a cheerfulness which was new to him and his career. He was keen for Gauguin to visit him, and finally persuaded him to make the journey. The paintings of Sunflowers and his home were partly intended as a welcome to Gauguin, partly a reflection of his happiness. But because of the intensity of van Gogh’s friendship for him and hostile disagreements about their working methods, Gauguin left Arles. At this event, van Gogh cut off part of his own right ear.8 V an Gogh spent several desperate periods in a mental hospital over the next two years because of his depression and his concern that he had heard voices. His style became more experimental, with stronger lines and sharper colours, always dominated by the green of the olive trees, the blue of the sky and the spectacular yellow of the sun. This was the period of his greatest output and some success, with the famous The Starry Night and other paintings being well-received by critics at the annual exhibition in Paris.9 But these very productive periods were matched by moments when despair prevailed, during which he doubted his ability to create a work of value. In a delicate state of mind, van Gogh returned to a friend near Paris and continued his work. In 1890 he shot himself, taking two days to die.10 So what is the link between his love of intense colour and his destructive mental state?11 We now know more about mental and physical illness, and their effects. V an Gogh suffered from epilepsy, an illness which leads to fits, and which may have been caused by a defect in the brain at birth. This was made worse by drinking absinthe, a popular but dangerous alcohol often drunk by artists at the time. His doctor prescribed a drug which can cause the patient to see everything in yellow or to see yellow spots. This may have been why van Goghloved the colour.12 V an Gogh experienced a surge of activity, after which he became tired and depressed. We now recognize these to be symptoms of bipolar disorder. He also used lead-based paints, exposure to which can lead to lead poisoning. One of the symptoms of lead poisoning is a swelling of the retinas in the eyes, which can cause one to see light in circles around objects. We can see this effect in paintings such as The Starry Night.13 Another condition linked to epilepsy and manic behaviour is the spontaneous need to write continuously. V an Gogh wrote over 800 letters to his brother, Theo, which might be the result of this condition.14 V an Gogh wanted his paintings to be realistic, so he worked outdoors. Some of the episodes of aggressiveness and feeling sick may be the effects of sunstroke.15 Finally, hearing voices is a well-established symptom of schizophrenia, a serious mental illness which changes the relationship between what you think and reality.16 We talk about the genius necessary to produce great works of art. In van Gogh’s case, his genius, especially in his use of colour, may be due to his mental health. As art lovers, we acknowledge that van Gogh produced some of the greatest paintings the world has ever known, and gave inspiration to so many later artists. But we should not overlook the mental torture he suffered for his art.文森特·凡·高1 在1881年11月至1890年7月之间，文森特·凡·高大约画了900幅画，却没有成名。

新标准大学英语综合教程3 unit3 课文翻译Unit3Active reading 1我们是怎样听音乐的我们都按照各自不同的能力来听音乐。

但为了便于分析，如果把听的整个过程分成几个组成部分，那么这个过程会更清晰一些。

从某种意义上来说，我们听音乐有三个不同的层次。

由于缺乏更好的术语，我们姑且把它们命名为：（1）感官层次；（2）表现层次；（3）纯音乐层次。

把听的过程机械地分割为以上三个假想的层次，唯一的好处是让我们更清楚地了解自己是怎样听音乐的。

听音乐最简单的方式是为了去获取乐声带来的纯粹的愉悦感，这是音乐的感官层次。

在这个层次上，我们只是听音乐，不做任何思考。

我们打开收音机，一边做着其他的事情，一边心不在焉地沉浸在音乐中。

乐声本身的魅力带我们进入一种无需思考的美妙心境。

令人意外的是，许多自认为是合格的音乐爱好者在听音乐时过多地使用了这一层次。

他们去听音乐会是为了忘却自我。

他们把音乐当成一种慰藉，一种逃避，由此他们进入了一个可以忘却日常生活的理想世界。

当然，他们也没有在思考音乐。

音乐允许他们离开现实，到另一个地方去做梦，因为音乐而做梦，做有关音乐的梦，却从没有真正欣赏过音乐。

的确，乐声的魅力是一种强大而原始的力量，但是你不该让它占据你过多的兴趣空间。

感官层次是音乐的一个重要层次，非常重要，但并不是音乐的全部。

音乐存在的第二个层次就是我所说的表现层次。

一提到这个问题，我们马上就进入到一个颇具争议的领域。

作曲家总是设法避开有关音乐表现方面的讨论。

斯特拉温斯基不是曾经声称他的音乐是一个“物体”，是一件有自我生命的“东西”，除了纯音乐性的存在之外没有任何别的含意吗？斯特拉温斯基这种不妥协的态度可能源于这样的一个事实：有那么多的人尝试着从众多的音乐作品中读出完全不同的含意。

确实，要准确地说出一部音乐作品的含意已经很难了，要肯定并确定地说出来，还要使每个人对你的解释都感到满意，是难上加难。

但我们不该因此走到另一个极端，不能去剥夺音乐“表现”的权利。

单词彩色The days of my futureMy future will be happy. I already graduated at that time from the university. I will have a stable work.I will have my family, my husband,and a lovely child. What will be my future job?我未来的日子我的未来是美好的。

我已经毕业，从大学的时间。

我将有一个稳定的工作。

我将有我的家人，我的丈夫，和一个可爱的孩子。

什么将是我将来的工作？I have many ideals. I want to work as a singer, stands on the stage sings for the people;I want to work as a nurse, cure illness, brings the health for the people; I want to work as a pilot, drives the airplane in the blue sky;我有很多理想。

我想当一名歌手，站在舞台上唱的人；我想当一名护士，治疗疾病，给人们带来健康；我想当一名飞行员，在蔚蓝的天空中飞机驱动；I want to work as a gardener, with a little bit sweat irrigation flowers, lets our life forever fill the green. After growing up.I want to ba a teacher.I will have many students.Every day I will give many classes to them. I will become a teacher who is always preparing my lessons.I can certainly be a good teacher in the future我想做一个园丁，带一点汗灌溉的花朵，让我们的生活永远充满绿色。
