Lesson11.The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries thatthey are nobody is not easy.It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2.Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against thelong night of physical slavery.If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3.The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being andsigns with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when he/she is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4.Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is powercorrecting everything that stands against love.Power in the best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5.At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability andtalents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made (or how wealthy he was).6.…the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of rightand wrong.7.It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster, or byanimal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, because they are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8.…when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.…when the unfair practice of judging human value by the amount of money a person has is done away with.9.He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door tothe meaning of ultimate reality.Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10.Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and ananemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practice as racial discrimination.Lesson 11. A white lie is better than a black lie.一个无关紧要的谎言总比一个恶意的谎言要好。

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and valuesare no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41.

现代大学英语V-4译文及练习答案女性的职业弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫l.你们的秘书邀请我时对我说你们妇女服务团关注的是女性就业问题,她提议我讲一讲我就业的亲身体验。
我是女性,这是事实;我有工作,这也是事实。
但我又有什么职业体验呢?这很难讲。
我从事的是文学职业,与其他职业相比,当然不包括戏剧行业,在文学职业里几乎没有什么女性体验,我的意思是几乎没有女性特有的体验。
多年前,路已开辟出来。
许多知名的女性---范妮·伯尼、阿芙拉.贝恩、哈丽雅特·马蒂诺、简·奥斯汀、乔治·艾略特---和许多不知名以及已被人忘记的女性在我之前铺平了道路并指导我向前走。
因此,在我从事写作时,几乎没有物质障碍。
写作这个职业既受人尊敬又没有危险。
写字的沙沙声不会打破家庭的和平,写作也不需要什么家庭开销。
花16便士买的纸足够用来写莎士比亚的所有戏剧---要是你有那样的才智的话。
作家不需要钢琴和模特,不用去巴黎、维也纳和柏林,也不需要家庭教师。
当然,廉价的写作用纸是女性作为作家成功而先于其他职业的原因。
2.我讲讲我的故事,那只是个平常的故事。
你们自己设想一个姑娘,手里握着一支笔坐在卧室里。
从十点钟到一点钟她只是不停地由左向右写,然后她想到做一件既省钱又省力的事---把那些纸张放进信封,在信封的一角贴上一张一便士的邮票,把信封投进拐角的一个红色邮筒。
我就是这样成了一名撰稿人。
我的努力在下个月的第一天得到了回报---_那是我一生中非常快乐的一天。
我收到了编辑寄来的一封信,里面装有一张一英镑十先令六便士的支票。
为了让你们了解我不值得被称作职业女性,对人生的艰难和奋斗知之甚少,我得承认我没用那笔钱买食物、付房租、买袜子和肉,而是出去买了一只猫,一只漂亮的波斯猫,这只猫不久就引起了我和邻居间的激烈争端。
3.什么会比写文章并用赚得的钱买波斯猫来得更容易?但再想一想,文章得有内容。
我好像记得我的文章是评论一部名人写的小说。

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and valuesare no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4. In modern society, clothing styles change yearly. Some are in this year but will be out the next.5.

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and valuesare no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4. In modern society, clothing styles change yearly. Some are in this year but will be out the next.5. More likely than not, what this “new” parenting idea brings about will be “super problems” rather than “super kids”.6. Young people should be given the opportunity to take the initiative, to take responsibility for their mistakes and credit for their achievements.7. In my view, he is so weak-willed that he could hardly give up smoking. To my surprise, he has easily cured himself of this bad habit.8. Demands on students have to be tailored to their interests and abilities.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have。
UNIT 1✧掌握大量的词对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。
To master a large vocabulary is crucial to the fluency in a foreign language.✧一个非官方的但却是经常被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试的数字表明,词汇量少于三千五百词的学生不大可能在这项考试中成功。
It is showed by the statistics which are unofficial but frequently quoted concerning the Cambridge First Certificate examination that those students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are less likely to succeed in the exam.✧最近的研究也表明,其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少认识一万六千个英语词。
The latest research also indicates that native speaker of English knows at least 16,000 English words, when he has received education until he’s 18 or more.除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言,要获得大的英语词汇量是没有捷径可走的:你就得依靠勤奋和专注。
Unless you are proficient in a language such as Spanish or German, there is no shortcut to a large vocabulary: you have to depend on diligence and dedication.当然,你可以从上下文猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思,但往往你得查词典才能搞清它们的确切意思。
一番说教也许老师比学生更容易理解,为什么学生在掌握了英语基本结构和句型后英语学习反而变得越来越困难了。
学生们自然感到惊奇并失望地发现本来应该变得越来越容易的学习过程却完全不是那么回事。
学生们并不感到多少安慰,在知道老师在其努力所产生的效果似乎不及一开始明显也会灰心丧气。
他发现那些学生很容易去教,为他们能把所学的知识很快的用于实践。
可现在,他们却面对前阶段中从未学过的大量生词,惯用法显得踌躇不前。
他看到学生们在艰难地努力着,因为他们以前认为已经认识的语言现在似乎充满了令人头昏眼花的成语,陈旧用语以及在不同上下文中有不同含义的惯用词组。
要想让他们相信他们仍朝着精通的方向发展,他们英语就一定提高是很困难的。
并且,只要肯花时间和持之以恒。
有些学生在此情况下厌恶地放弃了学习,这并不出人意外;同时,另一些学生仍然充满希望地盼着老师象开始时那样给他们以满怀信心的指导。
从教师这方面看,由于往往不得不去讲解一些无法说清楚的东西,他常常会对同事们引用一些谚语权充台阶,比如:你能牵马河边走,马不饮水你自愁,或说得比较尊重对方但语法并不严谨:倒不在乎说什么,关键瞧您怎么说。
他的学生则会反唇相讥道:我越学越糊涂。
事实当然并非如此。
师生们正体验着一种共识,即学习中遇到的较复杂的语言结构在表达思想中并非至关重要,因此也就少有可能立刻派上用场。
出于同样的理由,在老师看来,恰当地选择教材变得更困难了。
任选一种食品比从品种繁多的菜单上单挑一道在某个特定日子里你想吃的菜要容易多了。
界定问题易于找出答案。
你可建议学生去讲英语的国家住两三年,这等于撒手不管他们。
没有几个学生陪得起时间花得起钱。
常言道:广泛阅读是最佳替代办法,但读书也应有所选择。
让学生走进图书馆随便拿起他们遇到的第一本书就读,这是无用的。
我会这样劝他们;读无需查字典就懂的书(但并非过眼即懂的书),读你感兴趣的书;读时间允许的书(杂志和报纸,而不是长篇小说,除非你能在一周左右读完它);读现在写的文章,而不是二百年前的文章;读得尽量多一些,并尽量记住写作方法,而不要拘泥于令你困惑的个别单词。

Paragraph Analysis: The Outline(Paras.3-6) We are losing this fifth freedom through three misunderstanding(Paras.4)A.

The third misunderstanding is that of ultimate values.These values have been denied in recent teacher education.The inevitable result in mass selfishness is already evident.(Paras.7-9)IV.To assure our children the freedom to develop, we must challenge their abilities.(Paras.7)A.We can give them a demanding curriculum.Michelangelo did not learn to paint by doodling.Mozart did not become a pianist by watching television.They, like Eve Curie and Helen Keller, were challenged by disciplined training.(Paras.8)B.We can give them the right to failure.We must not give high school diplomas without regard to merit.We must be realistic about failure to meet standards and must teach our children realism.(Paras.9) C.We can give them the best values we know.We can show them what history has taught us to be true.These truths may inspire us to make a “ringing message”that could mean true freedom for them.IV.

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you comeacross in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and values are no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “I have failed three times”and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4. In modern society, clothing styles change yearly. Some are in this year but will be out the next.5. More likely than not, what this “new”parenting idea brings about will be “super problems”rather than “super kids”.6. Young people should be given the opportunity to take the initiative, to take responsibility for their mistakes and credit for their achievements.7. In my view, he is so weak-willed that he could hardly give up smoking. To my surprise, he has easily cured himself of this bad habit.8. Demands on students have to be tailored to their interests and abilities.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative imagination. Indeed a leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. Scientists are also noted for their honesty. They place a high premium on honesty largely because it is essential to their career. Every theory they formulate is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore if any evidence is found contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way they have built up an immense body of knowledge, which helps us to understand better ourselves and the world around us.Unit 6One day, we received an invitation to my father’s birthday party. Jenny thought my father was reaching out to me for a reconciliation and we should accept the invitation. I was in the midst of abstracting an important case and in the virtual shadow of exams, so I just。
Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English; you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。
一个非官方的但却是经常被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试(Cambridge First Certificate examination)的数字表明,词汇量少于三千五百词的学生不大可能在这项考试中成功。
最近的研究也表明,其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少认识一万六千个英语词。
除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言,要获得大的英语词汇量是没有捷径可走的:你就得依靠勤奋和专注。
当然,你可以从上下文猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思,但往往你得查词典才能搞清楚它们的确切意思。
一个切实可行的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读,最好是读那些你觉得有趣或刺激的故事。
反复阅读同一本书常常是很有好处的:你每读一次都会学到不同的生词,而熟悉的背景又有助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你的脑海中。

There is a world of difference between “I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime-at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes ever better.如果你着手干一番事业而失败了,不要丧失信心。
