沉睡谷传奇1 有个山谷名叫沉睡谷,深藏于纽约州的崇山峻岭之间。

关于这个沉静的山谷流传着很多故事,不过人们最相信的莫过于无头骑士鬼魂的故事了。

故事说,很久以前,这个人在美国独立战争中牺牲,据说他的头被炸掉了。

人们看见他在幽暗的夜色中匆匆前行,寻找他失去的头颅。

2 沉睡谷附近有个村庄叫达里镇。

村里有所小学,学校里有位老师叫伊卡博德?鹤。

伊卡博德?鹤这个名字很适合他,因为他又高又瘦,就像一只鹤,瘦小的肩膀上连着两只长长的手臂。

他的头也小小的,头顶平平的,还有一对大耳朵,两只大而无神的绿眼睛和一个长长的鼻子。

3 作为一个老师,伊卡博德收入十分有限。

他虽长得瘦高,吃起饭来可不含糊,饭量跟一个大胖子不相上下。

为了能多赚点钱填饱肚子,他又兼职教年轻人唱歌。

4 伊卡博德教的女孩子当中有个叫卡特里娜? 范塔苏的。

她是一位荷兰富农的独生女,正值十八岁的花季,像鹌鹑一样丰满,成熟而柔美,脸色红润,就像她父亲种的桃子一样。

伊卡博德对女人总是有一颗柔软而痴傻的心,很快,他便意识到自己对范塔苏小姐的爱慕之情。

5 但是要走进卡特里娜的心里有重重障碍。

其中有一个叫布罗姆?范布伦特的年轻人,他身强体壮,是所有年轻女孩心中的英雄。

他肩膀宽阔,身体柔韧,一头卷曲的黑色短发,配着一张粗犷但并不让人讨厌的脸庞。

村里的赛马比赛他总是赢家,赢得了许多奖项。

而且,布罗姆总是骑着马。

伊卡博德要赢得卡特里娜的心,必须打败这样一个敌人。

6 稍微强壮、聪明的男人都会知难而退,但是伊卡博德有自己的计划。

他无法公开和敌人决斗,所以他悄悄地、秘密地进行。

他经常拜访卡特里娜家的农庄,使她认为他是在帮助她提高唱歌水平。

7 时间流逝,村里的人都认为伊卡博德将赢得这场竞争。

星期天晚上再也看不到布罗姆的马出现在卡特里娜家。

8 到了秋天,一天伊卡博德受邀到范塔苏家参加一个盛大的派对。

他穿上他最好的衣服。

因为去参加派对要走很远的路,一位农夫借给他一匹老马。

9 布罗姆?范布伦特骑着他那匹跑得最快的名为“鬼见愁”的马来到派对。

大学英语第四册的课文翻译Unit 1 名气之尾艺术家追求成名，如同狗自逐其尾，一旦追到手，除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。

成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。

对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家，其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢！”他们的担心不无道理。

追求出人头地，最乐观地说也困难重重，许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒，也是几近精神崩溃。

尽管如此，希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。

享受成功的无上光荣，这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。

成名者之所以成名，大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长，并能形成自己的风格。

为了能迅速走红，代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。

他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。

他们究竟是怎么成功的，大多数人也都说不上来。

尽管如此，艺术家仍然不能闲下来。

若表演者、画家或作家感到无聊，他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力，也就难以保持公众的注意力。

公众的热情消磨以后，就会去追捧下一个走红的人。

有些艺术家为了不落伍，会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动，但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。

公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。

知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来，如田纳西?威廉斯的戏剧、欧内斯特?海明威的情节安排、罗伯特?弗罗斯特或T.S.艾略特的诗歌等。

同样，像莫奈、雷诺阿、达利这样的画家，希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。

他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革，这让他们名利双收，但也让他们付出了代价，那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。

名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。

骗局很快会被揭穿，过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。

它让你失去自我。

你必须是公众认可的那个你，而不是真实的你或是可能的你。

艺人，就像政客一样，必须常常说些违心或连自己都不完全相信的话来取悦听众。

课文一：The Tail of FameAn artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction＂Don't quit your day job!＂ is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc They develop a style that agents market aggressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur Most would be hardpressed to tell you how theyeven got there Artists cannot remain idle, though When the performer, painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing,run a significant risk of losing the audience's favor The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famousFamous authors' styles—such as Jane Austen's or Ernest Hemingway's—are easily recognizable The same is true of painters like Monet or Picasso The distinctive style of an artist, however, can become a trademark Whenthat happens, the artist becomes confined to that style If an artist is talented but not unique, fame will be fleeting Even if an artist possesses a unique style, fame is not guaranteed The market for art is fickle The public's appetite for a new style is insatiable The artist, like the politician, must often please the public in order to remain popular翻译：名声之尾追求名声的艺术家就像一只追着自己尾巴跑的狗，一旦抓住了尾巴，除了继续追着跑之外，不知道还能做什么。

Old Father Time Becomes a TerrorRichard Tomkins1 Once upon a time，technology，we thought，would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us，leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure.时间老人成了可怕的老人理查德·汤姆金斯从前,我们以为技术发展会使我们的生活变得更安逸。

那时我们觉得机器会替代我们工作,我们则有越来越多的时间休闲娱乐。

2 But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate：as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium。

And as each invention arrives，it eats further into our time.但技术发展没有把我们解放出来,而是使我们成为奴隶.新技术纷至沓来,令人目不暇接：一年涌现的技术创新相当于以前一千年。

而每一项新发明问世,就进一步吞噬我们的光阴。

3 The motorcar，for example，promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility。

But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horse—drawn carriage，and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams。

Unit5Some people seem easy to understand: their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive.有些人似乎容易了解：他们的个性在初次交往时就表露无遗。

然而，外表可能具有欺骗性。

A Friend in NeedSomerset Maugham1 For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I do not know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.患难之交萨默塞特·毛姆三十年来，我一直研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。

每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。

我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。

拿我自己来说，我发现，认识一个人的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。

2 These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action. It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type. Here if ever was a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes. I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.我产生这些想法，是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。

Unit1 爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事1 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后，我和波莉有了第一次约会。

那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克，而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的，他一想到这个就受不了，于是他和我达成了一项协议，用他的女友换取我的夹克。

他可不那么聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。

2 但她漂亮而且富有，也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。

她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。

如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。

3 “光彩照人”，她已经是了。

而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。

4 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。

我的想法有些怪异。

而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。

我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。

“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。

5 “逻辑学。

”6 “好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。

7 “逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。

逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。

我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。

”8 “好啊，”她表示同意。

9 “‘绝对判断’是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。

比方说：运动是有益的，所以每个人都应该运动。

”10 她点头表示赞同。

11 我看得出她没弄明白。

“波莉，”我解释说，“这个推断太过简单化了。

如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的，运动就变得有害而不是有益。

所以你应该说，运动对大多数人来说是有益的。

”12 “接下来是‘草率结论’。

这似乎不言自明，对吧？仔细听好了：你不会说法语，罗伯也不会说法语，那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。

”13 “是吗？”波莉吃惊地说。

“没有人吗？”14 “这也是一种逻辑谬误，”我说，“这一结论太草率了，因为能够支持这一结论的例证太少了。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: EducationText A: Is College the Best Option?大学是否是最佳选择？Part I: Text A in EnglishText A: Is College the Best Option?Nowadays, the decision to attend college or not is a topic of much debate. With the rising cost of tuition and the uncertainty of job prospects after graduation, many people are questioning whether college is truly the best option.On one hand, a college education has obvious benefits. It provides individuals with the opportunity to gain knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and broaden their horizons. College also offers networking opportunities and the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds, which can be valuable in the professional world. Additionally, many employers still consider a college degree as a minimum requirement for job applicants.On the other hand, the cost of college has skyrocketed in recent years. Tuition fees, accommodation expenses, and textbooks can easily accumulate into a significant financial burden. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a college degree will lead to a well-paying job. In today's competitive jobmarket, having a degree no longer guarantees a successful career. Many college graduates find themselves underemployed or in jobs that don't align with their educational background.Furthermore, alternative pathways such as vocational schools, apprenticeships, or entrepreneurship have proven to be successful for many individuals. These options often provide practical, hands-on training and immediate job placement. For those who have a clear career goal and are willing to put in the effort, skipping college and pursuing alternative paths can lead to quicker entry into the workforce and potential financial success.In conclusion, the decision to attend college or pursue alternative paths depends on individual circumstances and goals. While a college education offers numerous benefits, it is necessary to carefully consider the financial costs and job prospects in today's economy. Ultimately, success in any field requires a combination of education, skills, and determination, regardless of whether one obtains a college degree or not.Part II: Text A in Chinese (课文A：大学是否是最佳选择？)如今，是否上大学成为了一个备受争议的话题。

课文A参考译文Unit 1冰雪卫士——奈拉？B?史密斯人们常说骄兵必败。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒来说吧，他们取得的一个又一个的胜利让他们相信自己战无不胜，没有什么可以阻挡他们，但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士会证明他们是错的。

1 1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑?波拿巴率领大军进入俄罗斯。

他为面对俄罗斯人民保卫家园而要进行的坚决抵抗做好了准备。

他想到了要经过长途跋涉才能到达俄罗斯的首都莫斯科，为此也做好了准备。

但他没有为在莫斯科会遭遇到的劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷刺骨的寒冬——做好准备。

2 1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫?希特勒对当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯发起了进攻。

希特勒的军事力量无可匹敌。

他的战争机器扫除了欧洲大部分地区的抵抗。

希特勒希望在最短的时间内结束战斗，但是，就像他的前人拿破仑一样，他得到了惨痛的教训。

俄罗斯的冬天又一次帮助了苏维埃士兵。

拿破仑发起的战役3 1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境集结60万大军。

这些士兵都训练有素，有很强的作战能力，而且都有精良的装备。

这支军队被称为“大军”。

拿破仑对迅速胜利充满信心，预言要用5个星期攻下俄国。

4 不久，拿破仑的大军经过涅曼河进入俄国。

拿破仑所期盼的迅速、决定性的胜利并没有出现。

令他吃惊的是，俄国人并没有反抗。

相反，他们一路向东撤退，沿途焚毁庄稼和房屋。

“大军”紧追不舍，但它的前进很快由于后勤补给缓慢而停顿下来。

5 到了8月，法军和俄军在斯摩棱斯克开火，在这次战役中，双方各有上万人死在战场上。

可是，俄国军队又能继续向自己领土的纵深撤退。

拿破仑并没有取得决定性的胜利。

此刻他面临着一个生死攸关的抉择：是继续追击俄军，还是为了度过即将来临的冬天而把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克呢？6 拿破仑决定冒险向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。

1812年9月7日，法俄两军在鲍罗季诺展开激烈的战斗，此地在莫斯科以西112公里外。

夜幕降临时，法军和俄军分别有3万和4.4万名士兵的死伤。

7 俄国军队再次撤退到安全的地方。

大学英语精读4课文翻译Unit 4 Text A《西北雪谷》冰纷飞，水喧喧，我步入西北雪谷，雪致众山白，森森北极寒。

美妙西北，莘莘花草间，冰雪林泉中，倏然一夏凉。

愿作白衣士，宇宙星河间，山水流芳中，披荆斩棘难。

不负美景需努力，水滴石穿有伤难。

极寒之地令我颤，早已听闻故乡消息乐安然。

阳光下，冰雪焕然，我周游西北雪谷，踏上美景之旅，心意永不谢。

Unit 4 Text B《旅行》朝阳初升，一天开始。

我提起旅行箱，背上旅行袋。

目的地是远方，旅途并不容易。

坐着火车，坐着飞机，穿行在城市之间。

和陌生人握手，交谈，分享故事。

万里路途间，欢笑和泪水并存。

别离之际，回忆犹在眼前。

旅行让我见到世界之美，也让我体验生活之真。

Unit 4 Text C《克服恐惧》勇敢面对内心的恐惧，这是我所学习的一课。

那天，我遭遇恶劣天气，滂沱大雨打湿了我的衣服，泥泞的小路泼在了我身上。

我曾经胆怯，畏惧自己前进的脚步，内心中有个声音在不断告诉我：“放弃吧，这太难了。

”但我不断劝告自己，告诉自己：“要勇敢，坚持下去。

”就这样，我迈开了我的脚步，坚定地走在前方。

路途中有风暴的降临，我不害怕，因为我知道，困难只是暂时的。

我看到了大海的浩瀚，我看到了天空的广阔，我看到了自己的勇敢和坚韧。

无论遇到什么困难，无论面对怎样的挑战，我都要勇敢地面对，直到我成功的那一刻。

Unit 4 Text D《友谊》友谊，是我宝贵的财富。

它是我人生的一束光，给予我力量和勇气。

友谊，是彼此的理解和关怀，是彼此的依靠和支持。

友谊，是无声的承诺，是永远的陪伴。

在我最困难的时候，友谊是我的依靠。

在我最快乐的时候，友谊是我的分享。

友谊，是一种奇妙的感觉，让我感受到温暖和幸福。

无论是朋友还是挚友，友谊让我们相互舒心。

Unit 4 Text E《过去与现在》时间如白驹过隙，过去的岁月已成记忆。

在那些年里，我们一起嬉戏，一起成长。

我们一起追逐，在阳光下奔跑，我们一起分享，在月光下倾诉。

The credit card trap1 I have a confession. Several years ago, I was standing in a queue to collect some theatre tickets for my family, and my friend was doing the same for hers. I got mine, and paid for them by credit card, feeling contented by the convenience of this cash- free transaction. It was then her turn to pay. The whole operation passed as smoothly as mine, but my delight soon turned to abject shame. My credit card was a fairly pathetic, status-free dark blue, whereas hers was a 11. 有一件事我得坦白。

几年前，我排队为家人取戏票时，我的朋友也在为她的家人取票。

我拿到了票，用信用卡付了账，对这种非现金交易的便利感到很满意。

然后就轮到她付款了，整个交易也进行得同样顺利，但我的高兴劲儿很快就变成了莫大的羞耻：我的信用卡太寒酸了，是不显示身份地位的深蓝色卡，而她的信用卡则是高级的金卡。

very exclusive gold one.2 How did she do this? How could this be? I knew I earned more than her, my car was newer, and my house was smarter. How did she get to appear more flash than me?3 Now, I had a job which was as steady as any job was in those days –that’s to say, not very, but you know, no complaints. I had a mortgage on my house, but then who didn’t? I paid off all my credit debt at the end of the month, so although technically, I was in debt to the credit card company, it was only for a matter of a few weeks. So I assumed I had a good credit rating.2她是怎样弄到金卡的？怎么会这样呢？我知道我挣得比她多，我的车比她的车新，我的家比她的家漂亮，她怎么看起来显得比我光鲜呢？3我有一份跟那时候任何工作相比还算安定的工作——虽然不是非常安定，不过我也没什么可抱怨的。

As the summer break comes to a close and students across the country prepare for the start of a new term, you find that your graduate son is still spending his days slumped in front of the television, broken only by texting, Facebook and visits to the pub.

Maia Szalavitz 1 After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend's Liverpool accent suddenly becomes impossible to interpret after his easily understood words on screen; a secretary's clipped tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid -- hours become minutes, or seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.虚拟世界的生活迈亚·塞拉维茨在网上呆了太久，听到电话铃声也会吓一大跳。

信用卡陷阱有一件事我得‎坦白。

几年前，我排队为家人‎取戏票时，我的朋友也在‎为她的家人取‎票。

我拿到了票，用信用卡付了‎账，对这种非现金‎交易的便利感‎到很满意。

然后就轮到她‎付款了，整个交易也进‎行得同样顺利‎，但我的高兴劲‎儿很快就变成‎了莫大的羞耻‎：我的信用卡太‎寒酸了，是不显示身份‎地位的深蓝色‎卡，而她的信用卡‎则是高级的金‎卡。

她是怎样弄到‎金卡的？怎么会这样呢‎？我知道我挣得‎比她多，我的车比她的‎车新，我的家比她的‎家漂亮，她怎么看起来‎显得比我光鲜‎呢？我有一份跟那‎时候任何工作‎相比还算安定‎的工作——虽然不是非常‎安定，不过我也没什‎么可抱怨的。

我是通过按揭‎贷款买的房子‎，可那会儿谁买‎房不贷款呢？我每个月底都‎付清信用卡欠‎款。

所以，虽然从技术上‎讲，我欠过信用卡‎公司的钱，但只是欠几个‎星期而已。

所以我认为我‎的信用等级应‎该很高。

你可以说我肤‎浅，而我也并不感‎到自豪。

但就在当时当‎地，我突然非常嫉‎妒那位朋友，我决定不要蓝‎色信用卡了，我要一张金卡‎。

金卡突然变得‎不可或缺，它会让我自我‎感觉良好，会让别人觉得‎我更有魅力。

于是，我去信用卡公‎司申请最特别‎、最耀眼的金卡‎。

可是，我的申请被拒‎绝了。

过了几秒钟，我才从这个打‎击中回过神来‎，我问自己为什‎么被拒绝。

显然，因为我每次都‎按时全额付清‎信用卡欠款，所以我不是他‎们想要的那种‎金卡客户。

他们的目标客‎户是那些随时‎有购物刷卡的‎冲动、有潜在信用风‎险、经不住诱惑超‎支消费、并且经常延期‎还款的人。

这样他们才有‎机会收取更多‎的利息，挣更多的钱，这就是他们的‎经营之道。

这能够解释为‎什么信用卡公‎司会用超低利‎率诱惑像我们‎家孩子那样的‎穷大学生吗？三个星期前，我的二女儿回‎家过周末。

她在读大一第‎二学期。

和她的大多数‎朋友一样，她借了3,000英镑的‎学生贷款，并从她可怜的‎妈妈（哈！）那里得到一笔‎小小的生活费‎，用于支付交通‎费、书费及其他生‎活费用。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1 Living and LearningText AWomen and TraditionIn the remote mountain villages of southwest China, it seems that time has stood still for centuries. The traditional way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation remains untouched by the modern world. Here, women are the family organizers, responsible for farming and family matters.Women plant and harvest crops, take care of livestock, cook for their families, and raise children. They are the pillars of their communities, responsible for preserving their cultural traditions. Despite the heavy workload, women in these villages take pride in their roles.Traditional gender roles in these communities paint a stark contrast to the modern world. However, as China rapidly develops, there is an evident shift happening. Young women are drifting away from their traditional roles, pursuing careers and education in larger cities. This shift has both positive and negative implications for these rural communities.On the one hand, women have more opportunities for personal growth and economic independence. By pursuing education and employment outside their villages, they can experience a different way of life and contribute to their families' financial stability. This newfound freedomallows women to break free from traditional constraints and explore their full potential.On the other hand, the departure of young women from these villages also means a loss of resources and skills. With fewer women available to handle the farming and household tasks, the burden falls heavily on the older generation. The young women who leave often find it hard to return due to the lack of job opportunities and limited access to modern amenities in their home villages.In conclusion, the traditional roles of women in remote Chinese villages are slowly changing as modernization takes over. While women now have more choices and freedom, this shift also brings challenges for the communities they leave behind. Balancing tradition and progress is a delicate task, and finding ways to preserve cultural heritage while embracing modernity is crucial.Unit 2 EducationText AA Day in the Life of a College StudentCollege life is an exciting and transformative period.
