新视野大学英语课文翻译第四册Unit 1TextA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。

新视野大学英语读写教程4（第三版）课后翻译Unit1亚里斯多德是一位古希腊哲学家和科学家。

他相信所有人的观念和知识最终都基于感知。

他对自然科学的观点为他的许多作品奠定了基础。

他为那个时代的人类知识的几乎每个领域做出了贡献。

他的作品包含最早的形式逻辑学研究，直到今天，亚里斯多德哲学的各个方面仍然继续是学术研究的重要课题。

他的哲学对所有西方哲学理论的发展都产生了深远的影响。

亚里斯多德（Aristotle）逝世2300多年后，他仍然是最有影响力的哲学家和科学家之一。

Doctrine of the Mean is the core content of Confucianism. Confucius's so-called "middle" does not mean "compromise", but refers to a "moderate" and "appropriate" method when recognizing and dealing with objective things. Confucius advocated not only to treat this kind of thinking as a way of understanding and handling things, but also to integrate it into one's daily behavior through self-cultivation and exercise, making it a virtue. The golden mean is the core of Confucianism and an important part of Chinese traditional culture. From its formation to the present, it has played an inestimable role in the construction of national spirit, the spread of national wisdom, and the development of national culture.Unit2莎士比亚（William Shakespeare）被广泛认为是英语界最伟大的作家，也是世界上杰出的戏剧家。

Unit1Section A课文翻译爱情与逻辑：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。
