现代大学英语精读1 UNIT5 The Nightingale and the Rose 课文翻译

Unit5The-Nightingale-and-the-Rose原文及翻译The Nightingale and the RoseOscar Wilde "She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses,"cried the young Student; "but in all my garden there is no red rose."From her nest in the oak tree the Nightingale heard him, and she looked out through the leaves, and wondered."No red rose in all my garden!" he cried, and his beautiful eyes filled with tears. "Ah, on what little things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched.""Here at last is a true lover," said the Nightingale. "Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars, and now I see him. His hair is dark as the hyacinth-blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire; but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow.""The Prince gives a ball to-morrow night," murmured the young Student, "and my love will be of the company. If I bring her a red rose she will dance with me till dawn. If I bring her a red rose,I shall hold her in my arms, and she will lean her head upon my shoulder, and her hand will be clasped in mine. But there is no red rose in my garden, so I shall sit lonely, and she will pass me by. She will have no heed of me, and my heart will break.""Here indeed is the true lover," said the Nightingale. "What I sing of, he suffers--what is joy to me, to him is pain. Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it,nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold."夜莺和玫瑰奥斯卡·王尔德&说，她说如果我给她带来红玫瑰，她会和我一起跳舞，”年轻的学生喊道，“但是在我的花园里没有红玫瑰夜莺从她在橡树的巢里听到了他的声音，她透过树叶向外望去，感到奇怪。

18第五单元Translation of Text A夜莺与玫瑰1 “她说若是我给她带去红玫瑰，她愿意和我一路跳舞。

”年轻的学生哭喊道，“但满院子都没有一朵红玫瑰。

”2 这番话给在老橡树上自己巢中的夜莺听见了，她通过橡树叶张望，心中惊讶。

3 “在我的花园没有红玫瑰！”他哭着说，他美丽的大眼满含泪水：“啊，圣贤之书我已读完，哲学奥妙尽藏心中，但是缺少一朵红玫瑰却使我的生活瞬时暗淡！”4 “终于有一名重情感的人了，”夜莺说，“我曾日日夜夜为他歌唱，此刻我终于见到他了。

”5 “王子明晚将举行一个舞会，”年轻的学生喃喃道：“我的爱人也将前去我若为他采得红玫瑰，她将和我一直跳舞到天亮。

我会揽她入怀，而她也会偎依在我的肩头。

但在我的花园没有红玫瑰，因此我只能独自坐那儿黯然神伤，心痛超级。

”6 “他确实是一个重情感的人，”夜莺说。

真爱是美好的，它价胜千金。

7 “乐工们将奏乐助兴，”年轻的学生道，“我的爱人将和着竖琴和小提琴声翩翩起舞。

她的身姿是如此的轻盈宛似蜻蜓点水般。

但他是不会和我一路跳的，因为我没有红玫瑰献给她。

”于是他扑倒在草地上，双手捂着脸放声痛哭起来。

8 “他为何哭泣呢？”一只绿色的蜥蜴翘着尾巴通过他身旁时问道。

9 “是啊，到底为何呢？”一只在阳光下挥动着翅膀的蝴蝶问道。

10 “到底为何呢？”一朵雏菊用低沉的声音对他的邻居说道.11 “他为一只红玫瑰哭泣。

”夜莺说。

12 “为了一朵红玫瑰？”他们叫道，“太荒谬了！”那本来就有点愤世嫉俗的小蜥蜴肆无顾忌的笑道。

可是夜莺了解男孩的悲痛，默默无声地坐在橡树上。

13 突然她张开自己棕色的双翼，向空中飞去。

她犹如影子般穿越树林，又如影子般越过花园。

14 在草地的中心一棵美丽的红玫瑰树傲然屹立。

她看到后当即向它飞去：“给我一朵红玫瑰，”她高声喊道，“我将为你献上我最甜美的歌声。

”15 可是树儿摇了摇头。

16 “我的玫瑰是白色的，”它说，“白如海之浪花，白胜高山千年积雪。

The Nightingale and the RoseOscar Wilde "She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses,"cried the young Student; "but in all my garden there is no red rose."From her nest in the oak tree the Nightingale heard him, and she looked out through the leaves, and wondered."No red rose in all my garden!" he cried, and his beautiful eyes filled with tears. "Ah, on what little things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched.""Here at last is a true lover," said the Nightingale. "Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars, and now I see him. His hair is dark as the hyacinth-blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire; but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow.""The Prince gives a ball to-morrow night," murmured the young Student, "and my love will be of the company. If I bring her a red rose she will dance with me till dawn. If I bring her a red rose,I shall hold her in my arms, and she will lean her head upon my shoulder, and her hand will be clasped in mine. But there is no red rose in my garden, so I shall sit lonely, and she will pass me by. She will have no heed of me, and my heart will break.""Here indeed is the true lover," said the Nightingale. "What I sing of, he suffers--what is joy to me, to him is pain. Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold."夜莺和玫瑰奥斯卡·王尔德&说，她说如果我给她带来红玫瑰，她会和我一起跳舞，”年轻的学生喊道，“但是在我的花园里没有红玫瑰夜莺从她在橡树的巢里听到了他的声音，她透过树叶向外望去，感到奇怪。

现代大学英语精读1课本内容及翻译Lesson One Half a DayNaguib Mahfous1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?"4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's nota punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys.Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?"5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life.You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. "8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way.But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"9. "My father, " I whispered.10. "My father's dead, " he said simply.11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. "13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.16. In addition, the time for changing one' s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to the paradise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.17. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invade it? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.18. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, between early morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up.Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.19. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me.20. He stretched out his arm and said, "Grandpa, let me take you across."第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。

Lesson Five Angels on a PinTeaching ObjectivesMake the students understand the importance of education in life and make them think about what makes a good education system;AuthorAlexander Calandra is now Professor of Emeritus of Physical Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The present text is adapted from “Angels on the Head of a Pin: A Modern Parable” which first appeared in Saturday Review. Dec. 21, 1968 and has, since then, become a classic (or an often quoted) case on the problems of American education.Cultural BackgroundWhy is the article entitled “Angels on a Pin”?The title of the text “Angles on a Pin” comes from the much-talked about question: “How many angles can dance on the head of a pin?” which is used to ridicule those people who asked meaningless questions about the Bible in the Middle Ages. It is also used ironically to describe the kind of questions that philosophers ponder考虑.Medieval scholastics were fond of debating such meaningless questions as “How many angels can dance on the point of a pin?” “Did Adam have a navel?”[′neivəl] n.肚脐and “Do angels defecate?”[′dɛfɪkeɪt]排便.The emerging出现sciences replaced such “scholarly” debates with experimentation实验and appeals to observable fact.DiscussionHow adults “kill” creativity?⏹Insisting that children do things in the “right way”Teaching a child to think that there is just one right way to do things kills the urge to try new ways.⏹Pressuring children to be realistic, to stop imagining.When we label a child’s flights of fantasy as “silly”, we bring thechild down to earth with a blow, causing the inventive urge to die.⏹Making comparisons with other children.This is a subtle pressure on a child to conform; yet the essence of creativity is freedom to conform or not to conform.⏹Discouraging children's curiosity.One of the indicators of creativity is curiosity; yet we often brush questions aside because we are too busy for "silly" questions. Children's questions deserve respect.Introduction to the Text1.Background Knowledge: This article was written at a time when the whole of the United States was thrown into a panic over the launching of the first satellite, Sputnik, by the Russians, because this seemed to prove that the former Soviet Union had left the US far behind in science and technology. Many Americans believed that there must e something seriously wrong with their educational system. The author, in writing this article, seemed to think that part of the nation’s problem in education was the traditional teaching and testing methods, which emphasized book knowledge rather than the students’ originality and creativity.2.Our Country’s Situation: Education is also a great challenge in our country. Problems are many. One of them is perhaps the fact that our education is too closely geared to tests and examinations. In fact, often our effort seems to serve the purpose of enabling students to handle them properly. Tests and examinations are necessary and useful of course. But their purposes are limited, and so is their usefulness. If they are overused, or if we take the means for the ends, they will lead to serious consequences. This text can give us some food for thought.3.Discussion: Ask students to comment on the existing testing and examination system in China, and have them discuss problems in our teaching methods and educational approach.Theme of the StoryPart of the nation’s problem in education is the tradit ional teaching and teaching methods, which emphasize book knowledge rather thanstudents’ originality and creativity.Structure of the TextPart 1 (para. 1): The author was asked to be a referee on thegrading of an exam question.Part 2 (paras. 2—5):The student’s way of solving a problem ofphysics.Part 3 (paras.6—10): The student’s flexible way of working thingsout arouses our awareness of the drawbacks障碍of the present-day education.Language studycall(1)make a call give sb. a callget/receive a call answer a callhave a call return a callphysics: Note that it is used as a singular noun in spite of the plural form.

现代大学英语精读1(带译文)一、课文背景本单元选自美国作家埃德加·爱伦·坡的短篇小说《黑猫》。

课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。

我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。

然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。

2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。

我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。

3“我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4“我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。

学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。

难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5我不相信他的话。

我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。

6到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。

“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。

笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。

”7我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。

但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。

“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。

放学时我会在这等你的。

”8我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。

他们中我一个也不认识。

他们也没有一个认识我的。

我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。

然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。

10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。

11我不知道该说些什么。

这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。

接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。

那些人把我们排成几行。

使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。

每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。

12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。

一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。

因此擦干你们的眼泪，快快乐乐地面对生活。

”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
