Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱，衣着肮脏，口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里，便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说：“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人，说道：“告诉公共汽车司机，洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节，口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时，已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”，而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时，他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下，在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然，他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班，所以他走向登机门，出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后，这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边，但是飞机似乎正在向西飞，而当他向窗外望去时，他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气，“不，”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似，讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说，特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨，一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时，她的老板问她：“你拿到盘子了吗?” “没有……”她回答说，心里却在纳闷，不知道他到底是什么意思。
她在办公室工作。
老板为什么问她盘子的事呢？一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷，但又不好意思开口问他。
21世纪大学英语2课后翻译答案第一单元：1. Our university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice.在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义和共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。
2. These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. Of course, it’s true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 percent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics).现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。
当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。
例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50%的30岁以下的人上大学的目的（即便愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。

Unit Six陈雪雷整理比利杰夫·迈克马伦所有重大的战役都是在自己内心进行的。
——谢尔登·考格斯数年前（1983—1987），我有机会为麦当劳公司扮演吉祥小丑罗纳德·麦当劳的角色。
我的市场范围涵盖亚利桑那州的大部分地区和南加州的部分地区。
我们例行的活动之一便是“罗纳德日”。
每个月中的某一天，我们都要探访尽可能多的社区医院，给那个谁也不想去的地方带去一点快乐。
能为正在经历“消沉时期”的大人和孩子带去一点欢乐，我感到十分自豪。
从活动中感受到的温暖和喜悦一连几周萦绕在我身边。
我喜欢这个项目，麦当劳公司喜欢这个项目，孩子和大人喜欢这个项目，护理人员及医务人员也喜欢这个项目。
每次探访我都受到两条规定的限制。
第一，没有麦当劳员工以及医院工作人员的陪同，我不得在医院随意走动。
这样，如果我走进某个病房吓着了孩子，旁边就会有人及时处理这一问题。
第二，我不得用身体接触医院里的任何人。
他们可不希望我把病菌从一个病人传播到另一个病人身上。
我能理解他们实施“不准触摸”这一规定的理由，可我并不喜欢它。
我认为触摸是我们所能知道的最真诚的交流方式。
书面文字、口头语言都可以撒谎，热烈的拥抱是不可能撒谎的。
我被告知，违反其中任何一条规定都意味着我会失去这份工作。
我的“罗纳德日”进行到第四年年末的某一天，已经一整天涂着油彩的我走在医院的走廊上，正准备回家，这时传来一阵轻轻的叫喊声：“罗纳德，罗纳德。
”我停了下来。
那微弱的、细细的声音来自一间半掩着门的病房。
我推开房门，只见一个5岁上下的小男孩躺在他爸爸的怀里，身上连着的医疗仪器之多是我平生未曾见到过的。
妈妈在另一头，旁边还有爷爷、奶奶和一位监护仪器的护士。
病房里的气氛使我知道病人的情况很严重。
我问小男孩叫什么名字，他告诉我他叫比利，随后我为他变了些简单的戏法。
当我后退着道别时，我问比利我还能为他做些什么。
“罗纳德，你愿意抱抱我吗？”如此简单的一个请求。

Unit two认错人（改编）马克·吐温几年前的一天，我来到萨拉曼卡——纽约附近的一个火车站。
我计划在那儿搭乘卧车。
站台上都是人，他们涌入长长的卧车，把列车挤得满满的。
我问售票处的人能否买两张票，但他厉声回答说：“没票！”然后冲着我的脸关上了窗。
这真是对我尊严的莫大打击，然而我又需要这两张车票。
我找到一位地方官员，问他能否在卧铺车厢的某个地方找个可怜的小角落；但他猛然打断了我，厉声说道：“没有，找不到。
每个角落都挤满了。
好了，不要再来烦我了。
”说完，他便不理我而走开了。
我没料到他会这样对待我，我的尊严处于一种难以描述的状况。
我对同伴说：“他们这样对我讲话是因为他们不知道我是谁。
”可我的同伴却说:“别说这种傻话了。
即便他们知道你是谁，你觉得这能帮你在没有空座的火车上搞到座位吗？”说完他也不理我了。
这太过分了。
我找到刚才那个官员，非常有礼貌地告诉他我叫马克•吐温，我是否能——但他又一次打断了我：“我已经告诉过你不要再来烦我了。
”接着又不再理我了。
我无助地环顾四周，发现我的同伴目睹了整个经过。
我感到的耻辱无法用语言形容。
我说：“或许他没有听到我的名字。
”但我的同伴却不这么认为，他说：“他肯定清楚地听到你的名字了，只不过他不在乎罢了，就是这么回事。
”我不知道接下去会发生什么，但就在这时候,我注意到一个年轻的卧车行李搬运工正在跟列车员窃窃私语，并朝着我点头。
那个列车员随即转过身，毕恭毕敬地向我走来。
“我能为您效劳吗，先生？”他说道，“您要在卧车上找个空位吗？”“呃，当然，”我回答说，“可我问过站台上那个人，他说每个角落都塞满了，还叫我不要烦他。
”“不会吧，先生，我简直不敢相信他说了这样的话。
简直无法想象有人竟然这样对您说话，先生！我很抱歉，先生，但您一定是误会他了。
我们什么空地方都没了，只剩下那个大的家庭包房，里面有两个铺位和几把扶手椅，但这一切都供您享用。
过来，汤姆，把这些箱子搬上车！”搬运工拿了我们的小提箱，我们则上了车。
Unit Five珍贵的遗产罗恩·戈尔德埃尔西外婆去世时我才17岁。
她是我祖父母一辈中最后一个去世的，我是她唯一的外孙。
直到律师宣读她遗嘱的那一刻，我才充分感受到这位老妇人深深的爱。
这是一个我永生难忘的时刻——这一天，我成了镇上最富有的孩子。
我和父母、索菲姨妈、比尔姨夫围坐在她的律师办公室的小型会议桌旁。
她想让她的女儿和女婿们一起分享她所留下的一点财富——包括小额保险单的收益、几个手镯、一些珠宝和她的结婚戒指。
除此之外，她还给他们留下了房子的契约、银行账户、当地电气公司的少许股票以及一面美国国旗。
这面国旗是军方为爱德温外公举行葬礼时授予她的。
我们起身离去时，律师对我们说，―还有三样东西。
‖他从公文包里取出一个小小的珠宝盒、一封信和一叠用红纸整整齐齐包着的信封。
―杰弗里，你的外婆把她的订婚钻戒留给了你，希望你不久就能好好地派上用处。
‖大家都笑了起来。
―这些也是给你的，杰弗里，‖他说，―这封信和这些情书可能是所有遗产中最珍贵的。
‖外婆的信是这样开始的:“亲爱的杰弗里，我把我最珍贵的财富之一——我的回忆——留给你。
这些回忆即是你爱德温外公不在我身边时写给我的信。
请读读这些信吧，它们是无价之宝，是指导你如何去爱一个女人、如何理解别人、如何重视并保持正直品格的指南。
“读这些信时，你会感受到一个出色的男人对一个出色的女人的思念和激情，你会了解战争给人们带来的恐惧和痛苦，你会认识到是非之分，你会学会信任你爱的人，远离你不信任的人，你也会知道什么是陈酿的友谊，真爱何以会成为你生活的核心。
―杰弗里，我一直都很幸运。
我爱着一个优秀的男人，他也深爱着我。
尽管他的爱现在已经成了回忆，但它也是一个永远也不会结束的真实的梦。
爱就像一张存放在相册中的美丽的照片。
每当你惊奇地凝视它时，你都能欣赏到它的美。
爱可以使时间停滞，使你再一次青春焕发——永远青春焕发！爱德温外公是个军人，是一位职业军官，第一次世界大战期间赴法国，在潘兴将军的部队中服役。
