IV. Chinese Translation of Paragraphs1. 首先,我要强调的是,读书本应是一种享受。
当然,为了应付考试或者获取信息,许多书我们不得不读,而我们从中却不可能得到任何愉悦。
我们读这些书是出于教育的目的,至多希望自己对它的需要不至于使阅读的过程过于乏味。
我们读这些书并非好之乐之,而是出于无奈。
这当然不是我要谈的读书。
要谈的读书。
我接下去要谈论的书籍,既不能助您获得学位,也不能帮您谋生;既不能教您怎样驾驶帆船,也不能教您怎样启动熄火的车辆。
然而,它们却可以让您生活得更为充实。
不过,您必须喜欢读书才行,否则也无济于事。
2. 我这里所说的“您”,是指那些有闲的成年人,他们想读的不是非读不可的那些书。
我指的不是书虫,因为书虫们自有读书之道。
我这里只想谈些名著,那些很久以来广受推崇的杰作。
我们理应都读过这些名著,遗憾的是这类人却为数甚少。
有些名著不仅为优秀的批评家们所公认,文学史家也会有长篇大论,然而,今天的普通读者读之却味同嚼蜡。
这些作品对研究者来说是重要的,然而,时移事易,人们喜好变更,如今这些书早已失其原味,要读完全凭意志。
举例来说,我读过乔治·艾略特的《亚当·比德》,但我不能违心地说这个过程是愉悦的。
我读它是出于义务,读完了自然如释重负。
3. 关于这类书籍,我无意置喙。
每个人自有自己的评价和意见。
不论学者们对某本书作何评价,即便他们众口如一,极尽溢美之词,除非您感兴趣,否则它与您毫不相干。
不要忘记批评家也经常犯错,批评史上那些最著名的评论家的低级错误比比皆是。
一本书对您价值几何,只有作为读者的您才是最终评判人。
当然,这适用于我将要向您推荐的书籍。
我们每个人都不可能与他人完全一样,至多只是相仿而已。
因此,没有理由认为对我有益的书也正好对您有益。
不过,读这些书让我觉得内心更加富有;倘若我没有读过的话,恐怕我就不会完全是今天的我了。
所以我恳求您,倘若您在本文的诱惑之下去读我推荐的书,但却又读不下去,那就放下它们。
UNIT6What does it feel like to help dying patients through their final days? Experience it through the eyes of hospice nurse Jill Campbell, who does her job with grace, compassion, and gratitude.1.Outside, it's noisy on this busy block of row houses in Baltimore. But inside one tidy living room, all is quiet except for the sound of a woman's raspy breathing. The patient is huddled in an easy chair under a handmade pink-and-blue afghan, a knit cap on her head and booties on her feet. She has trouble staying warm these days. Her cancer has returned with a vengeance and she has only a few weeks to life. Hospice nurse Jill Campbell kneels down beside her patient, listens to her breathing, and then checks her blood pressure. Campbell has already hauled in oxygen tanks, showed family members how to work them, organized the medicine, and assessed how her patient has been eating and sleeping.2.But now is a moment to connect one-on-one. Campbell wraps her hands aro und the woman’s hands and rubs them together to warm them. She looks into her face. “are you feeling a little better?” she asks softly.3.Getting to know her patients and helping them through the toughest time of their lives is what Campbell, 43, appreciates most about being a hospice nurse. “I don’t know of another position where you can do more for people,” she says.4.Her patients have all been told that they have six months or less to live. Rather than continue with often-difficult or painful treatments that probably won’t extend their lives, they have decided to stop trying for a cure. Instead, with the help of hospice care, they’ll focus on comfort and on living whatever they have left of their lives to the fullest ---usually in their own home.5.Being able to die at home is a major part of the appeal of hospice, but patients and family members may not see it that way at first. “A lot of people still view hospice as giving up and letting the disease in,” says Campbell. That’s why the decision to c all in hospice care can be an incredibly difficult one for a family to make. Once they do, though, most patients and their families soon understand the value of having a team of dedicated professionals---including social workers, health aides, chaplains, and nurses---work together to provide not only physical but also emotional and spiritual support. 帮助即将离世的患者度过最后的时光会是怎样的感受呢?让我们借助吉尔·坎贝尔的所见经历这一切吧。

Unit6 Grant and Lee格兰特和李1865年4月9日,当尤利西兹·S·格兰特和罗伯特·E·李在弗吉尼亚州阿珀马特科斯县城一所不太大的房子的客厅里会面,商讨李所率的北弗吉尼亚军队投降条件时,美国人生活中一个伟大的篇章结束了,一个崭新的重要篇章开始了。
此二人是在实质上终止内战。
诚然,其他军队尚未投降,已失去主要支柱的逃亡的邦联政府仍将绝望地徒然挣扎数日,想法寻觅生机。
其实,在格兰特和李签署文件之时,一切都已结束。
他们拟定投降条件时用的那间小客厅成了见证美国史上强烈的戏剧性对照的场所。
这两位截然不同的将军都是强有力的人物,他们代表着两股相互冲突的力量的潮流,那两股潮流通过他们最终发生碰撞。
罗伯特·E·李所仰仗的信念是,古老的贵族观念或许能以某种方式继续存在下去,并左右美国人的生活。
李是弗吉尼亚州沿海低地人氏,他的生活背景是家庭、文化、传统……,是被移植到这个正在形成自身的传说与神话的新世界的骑士时代。
他体现了从骑士和英格兰乡绅时代流传下来的一种生活方式。
美国是个一切从头开始的国度,信奉的只不过是一种颇为模糊的信念,即人人拥有平等的权利,在世间应有平等的机会,如此而已。
在这样一个国度里,李代表着这样一种情感,即社会结构中保留一种明显的不平等多少有利于人类社会。
理应存在一个拥有土地的有闲阶级;反过来,社会本身应以土地为本,视其为财富与势力的主要来源。
(根据这一理想)这样一个社会会造就一个对社会有着强烈责任感的阶级,他们不是为自己获利活着,而是为了承担自己的特权所赋予的重大责任活着。
国家从他们中觅得领导人员;国家可依靠他们产生更加高尚的价值观念——思想方面的,行为方面的,个人风度方面的—以求国兴德盛。
李体现了这一贵族理想的最高尚的部分。
拥有土地的贵族通过他获得存在的理由。
四年间,南方各州拼死战斗,以捍卫李所代表的理想。
到后来,南部邦联似乎是为李而战;李本人似乎就是南部邦联……似乎是南部邦联所代表的生活方式能提供的菁华。
Making Sense of ChinaRomain Vuattoux1 For many foreigners, China is a mystical faraway land with a strange difficult language, an ancient complex culture and an inexplicable economic miracle, sometimes praised and sometimes demonized by Western media.Much of these perceptions are stereotyped and biased, and it is not until these foreigners come to China that their mind begins to change and their preconceived ideas shatter to pieces. Yet more confusion and strong feelings, such as surprise, frustration and loneliness, usually arise from the experience of living in China. One can only wonder: How can such a foreign place feel so much like home yet be so diff erent? How can such a place generate so many contradictory feelings?2 From the first day I arrived in China, it has been an explosion of the senses. The first sense stimulated was the sense of smell. China has a specific smell, which you recognize when you land at the airport and when you walk on the streets. In the warm humid summer air of southern cities such as Shanghai, it is a mixture of food, sweat, pollution, exhausts, garbage and sewer. The fragrances that many a foreigner may associate with China is that of street food and especially the odor of “choudoufu” (stinky tofu)and that of “baijiu” (rice wine). Every foreigner who has lived in China remembers the first time they wondered what animal had died nearby, and many have great tales of their fi rst trial at eating “choudoufu,” or drinking“baijiu.”3 Hearing is probably the sense that is excited in the most unpleasant manner. From people yelling on the phone in a congested metro or bus, to the constant honking of motorbikes, e-bikes, cars and even bicycles, or the bells of street seller and collectors, the noises made by construction sites,the ears are never left alone and silence is often hard to find. My personal funniest story about sound was the first morning I woke up in China. It was early in the morning, I was jet-lagged and a rooster was singing to the rising sun. After getting up, I investigated the origin of the sound. The rooster was not outside, but inside the echoing staircase, tied by the leg to the handrail of the building. As I inquired about the disappearance of the rooster a few days later, I learned that this loud creature was in fact the dinner of my upstairs neighbors. Fresh as it comes!4 The sense of sight is aroused daily. Walking or cycling on the streets requires paying attention to all the obstacles on the sidewalks or on the roads all the time. Yet, the bigge st “visual attack” is probably the urban development going around at all time and at indefinable speed. I have seen cities changing, disappearing or being built at amazing speed where there were only rice paddies and vegetables. Beyond the architectural feats, I have seen some of the most modern and advanced technology in Shanghai, and traveled back in time in underdeveloped, remote villages in the mountains,where people live a simple and quiet life, far from the speed and stress of the cities and far from all the advanced technologies. I have seen the fast movement of commuters amidst the immobility of old people sitting in the sun on the sidewalk, or the slow motion of “taichi” disciples in the park among the square-dancing women. Even once my eyes are closed, I often dream of these sights.5 The sense of touch is best illustrated by one experience I had when I first came to China. I call these “being an unknown superstar” and “being touched.” In my f irsteducational establishment, I sometimes had to teach in another campus on the other side of town. I would ride my bicycle across town to get to class, and it often felt like being in a movie. All the kids and adults stared and pointed to the “laowai” (foreigner) on his bicycle. As I took an excursion in the “deep” countryside, many people would approach me while I was buying some water or some snack and would start touching the hair on my arms.6 For foreigners as for Chinese, the most important sense is the sense of taste. It is also certainly the one that provides the most pleasure and the base of many relationships.I have been invited to many meals and took part in ceremonial drinking. I have seen food displays that are as elaborate as their tastes. Thousand-year-old eggs, snake, turtle, dumplings, bamboo,lotus root, pigs ears, lacquered ducks, duck neck and head, chicken feet,spicy fish head, the hundreds of ways of eating tofu are just some of the dishes that one discovers and appreciates. A lifetime would never suffice to try to taste all the specialties in China.7 Orderly chaos, disorganized order, old and new, beautiful and filthy,clean and dirty, rich and poor, kindness and arrogance ... All are opposed sensations and situations living together, side by side. For me, China is a collision of feelings, a juxtaposition of experiences and perceptions that are usually contradictory. China is all these contradictions and diversity that somehow manage to live together almost harmoniously.参考译文解读中国罗曼·瓦图对于很多外国人而言,中国是一个遥远而神秘的国度,有着奇特难懂的语言,古老深奥的文化,以及难以解释的经济奇迹,时而被西方媒体戴高帽,时而被他们妖魔化。
Reading & DigestingGetting Stared at in ChinaAri James1 Have you ever walked into a room and caught everyone’s attention at once? Have you ever been gazed at, from top to bottom, as if you were an ancient, foreign relic on display? Have you ever stared back, challenging,only to have your surveyors continue to watch you, as if nothing has happened?2 These are daily occurrences for foreigners in China. I am stared at every single day as I go about my daily life. Be it on the street, in a store,or on the subway, I am stared at like a walking spectacle. While I cannot speak for all foreigners, I can, however, seek to critique and expand upon my own experiences in a global context.3 Chinese people are curious about the outsider, this I understand.However, staring is the least of it. Bolder strangers have asked to take a picture with me, or even of me. On a class trip, my two close friends and I, all women of color, noticed that people were sneaking pictures of us. Even worse, there was one older gentleman who approached us and asked to take photographs of us. Awkward and stunned into silence, he took our lack of response as an affirmative, and began positioning us the way he wanted us. Standing or kneeling, we did it all. I feel stupid now for having gone along with it, but as our professor stood behind the man and took pictures of us as well, laughing delightedly, it was difficult to see the insidious nature behind the hilarity of the situation.4 On my street in Nanjing, where I lived for four months, my neighbors continued to fall into a hush at the sight of me, their heads turning around quickly to watch as I neared. I have become friendly with some of them,gone so far as to chat with them, but the staring never ends. I continue to be the visiting roadside attraction, promising the audience new and exotic sights. There are hushed whispers in my wake, and every time, I wonder:when will they grow tired of me?5 The stares are not in any way malicious. I am entirely aware of this,but they are still able to catch my attention every time, to correct me whenever I dare to think thatI have grown accustomed to life here.6 As a multi-racial woman, it is difficult not to see the differences in the way varying foreigners are treated. From what I have experienced in the past, most Caucasian men seem to be approached with a sense of awe. These Caucasian men are asked if they are celebrities, perhaps even compared to Brad Pitt, before a request to take a selfe is posed. This could be the typical example of Western idolization in the East and the effect of years of Western media on Chinese culture. But perhaps, this is also tied to the colorism1 that is often rooted in Chinese culture and media.7 From every angle, Chinese people are bombarded with skin whitening products, with advertisements that feature Caucasian rather than Asian models, and whiteness continues to be idealized. The bud of bias in that very notion is that foreigners have come to be equated with whiteness.While the intent is not that of discrimination, the result is shockingly close.Where this notion leaves the rest of us, people of color, I do not know. In a culture obsessed with whiteness, where do the rest of us stand?8 From my experience alone, the lack of representation, and perhaps the lack ofunderstanding about other cultures, fuel the curiosity that many people I come across tend to possess. Curiosity is welcomed, and even encouraged. Curiosity will even ultimately be the key to fixing this problem. With education and exposure to different peoples and cultures,China can and will continue to flourish as a global hub. However, when curiosity begins to breed a lack of respect and consideration for others,that is where it has the ability to change into racism and even xenophobia.9 As China continues to globalize in an effort to make its mark on the economic marketplace and the cultural zeitgeist, I fear that it will be the lack of empathy and insensitivity that will stand in its way. Beijing is already a global center, with foreigners on almost every street, and yet this type of insensitivity continues to occur. Foreigners are here to enrich their lives, to learn more about China’s long history, and hopefully to make a positive impact on it as well. They deserve more appreciation and respect rather than mere staring eyes.参考译文在中国接受注目礼阿丽·詹姆斯你是否曾经走进一个房间,一下子就吸引了所有人的目光?你是否曾被人从头到脚审视,仿佛你是一件被展出的外国文物?你是否曾挑战性地回瞪对方,结果对方却好像什么事都没发生一样继续看着你?对生活在中国的外国人来说,这如同家常便饭。

Unit 6 Saving Nature,But Only for Man仅为人类拯救自然Charles Krauthammer1. Environmental sensitivity is now as required an attitude in polite society as is, say, belief in democracy. But now that everyone from Ted Turner to George Bush, Dow to Exxon has professed love for Mother Earth, how are we to choose among the dozens of conflicting proposals, restrictions, projects, regulations and laws advanced in the name of the environment? Clearly not everything with an environmental claim is worth doing. How to choose?在当今文明社会中,对环境的敏感性就像对民主的信仰一样是一种不可或缺的态度。
但是现在从TT到BU,从D到EXXON的每个人都表达了对地球的热爱。
我们如何在以环境之名提出的许多相互矛盾的建议,约束,提案,中进行选择?显而易见,并不是每件冠以环境之名的提议都值得去尝试,我们该如何选择呢?2. There is a simple way. First, distinguish between environmental luxuries and environmental necessities. Luxuries are those things it would be nice to have if costless. Necessities are those things we must have regardless. Then apply a rule. Call it the fundamental axiom of sane environmentalism: Combatting ecological change that directly threatens the health and safety of people is an environmental necessity. All else is luxury.这里有一种简便的方法,首先,要区分什么是保护环境的奢侈品,什么是保护环境的必需品。

I went with Christina, Dawn, andRachel. We were all excited because we had heard so much about it. It's supposed to be the biggest mall in the whole region. To be honest, though, I didn't think it could live up to all the hype we've heard in the news. I was even prepared to be a little disappointed.However, we were incredibly impressed! It was huge and there were so many stores! We spent all day there, checking out the stores. Despite the many temptations to spend money, I actually had remarkable self-control! The last thing I need is to go into debt. I bought a few items for my parents, a really fashionable pair of shoes for myself, and we all grabbed a snack at one of the many restaurants.It was fascinating to see so many people all in one place and the combined enthusiasm was contagious. I just don't understand one thing, though. I saw several men falling asleep on couches between some of the stores. How on earth could someone be bored in such an exciting place with so much to see and do? The sheer number of stores kept us moving all day.By the time I got home, it was dark outside and I was exhausted. A long day of shopping is hard work! I collapsed in front of the television and actually fell asleep there! I have to say, without exception, that the new mall is my favorite place in the entire world! That's all for today, Diana41.

Charlie's the best puppy in the world!41 to 45 Families around the world are very much the same and very different. Culture, beliefs, and family structure are usually closely connected. Relatively speaking, families in Asian cultures tend to be closer and play a more important role in society than those in many other cultures.Society in Mongolia has traditionally been, and continues to be, nomadic in nature. Families tend to live in close proximity with each other in single-room homes, even in cities. Though families tend to be physically and emotionally close, there also exist strong relationships between generations. As in most Asian countries, respect for the elderly andfor one's parents is strong and younger generations are expected to value and follow the examples set forth by the older. Many Mongolians continue to adhere to the proverb, "Regardlessof how good a son is born, he can never be wise without a father's instructions." Similar to many Chinese cultures, the Spring Festival (lunar New Year) is a major holiday and occasion for families to come together. On New Year's Eve, the entire family will gather for singing, dancing, offering thanks to the elder generations, cooking and eating a large feast, and storytelling. Celebrations will often last through the night. For many families that inhabit the generally isolated countryside, this is a rare opportunity fortogetherness, festivities, and thanksgiving. Traditionally, Mongolians viewed the family as their primary obligation. Therefore, the family, rather than the individual, usually defines the basic unit of social organization. Since many Mongolians lead nomadic lifestyles and / or live in very remote locations, parents were historically responsible for disciplining and educating their children. Many urban families now have the option to send children to public schools or private boarding schools. Many children in the countryside, however, continue to spend most of their childhoods herding livestock, as they do not have the opportunity to attend formal school.41.

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第一册)5,6,7课文及其翻译The Treasure in the OrchardAn old gardener who was dying sent for his two sons to come to his bedside, as he wished to speak to them. When they came in answer to his request, the old man, raising himself on his pillows, pointed through the window towards his orchard.“You se e that orchard?" said he."Yes, Father, we see the orchard.""For years it has given the best of fruit - golden oranges, red apples, and cherries bigger and brighter than rubies!""To be sure, Father. It has always been a good orchard!"The old gardener nodded his head, time and time again. He looked at his hands - they were worn from the spade that he had used all his life. Then he looked at the hands of his sons and saw that their nails were polished and their fingers as white as those of any fine lady's."You have never done a day's work in your lives, you two!" said he. " I doubt if you ever will! But I have hidden a treasure inmy orchard for you to find. You will never possess it unless you dig it up. It lies midway between two of the trees, not too near, yet not too far from the trunks. It is yours for the trouble of digging - that is all!Then he sent them away, and soon afterwards he died. So the orchardbecame the property of his sons, and without any delay, they set to work to dig for the treasure that had been promised them.Well, they dug and dug, day after day, week after week, going down the long alleys of fruit trees, never too near yet never too far from the trunks. They dug up all the weeds and picked out all the stones, not because they liked weeding and cleaning, but because it was all part of the hunt for the buried treasure. Winter passed and spring came, and never were there such blossoms as those which hung the orange and apple and cherry trees with curtains of petals pale as pearls and soft as silk. Then summer threw sunshine over the orchard, and sometimes the clouds bathed it in cool, delicious rain. At last the time of the fruit harvest came. But the two brothers had not yet found the treasure that was hidden among the roots of the trees.Then they sent for a merchant from the nearest town to buythe fruit. It hung in great bunches, golden oranges, red apples, and cherries bigger and brighter than rubies. The merchant looked at them in open admiration."This is the finest crop I have yet seen," said he, " I will give you twenty bags of money for it!"Twenty bags of money were more than the two brothers had ever owned in their life. They struck the bargain in great delight and took the money - bags into the house, while the merchant made arrangements to carry away the fruit.UNIT5 Treasure in the OrchardUNIT6 Tracking Down My DreamUNIT7 The Smile"I will come again next year," said he, " I am always glad to buy crop like this. How you must have dug and weeded and worked to get it!"He went away, and the brothers sat eyeing each other over the tops of the money-bags. Their hands were rough and toil-worn, just as the old gardener's had been when he died."Golden oranges and red apples and cherries bigger and brighterthan rubies," said one of them, softly." I believe that this is the treasure we have been digging for all year, the very treasureour father meant!"一个老园丁快死了,叫人把两个儿子叫到床边来,因为他想要对他们说话。
Text 1 Teaching in Your Pajamas:Lessons of Online Class穿着睡衣讲课:网络课程经验谈1 对我来说,在大学讲课有一点让我很喜欢,就是精心打扮然后呈上一场精彩的表演。
我会换一身得体的套装、化好妆、配上相应的饰品,甚至把上课用的提示卡都会重新修订一番。
2 不过,一个星期五的晚上,我就坐在这里给二十五个学生讲课,还穿着淡紫色睡衣。
没错,我在网上授课。
3 去年,校方要求我上一个本科班的环境学网络课—这门课我在暑假学校已经教了好几年了。
我质疑这种教学方式的有效性。
我怎么会知道提交作业的学生就是注册的哪位呢?但话又说回来,我又真的知道在传统班上坐着的学生就一定是注册了的吗?4 网络教学也要求我重新思考讲授课程内容的方式。
十七年了,我一直是站在学生面前讲授化学和环境科学的。
学对我的评价一直都极其肯定,通常会提到我的热情,幽默感及用通俗易懂的语言讲授课程的能力。
我面临的挑战是要通过计算机也能做到的一切。
5 我还在考虑哲学与教学方面的问题呢,女儿则选了两门网络课程。
结果,这反倒成了我最好的学习经历。
6 她一向是个非常腼腆的学生,从来不在课堂上发言。
但在这些网络课程中,她全心投入讨论,发表意见,总的说来比以往任何时候都更能放开参与。
7我也选了一门为我们学校的网络教师开设的短训课程,得知很多同事也很腼腆,通过计算机教学他们感受更得心应手。
8 因为要在暑假学校讲授环境科学课,趁这机会为秋季的网络课程备课看来再合适不过了。
我的计划是这样的:在上传统课的那天,早上备课,修整草坪,然后晚上去教课。
9我一直没去成草坪。
每一堂课都需要花八个小时左右的时间打字解释,好让在线学生能看明白,我也让教室里的学生能看到这些课件,他们很高兴提些意见。
10 网络班开课了,学生都能很好地遵守指令。
他们写传记,综述与环境问题相关的新闻报道。
他们回到有关自己对于环境方面所作贡献的问题,有时还坦白交代一些令人吃惊的个人习惯。
