大学英语综合教程3课文翻译第一课：生活中的困扰原文：Living With RegretRegrets. We all have them. They can range from minor inconsiderate acts to major life-changing decisions. But no matter the scale, regrets serve as a constant reminder of our past mistakes and missed opportunities.Regrets often stem from our desires to change the past. We wish we had made different choices or taken different paths. We dwell on what could have been, rather than accepting what is. This obsession with the past can hinder our ability to live in the present and enjoy the opportunities that await us.Living with regret can be a heavy burden to carry. It weighs us down emotionally and mentally. We constantly replay the past in our minds, seeking to find a different outcome and trying to understand how things could have been different. This constant rumination can lead to feelings of guilt, sadness, and even depression.Regret can also have a negative impact on our relationships. If we are constantly dwelling on past mistakes, it can prevent us from fully engaging with others in the present. We may be hesitant to form new relationships or trust others, fearing thatwe will make the same mistakes again. This fear and hesitancy can limit our social connections and prevent us from experiencing the joys of deep and meaningful relationships.So how do we break free from the grip of regret? It starts with acceptance. Accepting that we cannot change the past, no matter how much we wish we could. We must forgive ourselves for our mistakes and learn from them. It is through learning and growth that we can move forward and create a better future.In addition to acceptance, it is important to focus on the present moment. By practicing mindfulness and being fully present in our daily lives, we can let go of the past and embrace the opportunities that come our way. Life is constantly changing, and if we are too focused on what has already happened, we may miss out on the beauty of what is happening right now.Regrets are a natural part of life, but they do not have to consume us. By accepting the past, focusing on the present, and learning from our mistakes, we can live a life free from the burden of regret.翻译：带着遗憾生活遗憾，我们都有。

综合英语教程3_课文翻译_unit1-8来源：赵芸竹、Nicco的日志BOOK 3 课文翻译Unit 1我的父亲——一位著名男演员的女儿讲述的故事埃米。

米特福德我并不真正了解父亲，他不是个很容易相处的人。

我觉得他比拟以自我为中心，还宵一点儿虚荣．在某些方面还会让人觉得有距离感。

公众肯定都认为他很随和，其实在家的时候他根本上都是独处，不怎么跟我们交流。

我小的时候父亲火溉很少在家，因为我几乎没有什么关于他的记忆。

他对家庭生洒．直是有一些生疏。

对他来说，工作总是放在第一位，而且他总是在外地演戏或是排练。

他喜欢别人找他签名，也喜欢被别人认出的感觉。

他获得过几个奖项，并为此感到非常骄傲。

他成为一名大英帝国荣誉公民，我们必须到白金汉宫去领取勋章。

那真是令人难以置信的乏味。

还何其他数百人获得同样的荣誉，所以你得一直坐在那里等好几个小时。

每当有人来拜访我们家时，父亲总爱把他的奖品拿出来炫耀。

我上过私立寄宿学校，但是因为对学习毫无兴趣并且总是缺课，被勒令退学了。

我本来就不想去那儿上学，因此，我就和我所有的朋友们分开了。

把我送到那个学校读书他一一定很快乐，但事实上，到最后这一切只是浪费金钱而已。

我想我让他感到非常失望。

后来我也试着做过儿份工作；但是都不能安心长久地做下去。

然后，我意识到我真正想做的是生活在乡村照料牲畜，所以，我现在就做这个。

作为一家人，无论是情感上还是空间上我们都不那么亲密。

这些日子我们彼此很少见面。

我和父亲就像石膏和奶酪’一样完全不同。

我的兴趣一直都在乡村，而他那么喜欢书本和音乐，尤其是歌剧，这恰恰是我所讨厌的。

如果他们来看我们，他们的衣着也完全不适合在乡村穿——貂皮大衣和漂亮的但不适合在田间走长路的小皮鞋。

父亲对我结婚更是完全反对。

他一直希望我和我的丈夫分开。

查拉德太卑微了，我想。

而父亲一定是怨让我嫁给一个有名望的人，但我没有。

事情就是这样。

我们夫妇俩并不打算要孩子，但是我的父亲总是不停地谈论着他想抱X子。
