百度文库- 让每个人平等地提升自我！1Written Assignments for 1301080 (7’) Name Student’s Number ScoreI have been asked many times, what is the role of an outside advisor? How should Presidents use them? My answer is simple: even if he ignores the advice, every President should ensure that he gets a third opinion from selected and seasoned private citizens he trusts, (the second opinion should come from congressional leaders). Though Cabinet members and senior White House aides often resent outside advisors, a President takes too many risks when he relies solely on his staff and the Federal bureaucracy for advice. Each has its own personal or institutional priorities to protect. An outside advisor can serve the role of a Doubting Thomas when the burearucracies line up behind a single position, or help the President reach a judgment where there is a dispute within the government. They can give the President a different perspective on his own situation; they can be frank with him when those in the White House are not.我曾经多次遇到这样的问题，外部进谏者的作用是什么？总统们应当如何利用这些进谏者？我的回答很简单：总统可以不纳谏，但每位总统都应当确保他能从精挑细选、经验丰富，自己信任的第三方那里得到建议（第二方的建议应有国会的领导者提供）。

They are men and women recogniz ed for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures ico ns and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death –such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. （263 words）31. The passage mainly deals with _______.(C )A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebrities32. Heroes and heroines are usually _______. (D )A. courageousB. good example to followC. self-sacrificingD. all of the above33. Which of the following statements is wrong?(D )A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.34. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______. (C )A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her deathD. after she gave birth to a prince35. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?(B )A. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one’s story.Passage 2 害羞（腼腆）是很多人不愉快的一个原因Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, th e way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people ar e very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―You’re just sayi ng that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear th at while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easie r it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. （309 words）36. What does the author try to prove by citing ―what kind of impression am I making?‖(B )A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.37. According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.(A )A. a good qualityB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a weak point of shy people38. When being praised, shy people feel that it is _______. (B )A. goodB. unrealC. very reasonableD. harmful39. Which of the following statements is true according tothe passage? (C )A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.40. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.(B )A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage ThreeWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is ―no‖. It is not the tools a scientist uses but h ow he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to manyquestions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observesin a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. （263 words）41. What makes a scientist according to the passage? (B )A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His way of learning.D. The various tools he uses.42. ―The scientist, however, goes one step further…‖. The author says this to show _______.(C )A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs43. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.(A )A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement44. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.(C )A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations45. What is the main idea of the passage?(D )A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Passage 4 美国人崇尚自我奋斗者（白手起家的人）A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man —the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easilyassembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. （290 words）46. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.(A )A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors47. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.(B )A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food48. The expression ―wait on table‖ in the second paragraph means ―_______‖.(D )A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant49. The author’s attitude towards manual（体力的）labor is _______.(A)A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. critical50. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?(B )A. A Respectable Self-made Family.B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.C. Characteristics of American Culture.D. The Development of Manual Labor.IV. 阅读课文Unit 5精读课文，选择适当介词填空by until about of for in instead of51. Old age, I decided, is also a gift.

大学英语专业翻译练习题汉译英翻译训练1. 翻译的定义翻译是指把一种语言文字的意义转换成另一种语言文字。

简言之，翻译是一种用不同的语言文字将原文作者的意思准确地再现出来的艺术。

从以上翻译定义我们知道，原文的思想必须尽可能得到保持，不可有所增删。

译者的任务只是转换文字而不是改变其意思。

因此，翻译有两种要素：准确性与表达性。

准确性是翻译的首要条件。

译者必须谨慎地遵循原作者的意思，所选用的字词和句式结构必须如实地传达出原文的思想。

表达性是让译文易于理解。

换言之，译者必须用自己的手段尽可能地将原文的思想清楚而有力地表达出来。

准确性使译出的思想明确无误，而表达性则使译文生动，具有魅力。

焦点问题：词语的选择参考译文：Definition of TranslationTranslation means the conversion of an expression from one language into another. To say it plainly, translation is an art to reproduce the exact idea of the author by means of a language different from the original. From the above definition of translation we know that the original thought of the expression must be kept as far as possible. Nothing should be added to or taken away from the original work. The duty of the translator is simply to change the vocabulary, not the thought. In translation therefore, there are two essential elements: accuracy and expressiveness. Accuracy is the first indispensable quality of translation. The translator must cautiously stick to the author’s idea. Words selected and sentences constructed must be such as to convey the exact original thought. Expressiveness is to make the translationreadily understood. In other words, the translator must express the author’s idea as clearly and as forcibly as he can by the medium he employs. Accuracy is to make the thought definite and exact; while expressiveness is to make the translation vivid and attractive.2.文化的交流当今的世界，既非丝绸之路时代，亦非马可.波罗时代。

汉译英Unit 4Conversation 1M: Good morning, Professor Harkens. I hope I am not disturbing you.W: Not at all, Tom. Come right in. I'm always in my office in the morning.M: I thought I’d get an early start on my research paper and would like to discuss my topic with you if you have a moment.W: Of course. I recommend that all my students should discuss their topics with me before they begin their research. What do you want to work on?M: I was especially interested in your lecture on dinosaurs and the apparent mystery surrounding their extinction. I’d like to explore that qu esti on, but I’m not too sure how to go about it.W: Well, according to the most widely held theory, thedinosaurs died out because of the sudden cooling of the earth’s temperature. Your textbook summarizes the conclusion of several paleontologists on this point.M: Didn't you also mention a second theory in your lecture? That dinosaurs may simply have been replaced by mammals gradually and might not die out as a direct response to the cool weather?W: Yes. Van Vellen and Sloan are proponents of this theory. And I've put some of their articles on reserve in the library.M: Van Vellen and Sloan? I’d better write that down.W: Let me know how your work progresses, Tom. If you should run into any problems, be sure to stop by again.( 236 words )Questions 9 to11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. Who are the two speakers? (C)10. What is the main focus of T om's research? (B)11. Who most likely are Van Vellen and Sloan? (C)Conversation 2W: Hew! This rowing is hard work. Let’s have the boat toward the old lighthouse now.M: Good idea. We can rest there for a while and eat our lunch. Then we can climb to the top platform where the light is before we visit the museum at the base of the lighthouse tower.W: Whenever I came out here, I thought about the family who used to live on the little island and take care of the light every night. What a lonely life that must have been!M: Yeah, to help ships find their way along shoreline, at night, they had to constantly make sure that the windows up around the light were clean and free of ice and snow.W: Dirty soot must have been a problem. Didn’t they burn candles up there?M: This one used to have a kerosene lamp. But they changed over to electricity around 1920, I think.W: In New Port, Rode Island, people talked about a woman who was a lighthouse keeper for over 50 years. Ida Louise was her name. She saved a lot of people from dying in ship wrecks.M: Was her lighthouse out on an island like this one?W: On one even smaller and further from land. In stormy weathers, it was pretty dangerous for small boats.M: I understand the United States Coast Guard takes care of the most modem lighthouses.W: Yeah, but the light is automatic nowadays. The lighthouse is still a friendly sight at night though.M: Here we are. This lighth ouse is the friendliest sight I’ve seen today. I’m exhausted.

( B )Section BPassage 1More and more electronic devices and services in our daily life mean we have too many passwords and numbers to remember. Passwords help us protect our wealth and privacy; however, they also bring us a lot of troubles.Every day I need to remember much useless information. Every morning I turn on my cellphone – it needs a password. I get to work and I have to have access to my computer with a password. Like many people in Britain, I have two bank accounts. One needs a five-digit number and a password; the other needs a six-digit number and a memorable place name. I have an online savings account that needs a different password from the password for my bank account.Even if you never use a computer, you can be hit by the password overload. Look in your wallet. You probably carry four or five credit cards. In these days of chip and pin, these are virtually useless if you do not have the magic four-digit numbers. The banks tell you not to have the same number for all your cards. Give me a break. Am I going to carry five different random four-digit numbers in my head? After all, I'm not Good Will Hunting.I’ve tried systems to help me remember -- such as using the names of favorite films or members of my extended family; but none seems to work. So what is the solution? ( 238 words ) Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do passwords bring to us? (D)17. Which of the following does NOT need a password? (D)18. What has the speaker tried to do to remember his passwords? (C)Passage 2Internet is threatening our privacy. In the past, if a shop manager wanted to know you better, he had to rely on a good memory for detail. They came out from behind the counter to give you personalized service, browsed the shelves with you and made recommendations.In this digital marketplace, the ―shop manager‖ may actually be a machine. It searches in its memory of information about you, analyzes it and creates a clear portrait of what you are likely to buy and do in the future. Not all companies approach personalization in the same way. For some websites, the approach is direct: they ask you to take a survey about what you like, and then make offers that match your interests. Another way is through IP addresses, the electronic place from which you browse the Web./doc/5f12422983.html, and many other sites also compare individual's browsing and buying habits to those of thousands and millions of other consumers in their databases. Using a technique called collaborative filtering, they can find out your likely interests. This is based on what they know about what like-minded people buy or do.But this new use of Internet begins to trouble some computer users. They worry that advertisers can track their private information without their knowledge, and that files about them might be put to ill use somehow, or shared with wrong people. Sometimes they just don’t like being watche d. (236 words)Questions 19 To 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Which of the following do traditional shop managers NOT do to know theircustomers? (D)20. In the digital market, w hich of the following does the ―shop manager‖ NOT do?(D)21.

While some people believe that the countryside provides a better environment for children to develop, others argue that city life offers more opportunities for growth and development.Those who argue that the countryside is a better place for children to grow up often cite the benefits of fresh air, open spaces, and a simpler way of life. Children who grow up in the countryside are often surrounded by nature and have access to a wide range of outdoor activities. They are also more likely to have a close-knit community and strong family ties.On the other hand, those who believe that city life is more beneficial for children's development argue that the city offers more opportunities for education, career development, and cultural experiences. Children who grow up in the city have access to better schools, diverse culturalexperiences, and a wider range of career opportunities. They are also exposed to a wider range of people and perspectives, which can help them develop a more open-minded and tolerant worldview.In my opinion, both the countryside and the city have their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to raising children. Ultimately, the best environment for a child to grow up in depends on a variety of factors, including the child's personality, interests, and family situation. Some children thrive in the peaceful and natural environment of the countryside, while others flourish in the stimulating and diverse environment of the city. Therefore, it is important for parents to consider their child's individual needs and preferences when deciding where to raise them.In conclusion, the debate over whether it is better for children to grow up in the countryside or in the city is a complex and multifaceted issue. While both environments have their own advantages and disadvantages, the best environment for a child to grow up in depends on a varietyof factors. Ultimately, parents should consider their child's individual needs and preferences when deciding where to raise them.。
