全新版⼤学英语综合教程（第⼆版）第⼀册课⽂翻译与课后答案1Unit 1 Growing Up为⾃⼰⽽写——拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑⼦⾥就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我⾼中三年级，这⼀想法才有了实现的可能。

在这之前，我对所有跟英⽂课沾边的事都感到腻味。

我觉得英⽂语法枯燥难懂。

我痛恨那些长⽽乏味的段落写作，⽼师读着受累，我写着痛苦。

弗利格尔先⽣接我们的⾼三英⽂课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的⼀年。

弗利格尔先⽣在学⽣中以其说话⼲巴和激励学⽣⽆术⽽出名。

据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。

我看他有六七⼗岁了，古板之极。

他戴着古板的毫⽆装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。

他⾝穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着⽩衬⾐的领扣。

他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直⿐梁，说起话来⼀本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱⼀个滑稽的⽼古董。

我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先⽣的班上⼀⽆所获地混上⼀年，不少⽇⼦过去了，还真不出所料。

后半学期我们学写随笔⼩品⽂。

弗利格尔先⽣发下⼀张家庭作业纸，出了不少题⽬供我们选择。

像"暑假⼆三事"那样傻乎乎的题⽬倒是⼀个也没有，但绝⼤多数⼀样乏味。

我把作⽂题带回家，⼀直没写，直到要交作业的前⼀天晚上。

我躺在沙发上，最终不得不⾯对这⼀讨厌的功课，便从笔记本⾥抽出作⽂题⽬单粗粗⼀看。

我的⽬光落在"吃意⼤利细⾯条的艺术"这个题⽬上。

这个题⽬在我脑海⾥唤起了⼀连串不同寻常的图像。

贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮⽔⼀般涌来，当时，我们⼤家⼀起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意⼤利细⾯条。

那时意⼤利细⾯条还是很少听说的异国⾷品。

多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的⼤⼈也是经验不⾜，没有⼀个吃起来得⼼应⼿的。

艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作⼀团，争论着该如何地把⾯条从盘⼦上送到嘴⾥才算合乎礼仪。

Appendix IKey to Exercises (Units 1-8)Unit 1Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children ¡ª "you of tender years" ¡ª also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children shouldshare their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such mo?ments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) The end winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/Contrast Chinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to do something, or teach by holding his hand teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems94 - Appendix I2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority to de?veloping skills at an early age, believing creativity can be promoted over time put more emphasis on fos?tering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterVocabulary1) insert 2) on occasion3) investigate 4) In retrospect5) initial 6) phenomena7) attached 8) make up for9) is awaiting 10) exception11) not... in the least 12) promote13) working on 14) in due course15) emerged1) There is a striking contrast between the standard of living in the north of the country andthe south.2) Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3) The city's importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.4) His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5) The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3. 1) Chinese isn't a subject that can be picked up in a month. You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you workat it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exag?gerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two ex?tremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assisLchildren in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of con?trol. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior wayAppendix I - 95 -to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Here I would like to make three relevant points.First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning/learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization/learning by heart with a good understanding will cer?tainly be of benefit/do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. c2. c3. d4. a5. c6. bTranslation(#ja Appendix III)Appendix I - 97 -Language Practice1. adopt3. plus5. furthermore7. annual9. pace11. on demand13. perspective 15. fell apart17. access19. deposit2. account4. ended up6. fund8. keeping track of10. intends12. devise14. undoubtedly16. protest18. resources20. from your point of viewPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperHow I Learn at CollegeI went to school in a small town near Chengdu and now I am studying law at Fudan University in Shanghai. Passing from one to the other you have to get used to many new things, not the least being the different way of learning.At school I found my timetable full throughout the day. One lesson came close on the heels ofanother with little time to call one's own. At university, in contrast, only a few hours of each day aretaken up with classes or lectures. In the time made available you are expected to learn on your own.When and where is up to you. At the same time what you are meant to learn shifts from memorizingmasses of facts to developing an ability to understand theories and present arguments. There are, ofcourse, still facts to be learned. One should not exaggerate the differences. Nevertheless, learning atuniversity certainly teaches me greater self-reliance and to think for myself. (169 words)- 9& - Appendix IUnit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:You have heard about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, haven't you? He came from a poor family, but rose to become one of the most fondly remembered presidents in his country's history. There are many stories about him. Here is one of them.When Abraham Lincoln was young he worked in a store. As a clerk he proved honest and efficient. One day a woman came into the store and bought some articles. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents, or the young clerk thought they did. The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young store-keeper, not feeling quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculation, added up the items once more. To his dismay he found that the sum total should have been only two dollars. "I've made her pay six and a quarter cents too much," said Abe, disturbed. It was a very small sum, and many clerks would have dismissed it as such. But Abe was too conscien?tious to forget about the overcharge."The money must be paid back," he decided. This would have been easy enough had the woman lived just around the corner, but, as the young man knew, she lived two or three miles away. This, however, did not alter the matter. It was night, but he closed and locked the store, and walked to the home of his customer. Having arrived there, he explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. This anecdote won him a new name: Honest Abe.Appendix I - 99 -Part II Text Alext Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-4 The waiter was disappointed to find that the Richest Man in America led so simple a life.Part Two Paras 5-13 Being friendly, easy-going and never flashy, Walton carries on like plain folks and never wants any special treatment.

Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11.This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles ofcreativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1)The text begins with an anecdote.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.Chinese1)Show a child how to do something, or tech by holding the hand2)Give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity can be promoted over timeAmericans1)Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2)Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1)summarizing(2)value originality andindependence(3)contrast between (4)in terms of(5)harbor(6)fearful(7)comparable(8)promote creativity(9)emerge(10)picked upLanguage Focus VocabularyI1.1)insert2)on occasion3)investigate4)In retrospect 5)initial6)phenomena7)attached8)make up for9)is awaiting10)not; in the least11)promote12)emerged2.1) a striking contrast between the standards of living in the north of the country and the south.2)is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3)as a financial center has evolved slowly.4)is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5)by a little-known sixteen-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3.1)be picked up; can’t accomplish; am exaggerating2)somewhat; the performance; have neglected; they apply to3)assist; On the other hand; are valid; a superiorII1.1)continual2)continuous 3)continual4)continuous2.1)principal2)principal3)principle 4)principles5)principalIII1.themselves2.himself/herself3.herself/by herself/on her own4.itself5.ourselves6.yourself/by yourself/on your ownComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)contrast(2)exaggerating(3)priority(4)on the other hand (5)promoting(6)pick up(7)assist(8)accomplish(9)on occasion(10)neglecting(11)worthwhile(12)superior2.(1)end(2)perform(3)facing(4)competent (5)equipped(6)designed(7)approach(8)rest(9)definitely(10)qualityII.translation1.(1)It takes an enormous amount of courage to make a departure from the tradition.(2)Tom used to be very shy, but this time he was bold enough to give a performance infront of a large audience.(3)Many educators think it desirable to foster the creative spirit in the child at an early age.(4)Assuming this painting really is a masterpiece, do you think it’s worthwhile to buy it?(5)If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem we are investigating. 2.To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.。

Unit 1 Growing Up从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。

在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。

我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。

我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。

弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。

弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。

据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。

我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。

他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。

他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。

他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。

我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。

后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。

弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。

像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。

我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。

我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。

我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。

这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。

贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。

那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。

多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有一个吃起来得心应手的。

艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作一团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。

突然我就想描述那一切，描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛，但我把它写下来仅仅是想自得其乐，而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)课文翻译Lesson 1 FriendshipFriendship is one of life's most important treasures. Friends bring us joy, support, and understanding. They are there for us in good times and bad, and they help us grow and become better individuals.In this lesson, we are introduced to the concept of friendship through the story of Damon and Pythias. Damon and Pythias were two loyal friends who lived in ancient Greece. When Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he was sentenced to death. However, Damon offered himself as a hostage so that Pythias could go home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius was skeptical of Damon's loyalty and gave him a deadline. If Pythias did not return by the appointed time, Damon would be executed in his place. Despite the risk, Pythias returned just in time to save his friend's life. The tyrant was so moved by their friendship that he released Pythias and allowed the two friends to continue their bond.The story of Damon and Pythias teaches us about the importance of loyalty and sacrifice in friendships. True friends are willing to go to great lengths to help and support each other. They are selfless and put the well-being of their friends above their own.Friendship is not only based on loyalty and sacrifice but also on trust and understanding. Friends should be able to confide in each other and know that their secrets are safe. They should also be able to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's difficult. When trust and understanding exist within a friendship, it becomes a safe haven where individuals can be themselves without fear of judgment.Lesson 2 SuccessSuccess means different things to different people. For some, success is measured by wealth and material possessions. For others, success is achieving personal goals and finding fulfillment in life.This lesson introduces us to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack, a poor boy, was given magic beans in exchange for his family's cow. These beans grew into a giant beanstalk that reached the sky. Jack bravely climbed the beanstalk and discovered a giant's castle where he found treasures and riches beyond imagination. Jack's journey represents the pursuit of success and the willingness to take risks.Success requires determination, hard work, and a positive mindset. It involves setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. Along the way, there may be obstacles and setbacks, but successful individuals persevere and stay focused on their objectives.Success is not solely measured by material wealth but also by personal growth and self-fulfillment. It's about finding happiness and contentment in one's achievements and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.课后答案Lesson 1 Friendship1.

Unit 1 Text A Learning, Chinese-Style参考译文：哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德．加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

中国式的学习风格霍华德．加德纳1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本点明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

我们的房钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。

酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。

由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。

本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。

他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。

由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去，本杰一点也不在意，他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他供尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多.我和埃伦都满不在乎、任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣.他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处.但我根快就观察到一个有趣的现象‘饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失；敗，便都会试图帮忙.他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙褙口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口’然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢一一偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。

我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要傲的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式、揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度.因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。

两种不同的学习方式我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此亊的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样.既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽，一这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。
