Book 4 课文翻译及写作练习Unit 1 women of great achievement1.Jane Goodall 是英国著名科学家。

2.年轻时她一直想研究动物。

3.她花了多年的时间来观察记录大猩猩的日常活动。

4.她发现它们是肉食动物。

5.她也发现它们彼此之间的交流方式。

Jane Goodall is a famous British scientist, who always wanted to study animals when she was a young girl. She spent years observing and recording the chimp daily activities, discovering that they hunt and eat meat and how they communicate with each other. Jane Goodall believes that animals should be left in the wild rather than used for entertainments.

In 1977, she established a center of wildlife research and protection.Unit 2 work the land1. 袁隆平是我国著名的科学家之一。

Unit 26. 不容置疑的是，大多数书都互相重复，在文体或内容上让人感到具有独创性的书实在是少之又少。

在整个文学库藏中，或许只有极少数作品——不到50本——是独具一格的。

在最近出版的一部自传体小说中，布莱斯·桑德拉尔指出，雷米·德·古尔蒙之所以能够选择并通读文学领域中一切值得读的书籍，就是因为他知识渊博，了解书的这种重复性。

桑德拉尔本人就是一个博览群书的人，没有人会怀疑这一点。

他阅读了大部分作家的原作。

不仅如此，一旦他喜欢上一个作家，他就会阅读这个作家写的每一本书，包括他的书信以及所有有关他的书籍。

我猜想，在当今世上，几乎没有人能像他一样，不仅读得广、读得精，而且还著述颇丰。

可以说这一切都是在业余时间完成的。

拉尔是一个十足的行动家，一个四处跋涉的冒险家和探险家，一个懂得如何“肆意浪费”时间的人。

从某种意义上说，他是文学届的凯撒大帝。

7.It was not until after he had graduated from university and started to work that Zhang Lei became aware of the pleasure of reading. Reflecting on his undergraduate studies, he lamented that he, unlike some of his classmates who had immersed themselves in various interesting books they were able to lay hands on from the library or bookshop, had only read textbooks, none of which was really worthwhile, or could be read in one sitting. He was deprived of the privilege of gaining access to the writers’fantastic worlds through the windows their books have opened, so to speak.Now he has become an avid and omnivorous reader. It is as if he wants to read all those marvelous books he hadn’t had a chance to read in his university days. By now, in his spare time, he has read several hundreds of books, including novels, biographies and travel notes. He realizes that books can not only reveal to him the vista of a hopeful future and help him withstand stresses and strains, they can also help him clear up some misconceptions and discover the true meaning of the life.。

第八单元TEXT视若无睹在本特利酒店里，有八位日本绅士在吃鱼餐。

谁也不懂他们的话，但他们很少交谈，而说话时总是一副笑容可掬的样子，还常常微微鞠躬致意。

他们全戴眼镜，只有一位例外。

有时，坐在外边临窗座位的漂亮姑娘漫不经心地瞟他们一眼，然而，她似乎全神贯注于自己的事，除了她自己和她的同伴以外，世上任何人她都不会真正加以留意的。

她长着纤细的淡黄色头发，漂亮的鹅蛋脸小巧玲珑，颇符合摄政时期的风范，又像一幅袖珍肖像，不过她说起话来却粗声粗气——也许，这是她刚刚离开的母校的腔调，譬如说罗狄恩或切尔特南女子学院。

她的无名指上戴了一个男式图章戒指。

我在自己的桌边坐下，同她之间隔着那些日本绅士。

这时只听得她说，“所以，咱们完全可以下周就结婚。

”“是吗?”她的同伴显得有点心神恍惚。

他给他俩的杯子又斟上夏布利酒．说：“没错儿，不过我妈……”下面一段对话没有听清，因为最年长的那位日本绅士笑容满面地向前探了探身子，微微鞠了一躬，然后像鸟舍里发出的叽喳声一般说了一大段话，而其他人都满脸堆笑、点头哈腰地听着，于是我也情不自禁地注意起他来了。

姑娘的未婚夫长得跟她颇为相似。

我简直可以想象他们是两幅并排挂在白色护壁板上的袖珍肖像。

他真该在纳尔逊手下当一名海军军官；那年头，某种纤弱善感的特点是不妨碍升官晋级的。

姑娘说：“他们给我预支500镑，普及本的版权也卖出去了。

”这种刺耳的生意经使我吓了一跳；我感到震惊还因为她居然是我的同行。

她最多不过20岁，应该享受更好的生活。

他说：“可是我叔叔……”“你也知道你跟他处不好。

照我说的，咱们就可以自立了。

”“你倒是自立了，”他挺不情愿地说。

“做酒的生意对你实在并不合适，对不对？我跟出版商谈到你了，很有可能……你只消先看点书……”“我对书可是一窍不通啊。

”“一开头，我会帮你的。

”“我妈说，搞搞写作当然不无小补……”“500镑再加上普及本版权的一半收入，这可是大有所补了，”姑娘说。

“这种夏布利酒好喝吧?”“那还用说。
