You just find a way to join in with a normal conversation and say something about what you would like.2range This word can mean a number of things of the same general type, the distance or limits of something, or to move freely.(a) What can you find in a shop which stocks a wide range of products?You can find products of all kinds, a good variety of them.(b) What would be the best thing to do if you were within range of someone with a gun?Run quickly away out of range if there is time; if not, take shelter.(c) Which is the biggest mountain range in China?Well, the Himalayas are the highest, but the Tian Shan or Kunlun mountain ranges are longer.(d) What have hens which lay free-range eggs been able to do?They have been able to run and walk around freely, compared to hens which are kept in small cagesor containers.3 reflect This word can mean to be a sign of a situation, or to think carefully about something.(a) Whose image is reflected if you look in a mirror?Your own image is reflected back to you when you look in a mirror.(b) Do you believe that the state of the economy can be reflected in the height of hemlines?I wouldn‘t have believed it before I read the passage, but I believe it now!(c) Do you ever reflect on the mistakes you make in English?Yes, I do try to reflect on them because I know such reflection is a good way to improve my English.4 rise This word can mean an increase in number, amount or value, or the achievement of success or power.(a) Why was there a sharp rise in unemployment in the West in the 1930s?The sharp rise in unemployment was due to the stock market crash and the financial crisis.(b) What do you know about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire?I know that over several hundred years the Roman Empire expanded, but after a time it then declined over a long period.

There are changes in the economic situation so that people may spend more or less on clothes; also new materials and colours become available,and people get different ideas about what to wear when they travel to other places or watch filmsand TV.6 Translate the paragraph into Chinese.Sometimes the hemline indicator, as it‘s called, can even precede and predict a change in the mood of the stock market long before it actually happens. In September 2007, at the New York fashion shows, which were displaying their styles for spring 2008, the trend was for much longer dresses and skirts, many to mid-calf or even down to the ankles. Some people felt this showed that the hemline indicator was no longer reliable, and that designers no longer dictated what people would wear. During the London and New York fashion shows in September 2008, hemlines continued to drop. But sure enough, in the fall of 2008, the stock market indexes fell dramatically when the banking crisis hit the US, Europe and then the rest of the world. Hemlines were no longer following the stock market – they were showing the way and indicating future economic trends.有时候,所谓的裙摆指标甚至能事先早早就预告股市的变化。

新标准大学英语综合教程4教师用书unit5课文翻译Unit5Translation of the passagesActive reading (1)英国人说闲话规则的性别差异与普遍的看法相反,研究人员发现:男人和女人一样爱说闲话。
英国的一项研究发现:两个性别的人对诸如人际关系这类的社会话题所花的时间一样多,大约是65%;另一项研究则表明:两性差异很小,男人谈话时有55% 的时间在说闲话,女人说闲话的时间是67%。
由于体育和休闲大约占10% 的说话时间,所以很可能是谈论足球的时间导致了这种性别的差异。
男人谈论政治、职业、艺术及文化事务等‚重要‛或‚高雅‛话题的可能性并不比女人高,除非女人在场(这就形成了强烈的对比)。
女人不在场的时候,男人也说闲话,他们谈论职业和政治等社会问题的时间不会超过5%。
男女都在场时,为了引起女人的注意,男人谈论‚高雅‛话题的时间会大大增加,达到15% 至20%。
事实上,最近的研究表明,男性和女性说闲话在内容上只存在一个重要的差别:男人会花更多的时间谈论自己。
在谈论社会关系的总时间中,男人用了三分之二的时间来谈论自己的关系,而女人谈论自己的时间则只占三分之一。
即便如此,那个关于男人讨论‚解决世界上问题‛而女人只是躲在厨房里闲言碎语的神话仍然大行其道,尤其是在男人堆里。
在我所调查的人群及面谈中,大多数英国男性刚开始时都声称他们不说闲话,而大多数女性都坦承自己说闲话。
在接下来的提问中,我发现两者的差别只在于语义层面而非实践层面:女性通常称为‚说闲话‛的活动在男性那里被定义为‚信息交流‛。
显然,在英国男性眼里说闲话是一件可耻的事情,这条不成文的规则已经深入人心,因此就算一个人真的在说闲话,他也会把它说成是另一回事。
更重要的是,它必须听起来像是在说别的事。
在研究中我发现男女说闲话的主要区别在于女人说闲话听起来更像闲言碎语。
这涉及到三个主要因素——音调规则、细节规则和反馈规则。
语调规则我面谈过的英国女人都认为只有某种特别的语调适合于说闲话。
Unit 1 Leisure Activities1-1 Entertaining Humor-What's Funny?Translation【1】听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心,古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么,到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?【2】我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人,因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大,有来自拉丁美洲的,也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
【3】为什么听我讲完一个笑话后,班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合,而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然,有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且,我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话,而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话:“我喜欢笑话,但我讲不好,也总是记不住。
”有些人比别人更有幽默感,就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲,而且讲了一个笑话,就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱,而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
【4】甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家,并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗,但却很喜欢布利茨恩——我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且,她们的这种好感是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母。
当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时,布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室,并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去,一直逗得外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来,布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子,从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑,无疑是在说:“啊哈,你又上了我的当。
”【5】典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
Unit 3时装潮流50年1960 至2010 年间的时装史存在着两个不可忽略或不可低估的不变因素一是无处不在的牛仔裤二是女装裙摆的升降。
牛仔裤是用粗斜纹布做的早在16 世纪末法国就有了这种布料。
直到19 世纪中叶维·施特劳斯发现在加州淘金热中劳动的矿工很需要用这种耐用布料做成的牛仔裤他还用铆钉来加固裤子。
直到1950 年代蓝色粗斜纹布做的牛仔裤一直只是流行的工装但是后来牛仔裤变成了青春、新思想、反叛及个性的标志。
1950 年代末维·施特劳斯公司开始向欧亚出口蓝色牛仔裤。
年轻人趋之若鹜视其为美国活力四射的、随意的生活方式的象征。
裙摆在这一时期有着特殊的意义。
人们时常会注意到女人的裙摆和经济之间存在一种颇为精确的关联性且鲜有例外。
股市升时裙摆也跟着上升股市跌时裙摆就跟着下降。
在经济繁荣和萧条时期女性到底为什么要多暴露或少暴露双腿至今仍然是个迷。
但总的趋势是必定是这样的每当经济前景不明朗时男人和女人都倾向于穿比较保守的衣服。
1960 年代时装史上一个最重要的发展就是英国时装设计师玛丽·匡特发明的超短裙。
由于匡特在“摇摆伦敦”的中心地带工作超短裙很快就风行全球。
当法国杰出的时装设计师库雷热把超短裙变成一件高级时装时超短裙得到了人们更多的尊敬。
但是如果只有长筒袜而没有发明裤袜的话超短裙是不可能在全球流行的因为裙摆的上升会让人看见长筒袜的袜口。
60 年代中、70 年代初的嬉皮士运动影响了牛仔裤的设计牛仔裤的裤腿发展成了扩的“喇叭形”。
到了70 年代中期随着经济的恶化裙摆降低到了小腿中部和脚踝部而牛仔裤则不再是清一色的蓝色了。
牛仔裤在朋克时期依然很时髦裤腿通常有撕裂的口子并配有铁链及打着装饰钉的皮带。
这种样式的牛仔裤延续了几年但流行的围越来越小仅限于城区的少数年轻人群体对其他年龄段的群体影响不大。
作为对朋克无政府主义的一种抗拒新浪漫派是一个主要出现在英国夜总会的时装潮流。
这种时装大胆创新、魅力十足衬衫以皱褶和奢侈为特征牛仔裤是绝对不可以接受的。

For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.全新版大学英语综合教程(第二版)4第四册课后习题Unit 2 Content questions1.

The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack.

We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.。
英语翻译Unit one Nine to fivepassage1 大学毕业找工作的第一要义:别躺在沙发上做梦今年夏天,超过65 万的大学生毕业离校,其中有许多人根本不知道怎么找工作。
在当今金融危机的背景下,做父母的该如何激励他们?1 七月,你看着英俊的21岁的儿子穿上学士袍,戴上四方帽,骄傲地握着大学荣誉学位证书,拍毕业照。
这时,记忆中每年支付几千英镑,好让儿子吃好、并能偶尔参加聚会的记忆开始消退。
但现在,你又不得不再考虑钱的问题。
2 等到暑假快要结束,全国各地的学生正在为新学期做准备的时候,你却发现大学毕业的儿子还歪躺在沙发上看电视。
除此之外,他只是偶尔发发短信,浏览社交网站Facebook,或者去酒吧喝酒。
这位属于“千禧一代”的年轻人一夜之间变成了“抱怨一代”的成员。
他能找到工作吗?3 这就是成千上万家庭所面临的状况:今年夏天,超过65万的大学生毕业,在当今金融危机的背景下,他们中的大多数人不知道自己下一步该做什么。
父母只会唠叨,而儿女们则毫无缘由地变成了叛逆者。
他们知道自己该找份工作,但却不知道如何去找。
4 来自米德尔塞克斯郡的杰克·古德温今年夏天从诺丁汉大学政治学系毕业,获得二级一等荣誉学士学位。
他走进大学就业服务中心,但又径直走了出来,因为他看见很多人在那里排长队。
跟他一起住的另外5个男孩子也都跟他一样,进去又出来了。
找工作的压力不大,虽然他所认识的大多数女生都有更明确的计划。
5 他说:“我申请政治学研究工作,但被拒绝了。
他们给的年薪是1.8万镑,交完房租后所剩无几,也就够买一罐豆子,可他们还要有工作经历或硕士学位的人。
然后我又申请参加快速晋升人才培养计划,并通过了笔试。
但在面试时,他们说我‘太冷漠’了,谈吐‘太像专家政治论者’。
我觉得自己不可能那样,但我显然就是那样的。
”6 打那以后,他整个夏天都在“隐身”。
他能够轻松地复述出电视剧《交通警察》中的若干片段。
他白天看电视的时间太长,已经到了影响健康的地步。
