Unit3LeisureActivities课文翻译大学体验英语一（五篇）第一篇：Unit 3 Leisure Activities课文翻译大学体验英语一Unit 3 Leisure Activities Passage A Clubs and SocietiesParties, drinking, eatingall help pass the time, but deep down there's something you're really eager to find, but you can't quite put your finger on.What you have been looking for, my friend, is the chance to throw yourself into the world of University Societies, and discover the huge range of activities which thrive in a city like Oxford.Whether you want to pursue an existing interest or develop new ones, your first move should be to check out the bewilderingly large array of clubs at the OUSU Freshers' Fair.With your Freshers' Fair ticket, you can get your hands on a brand-new edition of the comprehensive guide to all things at Oxford.If you miss the Fair, don't despair: you can see what societies are offered in the Oxford Directory, a handbook issued to you in Freshers' Week.Take a while to browse through---it's your one major chance to find out about what goes on in the University.The degree to which people get involved in societies varies a great deal.Some totally immerse themselves in a club, hardly speaking to anyone who isn't a member of that group for the next three years and rising to become a leader of the organization.Others prefer to take a more eclectic approach, being members of several societies and taking part in whichever of their events seem interesting.Many people, perhaps foolishly, completely ignore University societies and just hang out with mates in college.Societies offer a great chance to meet people from outside college, which, especially for arts students, is something it is sometimes difficult to do.But don't forget that most colleges2 have their own flourishing societies, which youmay be able to join in your college during Freshers' Week.Music and drama are often popular and it is very easy to get some mates together and start something up.If you have ambitions to open up your new Shakespearian Rap Society3 to the whole University, you can register it with the University Proctors, who give out start-up grants and loans, among other benefits.One of the downsides, especially with larger societies, is the hacking which takes place.'Hack' is the negative term applied to those seeking advancement(usually to President)in whatever Club or Society, and some clubs such as the Oxford Union or the Guild Society tend to attract those with the spark of ambition more than others.When students suddenly remember their blank CVs5 which are supposed to secure them a highly paid job once they graduate, hackery is almost inevitable.Do not be afraid, though: the vast majority of students tend to avoid such self-seeking behaviour and get on with life.With over 300 registered societies there really is something for everyone.Apart from the obvious political parties and sports clubs there are groups for all the main religions;societies interested in the society and culture of countries from China to Bulgaria, and UK regions from Scotland to Essex;charities for those interested in voluntary work, literature, music, drama and sci-fi;and a fair number of strange groups such as the LMH Pudding Society, the Oxford Stunt Factory and the Pooh Sticks Society.You won't get bored.A篇俱乐部和社团聚会、喝酒、吃饭--哦，还有工作--都让时光流逝，但你内心深处确有一些很想追寻的东西，却无法实现。
Leisure Inactivities几百年前，人们并没有很多休闲时光，因为人们太努力工作。
在十九世纪的英国，人们有更多的闲暇时光，但是维多利亚人觉得休闲和无所作为是一种犯罪。
所以为了避免诱惑他们发明了足球和板球，人们就开始做一些比较文雅的休闲运动比如观鸟和园艺工作，甚至可能是仅仅看一场比赛，满足于你确实是在做一些有意义的事。
以板球为实例，它是一项有奇怪规则的特殊比赛，它在五天的时间内什么也没有发生最后选手经常决定将它判为平局，有参与或观看的每一个人都对这项无所作为的赛事感到非常满意。
这就是我们现在称之为休闲静止运动的一个好例子。
慢慢的多年以来，静止的休闲运动涉及的互动更少了，在九十年代一个新的休闲生物逐渐形成，他们觉的躺在沙发上观看电视里的体育赛事或者视频光碟是他们能想象到的最令人激动的静止运动这就是电视迷。
那么谁想要成为一个电视迷呢?好吧，事实上，许多人都这么想，他们有非常充分的理由。
也许只是你一周内那一天的休闲时光，也许你刚从公司或学校回来可能你很累只是想要冷静下来，对于电视迷每一项活动都太麻烦了，而懒惰是一种艺术形式。
那么如何成为一个电视迷呢？很简单，坐在一个很舒适的地方比如一条漂亮的沙发椅，或者，你知道的，一条睡椅。
不要坐在一个土豆上，确保你有需要的一切，吃的东西（尤其是薯条，没有真正的电视迷会吃其他东西），喝的，杂志，还有一台电视。
当然最重要的设备就是遥控器，没有了切换频道和在睡椅上挪动的自由，就没有电视迷能够称得上这个名字了。
事实上看电视没有遥控就会变得像体育运动一样危险，很可能应该被避免。
现在开始看电视吧。
每十秒换一次频道，然后照此一直换下去。
尽可能快速的失去注意力，好让你保持一个沙发土豆的状态。
（记住，你的注意力持续时间和土豆的一样长。
）最后，请别人帮你做事，如再拿点吃的，或租张影碟。
然而，对他们的态度一定要好！如果态度不好，你很可能要自己做这些事了。
因为它破坏了这种蔬菜的形象。
Leisure inactivities – or how to relax and do nothing闲暇无为——或如何歇着无所事事1 Centuries ago people didn't have much free time, because everyone was working too hard. In Britain in the 19th century, people had more time off, but the Victorians thought relaxing and doing nothing was a sin. So to avoid temptation, they invented football, rugby and cricket. People took up more gentle leisure activities like bird-watching, gardening and trainspotting, and it was even possible simply to watch a sport and give the impression that you were actually doing something useful.数百年前，人们没有多少空闲时间，因为人人都在辛苦劳作。
在19世纪的英国，人们有了较多闲暇，可是维多利亚时代的人认为歇着无所事事是一种罪过。
于是为了避免诱惑，他们发明了足球、橄榄球和板球。
人们开始从事更温和的休闲活动，如观鸟、园艺、收集火车头号码。
他们甚至可能只是观看一项运动，给人一种有事可做的印象。
2 One instance of this is cricket, which is a peculiar game with weird rules, where nothing happens for five days, at the end of which the players often decide to call it a draw. And everyone, players and spectators, feel perfectly fulfilled by this non-event. It's a good example of what we can now call a leisure inactivity.其中一个例子是板球。

Unit 5 Inside viewConversation 1Have you got your tickets for the play?What play?The play which OUDS are producing.You know, the play I'm in at the Oxford Playhouse.Oh, that play! Well, er ...What about you, Janet?What's the play called?Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett.You are coming, aren't you?Beckett? Why not?Well, um, I'm sure you'll be totally brilliant, Mark ...but I wish I could understand the play. It doesn't make sense.If only you were more patient, Kate.Beckett's a fascinating writer.You'll come though, won't you, Janet?You really ought to see something like thisat least once during your stay in Oxford.Well, I'm not sure.Oh, come on! Please!But if Kate doesn't understand the play,there's no way I'll be able to follow it.Do you want to go?Well, I love going to the theatre,and I'd really like to see Mark acting.And actually, yes, I think I should see a play by Samuel Beckett. Good! So you're coming, Janet.I wish you'd come, too, Kate.It's a really good performance.Well, OK, but I'm only doing it because you're in it.When is it on?Next Tuesday to Saturday.How about going Friday night?That's great. But you'd better get your tickets soon,because we're expecting a full house.Conversation 2Well, what did you think?It was ... very interesting.I didn't have a clue what was going on.Absolutely nothing happened!I don't know why I bothered coming to see it.I thought Mark was brilliant.Yes, I did too, of course ...But I wish I had read the play before I saw it.If only I had known the story,it might have been easier to follow it.How long do you think Mark will be?I guess he needs to get changed first. He said he'd join us as soon as possible. Here he is. Hi, Mark!Hi, what did you think? How was I?It was ... very challenging.It was so-so.But you were brilliant! Well done!You were awesome, Mark.Everyone adored your performance.Darling, you were to die for!OK, OK, don't exaggerate.I wasn't that good! Anyway,I've got some great news!Tell us!We've started talking about next term's OUDS play.What's it going to be?Hamlet, by William Shakespeare!Great! And who's going to play Hamlet?Don't tell me. Let me guess!To be or not to be - that is the Question!I don't believe it. You're going to play Hamlet?Come on, let's celebrate ... from Beckett to Shakespeare.Today Oxford, tomorrow, Hollywood!Outside viewSo, what do you guys want to watch?Uh, I don't know.

Uh, let's watch some music videos.This is awful!Can you see what's on another channel?Yeah, sure. What channel?Uh, anything but this.These television viewers are trying to decide on a programme to watch,by clicking on channels and seeing what's on.This practice is known as channel surfing.In the past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV.There were only three channels to choose from.Cable television has changed all that.There are so many channels,and so many different kinds of programmes to watch,many viewer s find it difficult to decide what to watch,even when they are watching by themselves.This business traveler doesn't like anything.Many people like a particular type of programme.Part 2TV programmes I like watching are cooking shows, um, comedy shows.I usually watch dramas, um, murder mystery programmes, quizzes, comedies.I like watching talk shows.I guess of all my favourite TV shows I'd like news programmes.I like to watch soap operas and news.I like to watch, um, comedy shows.Well, I like good drama, I like, uh, a lot of the cop shows, um,I like a lot of the, ah, science fiction shows and uh, good history.TV programmes I like to watch are like sports,uh, automotive, uh.

Turn that offListening in Conversation 1I'm so glad she won the Oscar for Best Actress.She was the best by far!If you ask me, they're pretty much all the same.What is the man's opinion of the actress?Conversation 2What an awful play!The writing was hopeless and the acting was really poor.It was a complete waste of money.We could have stayed at home and watched television.Where did the conversation most probably take place?Conversation 3You often see Mark and Jane together at the opera,but I understand they live completely separate lives now.Well, it's a bit like acting. You have to keep up appearances.What do we learn about Mark and Jane?Conversation 4So if I give you ten dollars for two tickets,you can give me six dollars' change.Whatever you say. I'm hopeless at maths.How much is a ticket?Conversation 5I seem to have lots of spare evenings these days.How would you spend your time if you wanted to go out?If I were you, I'd go dancing.It's a great way to meet people and make new friends.What does the woman say?SpeechAnd the nominations for Best Moviein this year's International Entertainment Awards are as follows:AD 2050, a science fiction adventure story with amazing special effects ... a-world where humans live side by side with animals,b-beings and ... things from beyond our earth,c-our sun and its stars. APPLAUSETwo Hearts as One, a charming romantic comedywhere boy meets girl, girl meets another boy,the other boy meets another girl, and, well,you'd better go see the film!APPLAUSEWestern Summer, set in the 19th century among the pioneersmoving to settle in the West...but with a strange and painful ending.APPLAUSEThe Beast in Us All, a thriller set in the New York subway,which comes alive when the subway closes for the night.Make sure you get that last train home!APPLAUSEAnd last but not least, The Sicilian Connection,the story of five generations of an Italian family in New Jersey,and the relationships they keep with their relatives back in Europe.

Watching football?Fishing.Fishing?Apparently, more people go fishing than do any other activity.Even in bad weather. And its nearly always the men as well.And they can be so bad- tempered if you get too close.It would be nice just to go for a walklike they do in Italy and Greece, just before dinner,when everyone gets dressed up,and walks up and down the main street,looking at each other, and meeting friends.But you couldn't do that here, because it would start raining ... True.So what's on television?。
