ENGLISH 6 课文译文(U1-U10)Lesson1 Sexism in School (学校中的性别歧视)如果一个男孩在课堂上喊出来,他会得到老师的观注。
如果一个女孩在课堂上喊出来,她会被告之先举手再发言。
老师表扬男孩比女孩多,会给男孩更多的学业帮助,老师更能接受男孩在课堂讨论中评论。
这只是一些老师怎样偏爱男孩的例子。
通过这样的优势,男生就能增加更好的教育机会,可能得到高工资或者晋级快。
虽然许多人认为课堂歧视在70年代早期就消失了,但它并没有消失。
教育不是一种供人观看的体育运动。
许多研究者,最近的有加州大学洛杉矶分校前教育系系主任John Goodlad,也是“一个被称为学校的地方”的作者,他们表明,当学生参与课堂讨论时,他们对学校持有更积极的态度,这种积极的态度能增进学习。
女生在课堂上比较被动,在高考中比男生得分低,这决不是一种巧合。
大多数老师声称,女生参加课堂讨论和男生一样,也经常会被提问。
但刚刚完成的长达三年的研究发现,不是这样的,男生显然会控制整个课堂氛围。
当我们给老师、行政人员看了课堂讨论视频,问谁说得多时,老师们异口同声说女生说得多。
但事实上,在视频中,男生比女生说得多的比例是3:1在我们的研究中,实地研究者对4个州的小学4年级、6年级、初中2年级以及哥伦比亚特区等100多个班级的学生进行了观察。
老师和学生有男的、女的、黑人、白人、来自城市的、郊区的、农村社区的。
一半的课程是语言艺术和英语,这些课程传统上是女生占优势;另一半课程是数学和科学,这些传统上是男生的领域。
我们发现所有的年级、所有的社区、所有的学科中,都是男生控制住了课堂交流,他们比女生参与课堂互动多,随着时间的推移,他们参与的越来越多。
我们的研究否定了传统的假设,女生在阅读课上统治课堂讨论,而男生则是在数学课上。
我们发现不管是在语言艺术、英语还是数学、科学这些科目中,往往男生得到老师的观注要比女生多。
有些批评家声称,如果老师对男生说得多,这仅仅是因为男生在吸引老师注意力上更加自信,这是个经典的例子,吱嘎响的轮子就能被上油。

U11.Perhaps it would go away, deprived of her attention.Mother meant to deliberately overlook whatever she did not like and could not change.2.School let out in June to the end of July.From June to the end of July school closed for the summer vacation.3.I spent the afternoon squinting up at monuments to freedom and pastpresidencies and democracy.Literarily, the writer was unable to open wide her eyes due to the dazzling summer sunlight. Figuratively, the freedom, equality and democracy all American citizens were allegedly entitled to were simply distorted images in the author's eye.4.Mother bright and father brown, the three of us girls step-standardsin-between.Mother was bright and father brown, and the three of us girls represented gradations from bright to brown.5.Indoors, the soda fountain was dim and fan-cooled, deliciously relieving tomy scorched eyes.Inside the Breyer's, the soda fountain was so dim and the air so cool that the pain of my eyes was wonderfully lessened.6.No one would answer my emphatic questions with anything other than aguilty silence.My forceful question got no response from my family; they remained silent as if they had done something wrong and shameful walking into Breyer's.7.My fury was not going to be acknowledged by a like fury.My anger was not going to be noticed or sympathized with by my family members who were similarly angry, though.U21.Instead of ... sneaking out to the empty lot to hunt ghosts and animal bones,my brother and I had to go to Chinese school.My brother and I were unable to walk out quietly and secretly, like other children, to the open field to play kid’s games , for we were forced to go to Chinese school.2.No amount of kicking, screaming or pleading could dissuade my mother.Our kicking, screaming and pleading could not in the least make our mother change her mind about sending us to Chinese school.3.Forcibly she walked us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school,depositing our defiant tearful faces before the stern principal.She dragged us by force all the way from our home to school, a long hilly distance of 7 blocks, finally leaving us, hostile and tearful, in front of the severe headmaster.4.In Chinatown, the comings and goings of hundreds of Chinese on theirdaily tasks sounded chaotic and frenzied.In Chinatown, large crowds of Chinese were coming and going with their routine responsibilities in a disorderly, overexcited way.5.He was especially hard on my mother.He was fastidiously particular about my mother’s English.6.I finally was granted a cultural divorce.Ultimately I was permitted to stop learning Chinese culture.7.At last, I was one of you; I wasn't one of them. Sadly, I still am.Finally I assumed that I was one of the Americans and that I was not one of the Chinese. Unfortunately, I am, as a matter of fact, still Chinese.U51.I was just a girl with little direction, more drawn to words and made-upstories than to formulas and lab experiments.I was a young girl without a clear idea of what to do in the future; but I waskeener on literature than on natural science.2.I think I admired that photo so much, not because of Marie Curie and whatshe stood for but because she seemed so exotic.I think the reason why I enjoyed looking at the photo was not becauseMaria Curie herself was in the photo, nor because she represented a great woman, but because her image appealed to me.3.Marie Curie's own daughters grew into accomplished women in their ownright.Marie Curie’s own daughters distinguished themselves in their respective field due to their own efforts and competence.4.She wound up falling in love with Casimir Zorawski.Finally she fell in love with Casimir Zorawski.5.She was beneath his station, poor, a common nursemaid.She, a poor, common nursemaid, was much lower in social status than her young master.6.The reality was a lot grittier—and a lot less romantic.The reality was much harder, not as romantic as shown in the 1943 film Madame Curie.7.They were the toast of the European Scientific community, feted lavishlyand visited at home in Paris by acolytes to pay homage.They were highly respected in the European scientific community, entertained exuberantly and visited by acolytes to show their reverence to the Curies at home in Paris.8.The metamorphosis was less simple, more serious. A cape of solitudeand secrecy fell upon her shoulders forever.The changes in Marie Curie brought about by the loss of her husband were much more profound than the simple change from a happy young wife to an inconsolable widow. The shadow of loneliness and introversion hung over her for the rest of her life.9.The Marie Curie that I discovered was no icon but a flesh-and-bloodwoman.The Marie Curie I discovered was not an image of a holy saint, but a woman existing in real life.U71.The 1980 election, especially for the Senate and House of Representatives,signaled a decided turn to the right insofar as political and social attitudes were concerned.The 1980 election, especially for the Senate and House of Representatives, indicated a definite change to the right in terms of political and social attitudes.2.Some kind of social welfare assistance must be doled out to those whocannot find jobs.Social welfare assistance must be offered to the jobless.3.I am appalled that the condition has been allowed to develop.I am shocked to find that the problem is getting more and more serious.4.This dreadful society sickness has now overtaken the United States.America has now been seized by this terrible social problem.5.For a major nation to show itself impotent to house its young people isadmitting a failure that must be corrected.American must correct the problem that, a superpower as it is in the world, it is incapable of providing houses for its young people.1.You take the chance on the weather if you holiday in the UK..2.We will be entering a period of less danger insofar as the danger of anuclear war between the superpowers is reduced.3.Facing such high mortality, the government is determined to put thebrakes on unlicensed coal mining.4.The road clings to the coastline for several miles, and then it turns inland.5.It seems that nothing can dampen his perpetual enthusiasm for reform.6.As the children grew up with the warmth of social care, memories of thebitterness of their orphanhood faded away.7.It is astonishingly hard for the aged to break out of old restraints in ordernot to appear conservative.8.It is reported that what the rich at home have contributed to charity ispitifully insignificant, compared with the donations made by the overseas Chinese.U81.Did you get too bogged down in the details trying to come up with the"exactly right" answer?Did you get so tied up in these complex math figures that you were unable to give the “exactly right” answer?2.Did you zero in on the two most important problems…then hazard aguesstimate?Did you focus all your attention on the two most important problems, and then make an estimation which may not be exactly right?3.Your mistakes will frequently balance out.Your mistakes will often average out, i.e. the extremely high estimations and the extremely low estimations which you make will eventually become equal in amount, value, or effect.4.The black, being warmed most by the sun, was sunk so low as to be belowthe stroke of the sun's rays.The black cloth absorbed the heat of the sun most. So, it sank so deep below that the sunrays could not reach it.1.Don't let yourself get bogged down in endless exam preparation.2.I carefully positioned the flower near the window so that it could get plentyof sunlight.3.No one would hazard a guesstimate of when the dispute would come toan end.4.It seems a lot to spend this month, but we will get in a lot more next month,so it'll balance out over the period.5.He is amazingly incomparably inventive and resourceful, and plays a majorrole in my career.6.After the orchestra had tuned up the conductor walked up onto the stage.7.Modern military aircraft use computers to zero in on their targets.8.She's come up with a brilliant idea to persuade her boss to double herincome.U121.Yet most of these five, like most of the college cheaters, would probablyprofess a strong social consciousness.Similar to most college cheaters, the five interviewees would be likely to claim to possess a strong social awareness.2.These two examples exhibit a paradox of our age.These two examples illustrate the seemingly self-contradicting situation, i.e.while social morality is growing, private morality is declining.3.Beneficent and benevolent social institutions are administered by men whoall too frequently turn out to be accepting "gifts."Those who run social charity institutions are often found to be bribe takers.4.Morality means mores or manners and usual conduct is the only standard.Morality means the acceptance of customs and moral values of society or adherence to proper behaviour, and the established way of conduct is the sole criterion of judgment.5.Nothing is more important than this personal, interior sense of right andwrong and his determination to follow that rather than to be guided by what everybody does or merely the criterion of 'social usefulness'.The most important thing in a person's life is his own conscience and his decision to adhere to it instead of being driven by so-called social practice or acceptance.6.They have a wrong notion of what the real, the ultimate, security is.They have a wrong idea of, and don't actually understand, what the real, the ultimate security means.1.There's no need to put on that injured expression -- you're in the wrong.2.I've always believed that pleasure and self-contentedness count more thanmoney and fame.3.Being under pressure can easily lead people to make the wrong decisions.4.The elite seem content to socialize with the small circle of their own.5.Stress should be laid upon the training of students' communicativecompetence in their English studies.6.In the end, she acknowledged that she had been at fault.7.Opposition parties protested that it was a rigged election manipulated bythe ruling party.8.Many of his predictions made decades ago have turned out to be true now.U131.For the Greeks, beauty was a virtue: a kind of excellence. Persons then wereassumed to be what we now have to call-lamely, enviously-whole persons.Greek thought beauty was a fine virtue, a type of perfection. People at that time were expected to be beings of integrity, whom we now call whole persons,a term used somewhat awkwardly but not without envy.2.They may have resisted Socrates' lessons. We do not. Several thousand yearslater, we are more wary of the enchantments of beauty.The Greeks may have refused to accept S ocrates’ lesson. But we do not.Thousands of years later, we are now more cautious about the charm and attraction of beauty.3.For close to two centuries it has become a convention to attribute beauty toonly one of the two sexes: the sex which, however Fair, is always Second.For nearly 200 years, beauty has been customarily related to only one of the two sexes, the female, which is always the secondary sex no matter how fair it seems to be.4.In every modern country that is Christian or post-Christian, women are thebeautiful sex---to the detriment of the notion of beauty as well as of women.In every modern country, women are always regarded as the beautiful sex, which corrupts not only the notion of beauty but also the sex itself.5.It does not take someone in the throes of advanced feminist awareness toperceive that the way women are taught to be involved with beauty encourages narcissism, reinforces dependence and immaturity.One does not have to be struggling with unconventional feminist views, even so advanced as to be unacceptable, to realize that what women have been taught about beauty encourages their admiration of their own looks, their dependence on men, and their intellectual immaturity.6.Given these stereotypes, it is no wonder that beauty enjoys, at best, a rathermixed reputation.With such widely-accepted social biases, it is not surprising that the word beauty has, in the most favorable case, both a positive and a negative connotation.7.Even if some pass muster, some will always be found wanting.Even if some parts of the body are accepted as satisfactory, some others are still below par.8.Women get some critical distance from the excellence and privilege which isbeauty, enough distance to see how much beauty itself has been abridged in order to prop up the mythology of the "feminine."Women should keep a sufficiently long distance away from beauty, which is their excellence and privilege, to find out to what extent the notion of beauty has been reduced in essence to support the make-up story of the women. 1.要是被剥夺了充分的睡眠时间,没有人能不出毛病No one can function properly if they are deprived of adequate sleep.2.不满自己所受的待遇,他愤然离开了球队Dissatisfied with the treatment he had received, he split off from the team. 3.女权主义者强烈地批评这个电视节目含有性别歧视Feminists have strongly criticized the TV broadcast for carrying sexist overtones.4.她上大学时沉溺于玩电脑游戏,影响了学业She indulged in computer games at college, to the detriment of her studies.5.那时,这个国家正处在二战后经济最萧条时期The country was then in the throes of the worst economic recession after the Second World War.6.我们的计算似乎出了点问题Something seems to have gone adrift in our calculation.7.如果不太熟悉我不太轻易告诉别人我的住址I’m a bit wary of giving people my address when I don’t know them very well.8.他靠着枕头笔直地坐在病床上He was sitting upright in his hospital bed, propped up by pillows.。

英语专业综合教程5课文翻译综合教程第五册课文翻译Unit1TheFourthofJuly我第一次到华盛顿的时候是初夏那时我想我不应该再当一个孩子。
至少这是他们在八年级的毕业典礼上对我们说的。
我的姐姐菲利斯在同一时间从高中毕业。
我不知道她应该不再当一个什么。
但当作是送给我们俩的毕业礼物,我们全家在国庆日前往华盛顿旅游,那是传奇而著名的我国首都。
这是我第一次真正意义上在白天时乘坐火车。
当我还小的时候我们总是在夜晚乘坐运奶火车去康涅狄格海岸,因为它更便宜。
学期还没结束前家里就开始忙着准备旅行的事。
我们准备了两个星期。
父亲拿了两个大箱子和一个装满食物的盒子。
事实上,我第一次到华盛顿的旅途可以说是一个移动盛宴一在位子上安顿下来我就开始吃东西直到我们到了费城往后的某个地方才停下来。
我记得那是费城,是因为我们没有经过自由之钟对此我很失望。
母亲烤了两只鸡,然后把它们切成恰好一口一片的大小。
她打包了黑面包和黄油切片,青椒和胡萝卜条。
有来自Cushman面包店的亮黄色的周围有一圈扇贝形状的小冰蛋糕叫做“金盏花“。
有来自牛顿面包店的香辛小面包和岩皮饼,还有包裹着蛋黄酱的冰茶那是一家雷诺克斯大街上圣马可学校对面的西印度面包店。
还有母亲为我们准备的蜜桃和给父亲准备的莳萝腌菜,桃子上还有绒毛,单独包装,以免它们碰伤。
为了干净,母亲还准备了成堆的餐巾纸和一个小锡盒子里面装有浸了玫瑰水和甘油的毛巾,可以用来擦拭发粘的嘴巴。
我想要在餐车吃饭,因为我已经从书上读到过关于它们的一切,但母亲提醒了我无数次,餐车食品太贵,而且,你根本没法辨别那些食物上有谁的手在上面动过,也不知道,之前他们的手碰过什么地方。
我的母亲从未提及过直到1947年黑人还是不被允许进入前往南部的火车餐车。
通常,无论母亲是不喜欢的或无法改变的事她都会忽视。
可能她觉得如果把注意力转开事情就会过去。
后来我知道菲利斯的高中班级旅行去的就是华盛顿,但老师们私底下又把费用还回给了她,跟她解释说,班上的孩子除了菲利斯都是白人他们将住的那家旅馆会让菲利斯不高兴。
