新编英语教程第三版4第一章翻译Perri Klass[Lead in][1] In college, my friend Beth was very ambitious, not only for herself but for her friends. She was interested in foreign relations, in travel, in going to law school. “I plan to be Secretary of State someday,”she would say matter-of-factly. One mutual friend was studying literature, planning to go to graduate school; he would be the Chairman of the Yale English department. Another friend was interested in political journalism and would someday edit?Time?magazine. I was a biology major. And I was interested in writing fiction. we were all smart-ass (自作聪明的滑头) college freshmen, pretending the world was ours. We were smart college freshmen, and why should we limit our ambitions?在大学, 我的朋友贝丝是非常有野心的, 不仅为自己, 也为她的朋友。

"我计划有朝一日成为国务卿," 她说得很实事求是。

我们一个共同的朋友在学习文学, 计划去研究生院;他将成为耶鲁大学英语系的系主任。

（全新版）英语综合教程第四册课文英语原文及全文翻译They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, the many victories they enjoyed led them to believe that anything was possible, that nothing could stand in their way. Russia's icy defender was to prove them wrong. 人道是骄兵必败。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧，他们所向披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。

但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。

The Icy DefenderNila B. Smith1 In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.冰雪卫士奈拉·B·史密斯1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。

他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。

我们还有隐私吗我们关于"Privacy, Circa 2025" 的鬼屋的恶梦可能聚焦于这些一直窥视我们的全视监视器，它们已经存在，能够在从很远的地方观察到你的草坪需要修剪、你的小狗需要洗澡。

到2025年，它们将足够先进。

音频间谍技术也在快速的发展。

但是，隐私的最大威胁还不存在，直到2025年，这种威胁才达到最高峰。

今天，我们被广播电台和电视的传讯波所吞没。

到2025年我们又会被含有数十亿信息结构的电子环境所吞没，这种信息结构穿梭在我们的生活所依靠的语言，声音和画面中。

这是因为电子世界将在2025年达到一种连接的状态。

不是手机、电脑和电视网络的结合，而是一个网络可以完成。

电视,手机和电脑都是在一个主题上的变化。

正如广播收听电台一样的，它们的功能将是为了协调这些信息结构。

这些网络结构将有许多不同的形状和大小，但是有一种类型，即网络流（cyberstream）可能比其他的更加重要。

一个网络流就是你日常生活的电子纪事报，它的记录不断积累，就像一条不断延长的线上的奇形怪状的珍珠———每一个来电记录和电子邮件，每一笔账单和银行对账单，每一个网络书签，生日照片，Rolodex卡片以及日程记录。

不可抗拒的便利：在一处便可实现你的整个人生。

使用任何一个电脑，一部手机或者是一台电视，就可以了解天下事。

仅仅是把你的卡插入卡槽，通过一个安全测试（提供密码或者是指纹），然后你就可以进入了。

在屏幕上看你的电子化的生活或者通过电话听到一个描述，从最新的新闻开始，和工作回来。

通过把所有的信息输入到带有统计分析的食物处理器中，这些软件就可以处理你的各种信息，明白你的想法，就像你忠实的仆人可以对你未来的计划做出惊人准确的猜想。

它们会发现存在在你生活中的模式。

它们将会正确的回应你的简短的口头指令（叫朱丽叶，买食物，打印新闻），因为它们将会知道到底谁是朱丽叶，你需要什么食物，什么养的新闻故事你想要读。

因此，在2025年，生活会很轻松。

A Long March to Creativity 培养创造性——任重道远 Howard Gardner[1] The Jinling Hotel is a comfortable, modern hotel in the heart of Nanjing, a big city in eastern China. My wife Ellen, ouryear-and-a-half-old son, Benjamin, and I lived there for a month in the spring of 1987 while we were studying arts education in Chinesekindergartens and elementary schools. The keyto our room was attached to a large plasticblock with the room number printed on it.When leaving the hotel, a guest wasencouraged to turn in the key, either byhanding it to an attendant or by dropping itthrough a slot into a container. Because the keyslot was narrow and rectangular, the key and the block had to be inserted carefully so as to fit into the slot.金陵饭店是一座舒适、现代化的宾馆，位于中国东部大城市南京市的中心。

1987年春天我和妻子埃伦及我们一岁半的儿子本杰明曾在那里住了一个月，当时我们在研究中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育。

我们房间的钥匙系在一块大塑料牌上，牌上印有房间号。

Why do you want to start doing it now?Unit 21. The richer life experience we have, and the more people from all walks of life we know, we will develop more extensive and flexible knowledge of different English styles and the ability to use each style appropriately when the occasion arises.2. If we do not know when to use each style appropriately, or if we confuse one style with another inappropriately, an unsystematic and casual knowledge of styles is of no use, or even worse.3. Neither “bags of fun” nor “extremely gracious” in its suitable context is a careless expression of one's ideas.4. It would, however, also be absurd to turn the judgment completely the other way round.5. Except in cases where they are used to achieve humorous effect, contemporary writers think that euphemisms are too disgusting, artificial and pretentious.6. Supporting the argument made by using the outdated and stereotyped phrases that are often used by trade union leaders would be as easy as shooting birds that never fly away.7. Some euphemisms are unusual enough to be funny. They are so unusual that they become quite funny.8. Some people may also like extreme understatement.1 Every night for weeks, the priests gave sermons, and people sang songs in praise of God, worshipped God and shouted for joy. Some sinners who had never showed signs of shame or repentance were saved from sin and the number of the members of the church increased rapidly.2 The clergyman spoke on religious matters to the congregation. His speech was marvelously regular and melodious; it was a mixture of the low sounds of pain, grief and suffering, loud and happy as well as lonely cries, and horrible pictures of the world sinners go to when they die.3 The whole building shook with all the praying and singing.4 All the people attending church service prayed only for me; their praying became one strong and powerful sound of pain and suffering.5 The whole church became a sea of great joy.6 When everything became quiet again, during a respectful silence, which was broken only by several people saying “Amen”extremely joyfully and happily, all the children were given blessings by the minister in the name of God.Unit 41 I argue plainly that making marks in a book is not something done to spoil it but to show its worth and value.2 Getting the book by payment is merely a preparatory step on the way to ownership.3 Only when you have fully absorbed it can you say that you own the book completely.4 The third kind of book owners possess only a few or many books, but every one of them is worn, with the corners of the leaves folded over, and has become less tightly bound because of constant use. There are marks and informally written notes in each book from cover to cover.5 I would never mark pages of a first edition copy of Paradise Lost, just as I would not give my baby a set of coloured pencils and a painting by Rembrandt in the original.6 If the elaborate cover, style of printing or layout prevent you from marking up a book, then you'd better buy a cheap edition in which you can show your respect to the writer.7 If you write notes in the book yourself, the words and sentences will stand out more distinctly in your mind and last longer in your memory.8 Don't believe that a reader is only expected to take in passively what is in the book.9 Comprehension is a process involving both reception and production. If you remain a container ready only to receive, you cannot expect to learn very much.1 Where high quality is not just something someone does on certain occasions, but rather something that one does regularly and that one finds it difficult to stop doing.2 ... nowadays by using a computer equipped with a modem and pointing and clicking with a mouse, you can get information from any place in this world, and neither time, nor space, nor high long distance phone tariffs will make it difficult for you to do so.3 Who knew at that time that this humble software consultant would create the World Wide Web which would change our civilization, bring about millionaires, and a rich source of information.4 Surprisingly enough, such a fact did not take place in an industrial city or town but in the Swiss Alps, which seemed to be remote from industry.5 ... that could keep myself informed about all the chance connections that one may meet with in real life, and which one's brains ought to be good enough to remember, but sometimes I would just not remember.6 On the Internet one should be able to begin from one's own software file and move on to get a list of names of people one wishes to contact, and to get access to a phone book, and to get a chart showing an organization, and to obtain whatever information one wishes to get.7 In 1991 the World Wide Web made its first appearance to the world, and thereafter what used to be chaotic on the computer screen began to be orderly and clear.8 He changed a most effective communications system which used to be only at the disposal of the select educated class into a means of communication for large numbers of common people.Unit 61 People usually think that predators do not have to make an effort to kill the prey animals, since the prey have no means of protecting themselves.2 What I have gone through proves quite the opposite, the tiger has to make a real effort to eat. I would say that in order to catch one wild animal, the tiger has to try to make twenty to thirty attempts.3 So long as these systems are functioning properly, an animal will not be caught by a wolf.4 Parasites have the opposite characteristics.5 Naturalists have observed that fleas have smaller fleas living on and feeding off them, and these have even smaller fleas on them. This phenomenon continues almost indefinitely.6 Instead of bringing the insects under control, the birds have spread all over thecountry. Their numbers are so great that they leave little space for blue birds and other birds which have always lived in the area and try to get from them the food and nesting places.7 Remoras, a type of fish, join themselves onto sharks, go where the sharks go and eat bits of shark's food.8 The organisms that a lichen is composed of could not live long separately.Unit 71 The ground looked black because it was covered with numerous black ants. These vigorous, strong and powerful ants, without paying any attention to the boy, were moving quickly towards the wounded buck which was struggling helplessly. The ants looked like brightly shining black water running through the grass.2 Just as he took a breath, feeling pity for the buck and somehow afraid, the buck was no longer on its feet and became silent.3 He looked closely at the twisting body of the buck covered with black ants; its only movement now was short, quick twitches.4 The thought well expressed his growing feeling of anger and unhappiness, and objection to what was happening.5 Near him the ants were gradually going home in small groups with bits of pink meat in their mouths and there was in the air a sharp fresh smell, that of blood and fresh raw flesh.6 People might think the buck had been lying there for years, if there had not been scraps of pink meat on the white bone.7 The buck, walking around happily and proudly with its beautiful white tail swishing from side to side, had breathed in and smelt the cold morning air.Unit 81 We learn from the astronauts that if we look “down”from space, we will find the most conspicuous of Earth to be the thick layer of ice which is Antarctica, which sends light over the southernmost part of the southern hemisphere.2 One hundred and sixty years ago, however, nobody had ever seen this enormous continent, and had certainly not walked on it. Even today whether we can occupy it or not is still uncertain. Further, we know relatively little about it.3 The differences between the Arctic and the Antarctic are greater than the similarities. The Arctic is tightly surrounded by the continents of Europe, America and Asia where there are permanent populations; whereas the Antarctic is unconnected toanywhere else, separated from the nearest land by vast areas of the world's roughest seas.4 Under such conditions, a person could only stand for a few seconds, and that was by leaning forward to form an angle of 45°with the ground.5 It is not surprising that although man did not hesitate to explore and take possession of most of the earth in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the continent in the far south was left untouched.Unit 91 The mothers had already learned the news before their sons could stammer it out.2 The news spread from one brush house to another and continued to travel fast into the town.3 When the doctor realized that Kino was the man who had asked for his help, he became both serious and clever.4 For a moment the doctor's eyes were focussed on nothing as his thoughts turned to Paris.5 The news caused a profound “negative force”to be at work in the town. This could be compared to a scorpion, which causes pain, or the hunger created by the smell of food, or feeling of loneliness which comes when love is refused.6 What acted as the “venom producing bag”of the town, i.e., the increasing self interest in the townspeople, began to create poison which afflicted the whole town with a negative force.Unit 101 He gives us not what is happening outside himself but the deepest, most essential expression of himself as a person and member of the human race.2 If a composer wants to be in any way a great artist, he must have his own individuality. This may be very important or not important at all but as far as significant music is concerned, it will reflect that individuality.3 His personality may include many human weaknesses, as did Lully's and Wagner's, but excellence in his music will still stem from those aspects of his personality which are excellent.4 A composer's style is formed from the interrelationship between his personality and his own period.5 There is no need to argue about the part that an interpreter plays.6 Most contemporary first class musicians have instruments which are very satisfactory for them to meet any challenge in a composition.7 The musical notation cannot be the exact transcription of a composer's thought both because it is ambiguous and because it provides freedom for personal taste and choice.8 The joint efforts of composer and interpreter have significance only when they are appreciated by listeners who understand music. That indicates that the hearer is under an obligation to fully understand music.9It is unquestionable that he tried to suggest by that piece of wit that only when a hearer throws himself into music will be significant to music and its composers.。
