1.The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy. It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2.Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3.The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when he/she is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can be he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4.Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against that stands against love.Power in the best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5.At that time, economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made(or how wealthy he was).6.The absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7.It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, because they are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8.When the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.When the unfair practice of judging human value by the amount of money a person has got is done away with.9.He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality. Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10.Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practices racial as racial discrimination.1.I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size.I imagined myself being different types of prodigy, trying to find out which type would best suit me.2.I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts.Some new thoughts came to my mind, thoughts that I deliberately wanted to be disobedient, or to be more exact, thoughts that I would say lots of “ I won’t …” to my mother.3.The girl had a sauciness of a Shirley Temple.The girl was somewhat like Shirley Temple, a bit rude, but in an amusing way.4.It felt like worms and toads and slimy things crawling out of my chest, but it also felt good, as if this awful side of me had surfaced, at last. While saying these, I was scared as if some very unpleasant, horrible things had got out of my chest; but at the same time, I felt a bit delighted for I was finally able to make this awful part of me known to my mother.5.And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point, I wanted to see it spill over.And I could feel that her anger was coming to the point where her endurance and self-control would collapse, but I wanted to see what exactly she would do when that happened.6.The lid to the piano was closed, shutting out the dust, my misery, and her dreams.When the lid to the piano was closed, it not only shut out the dust but also put an end to my misery and my mother’s dreams as well.1.Yet globalization… Is a reality, not a choice.However, as one report said, globalization “is now an ordinary fact of life, not something one can choose to have or not.”2.Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups favored by the general public have appeared in large numbers to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign “cultural assault.”3.Where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand.Where the two trends- the dislike and fear of things foreign and the desire to build China into one of a powerful, industrialized economy- have often contended with each other for dominance.4.Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work. Those people in countries like China should continue to live a backward life while we ourselves will enjoya comfortable life with all modern facilities.5.Westernization is a phenomenon shot through with inconsistencies and populated by very strange bedfellows.Westernization is a concept full of self-contradictions and held by people of very different backgrounds and views.6.You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.You don’t have to look fashionable or attractive in order to find out what will be the future trend; you only need to be observant and be able to make judgments about it.7.He was up in the cybersphere far above the level of time zones.He was playing the game on the Internet with people living in different parts of the world, an activity that goes far beyond the limit of time zones.8.In the first two weeks of business the Gucci Store took in a surprising $100,000.In the first two weeks after starting business in Shanghai, the Gucci Store made as much as $100,000, a surprisingly large amount of money.9.Early on I realized that I was going to need some type of compass to guide me through the wilds of global culture.Early before that/ From the very beginning I realized I was going to need some guidance that would lead me through the rich and wide variety of global cultures.10.The penitence may have been Jewish, but the aspiration was universal.The way of expressing repentance may have been characteristic of the Jews, but the desire for forgiveness from God was common to people of all cultures.1.Pianos and models, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, masters and mistresses, are not needed by writer. Unlike a pianist or a painter who must have a piano or hire models, or visit famous cities like Paris, Vienna and Berlin, or to be taught by masters and mistresses, a writer does not need all this.2.she would have plucked the heart out of my writing.Those conventional attitudes and beliefs( represented by the Angel) would have taken away the essence/ soul of my writing.3.Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. Thus whenever I felt the influence of traditional Victorian values and attitudes( about gender roles) on my writing, I fought back with all my power.4.For though men sensibly allow themselves great freedom in these respects, I doubt that they realize or can control the extreme severity with which they condemn such freedom in women.This is because, even though men readily allow themselves full freedom in speaking or writing about such as the body and passions, I don’t think they realize how severely they condemn or can control their extremely severe condemnation of, such freedom in women.5.Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write a book without findinga phantom to be slain, a rock to be dashed against.No doubt, it will still take a long time, as I believe, before women are finally able to enjoy the freedom of writing without having to fight those conventional values, beliefs and prejudices that are unfavorable to them.6. Even when the path is nominally open-when there is nothing to prevent a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant -there are many phantoms and obstacles, as I believe, looming in her way.Even though the path is now open to women in name only, when they have the freedom to choose to be a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant, I believe that there still exist many false ideas and obstacles to impede a woman’s progress.7.You have won rooms of your own in the house hitherto exclusively owned by men.By fighting against the Angel in the House and through your painstaking efforts, you have gained a position and some freedom in a society which has so far been dominated by men.1.It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.It took me a long time to get rid of illusions and realize the simple and apparent truth that I am nobody but myself. It was a painful process. I started with high expectations only to be deeply disappointed and thoroughly disillusioned.2.And yet I am no freak of nature, nor of history. I was in the cards, other things having been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago. I am perfectly normal physically and I am a natural product of history; my growth reflects history. When things seemed likely to happen to me, other things has been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago.3.Abouteighty-five years ago they were told that they were free, united with others of our co untry in everything pertaining to the common good, and in everything social, separate like the fingers of the hand.About85 years ago, they were told that they were freed from slavery and became united withthe white people in all the essential things having to do with the common interests of our country, but in social life the blacks and whites still remain separated.4.In those pre-invisible days I visualized myself as a potential Booker T. Washington.Inthose days before I realized I was an invisible man, I imagined that I would become a successful man like Booker T. Washington.5.Iwanted at one and the same time to run from the room, to sink through the floor, orgo to her and cover her from my eyes of the others with my body; to feel the soft thighs, tocaress her and destroy her, to love her and murder her.Onthe one hand, I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to run away from the ballroom. On t he other hand I took pity on the girl and so wanted to protect the naked girl from the eyes of the other men.I wanted to love her tenderly because she was an attractive girl, but at the same time I wanted to destroy her because after all she was the immediate cause of our embarrassment.6.Should I try to win against the voice out there Would not this go against my speech , and was not this a moment for humility, for nonresistanceIfI should try my best and win the fight, then I would be winning against the bet of t hat white man, who shouted “I got my money on the big boy. " In that case I would not behave with humility, and yet my speech talked about humility as the essence of success. So maybe I should let that big boy win without putting up resistance, for this was time for me to show humility.7. “ Cast down your bucket where you are” - cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.Makefull use of what you have and do the best you can. Take this attitude in making frien ds in every honorable way, making friends with people of different races among whom we live.8.“Youweren't being smart, were you, boy" "We mean to do right by you, but you've got to know your place at all times.”Youwere not trying to seem clever in a disrespectful way, were you, boy We intend to do the right thing by setting you up as role model, but you must never forget who you are.1. And I was conscious of his superiority in a way which was embarrassing and led to trouble.I knew that Oppenheimer was a man of great talent his way of showing his talent at seminars caused uneasiness and resentment among people, especially among his fellow students.2.This did not seem to be the sort of anecdote that would go over especially well at a conferenc e devotes to poetry.Sincethose attending the conference were people devoted to poetry, such an anecdote, though interesting, might not be appreciated by the audience.3.Pittedagainst these excellent reasons for my not going to the conference were two others that finally carried the day.Thesewere two reasons for my going to the conference ser against the reasons for my not goi ng and they became decisive in my final decision.4.Heis, for me, one of those people whose writing about their writing is more interesting than their writing itself.Accordingto my view, Spender belongs to the group whose writings about their lives, experiences that is whose autobiographies, are more interesting than their literary works.5.Auden’sDirac-like lucidity, the sheer wonder of the language, and the sense of fun about serious things …Were to me irresistible. Like Dirac, Auden was outstanding in clarity. He was also outstanding in the powerful use of the language and the sense of fun about serious issues. All these greatly fascinated me.6.Spender’sjournal entry on his visit is fascinating both for what it says and for what it does not say.Spender’srecord of this visit is interesting not only because of the things he mentions but also because of the things he doesn’t say.7.Oppenheimer appears in Spender’s journal as a disembodied figure with no contextual relevance to Spender’s own life.In his book Spender fails to give a connected, complete picture of Oppenheimer and does nit mention that Oppenheimer’s background and situation has quite a lot to do with Spender.8.The real thing was much better.The real person looked much better than the pictures.9.One probably should not read too much into appearance.Maybe one should not attach too much importance to appearance.10. He had outlived them all, but was still under their shadow, especially that of Auden…He had lived longer than any of his more famous friends but traces or influences of these frie nds, especially those of Auden, could still be found on him.1. Your imagination comes to life, and this, you think,is where Creation was begun.Thelandscape makes your imagination vivid and lifelike, and you believe that the creation of the whole universe was begun right here.2.Butwarfare for the Kiowas was preeminently a matter of disposition rather than of survival, and they never understood the grim ,unrelenting advance of the . Cavalry.TheKiowas often fought just because they were good warriors, because they fought out of hab it, character, nature, not because they needed extra lands or material gains for the sake of surviving andthriving. And they could not understand why the . Cavalry never gave up pushing forward even when they had won a battle.3.Mygrandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years. Luckilymy grandmother did not suffer the humiliation of being put into a closure for holding a nimals, for she was born eight or ten years after the event.4. It was a long journey toward dawn, and it led to a golden age.They moved toward the east, where the sun rises, and also toward the beginning of a new culture, which led to the treatest moment of their history.5.Theyacquired horses, and their ancient nomadic spirit was suddenly free of the ground.Nowthey got horses. Riding on horseback, instead of walking on football, gave them this new freedom of movement, thus completely liberating their ancient nomadic spirit.6.Fromone point of view, their migration was the fruits of an old prophecy, for indeed they emerged from a sunless world.In a sense, their migration confirmed the ancient myth that they entered the world from a hollow log, for they did emerge from the sunless world of the mountains.7.TheKiowas reckoned their stature by the distance they could see, and they were bent andblind in the wilderness.Theirstature was measured by the distance they could see. Yet, because of the dense forests, they could not see very far, and they could hardly stand straight.8.Clustersof trees and animals grazing far in the distance cause the vision to reach away andwonder to build upon the mind. The earth unfolds and the limit of the land is far in the distance, where there are clusters of trees and animals eating grass. This landscape makes one see far and broadens one's horizon.9. Notyet would they veer southward to the caldron of the land that lay below;they must wean their blood from the northern winter and hold the mountains a while longer in their view.Theywould not yet change the direction southward to the land lying below which was like a large kettle. First they must give their bodies some time to get used to the plains. Secondly, they did not want to lose sight of the mountains so soon.10.Iwas never sure that I had the right to hear, so exclusive were they of all merely cu stom and company.Iwas not sure that I had any right to overhear her praying, which did not follow any c ustomary way of praying, add which I guess she did not want anyone else to hear.11. Transported so in the dancing light among the shadows of her room she seemed beyond the reach of time. But that was illusion; I think I knew then that I should not see her again.Inthis way she was entranced in the dancing light among the shadows of her room, and she seemed to be timeless(what sh represented would last forever)12.The women might indulge themselves; gossip was at once the mark and compensation of their servitude.On these special occasions, women might make loud and elaborate jokes and talk among themselves. Their gossip revaeled their position as servants of men and a reward for their servitude.。

Opportunities and Challenges of GlobalizationGlobalization presents both opportunities and challenges in today's interconnected world. On one hand, globalization fosters economic growth by facilitating international trade and investment. It enables companies to access new markets and consumers, leading to increased productivity and innovation. Moreover, globalization promotes cultural exchange and understanding, as people from different parts of the world interact and learn from each other's traditions and perspectives.However, globalization also brings challenges. Economic globalization can lead to income inequality, as wealth may concentrate in the hands of a few while others struggle to make ends meet. Additionally, globalization can result in cultural homogenization, as dominant cultures overshadow and erode local traditions and languages. Furthermore, globalization exacerbates environmental issues, as increased production and consumption contribute to pollution and resource depletion.In conclusion, while globalization offersopportunities for economic development and cultural exchange, it also poses challenges such as income inequality, cultural homogenization, and environmental degradation. It is essential for policymakers to address these challenges effectively to ensure that globalization benefits all individuals and preserves the diversity of our world.译文:全球化的机遇与挑战全球化在当今互联互通的世界中既带来机遇,也带来挑战。
课文A世界经济发展世界经济比以往任何时候都更富裕,但是国家内部与国家之间财富显然分布不均衡。
世界上最富裕国家如卢森堡的年人均收入比世界最贫穷国家如塞纳里昂年人均收入高出一百多倍。
国与国之间经济发展不平衡倾向表现各异。
20世纪50、60年代,发展中国家经济获得了飞速而持续的发展。
然而,自80年代以来,除了少数几个主要亚洲国家经济成功地获得快速发展、更多全球开放市场外,其他发展中国家面临了经济不稳,社会福利收效甚微的问题。
全球化并没有缩小贫富国家收入差异。
富裕国家比贫困国家往往能更优先进入资本市场,吸引更多外国资本直接投资,更有弹性地应对全球商品市场。
现在,埃塞俄比亚居民平均收入不及出生于欧洲或美国居民的1/35,而在50年代,埃塞俄比亚人均收入是发达国家人均收入的1/16。
同样,美国目前人均收入比尼伯尔人均收入从50年代的19倍上升到了27倍。
世界上大多数最贫困国家或多或少在某种程度上相对滞后。
尤其是70年代中期以来,发展中国家经济增长进入停滞与不稳定的交替期,只有少数几个发展中国家在最近几十年能持续增长,这些国家中尤以两个世界人口大国中国和印度著名。
中国可以看作是成功进行体制改革的例子。
20世纪70年代后期改革开放以来,中国经济一直保持了高速发展。
除一些社会、经济不稳定因素之外,最近20年,中国经济改革所取得的成就解决了几千万人的温饱问题。
因为没有现存的改革经验可借鉴,中国经济改革的过程被看作是“摸着石头过河”。
实际上,经济发展是改革的落脚点和最终目标。
中国经济体制改革是以全面提高经济效益为目的,依靠发挥个人积极性,培育各种类型的市场竞争。
通常,中国向市场经济的转型过程是个缓慢的经济改革过程,表现在三个不同时期。
第一个时期从1978年至1993年,改革主要是改善激励机制和扩大市场对资源的配置范围。
这一时期以成功进行农业体制改革和双重价格体系改革为特点;第二个时期开始于1994年,这一时期中国政府决定把最终建立现代市场经济体制作为改革目标;最新时期,重点是处理好由于经济增长所带来的地区差异和贫富悬殊。
英语后缀“化”字和常用副词的译法及其他英语后缀“化”字和常用副词的译法及其他在历届人大和党代表大会上,在阐述我国内政治经济情况时,后缀“化”字出现的频率相当高。
如何把它译成合适的英文,一直是翻译界热衷探讨的题目。
这里虽没有“一刀切”的译法,但简单地以“zation”译“化”,显然是行不通的。
虽然在不少情况下可直译为“zation”,如现代化 modernization,工业化 industrilization,全球化globalization,城市化 urbanization 和市场多样化 market diversification 等,但例外的情况也很多,不能凡遇到“化”就套用“zation”。
比如,“国际关系民主化”,如译为 International relations should the domocratized 则意思就走样了。
应改成 Democracy should be practised in international relations才对。
“以信息化为主导”,译成 takeinformationization as the driving force是可以的,但译“国民经济信息化”就应作一些改变,应译成 an information-based national economy。
而“农业信息化”则要译成 apply IT extensively to agricultural development。
可见同样是“信息化”,在三种句子中可有三种不同的译法。
“社会知识化”的译文是 build a knowledge-driven society。
人们经常提“科研成果产业化”,可译为 apply scientific research results to industrialproduction。
有人提“科研成果市场化”,可译为 gear scientific and technological achievements to the market,或 commercialize scientific and technologicalachievements。
2021届高考英语词义猜测题题型分类与练习1.词义猜测题——多措并举猜词义此类试题主要考查在特定语境中对生词或熟词生义的猜测能力。
做此类试题通常采用同义解释法,因果推断法、前后对比法、定义释例法、基本构词法和语境理解法。
总之,对于任何词汇的猜测都要基于对特定的语境理解和对主题的恰当把握。
(1)利用构词法猜词阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词,考生可以根据构词法猜测词义。
例题:In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.根据构词法知识可知,-zation为动词构成名词的后缀,意为“……化”,因此,可猜测industrialization为“工业化”之意,而globalization的含义为_全球化__。
(2)利用同义近义词猜词在生词所出现的上下文中,有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构,这时可从熟悉的词语中推知生词的含义。
表示同义近义的信号词/词组常见的有:and,or,similarly,likewise 等。
例题:By translating the rich and humorous text of Lo v e's Labour's Lost into the physical language of BSL, Deafinitely Theatre creates a new interpretation of Shakespeare's comedy and aims to build a bridge between deaf and hearing worlds by performing to both groups as one audience.根据上文“By translating the rich and humourous text of Love's Labour's Lost into the physical language of BSL”中的translating可知,interpretation与translating同义,意为:_翻译__。

While saying these, I was scared as if some very unpleasant, horrible things had got out of my chest; but at the same time, I felt a bit delighted for I was finally able to make this awful part of me known to my mother.And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point, I wanted to see it spill over.And I could feel that her anger was coming to the point where her endurance and self-control would collapse, but I wanted to see what exactly she would do when that happened.The lid to the piano was closed, shutting out the dust, my misery, and her dreams.When the lid to the piano was closed, it not only shut out the dust but also put an end to my misery and my mother’s dreams as well.Yet globalization…Is a reality, not a choice.However, as one report said, globalization “ is now an ordinary fact of life, not something one can choose to have or not.”Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups favored by the general public have appeared in large numbers to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign “cultural assault.”Where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand.Where the two trends- the dislike and fear of things foreign and the desire to build China into one of a powerful, industrialized economy- have often contended with each other for dominance.Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work.Those people in countries like China should continue to live a backward life while we ourselves will enjoy a comfortable life with all modern facilities.Westernization is a phenomenon shot through with inconsistencies and populated by very strange bedfellows.Westernization is a concept full of self-contradictions and held by people of very different backgrounds and views.You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.You don’t have to look fashionable or attractive in order to find out what will be the future trend; you only need to be observant and be able to make judgments about it.He was up in the cybersphere far above the level of time zones.He was playing the game on the Internet with people living in different parts of the world, an activity that goes far beyond the limit of time zones.In the first two weeks of business the Gucci Store took in a surprising $100,000.In the first two weeks after starting business in Shanghai, the Gucci Store made as much as $100,000, a surprisingly large amount of money.Early on I realized that I was going to need some type of compass to guide me through the wilds of global culture.Early before that/ From the very beginning I realized I was going to need some guidance that would lead me through the rich and wide variety of global cultures.The penitence may have been Jewish, but the aspiration was universal.The way of expressing repentance may have been characteristic of the Jews, but the desire for forgiveness from God was common to people of all cultures.Pianos and models, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, masters and mistresses, are not needed by writer.Unlike a pianist or a painter who must have a piano or hire models, or visit famous cities like Paris, Vienna and Berlin, or to be taught by masters and mistresses, a writer does not need all this.she would have plucked the heart out of my writing.Those conventional attitudes and beliefs( represented by the Angel) would have taken away the essence/ soul of my writing.Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. Thus whenever I felt the influence of traditional Victorian values and attitudes( about gender roles) on my writing, I fought back with all my power.For though men sensibly allow themselves great freedom in these respects, I doubt that they realize or can control the extreme severity with which they condemn such freedom in women.This is because, even though men readily allow themselves full freedom in speaking or writing about such as the body and passions, I don’t think they realize how severely they condemn or can control their extremely severe condemnation of, such freedom in women.Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write a book without finding a phantom to be slain, a rock to be dashed against.No doubt, it will still take a long time, as I believe, before women are finally able to enjoy the freedom of writing without having to fight those conventional values, beliefs and prejudices that are unfavorable to them.Even when the path is nominally open- when there is nothing to prevent a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant -there are many phantoms and obstacles, as I believe, looming in her way.Even though the path is now open to women in name only, when they have the freedom to choose to be a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant, I believe that there still exist many false ideas and obstacles to impede a woman’s progress.You have won rooms of your own in the house hitherto exclusively owned by men.By fighting against the Angel in the House and through your painstaking efforts, you have gained a position and some freedom in a society which has so far been dominated by men.It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.It took me a long time to get rid of illusions and realize the simple and apparent truth that I am nobody but myself. It was a painful process. I started with high expectations only to be deeply disappointed and thoroughly disillusioned.And yet I am no freak of nature, nor of history. I was in the cards, other things having been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago.I am perfectly normal physically and I am a natural product of history; my growth reflects history. When things seemed likely to happen to me, other things has been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago.About eighty-five years ago they were told that they were free, united with others of our country in everything pertaining to the common good, and in everything social, separate like the fingers of the hand.About 85 years ago, they were told that they were freed from slavery and became united with the white people in all the essential things having to do with the common interests of our country, but in social life the blacks and whites still remain separated.In those pre-invisible days I visualized myself as a potential Booker T. Washington.In those days before I realized I was an invisible man, I imagined that I would become a successful man like Booker T. Washington.I wanted at one and the same time to run from the room, to sink through the floor, or go to her and cover her from my eyes of the others with my body; to feel the soft thighs, to caress her and destroy her, to love her and murder her.On the one hand, I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to run away from the ballroom. On the other hand I took pity on the girl and so wanted to protect the naked girl from the eyes of the other men. I wanted to love her tenderly because she was an attractivegirl, but at the same time I wanted to destroy her because after all she was the immediate cause of our embarrassment.Should I try to win against the voice out there Would not this go against my speech, and was not this a moment for humility, for nonresistanceIf I should try my best and win the fight, then I would be winning against the bet of that white man, who shouted “ I got my money on the big boy. " In that case I would not behave with humility, and yet my speech talked about humility as the essence of success. So maybe I should let that big boy win without putting up resistance, for this was time for me to show humility.7. “ Cast down your bucket where you are” - cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.Make full use of what you have and do the best you can. Take this attitude in making friends in every honorable way, making friends with people of different races among whom we live.“You weren't being smart, were you, boy" "We mean to do right by you, but you've got to know your place at all times.”You were not trying to seem clever in a disrespectful way, were you, boy We intend to do the right thing by setting you up as role model, but you must never forget who you are.1. And I was conscious of his superiority in a way which was embarrassing and led to trouble.I knew that Oppenheimer was a man of great talent his way of showing his talent at seminars caused uneasiness and resentment among people, especially among his fellow students.This did not seem to be the sort of anecdote that would go over especially well at a conference devotes to poetry.Since those attending the conference were people devoted to poetry, such an anecdote, though interesting, might not be appreciated by the audience.Pitted against these excellent reasons for my not going to the conference were two others that finally carried the day.These were two reasons for my going to the conference ser against the reasons for my not going and they became decisive in my final decision.He is, for me, one of those people whose writing about their writing is more interesting than their writing itself.According to my view, Spender belongs to the group whose writings about their lives, experiences that is whose autobiographies, are more interesting than their literary works.Auden’s Dirac-like lucidity, the sheer wonder of the language, and the sense of fun about serious things …Were to me irresistible. Like Dirac, Auden was outstanding in clarity. He was also outstanding in the powerful use of the language and the sense of fun about serious issues. All these greatly fascinated me.Spender’s journal entry on his visit is fascinating both for what it says and for what it does not say.Spender’s record of this visit is interesting not only because of the things he mentions but also because of the things he doesn’t say.Oppenheimer appears in Spender’s journal as a disembodied figure with no contextual relevance to Spender’s own life.In his book Spender fails to give a connected, complete picture of Oppenheimer and does nit mention that Oppenheimer’s background and situation has quite a lot to do with Spender.The real thing was much better.The real person looked much better than the pictures.One probably should not read too much into appearance.Maybe one should not attach too much importance to appearance.10. He had outlived them all, but was still under their shadow, especially that of Auden…He had lived longer than any of his more famous friends but traces or influences of these friends, especially those of Auden, could still be found on him.1. Your imagination comes to life, and this, you think,is where Creation was begun.The landscape makes your imagination vivid and lifelike, and you believe that the creation of the whole universe was begun right here.But warfare for the Kiowas was preeminently a matter of disposition rather than of survival, and they never understood the grim ,unrelenting advance of the . Cavalry.The Kiowas often fought just because they were good warriors, because they fought out of habit, character, nature, not because they needed extra lands or material gains for the sake of surviving and thriving. And they could not understand whythe . Cavalry never gave up pushing forward even when they had won a battle.My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years.Luckily my grandmother did not suffer the humiliation of being put into a closure for holding animals, for she was born eight or ten years after the event.4. It was a long journey toward dawn, and it led to a golden age.They moved toward the east, where the sun rises, and also toward the beginning of a new culture, which led to the treatest moment of their history.They acquired horses, and their ancient nomadic spirit was suddenly free of the ground.Now they got horses. Riding on horseback, instead of walking on football, gave them this new freedom of movement, thus completely liberating their ancient nomadic spirit.From one point of view, their migration was the fruits of an old prophecy, for indeed they emerged from a sunless world.In a sense, their migration confirmed the ancient myth that they entered the world from a hollow log, for they did emerge from the sunless world of the mountains.The Kiowas reckoned their stature by the distance they could see, and they were bent and blind in the wilderness.Their stature was measured by the distance they could see. Yet, because of the dense forests, they could not see very far, and they could hardly stand straight.Clusters of trees and animals grazing far in the distance cause the vision to reach away and wonder to build upon the mind. The earth unfolds and the limit of the land is far in the distance, where there are clusters of trees and animals eating grass. This landscape makes one see far and broadens one's horizon.9. Not yet would they veer southward to the caldron of the land that lay below;they must wean their blood from the northern winter and hold the mountains a while longer in their view.They would not yet change the direction southward to the land lying below which was like a large kettle. First they must give their bodies some time to get used to the plains. Secondly, they did not want to lose sight of the mountains so soon.I was never sure that I had the right to hear, so exclusive were they of all merely custom and company.I was not sure that I had any right to overhear her praying, which did not follow any customary way of praying, add which Iguess she did not want anyone else to hear.11. Transported so in the dancing light among the shadows of her room she seemed beyond the reach of time. But that was illusion; I think I knew then that I should not see her again.In this way she was entranced in the dancing light among the shadows of her room, and she seemed to be timeless(what sh represented would last forever)The women might indulge themselves; gossip was at once the mark and compensation of their servitude.On these special occasions, women might make loud and elaborate jokes and talk among themselves. Their gossip revaeled their position as servants of men and a reward for their servitude.。
globalization英语作文第一篇:globalization英语作文范文(一)Nowadays we can enjoy the same films, fashions, brands, advertisements and TV channels.The evident difference between countries is disappearing.To what extent do you think the disadvantages overweight the advantages of this?Globalization creates conditions for widening international exchanges, strengthening mutual understanding between nations, expanding cultural, educational, and scientific cooperation between nations and countries, enjoying the cultural achievements of people around the world which encourages the process of modernization and the enrichment of national culture.However, these conditions also create the possible danger of diminishing the national culture with a negative impact on the pre123vation of national identity.Through globalization and an open door policy, erroneous concepts and a lowering of ethical standards, a selfish and individualistic lifestyle and harmful cultural products can easily be imported into the country.At present, modern information technology which in the main is controlled by US is hourly and intensively disseminating US ideology, way of life, culture and films across the world.Even US food is promoted so that some people consider globalization as global Americanization.During the process of economic globalization, inequality between developed and developing countries has been increasing and the gap between the rich and the poor has become wider, most of the result of globalization go to assist developed countries.Globalization does not pose equal interests and risks to all nations.With an overwhelmingadvantage compared to most of the developing countries in terms of finance and the level of science and technology, developed ca123alist countries control the situation of economic globalization.For these reasons, globalization is a fierce and complicated struggle in both cultural and ideological fields.We take the initiative in international economic integration but also have to take the initiative in fighting to keep our distinct culture resisting pro-foreign and cross-bred phenomena, and overcoming the psychology of preferring money over ethical values.第二篇:英语作文中国全球化Globalization in ChinaGlobalization in China the global connectionis growing and human beings live on the basis of global scale and global consciousness.The relation of countries depends on each other in political and economic trade.With the development of the Internet and the traffic is more convenient, the globalization has gradually entered people's life.In China, after the opium war, we began to integrate into the global market.But the real trend of globalization should be after the reform and opening up.When China joined the WTO in 2001, China's economy moved towards globalization.In2004, The Beijing consensus, which was different from the “Washington consensus”, is a development model which is in line with China's own national conditions.In the face of globalization, we have four problems to be solved, such as economic development, ecological environment, political system reform and social problems.For example, in Jack ma’s recent speech, he mentioned the differences between globalization and internationalization.He thinks that most of today's Chinese companies are internationalizing rather than globalizing.Internationalization is going out, but globalization isthinking from a global perspective.This is A common problemin our process of development.Although China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, the process of globalization has not been enough.Economicand political reforms must be carried out to make great progress.第三篇:SunningGlobalizationGlobalization:Challenges and Opportunities for China’s Younger GenerationSun NingGood morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.T oday I’m very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topic of Globalization.And first of all, I would like to mention an event in our recent history.Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time.Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, “Your handshake came over the vastest oceanin the world---twenty-five years of no communication.” Ever since then, China and America have exchanged many handshakes of various kinds.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need and desire to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists and seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world’s economy, and diplom ats and politicians are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peach and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend ofglobalization is the echo of E.M.Forster’s words,“Only connect!”With the IT revolution taking place, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into a large melting pot of humanity.In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integrating onto the world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participation in and contribution to a broader economic order.From the precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of the world people aredemonstrationg against globalization.Are they justified then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables developed nation s to swallow the developing nation’s wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest interest in every other nation’s economic heath.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable policy.The are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from theplanned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our minds to bigger issues.And there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.Thank you.第四篇:全球化Globalization英文论述Globalization Globalization is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas and other aspects of culture.Advances in transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the telegraph and its posterity the Internet, are major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities.World have connection into a whole, forming a global village.Nowadays no one nation can go out of the world and the development of the closed.Economic globalization:Economic globalization is the increasing economic interdependence of national economies across the world through a rapid increase in cross-border movement of goods, service, technology and capital.Whereas the globalizationof business is centered around the diminution of international trade regulations as well as tariffs, taxes, and other impediments that suppresses global trade, economic globalization is the process of increasing economic integration between countries, leading to the emergence of a global marketplace or a single world market.The world economy is very close.A country's economic crisis is likely to affect the worldsocio-cultural globalization:Cultural globalization has increased cross-cultural contacts but may be accompanied by a decrease in the uniqueness of once-isolated communities.Such as rock, jeans, such as Coca-Cola spread around the world.For example, sushi is available in Germany as well as Japan but Euro-Disney outdraws the city of Paris, potentially reducing demand for “authentic” French pastry.Globalization's contribution to the alienation of individuals from their traditions may be modest compared to the impact of modernity itself.Globalization has expanded recreational opportunities by spreading pop culture, particularly via the Internet and satellite television.the Internet connects computer users around the world.From 2000 to 2009, the number of Internet users globally rose from 394 million to 1.858 billion.By 2010, 22 percent of the world's population had access to computers with 1 billion Google searches every day, 300 million Internet users reading blogs, and 2 billion videos viewed daily on YouTube.The example of globalization:AIRBUS,ADIDAS.Globalization has a lot of good or bad influence to us.First talk about the positive: worldwide the number of common standards;the growth of international trade faster than the world economic growth;the proportion of multinational companies in the world economy;the development of the global financial system;and More and more international culturalinfluence, such as through the export of Hollywood movies;promote the development of international tourism;a lot of information resources sharing via the Internet.The bad influence is the widening gap between the rich and poor;the increase of illegal immigrants;The expansion of terrorism;Its unemployment rate increaseThe Finally, statement about my point of view.The trend of globalization is irreversible, we should conform to this trend, we should not go against globalization.If you resist the globalization is obvious, north Korea is resist globalization, so the economy is backward, and there also very miserably of people's life.Globalization makes countries can share resources, cheap goods, technology have very convenient also, human resources also can free flow between countries, promote the prosperity of the national economy.At the same time, also promote the spread of cultural globalization, cultural communication is also more frequently, is conducive to the development of national culture.Although a lot of the benefits of globalization, but also should pay attention to protect our country own business brand, technology, enhance the value of the independent brand, pay attention to brand building, in this way, can we have their own advantages in the globalization.第五篇:口语情景对话:全球化 GlobalizationTodd: OK.Jamie.We're back.杰米,我们开始吧。
globalization英语范文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Globalization: The Big World Getting SmallerHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about this thing called "globalization." It's a big word, I know, but it's really important to understand.Globalization is all about how the whole world is becoming more connected and integrated. It's kind of like having a ton of neighbors that live really close by instead of being far apart. Thanks to better technology, communication, transportation and trade, people across different countries are able to interact and share things more easily than ever before.One big part of globalization is the flow of information and ideas around the globe. With the internet, social media, television and phones, we can learn about different cultures, languages, and ways of life instantly. My best friend Sofia lives in Brazil but we chat on WhatsApp every day and swap silly memes. I've even learned some Portuguese words from her!It also means that products, services and investments can cross borders really quickly. The smartphone my mom uses was designed in California but manufactured in China with parts from all over. The cool video games I play are created by developers in multiple countries working together online. When my dad needs something for his business, he can get it shipped from the other side of the world in just a couple of days!Globalization has brought some awesome things to our lives too. We can enjoy amazing foods, music, movies, and traditions from every corner of the earth. The variety of fruits and vegetables at our grocery store is way more diverse than what my grandparents had when they were kids. At my school, we have friends from all sorts of backgrounds - Indian, Mexican, Korean, you name it! Learning about their cultures makes life so much more interesting.However, there are some downsides to globalization that get people worried. One is that local industries can get outcompeted by bigger, foreign companies. My grandpa says a lot of the factories in our town closed down because it was cheaper to get products made overseas. This can make it harder for some people to find jobs.Another issue is that globalization can spread problems like diseases, environmental damage and security threats more easily between countries. If there's an outbreak of a virus in one place, it can quickly make its way around the world through travel and trade. Or if a company pollutes the environment in one country, it could affect people in many other places too.Some people are also concerned that globalization may cause cultural identities to become diluted or wiped out. With so much intermixing and exchange between societies, there's a fear that the unique traditions and ways of life that different groups have could get overpowered.Those are some of the major pros and cons, at least from what I can understand as a 10-year-old! Globalization is clearly a very big and complex force shaping the modern world we live in. It has brought incredible progress in many ways, allowing people to connect, share and innovate together at an astonishing rate and scale. But there are also valid concerns around security, job impacts and cultural preservation that need to be addressed carefully.What's most important is that we keep learning about how our world is becoming increasingly globalized. We should be open to ideas, experiences and opportunities from diversesources. But we should also work hard to protect the good things about our local communities and identities too. With understanding and wisdom, I'm hopeful that the upsides of globalization can be maximized while minimizing the downsides.Because at the end of the day, one of the greatest things about our globalized world is that kids like me have a chance to make friends across the entire globe. And who knows, maybe those friends will turn into the leaders, innovators and peacemakers that help make this big, tiny world we all share an even better place! Thanks for reading!篇2Globalization: The World is Getting SmallerHave you ever eaten a banana from Costa Rica or worn at-shirt made in Vietnam? Have you played with a toy manufactured in China or watched a movie made in India? If so, then you've experienced globalization firsthand!Globalization is all about how the world is becoming more and more interconnected. It's like the whole planet is shrinking into one big neighborhood where people, products, ideas, and cultures can easily travel from one country to another.In the past, different parts of the world were really isolated and disconnected from each other. People might go their whole lives without seeing or experiencing anything from outside their own town or region. But nowadays, thanks to faster transportation, cheaper travel, and cutting-edge communication technologies, we can connect with people and access information from all corners of the globe in the blink of an eye.My favorite example of globalization is food. I love eating foods from different cultures that come from the other side of the world. My mom buys mangoes from Mexico, curry powder from India, chocolate from Switzerland, and rice noodles from Thailand. Just by going to our local supermarket, we get to sample flavors and ingredients from everywhere!Another area where I really see globalization at work is with brands and products. The toys I play with, the clothes I wear, the electronics my family uses – they all come from different countries around the world. My soccer ball was made in Pakistan, my backpack was assembled in Vietnam, and our TV was manufactured in South Korea. Companies have suppliers, factories, and operations scattered all over the planet now.One of the coolest things about globalization is how it allows ideas, trends, and pop culture to spread rapidly worldwide. Imight learn the latest viral dance craze that started in South Korea, or get really into an anime cartoon series that originated in Japan. My older sister follows British YouTubers and lovesK-pop music from Korean boy bands. We can instantly access movies, TV shows, music, and entertainment from every corner of the world on our devices.But overall, I think globalization is an amazing thing that connects the human family like never before. We're all becoming more aware of how every part of the world is interdependent and interlinked in today's globalized society. Learning about diverse beliefs, customs, foods, entertainment, and ways of life expands our perspectives and brings us closer together.Who knows, maybe one day we'll have a completely unified world with a common language, currency, and culture influenced by the very best from every nation on Earth! For now though, I'm just really grateful that globalization allows me to enjoy Chile's dulce de leche caramel, listen to K-pop from South Korea, watch movies from Bollywood in India, play soccer with a ball from Pakistan, and wear super cool sneakers designed in America but manufactured in Vietnam. What an amazingly interconnected world we live in!篇3Globalization: Bringing the World Closer TogetherHi there! My name is Emily, and I'm a 10-year-old student who loves learning about the world. Today, I want to talk to you about something called globalization. It's a big word, but it's really interesting!Globalization means that people, cultures, and countries are becoming more connected and interdependent than ever before. It's like a giant web that ties everyone together, no matter where they live or what language they speak.One of the coolest things about globalization is that it allows us to share ideas, knowledge, and experiences with people from all over the globe. Imagine being able to learn about different cultures, try new foods, and even make friends with kids from other countries, all without leaving your hometown!For example, let's say I want to learn about traditional Japanese art. Thanks to globalization, I can easily find information online, watch videos, or even take virtual tours of museums in Japan. It's like having the whole world at my fingertips!But globalization isn't just about sharing information; it's also about connecting people and businesses. Have you everwondered where the clothes you wear or the toys you play with come from? Chances are, they were made in another country and shipped to your local store. This is all thanks to global trade and transportation networks that make it possible to move goods and services across borders.Another cool thing about globalization is that it can help solve some of the world's biggest problems. Scientists, researchers, and experts from different countries can work together to tackle issues like climate change, disease outbreaks, or finding new sources of energy. By combining their knowledge and resources, they have a better chance of finding solutions that can benefit everyone.But overall, I think the benefits of globalization outweigh the challenges. It's helping to create a more connected, understanding, and collaborative world. And who knows, maybe one day, thanks to globalization, I'll get to visit some of the amazing places I've learned about and make friends from all around the globe!That's my take on globalization. It's a complex topic, but I hope I've given you a better understanding of what it means and why it's so important in our modern world. Remember, we're allpart of one big global community, and by working together, we can make the world a better place for everyone.篇4Globalization: The World Gets SmallerHi there! My name is Alex, and I'm 10 years old. Today, I want to talk to you about something called "globalization." It's a big word, but it's really important for understanding the world we live in.Globalization means that the whole world is becoming more connected. People, products, ideas, and cultures are moving around the planet more than ever before. It's like the world is getting smaller, and we're all becoming closer neighbors.One big part of globalization is trade. Different countries buy and sell products from each other. For example, the shirt you're wearing might have been made in China, and the bananas you had for breakfast might have come from Costa Rica. Thanks to huge cargo ships and planes, we can get goods from all over the world!Technology is another driving force behind globalization. The internet allows people to communicate and shareinformation instantly, no matter how far apart they are. I can video chat with my cousin in Australia or watch a movie made in France, all from my living room!Globalization also means that people are moving around the world more than ever before. Some families immigrate to new countries for better opportunities, while others travel as tourists to experience different cultures. In my class, there are kids whose families came from India, Mexico, and Somalia. It's so cool to learn about their traditions and backgrounds!Still, I think the positives of globalization outweigh the negatives. The world is an amazing place with so many different people, foods, languages, and ideas to explore. Globalization helps us appreciate and learn from each other's differences. It also allows us to work together to solve big problems that affect everyone on our tiny planet, like climate change and disease.Who knows, maybe one day I'll get to visit the Great Pyramids in Egypt, eat authentic pizza in Italy, and see a tech company in Silicon Valley that's changing the world – all in the same trip! With globalization, the possibilities are endless.The world is shrinking, but that means more opportunities to explore, create, and connect with others. I'm excited to see howour global community keeps growing together. As they say, "It's a small world after all!"篇5Globalization: The World is Getting SmallerHave you ever eaten a banana from Costa Rica or worn a shirt made in Bangladesh? If so, you've experienced globalization! Globalization is the idea that the world is becoming more connected and things can travel all over the planet. It means goods, services, money, people, and ideas spread between different countries. Let me tell you more about this fascinating topic.One big part of globalization is trade. Countries buy and sell things from each other way more than they used to. My family buys a lot of stuff from other countries - my dad's smartphone was made in China, my mom's sweater was knitted in Peru, and the rice in our kitchen comes from Thailand. All that travel for our stuff!Trade happens because countries are good at making different things. Ecuador is awesome at growing bananas, so they sell a ton to other countries. Japan builds really nice carsthat get shipped worldwide. By trading, we can get all sorts of goods that aren't made in our own country.But globalization isn't just about trading objects. Ideas and culture spread around too. I love watching anime cartoons from Japan and listening to K-pop music from South Korea. My friend's family celebrates Diwali, an important holiday from India. People all over share their traditions, foods, music, and more these days.Globalization makes it easier for people to travel too. My aunt is an engineer who gets hired to build things in different countries for months at a time. Some families even move across the world for jobs and opportunities. People migrate and bring their customs with them, mixing cultures in new places.Communication is spreading globally as well. My grandparents used to have to wait weeks for letters from relatives overseas. Now we can video chat with them instantly! The internet allows people anywhere to connect and share information quickly. We can learn about faraway places at the click of a button.Still, I think the increased connections from globalization are mostly positive. It's cool to share ideas and try new foods, music, and clothing styles from other cultures. Getting fresh fruits fromwarm countries in the winter is awesome. And being able to travel and communicate globally expands our world.The earth feels a little smaller and more united when we're globalized. People in different lands realize we're all human and have lots in common, despite our differences. We can learn from each other's perspectives. Maybe someday the whole world will be connected as one big family. Now how's that for a big idea?篇6Globalization: The Exciting World Getting CloserHi there! My name is Emily and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about this super interesting thing called "globalization." It's a big word, I know, but it's actually a pretty cool concept once you understand it.Globalization basically means that the whole world is becoming more and more connected. The different countries, cultures, economies, and people are all interacting and influencing each other way more than they used to. It's kind of like having one massive community of everyone on planet Earth!One big part of globalization is how we can now communicate and share information with people all over theglobe. Can you imagine having pen pals or gaming buddies living on totally different continents? That would have been unheard of back in the old days. But today, thanks to the internet, smartphones, and apps like Skype, FaceTime, and WhatsApp, keeping in touch with someone on the other side of the world is easy peasy!Another major part of globalization is how we can access products, entertainment, foods, and lifestyles from different cultures. At the mall near my house, you can buy clothes and toys from China, watch movies from India, eat sushi from Japan, and listen to K-pop music from South Korea. Heck, the food court has Mexican tacos, Italian pizza, Greek gyros, and American burgers all in one place! It's like the whole world's awesomeness got packaged up and delivered to our neighborhood.Globalization has also helped spread important ideas about human rights, protecting the environment, and promoting equality around the planet. Groups and activists can now raise awareness for great causes on a global scale through online campaigns and by organizing events across different nations. Even kids like me can get involved by fundraising or volunteering for international charities.While this increasing connectedness and integration among countries has lots of benefits, globalization isn't always perfect either. Sometimes there are disagreements over trade deals or foreign policies that can cause tensions between world leaders. There are concerns about jobs getting outsourced overseas and the effect of globalization on local cultures or traditions too. Not to mention, global problems like climate change and pandemics become way trickier to solve when so many places are interlinked.But if you ask me, the positives of globalization outweigh the negatives. Our world has never been so unified and full of opportunities to mix different perspectives, make friends internationally, and become more understanding of how people live in other parts of the globe. We're all residents of Earth at the end of the day. And thanks to globalization, it's like we're all next-door neighbors who can learn from and enrich each other's lives.At my school, we celebrate International Day every year to honor and experience different cultures through food, dance, clothing, and activities. It's become one of my favorite events because I get to bond with my classmates from all backgrounds while also tasting delicious dishes and learning about fascinatingtraditions from around the world. That sense of curiosity and appreciation for our multicultural global community is what globalization should really be about.So while the idea might seem complicated at first, globalization is ultimately bringing people closer together than ever before. I can't wait to see what types of interconnected experiences and opportunities are in store for my generation as we continue to live in this globalized world. Who knows, maybe I'll even get a pen pal from Antarctica or start a international club for penguin lovers! On this modern-day "spaceship Earth," the sky's the limit when it comes to forming diverse friendships and exciting adventures across continents. I'll just have to brush up on my geography skills soon!。
Globalization全球化颜林海【标题解读】写作分析:何谓全球化?回答这个问题的过程就是就是人类对客观事物的认识过程,即“定义”的过程,换句话说,“定义”就是界定一种事物的本质(即意义)的说明。
“定义”有许多方式,最常见的有:列举法(illustration),分类法(classification),过程分析法(process analysis),因果法(cause and effect),比对法(comparison and contrast);除了以上方法外,还有特征枚举法(enumerating characteristics),词源法(etymology),类比法(analogy),排除法(exclusion)(M.S. Spangler & R.Werner,1990:131—135)。
从写作或其他媒介的角度,作为一篇文章的标题,作者必然要围绕标题来展开,而要展开这个话题,就必须对该字词加以界定,即定义。
篇体分析:从上下文看,这是一篇由一档电视谈话节目转写而成的书面文档;电视访谈类节目虽然重在访谈,但并非人与人之间的私下闲聊,因此,节目主持人也往往会提前大致拟定一个围绕某一话题而展开的提纲,这就与文章写作大同而小异了。
理解与翻译时,注意访谈中人物对话的转换,还要注意书写文本在断句上与访谈情景有时并不一致,如(25)句。
翻译分析:在翻译之前,译者也应对标题中涉及到的概念加以认识和理解。
译者在分析某一核心字词时必须注意该字词的音形义的分析。
此篇文章中globalization与音没有多大关系,主要分析该字词的“形”和“义”。
而字“形”的分析涉及到该词的词源和构词方式。
词源分析:Globalization一词逆推词源关系如下:globalization。
构词分析:globalization不过是globalize的名词拼写形式,核心意义在globalize;而此词的构形属于英语中“形容词+动词后缀ize”构词法,其表达的意义为“使...‘形容词’化”或“使...变成‘形容词’”。
1.The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy. It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2.Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3.The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when he/she is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can be he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4.Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against that stands against love.Power in the best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5.At that time, economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made(or how wealthy he was).6.The absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7.It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, because they are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8.When the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.When the unfair practice of judging human value by the amount of money a person has got is done away with.9.He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality. Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10.Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practices racial as racial discrimination.1.I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size.I imagined myself being different types of prodigy, trying to find out which type would best suit me.2.I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts.Some new thoughts came to my mind, thoughts that I deliberately wanted to be disobedient, or to be more exact, thoughts that I would say lots of “ I won’t …” to my mother.3.The girl had a sauciness of a Shirley Temple.The girl was somewhat like Shirley Temple, a bit rude, but in an amusing way.4.It felt like worms and toads and slimy things crawling out of my chest, but it also felt good, as if this awful side of me had surfaced, at last. While saying these, I was scared as if some very unpleasant, horrible things had got out of my chest; but at the same time, I felt a bit delighted for I was finally able to make this awful part of me known to my mother.5.And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point, I wanted to see it spill over.And I could feel that her anger was coming to the point where her endurance and self-control would collapse, but I wanted to see what exactly she would do when that happened.6.The lid to the piano was closed, shutting out the dust, my misery, and her dreams.When the lid to the piano was closed, it not only shut out the dust but also put an end to my misery and my mother’s dreams as well.1.Yet globalization… Is a reality, not a choice.However, as one report said, globalization “is now an ordinary fact of life, not something one can choose to have or not.”2.Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups favored by the general public have appeared in large numbers to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign “cultural assault.”3.Where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand.Where the two trends- the dislike and fear of things foreign and the desire to build China into one of a powerful, industrialized economy- have often contended with each other for dominance.4.Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work.Those people in countries like China should continue to live a backward life while we ourselves will enjoy a comfortable life with all modern facilities.5.Westernization is a phenomenon shot through with inconsistencies and populated by very strange bedfellows.Westernization is a concept full of self-contradictions and held by people of very different backgroundsand views.6.You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.You don’t have to look fashionable or attractive in order to find out what will be the future trend; you only need to be observant and be able to make judgments about it.7.He was up in the cybersphere far above the level of time zones.He was playing the game on the Internet with people living in different parts of the world, an activity that goes far beyond the limit of time zones.8.In the first two weeks of business the Gucci Store took in a surprising $100,000.In the first two weeks after starting business in Shanghai, the Gucci Store made as much as $100,000, a surprisingly large amount of money.9.Early on I realized that I was going to need some type of compass to guide me through the wilds of global culture.Early before that/ From the very beginning I realized I was going to need some guidance that would lead me through the rich and wide variety of global cultures.10.The penitence may have been Jewish, but the aspiration was universal.The way of expressing repentance may have been characteristic of the Jews, but the desire for forgiveness from God was common to people of all cultures.1.Pianos and models, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, masters and mistresses, are not needed by writer.Unlike a pianist or a painter who must have a piano or hire models, or visit famous cities like Paris, Vienna and Berlin, or to be taught by masters and mistresses, a writer does not need all this.2.she would have plucked the heart out of my writing.Those conventional attitudes and beliefs( represented by the Angel) would have taken away the essence/ soul of my writing.3.Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. Thus whenever I felt the influence of traditional Victorian values and attitudes( about gender roles) on my writing, I fought back with all my power.4.For though men sensibly allow themselves great freedom in these respects, I doubt that they realize or can control the extreme severity with which they condemn such freedom in women.This is because, even though men readily allow themselves full freedom in speaking or writing about such as the body and passions, I don’t think they realize how severely they condemn or can control their extremely severe condemnation of, such freedom in women.5.Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write a book without findinga phantom to be slain, a rock to be dashed against.No doubt, it will still take a long time, as I believe, before women are finally able to enjoy the freedom of writing without having to fight those conventional values, beliefs and prejudices that are unfavorable to them.6. Even?when?the?path?is?nominally?open- when?there?is?nothing?to?prevent?a?woman?from? being a doctor,a lawyer, a civil servant -there are many?phantoms?and?obstacles,?as?I?believe,?looming in her way.Even?though?the?path?is?now?open?to?women?in?name?only,?when?they?have?the?freedom?to choose to?be?a?doctor,?a?lawyer, a civil servant,?I?believe?that?there?still?exist?many?false?ideas?and obstacles to impede a woman’s progress.7.You?have?won?rooms?of?your?own?in?the?house?hitherto?exclusively?owned?by?men.By fighting against?the?Angel?in?the?House?and?through?your?painstaking?efforts,?you?have?gained?a position and some freedom in a society which has so far been dominated by men.1.It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.It took me a long time to get rid of illusions and realize the simple and apparent truth that I am nobody but myself. It was a painful process. I started with high expectations only to be deeply disappointed and thoroughly disillusioned.2.And yet I am no freak of nature, nor of history. I was in the cards, other things having been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago. I am perfectly normal physically and I am a natural product of history; my growth reflects history. When things seemed likely to happen to me, other things has been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago.3.About eighty-five?years?ago?they?were?told?that?they?were?free,?united?with?others?of?our?country in?everything?pertaining to the common?good,?and?in?everything?social,?separate?like?the fingers of the hand.About 85?years?ago,?they?were?told?that?they?were?freed?from?slavery?and?became?united?with the white people in all the essential things?having?to?do?with?the?common?interests?of?our country, but?in?social?life?the?blacks and whites still remain separated.4.In those?pre-invisible?days?I?visualized?myself?as?a?potential?Booker?T.?Washington.Inthose?days?before?I?realized?I?was?an?invisible?man,?I?imagined?that?I?would?become?a?successful?man?l ike Booker T. Washington.5.I wanted?at?one?and?the?same?time?to?run?from?the?room,?to?sink?through?the?floor,?or?go?to her and cover her from my eyes of the others?with?my?body;?to?feel?the?soft?thighs,? to caress her?and?destroy?her,?to?love?her?and?murder?her.On the?one?hand,?I?felt?so?embarrassed?that?I?wanted?to?run?away?from?the?ballroom.?On?the?other hand I took pity on the girl and so wanted?to?protect?the?naked?girl?from?the?eyes?of?the other men. I?wanted?to?love?her?tenderly?because?she was an attractive girl,?but?at?the?same?time?I?wanted todestroy?her?because?after?all?she was the immediate cause of our embarrassment.6.Should?I?try?to?win?against?the?voice?out?there??Would?not?this?go?against?my?speech,?and?was not this a moment for humility, for nonresistance?If I?should?try?my?best?and?win?the?fight,?then?I?would?be?winning?against?the?bet?of?that?white man, who shouted “I got my money on?the?big?boy.?"?In?that?case?I?would?not?behave?with?humility, and yet?my?speech?talked?about humility as the essence of success. So?maybe?I?should?let?that big boy win?without?putting?up?resistance,?for?this?was?time?for?me?to?show?humility.7. “ Cast down your bucket where you are” - cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.Make full?use?of?what?you?have?and?do?the?best?you?can.?Take?this?attitude?in?making?friends?in every honorable way, making friends with people of different races among whom we live.8.“You weren't?being?smart,?were?you,?boy?"?"We?mean?to?do?right?by?you,?but?you've?got?to know your place at all times.”You were?not?trying?to?seem?clever?in?a?disrespectful?way,?were?you,?boy??We?intend?to?do?the right thing by setting you up as role model,?but?you?must?never?forget?who?you?are.1.

Globalization 全球化A fundamental shift is occurring in the world economy. We are moving rapidly away from a world in which national economies were relatively self-contained entities, isolated from each other by barriers to cross-border trade and investment; by distance, time zones, and language; and by national differences in government regulation, culture, and business systems. And we are moving toward a world in which barriers to cross-border trade and investment are tumbling; perceived distance is shrinking due to advances in transportation and telecommunications technology; material culture is starting to look similar the world over; and national economies are merging into an interdependent global economic system. The process by which this is occurring is commonly referred to as globalization.世界经济正在发生着根本性的改变。
我们正迅速地远离这么一个世界,在这个世界里国家经济实体都曾经是相对自给自足,彼此孤立的,就其原因或是设置跨境贸易和投资的壁垒所致,或是因距离、时差和语言的缘故所致;或是因政府监管、文化和商业体制上的的国家差异所致。
与此同时,我们正在走向另外一个世界,在这个世界里,跨境贸易和投资的壁垒正在摇摇欲坠,原来感知到的距离因为交通和电信技术上的进步而正在缩小;物质文化在全世界开始看起来都很相似;各种经济实体正融入一个彼此依赖的全球经济体制中。
而正在发生的这一个过程,人们通常把它称为全球化。
Correspondent: Globalization has been one of the most important factors to affect business over the last twenty years. How is it different from what existed before? Companies used to export to other parts of the world from a base in their home country. Many of the connections between exporting and importing countries had a historical basis. Today, to be competitive, companies are looking for bigger markets and want to export to every country. They want to move into the global market. To do this many companies have set up local bases in different countries. Two chief executives will talk about how their companies dealt with going global. Percy Barnevik, one of the world’s most admired business leaders when he was Cha irman of the international engineering group ABB and Dick Brown of telecommunications provider Cable & Wireless.Cable & Wireless already operates in many countries and is well-placed to take advantage of the increasingly global market for telecommunications. For Dick Brown globalization involves the economies of countries being connected to each other and companies doing business in many countries and therefore having multinational accounts.记者: 过去20多年以来,全球化已经成为影响业务的最重要因素之一。
那么,现在的全球化与以前有何不同呢? 过去的公司都是把在本国生产基地的商品出口到世界其他各地。
进出口各国之间都有着千丝万缕的联系,其中许多联系都有其历史基础。
当今,要想具有竞争力,各个公司都在寻求更大的市场,都想把产品出口到每一个国家,都想迈入全球化市场,为此,许多公司都在不同国家建立了本土化基地。
今天我们请来两位总裁,让他们来谈谈他们的公司是如何应对全球化的。
一位是珀西·巴恩维克,在担任国际工程集团ABB主席一职时,曾是世界上最令人羡慕的商界领袖之一;另一位是迪克·布朗,来自英国大东电报局(Cable&Wireless)的电信提供商。
大东电报局已经在许多国家营运起来了,而且定位很准,充分利用电信业上的日益增长的全球化市场。
对迪克·布朗来说,全球化包括彼此联系的各个国家经济实体和在许多国家做生意的、从而拥有跨国账户的公司。
Dick Brown: The world is globalizing and the telecommunications industry is becoming more and more global, and so we feel we’re well-positioned in that market place. You see currency markets are more global tied, economies are globally connected, more so nowadays withexpanded trade, more and more multinational accounts are doing business in many, many more countri es. We’re a company at Cable & Wireless now, well-positioned to carry the traffic and to provide the services to more and more companies that now need to get to five countries or twelve countries, we’re often there.迪克·布朗:世界正在全球化,电信业正变得越来越全球化,因此,我们觉得在这个市场上我们的定位具有优势。
你也瞧见了,货币市场之间,全球经济实体之间,都在全球化;扩展贸易更是如此,跨国账户越来越多,而且在许多,甚至更多的国家开展业务。
我们这个公司现在隶属于英国大东电报局(Cable&Wireless),有能力提供电信业务并为越来越多的公司提供服务,这些公司现在需要到五个或十二个国家经营业务,我们公司经常在这些国家经营。
Correspondent: When Percy Barnevik became head of the international engineering group ABB, his task was to make globalization work. He decided to divide the business into over a thousand smaller companies. In this way he believed the company could be both global and local. In answering the question “How do you make globalization work?” Percy Barnevik describes the “global glue” that keeps the many different people in ABB together. He then looks at the need to manage the three contradictions of company: it is decentralized but centrally controlled, it is big and small at the same time and it is both global and local.记者:珀西·巴恩维克曾担任国际工程集团阿西布朗勃法瑞(ABB)的主席,之后他的任务就是开展全球化业务。
当时他决定将企业切分成一千多家小公司, 认为这样才能让公司既做到全球化又做到本土化。
在回答“你是如何开展全球化业务?”这个问题时,珀西·巴恩维克把它描述为“全球粘合剂”,即将ABB公司里许多各种各样的人粘合在一起。
接着,他又看出有必要解决公司存在的三个矛盾:既要权力下放,但又要集中控制,既要做大,同时又要做小,既要考虑全球化又要注意本土化。
Percy Barnevik: We have now for ten years after our big merger created a “global glue” where people are tied together, where they don’t internally compete, but support each other, and you have global leaders with global responsibility and your local managers working with their profit centers, and if you have the right, so to say, agenda for these people and the right structure, you can use a scale of economy and your advantages of bigness but being small. We used to say you have three contradictions: decentralized and still centrally controlled, big and small, global and local, and, of course, to try to make these contradictions work together effectively, then I think you have a big organizational competitive edge.珀西·巴恩维克:我们大兼并之后,创立的“全球粘合剂”现在也有十年了,在这个“粘合剂”里,人们都捆绑在一起,但内部之间并不相互竞争,而是相互支持;你既可以拥有负有全球性责任感的全球性领导者,也可以拥有为自己盈利中心而工作的本地经理;如果说你有权利,比如,人事安排议程和恰当的结构议程,那么你就有了一定经济规模可供使用,发挥以“小”获“大”的优点。
