新标准英语1课文翻译Unit1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。

我进去登记。

宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。

我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。

等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。

我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。

但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。

这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。

我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。

幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。

后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。

周围只有书和一个箱子。

接下来我该做什么？星期一早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。

我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。

他边说话边晃悠脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。

“我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。

“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。

但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。

他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。

妈妈打来电话。

她问我是不是见到了导师。

星期二我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。

我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。

我下到餐厅排进了长队。

“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。

“不知道。

我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。

这是午餐。

”午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。

前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。

我再也不觉得饿了。

妈妈打电话来。

她问我有没有好好吃饭。

星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。

我醒时已经8:45了。

竟然没有人叫我起床。

奇怪。

我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。

我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。

她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？讲座进行了1个小时。

结束时我看了看笔记，我根本就看不懂自己写的字。

那个女生名叫苏菲，和我一样，也是英语文学专业的学生。

新闻头条世界各地的媒体都以头条报道同一新闻的情形并不很常见。

这样的事件得具有巨大的国际影响力。

但是这正是2001年9月恐怖分子袭击纽约世贸中心双塔之后发生的情形。

从那一刻起世界改变了模样，这样说也许并不夸张。

但是，使9/11值得纪念并（用媒体喜欢的话来说）具有新闻价值的不仅仅是它的历史性和国际性。

还有震惊和恐惧。

这一消息极度震撼，极具爆炸性。

事发多年以后，许多人还能清楚地记得他们第一次听到这一消息时身在何处、当时正在做什么。

他们能记得自己的反应：对世界各地的许多人来说，他们的第一本能是去把这一消息告诉别人。

这就证实了那句老话：“坏事传千里”。

一切重大新闻都是如此。

我记得上小学的时候，老师脸色煞白地向一班吃惊的七岁孩子通报说，肯尼迪总统死了。

我并不知道肯尼迪总统是谁，但是我听到这一消息后非常不安，后来就跑回家去告诉了父母（当然，他们已经知道了）。

事实上，这是我最早的记忆之一。

那么，新闻到底是什么？一个事件光有客观重要性显然还不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问题，都会造成戏剧性的后果，从贫困问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是进行中的，并不都会在同一天成为头条。

对比之下，9/11不仅具有国际性，而且奇特怪异、出人意料，还（可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人们的痛苦感同身受，从这个意义上讲）极具人性。

奇特怪异并不意味着重大。

就拿今天的《中国日报》上关于一只老鼠延误了一架从越南飞至日本的航班这条消息为例吧。

在河内机场有人发现那只老鼠在一架飞机的过道里奔跑。

它最终被12名技术人员合力逮住，他们怕它会咬破电线，造成短路。

飞机晚点了四个多小时才起飞。

你也许会说，这并不是具有重大国际影响的事件（除了少数乘客到另一国赴约迟到以外）。

但是全球却颇有反响，从亚洲经苏格兰到美洲的电子版报纸都有转载（《爱丁堡晚报》的标题是《捉老鼠延误航班》）。

新闻价值的另一个元素是即时性。

这是指事件发生的时间近。

一周前发生的事件一般来说就不是新闻了——除非你刚刚读到它。

论党对马克思主义中国化时代化大众化的历史探索孙忠良;陈德祥【期刊名称】《山东青年政治学院学报》【年(卷),期】2011(000)004【摘要】党的十七届四中全会提出要大力推进马克思主义中国化、时代化、大众化的重大战略任务。

第三单元（1）切断网络：没有手机，我们能活下去吗？在他下榻的位于曼哈顿的一家饭店里，拉塞尔·克劳由于将饭店的一部电话机砸向总台的服务生而被捕。

据说是因为他没法接通澳大利亚的电话。

他这是怎么了？他的手机出了什么问题？在过去的15年里，手机已成为改变英国人日常行为方式的最主要的因素。

据估计，目前英国手机用户已超过5,500万，而在1997年还不足1,000万。

手机变得越小，电话就打得越多，而我们也越来越迅速地做出对我们的生活方式造成影响的决定。

与此同时，世界也变得越来越小了。

过去，在著名的旅游胜地人们相互拍照留念，而现在，大家几乎都忍不住给家里的亲朋好友打电话。

现在有消息说，伦敦的手机信号覆盖范围将拓展延伸。

以后，在伦敦的每一个角落都有手机信号，就连地铁也不例外。

那么如果没有手机，我们能活下去吗？我们请三个人关机三天，看看他们对手机的依赖程度有多大。

商人白天，我很多时候都在用手机，也发很多短信。

晚上和周末，朋友都打我的手机，所以我几乎不用家里的座机。

由于我在办公室工作，有时候也有人把电话打到我办公室的座机上。

但这些人我不一定认识，因为我通常是一认识某个人，就把手机号码告诉他。

关机的第一天晚上，我本来是要和几个朋友在俱乐部里聚会的。

可我迟到了，还没法打电话告诉他们。

等我到那儿时，他们已经离开了。

上班的时候，大家都焦急地打我的手机，结果都因为我三天不给他们回电话而感到十分恼火。

可三天后，不管说什么都已经太迟了。

没有手机，生活中的一切好像都慢了下来，还有一点单调乏味。

现在大家不到最后一分钟是不会做打算的，因为到时候互相打个电话就行了。

所以，在我关机的三天里，我实际上没有什么社交生活。

但是，从好的方面说，我很少会因一时冲动去做让我事后懊悔的事情。

没有手机留给我更多的思考时间。

所以，我能完全不用手机吗？当然可以，只是我不愿意那样做而已。

女学生当我同意不用手机时，我并没有做好思想准备。

当时正在放假，电脑又用不了，我根本无法和朋友们取得联系。
