研究生英语读写译教程课文-第三单元（ADB’s GMS program）亚洲开发银行的大湄公河次区域合作规划[1]The Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) is a brainchild of the Asian Development Bank(ADB) comprising of five countries and one province Kingdom of Cambodia, Union of Myanmar kingdom of Thailand, socialist Republic of Vietnam, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Yunnan Province of the People’s Republic of China.[1] 大湄公河次区域是亚洲开发银行（亚行）的创意，它最初由五个国家和一个省份组成-他们分别是柬埔寨王国，缅甸联邦，泰王国，越南社会主义共和国，老挝人民民主共和国和中华人民共和国的云南省。
[2] The Greater Mekong Sub-region GMS is an area with immense economic potential and rich natural resources. As many as 70 million people are living within the Mekong River Basin area and 260 million throughout the sub region. The GMS is also experiencing some of the fastest economic growth rates in the world Sustainable and equitable development, though, is hindered by poverty environmental degradation and lack of human resources, as well as differential social development and governance structures. Since its inception in 1992 by the 6 member governments, the GMs had undergo process of integration unprecedented in the region. Through multilateral cooperation and funding by international organizations( IOs), non-governmental organizations( NGOs), and private investments the Sub-region has experienced a boom in economic growth Until now, however, sub-regional integration has primarily been externally-driven through the funds ofinternational organizations, particularly the ADB, and foreign governments In order to achieve true integration and cooperation among the 6 member nations, it is necessary to create a new GMS spirit 15 years after its initial inception. An intensification of bi-and multilateral cooperation and an identification of GMS citizens with their region will pave the way for sustainable development and prolonged peace in the historically troubled region[2] 大湄公河次区域是一个拥有巨大经济潜力和丰富自然资源的区域。

当代研究生英语读写教程上下册课文译文一些私人组织和地方团体已经在不声不晌地建立各种标签服务系统，并建立了适合儿童的网站，如“儿童连接”、“儿童空间”等。
具有不同品味和抱有不同价值观念的人如同挑选书刊、杂志一样，可以从网上挑选出适合自己的服务机构。
如果愿意，他们还可以在网上无拘无束地逍遥漫游，完成自己的旅程。
总之，我们的社会需要发展，要发展就意味着我们必须明白，世上没有完美无缺的答案，没有能够解决各种问题的妙方，没有政府认可的安全避难所。
我们不能在地球上建立一个十全十美的社会，同样也不能在信息空间营造一个这样的社会。
但是至少我们可以有个人的选择——也有个人的责任。
当代研究生英语读写教程上下册课文译文当代研究生英语读写教程上下册课文译文男孩的群体比女孩的要大，所包括的人更广泛，也更具有等级特色。
因此，男孩们势必要努力争取不在群体中处于从属地位。
这也许是为什么女人抱怨男人不听她们说话的根源之一。
当女的对男的说“你没有在听”，而男的反对说“我在听”时，常常男的是对的。
这种给人没有在听的印象是由于男女对话方式的不同而引起的。
这种不同在男女各自就位时就已表现出来了。
我对心理学家布鲁斯·多维尔录制的关于儿童与成人分别与他们的同性好友交谈时的录像带进行了研究。
研究发现，无论多大年龄的女孩和成年女性，都采取面对面的姿势，眼睛看着对方的脸。
而各种年龄的男孩和成年男子就座时，相互位置都成一定的角度，眼睛看着屋子别的地方，只有时不时瞥对方一眼。
男性这种看着别处的习惯，可能给女性一种印象，那就是他们没有在听，即使他们在听也会给人以没有在听的印象。
一个年轻的女大学生感到很失望，因为每当她告诉男朋友她想跟他谈谈时，他总是躺在地上，闭上眼睛，并用手臂挡住脸。

虽然阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦是迄今为止世界上最伟大的科学家之一。
但如果要我用一个词来描述它的话，我会选择纯朴。
或者有关他的一件轶事能让你理解我为什么这么说。
又一次，遇上了倾盆大雨，他摘下帽子揣在衣服下面。
别人问他为什么，他以令人钦佩的逻辑解释说，雨会淋坏帽子，而他的头发湿了却不会坏，这种直达问题核心的诀窍以及他对美非同寻常的感知，就是他主要科学发现的秘密所在。
1935年，在坐落于新泽西著名的普林斯顿高级研究院，我第一次见到阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦。
他是第一批被该院邀请的人，在工资方面学校任由他提条件。
另院长惊讶的是，爱因斯坦要求的薪水简直办不到——他要的太少了。
院长不得不恳求他接受一个大一些的数目。
我对爱因斯坦很敬畏，犹豫再三才敢就我一直在考虑的一些想法向他请教。
当我终于鼓起勇气敲响他的门时，听到一个温和的声音说：“进来。
”声调有点上扬，带有欢迎和询问的语气。
我走进他的办公室看见他坐在桌子旁边，一边抽着烟斗一边算着什么，他的衣服很不合身，头发乱蓬蓬的，极具个性，向我热情的微笑着表示欢迎我的到来。
他的平易自然立刻使我放松下来。
当我开始阐述自己的见解时，他叫我把方程式写在黑板上，这样他就能明白他们是怎么展开的。
接着他提出了一个令人惊愕但又非常可爱的请求：“请你慢慢写，我理解东西不快。
”这种话竟出自爱因斯坦之口！他说的很温和，我笑了，从此我残留的畏惧之情都烟消云散了。
爱因斯坦与1879年出生在德国的乌尔姆市。
他并非神童式人物。
事实上他说话很晚，他的父母甚至担心他是弱智儿。
上学后，虽然老师们看不出他有什么天分，但天才的迹象已经很显露。
例如，他自学微积分，老师们有些怕他，因为他总问些他们回答不出的问题。
因此，十六岁时他就问自己是否当人跟着光波跑的一样快的时候它会好像是静止的。
由这一天真的问题引发，十年之后他创立了相对论。
爱因斯坦没有通过苏黎士瑞士联邦工艺学校的入学考试，但在一年后被录取了。
在那，他除了完成规定的学业外，还自修了物理学的经典著作。
笛卡尔错了：“他人在，故我在”乌班图哲学起源于古代非洲。
按照它的说法，新生儿尚不能称为“人”。
初生时，人没有自我。
随着时间的推移，在互动和经验中才能习得它。
因此，西方哲学中自我/他者之间清晰的分界在乌班图哲学中变得模糊起来。
出生于肯尼亚的哲学家约翰·姆比蒂（John Mbiti在著作《非洲的宗教与哲学》（African Religions and Philosophy）中如是说：我在，因为我们在；因为我们在，所以我在。
日常经验告诉我们，一个人一部分从社会的历练中锻造出来。
社会关系赋予我们自我认知。
我是谁，这个问题的答案依赖于众多他者：家庭、朋友、文化背景、同事等等。
在杂货店购物的我和与博士导师交谈的我不是同一个自我。
即便是最私人化、最个性化的自我印象也无法摆脱他人的意见和印象：赞同我的人，批评我的人，以及那些称赞我的人。
但是，自我的摇摆不定和充满歧义让人不安。
很大程度上，我们可以把这份不安归因于笛卡尔。
这位十七世纪的法国哲学家相信，人本质上是独立自给的，是一个内在理性的存在应该用怀疑主义的态度来面对他头脑以外的世界。
尽管笛卡尔没有单独创造出现代思维，但他在定义其框架上起到了很大的推动作用。
笛卡尔给自己提出了一个特别的谜团。
他想不倚靠上帝赐予的智慧，另外找到一个稳固的观点来观察世界，使得他能观察到自然界的白云苍狗之下的永恒规则。
笛卡尔坚信，在确定和世俗的富足之间，存在权衡。
你唯一能确定的，就是“我思故我在”——即，你思考的状态。
其他人和其他事物是不稳定且难以预测的存在。
因此，它们和认识自己的基本律条毫无关系。
认识自我从来都是独自进行的，需要不断的深思在认识到精神和身体是完全独立存在的基础上，很少有备受尊敬的哲学家和心理学家被认为是个彻底的笛卡尔式的二元论者。
但笛卡尔式的我思故我在目之所及，已遍布每一个角落。
记忆测试的实验设计趋于从一个假说出发，即自我和世界之间是可能存在明确界限的如果记忆仅仅存在于我们的头颅中，那么，将一个人从他的日常生活的环境和社会关系中剥离出来，并在人造的封闭实验室中使用卡片或荧幕来检测他的记忆是百分百可行的。
高级英语读写译教程翻译及答案Unit OneSection AThe Green Banana 参考译文青香蕉[1] 我与青香蕉的邂逅始于巴西内地一条陡峭的山路上，尽管这样的事也可能发生在其它任何地方。
正当我的老掉牙的吉普车吃力地爬着坡，穿过风景迷人的乡野时，车子散热器开始漏水了，而那里距最近的修理铺有十英里路。
发动机温度太高，逼得我在下一个村庄边把车停下。
村里有一家小店和零散的一些房屋。
人们过来围观。
三股细细的热水从散热器外壳的漏洞喷出。
“这好修理，”一个男人说。
他叫一男孩跑去拿几根青香蕉来。
这人拍着我的肩膀要我相信一切都会解决的。
“青香蕉，”他微笑着说。
周围的人表示赞同。
[2] 我们互相寒暄的同时，我琢磨着青香蕉能会有什么用。
要是追问的话就显得我无知。
所以我就评论起这一带的美景了。
巨大的岩石构造像里约热内卢的糖塔山一样耸立在我们的周围。
“你看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗？”这位要帮我忙的男人指着一座细长高耸的黑色岩块的尖顶问道。
“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。
”[3] 我看着他，想知道他是否在开我玩笑，但他满脸严肃的表情。
这时他也仔细地盯着我，看我是否理解了他那话的含义。
此时此刻需要我做出认可的表示。
“世界的中心？”我重复着。
尽管我不是全然相信，仍竭力表示出我很感兴趣。
他点点头，“绝对是中心。
这一带，人人皆知。
”[4] 这时一个男孩拿着为我摘的青香蕉回来了。
那个人把香蕉掰成两半，把断面压在散热器的外壳上。
香蕉碰在热金属上后，化成了胶状物，立即就把漏洞堵住了。
所有人都被我惊讶的神态逗乐了。
他们重新灌满了我的散热器，并给我了一些备用的香蕉带上。
路上我又用青香蕉堵了一次。
一小时后，我和我的散热器到达了目的地。
当地的机修工笑着对我说：“谁教你用青香蕉的？”我说出了那个村子。
”“他们让你看标志着世界中心的那块岩石了吗？”他问道。
我作了肯定的回答。
“我的爷爷是那儿人。
”他说，“那儿是正中心，这一带的所有人都知道。
