【艺术类院校大学英语第二册】课文翻译及课后答案

一个疑惑不‎解的小孩提‎的一个问题‎促使卡尔·格林思考：虽然他没有‎贵重的财物‎，但他在其他‎许多方面却‎是富有的。

富足的一生‎卡尔·格林首次面对这‎个问题，是在200‎3年12月‎初，我第一次为‎救世军摇铃‎募捐的时候‎。

当时我就站‎在沃尔玛商‎场入口处门‎外，对每一位向‎我的红壶里‎投入捐款的‎人都报以一‎声“谢谢”和一个微笑‎。

一位穿着整‎洁的妇人牵‎着她的幼子‎向放壶的台‎子走过来。

她在钱包里‎摸着找钱时‎，孩子抬头看‎了我一眼，问我：“你穷吗？”当时他眼里‎充满疑惑和‎好奇，时至今日仍‎历历在目。

“嗯，”我结结巴巴‎，边想边回答‎，“我比有些人‎拥有的多，但比其他人‎拥有的少。

”母亲因为孩‎子问了一个‎在社交上不‎该问的问题‎，训斥了他一‎顿，他俩便匆匆‎地赶去购物‎。

但是孩子的‎问题却一直‎在我的心头‎挥之不去。

我从不认为‎自己“穷”，但有些事我‎不可否认。

每当我填1‎040税务‎申报表时，我都属于收‎入最低的档‎次之一。

在过去的三‎十五年中，我只出去度‎过一次假。

我的电视机‎是黑白的，还是八年前‎别人送给我‎的。

然而，想要得到其‎他那么多人‎都有的物质‎的东西，对我来说，只不过是转‎瞬即逝的念‎头而已。

我的汽车是‎1999年‎的产品，到现在开了‎十万五千英‎里，已经很破很‎旧了，但是它依然‎可靠。

我的住房不‎大，但是很安静‎，住着挺舒心‎。

我的衣服很‎适合于我的‎工作，主要都在户‎外。

我对计算机‎的很少的需‎求，可以在图书‎馆得到解决‎。

尽管有些东‎西我没有，我并不感到‎贫穷。

这是为什么‎？五十三年来‎我一直非常‎健康。

我不但不生‎病，而且精力充‎沛，情绪饱满。

锻炼对我而‎言是确确实‎实的快事，我乐意长距‎离步行，越走越有劲‎。

我喜爱步行‎后随之产生‎的一种“什么都干得‎了”的心态。

我还十分珍‎惜我的创作‎才能。

当我写出美‎丽的诗句或‎编造出能把‎人逗乐的笑‎话时，我内心感到‎很富有。

1 On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice.在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

2 These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. Of course, it’s true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics).现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。

当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。

例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50％的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标，（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。

第五单元逾越障碍课文A读一读以下两则名言，想一想迈克尔·斯通的故事是否印证了其间的道理。

障碍越是巨大，逾越它也就越感自豪。

——莫里哀只有天空漆黑时，你才可以看到星星。

——查尔斯·久比尔德真正的高度大为·纳史特他手心在出汗。

他需要用毛巾把握竿的手擦干。

太阳火辣辣的，与他今天在全国少年奥林匹克运动会上所面临的竞争一样热烈。

横杆升到了17英尺。

比他个人的最高记录高出3英寸。

迈克尔·斯通面临的是其撑竿跳高生涯中最具挑战性的一天。

尽管赛跑决赛一小时前就已经结束，看台上仍然观众满座，足有20，000人上下。

撑竿跳高确实是所有田径比赛中最精彩的项目。

它融合了体操运动员的优雅与健美运动员的力量。

它还具有飞翔的特征，对观看该项目比赛的观众来说，飞跃两层楼的高度简直是一件不可思议的事情。

迈克尔自从能记事起就一直梦想着飞翔。

从小到大，母亲给迈克尔念过无数关于飞翔的故事。

她的故事总是从高空俯瞰描述大地。

她对细节的激情和酷爱使得迈克尔的梦境色彩缤纷、绚丽无比。

迈克尔总是重复做着一个梦。

他在乡间大路上飞奔。

当他奔跑在金色的麦田之间时，总是把开过的机车一路甩在身后。

就在他深深吸上一口气的瞬间，他开始从地面一跃而起，就像一头雄鹰那样开始翱翔。

他飞越的都是母亲故事里描述的地方。

全新版大学英语综合教程（第二版）第2册课文翻译Unit 1 Text A哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

Learning, Chinese-Style1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。

酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。

由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。

本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。

他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。

由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。

本杰明一点也不在意。

他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。

我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。

他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。

但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。

饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。

他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。

然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。

我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。

因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。

TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。

既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

Appendix IKey to Exercises (Units 1-8)Unit 1Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children ¡ª "you of tender years" ¡ª also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children shouldshare their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such mo?ments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) The end winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/Contrast Chinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to do something, or teach by holding his hand teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems94 - Appendix I2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority to de?veloping skills at an early age, believing creativity can be promoted over time put more emphasis on fos?tering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterVocabulary1) insert 2) on occasion3) investigate 4) In retrospect5) initial 6) phenomena7) attached 8) make up for9) is awaiting 10) exception11) not... in the least 12) promote13) working on 14) in due course15) emerged1) There is a striking contrast between the standard of living in the north of the country andthe south.2) Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3) The city's importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.4) His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5) The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3. 1) Chinese isn't a subject that can be picked up in a month. You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you workat it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exag?gerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two ex?tremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assisLchildren in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of con?trol. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior wayAppendix I - 95 -to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Here I would like to make three relevant points.First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning/learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization/learning by heart with a good understanding will cer?tainly be of benefit/do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. c2. c3. d4. a5. c6. bTranslation(#ja Appendix III)Appendix I - 97 -Language Practice1. adopt3. plus5. furthermore7. annual9. pace11. on demand13. perspective 15. fell apart17. access19. deposit2. account4. ended up6. fund8. keeping track of10. intends12. devise14. undoubtedly16. protest18. resources20. from your point of viewPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperHow I Learn at CollegeI went to school in a small town near Chengdu and now I am studying law at Fudan University in Shanghai. Passing from one to the other you have to get used to many new things, not the least being the different way of learning.At school I found my timetable full throughout the day. One lesson came close on the heels ofanother with little time to call one's own. At university, in contrast, only a few hours of each day aretaken up with classes or lectures. In the time made available you are expected to learn on your own.When and where is up to you. At the same time what you are meant to learn shifts from memorizingmasses of facts to developing an ability to understand theories and present arguments. There are, ofcourse, still facts to be learned. One should not exaggerate the differences. Nevertheless, learning atuniversity certainly teaches me greater self-reliance and to think for myself. (169 words)- 9& - Appendix IUnit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:You have heard about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, haven't you? He came from a poor family, but rose to become one of the most fondly remembered presidents in his country's history. There are many stories about him. Here is one of them.When Abraham Lincoln was young he worked in a store. As a clerk he proved honest and efficient. One day a woman came into the store and bought some articles. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents, or the young clerk thought they did. The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young store-keeper, not feeling quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculation, added up the items once more. To his dismay he found that the sum total should have been only two dollars. "I've made her pay six and a quarter cents too much," said Abe, disturbed. It was a very small sum, and many clerks would have dismissed it as such. But Abe was too conscien?tious to forget about the overcharge."The money must be paid back," he decided. This would have been easy enough had the woman lived just around the corner, but, as the young man knew, she lived two or three miles away. This, however, did not alter the matter. It was night, but he closed and locked the store, and walked to the home of his customer. Having arrived there, he explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. This anecdote won him a new name: Honest Abe.Appendix I - 99 -Part II Text Alext Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-4 The waiter was disappointed to find that the Richest Man in America led so simple a life.Part Two Paras 5-13 Being friendly, easy-going and never flashy, Walton carries on like plain folks and never wants any special treatment.

英语第一册课文翻译及课后答案（9~16）第九单元歌剧的性质三百多年以来，歌剧已经成为一种最吸引人的音乐娱乐形式。

各具独特的魅力与和他有关的一些分不开——咏叹调，歌唱家和角色，更不用说它的首映夜了。

卡门，咪咪，维奥莱塔，特里斯坦无论是在现实中还是故事中，是什么样的人物能拥有一代又一代那么重视的观众呢？歌剧就是演唱出来的戏剧。

它把声乐、器乐资源---独唱家、合奏，合唱团、乐队、芭蕾与诗歌、戏剧、表演、哑剧、舞台场景、还有戏服等办法融合起来。

把多种元素融为一体并不简单，这一点一直让音乐史上一些最有聪明才智的人大伤脑筋。

乍一看，歌剧似乎不太可能让观众那么容易相信它。

因为它呈现给我们的是一些人沉浸在剧情中不用对话用歌声来表达感情。

有理由问这样一个问题（从歌剧诞生以来文学家们既已经尖锐地问过了）：一种这么不自然的艺术如何让人信服呢？这个问题忽略了一点：让艺术一直都具有激情的最基本的东西：不是去复制自然，而是提高我们对自然的意识。

所有的艺术使用一些艺术家和观众都能接受的传统，歌剧使用的传统比诗歌、绘画、戏剧、或电影更明显但本质有不一样。

一旦我们已经接受毯子能飞的事实，也就很容易相信它也可以带上把王子的行李。

歌剧在诗化的戏剧中具有独特的作用。

他利用人类的声音以其独有的力量把人类最基本的情感——爱、恨、妒嫉、快乐、悲伤对观众形成强大的冲击。

现实的逻辑在歌剧的舞台上被艺术超越现实的逻辑所替代，被音乐对心灵产生的力量所替代。
