Unit 1一个年轻人发现，在街上漫无目的的闲逛也会带来涉及法律上的麻烦。

一种误解导致另一种误解，直到最终他必须在法庭上接受审判…….法律小冲突我平生只有一次陷入与法律的冲突。

被捕与被带上法庭的整个经过在当时是一种令人极不愉快的经历，但现在这却成为一个好故事的素材。

尤其令人恼怒的是我被捕及随后在法庭上受审期间的种种武断情形。

事情发生在十二年前的二月，那是我中学毕业已经几个月了，但是要等到十月份才能上大学，所以当时我仍在家中。

一天上午，我来到离我住地不远的伦敦郊区的里士满，那是我正在找一份临时的工作，一边攒些钱去旅游。

由于天体晴朗，有没有什么急事，我便悠然自得的看看窗店橱窗，逛逛公园，有时干脆停下来四处观望。

一定是这种显然无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。

事情发生在十一点半左右，当我在当地图书馆谋之未成，刚从那里出来，就看见一个人从马路对面走过来，显然是想跟我说话。

我愿意为他是要问我时间。

想不到他说他是警察，要逮捕我。

开始我还以为这是个玩笑。

但紧接着又来了一个穿着警服的警察，这下我无可置疑了。

“为什么抓我？”我问。

“四处游荡，有作案嫌疑，”他说。

“做什么案？”我又问。

“偷东西，”他说。

“偷什么”我追问。

“牛奶瓶”他说，表情极端严肃。

“噢，”事情是这样的，这一带经常发生小偷小摸的案件，尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。

接着，我犯了个大错误，那是我才十九岁，留着一头乱蓬蓬的长发，自以为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。

因此，我想对此表现出一副冷漠，满不在乎的态度，于是用一种很随便的无所谓的腔调说：“你们跟我多久了？”这样一来，我在他们眼里，我是惯于此种情形的，这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。

几分钟后来了一辆警车。

“坐到后面去，”他们说：“把手放在椅背上，不许乱动。

”他俩分别坐在我的左右，这下可不是闹着玩的了。

在警察局，他们审问了我好几个小时。

我继续装着老于世故，对此种事习以为常的样子。

当他们问我一直在干什么事时，我告诉他们我在找工作。

1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in Ind ia, where is to ld as if true -- tho ug h any naturalistwould know it couldn't be. Later som eone told m e that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is Ind ia. A colonial official and his wife are g iving a larg e d innerp arty. They are seated with their g uests -- o fficers and their wives, and a visitingAm e rican n atu ralist -- in the ir sp acio u s d in in g ro o m, which has a b are m arb le flo o r,open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A sp irited d iscussio n sp ring s up b etween a yo ung g irl who says that wo m enhave outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A wo m an's reactio n in any crisis," the m ajo r says, "is to scream. And while am an m ay fe e l like it, h e h as th at o u n ce m o re o f co n tro l th an a wo m an h as. An d th atlast ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strang e exp ression com e over the face of the hostess. She isstaring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's e ye s widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the g uests, no ne excep t the Am erican no tices this o r sees the b o y p lace abowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The Am erican com es to with a start. In Ind ia, m ilk in a b owl m eans only onething -- b ait fo r a snake. He realizes there m ust b e a co b ra in the ro o m. He lo o ksup at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of thero o m are e m p ty, an d in th e fo u rth th e se rvan ts are waitin g to se rve th e n e xt co u rse.There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump b ack and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hund red -- that's five m inutes -- and not one of you is to m ove a m uscle. Thosewho move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two h u n d re d an d e ig h ty..." wh e n, o u t o f th e co rn e r o f h is e ye, h e se e s th e co b ra e m e rg eand make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."Yo u we re right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the wo m a n's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

大学英语（上海外语教育出版社）第三版精读第三册Reading aloud and memorizing（科文及翻译）1And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'.于是，我没有留下犯罪记录。

但当时，最令人震惊的是我被无罪释放所明显依赖的证据。

我有标准的口音，有受人敬重的中产阶级的父母来到法庭，有可靠的证人，还有，很明显我请得起很好得律师。

想到这次指控的含糊不清的特点，我敢肯定，如果我出生在一个不同背景的家庭，并真失业，则完全可能被判有罪。

UNIT 1As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier.课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。

Some Strategies for Learning EnglishLearning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort.学习英语绝非易事。

它需要刻苦和长期努力。

Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。

以下便是其中的几种。

1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。

大学英语精读第三版第一册【课文翻译】Unit1课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。

Some Strategies or Learning English学习英语绝非易事。

它需要刻苦和长期努力。

虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。

以下便是其中的几种。

1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。

你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。

如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。

你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。

积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。

你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。

2．密切注意地道的表达方式。

你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说 "我对英语感兴趣"是"I'm interested in English"，而说"我精于法语"则是"I'm good at French"？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说"获悉消息或秘密"是"learn the news or secret"，而"获悉某人的成功或到来"却是"learn of someone's success or arrival"？这些都是惯用法的例子。

在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。

3．每天听英语。

经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。

除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。

第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。
