大学英语教程2读写译 UNIT 2

新视野大学英语第三版第二册读写课文翻译Unit 1 Text A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。

对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。

2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。

我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 没了。

所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。

5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。

学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。

由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。

6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。

举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery(文具用品)并没有被钉在那儿。

朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。

实际上,他们应该说They've just eaten。

因此,批评学生不合乎情理。

7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。

学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。

可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。

还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。

学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。

8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味,所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。

Unit 1Section A注重时间的美国人美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。

在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人尽快吃完，以便他们也能及时用餐，你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此，时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

因此，我们千方百计地节约时间。

我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流，而不是通过直接接触。

Text Translation：Unit2 继承陈嘉庚精神1961年8月12日陈嘉庚先生在京病逝，享年87岁。

中华人民共和国政府为他举行了国葬。

即使在弥留之际，陈先生仍然热衷于他奋斗一生的公共教育事业，留下遗嘱将所有的钱（一百万人民币元）捐给家乡的学校。

陈先生留下了嘉庚公园(Jiageng Park)，一座国家纪念馆，位于中国东南海岛城市厦门集美(Jimei,Xiamen)东南沿海的一个小岛上。

1990年3月11日，中国国际小行星中心命名中国科学院紫金山天文台发现的第2963号小行星为“陈嘉庚星”(“Tan Kah Kee Star”)，纪念他对教育事业所做的卓越贡献。

命名仪式在厦门大学(Xiamen University)举行。

除了“陈嘉庚星”和许多处纪念馆，陈嘉庚在海外华人心目中有着非常高的地位，1992年部分世界上最杰出的华人在香港(Hong Kong)举行会议，成立了陈嘉庚国际协会(the Tan Kah Kee International society)。

这个协会旨在为人类社会的幸福促进科学和文化的发展。

正如中国为陈嘉庚建立了纪念馆一样，在新加坡(Singapore)人们通过捐献、基金会和奖学金的形式来纪念他。

新加坡华侨中学(the Chinese High School)专门在校园的钟楼前为其奠基人陈嘉庚塑立了铜像。

新加坡的后人仍然受益于他的慷概赞助。

陈嘉庚青少年发明奖(Mr Tan’s Young Inventors’ Award)仍然赞助初露头角的年青科学家和发明家，激励着新加坡科学界，在促进新加坡的科学研究能力方面发挥了重要作用。

.除了亚洲，在美国(the United Sates)也可以找到陈嘉庚的名字。

1993年4月28日，经著名科学家李远哲(Lee Yuan Tseh)教授和田长霖(Tien Chang-Lin)教授推荐并积极努力，加里福尼亚大学柏克莱校区化工学院(the school of Chemistry at University of California,Berkeley)新建的一座楼被命名为“陈嘉庚楼”(“Tan Kah Kee Hall”)。

Unit 1 Language in missionText A An impressive English lessonUnderstanding the text1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment.3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.

The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so fort h, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.Unit 2 College-The ladder to successText A The humanities:Out of dateReading Comprehension1. because English or history majors are considered less competitive when the jobmarket is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs.2. because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward “hard” skills that they think will lead to employment.3. since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before; in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.4. because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it. From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.5. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.6. Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.7. “Well-round ed human beings” are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.8. Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.Language focus 31. promotes2. accelerate3. mystery4. insight5. boost6. analysis7. calculate8. barriers9. destruction 10. prospect4Promising Bearing Housing Objective Offend Exclude Excess Execute Intensify Identity51. excess2. bearing3. objective4. intensify5. execute6. promising7. exclude8. identity 9 offend 10. housing6.1-5 CHDJB 6-10 LMGFA71. are liable to2. in favor of3. is bound to4. speculate about5. invested…with6. stand up for7.in the form of 8. prepared for 9. in the company of10 in succession10In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, the construction ofdigital education resources of our country has made great achievements. Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teachingis playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. On one hand,digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible; on the otherhand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn, allowing people toget access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere.These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one-time learning tolifelong learning.Unit 3 Discovery of a new life stageText A The humanities:Out of date1. Because people in different life stages are confronted with different problems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period have their particular worries and pains.norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduated from college, they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal job leading to their career.3. They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation, continues through college and leads to starting a family and having a career.4. Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle that it has become a trend. As long as the economic situation continues its long slide, this new stage is unavoidable.5. Unlike their parents, a large number of young people are now delaying marriage, child bearing, and even employment during their odyssey years.6. They often resent the pressure they’re feeling and keep a distance from their parents or even run away from home. Many also resort to computer games, iPods, iPhones, or iPads.7. Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children’s o dyssey years continue to stretch without a clear direction.8. The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better, both parents and their children can tackle this phase better. For parents, they can understand their children more; for children, they can explore and discover themselves with a positive attitude.1. peculiar2. radical3. phase4. sensible5. predict6. labeled7. resent8. witnessed9. equivalent 10. parallels-ic Chaotic dramatic academy -ion Depression detection erosion Classification confuse cooperate dictate -ist Rightist journal1. journal2. chaotic3. cooperate4. erosion5. dramatic6.confuse 7. academy 8. rightists 9. depression 10. dictate 11.detection 12. classificationEx. 6K E A C L I G N H O1. saddled with2. back off3. gives way to4. resorted to5. make allowances for6. wonder at7. prior to8. based upon/onEx. 10Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society. Chinesepeople consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony,and the nation’s well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics,it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the familyrelationship for thousand s of years. It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue.The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range.It concludes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generallyspeaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by thesociety, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial pietyis fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.Unit 4 Dance with loveText A College sweetheartsEx. 11. The author uses this sentence to tell her own love story. She didn’t expect that she would end up marrying Butch. He became her boyfriend just because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend. She didn’t really want to marry him at the beginning.2. Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at her all night long. He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight. He looked really wild or maybe even dangerous.3. Because Butch had a “bad boy image” which was very tempti ng to a lot of girls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening. She didn’t know whether she could be getting along with him.4. Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun. In her opinion, college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5. Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find out if she was the “right” date in the eyes of Butch, thinking o f herself as a traditional girl.6. It means that Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad situation. The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from the university.7. Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in front of her friends, he was always a perfect gentleman at his core. And they had a pure and responsible relationship for seven years.8. The author and her husband’s faithful journey of love that started with a causal attraction but bloomed into a mature love proves that romantic love can last longthrough the ups and downs in life.Ex. 31. confess2. tempting3. commence4. coordinating5.granted 6. deserved 7. displayed 8. consequently 9. lodged10. proceedEx. 4-edContented compress complicate -ion Identification justification qualification Illustration exhibit extension Interpretation plantation perceptionEx. 51. qualifications2. perception3. plantations4. compressed5.exhibit 6. contented 7. interpretation 8. complicate 9. illustration10. extension 11. identification 12. justificationEx. 6N B G I H L E M K CEx. 71. on her behalf2. took the liberty of3. immune to4. werefilled with 5. fall in love with 6.

Every year, some big businesses organize variousactivities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. As a result, the QixiFest ival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”. The Qixi Festival isderived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. The legend holds that on thisparticular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd. So, peoplecan see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi. Onthis night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage.But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing. All that remainsis the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuouslycirculated among the folk.Unit5 The money gameText A Spend or save-The student’s dilemma1. contradict2. paradox3. perspective4. explicit5. suspended6.derive 7. defy 8. retains 9. manipulating 10. tackleEx4-er browse browsermessage messenger consumer consume -ion negotiate negotiationobject objection react reaction constitute constitutioncultivate cultivation define definition expand expansion concentration concentrate civilization civilize1. concentrated2. messenger3. civilized4.

This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.Unit6 Less is moreText A Door closer,are youReading comprehension Understanding the text11 He was imposing on his troops a necessary sacrifice to achieve victory over their opponents. By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentrated on the battles.2 The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational human behavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.3 The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say "NO" to any opportunities that came to them. In everyday life, people just give excuses to keep options open.4 Students should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with thehighest cash. They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.5 Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuring future cashearnings. What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.6 Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computerin the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing awaylittle by little.7 He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegatetasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.8 People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy and attentionin a more concentrated fashion.

It is also a tool that measures the levels of economic development and people's livelihood and happiness in a country or region. With the fast growth of Chinese economy, the Chinese government has been paying more and more attention to people's living quality and the increase of happiness index. The government stresses improvement of its people's livelihood, striving to improve their economic conditions and meet their growing material and cultural needs. Currently, the Chinese government advocates the unleashing of more reform dividends, with the aim of offering more real benefits to its people. All these measures will combine to effectively increase the NHI of our people.Unit7 Women:Making a differenceTextA Women at rhe management levelin use1. harnessWord building 4.-al/-ial fate fatal horizon horizontal mechanic mechanical occasion occasional proportion proportionan logical logic deny denial commercial mommerce -ity relative relativity prior priority continue continuity actual actuality 5.6.5.

Embroidery, with at least two or three thousand years of history, is one of the Chinese traditional folk arts and crafts. Since most embroiderers are women, it's also called "women's needlework". Embroidery has been much-loved by the Chinese people. It can be used to beautify clothing and things. For example, clothes, quilts, pillowcases etc. can be embroidered with beautiful designs, or a piece of embroidery can be made for a special ornament. There are four most famous types of embroidery in China: Suxiu from Suzhou, Yuexiu from Guangdong, Xiangxiu from Hunan, and Shuxiu from Sichuan, each having its own style and theme. Among the four, Suzhou embroidery has enjoyed the highest reputation.Unit 8 Human rights vs. Animal rightsText A Animals or children-A scientist’s choice understanding the text:1. He became a children’s doctor because of this love for children and his strong desire to keep them healthy.2. He is thought of having no moral compass: He tortures innocent animals for his career advancement and his experiments having nothing to do with medicine.3. The public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance to them,while the senator and politicians continue to give way to the lobbying of animalrights activists4. The author does not really admit their mistake, but the tone is apparently ironic,criticizing that the physicians were too soft to respond to the animal rightsactivists.5. Life is cruel to both animals and hum an beings . if the physician don’t createan animal model of the problem, they have to do experiments on human beings, or themedical knowledge will remain static.6. Drugs to cure infection will remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostictechniques will remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes willremain mysteries.7. Because protection from serious sickness and drugs as well as most complexsurgical procedures were initially developed in animals instead of human beings8. If the more radical members of this movement are successful in threateningfurther research, their efforts will bring about a tragedy that will cost the livesof many human beings.

The government has taken a series of important measures to protect and improve the ecological environment, such as actively promoting key ecological projects, enhancing ecosystem construction and biodiversity conservations, establishing a number of nature reservation, ecological demonstration zones, scenic spots and forest parks. One of the important goals of building a socialist harmonious society is to strengthen ecological protection and construction and to achieve harmony between man and nature. Environmental protection and ecological civilization construction have provided a solid foundati on for the sustainable development of China’s economy and society.。

Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at her allnight long. He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight. He lookedreally wild or maybe even dangerous.3. Because Butch had a “bad boy image”which was very tempting to a lot of girls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening. She didn ’t know whether she could be getting along with him.4. Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun. In her opinion, college wassupposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5.

By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentratedon the battles.2 The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational humanbehavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.3 The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say "NO" to any opportunities that came to them. In everyday life, people just give excuses to keep options open.4 Students should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the highest cash. They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.5 Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuring future cashearnings. What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.6 Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computerin the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing away little by little.7 He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegatetasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.8 People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy and attentionin a more concentrated fashion. They will have more with fewer, carefully chosenoptions.31 implement2 rival3 motivating4 discarded5 fluctuating6 prejudiced7 restore8 enlightening9 profit 10 investigateWord building 4 Words learned New words formed-ic strategy strategic sympathy sympathetic -ion confirm confirmationlocate location reflect reflection provide provisioninstall installation register registrationquotation quote -ize sympathy sympathize criticcriticize industrial industrialize51 sympathize2 confirmation3 strategic 4installation 5 quote 6 sympathetic 7 criticize8 location 9 reflection 10 industrialize 11 provision 12 registration Banked cloze61 M2 D3 H4 05 F6 L7 I8 C9 J 10 AExpressions in use 7I was attached to 2 be measured in 3 come in handy 4 clinging to 5 paya big price 6 are exhausted from 7 imposed on 8 revolve around10National Happiness Index (NHI) is an index that measures how happy people are.

He became a children ’s doctor because of this love for children and hisstrong desire to keep them healthy.2. He is thought of having no moral compass: He tortures innocent animals for hiscareer advancement and his experiments having nothing to do with medicine.3. The public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance to them, while the senator and politicians continue to give way to the lobbying of animalrights activists4. The author does not really admit their mistake, but the tone is apparently ironic, criticizing that the physicians were too soft to respond to the animal rightsactivists.5. Life is cruel to both animals and human beings . if the physician don’t create an animal model of the problem, they have to do experiments on human beings, or the medical knowledge will remain static.6. Drugs to cure infection will remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostictechniques will remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes will remain mysteries.7. Because protection from serious sickness and drugs as well as most complexsurgical procedures were initially developed in animals instead of human beings8. If the more radical members of this movement are successful in threateningfurther research, their efforts will bring about a tragedy that will cost the lives of many human beings.
