https://www.doczj.com/doc/6113634901.html,n-American success is typically taken to ratify the American Dream and to prove that minorities can make it in this country without handouts.
亚裔美国人的成功总被用做美国梦的例证，用来证明那些少数民族在这个国家依靠自己也能取得成功。
2.Earlier this year, the publication of Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother incited a collective airing out of many varieties of race-based hysteria.
今年早些时候，蔡美儿所著《虎妈的战歌》一书的出版激起了各种带有种族成见的歇斯底里之词。
3.There are no set-asides for the underprivileged or, conversely, for alumni or other privileged groups. There is no formula to encourage “diversity”or any nebulous concept of “well-roundedness”or “character.”
学校不会留出名额给贫困学生，另一方面，也不会对校友及特权群体加以照顾。学校的招生政策并不鼓励多元化或者是全面发展、个性这样模糊不清的观念。
4. You could frame it, as some aggrieved Asian-Americans do, as a simple issue of equality and press for race-blind quantitative admissions standards. In 2006, a decade after California passed a voter initiative outlawing any racial engineering at the public universities, Asians composed 46 percent of UC-Berkeley’s entering class 你可以把它说成是一个简单的平等问题，并强烈要求入学标准不许在录取数量上有种族歧视。2000年，也就是在加利福尼亚通过选民的提议宣布在公立大学内任何根据种族背景耍弄花招的行为为非法的十年后，加州大学伯克利分校的新生中亚裔占到了46%.
5.Before having heard from Mao, I had considered myself at worst lightly singed by the last embers of Asian alienation. Indeed, given all the incredibly hip Asian artists and fashion designers and so forth you can find in New York, it seemed that this feeling was destined to die out altogether.
和毛聊过之前，我原以为我最多不过就是稍稍被亚裔疏离感残留的炭火所灼伤。
的确，当你在如今的纽约见到那么多新潮的亚洲艺术家和时装设计师时，你好像会觉得这种感觉注定会完全消失。
Unit2
1.When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant---c combined gardener and cook--had seen in at least ten years. 男人们去是出于一种敬慕之情，因为一个纪念碑倒下了。女人们则大多数出于好奇心，想看看艾米丽小姐的房子里面到底是什么样子的，因为除了一个做花匠兼厨师的老男仆之外，起码有10年光景谁也没进去看看这幢房子了。
2. And now Emily had gone to join the representatives of those august names where they lay in the cedar-bemused cemetery among the ranked and anonymous graves of Union and confederate soldiers who fell at the battle of Jefferson. 不过，现在艾米丽小姐也加入到那些名门望族代表的行列中，他们沉睡在雪松环绕的墓园之中，那里尽是一排排南北战争时期杰费森战役中阵亡的南方和北方的无名战士墓。
3. Alive, Miss Emily had been seen a tradition, a duty and a care; s sort of hereditary obligation upon the town...... 艾米丽小姐在世时，一直是传统的化身，履行责任和给予关照的对象，这是全镇人沿袭下来的一种义务......
4. They were admitted by the old Negro into a dim hall from which a stairway mounted into still more shadow. 老男仆把他们引进光线黯淡的门厅，厅里的楼梯通向更加阴暗的楼上。
5. ......and when they sat down, a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sunray. ......他们落座时，一股细细的灰尘在大腿周围慢慢扬起，尘粒在房间里唯一的太阳光束中缓缓地旋转着。
6. Her skeleton was small and spare; perhaps that was why what would have been merely plumpness in another was obesity in her. 因为她的骨架小，换了别人只是有点丰满，而到她身上就显得肥胖了。
7. So the next night, after midnight, four men crossed Miss Emily’s lawn and slunk about the house like burglars, sniffing along the base of the brickwork and at the cellar openings while one of them performed a regular sowing motion with his hand out of a sack slung from his shoulder. 于是，第二天午夜之后，有四个人穿过艾米丽家的草坪，像夜盗一样绕着屋子潜行，沿着墙角一带以及在地窖的通风处使劲地嗅着，其中一人从背在肩上的袋子里不时掏出什么东西，不断做着播种的动作。
8. They had not even been represented at the funeral. 他们连葬礼也没派人参加。
9. Miss Emily just stared at him, her head tilted back in order to look him eye for eye, until he looked away and went and got the arsenic and wrapped it up. 艾米丽就那样瞪着他，她的头向后仰，以便能与他对视，一直看得他转移了目光，走进去取了砒霜并包好。
10. Now and then we would see her in one of the downstairs windows----she had evidently shut up the top floor of the house ---- like the carven torso of an idol in a niche, looking or not looking at us, we could never tell which. 不时地，我们在楼下的窗口能看见她的身影，显然她已经封闭了楼上。她的身影就像供奉在神龛里的一尊佛像的躯体，也许她在看着我们，也许没有，我们也搞不清楚。
UNIT 3
1. The law, Holmes said, is what the courts say it is.Nothing more.Nothing less.In similar fashion,we might say that the news is what televison directors and journalists say it is.In other words,when you turn on your television set to watch a network or local news show,whatever is on is,by definition,the news.
霍尔姆斯说，什么是法律？法院说什么是法律就是法律。如此而已，岂有它哉。同样地，我们也可以说，电视新闻负责人和新闻记者们说什么是新闻也就是新闻。换言之，当你打开电视机观看新闻台或地方新闻节目的时候，不管它们讲了些什么，根据定义而言，这就是新闻。
2.This helps a little but leaves open the question of what is ”important and interesting ”and how that is decided.
这当然有些帮助，但是到底什么是重要或有趣的事情，对此如何判断？这个问题仍然没有解决。
3. … every news story is a reflection of the reporter who tells the story. The reporter’s previous a ssumptions about what is ―out there edit what he or she thinks is there.
……每一个新闻故事都反映出讲述这个故事的记者本人。记者之前对前去采访的地方会遇到什么情况的种种假设，会对他或她在那里的所见所闻进行删减。
4.Each of our senses is a remarkably astute censor. We see what we expect to see; often, we focu s on what we are paid to see.
我们的每一种感官都是极其敏锐的审查官。我们见到的往往是我们想要看到的东西。我们常常只集中注意力去看付了钱叫我们去看的东西。
5. There is, in fact, a point of view that argues against journalists imposing their own sense of sign ificance on an audience.In this view,television news should consist only of those events that would interest the audience.The journalists must keep their own opinions to themselves.
实际上，有一种观点是不认同新闻记者把他们对事情重要性的观点强加于观众的。这种观点认为，电视新闻只应该呈现那些能使观众感兴趣的事件。新闻记者必须把自己的意见放在自己肚子里。
6. Her experiences, they may say, are amusing or diverting, certainly engrossing. In other words, t he purpose of news should be to give people pleasure, at least to the extent that it takes their mi nds off their own troubles.
他们会说，她的那些经历很有趣，很有娱乐性，非常引人入胜。换句话说，新闻的目的应该是给观众带来快乐，起码要做到让他们忘记自己的烦心事。
7. News, we might say,may be history in its first and best form,or the stuff of literature,or a record of the condition of a society,or the expression of things,but in its worst form it can also be mainly a ”filler”, a ”come-on” to keep the viewer’s attention until the commercials come.
我们可以说，新闻是最初始而且形式最好的历史，是文学的原材料，是社会状态的记载，是其他某些事物的表现；但是就其最坏的形式而言，新闻也可以是在广告开始之前竭力吸引观众注意力的一种填充和引诱手段。
UNIT 4
1.Each of the trees on the place had an attitude and a presence—the elm looked serene and the oak threatening,the maples friendly and the hawthorn old and crabby.
这里的每一棵树都表现出某种神态和气质。比如，榆树看上去宁静安详而橡树则咄咄逼人，枫树亲切友好，而山楂树则老气横秋、脾气暴躁。
2.There was a keen alarm when the cry came,a wire zinging through your whole body,a fanatic feeling of devotion.
当他呼喊我时，我会紧张万分，全身就像有电流流过一样，一种狂热的忠诚感油然而生。
3.One morning,of course,the job was all finished,the well capped,the pump reinstated,the water marvelled at.
一天早晨，工作全部完成，这是意料中的事。井上了盖子，水泵重新安装好了，大家对井水赞叹不已。
4.In my kitchen or in hers,once a week or so,distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep,we stoked ourselves up on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out on a rampage of talk—about our marriages,our fights,our personal deficiencies,our interesting and discreditable motives,our forgone ambitions.
我们大约每周都要在我家或她家厨房小聚一次。孩子们总是打扰我们，有时我们还会因为缺觉而感到头晕目眩，于是我们就用大量的浓咖啡和香烟给自己提神，开始天南地北地聊天，关于我们的婚姻、奋斗、个人的不足、既有趣又有些丢脸的动机，以及我们曾有过的理想抱负。
5.Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmaking and making up again the bed he had left for me.塞妮给了他干净的床单，免得在他留给我的床上重新叠被、铺床。
6.My sleep was shallow,my dreams monotonously lustful,wit irritating and unpleasant subplots. 我睡地很浅，没完没了地做着充满情欲的梦，中间还穿插着令人不快的小情节。
7.The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable,but close up there were little openings,the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made.
紧挨着草地边上的灌木丛看上去似乎无法穿过，但走近了可以看到一些小缺口和窄窄的小径，这是被动物或找高尔夫球的人们踩出来的。
8. It looked as if a large portion of the sky had detached itself and was bearing down,bustling and resolute,taking a not quite recognizable but animate shape.
看上去好像天空的一大部分脱离出来，喧闹着、果断地压向地面，那形状虽然说不出具体像什么，但像是一种活物的样子。
9.This was more of a ritual,a recognition of survival rather than of our bodies’ inclinations.
我们拥抱并不是出于身体的渴望，这更像是一种庆祝劫后余生的仪式。
10.Love that was not usable,that knew its place.Not risking a thing yet staying alive as a sweet trickle,an underground resource.
爱不是被利用，我们十分清楚它应在的位置。我们不拿它来冒险，而是让它像涓涓细流慢慢地流淌，仿若地下资源。将爱封存，让它静静地沉淀。
Unit 5
1.Solar radiation—largely visible and ultraviolet light—is a vast stream of energy that bathes the Earth’s surface, fluctuating from day to night and season to season. 太阳辐射—主要是可见的紫外线—是日复一日，年复一年沐浴着地球表面的巨大的能量。
2.We have been tampering with this powerful force, unaware, like the Sorcerer’s
Apprentice, of the potentially disastrous consequences of our actions.
我们一直在滥用这股强大的力量，就像传说中的魔术师的师弟一样，并没有意识到我们的这种行为很可能会导致灾难性的后果。
3.Even if the global warming catastrophe never materializes, and the ozone hole remains an esoteric, polar phenomenon, already human activity has profoundly altered global conditions in ways that may not register on the camera
即使全球变暖这种灾害永不发生，即使臭氧层空洞仍然只是一种深奥的极地现象，人类的活动已经极大地的改变了全球的条件，这些也许是用照相机拍不出来的. / 尽管温室效应的灾难还没有真正成为现实，臭氧层空洞还一直是神秘的极地现象，然而人类的活动可能正以照相机并不能记录的方式深刻地影响了全球的环境。
4.The human attack on the ecosphere has instigated an ecological counterattack.
人类对生态圈的攻击引发了生态的反攻。这两个世界目前处于战争状态。
5.It is also the producer of organic waste that nourishes microorganisms and ultimately aquatic plants; the consumer of oxygen produced photosynthetically by the plants; the habitat of parasites; the fish hawk’s prey.
鱼还产生有机肥料，而有机肥料为微生物和水生植物提供营养；鱼消耗氧气，而氧气是植物通过光合作用产生的；鱼还是寄生虫的栖息地，鱼也是鱼鹰的猎物。
6.A car, for example, imposes itself on the neighborhood rather than being defined by it; the same car is sold for use on the densely packed Los Angeles freeways or in a quiet country village.
例如，一辆汽车从不考虑具体环境如何，而总是强迫环境接受它。同样的汽车销售并使用于某种环境，不管是拥挤的洛杉矶高速公路，还是一个安静的小村子。
7.Yields rose, but not in proportion to the rate of fertilizer was taken up by the crop and progressively more drained through the soil into groundwater, in the form of nitrate that contaminated rivers, lakes, and water supplies.
农作物的产量是增加了，但并没有以使用化肥的同样速度增长。年复一年，大量化肥被使用，土壤中的氮肥饱和，农作物吸收的化肥越来越少，化肥逐渐渗透土壤，以硝酸盐的形式进入地下水，污染河流湖泊以及水资源。
8.In such a closed, circular system, there is no such thing as “waste”; everything that is produced in one part of the cycle “goes somewhere” and is used in a later step.
在这个封闭式的循环系统中，根本不存在所谓的废料，因为循环系统的某一环节产生的东西有处可去，在下一个环节中得到利用。
9.The energy sources that now power the technosphere are mostly fossil fuels, stores that, once depleted, will never be renewed
现在技术圈运作的能源主要是矿物燃料，一旦用完，将永不再生。
10.In contrast, when the debts represented by environmental pollution are created by the technosphere and transferred to the ecosphere, they are never canceled, damage is unavoidable. 相反，当债务以技术圈制造的环境污染的形式出现，然后又转嫁到生态圈，这种债务将无法消除，造成破坏是不可避免的。
11.Thus simplified, the issue attracts simplistic solutions: reduce the number of people; limit their share of nature’s resources; protect all other species from the human marauder by endowing them with “rights.”
将问题如此简单化必然导致解决方式的简单化，比如，减少人口；限制人类对自
然资源的占有；赋予所有其他物种“权利”以此保护它们不受人类的掠夺。12.The purpose is less a lament over the war’s numerous casualties than an inquiry into how future casualties can be prevented.
此书的目的主要是探讨如何防止未来的危害，而不是对已经造成的无数损失表示悲叹。

美国这朵玫瑰花以其华贵与芳香让观众倾倒，赞不绝口，而她之所以能被培植就是因为在早期其周围的花蕾被插掉了，在经济生活中情况亦是如此。这是自然规律和上帝的意志在起作用

它已成为经济上收入不菲的行业
6.There is…no form of oppression that is quiet so great, no constriction on thought and effort quiet so comprehensive, as that which come from having no money at all 没有哪种压迫比身无分文更厉害，也没有哪种对思想和行为的束缚比一无所有来得更全面彻底

……政府管得越少越好……
7. Indeed,the whole ideological enterprise contradicted Jefferson’s temper, which was basically flexible and experimental.
说实在的，杰斐逊一生在意识形态体系上所做的努力与他的性格是相矛盾的。他的性格特征基本上是灵活的、从经验出发的。
8. Indeed, I would suggest that we might well banish some overloaded words from intellectual discourse. These words no longer have clear meanings. They are sources of heat, not of light.

青年人的四种选择 Lesson 2: Four Choices for Young People 在毕业前不久，斯坦福大学四年级主席吉姆?宾司给我写了一封信，信中谈及他的一些不安。 Shortly before his graduation, Jim Binns, president of the senior class at Stanford University, wrote me about some of his misgivings. 他写道：“与其他任何一代人相比，我们这一代人在看待成人世界时抱有更大的疑虑 ,, 同时越 来越倾向于全盘否定成人世界。” “More than any other generation, ” he said, “ our generation views the adult world with great skepticism, there is also an increased tendency to reject completely that world. ”很 明显，他的话代表了许多同龄人的看法。 Apparently he speaks for a lot of his contemporaries. 在过去的几年里，我倾听过许多年轻人的谈话，他们有的还在大学读书，有的已经毕业，他 们对于成人的世界同样感到不安。 During the last few years, I have listened to scores of young people, in college and out, who were just as nervous about the grown world. 大致来说，他们的态度可归纳如下：“这个世界乱糟糟的，到处充满了不平等、贫困和战争。 对此该负责的大概应是那些管理这个世界的成年人吧。如果他们不能做得比这些更好，他们又能拿 什么来教育我们呢？这样的教导，我们根本不需要。” Roughly, their attitude might be summed up about like this:“ The world is in pretty much of a mess, full of injustice, poverty, and war. The people responsible are, presumably, the adults who have been running thing. If they can’ t do better than that, what have they got to teach our generation? That kind of lesson we can do without. ” 我觉得这些结论合情合理，至少从他们的角度来看是这样的。 There conclusions strike me as reasonable, at least from their point of view. 对成长中的一代人来说，相关的问题不是我们的社会是否完美（我们可以想当然地认为是这 样），而是应该如何去应付它。 The relevant question for the arriving generation is not whether our society is imperfect (we can take that for granted), but how to deal with it. 尽管这个社会严酷而不合情理，但它毕竟是我们惟一拥有的世界。 For all its harshness and irrationality, it is the only world we’ ve got. 因此，选择一个办法去应付这个社会是刚刚步入成年的年轻人必须作出的第一个决定，这通 常是他们一生中最重要的决定。 Choosing a strategy to cope with it, then, is the first decision young adults have to make, and usually the most important decision of their lifetime. 根据我的发现，他们的基本选择只有四种： So far as I have been able to discover, there are only four basic alternatives: 1）脱离传统社会

高级英语第二册课文翻译 Unit1 Pub Talk and the King's English 酒吧闲聊与标准英语 亨利?费尔利 人类的一切活动中，只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊，而且是人类特有的一种活动。动物之间的信息交流，不论其方式何等复杂，也是称不上交谈的。 闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。它时而迂回流淌，时而奔腾起伏，时而火花四射，时而热情洋溢，话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。要是有人觉得“有些话要说”，那定会大煞风景，使闲聊无趣。闲聊不是为了进行争论。闲聊中常常会有争论，不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。事实上，真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲，但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了，插话的机会随之而失，他们也就听之任之。 或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧，我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解，他们只是临时凑到一起来的，彼此并无深交。他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂，或恋爱失败，或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿，但别人根本不管这些。他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样，虽然日夕相处，却从不过问彼此的私事，也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。 有一天晚上的情形正是这样。人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉，从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。谈了半天也没有一个中心话题，事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处，中心话题奇迹般地出现了。我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的，那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。 “几天前，我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语，指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。” 此语一出，谈话立即热烈起来。有人赞成，也有人怒斥，还有人则不以为然。最后，当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样，由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。于是，问题便解决了。不过，酒馆闲聊并不需要解决什么问题，大伙儿仍旧可以糊里糊涂地继续闲扯下去。 告诉她“标准英语”应作那种解释的原来是个澳大利亚人。得悉此情，有些人便说起刻薄话来了，说什么囚犯的子孙这样说倒也不足为怪。这样，在五分钟内，大家便像到澳大利亚游览了一趟。在那样的社会里，“标准英语”自然是不受欢迎的。每当上流社会想给“规范英语”制订一些条条框框时，总会遭到下层人民的抵制 看看撒克逊农民与征服他们的诺曼底统治者之间的语言隔阂吧。于是话题又从19世纪的澳大利亚囚犯转到12世纪的英国农民。谁对谁错，并没有关系。闲聊依旧热火朝天。 有人举出了一个人所共知，但仍值得提出来发人深思的例子。我们谈到饭桌上的肉食时用法语词，而谈到提供这些肉食的牲畜时则用盎格鲁一撒克逊词。猪圈里的活猪叫pig，饭桌上吃的猪肉便成了pork(来自法语pore)；地里放牧着的牛叫cattle，席上吃的牛肉则叫beef(来自法语boeuf)；Chicken用作肉食时变成poultry(来自法语poulet)；calf加工成肉则变成veal(来自法语vcau)。即便我们的菜单没有为了装洋耍派头而写成法语，我们所用的英语仍然是诺曼底式的英语。这一切向我们昭示了诺曼底人征服之后英国文化上所存在的深刻的阶级裂痕。 撒克逊农民种地养畜，自己出产的肉自己却吃不起，全都送上了诺曼底人的餐桌。农民们只能吃到在地里乱窜的兔子。兔子肉因为便宜，诺曼底贵族自然不屑去吃它。因此，活兔子和吃的兔子肉共用rabbit

《高级英语》课文逐句翻译（12） 我为什么写作 Lesson 12：Why I Write 从很小的时候，大概五、六岁，我知道长大以后将成为一个作家。 From a very early age，perhaps the age of five or six，I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer. 从15到24岁的这段时间里，我试图打消这个念头，可总觉得这样做是在戕害我的天性，认为我迟早会坐下来伏案著书。 Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to adandon this idea，but I did so with the consciousness that I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to settle down and write books. 三个孩子中，我是老二。老大和老三与我相隔五岁。8岁以前，我很少见到我爸爸。由于这个以及其他一些缘故，我的性格有些孤僻。我的举止言谈逐渐变得很不讨人喜欢，这使我在上学期间几乎没有什么朋友。 I was the middle child of three，but there was a gap of five years on either side，and I barely saw my father before I was eight- For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely，and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. 我像一般孤僻的孩子一样，喜欢凭空编造各种故事，和想像的人谈话。我觉得，从一开始，我的文学志向就与一种孤独寂寞、被人冷落的感觉联系在一起。我知道我有驾驭语言的才能和直面令人不快的现实的能力。这一切似乎造就了一个私人的天地，在此天地中我能挽回我在日常生活中的不得意。 I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons，and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. 我知道我有驾驭语言的才能和直面令人不快的现实的能力。这一切似乎造就了一个私人的天地，在此天地中我能挽回我在日常生活中的不得意。 I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts，and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure 还是一个小孩子的时候，我就总爱把自己想像成惊险传奇中的主人公，例如罗宾汉。但不久，我的故事不再是粗糙简单的自我欣赏了。它开始趋向描写我的行动和我所见所闻的人和事。
