新世纪大学英语第三册课文翻译Unit2 textA你的爱有多深|1, 有人认为爱如浮云，有人认为爱坚强如铁，有人认为爱是一种生活方式，有人认为爱是一种感觉，有人说爱要执着，有人说爱不要约束，有人说爱是生命的全部，有人说不知道爱为何物。

2 在我们生命中的某个阶段，我们会经历难以名状的情感。

这种情感只能体会，无法用语言描述。

莫大的喜悦伴随着丝丝的伤感一同降临，这就是爱。

3 在紧张忙碌的生活中，我们竟能找到时间，沉湎于感情之中，这确实令人感佩。

然而，此时我想知道：我们是否懂得爱到底有多么深刻。

记得上学的时候，我迷恋的对象真是数不清：我的数学老师、邻居的儿子、好朋友的弟弟，还有另外一些因为眼睛的颜色、胡子的形状或走路的姿势而让我倾慕的人。

年少时的爱慕，不会带来伤害，如肥皂泡一样转瞬即逝。

那些稚气、大胆的想法和行为，现在想来大可一笑了之。

但是，在那时，对我来说，没有比恋爱更重要的事了。

接着就进入了真正“谈〞情“说〞爱的阶段。

4我在女子学校学习，和男孩子交往的时机寥寥无几，因此，我热切地期待着我们学校和男子学校举办的交谊会。

交谊会上，一群精心打扮的年轻男子毫无顾忌地盯着我们。

这三个小时中的点点滴滴，成了我们在以后四个星期中足够的谈资，我们在议论时，心情澎湃。

5即使是在那个时候，我也没有真正交男朋友的需要。

、6在我的成长岁月中，不知何故，我相信爱情该来的时候自然会来。

事实果真如此。

当我有了稳定的工作，有了长期的方案和比拟安定的生活〔我现在还不到25岁呢！〕时，爱情降临了。

我也比拟成熟了，能够步入不贪图许多回报而需要大量付出的感情关系。

7 我的爱情是在友谊这块地基上建起的高楼大厦。

爱情经过旷日持久的培养才开花。

我和我的恋人相互理解、同甘共苦、相互关心，投入了丰富的感情，才使爱情开展到今天。

爱情意味着情投意合。

你也许会说，我属于浪漫的传统派。

但是，依我看，爱情需要培养。

我们必须把爱情同强烈而短暂的激情或身体的愉悦区别开来。

新视界大学英语综合教程第三册Unit4Activereading课文及翻译Unit 4 Active readingWork in Corporate America1 It is not surprising that modern children tend to look blank and dispirited when informed that they will someday have to “go to work and make a living”. The problem is that they cannot visualize what work i s in corporate America.2 Not so long ago, when a parent said he was off to work, the child knew very well what was about to happen. His parent was going to make something or fix something. The parent could take his offspring to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired a buggy or built a table.3 When a child asked, “What kind of work do you do, Daddy?” his father could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with, such as “I fix steam engines” or “I make horse collars”.4 Well, a few fathers still fix steam engines and build tables, but most do not. Nowadays, most fathers sit in glass buildings doing things that are absolutely incomprehensible to children. The answers they give when asked, “What kind of work do you do, Daddy?” are likely to be utterly mystifying to a child.5 “I sell space.” “I do market research.” “I am a data processor.” “I am in public relations.” “I am a systems analyst.” Such explanations must seem nonsense to a child. How can he possibly envision anyone analyzing a system or researching a market?6 Even grown men who do market research have trouble visualizing what a public relations man does with his day, and itis a safe bet that the average systems analyst is as baffled about what a space salesman does at the shop as the average space salesman is about the tools needed to analyze a system.7 In the common everyday job, nothing is made any more. Things are now made by machines. Very little is repaired. The machines that make things make them in such a fashion that they will quickly fall apart in such a way that repairs will be prohibitively expensive. Thus the buyer is encouraged to throw the thing away and buy a new one. In effect, the machines are making junk.8 The handful of people remotely associated with these machines can, of course, tell their inquisitive children “Daddy makes junk”. Most of the workforce, however, is too remote from junk production to sense any contribution to the industry. What do these people do?9 Consider the typical 12-story glass building in the typical American city. Nothing is being made in this building and nothing is being repaired, including the building itself. Constructed as a piece of junk, the building will be discarded when it wears out, and another piece of junk will be set in its place.10 Still, the building is filled with people who think of themselves as working. At any given moment during the day perhaps one-third of them will be talking into telephones. Most of these conversations will be about paper, for paper is what occupies nearly everyone in this building.11 Some jobs in the building require men to fill paper with words. There are persons who type neatly on paper and persons who read paper and jot notes in the margins. Some persons make copies of paper and other persons deliver paper. There arepersons who file paper and persons who unfile paper.12 Some persons mail paper. Some persons telephone other persons and ask that paper be sent to them. Others telephone to ascertain the whereabouts of paper. Some persons confer about paper. In the grandest offices, men approve of some paper and disapprove of other paper.13 The elevators are filled throughout the day with young men carrying paper from floor to floor and with vital men carrying paper to be discussed with other vital men.14 What is a child to make of all this? His father may be so eminent that he lunches with other men about paper. Suppose he brings his son to work to give the boy some idea of what work is all about. What does the boy see happening?15 His father calls for paper. He reads paper. Perhaps he scowls at paper. Perhaps he makes an angry red mark on paper. He telephones another man and says they had better lunch over paper.16 At lunch they talk about paper. Back at the office, the father orders the paper retyped and reproduced in quintuplicate, and then sent to another man for comparison with paper that was reproduced in triplicate last year.17 Imagine his poor son afterwards mulling over the mysteries of work with a friend, who asks him, “What’s your father do?” What can the boy reply? “It beats me,” perhaps, if he is not very observant. Or if he is, “Something that has to do with maki ng junk, I think. Same as everybody else.”在美国大公司工作1 要是有人跟现在的孩子说他们长大后要“去工作以谋生”，他们往往会表现出一脸的茫然和沮丧，这并不奇怪。

1. 被告是位年仅30岁的女子，她坚持称自己无罪。

新视野大学英语第三版第三册课文翻译Unit 1 The Way to Success课文ANever, ever give up!永不言弃！As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。

当时他可不是个好学生，要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。

英语阅读第一单元课文翻译 Active Reading两种判断判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。

我们往往认为所有的判断都属于第一种。

如果能意识到哪些是第一种而哪些不是的话，我们也许会更幸福。

第一种判断，即把正确地判断一个人作为最终目的的判断，包括法院判决、考试成绩及大部分比赛。

这些判断当然可能会有误判，但因为其最终目的是正确地判断一个人，通常会有某种类似于上诉的程序。

如果你觉得别人没有正确评价你，你可以表示反对，说你受到了不公平的待遇。

几乎所有对孩子的判断都属于第一类，所以在小时候我们就养成了这种习惯，认为所有的判断都是这样。

但实际上还有更广泛地存在着的第二类判断，在这种判断中，对你作出判断只是做另一件事的手段。

这包括大学招生、聘用及作投资决定，当然也包括在约会时作出的判断。

这种判断并不是真正意义上对你作出的评价。

假设你要为国家队挑选运动员。

简单起见，假设这是一个没有位置要求的运动，并且你需要挑选二十个运动员。

有一些明星运动员肯定要在队里，还有许多肯定不能入选。

只有那些难作取舍的情况会让你的判断产生差别。

即使你搞砸了，低估了排在第二十名的运动员，使他落选了，他的位置被排在第二十一名的运动员所代替，你还是组建了一支好的队伍。

如果运动员之间的能力分配正常，第二十一名运动员只会比第二十名略微逊色，或者他们之间的差距比测量误差还要小。

那位排在第二十名的运动员可能会觉得自己被错误地判断了。

但是在此你的目的不是为人们提供能力评估服务，而是组建一支队伍，如果排名第二十位的与排名第二十一位的运动员之间的差距比测量误差还小，你还是作了最佳选择。

用‚不公平‛来形容这种‚不正确的判断‛是一种错误的类比。

因为在此目的不是为了对某个特定的个体作出正确的评估，而是选择合理的最佳组合。

在此，会误导我们的一点是选择者看起来有点权力。

这点权力会让人们认为他像个法官。

1 What is FriendshipMichele E. Doyle & Mark K. SmithWhen we approach the notion of friendship, our first problem is that there is a lack of socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. Therefore, people tend to have a very thin understanding of what friendship really means. To help us understand what friendship really means, we need to review some classical views of friendship.One classical view of friendship is provided by Aristotle, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle distinguishes between what he believes to be genuine friendships and two other forms: one based on mutual usefulness, the other on pleasure. So, according to Aristotle, we may find three kinds of friendship:Friendship based on utility. Utility is an impermanent thing: it changes according to circumstances. When the ground for friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. Friendships of this kind seem to occur most frequently between the elderly, because at their age what they want is not pleasure but utility. Friendships based on utility are also frequently foundamong those in middle or early life who are pursuing their own advantage. Such persons do not spend much time together, because sometimes they do not even like one another, and therefore feel no need of such an association unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure in each other's company only in so far as they have hopes of advantage from it.Friendship based on pleasure. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. As they grow up, however, their tastes change too, so that they are quick to make and to break friendships. That is why they fall in and out of friendship quickly, changing their attitude often, even within the same day.Friendship based on goodness. Perfect friendship is based on goodness. Only the friendship of those who are good, and similar in their goodness, is perfect. The conduct of good men is the same or similar. It is between good men that both love and friendship are chiefly found and in the highest form. Such friendships are rare and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. And no two persons can accept each other and become friends until each has proved to the other that he is worthy of love, and so won his trust. The wish for friendship may develop rapidly, but true friendship does not.Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines "the good" as "those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions." The friendship between good men, based on virtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. All human beings are bonded together in a community of shared reason. Therefore, in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate. It is virtue that creates and preserves true friendship.Thus, we may see that the traditional idea of friendship is made up of three components: Friends must enjoy each other's company; they must be useful to one another; and they must share a commitment to the good. According to the classical views, virtuous friends are bound together, as they recognize each other's moral excellence. To perceive a friend, therefore, is to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. Through networks of such virtuous friends, we can develop a shared idea of the good and pursue it together. Friendship of this kind is permanent, because in it are united all the attributes that friendsought to possess.友谊的真谛米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯我们探讨友谊这个概念时，遇到的第一个问题是，没有社会公认的择友标准。

新世纪大学英语第三册读写课文翻译新世纪大学英语综合教程3课文翻译UNIT 1送给史蒂维的一点心意1 我力求不存偏见，不过在雇用史蒂维时我有理由心存疑虑。

他的就业顾问向我保证，说他会成为出色、可靠的餐馆杂工。

我从未雇过智障的员工，是否要招收一位，我举棋不定。

我的顾客会有什么反应， __把握。

史蒂维是个矮个儿，胖墩墩的，如其他唐氏综合症患者一样，面部光滑，口齿不清。

2 对大多数来就餐的卡车司机们，我还是很放心的。

只要食物好，馅饼地道，他们基本不在乎谁收碗碟。

真正让我担心的是那些高谈阔论的大学走读生，那些因惧怕”路边餐馆的细菌”而用餐巾悄悄擦拭银餐具的雅皮士势利眼儿们，还有那些穿白色衬衫、使用公款消费、认为餐馆里每个女服务员都渴望调情的商务人员。

我知道，史蒂维在这里工作，他们会感到别扭，所以开头几个星期我密切地关注着他。

3 我的担心是多余的。

第一周过后，史蒂维就抓住了我每位员工的心。

不足一个月，我的老顾客 ? 那些卡车司机们 ? 就正式认定史蒂维为卡车司机休息站的吉祥人物。

自此以后，我不再介意其他顾客的看法了。

4 史蒂维21岁，蓝色牛仔裤，耐克运动鞋，满面笑容，讨人喜爱，极端地敬业。

他收拾好一张餐桌后，盐瓶和胡椒瓶归于原位，丝毫不差，桌面不见一点面包屑、一滴咖啡液。

5 我们唯一的问题是得说服他等待客人用餐完毕再去收拾桌子。

他总是在不起眼的地方守候，左右脚替换着支撑体重，眼睛巡视整个餐厅。

一看见哪张餐桌边的客人都离去，他立即赶过去，仔细地把碗碟收拾到餐车上，拿起抹布细密地擦桌子，动作娴熟、夸张。

若他觉得有顾客正在看他，他就会眉头紧锁，更加专注。

工作一丝不苟，这是他自豪的源泉。

他取悦面前的每一个人，那煞费苦心的劲头真是惹人喜爱。

6 后来，我们得知史蒂维和母亲一起生活。

他母亲是个寡妇，因患癌症多次经历手术而落下残疾。

母子俩靠社会保险金生活，住在离餐馆两英里以外的廉租房里。

社工人员偶尔登门看望，说他们母子生活着实艰辛贫困。

Unit 1 Active readingTwo kinds of judgement1 There are two different ways people judge you. Sometimes judging you correctly is the end goal. But there’s a second much more common type of judgment where it isn’t. We tend to regard all judgments of us as t he first type. We’d probably be happier if we realized which are and which aren’t.2 The first type of judgment, the type where judging you is the end goal, includes court cases, grades in classes, and most competitions. Such judgments can of course be mistaken, but because the goal is to judge you correctly, there’s usually some kind of appeals process. If you feel you’ve been misjudged, you can protest that you’ve been treated unfairly.3 Nearly all the judgments made on children are of this type, so we get into the habit early in life of thinking that all judgments are.4 But in fact there is a second much larger class of judgments where judging you is only a means to something else. These include college admissions, hiring and investment decisions, and of course the judgments made in dating. This kind of judgment is not really about you.5 Put yourself in the position of someone selecting players for a national team. Suppose for the sake of simplicity that this is a game with no positions, and that you have to select 20 players. There will be a few stars who clearly should make the team, and many players who clearly shouldn’t. The only place your judgment makes a difference is in the borderline cases. Suppose you screw up and underestimate the 20th best player, causing him not to make the team, and his place to be taken by the 21st best. You’ve still picked a good team. If the players have the usual distribution of ability, the 21st best player will be only slightly worse than the 20th best. Probably the difference between them will be less than the measurement error.6 The 20th best player may feel he has been misjudged. But your goal here wasn’t to provide a service estimating people’s ability. It was to pick a team, and if the difference between the 20th and 21st best players is less than the measurement error, you’ve still done that optimally.7 It’s a false analogy even to use the word unfair to describe this kind of misjudgment. It’s not aimed at producing a correct estimate of any given individual, but at selecting a reasonably optimal set.8 One thing that leads us astray here is that the selector seems to be in a position of power. That makes him seem like a judge. If you regard someone judging you as a customer instead of a judge, the expectation of fairness goes away. The author of a good novel wouldn’t complain that readers were unfair for preferring a potboiler with a racy cover. Stupid, perhaps, but not unfair.9 Our early training and our self-centeredness combine to make us believe that every judgment of us is about us. In fact most aren’t. This is a rare case where being less self-centered will make people more confident. Once you realize how little most people judging you care about judging you accurately – once you realize that because of the normal distribution of most applicant pools, it matters least to judge accurately in precisely the cases where judgment has the most effect –you won’t take rejection so personally.10 And curiously enough, taking rejection less personally may help you to get rejected less often. If you think someone judging you will work hard to judge you correctly, you can afford to be passive. But the more you realize that most judgments are greatly influenced by random, extraneous factors – that most people judging you are more like a fickle novel buyer than a wise and perceptive magistrate – the more you realize you can do things to influencethe outcome.11 One good place to apply this principle is in college applications. Most high school students applying to college do it with the usual child’s mix of inferiority and self-centeredness: inferiority in that they assume that admissions committees must be all-seeing; self-centeredness in that they assume admissions committees care enough about them to dig down into their application and figure out whether they’re good or not. These combine to make applicants passive in applying and hurt when they’re rejected. If college applicants realized how quick and impersonal most selection processes are, they’d make more effort to se ll themselves, and take the outcome less personally.两种判断1 判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。

Unit 3 Active readingVincent van Gogh1 Between November of 1881 and July of 1890, V incent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings, but never achieved fame. Y et since his death, he has become one of the most celebrated painters in the world.2 The two most important but apparently independent features about van Gogh which most people know about are his spectacular, almost explosive, use of colour and the poor state of his mental health, which brought his life to a sad end.3 Y et, according to medical resear ch since van Gogh’s death, it now seems that these two features may be linked, and that his mental health may have contributed to his artistic style, not just at the end of his life, but at earlier times as well.4 V an Gogh was born in Holland in 1853, and his early career working for an international art dealer took him to London, Paris and Belgium. When he decided to become a painter in 1880 with the support of his brother Theo, his early work was, not surprisingly, filled with the gloomy light of Northern Europe.5 In Paris van Gogh met many of the artists later known as Impressionists, such as Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro and Gauguin. His style changed under their influence, and became lighter and brighter. He used small strokes of primary colours (red, blue and yellow) and complementary colours (purple, orange and green). He was also sensitive to the more abstract style of Gauguin’s paintings, where shapes of objects are represented by distinct zones of colour.6 Y et despite working in such an enco uraging atmosphere, van Gogh could not equal his friends’ growing success. He was unable to pay for models, and so he painted a large number of self-portraits, which may indicate his potential for soul searching.7 V an Gogh soon grew discouraged with his life in Paris, and moved to Arles in the south of France, where, drawn by the sunshine, he hoped to establish an artists’ community. He felt liberated by the people, the buildings and the scenery there, and painted them with vivid, passionate colours and a cheerfulness which was new to him and his career. He was keen for Gauguin to visit him, and finally persuaded him to make the journey. The paintings of Sunflowers and his home were partly intended as a welcome to Gauguin, partly a reflection of his happiness. But because of the intensity of van Gogh’s friendship for him and hostile disagreements about their working methods, Gauguin left Arles. At this event, van Gogh cut off part of his own right ear.8 V an Gogh spent several desperate periods in a mental hospital over the next two years because of his depression and his concern that he had heard voices. His style became more experimental, with stronger lines and sharper colours, always dominated by the green of the olive trees, the blue of the sky and the spectacular yellow of the sun. This was the period of his greatest output and some success, with the famous The Starry Night and other paintings being well-received by critics at the annual exhibition in Paris.9 But these very productive periods were matched by moments when despair prevailed, during which he doubted his ability to create a work of value. In a delicate state of mind, van Gogh returned to a friend near Paris and continued his work. In 1890 he shot himself, taking two days to die.10 So what is the link between his love of intense colour and his destructive mental state?11 We now know more about mental and physical illness, and their effects. V an Gogh suffered from epilepsy, an illness which leads to fits, and which may have been caused by a defect in the brain at birth. This was made worse by drinking absinthe, a popular but dangerous alcohol often drunk by artists at the time. His doctor prescribed a drug which can cause the patient to see everything in yellow or to see yellow spots. This may have been why van Goghloved the colour.12 V an Gogh experienced a surge of activity, after which he became tired and depressed. We now recognize these to be symptoms of bipolar disorder. He also used lead-based paints, exposure to which can lead to lead poisoning. One of the symptoms of lead poisoning is a swelling of the retinas in the eyes, which can cause one to see light in circles around objects. We can see this effect in paintings such as The Starry Night.13 Another condition linked to epilepsy and manic behaviour is the spontaneous need to write continuously. V an Gogh wrote over 800 letters to his brother, Theo, which might be the result of this condition.14 V an Gogh wanted his paintings to be realistic, so he worked outdoors. Some of the episodes of aggressiveness and feeling sick may be the effects of sunstroke.15 Finally, hearing voices is a well-established symptom of schizophrenia, a serious mental illness which changes the relationship between what you think and reality.16 We talk about the genius necessary to produce great works of art. In van Gogh’s case, his genius, especially in his use of colour, may be due to his mental health. As art lovers, we acknowledge that van Gogh produced some of the greatest paintings the world has ever known, and gave inspiration to so many later artists. But we should not overlook the mental torture he suffered for his art.文森特·凡·高1 在1881年11月至1890年7月之间，文森特·凡·高大约画了900幅画，却没有成名。

新世纪大学英语第三册原文每段翻译UUNIT 4：How to grow old|如何变老|Bertrand RussellIn spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal grandfather, it is true, was cut off in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remoter ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off.A great grandmother of mine, who was a friend of Gibbon, lived to the age of ninety-two, and to her last day remained a terror to all her descendants. My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, one who died in infancy, and many miscarriages, as soon as she became a widow, devoted herself to women's higher education. She was one of the founders of Girton College, and worked hard at opening the medical profession to women. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his melancholy and he said that he had just parted from his two grandchildren. "Good gracious", she exclaimed, "I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a dismal existence!" "Madre snaturale," he replied. But speaking as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable brevity of your future."1 尽管文章的标题是“如何变老”，真正要谈的却是如何不老。

Unit 2 Active readingThe glass castle1 I never believed in Santa Claus.2 None of us kids did。

Mom and Dad refused to let us. They couldn’t afford expensive presents，and they didn't want us to think we weren’t as good as other kids who，on Christmas morning, found all sorts of fancy toys under the tree that were supposedly left by Santa Claus. So they told us all about how other kids were deceived by their parents，how the toys the grown—ups claimed were made by little elves wearing bell caps in their workshop at the North Pole actually had labels on them saying MADE IN JAPAN。

3 “Try not to look down on those other children,” Mom said。

“It’s not their fault that they’ve been brainwashed into believing silly myths。

”4 We celebrated Christmas，but usually about a week after December 25，when you could find perfectly good bows and wrapping paper that people had thrown away and Christmas trees discarded on the roadside that still had most of their needles and even some silver tinsel hanging on them. Mom and Dad would give us a bag of marbles or a doll or a slingshot that had been marked way down in an after-Christmas sale.5 Dad lost his job at the gypsum mine after getting in an argument with the foreman, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all。
