大学英语泛读第三版book213.全文翻译(五篇范文)第一篇:大学英语泛读第三版book2 13.全文翻译After Twenty YearsO'Henry 二十年以后欧亨利The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively.The impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were few.The time was barely 10 o'clock at night, but chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh depeopled the streets.一个执勤的警察正沿街巡逻,很认真,他一直都这样认真,并不是做给谁看的。
差不多是晚上十点了,街上行人寥寥无几,冷风飕飕地吹着,有种雨水的味道。
Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace.The vicinity was one that kept early hours.Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter;but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.他灵巧地来回转着手里的警棍,每家每户都仔细查看,警觉的目光不时地投向安静的街道,这个警察,身材强壮,昂首阔步,俨然一个和平守护者。

Unit5Since Steve spent much of his life in situations where he did not interact with many different people ,he didn’t experience the variety of communicative interactions and receive the subsequent feedback that other children his age experienced.由于斯蒂夫大部分时间生活在很少与人沟通的环境中,因此他没有经历过各种各样的互动式沟通,也没有得到其他同龄孩子所经历的相应的回馈。
His communication problems made it difficult to assess his intelligence, so it was not until he was in high school that special educators finally judged that his IQ was probably borderline between”normal”and “impaired”.由于他交流有困难,因而很难评价他的智力水平,直到他上高中时,特殊教育专家才最终判定他的智商可能介于“正常”和“弱智”之间。
Because of his multiple handicaps, Steve’s school placement was always problematic. He was originally placed in classes for physically disabled children.由于斯蒂夫患有多种疾病,他的分班问题始终难以解决。
最终他被分在肢体残疾儿童的班级。
Consequently, accepting help is much less difficult for Steve than it is for many people who become disabled later in life and therefore have more difficulty reconciling there desire to be independent with their need to be more independent than they used to be .因此,与许多后天形成的残疾的人相比,斯蒂夫更容易接受别人的帮助;而那些人则很难将他们对独立性的渴望与他们比以往更需要依赖别人的需求结合起来。

大学英语精读第三版第二册Unit 1The dinner party 晚宴I first heard this tale in India, where is told as if tru e -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine sho rtly before the First World War. That magazine story, and t he person who wrote it, I have never been able to track d own.我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。
The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their g uests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a ba re marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.故事发生在印度。
某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。
跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。

第一单元:梦想的阴暗之面艾力克斯? 哈利许多人怀有美好的愿望,期望能成为作家,但是能够梦想成真的人不多。
艾力克斯? 哈利也想成为作家,可是他成功了。
阅读下面这篇文章,看一看他成功的原因。
许多青年人对我说,他们想成为作家。
我一直鼓励这样的人,但是我也向他们解释“成为作家”和写作之间存在着巨大的差别。
多数情况下这些年轻人梦寐以求的是财富与名誉,从未想到要孤身一人长久地坐在打字机旁。
“你们渴望的应该是写作,”我对他们说,“而不应该是当作家。
”事实上,写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作。
有一个被命运之神垂青的作家,就有成千上万个永远无法实现梦想的人。
即使那些成功人士也经常受到长久的冷落,穷困不堪。
我便是其中之一。
我放弃了在海岸警卫队做了二十年的工作,为的是成为一名自由撰稿人,这时,我根本没有前途可言。
我所拥有的只是一位住在纽约市的朋友,乔治? 西姆斯,他和我是在田纳西州的赫宁一起长大的。
乔治为我找了个家,位于格林威治村公寓大楼中的一间腾空的储藏室,而他是那幢大楼的管理员。
房子里冷嗖嗖的,没有卫生间,不过这没什么。
我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机,感觉自己颇象一位名符其实的作家。
然而,大约一年后,我的写作生涯依然没有任何起色,我开始怀疑自己。
卖出一篇小说是如此艰难,以至我几乎填不饱肚子。
但是,我清楚的是我想写作,我已梦寐以求了许多年。
我并不准备成为一名到死时还在想假如的人。
我会坚持把我的梦想付诸实践-- 即使这梦想意味着不稳定的生活和对失败的恐惧。
这是希望的阴暗面,任何心存梦想的人都必须学会在这阴暗面下生存。
后来有一天,我接到了一个电话,由此改变了我的一生。
这并不是一位代理人或编辑打来电话,主动要求与我签大的稿约。
恰恰相反-- 是一声鸣笛,诱使我放弃梦想。
打电话来的是海岸警卫队的老熟人,现在在旧金山。
他曾经借给我几美元,喜欢催我还给他。
“我什么时候才能拿到那十五美元,艾力克斯?”他逗我说。
“等我下一次卖出作品吧。
大学英语泛读第二版第三册Unit2课文翻译UNIT 2 英国人的谨慎和礼貌在许多人看来,英国人极为礼貌,同他们交朋友很难。
但愿下列文字能够帮助你更好地了解英国人的性格特点。
对于其他欧洲人来说,英国人最著名的特点是“谨慎”。
一个谨慎的人不太会和陌生人聊天,不会流露出太多的情感,并且很少会兴奋。
要了解一个谨慎的人并非易事;他从不告诉你有关他自己的任何事,也许你和他工作了几年,却连他住在哪儿,有几个孩子,兴趣是什么,都不知道。
英国人就有类似的倾向。
如果乘公共汽车去旅行,他们会尽量找一个没人坐的位子;如果是乘火车,他们会找一个没人的单间。
如果他们不得不与陌生人共用一个单间时,那么即使火车驶出了很多英里,他们也不会开口交谈。
一旦谈起来的话,他们不会轻易问及像“你几岁?”或者甚至“你叫什么名字?”等私人问题。
像“你的手表是在哪儿买的?”或者“你的收入是多少?”这样的问题几乎不可想象。
同样,在英国,人们交谈时一般声音都很轻、很有节制,大声谈话会被视为没有教养。
在某种程度上,不愿意与他人交流是一种不幸的品质,因为它可能会给人造成态度冷淡的印象。
而事实上,英国人(也许除了北方人)并不以慷慨和好客而著称。
而另一方面,虽然谨慎使他们不易与人沟通,但他们内心还是很有人情味的。
如果一个陌生人或外国人友善地将这种隔阂打破那么一会儿,他们可能会满心欢喜。
与英国人的谨慎紧密相连的品质是英国式的谦逊。
在内心深处,英国人可能比任何人都高傲,但是当他们与别人相处时,他们十分看重谦逊的品质,至少要表现出谦虚的样子。
自我标榜会被认为没有教养。
让我们假设,有一个人非常擅长打网球,但如果有人问他是否是个优秀选手时,他很少会说“是”,不然,人们会认为他很高傲。
他可能会作出类似这样的回答,“不算太差,”或者“嗯,我非常喜欢网球。
”这样的自我贬低是典型的英国式的。
而且当这一品质与他们的谨慎混合在一起时,常常形成一种漠然的气氛,这在外国人看来难于理解,甚至令人恼火。
