out seriously that how far a social habit can impact an individual behavior as compared with how far an individual behaviour can impact a social habit can be likened to how far a native language can affect the entire vocabulary of a family dialect as compared with how far the entire vocabulary of a family dialect can affect a native language.2.When one seriously studies the social orders that have had the opportunity to develop autonomously ,the figure becomes no more than an exact and matter-of-fact observation.答案：The result from a serious study of various cultures that are allowed to grow with no influence from outside proves to be in complete conformity with the reality.3.Anthropology was by definition impossible as long as these distinctions between ourselves and the primitive,ourselves and the barbarian,ourselves and the pagan,held sway over people’s minds. 答案：No scientific study of people and their cultures can be expected to achieve any fruitful end,where we

institutions whichare based on the same premises,let us say the supernatural,must be considered together,our own among the rest.答案：We should accept that these cultures,which are like ours created by

different children” in place of “slum children”, but what he is doing is to try to turn our attention to an aspect of life that might easily be neglected.6.Saying that someone is “dead”is not to speak

inadequate, for while they may describe a part of the teaching activity,they also suggest patterns that are not fully applicable to teaching.答案：Almost none of the analogies that have been used so far can fully describe what teaching is all about.(or: Nearly all the analogies that have been used so far can only present a partial picture,rather than a complete one,of what teaching is really about.)In this sense,none of them serves as an analogy for teaching.2.Rather than emphasizing the mutuality of the endeavor,each of these common analogies turns ona separation between the professional and his clients.答案：Each of these popular analogies sees the teacher and his students not as an organic unit tied together in a joint effort,but as being isolated from each other.3.The teacher as actor also plays to a passive audience,but he measures success by large numbers. 答案：The teacher,seen in the role of the actor,would be simply lecturing to an audience ,who do not participate, and he would evaluate his performance not by their involvement in class activities,but by the size of the class.4.The mountaineer accepts his leadership role,yet recognizes that the success of the journey(measured

我的祖母不识字，可是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。

小时候我总是缠着她，要她给我讲故事。

而她在忙完家务后，总会把我抱在膝上，一边讲故事一边有节奏地晃动我。

这些故事加上她丰富的表情，深深地吸引住了我。

我父母发现了我对故事的浓厚兴趣，不失时机地引导我进行阅读。

他们给我买了许多带插图的故事书，有空的时候就一遍遍地读给我听。

慢慢地我认识了很多字，能自行阅读了。

直到今天，我还要感谢祖母和双亲。

没有他们，我今天不可能成为一名作家。

Although my grandmother was illiterate,she had a good stack of myths and legends.When I was young I gave her no peace,constantly asking her to tell me stories.After she had finished her ho usework,she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories,all the while rocking me in rhythm.These stories and her expressive face appealed profoundly to me.Having noticed my interest in stories,my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading.They b ought many storybooks with illustations,and whenever free,they would read these stories to me over and over again.By and by I had a vocabulary large to read on my own.Today,I still live in gratitude to my grandmother and my parents.Without them,I could never hav e become a writer.Unit2Diet一项又一项的研究发现，食物和一些慢性病之间有密切关系。

新编大学英语第五册-课文翻译及答案（浙江大学）课文翻译Unit 1 美女还是老虎？很久以前，有一个国王，非常野蛮，想像力却非常丰富。

他出了很多点子，其中一个就是建一个大竞技场来执行裁决。

在那里，罪恶受到惩治，美德得以回报。

当臣民被指控犯罪，而且其罪行足以令国王关注时，就会发布公告，告知在某一指定的日期，被指控者的命运将在国王的竞技场上决定。

所有人都已聚集在观众席上，而在竞技场的一边，国王高高地坐在他的御座上，周围簇拥着他的皇室成员及侍臣。

当所有人就座后，国王就会发出信号，接着他下面的一扇门就会打开，受到指控的臣民从这儿出来，走入竞技场。

在竞技场的另一边，国王的正对面有一模一样的两扇门，紧紧地挨着。

受审者直接走向这两扇门，打开其中的一扇，这是他必须做的事，也是他的特殊待遇。

他愿意打开哪扇门，就打开哪扇门。

他不会得到任何提示，只有凭运气。

他可能打开一扇门，里面会出来一只凶残饥饿的老虎。

老虎立即立即扑向他，将他撕得四分五裂。

这就是对他所犯罪行的惩罚。

但是，如果受审者打开另一扇门，里面会走出一位小姐，她是国王从国内众多美女中挑选出来的，是与他的年龄和身份最般配的；他必须立即与这位小姐结婚，这是对他清白无罪的回报。

也许他已有妻小，也许他已心有所属，但这一切都不重要。

婚礼会立即在竞技场上举行。

那时，钟声敲响，观众欢呼，这位无辜的人则领着他的新娘回家。

这就是国王进行裁决的方式。

其公正性是显而易见的。

如果被告有罪，他将立即受到惩治；如果清白，则当场得到回报。

这种制度非常受欢迎。

其中的不确定因素给这种场合增添了趣味性。

国王有一个漂亮任性的女儿，是国王的掌上明珠。

他爱她胜过爱任何人。

在他的侍臣中，有一位职位较低的年轻人，由于他英俊、勇武，公主爱上了他。

他们幸福地恋爱了好几个月之后，有一天被国王碰巧发现了。

国王立即将年轻人监禁起来，并定下日期要在竞技场审判他。

这样的案子以前从未发生过；以前也从未有任何臣民胆敢爱上国王的女儿。

How do you explain the lack of courtesy?SAMPLE:The author’s answer must be “No”. I agree with her e ntirely. I think the lack of good manners is due to the following reasons:—People haven’t realized the importance of good manners;— There is a general lack of good manners in the society;— Children are not taught to observe courtesy at home and at school.2) The author says that “In a crowded world, manners are of vital importance.” Do you agree? If so, why?SAMPLE:I agree with what the author says in the article. With the increase of population, the world seems smaller. This inevitably causes more inconveniences, troubles, etc. If people do not observe courtesy in their everyday life, there will be quarrels, conflicts and even fights. The whole society will be in chaos. So I think that manners are really of vital importance in the world today.Vocabulary1. home-style (l. 1): like what is made at homeshopper (l. 2): someone who buys things in shopshomeless (l. 4): without a homediner (l. 12): someone who is eating dinner in a restaurantdiscomfort (l. 13): the state of being uneasy/uncomfortabletakeout (l. 14): dissatisfaction, disapprovaldisapproving (l. 21): showing that you think someone or something is bad or undesirableinconsiderate (l. 63): not caring about the feelings, needs or comfort of other peopledispleasure (l. 65): dissatisfaction; disapprovaloversensitive (l. 66): too easily influenced or offendeddisintegration (l.72): the state of becoming weaker or less united and being gradually destroyedbreakdown (l. 73): collapse (n.); failure to progress2.
