大学英语综合教程4课后翻译

美国梦对不同的人有着不同的含义。

但对许多人，尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。

对于他们，美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。

托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬那么高，但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地的一个遍地是石头的农庄。

他什么时候以及怎么到美国的，我不清楚。

不过，有天晚上，我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。

他身高五英尺七、八左右，人很瘦。

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

我问他叫什么名字。

“托尼·特里韦索诺，”他回答说。

“我割你的草坪。

”我对托尼讲，本人雇不起园丁。

“我割你的草坪，”他又说道，随后便走开了。

我走进屋子，心里有点不快。

没错，眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过，可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢？等我第二天晚上下班回到家，草坪已修整过了，花园除了草，人行道也清扫过了。

我便问太太是怎么回事。

“有个人把割草机从车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来，”她回答说。

“我还以为是你雇他来的。

”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。

我俩都觉得奇怪，他怎么没提出要工钱。

接下来的两天挺忙，我把托尼的事给忘了。

我们在尽力重整业务，要让一部分工人回厂里来。

但在星期五，回家略微早了些，我又在车库后面看到了托尼。

我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪，就这样托尼每天轻扫院子，有什么零活，他都干了。

我太太说，但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的，他挺派得上用场。

夏去秋来，凉风阵阵。

“克罗先生，块下雪了，”有天晚上托尼跟我说。

“等冬天到了，你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。

”啊，对这种执着与期盼，你又能怎样呢？自然，托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

几个月过去了。

我让人事部门送上一份报告。

他们说托尼干得挺棒。

一天我在车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。

“我想当学徒，”他说。

Old Father Time Becomes a TerrorRichard Tomkins1 Once upon a time, technology, we thought, would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us, leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure.时间老人成了可怕的老人理查德·汤姆金斯从前，我们以为技术发展会使我们的生活变得更安逸。

那时我们觉得机器会替代我们工作，我们则有越来越多的时间休闲娱乐。

2 But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate: as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium. And as each invention arrives, it eats further into our time.但技术发展没有把我们解放出来，而是使我们成为奴隶。

新技术纷至沓来，令人目不暇接：一年涌现的技术创新相当于以前一千年。

而每一项新发明问世，就进一步吞噬我们的光阴。

3 The motorcar, for example, promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility. But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horse-drawn carriage, and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams.比如，汽车曾使我们希望个人出行会方便得让人难以想象。

Unit 1攻势已经持续了三天,但是我们并没有取得多少进展。

师长命令我们营夜晚绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击.然而，要绕到敌人后方,我们必须越过一片沼泽地。

我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。

我们营长决定冒一下险。

所幸由于寒冷天气沼泽地都结上了冰，我们于天亮前到达目的地并从敌人后方发起进攻。

这一下扭转了战局。

敌人没有戒备，不就便投降了。

The offensive had lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack。

To do this we have to cross a marshland, and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Luckily enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which had made the marshland freeze over, we arrived our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear。

This had turned the tide of the battle。

The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered。

Unit2汽车自从发明以来使交通运输发生了革命性的变化，永远地改变了人们的生活、旅行和办事的方式。

Unit 11 ．只管我在那家企业有时机升职，我仍旧选择了走开，去从事我热爱的工作。

Although I could have been promoted in that company, I chose to leave in order topursue a career that I love.2 ．你最初要遵照的不是你的老板，而是这个行业的规则。

The first thing you need to comply with is not your boss, but the rules of theindustry.3 ．一份好的简历是找到工作的第一步，所以今日我们提出议论的是怎样写份好简历。

A well-prepared resume is the first step in finding a good job, so what we bringup for discussion today is how to write a good resume. 4．人们工作常常是为了糊口，而不是出于喜好。

More often than not, people are working for the sake of earning a livingrather than for their interest.5 ．据面试官反应，大多数接受面试的毕业生都说不出他们能为企业做些什么。

According to the feedback from the interviewers,most of the graduates who attended the interview couldn’ t make clear what they can contribute to the company.Unit21 念书不不过影响到个人，还影响到整个民族。

(not only + inversion; as a whole)Not only does reading influence a single person, but it also influences a nationas a whole.2. 和老者在一同就像是读一本厚厚的书，令人爱不忍释。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1: Cultural DifferencesText A: Understanding Cultural DifferencesPart ICulture Shock and Its EffectsCulture shock refers to the feeling of disorientation and confusion that individuals experience when living in a new cultural environment. It occurs when people are suddenly confronted with unfamiliar customs, traditions, languages, and behaviors that differ from those of their own culture.The effects of culture shock vary from person to person. Some individuals may feel anxious, lonely, or even depressed. Others may become frustrated or irritated by the differences they encounter. These symptoms can have a significant impact on individuals' mental and emotional well-being, making it crucial to develop strategies to cope with culture shock effectively.Part IIAdapting to a New CultureAdapting to a new culture requires an open mind and a willingness to learn and embrace new customs and traditions. It is essential to approach cultural differences with respect and curiosity, avoiding making hasty judgments or stereotypes.Language is often a significant barrier when adapting to a new culture. Learning the local language can greatly enhance communication andunderstanding, enabling individuals to connect with the local community and build meaningful relationships.Part IIIThe Importance of Cultural SensitivityDeveloping cultural sensitivity is vital in today's interconnected world. It involves being aware of and respectful towards cultural differences and understanding that there is no absolute right or wrong. By adopting a culturally sensitive mindset, individuals can navigate cross-cultural interactions more successfully and avoid misunderstandings or conflicts.Cultural sensitivity also plays a crucial role in global business and diplomatic relations. Being knowledgeable about cultural norms and practices can help individuals build trust and establish long-lasting partnerships.Part IVTips for Overcoming Culture Shock1. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or support groups who have experience living in the same or a similar culture. They can offer guidance and advice on how to cope with culture shock.2. Embrace new experiences: Rather than shying away from new customs and traditions, actively participate and embrace them. This can help foster a sense of belonging and facilitate cultural integration.3. Be patient: Adapting to a new culture takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and others, and remember that adjusting to a new environment is a gradual process.Text B: Cultural Differences in EducationPart IThe Role of Education in Different CulturesEducation plays a central role in shaping individuals and societies. However, the goals and methods of education vary significantly across cultures. In some cultures, rote memorization and obedience to authority are emphasized, while others focus on critical thinking and creativity.Part IIViews on Teaching and LearningDifferent cultures hold diverse perspectives on teaching and learning. In some cultures, the teacher is viewed as the sole authority figure and imparts knowledge to passive students. In contrast, other cultures emphasize student participation and encourage critical thinking and independent learning.Part IIIClassroom DynamicsCultural differences also manifest in classroom dynamics. In some cultures, students are encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and engage in lively discussions. In contrast, other cultures value silence and respect for authority, where students listen attentively to the teacher without interrupting or challenging their views.Part IVEducation and Social MobilityThe role of education in social mobility varies across cultures. In some societies, education is seen as the primary means to improve one's social status and economic opportunities. In contrast, in more collectivist cultures, the emphasis may be on maintaining societal harmony rather than individual achievement.Text A Translation: 《理解文化差异》第一部分文化冲击及其影响文化冲击指的是个体在新的文化环境中所体验到的迷失和困惑感。

When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decide to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.Test yourself u1 to u4Globallization by the bookGlobalization is actually quite easy to define. It is simply an extension of economic freedoms beyond national boundaries. Many years ago I got a chance to enjoy the freedom that globalization brings when on my 20th birthday. I boarded a plane that brought me from Bombay 孟买to New York. And when I landed in New York it was still my 20th birthday and I celebrated it by eating Chinese food that came in funny little white containers I‘d never seen before。

新世纪大学英语综合教程4u n i t1课文逐段翻译-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Unit 1Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。

他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。

人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物，无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。

我们与大自然血肉相连，离开大自然，我们将无法生存。

Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中，同时也在改变着大自然。

他们时刻被⼤⾃然所包围并与之相互影响。

⼈类呼吸的空⽓、喝下的⽔和摄⼊的⾷物，⽆⼀不令⼈类时刻感知到⼤⾃然的影响。

我们与⼤⾃然⾎⾁相连，离开⼤⾃然，我们将⽆法⽣存。

2 ⼈类不仅⽣活在⼤⾃然之中，同时也在改变着⼤⾃然。

⼈类把⾃然资源转变为各种⽂化、社会历史的财富。

⼈类降服并控制了电，迫使它为⼈类社会的利益服务。

⼈类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的⽓候环境下，也改变了他所⽣活环境的地貌和⽓候，并使动植物因之⽽发⽣转变。

3 随着社会的发展，⼈类对⼤⾃然的直接依赖越来越少，⽽间接的依赖却越来越多。

我们远古的祖先⽣活在⼤⾃然的威胁及破坏⼒的恐惧之中，他们常常连基本的⽣活物资都⽆法获取。

然⽽，尽管⼯具不甚完备，他们却能同⼼协⼒，顽强⼯作，并总是有所收获。

在与⼈类的相互作⽤中，⼤⾃然也发⽣了改变。

森林被破坏了，耕地⾯积增加了。

⼤⾃然及其威⼒被看成是和⼈类敌对的东西。

譬如，森林被认为是野性的和令⼈恐惧的，因此⼈类便想⽅设法使其⾯积缩⼩。

这⼀切都是打着“⽂明”的旗号进⾏的，所谓“⽂明”，就是指⼈类在那些地⽅建⽴了家园，那些地⽅的⼟地得以耕耘，那⾥的森林已被砍伐。

4 然⽽，随着岁⽉的流逝，⼈类越来越关注的是在何处以及如何得到⽣产所需的不可替代的⾃然资源的问题。

科学与⼈类改变⼤⾃然的实践活动已经使⼈类意识到了⼯业在改变地球的进程中对地质产⽣的重⼤影响。

5 ⽬前，⼈与⾃然以及⾃然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡，已呈现崩溃的迹象。

⽣物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为严重。

⼈类和社会的需求，即便是像淡⽔⼀样的物质，也变得越来越难以满⾜。

清除⼯业废物的问题也变得⽇益复杂。

6 现代技术的特征是⽣产和使⽤⽇益丰富的⼈⼯合成产品。
