Unit 1 Your college years1你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化？你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标？你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化？尽管大学生很少想这些，但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。
2在这段时期，学生们正经受自我认同危机，他们努力要了解自己的身份，掌握自身的优缺点。
当然，优缺点他们兼而有之，且两者都为数不少。
重要的是人们如何看待自己，其他人又如何看待他们。
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论，根据他们的观点，性格特征是由先天基因（即父母的遗传物质）所决定，由外部环境而形成，并受偶然事件的影响的。
人们受环境的影响，反过来也影响他们的环境。
人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。
3学生们经历自我认同危机的时候，他们也开始渐渐独立，但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。
这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。
事实上，这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。
高中一毕业，一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。
这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。
但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我，因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。
41984年4月杰利弗·A·霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》，文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。
第一，独立处理日常生活的能力，它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力，如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。
第二，态度独立，即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。
第三个心理分离过程是情感独立，霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。
例如，大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业，而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。

课文翻译Title: The Importance of Education正文：教育在现代社会中起着至关重要的作用。
它是一种获取知识和培养技能的过程，可以帮助人们实现自己的潜力并为社会做出贡献。
在现代社会中，教育被视为一种基本权利，每个人都应该有平等接受教育的机会。
通过教育，人们可以获得专业知识和技能，为将来的工作做好准备。
教育还可以帮助人们培养思考和分析问题的能力，提高他们的创造力和创新能力。
教育也对个人的发展和成长至关重要。
通过接受教育，人们可以发展出他们的潜能，掌握新的技能和知识，从而实现自我成长和进步。
教育可以帮助人们提高自信心，培养积极的态度，并为实现个人目标做好准备。
除了个人和社会的发展，教育还可以对整个国家的发展起到重要的推动作用。
一个教育水平高的国家往往更加繁荣和发达。
教育可以培养高素质的人才，提高国家的整体竞争力。
教育还可以帮助国家解决各种社会问题，促进社会和谐与稳定发展。
然而，尽管教育的重要性被广泛认可，但仍然存在一些挑战和问题。
例如，教育资源不平衡问题导致了教育机会的不公平分布。
一些地区和家庭可能缺乏适当的教育资源，导致教育的质量和效果不尽如人意。
此外，教育过程中的压力和竞争也对学生产生了巨大的压力，可能影响他们的身心健康。
为了解决这些问题，社会应该加大对教育的投入，提高教育资源的平衡性，并为学生提供更好的学习环境和条件。
同时，教育系统也需要不断改革和创新，以适应日益变化的社会和经济需求。
总的来说，教育是现代社会不可或缺的一部分。
它对个人的发展、社会的进步以及国家的发展都起着重要的作用。
我们应该重视教育，为每个人提供平等的教育机会，并共同努力建设一个更加公平和繁荣的社会。
Uint 11.It is wrong to raise our children the way we grow flowers in the greenhouse.

And conflicts are sure to occur because there always exist different views and interests among nations.3.We are proud of our accomplishments, and we have reason to be.

An average computer can store the information of a small library.5.That construction company is not qualified to handle the project. They do not have any legal document to certify that they have the necessary expertise. We must find a company that specializes in building theatres.6.These think tanks do not make decisions. They are out to generate new ideas and penetrating analyses that will be extremely useful for decision makers.7.The growth of GDP is not everything. Our country cannot be said to have been modernized unless the quality of our people's lives is really improved.8.Poor as we were in many ways at that time, we were still quite happy as children, for there was clean air, clean water, a lot of fish, crabs and eels in the rivers, lakes, and ponds; and a lot of flowers, trees andbirds in the fields.9.Give absolute power to any individual or any particular group of people, and that person or group is sure to abuse that power because, just as Lord Acton says, Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.10.Traditionally in our country, school education was always said to be more important and useful compared with all other pursuits.Unit 21.You know what?

In any case, it is a Russian folk song.6.Besides the usual weekend housework, I also have a whole pile of homework to do tomorrow. It's really terrible.7.To demonstrate our unhappiness over the recent dispute, we put off our Foreign Minister's visit indefinitely.8.It's getting dark. The next town is still two hours' drive away.

I couldn't imagine a man like him making such stupid remarks.5.After testing her loyalty many times, he was now going to give her the most dangerous task.6.I hear that Lincoln delivered an extremely powerful speech on that occasion. Whatever did he actually say?7.That this time they must be ready to challenge death was clear to everybody. But no one regretted this move.8.As accidents go/As far as accidents are concerned, there was nothing out of the ordinary: a crazy young man drives a car on a university campus and kills a young woman student. What is unusual is the fact that the man dares to challenge the people who want to take him to court, because his father is a local police officer.9.Every time/Whenever we decide on a financial policy, we have to make a clear distinction between short-term interests and long-term interests.10.Although it was early October, people could already be seen driving across the frozen river.Unit 51.The government will have to decide when and how to put brakes on the economy before it speeds out of control.2.Why waste money building an airport in the middle of nowhere?

A suspect wouldn't usually look so appealing. But finally the police identified him to be the true murderer through a DNA test.3. Huangdi is regarded as the very first farmer in our history while his wife was the first weaver.4. Please give my best regards to my friends there. I really miss them all.5. Whenever possible young people prefer to earn their own living than live off their parents.6. The North demanded the military exercise be called off, but the South refused. Instead they demanded an open apology from the North for the gun fire.7. This place has earned itself quite a reputation for developing a green economy.8. Being young, they are often inclined to look at things from the bright side.9. Scientists have identified the frozen body as a young hunter who lived about six thousand years ago.10.

Uint 71.As a child, he was exposed to great works of literature, for both his parents were wellread2.The military announced that they had succeeded in developing a new stealth fighter.3.They're trying tocome up with practical ways to reduce production costs for this4.Most people think that all things considered , life is much better today than it was 30 years ago.5.Success doesn't only depend on what you do.

But to shift the emphasis from export to domestic consumption takes time.4.Even with all these home appliances, it is impossible to do away with/eliminate domestic labor completely.5.Our town must have looked this way three hundred years ago. Many old buildings were about to fall in ruins. Some of our leaders wanted to tear them down and put up new tall buildings in their place. Butdue to lack of money, the plan had to be abandoned. Looking back that was actually a blessing. Today our town has become a tourist attraction.6.Ironically, sometimes the more we increase production, the more we decrease profit.7.This project has occupied too much of my time. I could not launch a new project even if I wanted to.8.To tell the truth, I'm more worried about social stagnation than economic slowdown. Of course, you may not share my view.9.Sadly enough, not everyone realizes that if we do not improve our educational standards, we will lag behind other countries for ever.Unit 91.Mr. Lin has always concerned himself with the desertification problem.

And I consider myself terribly inadequate in this respect.8.However we differ in our opinion, we must face the challenge together.9.The way I define a good education is that, when you get through it, you not only know how to make a living, but you also know how to live.Unit 101.There is a popular children's story, which describes the adventures of a wooden puppet that comes to life as if by magic.2.Your humorous analysis of the situation made the discussion lively.3.This ancient building has been restored to its original beauty.4.You know, for me, to go and live up in the mountains is to recapture my happy childhood.This overcoat alone is not enough to protect you from the bitter cold in Canada.5.6.The fruit growers were all happily expecting a good harvest this year when the terrible snow storm struck, doing great damage to the ripening fruits.7.Too much sugar will not do you any good.

On occasions like this ,usually you would feel insulted and boil with indignation . But he did not lose his temper. This showed his moral character.。

课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4“我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。
笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。
接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪，快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
