课文A参考译文Unit 1冰雪卫士——奈拉?B?史密斯人们常说骄兵必败。
就拿拿破仑和希特勒来说吧,他们取得的一个又一个的胜利让他们相信自己战无不胜,没有什么可以阻挡他们,但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士会证明他们是错的。
1 1812年,法国皇帝拿破仑?波拿巴率领大军进入俄罗斯。
他为面对俄罗斯人民保卫家园而要进行的坚决抵抗做好了准备。
他想到了要经过长途跋涉才能到达俄罗斯的首都莫斯科,为此也做好了准备。
但他没有为在莫斯科会遭遇到的劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷刺骨的寒冬——做好准备。
2 1941年,纳粹德国元首阿道夫?希特勒对当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯发起了进攻。
希特勒的军事力量无可匹敌。
他的战争机器扫除了欧洲大部分地区的抵抗。
希特勒希望在最短的时间内结束战斗,但是,就像他的前人拿破仑一样,他得到了惨痛的教训。
俄罗斯的冬天又一次帮助了苏维埃士兵。
拿破仑发起的战役3 1812年春,拿破仑在俄国边境集结60万大军。
这些士兵都训练有素,有很强的作战能力,而且都有精良的装备。
这支军队被称为“大军”。
拿破仑对迅速胜利充满信心,预言要用5个星期攻下俄国。
4 不久,拿破仑的大军经过涅曼河进入俄国。
拿破仑所期盼的迅速、决定性的胜利并没有出现。
令他吃惊的是,俄国人并没有反抗。
相反,他们一路向东撤退,沿途焚毁庄稼和房屋。
“大军”紧追不舍,但它的前进很快由于后勤补给缓慢而停顿下来。
5 到了8月,法军和俄军在斯摩棱斯克开火,在这次战役中,双方各有上万人死在战场上。
可是,俄国军队又能继续向自己领土的纵深撤退。
拿破仑并没有取得决定性的胜利。
此刻他面临着一个生死攸关的抉择:是继续追击俄军,还是为了度过即将来临的冬天而把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克呢?6 拿破仑决定冒险向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。
1812年9月7日,法俄两军在鲍罗季诺展开激烈的战斗,此地在莫斯科以西112公里外。
夜幕降临时,法军和俄军分别有3万和4.4万名士兵的死伤。
7 俄国军队再次撤退到安全的地方。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: EducationText A: Is College the Best Option?大学是否是最佳选择?Part I: Text A in EnglishText A: Is College the Best Option?Nowadays, the decision to attend college or not is a topic of much debate. With the rising cost of tuition and the uncertainty of job prospects after graduation, many people are questioning whether college is truly the best option.On one hand, a college education has obvious benefits. It provides individuals with the opportunity to gain knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and broaden their horizons. College also offers networking opportunities and the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds, which can be valuable in the professional world. Additionally, many employers still consider a college degree as a minimum requirement for job applicants.On the other hand, the cost of college has skyrocketed in recent years. Tuition fees, accommodation expenses, and textbooks can easily accumulate into a significant financial burden. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a college degree will lead to a well-paying job. In today's competitive jobmarket, having a degree no longer guarantees a successful career. Many college graduates find themselves underemployed or in jobs that don't align with their educational background.Furthermore, alternative pathways such as vocational schools, apprenticeships, or entrepreneurship have proven to be successful for many individuals. These options often provide practical, hands-on training and immediate job placement. For those who have a clear career goal and are willing to put in the effort, skipping college and pursuing alternative paths can lead to quicker entry into the workforce and potential financial success.In conclusion, the decision to attend college or pursue alternative paths depends on individual circumstances and goals. While a college education offers numerous benefits, it is necessary to carefully consider the financial costs and job prospects in today's economy. Ultimately, success in any field requires a combination of education, skills, and determination, regardless of whether one obtains a college degree or not.Part II: Text A in Chinese (课文A:大学是否是最佳选择?)如今,是否上大学成为了一个备受争议的话题。

It tells the tale of the sinking of a ship called The Edmund Fitzgerald that was caught in a storm on Lake Superior back in November 1975, with the loss of all on board.Lake Superior is an enormous lake and the wind can at times make it dangerous to shipping, whipping up huge waves. November is a particularly dangerous month for such storms. This had long ago been noticed by a local native American tribe, the Chippewa, who used to speak of how death threatened from the lake when storm clouds gathered in November. According to legend, the big lake, which they called Gitche Gumee, was without mercy in that month, never giving up those it had marked for death.It is this legend that starts the song before it moves on to talk of The Edmund Fitzgerald. The Edmund Fitzgerald, like many other ships that sail the lake, was built to carry iron ore. Filled with ore theseships lie low in the water and can find themselves in difficulties in rough weather. So, with a full load on board we can imagine the anxiety that must have begun to creep into the hearts of the sailors on board The Edmund Fitzgerald as they felt the cold wind beginning to rise and heard the sound of it singing as it blew through the wires. For, despite the fact that the captain and crew were all experienced, "well-seasoned" as the song says, they all knew the dangers of November storms. Before long their worse fears started to come true and the storm had risen to a hurricane. The despair of the crew is captured in the words of the cook. First he comes on deck to tell the sailors it is too rough to cook, they will have to wait for their supper. The next we hear from him he is saying - $6 - Appendix Igoodbye to his shipmates. Water is pouring into the ship. The captain sends out a distress signal, but that is the last that is heard from the ship. It is swallowed up by the lake, leaving nothing behind but the mourning families of the twenty-nine sailors and the sound of the church bell ringing in their memory.Now lets listen to the song:The Wreck of the Edmund FitzgeraldGordon LightfootThe legend lives on from the Chippewa on downOr the big lake they call Gitche GumeeTke lake, it is said, rfever gives up her deadWhen the skies or November turn gloomyWitk a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons moreThan the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed emptyThat good ship and true was a hone to be chewedWhen the gales of November came earlyTke skip was tke pride of tke American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As tke kig freigkters go, it was kigger tkan most Witk a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms witk a couple of steel firms Wken tkey left fully loaded for Cleveland And later tkat nigkt wken tke skips kell rang Could it ke tke nortk wind tkeyd been feeling Tke wind in tke wires made a tattle-tale soundAnd a wave broke over tke railingAnd every man knew, as tke captain did tooTwas tke witck of Novemker come stealingTke dawn came late and the breakfast had to waitWken the Gales of November came slashingWhen afternoon came it was freezing rainIn the face of a hurricane west windAppendix 1 - 6? -When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayingFellas1, its too rough to reed ya2At seven PM a main hatchway caved in, he saidFellas, its heen good to know yaThe captain wired in he had water coming inAnd the good ship and crew was in perilAnd later that night when his lights went out of sightCame the wreck of the Edmund FitzgeraldDoes any one know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours The searchers all say theyd have made Whitefish Bay If theyd put fifteen more miles hehind her They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and took water And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters JLake Huron rolls, Superior singsIn the rooms of her icewater mansionOld Michigan steams like a young mans dreamsThe islands and hays are for sportsmenAnd farther helow Lake OntarioTakes in what Lake Erie can send herAnd the iron boats go as the mariners all knowWith the Gales of November rememberedIn a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed In the Maritime Sailors Cathedral The church hell chimed til it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald■■.??. !1 fella: (slang) fellow2 ya: (slang) you- 66 - Appendix 1Trie legend lives on irom the Chippewa on down Or the nig lake they call Gitche Gumee Superior, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales or November come earlyPart II Text Alexf Organization": ■■■■■■ -Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-2 Introduction — Both Napoleons and Hitlers military campaigns failed because of the severity of the Russian winter.Part Two Paras 3-11 Napoleons military campaign against Russia Part Three Paras 12-20 Hitlers military campaign against the Soviet UnionPart Four Para 21 Conclusion—The elements of nature must be reckoned with in any military campaign.2.Sections Paragraphs Main IdeasSection One Paras 12-13 Hitlers blitzkrieg against Russia and Stalins scorched earth policySection Two Paras 14-18 the battles fought at Leningrad, Moscow and StalingradSection Three Paras 19-20 the Russian counter-offensive and the outcome of the warVocabularyI. 1. 1) alliance3) stroke5) minus7) declarations2) heroic 4) limp6) regions 8) siege全新版大学英语综合教程课后答下载文件预览://sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第一册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第二册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第三册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第四册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar。

秋风清,秋月明,落叶聚还散,寒鸦栖复惊。 Unit 1 无名英雄:职业父亲意味着什么?
在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时,我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。我们很喜欢这部片子,但随后我丈夫问道:“父亲在哪儿呢?”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。父亲不仅没有出现,他甚至没有被提到—— 尽管家中有婴儿,说明他不可能离开太长时间。影片给人的感觉是,父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节,甚至不需要做任何解释。 新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化,这只是一个例子,它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。 职业母亲(我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的)奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。与此同时,媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候(我怀疑这一说法的可靠性,因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事),或者是在他们去世的时候。当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时,许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。 这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持,我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准:家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬,而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲,所得到文化上的认同却很少,甚至完全得不到。 我们用来讨论父亲角色(即没出息的父亲)的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法,在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时,很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子,同样也适应于男子。我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要 —— 似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。 更让人感到侮辱的是最近媒体的这种倾向,即把家庭主妇看成是一种“地位的象征” —— 就像一辆名贵的汽车,只有据说少数男人才享受得起这种奢侈与豪华。这暗示家里有家庭主妇的男人比那些妻子在外工作的男人日子过得更舒适,因为他们拥有全职管家这种“奢侈品”。然而,实际上作为家庭惟一挣钱者的男人要承受很多压力。当他们的那份工作是家庭收入的惟一来源的时候,失业,或者甚至只不过是受到失业的威胁,对他们来说显然构成更大的困难。同样,家庭惟一的工资收入者在想辞去不太满意的工作时,其灵活程度也要小一些,因为这种工作变换会使他们失去收入。此外,为了给家庭挣更多的钱,许多丈夫超时工作或兼做第二职业。对于这些男人来说,正是这份工作所支撑的家庭,使得他们值得付出努力。很多男人相信母亲呆在家里对小孩十分重要,这种信念使得他们乐意地担起家里惟一挣钱人的担子。 目前,研究者们普遍认为家庭中没有父亲会对小孩 —— 因此对整个社会 —— 带来严重的问题。然而,我们这个社会并没有把“普通”父亲作为正面角色为未来的父亲树立榜样,相反地,却常常持放弃态度,认为传统的父道从最好的方面说是已经过时,从最坏的方面讲就是危险的反动。这使得许多男人对他们作为父亲的角色的价值提出疑问。 作为一个社会,我们需要认识到对于孩子来说,父亲是与母亲同等重要的,不仅仅在经 济支持上,而且在感情依靠、教育和纪律训导方面都是如此。我们仅仅意识到没有父亲是一个问题是不够的,也不能只是站在坟墓旁边哀悼“顾家好男人”的去世,随后又找一个人来替代他(请问一问已失去父亲的人,这是否可能)。我们必须承认我们是如何贬低了父道的价值,我们必须努力向男人们显示,他们在孩子们的生活中是多么不可缺少,多么重要。 那些每天都在努力去爱和支撑他们的家庭,力求做一个顾家好男人的父亲,那些无名英雄,需要我们的承认,他们所付出的一切需要我们的感谢,因为他们值得我们的认同和感激 Passage A Ex.5 1. obligation 2. applauded 3. fulfilled 4. mirror 5. flexibility 6. devalue 7. striving 8. entailed 9. supposedly 10.

We have striven to the full to convince him, but we have made no headway. 男子汉宣言 作为男人,我们知道我们能够得到比较好的待遇。从女人身上,我们看到了现代性:广大的女性在探索新的角色,征服世界。我们暗中默默地羡慕她们不断取得成就的速度。我们对自己说:我们男人呢?我们难道不应该是这样的吗:聪明有头脑,信心十足,成功在握? 那么,是什么妨碍了我们呢?责备女人挑起两性战争是毫无意义的。毕竟,这个世界还是男人的天下。只要知道我们之所求,我们便可以通过规定得到它。否,问题在于我们缺乏想象力。如果问女人,作为女人她们想要什么,她们会告诉你:平等。而男人呢?我们没有一点线索。原因很简单,我们没有能够理解本世纪最伟大、最持久的社会运动的机遇,那就是两性劳动力分工的不复存在。 我们正在犯一个错误。过去并未让我们真正的需要得到满足,却强迫我们狭隘地认为自己是一个劳动者,而当我们被解雇、退休或生病的时候,这种身份也随之消失。过去还让我们从家里走出来,使我们成为孩子的陌生人。这意味着我们将我们身体的、情感的和实际的需求寄托在女人身上。她们喂养、抚育我们,顾及我们感情的需要,为我们斡旋出一个社会圈子。她们为我们做私人的工作,就像我们为她们做公众的工作一样。 尽管在家以外我们展现出了所有成年人的行为举止,而在家里我们却仍然十分孩子气。它使我们,尤其是那些年老的、行将就木的人,过着一种悲惨的、有局限的生活,通常使我们处于一种乖戾的关系中。 我们可以改变所有这一切,这不只是如意的想法。在妇女解放的背后,吹着一阵顺风:在几十年的时间里,妇女控制了她们的生育能力,而经济却需要劳动力的大量增加。甚至连保守的男人都不能阻止她们。 我们必须买出的第一步就是打破沉默。因此,有了这样一份宣言。
憧憬未来 当两性劳动力分工使男人的概念得到加强是, 我们将自己定义为三种角色:养家糊口的工人,女人的对立面,和做母亲不做之事情的父亲。每一种概念都限制了男人活动的范围,是男人感到窒息。因此,我们必须重新改写这些定义。 工作并非男人承诺的领地 当人们问及我是作什么的时候,我会说我是一个新闻工作者,而不会说我是一个男人,一个父亲,一个丈夫,一个儿子,一个兄弟,一个公民,甚至不会将所有这些结合在一起说,而知识说我是一个新闻记者。像许多男人一样,我就是我的工作。当工作顺利时,我也称心如意。其他一切都可能荡然无存。但是事业上的成功却是一个男人的支柱。它为男人提供地位、权利以及成为挣钱养家的父亲的一种手段。妇女运动知识进一步强调了工作的重要地位,而且暗示人们,专心于家务和抚养小孩是一件苦差事。 然而,指望工作从根本上维持我们的自我感觉是一个错误。许多自我的定义经得起时间的考验,但工作不在此列,因为它太不可靠了。我们知道总有一天我们回被解雇,会生病或会退休。对于那些年纪轻轻又找不到工作或者在年轻是就被解雇的人来说,工作上的失败会导致沮丧、犯罪、暴力,在有些情况下,甚至会导致自杀。如果男人找不到能夸耀自己的更好的方法肯定会发疯吗?我们必须意识到工作是靠不住的。
男人不是女人的对立面 当女人被看成是弱者时,我们必须是强者。我们做女人们不做的事情,但是现在女人几乎没有什么事情不做。她们从事体育运动,挣钱,参加足球比赛,驾驶英国皇家空军的战斗机,甚至主动开始床第之欢。然而,我们却坚持把自己看成是女人的对立面。这样的话,我们最终会把自己定义成只做很少几件女人不愿做的事,即强奸、谋杀和虐待。
父亲同样能够满足孩子的需要 我们仍然受传统的父亲形象的制约,即提供工资收入、规定纪律,在某些情况下,为小孩充当玩伴。在身体上和感情上与孩子亲近一直是女人的特权,而且在很大程度上还会继续如此。如今许多男人都渴望与他们的孩子更接近一些,他们是主动积极的父亲。我们乐意这样做,并且也有能力这样做。但是有些女人却拒绝平等相待我们。
平等始于家庭 在很多家庭里,男人是被动的,我们允许女人安排我们的个人生活,让她们充当佳丽的看门人,让她们决定那些友谊可以保持,决定夫妇与亲人应该保持多亲密的关系。我们当中有许多人发觉很难主动采取行动,或者在家里对女人说“不”,因为我们从来没有学会如何拒绝我们的母亲。
男人必须开始为自己而做 成功的男人必须担任领导的角色。通常他们都保持沉默,因为重新劳碌他们的角色,他们也得不到什么好处。他们的工作相对地比较可靠,地位和权力都高于女人,他们还能控制工作时间,可以离家去上班,可以花钱请人照看孩子。他们还可以拥有这一切。 因此,他们抱残守缺,封闭起自己的头脑,拒绝以更合适我们大家的方式改造这个世界。所以,男权运动通常是由这些人所控制,他们义愤填膺,口齿不清,缺乏用善于思维的构架去理解他们进退两难的尴尬局面。聪颖的、受过教育的男人能够成为引路人,我们迫切需要这样的人去开始思考。 Ex14. 1. equality 2. sustained 3. clue 4. expansiveness 5. was sacked 6. defined 7. sphere 8. sour 9. depressing 10. division Ex15. 1. in the way 2. falling apart 3. have ruled out 4. at this rate 5. took up Passage B Ex. 17 Translate the following sentences into English. 1.
