（完整word版）新标准大学英语四综合教程Unit1-6课文及翻译If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracked up to be. Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?2 Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I'm interested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60.3 I didn't really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropout and I knew I'd have to some day. According to any number of people "life's not a picnic", "there's no such thing as a free lunch". But given that I'd got a good degree, I thought I'd like to go on to get my master's. Actually, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Economics (LSE) . Top school, very good for my CV. But I talked to my mum about it, and she said she couldn't afford to support me any more. I kind of understand it, and not just because my degree is in economics. She'd worked hard for 15 years to give me an education. My dad wasn't around most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money. He'd spent it gambling on the dogs or down the pub. So it cameto the point when I just agreed with Mum, and bowed myself towards the inevitable.4 If you ask me, and despite everything you hear, fortunately there are some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for example. When I left university, what I thought was that my mum would feel obliged to look after me if I returned home. So I packed up my belongings and went to London to get a job. I wanted something in finance and investments, because you know, maybe with a job like that, I could use my degree. But by that time, there were no jobs left, and I didn't really want to end up in some boring office, doing photocopies and making the tea.5 Go anywhere you like in London and there's usually a good pub. The day I realized no one in the city was going to offer me a job, I went into The Salisbury on Leadenhall Street for a drink and something to eat. Mike the landlord was at the bar, pouring pints with one hand, making sandwiches with the other, and washing the glasses all at the same time—it's true, he really did seem to have three hands. He also seemed to know everyone, and greeted the regulars by name, getting their drinks ready with the question, "The usual today, is it?" I thought he looked kind of cool, he was doing what he did best, serving thirsty clients, and no one did it better. So I went up to him and asked him whether there was a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long story short, I started work in the pub one Friday lunch time. It was quite demanding work, but I liked it. People seemed to find me amusing and it made me feel better too. There was one middle-aged regular in a suit who always had a half of bitter and a ham and pickle sandwich, with the crusts cut off. When I saw Tony coming, I tried to have his lunch ready for him even before he asked. He was another one of those reallynice people.7 If you ask me, spending money when you don't have any is dead easy. I began to think about how I'd spend my first month's wages. The flat where I was staying was expensive, and I just about had enough to cover the first month's substantial bills. But I calculated that there'dbe just enough money over to treat myself to something. Why not get a CD or maybe a plant to cheer up the flat? I thought.8 It was my birthday on pay day. Apart from Mike and T ony,I didn't have any friends in London. Seeing that I didn't have a boyfriend either, you can understand why I began to feel sorry for myself. So I ordered myself some flowers, and asked them to be sent with a little card, saying "With all my love Anon." The highlight of my birthday would be the confused look on the florist's eyes when he delivered them.9 Later that week, Tony came in as usual and sat down at the bar. "What's wrong with you? Where's that smile gone today?" I talked to him about... well, about pretty well everything, money, the master's, my birthday, the lot. He sympathized with me.10 Tony got up from his stool, and went over to talk to some of the others. Remember: The Salisbury is right in the heart of the city, so all the customers were in banking or insurance or the stock market. Next day he turned up with cheques to the value of ￡20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your business. The only collateral you have is my trust in you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the finance business for you. But I think you will."11 I didn't say anything for fear that I was going to cry. What were the odds on anyone being so nice?12 And the flowers? I redirected them to my mum, and theyarrived for her on my birthday. She deserved them, don't you think?13 If you ask me, looking back after all these years, you only need one or two breaks in your life to succeed. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn't matter, it's still worth it.14 After a year working at The Salisbury, I got a place at the LSE, did my master's and found a job in an investment bank. I in vested the ￡20,000, and sold out before the 2008 crash.I paid back Tony and the other investors, with ten per cent annual interest, and set up my own firm. It exceeded all my expectations and is still a thriving business.15 Tony wrote me a thank-you note. He'd been in a car accident, and couldn't walk. The money I paid back would allow him to adapt his house so he could move around it in his wheelchair. This is what he wrote:16 "Thirty-five years in banking, and I've never made a better investment than the loan to you. You've repaid the money with interest, and my trust in you and your honesty 100-fold. If you ask me, investing in people gives the best return you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right. What do you think?依我看依我看，现实生活并没有人们想象的那么好。

新编实用英语综合教程1第四版课文翻译There is no perfect way for human beings to deal with cockroaches up to now. There is an instrument in Europe that can emit a specific frequency wave similar to that in a microwave oven, rapidly raise the blood temperature in the cockroach's body and instantly cause the cockroach to blow itself up. However, even if it is applied in such a wide range, it cannot completely eliminate the cockroach. Moreover, it can kill any organism containing water in the body and was banned several years ago. I do not recommend you to use any insecticide, which can only kill some cockroaches. It is an indisputable fact that cockroaches cannot be completely eliminated, but it can accelerate the evolution of cockroaches. The same insecticide may be used for one to two years, and cockroaches will be immunized against this insecticide by producing antibodies themselves. If you kill a limited number of cockroaches, the evolution of cockroaches will be accelerated permanently. Suggested methods are as follows: 1. Overcome your fear of cockroaches. 2. Use aggressive weapons to cause physical damage to cockroaches to death. (For example, newspapers, flyswatters.) 3. Clean the house and keep the house clean all over the world to minimize the living space of cockroaches. Finally, I give you advice: if you find a cockroach in the room, you think there are more than 200 cockroaches nearby. The number of cockroaches on theearth is far more than N times of the number of human beings. This is an endless war. ok, take your weapons and do them.人类对付蟑螂的方法到现在没有完善的. 在欧洲有种仪器,能发出类似微波炉中的特定频率波,迅速声高蟑螂身体内的血液温度,瞬间让蟑螂自爆,可即使这样大范围应用也不能彻底消灭蟑螂,而且,它可以杀掉任何身体中含水的生物,在几年前以遭禁用. 本人不推荐你使用任何杀虫剂,杀虫剂只能杀死一部分蟑螂,不能完全消灭蟑螂,这是不争的事实,但是他能加速蟑螂的进化,同一杀虫剂可能用一到两年后,蟑螂自身产生抗体,就对这种杀虫剂免疫了.你杀死了有限的蟑螂,可加速蟑螂的进化是永久的. 推荐你的方法如下: 1,克服自身对蟑螂的恐惧. 2,使用带攻击性武器对蟑螂造成物理伤害至死.(例如:报纸,苍蝇拍.) 3,清洁房屋卫生及房屋周遍卫生,尽量减少蟑螂的生存空间. 最后给你忠告: 如果你发现房间里有一只蟑螂,就以为着附近还有200只以上.蟑螂在地球上的数量远远超过人类的数量n倍.这是一场永无止境的战争,ok,拿去武器,去干他们吧。

综合教程四课文翻译Lesson 1: The History of TeaTea, one of the most popular beverages in the world, has a long and rich history that spans thousands of years. The exact origins of tea are uncertain, but it is believed to have been first discovered in ancient China.According to legend, the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung accidentally discovered tea around 2737 BC. While boiling water under a tree, a leaf from the tree fell into his pot and infused the water with a pleasant aroma. Intrigued, the emperor took a sip and found the resulting drink to be refreshing and invigorating. This marked the beginning of tea's journey to becoming a beloved beverage.In the early days, tea was consumed primarily for its medicinal properties. The Chinese gradually recognized the various health benefits of tea, such as its ability to aid digestion, improve concentration, and relieve fatigue. Tea was also valued for its calming effects, leading to its integration into religious rituals and practices.Tea drinking traditions and customs evolved over time, spreading from China to other parts of Asia. In the 9th century, Buddhist monks travelling to Japan introduced tea to the country as part of their religious rituals. The Japanese embraced tea wholeheartedly and developed their own intricate tea ceremonies, which became cultural cornerstones.During the 16th and 17th centuries, tea reached Europe via traderoutes with Asia. The British, in particular, developed a fondness for tea and established large-scale tea plantations in their colonies, such as India and Sri Lanka. This led to the popularization of tea-drinking in Europe and eventually the Americas.Today, tea is enjoyed by people from all walks of life and continues to be a beverage of choice worldwide. There are countless varieties of tea, ranging from black, green, white, and oolong to herbal and flavored infusions. Whether savored in a traditional ceremony or sipped casually in a modern teahouse, tea remains a beloved symbol of hospitality, culture, and relaxation.。

A Pyment Greater Than Money 比金钱更重要的东西1A Pyment Greater Than Money 比金钱更重要的东西When I was 14 , I earned money in the summer by mowing lawns , and I got to know people by the flowers I had to remember not to cut down , by the things stuck in the ground on purpose or by the things lost in the grass . I also learned something about my neighbors in Louisville , Ky. , by their preferred method of payment : by the job , the month -- or not at all .在十四岁的时候，我利用暑假时间给人割杂草挣点零花钱，通过这个机会，我接触了形形色色的人，有的人告诉我割草时不许伤害园子里的花，有的人故意给地里插些东西，有的人在园子的草地上丢了东西。

我还通过付款方式了解了我肯塔基州路易维尔的邻居们，他们有的按照工作量付钱，有的按月付，有的干脆不给钱。

2Mr Ballou fell into the last category , and he always had a reason.One day he had nothing smaller than a fifty . On another he was flat-out of checks ; on another he was simply not home when I knocked on his door . Still , except for the money , he was a nice enough old guy , always waving or tipping his hat when he'd seen me from a distance . I figured him for a thin retirement check , maybe an injury that kept him doing his own yardwork . I kept a running total , but didn't worry about the amount too much . Grass was grass , and the little that was Mr Ballou's didn't take long to trim.巴卢先生属于最后一种人，而且他总是有不付钱的借口。

Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱，衣着肮脏，口袋里只有35美分。

在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。

他想如果他躲在洗手间里，便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。

但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。

她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说：“洗手间里有个流浪汉。

告诉公共汽车司机。

”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人，说道：“告诉公共汽车司机，洗手间里有个流浪汉。

这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。

但在这一过程的某个环节，口信变了。

当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时，已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”，而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。

司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。

当警察到达时，他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。

然后他们关闭了那条公路。

那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。

警察在警犬的帮助下，在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。

当然，他们没有发现什么炸弹。

两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。

他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。

他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班，所以他走向登机门，出示了机票并登上了飞机。

起飞20分钟后，这人开始担心起来。

奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边，但是飞机似乎正在向西飞，而当他向窗外望去时，他所能看到的全是大海。

“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。

航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气，“不，”她说。

“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。

”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似，讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。

并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。

大多数误会远没有这么严重。

每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说，特别容易让人混淆。

一天早晨，一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时，她的老板问她：“你拿到盘子了吗?”“没有……”她回答说，心里却在纳闷，不知道他到底是什么意思。

她在办公室工作。

老板为什么问她盘子的事呢？一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷，但又不好意思开口问他。

Unit4-Unit6课文段落翻译1.第一册P88 Unit4 Passage1 第二段If you come from a culture that has a more relaxed view of time, you're likely to be surprised at how serious Americans are about time. While not all Americans are punctual all the time, the society as a whole operates on the basis of well-kept schedules. This is true in personal and community life as well as in U.S. business culture.如果你来自一个对时间有更宽松看法的文化，你很可能会惊讶于美国人对时间的严肃态度。

虽然不是所有的美国人都是守时的，但整个社会的运作都是在严格遵守时间表的基础上进行的。

这在个人和社区生活以及美国商业文化中都是如此。

2.第一册P88 Unit4 Passage1 第四段If the team had been American, it's likely they would have been annoyed, and unlikely they would have waited more than 10 minutes — at the most. They would have left me a message asking to reschedule the meeting. Why? Because American-style appointments have a firm end as well as start time, and if you start late you won't be able to finish the business at hand without running beyond the scheduled ending time.如果这个团队是美国人，他们很可能会很恼火，也不太可能等待超过10分钟——最多10分钟。

Unit one 绿化，永无止境【1】环保主义思想已经深深的扎根于校园。

你可以看到环保运动已经蔓延到了全国，从加利福利亚大学戴维斯分校的“零浪费”运动场到纽约州瓦瑟学院07级学生献给学校的价值10000美元的太阳能电池板。

环保意识已经深入到同学们的内心，他们通过开展一些竞赛活动来推进回收再利用，并且大幅减少学生宿舍能源的使用。

学校里还开设了一些与环境相关的课程与专业，甚至还设立了一些奖学金。

这些新的举措是很有意义的。

高等教育明确定位，不仅是要为社会培养有环保意识的公民，还要培养环保工程师，环保建筑师和环保政策的制定者。

康奈尔大学的校长David Skorton说得好：“可持续发展势在必行。

”【2】想要寻找环保运动已经广泛开展的证据，只要关注全国各大学都热衷参与RecycleMania 竞赛就能找到答案。

2008年的冠军不是像哈佛和斯坦福大学这些以环保著称的著名学府，而是在密歇根州的一所微不足道的大学——卡拉马祖大学。

在十周的比赛中，卡拉马祖大学的同学们总共回收利用了59%的废物。

（哈佛是27%，斯坦福是30%）。

环保社团的成员们还开展了名为“宿舍风暴”的活动。

他们在每个寝室都埋伏了同学来专门观察和宣传那些减少浪费的行为。

他们还收集校内垃圾桶内的可回收材料——甚至运送塑料泡沫和废旧电脑到公司以便加工后再利用。

他们把废弃的书拆开来使得纸张可以再利用。

一些旧的椅子、杯子、扬声器和钢琴都在校园的二手货交易中重获新生，满屋子都是一些二手货，当然还是免费的。

【3】环保建筑也如春笋般突然出现在校园中，从杜克大学里带有环保屋顶的“智慧屋” （一间同时可作为绿色生活实验室的宿舍）到加州大学在默赛德新校区，那里的所有建筑都达到了美国绿色建筑委员会制定的标准。

缅因州的福尔曼大学也实施了一项最不寻常的计划。

在2008年6月，福尔曼大学与南方生活杂志协力创建了名为“绝壁村屋”的太阳能展示区。

它占地3400平方英尺，在将来也许会成为环保主义者的梦想住宅。
