新视野大学英语第三版第二册读写课文翻译Unit 1 Text A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery(文具用品)并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。
实际上,他们应该说They've just eaten。
因此,批评学生不合乎情理。
7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味,所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。
新视野三版读写B2 U6 Text ADoor closer, are you?1 The next time you're deciding between rival options, one which is primary and the other which is secondary, ask yourself this question: What would Xiang Yu do?2 Xiang Yu was a Chinese imperial general in the third century BC who took his troops across the Zhang River on a raid into enemy territory. To his troops' astonishment, he ordered their cooking pots crushed and their sailing ships burned.3 He explained that he was imposing on them a necessity for attaining victory over their opponents. What he said was surely motivating, but it wasn't really appreciated by many of his loyal soldiers as they watched their vessels go up in flames. But the genius of General Xiang Yu's conviction would be validated both on the battlefield and in modern social science research. General Xiang Yu was a rare exception to the norm, a veteran leader who was highly respected for his many conquests and who achieved the summit of success.4 He is featured in Dan Ariely's enlightening new publication, Predictably Irrational, a fascinating investigation of seemingly irrational human behavior, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open. Most people can't marshal the will for painful choices, not even students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where Dr. Ariely teaches behavioral economics. In an experiment that investigated decision-making, hundreds of students couldn't bear to let their options vanish, even though it was clear they would profit from doing so.5 The experiment revolved around a game that eliminated the excuses we usually have for refusing to let go. In the real world, we can always say, "It's good to preserve our options." Want a good example? A teenager is exhausted from soccer, ballet, piano, and Chinese lessons, but her parents won't stop any one of them because they might come in handy some day!6 In the experiment sessions, students played a computer game that provided cash behind three doors appearing on the screen.The rule was the more money you earned, the better player you were, given a total of 100 clicks. Every time the students opened a door by clicking on it, they would useup one click but wouldn't get any money. However, each subsequent click on that door would earn a fluctuating sum of money, with one door always revealing more money than the others. The important part of the rule was each door switch, though having no cash value, would also use up one of the 100 clicks. Therefore, the winning strategy was to quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the seemingly highest rewards.7 While playing the game, students noticed a modified visual element: Any door left un-clicked for a short while would shrink in size and vanish. Since they already understood the game, they should have ignored the vanishing doors. Nevertheless, they hurried to click on the lesser doors before they vanished, trying to keep them open. As a result, they wasted so many clicks rushing back to the vanishing doors that they lost money in the end. Why were the students so attached to the lesser doors? They would probably protest that they were clinging to the doors to keep future options open, but, according to Dr. Ariely, that isn't the true factor.8 Instead of the excuse to maintain future options open, underneath it all the students' desire was to avoid the immediate, though temporary, pain of watching options close. "Closing a door on an option is experienced as a loss, and people are willing to pay a big price to avoid the emotion of loss," Dr. Ariely says. In the experiment, the price was easily measured in lost cash. In life, the corresponding costs are often less obvious such as wasted time or missed opportunities.9 "Sometimes these doors are closing too slowly for us to see them vanishing," Dr. Ariely writes. "We may work more hours at our jobs without realizing that the childhood of our sons and daughters is slipping away."10 So, what can be done to restore balance in our lives? One answer, Dr. Ariely says, is to implement more prohibitions on overbooking. We can work to reduce options on our own, delegating tasks to others and even giving away ideas for others to pursue. He points to marriage as an example, "In marriage, we create a situation where we promise ourselves not to keep options open. We close doors and announce to others we've closed doors."11 Since conducting the door experiment, Dr. Ariely says he has made a conscious effort to lessen his load. He urges the rest of us to resign from committees, prune holiday card lists, rethink hobbies and remember the lessons of door closers like Xiang Yu.12 In other words, Dr. Ariely is encouraging us to discard those things that seem to have outward merit in favor of those things that actually enrich ourlives. We are naturally prejudiced to believe that more is better, but Dr. Ariely's research provides a dose of reality that strongly suggests otherwise.13 What price do we pay for trying to have more and more in life? What pleasure and satisfaction can be derived from focusing our energy and attention in a more concentrated fashion? Surely, we will have our respective answers.14 Consider these important questions: Will we have more by always increasing options or will we have more with fewer, carefully chosen options? What doors should we close in order to allow the right windows of opportunity and happiness to open?Language Points:1 The next time you’re deciding between rival options, one which is primary and the other which is secondary, ask yourself this question: What would Xiang Yu do? (Para. 1) Meaning: The next time when you are to make a choice between two competing options, youhave to distinguish which is the primary one and which is the minor one. To be enlightened, you can ask yourself what option Xiang Yu would choose.Meaning beyond words: It suggests that Xiang Yu was a wonderful decision-maker. Note: The phrase rival options means that both options seem like good choices, but one choice is somewhat better than the other. In this case, it is the one that Xiang Yu chose to implement.2 Xiang Yu was a Chinese imperial general in the third century BC who took his troops across the Zhang River on a raid into enemy territory. (Para. 2)Meaning: Xiang Yu was an ancient Chinese general in the third century BC. He led his troops across the Zhang River to attack the enemy in its territory.3 To his troops’ astonishment, he ordered their cooking pots crushed and their sailingships burned. (Para. 2)Meaning beyond words: To make sure his troops would win the battle quickly, Xiang Yu ordered the soldiers to crush their cooking pots and burn their sailing boats after he led his troops across the Zhang River to attack the enemy. This way, he closed the door for retreat ing from the enemy’s territory and sent out a clear message to his men that they only had two choices: to win the battle or die in the battle. However, his decision was obviously against normal practice, which greatly shocked his troops.4 He explained that he was imposing on them a necessity for attaining victory over their opponents. (Para. 3)Meaning beyond words: By having their cooking pots crushed and their sailing ships burned, Xiang Yu put his troops in such a desperate condition that they wouldn’t have any hope to escape but fight to survive and eventually win the battle. In other words, Xiang Yu gave his troops only one option. Usage note: rival, opponentrival 和 opponent 都可以用作名词,都可以表示“ 对手”,但两者有区别。

新视野大学英语 3U1Love without limitationsMy brother, Jimmy, did not get enough oxygen during a difficult delivery,leaving him with brain damage, and two years later I was born. Since then, mylife revolved around my brother’s. Accompanying my growing up was always“go o ut and play and take your brother with you”. I couldn’t go anywherewithout him, so I urged the neighborhood kids to come to my house for someout-of-control kid-centered fun.My mother taught Jimmy practical things like how to brush his teeth or put onbelt. My father, a saint, simply held the house together with his patience andunderstanding. I was in charge outside where I administered justice by trackingdown the parents of the kids who picked on my brother, and telling on them.My father and Jimmy were inseparable. They ate breakfast together and onweekdays drove off to the navy shipping center every morning where they bothworked-Jimmy unloaded color-coded boxes. At night after dinner, they wouldtalk and play games late into the evening. They even whistled the same tunes.So when my father died of a heart attack in 1991, Jimmy was a wreck,beneath his careful disguise. He was simply in disbelief. Usually very agreeable,he now quit speaking altogether and no amount of words could penetrate thevacant expression he wore on his face. I hired someone to live with him anddrive him to work, but no matter how much I tried to make things stay the same,even Jimmy grasped that the world he’d k nown was gone. One day Iasked, ”You miss Dad, don’t you?” His lips quivered and then he asked, “What do you think, Margaret? He was my best friend.” Our tears began flow.My mother died of lung cancer six months later and I alone was left to lookafter Jimmy.He didn’t adjust to going to work wi thout my father right away, so he cameand lived with me in New York City for a while. He went wherever I went andseemed to adjust pretty well. Still, Jimmy longed to live in my parents’ house and work at his old job and I pledged to help him return. Eventually, I was ableto work it out. He has lived there for 11 years now with many differentcaretakers and blossomed on his own. He has become essential to theneighborhood. When you have any mail to be picked up or your dog needswalking, he is your man.My mother was right, of course: It was possible to have a home with room forboth his limitations and my ambitions. In fact, caring for someone who loves asdeeply and appreciates my efforts as much as Jimmy does has enriched my lifemore than anything else ever could have.This hit home a few days after the September 11th disaster on Jimmy’s 57th birthday. I had a party for him in my home in New York, but none of our familycould join us because travel was difficult and they were still reckoning with thesheer terror the disaster had brought. I called on my faithful friends to helpmake it a merry and festive occasion, ignoring the fact that most of them wereemotionally drained and exhausted. Instead of the customary “No gifts, please”I shouted, “Gifts! Please!”My friends-people Jimmy had come to know over the years-brought the ideal-I-M-M-Y” onpresents: country music CDs, a sweatshirt, one leather belt with “Jit, a knitted wool hat and a cowboy costume. The evening led up to the gifts andthen the chocolate cake from his favorite bakery, and of course the ceremonywasn’t complete without the singing.A thousand times Jimmy asked, ”Is it time for the cake yet?” After dinner andthe gifts Jimmy could no longer be restrained. He anxiously waited for thecandles to be lit and then blew them out with one long breath as well all sang“Happy birthday”. Jimmy wasn’t satisfied with our effort, though. He jumped upon the chair and stood erect pointing both index fingers into the air to conductus and yell ed, ”One…more…time!” We sang with all of the energy left in oursouls and when we were finished he put both his thumbs up and shouted.“ That was super!”We had wanted to let him know that no matter how difficult things got in theworld, there would always be people who cared about him. We ended upreminding ourselves instead. For Jimmy, the love with which we sang was awelcome bonus, but mostly he had just wanted to see everyone else happyagain.ernight, September Just as my father’s death had changed Jimmy’s world ov11th changed our lives; the world we’d known was gone. But, as we sang forJimmy and held each tight afterward praying for peace around the world, wewere reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and familywould get us through whatever life might present. The simplicity with whichJimmy had reconciled everything for us should not have been surprising. Therehad never been limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.无限的爱我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产,因为缺氧导致大脑受损。

两年后,我出生了。
从此以后,我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。
伴随我成长的,是“到外面去玩,把你哥哥也带上。
”不带上他,我是哪里也去不了的。
因此,我怂恿邻居的孩子到我家来,尽情地玩孩子们玩的游戏。
我母亲教吉米学习日常自理,比如刷牙或系皮带什么的。
我父亲宅心仁厚,他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。
我则负责外面的事,找到那些欺负我哥哥的孩子们的父母,告他们的状,为我哥哥讨回公道。
父亲和吉米形影不离。
他们一道吃早饭,平时每天早上一道开车去海军航运中心,他们都在那里工作,吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。
晚饭后,他们一道交谈,玩游戏,直到深夜。
他们甚至用口哨吹相同的曲调。
所以,父亲1991年因心脏病去世时,吉米几乎崩溃了,尽管他尽量不表现出来。
他就是不能相信父亲去世这一事实。
通常,他是一个令人愉快的人,现在却一言不发,无论说多少话都不能透过他木然的脸部表情了解他的心事。
我雇了一个人和他住在一起,开车送他去上班。
然而,不管我怎么努力地维持原状,吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。
有一天,我问他:“你是不是想念爸爸?”他的嘴唇颤抖了几下,然后问我:“你怎么看,玛格丽特?他是我最好的朋友。
”接着,我俩都流下了眼泪六个月后,母亲因肺癌去世,剩下我一人来照顾吉米。
吉米不能马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着,因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。
我走到哪里他就跟到哪里,他好像适应得很好。
但吉米依然想住在我父母的房子里,继续干他原来的工作。
我答应把他送回去。
此事最后做成了。
如今,他在那里生活了11年,在许多人的照料下,同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。
他已成了邻里间不可或缺的人物。
如果你有邮件要收,或有狗要遛,他就是你所要的人。
当然,母亲的话没错:可以有一个家,既能容纳他的缺陷又能装下我的雄心。

2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest anticipation.我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture were captured ina condensed non-statement. My student's "whoa!" was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.没了。

新视野大学英语3U1Love without limitationsMy brother, Jimmy, did not get enough oxygen during a difficult delivery, leaving him with brain damage, and two years later I was born. Since then, my life revolved around my brother’s. Accompanying my growing up was always “go out and play and take your brother with you”. I couldn’t go anywhere without him, so I urged the neighborhood kids to come to my house for some out-of-control kid-centered fun.My mother taught Jimmy practical things like how to brush his teeth or put on belt. My father, a saint, simply held the house together with his patience and understanding. I was in charge outside where I administered justice by tracking down the parents of the kids who picked on my brother, and telling on them. My father and Jimmy were inseparable. They ate breakfast together and on weekdays drove off to the navy shipping center every morning where they both worked-Jimmy unloaded color-coded boxes. At night after dinner, they would talk and play games late into the evening. They even whistled the same tunes. So when my father died of a heart attack in 1991, Jimmy was a wreck, beneath his careful disguise. He was simply in disbelief. Usually very agreeable, he now quit speaking altogether and no amount of words could penetrate the vacant expression he wore on his face. I hired someone to live with him and drive him to work, but no matter how much I tried to make things stay the same, even Jimmy grasped that the world he’d known was gone. One day I asked, ”You miss Dad, don’t you?” His lips quivered and then he asked, “What do you think, Margaret? He was my best friend.” Our tears began flow.My mother died of lung cancer six months later and I alone was left to look after Jimmy.He didn’t adjust to going to work wi thout my father right away, so he came and lived with me in New York City for a while. He went wherever I went and seemed to adjust pretty well. Still, Jimmy longed to live in my parents’ house and work at his old job and I pledged to help him return. Eventually, I was able to work it out. He has lived there for 11 years now with many different caretakers and blossomed on his own. He has become essential to the neighborhood. When you have any mail to be picked up or your dog needs walking, he is your man.My mother was right, of course: It was possible to have a home with room for both his limitations and my ambitions. In fact, caring for someone who loves as deeply and appreciates my efforts as much as Jimmy does has enriched my life more than anything else ever could have.This hit home a few days after the September 11th disaster on Jimmy’s 57th birthday. I had a party for him in my home in New York, but none of our familycould join us because travel was difficult and they were still reckoning with the sheer terror the disaster had brought. I called on my faithful friends to help make it a merry and festive occasion, ignoring the fact that most of them were emotionally drained and exhausted. Instead of the customary “No gifts, please”, I shouted, “Gifts! Please!”My friends-people Jimmy had come to know over the years-brought the ideal presents: country music CDs, a sweatshirt, one leather belt with “J-I-M-M-Y” on it, a knitted wool hat and a cowboy costume. The evening led up to the gifts and then the chocolate cake from his favorite bakery, and of course the ceremony wasn’t complete without the singing.A thousand times Jimmy asked, ”Is it time for the cake yet?” After dinner and the gifts Jimmy could no longer be restrained. He anxiously waited for the candles to be lit and then blew them out with one long breath as well all sang “Happy birthday”. Jimmy wasn’t satisfied with our effort, though. He jumped up on the chair and stood erect pointing both index fingers into the air to conduct us and yell ed, ”One…more…time!” We sang with all of the energy left in our souls and when we were finished he put both his thumbs up and shouted. “ That was super!”We had wanted to let him know that no matter how difficult things got in the world, there would always be people who cared about him. We ended up reminding ourselves instead. For Jimmy, the love with which we sang was a welcome bonus, but mostly he had just wanted to see everyone else happy again.Just as my father’s death had changed Jimmy’s world ov ernight, September 11th changed our lives; the world we’d known was gone. But, as we sang for Jimmy and held each tight afterward praying for peace around the world, we were reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and family would get us through whatever life might present. The simplicity with which Jimmy had reconciled everything for us should not have been surprising. There had never been limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.无限的爱我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产,因为缺氧导致大脑受损。
