九年级上英语课文翻译第一课One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it.古希腊的一天,海尔罗国王请一位制作皇冠的人给他制作一顶金皇冠.起初,他对皇冠感到非常高兴.“It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” hewondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.“这是一个很漂亮的皇冠,不是吗?”他问仆人.然而后来他开始怀疑皇冠是否是一顶真的金皇冠.“这真是纯金的吗?”他纳闷着.他把皇冠送到了阿基米德那里,叫他搞清楚真相.“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. “这个问题似乎很难解决.我该怎么办?”阿基米德想.Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.当阿基米德往浴池里倒水的时候他仍然思考着这个难题.当他进入浴池时,一些水溢了出来.“That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solvethe king’s problem!” “就是如此”阿基米德喊道,“我知道如何解决国外的难题了!”Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. 阿基米德直接去到了宫殿觐见国王.首先,他称了皇冠,然后像国王要了同等重量的金子. Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into onepot and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.接着,他放了两个罐子到两个大碗里,然后把罐子注满了水.他把金子放入其中一个罐,一些水跑到了碗里.然后他把皇冠放入另一个罐.这一次,更多的水跑到了碗里.“Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crowndisplaced more water than gold of the sa me weight, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “快看”阿基米德对国王说道.“一个完全由金子制作的皇冠比一个由金子和其他金属制作的皇冠要取代更少的水.这顶皇冠比同等质量的金子取代更多的水,所以我确定这不是纯金的.“The crown maker tricked me , didn’t he? What a bad man he is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.“金匠骗了我,对不对?这个大坏人!”海尔罗国王喊道.然后他把金匠投入了监狱.第二课许多人将爱因斯坦视为天才.他的学说推动了核能领域的发展.爱因斯坦说他的才能就是拥有一颗好奇心,但他也很有幽默细胞.在他年轻的时候,爱因斯坦收到过许多到大学去宣讲学说的邀请.虽然去的是不同的大学(本句如果按照字面上翻实在难受,字面上说的是:在每次旅行中,他的司机总是一个人-)但是他的司机总是一个人-----一个叫Hans的人.Hans总是说:“爱因斯坦博士,为像您一样的天才驾车实在是我的荣幸.”一天晚上,在他们去一所大学的路上,爱因斯坦说:“我真希望我今晚不必却讲座,Hans.我太累了.但是我不能让我的听众们感到失望,对不对?”“您不必亲自去讲,”Hans说,“我可以替您去讲.我已经听您讲过好多遍了,烂熟于心.没人会发现的.”爱因斯坦同意了,并与Hans交换了“角色”.爱因斯坦对Hans 说,“不要试着去回答我的问题,好不好?”Hans点头同意了.到达大学以后,Hans被带上了被许多教授和学生包围着的讲台.爱因斯坦则坐在听众席,听着Hans完美地完成了他的讲座,并在结束时与观众一同鼓掌.但是,在Hans离开讲台前,一位教授在观众席上大喊,“我想问你一个困难的问题.”然后他问了一个难到Hans都听不懂的问题.爱因斯坦想,“哦,不!我们有麻烦了.”但是Hans笑着说,“这并不是一个困难的问题.实际上,这简单到连我的司机都可以回答.Hans,请.”爱因斯坦站起来并完美的回答了问题.爱因斯坦驾车载着他们他们离开了大学.过了一会,Hans说他要驾车.“不,我的朋友,”爱因斯坦大笑着说,“为像您一样的天才驾车是我的荣幸,Hans.”第三课Family life in citiesPaula interviewed two teenagers for a programme on family life.

Unit 1Text A Never, ever give up!永不言弃!1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。
当时他可不是个好学生,要不是出身名门,他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。
谢天谢地,他总算从哈罗毕业了,在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。

He just gazed at the trainers.他只是盯着那双球鞋。
They looked really good, and they looked brand new.它们看起来真的很棒,而且看起来还很新。
At last he managed to speak, but only a single word.最后他总算说话了,但只说了一个字。
Look.看。
005Anna followed his pointing finger.安娜顺着他手指的方向看去。
A pair of trainers… so?一双跑鞋……然后呢?Not just any pair.这可不是普通的跑鞋。
They're perfect.它们很完美。
He edged closer.他小心地走上前去。

Anna was his best friend, but Jake didn't expect her to understand.安娜是他最好的朋友,但是杰克不期望她会明白。
She knew that he liked running and she even helped by timing him when he ran around the park.安娜知道他喜欢跑步,他在公园里跑步的时候她甚至还帮他计过时。

'It's the Area Cross-Country Championships in two weeks,' he said.“两个星期后就要举行地区越野锦标赛了,”他说。

The problem was that he knew it and he never let anyone else forget it either.问题是他自己知道了这个事实,而且还要让别人也记住这个事实。
Ever since Jake had joined the cross-country team, Kevin had been picking on him.自从杰克加入了越野队之后,凯文就一直在挑他的刺。
'They won't help, you know' sneered Beadle.“你要知道,它们是没用的,”比德尔不屑一顾地嗤了一声。

I'd like to wipe that smirk off his face,thought Jake.“真想把那种尖笑从他脸上抹去,”杰克想。
But he knew he had no chance of beating Beadle.但是他知道他没有机会打败比德尔。
He would be happy if he just did okay in the race - he didn't want to let himself down.只要他在比赛中能正常发挥他就已经很开心了——他不想让自己失望。
