Swimming through fear游越恐惧I was on a tour of France with my friends when our car pulled to a stop at the beach and we saw the Mediterranean Sea. Massive waves surged against large rocks that formed a waterproof jetty. People said this beach was known for its notorious rip currents. I shivered with fear. Nothing scared me as much as water.当时我和朋友正在法国旅行，我们把汽车停在海滩，眼前就是地中海。

巨浪翻滚击打着构筑起防波堤的偌大岩石。

人们说这里的海滩以其可怕的裂流而著称。

恐惧让我不寒而栗。

没有什么比水让我更害怕了。

Just the sight of the sea made me sick to my stomach.只是看到了海就已经让我觉得反胃。

I'd always loved water and been a good swimmer until last summer, when I'd decided to climb up to the highest diving board at the pool. I'd hopped from that height and hit the water with an incredible impact. The air was ousted from my lungs and I blacked out. The next thing I knew, my brother was pulling my feeble body out of the pool. From then on, my fear wouldn't recede; I was absolutely terrified of water.我曾经一直都是喜欢水的，并且直到去年夏天我都还是一名游泳好手。

新视野大学英语读写教程第二版第三册课文翻译（最新完整版）Unit 1 Section A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。

事实上，关照像吉米这样一个深爱又感激我的人，更加丰富了我的生活，其他任何东西都不能与之相比。

新视野三版读写B2 U8 Text AAnimals or children? — A scientist's choice1 I am the enemy! I am one of those cursed, cruel physician scientists involved in animal research. These rumors sting, for I have never thought of myself as an evil person. I became a children's doctor because of my love for children and my supreme desire to keep them healthy. During medical schooland residency, I saw many children die of cancer and bloodshed from injury —circumstances against which medicine has made great progress but stil has a long way to go. More importantly, I also saw children healthy thanks to advances in medical science such as infant breathing support, powerful new medicines and surgical techniques and the entire fieldof organ transplantation. My desire to tip the scales in favor of healthy, happy children drew me to medical research.*2M y accusers have twisted the truth into a fable and cast me asthe devil. They claim that I have no moral compass, that I torture innocent animals for the sole purpose of career advancement, and that my experiments have no relevance to medicine.Meanwhile, an uncaring public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance,and publicity-conscious senators and politicians increasingly give way tothe lobbying of animal rights activists.3 We, in medical research, have also been unbelievably uncaring. We haveal owed the most extreme animal rights protesters to creep in and frame the issue as one of "animal fraud" and hatred. We have persisted in our belief that a knowledgeable public would consent to the importance of animal research for public health. Perhaps we have been mistaken in not responding to the emotional tone of the argument. Perhaps we should have responded to those sad slogans and posters of animals by waving equal y sad posters of children dying of cancer or external wounds.4 In the animal rights forum, much is made of the volume of pain these animals experience in the name of medical science.Activists deny that we are trying to help and say it is evidence of our evil and cruel nature. A more reasonable argument, however, can be advanced in our defense. Life is often cruel to animals and human beings. Teenagers are flung from trucks and suffer severe head injuries. Young children barely able to walk find themselves at the bottom of swimming pools while a parent is occupied with something else. Fromeveryday germs to gang violence, no life is free of pain. Physicians hoping to relieve the eternal suffering of these tragedies have only three choices: 1) create an animal model of the problem to understand the process and test new therapies; 2) experiment on human beings (some experiments wil succeed, most wil fail); or 3) leave medical knowledge static, hoping that accidental discoveries wil lead us forward.5 Some animal rights activists would suggest an optional fourth choice,*******claiming that computer models can create a nimal experiments,thus omitting actual experiments. Computers can imitate the effects ofwel -understood principles on complex systems, as in the application of the laws of physics to airplane and automobile design. However, when the principles themselves are in question, as is the case with the complex biological systems of human life under study, computer modeling alone is of little value.6 One of the terrifying effects of arresting the use of animals in medical research is that the impact wil not be felt for years or even decades. Drugs to cure infection wil remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostic techniques wil remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes that might have been understood wil remain mysteries. There is the danger that quick decisions by wel -meaning politicians wil create resolution to diplomatical y satisfy the smal minority of loud protesters while the consequences and damaging impact of those decisions wil not be apparent until long after.7 Fortunately, most of us enjoy good health, and the agony of watching one's child die has become a rare experience. Yet our good fortune should not make us unappreciative. Protection from serious sickness and drugs to combat heart *disease, high blood pressure and stroke are al based on animal research. Most complex surgical procedures such as heart or hip surgery and organ transplantation surgeries were initial y developed in animals. Techniques to replace defective genes, the cause of so much disease, as wel as the development of synthetic organs are presently undergoing animal studies. These studies, and any subsequent advances, wil effectively end if animal research is severely restricted.8 In America today, death has become an event isolated from our daily existence. As a doctor who has watched many children die and seen their parents' infinite grief, I am particularly angered by any minute expression of caring for the suffering of creatures and so little for sick and dying humanbeings. People are too protected from the reality of human life and death andwhat it means.9 Make no mistake, however. I would never advocate needless cruel treatmentof animals. The animal rights movement has made a contribution in making us more aware of animals' needs and the need to search harder for suitable alternatives. But if the more radical members of this movement are successfulin threatening further research, their efforts wil bring about a tragedy that wilcost many lives. Hence the real question is whether an uncaring majority canbe aroused to protect its future against a loud, but misdirected, minority. Language Points：1 Animals or children? — A scientist’s choice (Title)Meaning: A scientist is now facing two choices: in favor of animals or children.2 I am the enemy! I am one of those cursed, cruel physician scientists involved inanimal research. These rumors sting, for I have never thought of myself as an evilperson. (Para. 1)Meaning: I am the enemy–the one who is condemned as a cold-hearted physician scientist doing animal research. These rumors make me upset as I've never consideredmyself as being evil.Meaning beyond words: The physician’s ironic tone in the sentences well reflects hisindignation and anger at the animal rights activists.3 I became a children’s doctor because of my love for children and my supremedesire to keep them healthy. (Para. 1)Meaning: My love for children and strong desire to keep them healthy drove me to be achildren’s doctor.Usage note: supreme, superior, super, superb*supreme, superior, super, superb都是形容词，且词形相近。

Unit 1An impressive English lesson1If I am the only parent who still corrects his child's English, then perhaps my son is right.To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.2I 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.3She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words, and then exclaimed, "It was, like,whoa!"4And that was it.The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture were captured in a condensed non-statement.My student's "whoa!" was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.5There are many different stories about the downturn in the proper use of English.Surely students should be able to distinguish between their/there/they're or the distinctive difference between complimentary and complementary.They unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these knowledge deficits because there is a sense that they should know better.6Students are not dumb, but they are being misled everywhere they look and listen.For example, signs in grocery stores point them to the stationary, even though the actual stationery items —pads,albums and notebooks — are not nailed down.Friends and loved ones often proclaim they've just ate when, in fact, they've just eaten.Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to criticize our students.7Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be thrust upon our schools, which should be setting high standards of English language proficiency.Instead, they only teach a little grammar and even less advanced vocabulary.Moreover, the younger teachers themselves evidently have little knowledge of these vital structures of language because they also went without exposure to them. Schools fail to adequately teach the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary, while they should take the responsibility of pushing the young onto the path of competent communication.8Since grammar is boring to most of the young students, I think that it must be handled delicately, step by step.The chance came when one day I was driving with my son.As we set out on our trip, he noticed a bird in jerky flight and said, "It's flying so unsteady."I carefully asked, "My son, how is the bird flying?""What's wrong? Did I say anything incorrectly?"He got lost."Great! You said incorrectly instead of incorrect. We use adverbs to describe verbs. Therefore, it's flying so unsteadily but not so unsteady."9Curious about my correction, he asked me what an adverb was.Slowly, I said, "It's a word that tells you something about a verb."It led to his asking me what a verb was.I explained, "Verbs are action words; for example, Dad drives the truck.Drive is the verb because it's the thing Dad is doing."10 He became attracted to the idea of action words, so we listed a few more:fly, swim, dive, run.Then, out of his own curiosity, he asked me if other words had names for their use and functions.This led to a discussion of nouns, adjectives, and articles.Within the span of a 10-minute drive, he had learned from scratch to the major parts of speech in a sentence.It was painless learning and great fun!11Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a road map and a valuable possession: often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary).Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a well-conditioned car.12The road map provides the framework and guidance you need for your trip, but it won't tell you exactly what trees or flowers you will see, what kind of people you will encounter, or what types of feelings you will be experiencing on your journey.Here, the vocabulary makes the journey's true colors come alive!A good vocabularyenables you to enjoy whatever you see as you drive along.Equipped with grammar and a good vocabulary, you have flexibility and excellent control.While the road map guides your journey to your destination, an excellent vehicle helps you to fully enjoy all of the sights, sounds and experiences along the way.13Effective,precise, and beneficial communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary, the two essential assets for students, but they are not being taught in schools.14Just this morning, my son and I were eating breakfast when I attempted to add milk to my tea."Dad," he said, "If I were you, I wouldn't do that. It's sour."15"Oh my!"I said, swelling with pride toward my son, "That's a grammatically perfect sentence. You used were instead of was."16"I know, I know," he said with a long agreeable sigh. "It's the subjunctive mood."17I was, like, whoa!Translation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。

读写教程2 Unit1-8单元翻译Unit1一、英译汉English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.译文：人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。
