新编大学英语5(浙大)Unit4翻译

朋友、好朋友、知心朋友 1 我过去曾想这样说：女人一旦成了朋友，她们就会喜欢、支持和信任对方；向对方袒露自己心中的秘密; 二话不说就赶去帮忙；只要是非说不可的事，就坦诚相告、直言不讳（例如，不行，你不能穿那件衣服，除非你减去十磅）。 2 我过去曾想这样说：一旦女人都喜欢英格玛·伯格曼，喜欢乘火车、喜欢猫、喜欢天暖和时下雨，而且都非常讨厌纽瓦克、讨厌球芽甘蓝、讨厌宿营，她们就是朋友。 3 换句话说，我过去曾想说朋友就是朋友，始终如一、亲密无间，但是现在我认为这是一种狭隘的观点。因为我自己经历的和看到的友谊就表现出不同的亲密程度，起着不同的作用，满足不同的需要，从前面提到的亲如姐妹、毫无保留的友谊到最随意的玩伴关系。 4 来看看这些不同层次的友谊： 5 近便之交要不是我们的生活道路总是相互交叉，我们没有特别的理由和这些女人成为朋友：隔壁邻居、合伙使用汽车的伙伴、孩子好朋友的妈妈或者每周和我们一起在格兰伍德合作幼儿园分果汁和甜饼的某位妈妈。 6 近便之交确实方便。有聚会时，她们会借给我们杯子和银餐具生病时，她们会开车带我们的孩子去看足球赛。需要去修车厂取车时，她们会开车送我们过去。度假时，她们会照顾我们的猫。同样，她们需要时，我们也这样做。 7 但是，我们不会与近便之友走得太近或者说得太多；我们会保持感情上的距离以及在公开场合下的那份尊严。“也就是说，”伊莱恩说道，“我会说自己超重了，但不会聊自己沮丧的心情。我会坦陈自己生气了，但我不会说自己愤怒极了。我也许会说这个月缺钱，但绝不会说自己为缺钱愁得要死。” 8 但这并不意味着这种互相帮助的友谊、这种近便之交就没有价值了。 9 同好之交这种友情并不亲密无间，也不必涉及到孩子、银餐具或猫。这种友情的价值在于我们有某种共同的兴趣。所以我们可能有办公室的朋友、一起练瑜珈的朋友、打网球的球友以及女士俱乐部的朋友。 10 “我有一位女友，”乔伊斯说，“她和我一样喜欢修心理学课。这对我以及对她来说都很好。跟自己认识的人一起去上课，下课后一起开车回家，路上讨论学过的内容，非常有意思。”乔伊斯还说，讨论的大部分内容都与课程有关。 11 苏珊谈起每星期二一起练双打的朋友时这样说：“应该说我们所做的就是在一起打球，而不是呆在一起。”“我们主要是由于一起打网球而建立的关系，但我们打球配合得很好。我想我们需要的只不过是一两个球伴而已。” 12 我同意她的观点。 13 总角之交我们都有这样的朋友，他们很久以前就认识我们，可能当我们还在梅尔策小姐任教的班读二年级时，当我们住在布鲁克林一套三居室的公寓时，当我们的父亲七个月没有工作时，当我们的兄弟艾利卷入一场斗殴而不得不叫警察时，或者当我们的姐姐嫁给扬克斯来的牙医时，我们就已经认识了。 14 多年过去了，我们已各奔东西，几乎再也没什么共同之处了，但我们依然是彼此的过往中不可割舍的一部分。因此，不管何时去底特律，我们都会去看看自己少女时代的朋友。她知道我们在牙齿没矫正之前的模样。她知道我们在改掉布鲁克林口音之前说话的腔调。她知道我们从前吃什么，当时连洋蓟都不知道。她的出现把我们带回到从前，那是一段重要而且永远不能忘记的个人历史。 15 萍水之交萍水之交像总角之交一样，其重要性在于过去生活中某个重要阶段我们曾建立起友谊。也许是大学时同居一室；也许一起在纽约工作过，当时年轻气盛、单身一人；也许像伊丽莎白和我一样，一同经历了怀孕、生孩子、头一年做妈妈的可怕时期。

新编英语教程5课文翻译(unit9)

Unit Nine: 新闻将我们引向何方 不久前我应邀参加了一次有关美国报业的作用的公众研讨会。还有另外两个嘉宾也出席了。一位是知名的电视节目主持人，另一位是美国一家主要报纸的编辑，他是一位彻头彻尾的新闻工作者---- 在据实报道的方式上坚忍不拔、积极进取且见识过人。 据我所知本次研讨旨在审查传媒的义务，并提出实现那些义务的最佳途径。 在公开讨论时，观众席中的一位男士向两位嘉宾提问，“为什么报纸和电视新闻节目都充斥灾难？为什么新闻界的男男女女对悲剧、暴力、和失败是如此关注？” 主持人和编辑作出了回答，好像是自己应该为坏消息的存在而受到谴责一样。他们说，新闻工作者只负责报道新闻，而不负责制造或修改新闻。 我不认为这两位新闻工作者回答了这个问题。提出这个问题的先生并没有因为世上的歪曲报道而谴责他们。他只是想知道为什么报道得最多的是歪曲的事件。新闻媒体的运作理念似乎是凡是新闻皆坏事。为什么呢？是不是着重报道负面新闻是一种传统——是新闻工作者所习以为常的对日常事件作出的反应方式？ 在此或许分析一下我们如何定义“新闻”一词会有所帮助，因为这是问题的起因。新闻应该是报道过去十二小时，最迟二十四小时内所发生的事情。然而，突发事件往往具有爆炸性的：一名狙击手枪杀了几名行人，一名恐怖分子劫持了飞机上250名人质，欧佩克石油组织宣布原油价格上涨25%，英国货币又贬值10%，一辆载有放射性废料的卡车与一架水泥搅拌车相撞。 然而，一味聚焦这些报道，则是失真的画面。人类文明成果远远多于灾难总和。每种文明中最重要的成分就是进步。但进步不会立即发生，也没有爆发性。一般来说，它是一点一滴逐步发展的，在某个特定时刻是微不足察的。但是所有微小的进步都参与了历史性的巨变的实现，使社会更加美好。 就是这类活生生的历史，绝大多数的新闻媒体没有予以充分的反映，结果导致我们对社会的正面发展了解不足，对灾难却知之甚多，这又使人产生失败和绝望的情绪，而这些情绪易于阻碍社会进步。爆发性新闻大餐另人忧心忡忡，大大削减了自由社会所需的动力，绝望和偾世的情绪使人没有动力迎接严峻的考验。 我并非暗示可以编造“积极”的新闻来抵消头版上灾难报道的作用。也没有把青年基督会作用的深刻报道定义为“正面”新闻。我要传递的观点是，新闻媒体的职责是搜寻并报道重大事件，无论它们是否有关冲突、对抗或灾难。这个世界是天堂和地狱的绝妙结合，两个方面都需要关注和观察。 我希望新闻界人士能从更宽广的角度审视自己的职责。是时候认识到人类事件中可以作为新闻报道的范围领域是极其宽广的。例如，有几篇新闻文章报道过固氮作用——植物通过这一过程能固定氮肥，由此减低了肥料需求量？全世界的科学家都在为这一前景而努力，希望借此解决饥荒。对远东地区水稻产量提高的巨大进步又了解多少？事实上，世界上还有许多类似的重要发展，这些都值得做重要的新闻综合报道。 主持人和编辑说得对，新闻工作者并没有责任来塑造世界，但是他们有责任影响我们的态度。我们认为自己是怎样的，那我们就是怎样的。我们只能实现那些我们自己敢于设想的目标。新闻工作者为我们提供我们对自身以及这个世界认知的写照——这种写照最好是逼真的肖像，而不是扭曲的漫画像。因为我们就是根据这一写照来做决定，筹划未来的。 按照华特.里普曼的说法，新闻记者是大众的哲学家。他曾经写道？“后天习得的文化并非由基因遗传，美好社会的甜美的生活虽然可得，但却不是一旦拥有就永远不失去。如果美好生活中的智慧没有被传下来，所得一切也将化为乌有。” 有了对美好社会中美好生活的准确报道，我们可以采用伯纳德.德.查维斯建议我们的利

Unit One Hit the nail on the head恰到好处 你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。语言也是如此。一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。差不多的词，不准确的短语，摸棱两可的表达，含糊不清的修饰，都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。他会一直思考，直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。 法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思，即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事，比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。在浩瀚的词海中，词与词之间有着微妙的区别，要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题，还需要人们绞尽脑汁，要观察敏锐。选词是认识过程的一个步骤，也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。有人说：“在我思想未成文之前，我怎么知道自己的想法？”这听起来似乎很离谱，但它确实很有道理。 寻找恰如其分的词的确是件不容易的事。一旦找到了那个词，我们就会感到很欣慰：辛劳得到了回报。准确地用语言有助于我们深入了解我们描述的事物。例如，当有人问你：“某某是怎么样的人？”你回答说：“恩，我想他是个不错的家伙，但他非常……”接着你犹豫了，试图找到一个词或短语来说明他到底讨厌在哪里。当你找到一个恰当的短语的时候，你发觉自己对他的看法更清楚，也更精确了。 一些英语词汇词根相同而意义却截然不同。例如human 和humane,二者的词根相同，词义也相关，但用法完全不同。“human action (人类行为)”和“humane action ( 人道行为)”完全是两码事。我们不能说“人道权力宣言”，而是说“人权宣言”。有一种屠杀工具叫“humane killer ( 麻醉屠宰机)，而不是human killer ( 杀人机器)。 语言中的坏手艺的例子在我们身边随处可见。有人邀请一名学生去吃饭，他写信给予回复。请看他的信是这样结尾的：“我将很高兴赴约并满怀不安（anxiety ）期待着那个日子的到来。”“Anxiety”含有烦恼和恐惧的意味。作者想表达的很可能是一种翘首期盼的心情。“Anxiety”跟热切期盼有一定的关联，但在这个场合是不能等同的。 乌干达一政党领袖给新闻界的一封信中有一句这样写道： 让我们打破这自私、投机、怯懦和无知充斥的乌干达，代之以真理，刚毅，坚定和奇异的精神。 这一激动人心的呼吁被最后一个词“奇异（singularity）”的误用破坏掉了。我猜想作者真正要表达的意思是思想的专一，即抱定一个信念永不改变，咬定青山不放松，不被次要的目的干扰。而singularity 指的是古怪，特性，是将一个人从众多人中区分出来的那种东西。 即使没有出现词语误用，这词仍可能不是符合作者意图的恰如其分的词。一名记者在一篇有关圣诞节的社论中这样引出狄更斯的话： 任何有关圣诞节的想法和文字已经被禁锢(imprisoned )在这句话中……“Imprisonment”暗示着强迫，威逼，这么一来似乎意思是有悖其初衷的。用“包含(contained )”或“归结（summed up ）”就要好些。“概括（epitomized）”也行，尽管听起来有点僵硬。稍微再用点心我们就能准确地找到“mot juste (恰倒好处的词) ”，那就是“distilled”.它比包含和归结语气更强。“Distillation (提炼)”意味得到本质（essence）的东西。因此我们可以进一步把这个句子修改为： 所有有关圣诞节的想法和文字的精华都被提炼到这句话之中。 英语词汇丰富，运用灵活。一个意思有很多种表达方式。但是无论意思上如何相近的词总是存在着些许区别。作为学生就要敏感地意识到这些区别。通过查字典，尤其是通过阅读，

第1单元避免两词铭记两词 在生活中，没有什么比顿悟更令人激动和兴奋的，它可以改变一个人——不仅仅是改变，而且变得更好。当然，这种顿悟是很罕见的，但仍然可以发生在我们所有人身上。它有时来自一本书，一个说教或一行诗歌，有时也来自一个朋友。 在曼哈顿一个寒冷的冬天的下午，我坐在一个法国小餐馆，倍感失落和压抑。因为几次误算，在我生命中一个至关重要的项目就这样落空了。就因为这样，甚至连期望看到一个老朋友（我常常私下亲切的想到的一个老人）的情形都不像以前那样令我兴奋。我坐在桌边，皱起眉头看着色彩多样的桌布，清醒的嚼着苦涩的食物。 他穿过街道，裹着旧棉袄，一顶帽子从光头打下来，看上去不像是一个有名的精神病医生，倒像是一个精力充沛的侏儒。他的办公室在附近到处都有，我知道他刚刚离开他最后一个病人。他接近80岁，但仍然扛着一个装着满满文件的公文包，工作起来仍然像一个大公司的主管，无论何时有空，他都仍然爱去高尔夫球场。 当他走过来坐我旁边时，服务员早已把他总是要喝的啤酒端了过来，我已经几个月没有见他了，但他似乎还是老样子。没有任何寒暄，他就问我“怎么了，年轻人？” 我已经不再对他的样子感到奇怪，所以我详细地把烦恼告诉他。带着一丝忧伤的自豪。我尽量说出实情，除了我自己，我并没有因为失望而责备任何人。我分析了整件事情，但所有负面评价以及错误仍然继续。我讲了约有十五分钟，这期间老人只是默默的喝着啤酒。我讲完后，他取下眼镜说：“到我的办公室去。”“到你的办公室你忘了带什么了吗”他和蔼的说“不是，我想看看你对某些事情的反应，仅此而已。” 外面开始下起小雨，但他的办公室很温暖，舒服，亲切：放满书的书架靠着墙壁，长皮沙发，弗洛伊德的亲笔签名照，还有墙边放着的录音笔。他的秘书回家了，只有我们在那里。老人从纸盒里拿出一盘磁带放进录音笔，然后说：“这里有到我这来求助的三个人的简单录音，当然，这没有说明具体是哪三个人。我想让你听听，看你是否能找出双字词的短语，这里是在三个案例中共有的。”他笑道：“不要这么困扰，我有我的目的。” 对我来说，录音中三个主人共有的东西不是什么快乐的东西。首先讲话的是一个男人，他在生意中经历了一些损失或失败，他指责自己没有辛勤工作，也没有远见。接下来说话的是一个女人，她还没有结婚，因为对她寡妇母亲的强烈的责任意思，她伤心的回忆了所有擦肩而过的婚姻机遇。第三个说话的是一位母亲，她十多岁的儿子在警察局有麻烦，她总是不停地责备自己。 老人关掉收音机，侧身坐到椅子上：“在这些录音中，有一个短语像病毒一样的出现了六次。你注意到了吗没有噢，这可能是因为几分钟前你在餐馆说过了三次。”他拿起磁带盒扔给我。“正好在标签上有那两个伤心的词语。”我向下一看，那里有两个清晰的红色的印字：如果。 “你受惊了吗？”老人说：“你能想象我坐在这把椅子上以这两个词开头的话有多少次了吗？他们总是对我说：如果换一种方法做——或根本不去做。（如果我没发脾气、没有做那虚伪的事、没有说那愚蠢的谎言。如果我聪明点，或更无私点，或更自控点。）直到我打断说话他们才会停止。有时我让他们听你刚说过的录音。我对他们说（如果你停止说如果，我们就已取得进展了。）” 老人伸出双脚，说：“问题是，‘如果’并没有改变任何东西。它使那人面对错误——后退而非前进，那样只是在浪费时间。最后，要是你让它成为一个习惯，它就会变成真的障碍，变成你不再去做尝试的借口了。” “现在回到你的情况：你的计划没成功，为什么？因为你犯了某种错误。唔，这个没关系，毕竟错误谁都会犯，我们也从中学到东西。但是，当你告诉我那些东西时却悔恨这个， 后悔那个的时候，你还没有从错误中学到什么。” “你怎么知道呢？”我用一种辩驳的语气问道。 “因为你还没有从过去中走出来。你根本没提及到未来。在某种程度上——老实说，——现在你仍沉溺于过去。我们

Unit 1 美女还是老虎？ 很久以前，有一个国王，非常野蛮，想像力却非常丰富。他出了很多点子，其中一个就是建一个大竞技场来执行裁决。在那里，罪恶受到惩治，美德得以回报。当臣民被指控犯罪，而且其罪行足以令国王关注时，就会发布公告，告知在某一指定的日期，被指控者的命运将在国王的竞技场上决定。 所有人都已聚集在观众席上，而在竞技场的一边，国王高高地坐在他的御座上，周围簇拥着他的皇室成员及侍臣。当所有人就座后，国王就会发出信号，接着他下面的一扇门就会打开，受到指控的臣民从这儿出来，走入竞技场。在竞技场的另一边，国王的正对面有一模一样的两扇门，紧紧地挨着。受审者直接走向这两扇门，打开其中的一扇，这是他必须做的事，也是他的特殊待遇。他愿意打开哪扇门，就打开哪扇门。他不会得到任何提示，只有凭运气。他可能打开一扇门，里面会出来一只凶残饥饿的老虎。老虎立即立即扑向他，将他撕得四分五裂。这就是对他所犯罪行的惩罚。但是，如果受审者打开另一扇门，里面会走出一位小姐，她是国王从国内众多美女中挑选出来的，是与他的年龄和身份最般配的；他必须立即与这位小姐结婚，这是对他清白无罪的回报。也许他已有妻小，也许他已心有所属，但这一切都不重要。婚礼会立即在竞技场上举行。那时，钟声敲响，观众欢呼，这位无辜的人则领着他的新娘回家。 这就是国王进行裁决的方式。其公正性是显而易见的。如果被告有罪，他将立即受到惩治；如果清白，则当场得到回报。这种制度非常受欢迎。其中的不确定因素给这种场合增添了趣味性。 国王有一个漂亮任性的女儿，是国王的掌上明珠。他爱她胜过爱任何人。在他的侍臣中，有一位职位较低的年轻人，由于他英俊、勇武，公主爱上了他。他们幸福地恋爱了好几个月之后，有一天被国王碰巧发现了。国王立即将年轻人监禁起来，并定下日期要在竞技场审判他。这样的案子以前从未发生过；以前也从未有任何臣民胆敢爱上国王的女儿。 为了寻找最凶猛的老虎带到竞技场上去，搜遍了整个王国所有关老虎的笼子。同时对年轻漂亮的少女也进行了甄选，以便为他挑选一位最合适的新娘，以备此人命不该绝。当然，众人皆知，他确实做了他被指控的事。他爱公主，并对此供认不讳，然而国王却以此为乐，想看看这年轻人斗胆爱上公主究竟有没有错。 审判的日子到了。人们从四面八方赶来，挤满了竞技场的观众席。国王和他的侍臣们也来到了竞技场，正对着那两扇一模一样的门坐了下来。一切准备就绪，信号发出，国王一行人下面的一扇门打开了，公主的情人走进了竞技场。他高大英俊，人群中发出了一片赞叹声。有半数的观众不知道竟然有这么一位气度不凡的青年生活在他们中间。难怪公主会爱上他！让他出现在这样的场合真是太可怕了！ 当这位青年走进竞技场时，按照惯例，他转身向国王鞠躬，然而他脑子里却根本没有这位王室人物的存在。他的眼睛只是死死地盯着坐在她父亲右边的公主。自从要在竞技场上决定她情人命运的命令发出的那一刻起，公主的心里就再也没想过别的事。由于她比以往任何一位与案件有关的人都具有更大的权利和更强的决心，她发现了这两扇门的秘密。她知道哪扇门后面是敞开着的老虎笼，哪扇门后面有一位小姐等在那儿。她凭借黄金和决心发现了这个秘密。 公主也知道那位小姐是谁。她是宫廷中所有小姐中最漂亮的一位，公主嫉恨她。公主经常看见，或者想像中看见，这位美人儿向她的情人暗送秋波，公主有时候也想到她的情人会回敬这位小姐的目光，她时不时地还看到他们在一起说话。 当公主的情人朝她看、两人四目相对时，他知道她清楚哪扇门后蹲着老虎，哪扇门后站着小姐。他早就预料到她会知道的，因为他非常了解她的秉性和决心。此时此刻他那迅速而焦急的一瞥就是在问这样一个问题：“哪扇门？”这个（用目光表示的）问题对她来说是再明白不过了，就像他从他站着的地方向她大声提问一样明白无误。时间一刻都不能耽误。问题是在一刹那间提出的，答案也必须在刹那间给出。她抬起手，朝右边作了一个不起眼而且很快的手势。除了她的情人以外，没有人看到她的这一动作。每个人的眼睛都盯着竞技场上的这个人。所有人都屏声息气，所有的眼睛依然盯着他。他毫不犹豫地朝右边那扇门走去，并将它打开。 现在，故事的关键是：从这扇门出来的是老虎还是美女？对这个问题我们考虑得越多，就越难给出答案。它涉及到对人们内心世界的研究，这种研究必然要经历一个个迂回曲折的激情迷宫，从中我们很难找到出路。绝望和嫉妒交织在一起，像火一样煎熬着公主的心。她已失去了他，但是谁应该得到他呢？多少次在醒着的时候，多少次在梦中，她
