Unit 11 The Iks

The small tribe of Iks, formerly nomadic hunters and gatherers in the mountain valleys of northern Uganda, have become celebrities, literary symbols for the ultimate fate of disheartened, heartless mankind at large. Two disastrously conclusive things happened to them: the government decided to have a national park, so they were compelled by law to give up hunting in the valleys and become farmers on poor hillside soil, and then they were visited for two years by an anthropologist who detested them and wrote a book about them.

小部落伊克人，曾经在乌干达北部山谷里过着狩猎和采集的游牧民族生活，已变成名人，总体来说，成了最终命运沮丧的、无情的人的人文象征。两件具有灾难性、决定性意义的事情发生在他们身上。政府决定建一座国家公园，所以他们依法被迫放弃在山谷里的狩猎生活，而变成贫瘠的山坡地里的农民。之后，一个憎恶他们的人类学家访问了他们两年，并写了一本关于他们的书。

The message of the book is that the Iks have transformed themselves into an irreversibly disagreeable collection of unattached, brutish creatures, totally selfish and loveless, in response to the dismantling of their traditional culture. Moreover, this is what the rest of us are like in our inner selves, and we will all turn into Iks when the structure of our society comes all unhinged.

书的主旨是说，伊克人已经将自己变成了无药可救的不友善的人渣，是独立的、野兽般的生物，完全的自私无情。这是对他们分崩离析的传统文化所做出的反应。此外，这也是我们内在本性的模样。当我们的社会结构全部瓦解时，我们都将变成伊克人。

The argument rests, of course, on certain assumptions about the core of human beings, and is necessarily speculative. You have to agree in advance that man is fundamentally a bad lot , out for himself alone , displaying such graces as affection and compassion only as learned habits . If you take this view, the story of the Iks can be used to confirm it. These people seem to be living together, clustered in small, dense villages, but they are really solitary, unrelated individuals with no evident use for each other. They talk, but only to make ill-tempered demands and cold refusals. They share nothing. They never sing. They turn the children out to forage as soon as they can walk, and desert the elders to starve whenever they can, and the foraging children snatch food from the mouths of the helpless elders. It is a mean society.

论点当然是建立在对人性的必要的推测性假设的基础上。首先，你得同意人性本恶，所表现出的喜爱和同情的优雅，仅仅是学到的习性，并非与生俱来。如果你持此观点，伊克人的故事就可以用来佐证。这些人表面上生活在一起，群居在小而密集的村庄，但是他们真的是独立的、没有关联的、对别人毫无明显作用的个人。他们聊天，但仅仅是提出坏脾气的要求，做出冷漠的拒绝。他们毫无分享，从不唱歌。他们将刚会走路的孩子赶出去寻找食物，将老人抛弃任由其饿死。觅食的孩子从无助的老者嘴下抢夺食物。这是个卑鄙自私的社会。

They breed without love or even casual regard. They defecate on each other’s doorsteps. They watch their neighbors for signs of misfortune, and only then do they laugh. In the book they do a lot of laughing, having so much bad luck. Several times they even laughed at the anthropologist, who found this especially repellent (one

senses, between the lines, that the scholar is not himself the world’s luckiest man). Worse, they took him into the family, snatched his food, defecated on his doorstep, and hooted dislike at him. They gave him two bad years.

他们对待老人孩子没有爱，甚至是粗疏的关心；他们在别人家的门口台阶上排泄；他们仅仅会在看到邻居遭难时才会发笑。在书中，他们时常发笑，因为时常倒霉。有时他们甚至嘲笑这位人类学家，这让他感到尤其的反感（从字里行间可以感觉到，学者在这个世界并不是他想象中的最幸运的人）。更为糟糕的是，他们把他带回家中，抢他的食物，在他的家门口台阶上排泄，奚落厌恶他。他们折磨了他两年。

It is a depressing book. If , as he suggests , there is only Ikness at the center of each of us , our sole hope for hanging on to the name of humanity will be in endlessly mending the structure of our society , and it is changing so quickly and completely that we may never find the threads in time. Meanwhile, left to ourselves alone, solitary, we will become the same joyless, zestless, untouching lone animals.

这是一本令人沮丧的书。如果像他所说，我们每个人心中都只有像伊克人那样的特性，那么我们维系人性之名的唯一希望就是不断地修补我们的社会结构。而这个社会结构变化得如此之快，如此之彻底，结果我们永远也不会及时找到修补的手段。如果仅剩我们自己，我们也将变成没有欢乐的，没有热情的，无动于衷的孤独生物。

But this may be too narrow a view. For one thing, the Iks are extraordinary. They are absolutely astonishing, in fact. The anthropologist has never seen people like them anywhere, nor have I. You’d think, if they were simply examples of the common essence of mankind, they’d seem more recognizable. Instead, they are bizarre, anomalous. I have known my share of peculiar , difficult , nervous , grabby people , but I’ve never encountered any genuinely , consistently detestable human beings in all my life . The Iks sounds more like abnormalities, maladies.

这也许是一种偏见。首先，伊克人是例外的，事实上绝对令人震惊。人类学家从来没有在其他任何地方见过像他们这样的人，我也没有。你想，如果他们代表了人类的共同本质，他们似乎就更容易被辨认出来。然而他们是怪异的，例外的。对于个性独特的，难以相处的，神经质的，贪婪的人，我已经够了解的了。但在我一生中，也从没遇到过真正的至始至终令人憎恶的人。伊克人听上去更像是不正常的，有病的人。

I cannot accept it. I do not believe that the Iks are representative of isolated, revealed man, unobscured by social habits. I believe their behavior is something extra, something laid on. This unremitting, compulsive repellence is a kind of complicated ritual. They must have learned to act this way, they copied it, somehow.

我不同意这个观点。我并不认为伊克人代表了孤立的，因生活习惯而出名的人。我认为他们的行为是一些额外的，附加的。这种无休止的强制的排外行为是一种复杂的仪式。他们一定是以某种方式学到的并加以模仿。

I have a theory, then. The Iks have gone crazy.

我有个想法，就是，伊克人已经疯了。

The solitary Ik, isolated in the ruins of an exploded culture, has built a new defense for himself. If you live in an unworkable society you can make up one of your own, and this is what the Iks have done. Each Ik has become a group, a one-man tribe

on its own, a constituency.

孤独的伊克人，孤立于瓦解的文化废墟之上，为自己建立了一套新的防御体系。如果你生活在一个不运转的社会中，你也可以建立起一个自己的防御体系，伊克人就是这样做的。每个伊克人都已变成了一个团体，一个单人部落，一个选举区。

Now everything falls into place. This is why they do seem, after all, vaguely familiar to all of us. We’ve seen them before. This is precisely the way groups of one size or another, ranging from committees to nations, behave. It is, of course, this aspect of humanity that has lagged behind the rest of evolution, and this is why the Iks seems so primitive. In his absolute selfishness, his incapacity to give anything away, no matter what, he is a successful committee. When he stands at the door of his hut, shouting insults at his neighbors in a loud harangue, he is city addressing another city.

现在一切都已经清楚了。这就是对我们而言，他们看起来比较熟悉的原因。我们之前见过他们。准确地说，这就是不同规模团体的行为方式，小到委员会，大到国家。当然，人性方面落后于其他地区的文明进化，是伊克人看起来这么原始落后的原因。他绝对的自私，无能力给出任何东西，不管怎么说，他是一个成功的委员会。当他站在自己的小屋门口时，以长篇演讲地方式来大声地辱骂它的邻居时，他是一个城市向另一个城市发表演说。

Cities have all the Ik characteristics. They defecate on doorsteps, in rivers and lakes, their own or anyone else’s. They detest all neighboring cities, give nothing away. They even build institutions for deserting elders out of sight.

城市具有所有伊克人的特质。他们向自己的和其他城市的门口台阶和河流湖泊排污。他们讨厌所有邻居城市，从不互通有无。他们甚至为了眼不见新不烦，而把老人送到养老院。

Nations are the most Iklike of all. No wonder the Iks seem familiar. For total greed, rapacity, heartlessness, and irresponsibility there is nothing to match a nation. Nations, by law, are solitary, self-centered, withdrawn into themselves. There is no such thing as affection between nations, and certainly no nation ever loved another. They bawl insults from their doorsteps , defecate into whole oceans , snatch all the food , survive by detestation , take joy in the bad luck of others , celebrate the death of others , live for the death of others .

国家是最像伊克人的。难怪伊克人看起来熟悉。贪婪、贪心、无情、不负责任，是最适合来形容国家的。国家通过法律，成为孤独的，以自我为中心的个体。在国家之间没有爱可言，一个国家当然不会爱另一个国家。他们站在门口台阶上大声喊叫辱骂，污染整片海洋，抢夺食物，在憎恶中生存，从别人的不幸中取乐，庆祝别人的死亡，一心想着别人的死。

That’s it, and I shall stop worrying about the book. It does not signify that man is sparse, inhuman thing at his center. He’s all right. It only says what we’ve always known and never had enough time to worry about, that we haven’t yet learned how to stay human when assembled in masses. The Ik, in his despair, is acting out this failure, and perhaps we should pay closer attention. Nations have themselves become too frightening to think about, but we might learn something by watching these people.

就到这，不要担心这本书。这本书并不是说人是稀有的而本性是无情的。他是对的。书仅仅说了我们一直都知道的，但从没有足够的时间担忧的事情。我们没有学会如何在人群中保持人性。绝望的伊克人，表现出这种失败，或许我们应该更为关注。国家使自己变得害怕思考，但我们可以从观察这些人中学到点什么。

大学英语翻译课堂教学存在的问题以及对策

大学英语翻译课堂教学存在的问题以及对策 【摘要】自翻译成为一门独立的学科以来，翻译教学的重要性越来越受到重视。但在大学英语翻译课堂中仍然存在一些问题，导致翻译教学效果不佳，学生的翻译水平有限。本文探讨了大学英语翻译教学的现状和存在的问题，以及如何采取必要措施，切实提高学生的翻译能力，为社会、市场输出更多符合需求的翻译人才。 【关键词】大学英语翻译教学问题 1.大学英语翻译教学的现状及存在问题 随着经济的全球化以及对外交流的进一步扩大，翻译能力的重要性得到进一步的凸显。而翻译成为一个正式的学科，也极大地推动了翻译教学的发展。根据国家教委颁发的《大学英语教学大纲》，对学生英语翻译能力的要求指能借助词典，将难度略低于课文的英语短文翻译成汉语，能达到基本的翻译要求，译速为每小时300个英语单词。但目前的翻译教学还存在很多问题，使达到这个目标有一定困难，亟待解决。 1.1教师定位不准确，与学生的互动和交流有待加强 翻译是一门注重实践的学科，学生需要大量的练习才能磨练出翻译水平，而在练习的过程中，翻译的技巧起着指导

性的作用。因此，教师在翻译课堂上更像是一个指路人，而并不是掌控课堂所有话语权的主导者。教师给予翻译技巧、翻译案例、应对方法，同时给学生的翻译实践做出反馈。而如果教师不给予学生一定的主动性，和学生的互动不够的话，势必会背离翻译教学的目标。 1.2 过分依赖多媒体技术 多媒体教学由教师、学生、教学内容与多媒体构成，其本质于传统课堂相同，只是加入了多媒体的手段。多媒体教学拥有很多传统的课堂教学模式没有的优势，但是这并不代表教师要完全摒弃传统的教学模式。然而，在实际操作过程中，很多教师过分依赖多媒体技术，却忽略了传统的教学模式的使用，结果不但没有提升教学质量，反而降低教学质量。在传统的教学环境下，教师撰写教案，在课堂上以板书的形式为学生讲解教学重点以及难点。多媒体环境下，教师为了节省板书的时间，采用PPT课件的形式进行教学。但如果完全依赖于教学课件，整节课堂不进行任何板书或只有少量板书，一味借助PPT进行讲解，教学效果便会大打折扣。更有甚者，一旦停电或者多媒体设备出现故障，便无法正常完成教学内容的讲解。 1.3只注重理论教育，忽略实践能力的培养 在全球化的背景下，社会需要的是既具有一定的理论基础，又具有一定的实践能力的综合性人才。但在目前的英语

河海大学研究生英语课文及翻译(重点单词突出显示,)Unit 4 Explicit and Implicit Moral Education

Imagine a guardsman, from the moment he falls in on parade in the morning until the moment th e parade is dismissed, every conscious action he makes is predetermined and controlled. If inadv ertently he does something that is not in the schedule, such as drop his rifle, he has to cover up t he accident by pretending to faint. To do anything other than conform might show originality and inventiveness, but from the point of view of military ethos（风气，社会思潮） would be immoral. 想象一下，一个卫士，从他早上在阅兵仪式的那一刻起直到游行解解散的那一刻,他的每一个有意识的动作都是受预定和控制的。如果他无意间做了什么计划外的事情，比如像掉了他的步枪，他不得不假装晕倒来掩盖事故。做除了承认以外的任何事情都可以展示出独创性和创造性，但是从军事风气的角度来看可能是不道德的。 That is an example of a thorough-going explicit moral system. In it actions are rigidly divided into right ones and wrong ones, permitted ones and non-permitted ones, and everyone involved acce pts this without question; and to train a participant in such a system is an explicit matter, and the simplest form of behaviour training, provided the learners acknowledge the teacher as an unques tionable authority who knows exactly what moral behaviour is. 这是一个彻底的显性道德体系的例子。它的行动被严格分为正确的和错误的，允许的和不准许的，并且体系内的人接受这个没有问题，并且培养在这样的系统中的参与者是一个明确的事情，，最简单的行为训练的形式，倘若学习者承认教师作为一个不容置疑的权威，明确分辨道德行为与否。Consider the same guardsman in the evening, in a tavern with a girl. His behaviour is not so rigor ously controlled, and he has many choices of action, many decisions to make. In that case, all sort s of pressures are influencing his choice of actions. What his peer group does, what is the custom at the moment in that area, what he thinks the girlfriend will accept or expect, maybe the sort of lifestyle he has seen displayed in television plays, the things he has read about in the papers, thes e are all contributing to his decisions. He has not been instructed explicitly, as in the morning, but he has had a much more diffuse implicit training in behaviour, derived from many sources.考虑同样的卫士，在晚上，同一个女孩在一个小酒馆。他的行为是不那么严格的受控制，他的行动有很多选择，很多决定去下。在这种情况下，各种压力都会影响他的行动选择。他的同龄人做的，此刻在此方面的习惯，他认为的这个女性朋友会接受或者拒绝的，或者他在电视上看到的生活方式，书上读到的故事，这些都有助于他的决定。同早上比，他没有被明确指示，但是他有一个更加扩散的隐性训练行为，来自多种来源。 These, then, are the two forms of education available to those who wish to influence others' mor als - the explicit instruction and the implicit influence of surrounding behaviour. Which do we use with school pupils, or do we perhaps need to make use of each at different times? Above, in desc ribing the morning parade morals of the guardsman, it was pointed out that explicit instruction d epended on the learner's acceptance of the authority of the instructor. Without that acceptance t he system breaks down. While to the same guardsman in the evening, in a tavern with a girl, such explicit moral exhortation would probably have little effect, because the speaker is not regarded as an authority, but rather as a crank. This illustrates the impossibility of having explicit moral edu cation unless all concerned have agreed on the fundamental principles, and on who has the right to expound them and say how they apply in practice. Where you have a society or an organizatio n in which such accord is possible, then behaviour is determined and can be the subject of explici t instruction.那么，明确的指导和周围环境的隐性影响是两种有效的教育模式对那些想要影响他人道德的人来说。我们用哪一种当面对学校学生是，或在不同时刻我们用每一个。上面，在描述上午游行的卫兵的道德时，指出显性指导依赖于学习者对指导者权威的承认。如果不承认系统就崩溃了。而相同的卫兵在晚上,在酒2013年ACCA/CAT考试全攻略每日一练历年

'I imagine there may be plenty of legends attached to such a dramatic-looking place' , I suggested . “您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗?”他压低了嗓声对我说。“我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性，有关它的传说一定不少，”我说。 'It's no legend' , declared the old man.'My father knew the two men involved. It all took place fift y years ago to-day. Let me tell you. His voice seemed to grow deeper and more dramatic. “这可不是传说，”那老头郑重其事地说。“我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。一切都发生在50年前的今天。让我说给您听听吧。” 他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。 'For a whole week that lighthouse had been isolated by storms' , he began, 'with terrifying seas s urging and crashing over the rocks. People on shore were anxious about the two men working th ere. They'd been on the best of terms until two or three weeks before, when they had quarrelled over cards in the village inn.

英语翻译课程学习方法 一、传统教材与新教材的关系从今年始，英汉互译的自学考试将由全国高等教育自学考试 指导委员会统一组织实施和管理。这对统一全国考生的要求，提高翻译实践能力和水平都是件好事。目前，相关的统编教材，由庄绎传所编写的《英汉翻译教程》已出版发行。这本教材采用了与传统教材不一样的编写思路。不再是以词、句为单位进行翻译方法，如直译、意译等方法及词类转换，增词、减词之类的技巧进行学习，而是直接进入篇章，以各种文体的篇章为单位进行练习。这是一种创新，是有助于提高考生实际翻译能力的。因为我们在翻译实践中很少情况只是译词或译句，而是篇章的翻译。所以，这将更接近于我们的工作实际了。但这也会为初学翻译的学生带来一些不利条件，那就是对翻译的基本方法与技巧缺乏认识。所以在新教材的第404 页“有关说明与实施要求”中提到参考书，明确指出由张培基等人编写的《英汉翻译教程》（上海外语教育出版社）一书，以及吕瑞昌等人编写的《汉英翻译教程》(陕西人民出版社）一书仍是重要的参考书，我认为作为初学翻译的同志这两本书是一定要看一看的。当然这两本教材也有其明显的不足，即仅以词、句为单位探讨翻译，而没有进入篇章的层次。我们如果把两种教材结合起来，以老教材为辅，以新教材为主，会有较好的成效。 二、篇章翻译的几个问题首先，凡是一个篇章，就会遇到文体的问题，就是我们必须明确 我们所要译的文章是文学作品还是科学、法律方面的文章，是一篇简介性的文字还是一篇讲演词。因为不同文体的文章在表现形式上是很不一样的，如法律文体有一些法律常用词语，科技也会各自有一些专门术语，应用文有时有严格的格式要求，文学则更为复杂，因为其中对话，描述，心理描写，景物或人物描写又各有不同。议论文句式严谨，语言正式，长句较多，等等，这在遣词用句上都有差异。这本教材在P395页“课程内容与考核目标” 都有粗略的说明。请学员认真看一下，并可结合其他有关参考书丰富其内容，以便有更好的掌握。 其次是语域问题。 所谓“语域”（register）是指具有某种具体用途的语言变体，我们可以从交际领域、交际方式和交际关系把语言分成不同的语域，如从交际双方的社会地位和社会关系来说，英语可以分为冷漠体，正式体，商量体，随便体，亲密体等五种，如果从交际领域来分又可以分成正式体，半正式体，公共核心体，半非正式体，非正式体等。不同的语域语言变体彼此是有区别的，如果用几个简单的例子来说明一下就会看得很清楚。如“汤姆病了，今天没去上学”，如果说Tom didn't go to school ，because he was ill. 这就是一句公共核心语，而如果说Tom was ill ，so he didn't go to school.这就是口语体，即非正式语体，如果说：Being ill ，T om didn't go to school 或Tom didn't go to school because of illness. 都是正式语体（当然这句话的内容用这种句式表达并不合适）。从中我们可以看到用原因从句的表达方式是比较正常的，用so连接的句子显得不怎么正式，用抽象名词和分词短语的形式都显得十分正式。另外有些表示相同意思的不同表示形式也有语域方面的区别。如according to和in accordance with，前者为公共核心语，而后者为正式用语，It is important 和It is of importance相比，也是前者为公共核心语，而后者为正式体。甚至连冠词的用法都可以表示这种区别，The horse is a useful animal；A horse is a useful aninal；Horses are useful animals.第一种用定冠词加单数名词表示类属的是正式用法，而用不定冠词加单数名词表示类属的则为公共核心语，最后一种，复数泛指的类属表示法则为非正式语体。 所以，我们在接触一个篇章时，弄清它的语域情况是十分重要的。因为这将决定我们在翻译时如何选词组句，例如，我们看到下面一个句子：After an hour of climbing，we finally found ourselue's at zhurong Peak，the very apex of Mt ，Hengshan，towering 1，296m

2015年--河海大学研究生英语一 -Unit-16---The-Role-of-Scie nce-Fiction

Unit 16 The Role of Science Fiction The year 1972 was marked by this publication of a controversial book. The Limits to Growth. This study of the world’s future, done by a team of MIT scientists with the aid of computer “models” of the future of our society, forecast a planetwide disaster unless humankind sharply limits its population growth and consumption of natural resources. 1972年为世人所瞩目的一件事就是出版了一本颇有争议的书——《增长的极限》。这一有关世界前景的研究，是由麻省理工学院一组科学家借助模拟未来社会的电脑“模型”进行的，预言了人类若不大幅度限制人口增长和自然资源消耗，就会出现全球性的灾难。 Most people were caught by surprise when the book came out. Many refused to believe that disaster is possible, probable, inevitable---if we don’t change our mode of running Spaceship Earth. But science fiction people were neither surprised nor outraged. The study was really old news to them. They’d been making their own “models” of tomorrow and testing them all their lives. 该书问世时大多数人吃了一惊。许多人拒绝相信存在发生灾难的可能性、盖然性、必然性——倘使我们不改变对“地球飞船”的管理方式的话。但科幻小说家及其读者却既不惊讶，也不愤慨。事实上，这项研究对他们来说已不是什么新鲜事了。他们毕生都在制作自己的未来世界“模型”，并付诸试验。 For what the scientists attempted with their computer model is very much like the thing that science fiction writers and readers have been doing for decades. Instead of using a computer to “model” a future world society, science fiction writers have used their human imaginations. This gives the writers some enormous advantages. 因为科学家们试图用电脑模型实现的事与科幻小说作家及其读者数十年来所做的非常相象。科幻小说作家并不依靠电脑来“模拟”一个未来世界，而是凭借人类的想象力。这给了作家某些极为有利的条件。 One of the advantages is flexibility. 有利条件之一就是灵活性。 Science fiction writers are not in the business of predicting the future. They do something much more important. They try to show the many possible futures that lie open to us. 科幻小说作家的职责不在预言未来，他们做的比这重要得多。他们试图展现许多可能出现在我们面前的前景。 For there is not simply a future, a time to come that’s inevitable. Our future is built, bit by bit, minute by minute, by the actions of human beings. One vital role of science fiction is to show what kinds of future might result from certain kinds of human actions. 因为并非只有一种前途，一种时代会不可避免地降临人间。我们的未来世界是由人类用自身的行动一点一滴地、一分一秒地创造起来的。科幻小说的一个重要作用，便是揭示人类某几种行为的结果会形成哪几种未来世界。 To communicate the ideas, the fears and feel of all infinite possible futures, science fiction writers lean heavily on another of their advantages: the art of
