[05:08.30]who try to complain about cruel living and working conditions

[07:10.29]and,in groups of five,

[07:12.17]五人一组,

[07:14.05]were shackled together in leg irons joined by an eight-foot chain. [07:16.98]用一条长八英尺的铁链将脚镣连在一起.

[07:31.42]While they are working on the gang,

[07:33.25]他们被拴成一队工作时,

[07:35.08]they'll also live in some of the harshest prison conditions in the United States.

[07:38.06]还要住在美国最严酷的监狱环境中.

[07:41.04]There'll be no televisions or phone calls;

[07:43.16]没有电视或电话,

[07:45.29]many other day-to-day privileges will be denied."

[07:47.81]许多日常的基本权利也拒绝给予."

[07:50.33]The authorities in Alabama

[07:52.07]阿拉巴马州官方讲,

[07:53.81]say there is a lot of support for there,introduction of chain gangs in the State

[07:59.76]after a gap of 30 years

[08:01.59]在30年后许多工作人支持在州里恢复用铁链把囚犯拴在起的做法

[08:03.42](the last gangs were abolished in Georgia in the early 1960s).

[08:06.24](在20世纪60年代早期佐治来州废除了最后一批铁链囚犯队).

[08:09.06]Many people believe it is an effective way

[08:13.64]to get criminals to pay back their debt to society.

[08:15.86]许多工作人相信这是一种让罪犯向社会还清债务的有效途径.

[08:18.08]The prisoners stay shackled when they use toilets.

[08:20.35]囚犯们上厕所时也戴着镣铐,

[08:22.62]They reacted sharply to the treatment they are given:

[08:24.89]他们强烈反抗他们所受到的待遇.

[08:27.17]Prisoner one: "This is like a circus.A zoo.

[08:30.04]第一个囚犯说:"这像是一个马戏团,一个动物园.

[08:32.91]All chained here to a zoo.We're all animals now."

[08:35.64]这里所有的人都拴在动物园里,现在我们就像动物一样."

[08:38.37]Prisoner two: "It's degrading. It's embarrassing."

[08:41.25]第二个囚犯说:"这时污辱,令人困窘."

[08:44.12]Prisoner three: "In chains. It's slavery!"

[08:47.01]第三个囚犯说:"戴着锁链,这简直是奴隶制."

[08:49.89]Six out of every ten prisoners in chains are black,

[08:52.26]每十个戴锁链的囚犯里有六个黑人,

[08:54.62]which is why the chain gangs call up images of slavery in centuries gone by

[08:57.65]这就是为什么使戴锁链的囚犯们想起几个世纪以前的奴隶制的情景.

[09:00.68]when black people were brought from Africa in leg irons

[09:03.01]那时,黑人戴着脚镣从非洲被带来,

[09:05.33]and made to work in plantations owned by white men.

[09:07.67]被近在白人拥有的种植园里干活儿.

[09:10.01]Not surprisingly,

[09:11.54]毫不令人奇怪的是,

[09:13.06]although threequartersof the white population of Alabama supports chain gangs,

[09:15.99]虽然3/4的阿拉巴马州的白人支持把囚犯用铁链拴在一起,

[09:18.92]only a small number of black people do.

[09:20.89]但只有少数黑人支持.

[09:22.86]Don Claxton,spokesman for the State Government of Alabama,

[09:25.84]阿拉巴马州政府发言人唐.克莱克斯顿坚持说,

[09:28.82]insists that the system is not racist:

[09:30.84]这种制度并非种族歧视:

[09:32.87]"This isn't something that's done for racial reasons,for political reasons.

[09:35.74]"并不是由于种族或政治原因而这样做.

[09:38.61]This is something that's going to help save the people of Alabama tax money

[09:41.39]这样做能帮助节省阿拉马马州的税收,

[09:44.18]because they don't have to pay as many officers to work on the highways. [09:46.81]因为不必再为在公路上工作人员付报酬了.

[09:49.45]And it's going to help clean up our highways

[09:51.48]并且这也会帮助清理公路,

[09:53.50]and it's going to help clean up the State."

[09:55.38]有助于清洁整个州.

[09:57.26]However,the re-introduction of these measures

[10:01.91]has caused a great deal of strong disagreement.

[10:03.99]然而,重新彩这些措施招致了许多强烈的反对.

[10:06.07]Human rights organizations say that putting prisoners in chains

[10:08.80]人权组织声称,把囚犯用铁链锁起来

[10:11.53]is not only inhumane but also ineffective.

[10:13.96]不公不人道,而且不起作用.

[10:16.39]Alvin Bronstein,member of the Civil Liberties Union,

[10:19.06]国民自由协会的成员阿尔文.布朗斯坦认为,

[10:21.74]says that study after study has shown

[10:23.92]多次研究表明

[10:26.10]you cannot prevent people from committing crimesby punishment

[10:31.07]or the threat of punishment:

[10:32.89]通过惩罚或威胁智囊团不能阻止人们犯罪,

[10:34.72]"What they will do is make prisoners more angry,more hostile,

[10:37.40]"他们这样做的结果将是使犯人更恼怒,更有敌意.

[10:40.08]so that when they get ut of prison,

[10:41.82]因此当他们从监狱里出来时,

[10:43.55]they will increase the level of their criminal behaviour."

[10:45.83]就会犯更大大的罪行."

[10:48.10]Civil liberties groups say that chaining people together

[10:50.53]国民自由团体说,用铁链把人们锁在一起

[10:52.96]doesn't solve the causes of crime,

[10:54.94]解决不了犯罪的诱因,

[10:56.93]such as poverty or disaffection within society.

[10:59.20]如社会的贫穷或不满.

[11:01.47]What it does is punish prisoners for the ills of society.

[11:04.01]这样做就是因为社会的病态而惩罚罪犯.

[11:06.54]They say the practice takes the United States back to the Middle Ages, [11:09.17]他们说这种行为会把美国带回中世纪,

[11:11.79]and that it is a shame to American society.

[11:13.97]这是美国社会的耻辱.

[11:16.15]But that's not an argument likely to win favour

[11:20.52]among many people in the Deep South of the United States.

[11:22.84]但这种争论不大可能记得美国南方腹地人们的支持.

[11:25.17]Alabama's experiment is to be widened to include more prisoners, [11:27.96]阿拉马州的实验(这种惩罚方式)将要被推广到更大多囚犯向上.

[11:30.76]and other States,such as Arkansas and Arizona,

[11:33.28]其他州,诸如阿肯钯州和亚利桑那州,

[11:35.80]will very probably introduce their own chain gang schemes.

[11:38.37]很可能要推行他们自己的为囚犯锁上铁链的计划.

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文原文及翻译

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

大学英语自学教程(上册) unit 23 非言语交际 23-A. Non-verbal Communication If anyone asked you what were the main means of communication between people, what would you say? That isn’t a catch question. The answer is simple and obvious. It would almost certainly refer to means of communication that involve the use of words. Speakers and listeners-oral communication, and writers and readers-written communication. And you’d be quite right. There is, however, another form of communication which we all use most of the time, usually without knowing it. This is sometimes called body language. Its more technical name is non-verbal communication. Non-verbal, because it does not involve the use of words. NVC for short. When someone is saying something with which he agrees, the average European will smile and nod approval. On the other hand, if you disagree with what they are saying, you may frown and shake your head. In this way you signal your reactions, and communicate them to the speaker without saying a word. I referred a moment ago to "the average European”, because body language is very much tied to culture, and in order not to misunderstand, or not to be misunderstood, you must realize this. A smiling Chinese, for instance, may not be approving but somewhat embarrassed. Quite a lot of work is now being done on the subject of NVC, which is obviously important, for instance, to managers, who have to deal every day with their staff, and have to understand what other people are feeling if they are to create good working conditions. Body language, or NVC signals, are sometimes categorized into five kinds: 1.body and facial gestures; 2.eye contact; 3.body contact or "proximity"; 4.clothing and physical appearance; and 5.the quality of speech. I expect you understood all those, except perhaps "proximity." This simply means "closeness". In some cultures-and I am sure this is a cultural feature and not an individual one-it is quite normal for people to stand close together, or to more or less thrust their face into yours when they are talking to you. In other cultures, this is disliked; Americans, for instance, talk about invasion of their space. Some signals are probably common to all of us. If a public speaker (like a professor, for example) is all the time fiddling with a pencil, or with his glasses, while he is talking to you, he is telling you quite clearly that he is nervous. A person who holds a hand over his mouth when he is talking is signaling that he is lacking in confidence. If you start wriggling in your chairs, looking secretly at your watches or yawning behind your hands, I shall soon get the message that I’m boring you. And so on. I'm sure you could make a whole list of such signals-and it might be fun if you did. All the signals I have mentioned so far can be controlled. If you are aware that you are doing these things, you can stop. You can even learn to give false signals. Most public speakers are in fact nervous, but a good speaker learns to hide this by giving off signals of confidence. Other kinds of NVC are not so easy to control. Eye contact, for instance. Unless you are confessing intense love, you hardly ever look into someone else’s eyes for very long. If you try it, you’ll find they will soon away, probably in embarrassment.

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式

我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢？他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以（也应该）示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理，解释道，首先，我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心，而且在探索，这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于，在这个过程中，我们试图让本杰明懂得，一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好，画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说，他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境，在这些情境中，一个人必须学会独立思考，学会独立解决问题，进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来，当时我就清楚地意识到，这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时，他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反，他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到，这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为：他们是在恪守中国传统，把着手教，教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

大学英语自学教程电子版教材上册大学英语自学教程(上) 01-A. How to be a successful language learner? ―Learning a language is easy, even a child can do it!‖ Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner. Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. Conversely, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields. Language teachers often offer advice to language learners: “Read as much as you can in the new language.”“ Practice speaking the language every day. ”“Live with people who speak the language.”“Don‘t translate-try to think in the new language.”“ Learn as a child would learn; play with the language.” But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢？它们会得到加强还是削弱？作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿，在芝加哥长大，就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁，过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方，先是在伦敦，1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年，他放弃美国护照，成为英国公民，因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要，”他说，“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友，又喜欢你所做的事情，那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒，但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利，现在经营着一家法国技术公司，该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而，尽管曼德尔全球到处跑，已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间，但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人，”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and
