攻势已经持续了三天，但是我们并没有取得多少进展。我们在前线与敌人交战的部队遇到了强力的抵抗。师长（DIVISION COMMANDER）命令我们营（BATTALION）绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而，要绕到敌人后方，我们必须越过一片沼泽地（MARSHLAND）。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。我们在夜幕掩盖下出发，不顾困难，奋勇向前。幸运的是，夜间温度突然下降到摄氏零下20度，烂泥地都结上了冰。由于这寒冷的天气，我们于天亮前到达并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备，不久便投降了。 The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground.

We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.

They are indeed of great use to us, but they have brought some hazards as well, such as noise and air pollution, and highway fatalities. It is reported that automobile accidents rank among the leading causes of death and injury throughout the world. Fortunately modern innovators are reinventing the automobile. New propulsion systems, fuels, designs, and means of manufacturing cars have all developed rapidly in the past decade. For example, by using the satellite-aided global positioning system (GPS), a computer in the automobile can locate the vehicle's precise position, and with the application of sensors, smart cars can eliminate most car accidents.

Unit1 1, There has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up! you are beginning to be anxious because there has been no progress of the war in such a long quiet period… 2,we must "...meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same." We are sure to experience both Triumph and Disaster and we must treat them as the same thing taking different appearances because they are essentially interchangeable. 3,never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense Never give in unless we are convinced that it is honorable and sensible for us to do so. 4,Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. Britain, in other nations’ eyes, was completely wiped out/conquered. 5,we have only to persevere to conquer. … we have no choice but to hold on until victory comes. Unit2 1, The phrase "personal space" has a quaint, seventies ring to it The phrase “personal space” sounds old-fashioned and reminds one of the seventies…2, T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, much less). … I have suspected that maybe the cause (of the space invasion) is the season: summer may either make people want to be closer to each other or more likely, to keep a distance between each other. 3, The logistics of it vary according to geography people in different regions are given different size of personal space. 4, individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant for foursomes. …individuals, as usual, occupy the booths and seats which are desi gned for four people. 5,In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly's wings in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space. Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions, which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space. Unit3 1,Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is the communications modal equivalent of international waters As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet, communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through the international waterways. 2,But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may be responsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people form each other and fragments society further as a result

Twelve years at school and three years at uni versity, teachers banging on about opport un ities in the big wide world bey ond our sheltered life as stude nts, and what do I find? 依我看，现实生活与人们想象的不一样。我们上了12年的中、小学，又上了3年的大学， 这期间老师们一直在没完没了地谈论在安宁的学生生活之外那个广阔天地里的各种机会，可 我遇到的又是什么呢？ Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, whe n will they grow up?), but mostly with mon ey. It's just so expe nsive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wan ts to deduct in come tax, the bank man ager wants repayments on my student loan, the Iandlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, ask ing if rm in terested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60. 无论我怎么想保持心情愉快，麻烦事总是接踵而来：有时是跟人争吵(尤其是跟男孩，天哪！他们什么 时候才能长大？)，但通常是为钱发愁。这个地方什么东西都很贵！人人 都想从我身上拿点钱去：国税局要收个人所得税，银行经理要我偿清学生贷款，房东催我 交房租、燃气费、水费、电费，手机账单也不断地寄来。所有这些还没算上吃饭的钱。更 可气的是，不知从哪里冒出一个自作聪明的家伙冷不丁地给我打电话，问我要不要买养老金。 照这样下去，我连今年都活不过去了，更别提活到60岁领养老金了。 汉译英 我认为，选修第二专业并不适合每一位本科生。我大学本科主修英语专业，大一时就开始辅修经济学了。无疑，我是班里最用功的学生。我竭尽全力想同时达到两个不同专业的 要求，但还是有不及格的时候。因为经济学需要良好的数学基础，我不得不花大量时间钻 研数学，因而忽略了英语学习。 If you ask me, tak ing a sec ond major isn't good for every un dergraduate.

This was the first time I did not pass a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my con fide nee. Although I was n ot a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up econo mics for fear that I would fail in both subjects. Now that I had only one subject to attend to,everything seemed to be on the right track again. Uint2 In dubitably the vast majority of books overlap one ano ther. Few in deed are those which give the impressi on of orig in ality, either in style or in content. Rare are the unique books -less tha n 50, perhaps, out of the whole storehouse of literature .In one of his recent auto-biographical no vels, Blaise Cendrars points out that R my de GSurmont, because of his knowledge and awareness of this repetitive quality in books, was able to select and read all that is worthwhile in the entire realm of literature.Cendrars himself —who would suspect it? —is a prodigious reader.
