Unit 1 Communication Problems

In-Class Reading Speaking Different Languages

说不同的语言

1 当火星人和金星人最初在一起时，也遇到了我们目前存在的许多人际关系问题。他们之所以能够解决这些问题，是因为他们认识到了相互之间的差异。他们成功的秘诀之一就是良好的沟通。

2 具有讽刺意味的是，他们沟通的成功却是因为他们说着不同的语言。遇到问题时，他们会去找翻译帮忙。他们每个人都清楚火星人和金星人语言不同，因此，一旦遇到冲突，他们并不去评论是非或争斗。相反，他们会拿出他们的常用语词典来查阅，以便更充分地理解对方。如果这样还不行的话，他们就会去找翻译帮忙。

3 你知道，火星语和金星语用的词相同，但是词的用法不同，所表达的含义也就不同。两种语言的措词尽管相似，但是内涵却不同，所侧重的情感也不一样，相互之间很容易误解。因此，当交流出现问题时，他们认为这只不过是一个误解而已，是预料中的。只要得到些许帮助，他们就必定能够彼此理解。他们体验到的是一种相互间的信任和包容，这是我们今天很少能体验到的。

4 即使在今天，我们依然需要翻译。男人和女人即便用词相同，他们所表达的含义也很少一样。例如，当女人说：“我觉得你从不听我说话”时，她希望对方不要从字面上理解“从不”这个词。使用“从不”这个词只不过是用来表达她此时此刻感到非常失望而已，不要把它当作事实性信息去理解。

5 为了充分表达她们的感受，女人们往往会把事实夸大一点以引起注意，并使用各种最高级、隐喻以及笼统的概括。男人可能会错误地从字面上来理解这些用语。他们误解了女人想要表达的意思，便常常以不赞同的态度来回应她们。下面列有十种容易被误解的抱怨，同时也列出了男人如何回应，表示不赞同。容易被误解的十种抱怨女人这样说：男人这样回应：“我们从来不出去。”“不对啊，我们上周还出去过呢。”

“所有人都无视我的存在。”“我敢肯定有人关注你。”

“我太累了，我什么也干不了了。”“要是你不喜欢自己的工作，那就辞职吧。”

“我想忘掉一切。”“我觉得没有什么可忘掉的。”

“家里总是乱七八糟。”“并不总是这么乱的。”

“再也没人听我说话了。”“我不正在听你说嘛。”

“什么都不对劲儿。”“你是说这都是我的错？”

“你不再爱我了。”“我当然爱你，要不我干吗还在这儿。”

“我们老是匆匆忙忙。”“没有啊，周五我们就很轻松。”

“我需要更多的浪漫。”“你是说我不够浪漫？”

6 可以看出，习惯把语言用来传达事实和信息的男人们，从“字面”上去理解女人的话是多么容易产生误解。同时可以看出，男人的回答又是怎样引起争吵的。含糊的、缺乏爱心的沟通是男女之间的最大问题。女人们在交往中的第一大抱怨就是“我觉得没人听我说话。”

7 即使这种抱怨也会被误解。

8 男人从字面上去理解“我觉得没人听我说话”，这使他对该抱怨不当一回事。他认为只要能重复出她所说的话就表明他在听她说话了。对于女人所说的“我觉得没人听我说话”的正确理解是：“我觉得好像你没有完全理解我真正想说的话，或者你不关心我的感受。对于我

想说的话，你能不能表示出你是感兴趣的呢？”

9 如果男人能真正理解她的抱怨，那么他就会少些争辩，就能更积极地做出回应。当男人和女人到了快要争吵的地步时，他们往往是误解了对方的意思。这时候，重新思考和解释自己所听到的话是很重要的。

After-Class Reading

误会

1 他头发凌乱，衣衫肮脏，口袋里仅有35美分。在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他跳上一辆巴士，直奔厕所而去。他以为躲进厕所就能免费乘车去纽约了，但坐在巴士后面的一位女乘客发现了他。女乘客拍了拍她前排乘客的肩膀，说道：“厕所里有个流浪汉，告诉司机。”该乘客又拍了拍他前面的人说：“告诉司机，厕所里有个流浪汉。”

2 人们一个接着一个地将这条信息传到了巴士的前面，不过在中途某个环节，意思走了样。当传到司机那里时，已不是“厕所里有个流浪汉（bum）”，而是“厕所里有颗炸弹（bomb）”。司机急忙把车开到高速公路边停下来，用无线电报了警。警察赶到后，要求乘客们下车并远离现场。然后，他们关闭了高速公路。这样马上就造成了长达15英里的交通堵塞。在一条警犬的帮助下，警察将汽车搜查了两个小时。当然，他们没有找到炸弹。

3 同样，两个发音相似的英语单词也给一位想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚奥克兰市(Oakland)的乘客带来了麻烦。他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。他以为听到自己航班的登机广播了，于是走向登机门，出示了机票，登上了飞机。起飞20分钟后，这位先生开始担心了。奥克兰位于洛杉矶的北面，可飞机似乎在向西飞行，他朝舷窗外一看，看到的却是一片汪洋大海。“这趟航班是飞往奥克兰(Oakland)的吗？”他向乘务员询问。乘务员倒吸了一口凉气，答道：“不，我们正飞往奥克兰(Auckland)，新西兰的奥克兰(Auckland)。”

4 由于英语中许多词发音相近，误会对讲英语的人来说已是司空见惯了，但这种误会并不是每次都导致高速公路关闭或旅客错飞到别的大陆这样的后果。大多数误会都没这么严重。每天，讲英语的人之间都会问诸如“你是说70还是17 ？”，“你是说能来还是不能来？”之类的问题。对把英语作为第二语言的人来说，近音词特别容易混淆。

5 一天早晨，当一位定居美国的朝鲜妇女到办公室时，她的老板问她：“你有没有收到过一只盘子？”“没有……”她一边回答，一边纳闷老板究竟是什么意思。她是在办公室工作的，老板为什么会问起盘子的事？整整一天，她始终琢磨不透这个奇怪的问题，但她又不好意思去问老板。下午五点，当她正准备下班回家时，老板对她说：“明天请准时上班，今天早上你迟到了15分钟”。她回答说：“对不起，我的车发动不起来，再则，……”，她突然停住，笑了起来。这会儿她明白了，老板不是问她“是否收到过一只盘子”，而是问她“是否起晚了”。

6 不只是英语有近音词，其他语言中也有会引起误会的词，特别是对外国人来说。

7 奥克兰(Auckland)听成了奥克兰(Oakland)。“起晚了(up late)”变成了“一只盘子(a plate)”。当近音词造成误会时，也许最好的做法是一笑了之并从中吸取教训。当然有时候很难做到一笑了之。那位要去加利福尼亚的奥克兰却去了新西兰奥克兰的旅客不会有笑的雅兴。然而，那样一场误会最终结果也不错，航空公司为他免费提供了在新西兰的食宿和返回加利福尼亚的机票。“不错”，这位客人后来说道，“我一直想看看新西兰。”

4 B (Sincerely)

STEP TWO

Sample

Picture 1

It is matched with Line C, because it can be seen from the picture that the man is splashing some dirty rainwater onto the lady?s dress.

Line C is sincere because the man in the picture is making an apology to the lady.

W: Oh, My goodness! What have you done to my new dress?

M: Ah, I?m awfully sorry. I didn?t mean to make such a beautiful lady angry. I should have been more careful!

W: Angry? No, I?m not angry. I can just put it in the washing machine when I get home.

Picture 2

It is matched with Line A, because the moon is in the sky and the man pointing at his watch tells us it is very late at night.

Line A is sarcastic, for the man in the picture is obviously angry with the lady.

W: I?m back, honey.

M: Er, finally!

W: You seem so worried. Why?

M: Why should I be worried about you? It?s already past midnight.

W: Don?t worry. I won?t get lost so easily. I?m not an unsophisticated young girl.

Picture 3

It is matched with Line D, for the boy pushing the bike is just back from a ride.

Line D is sincere, because from their dialog we can see they are good friends and the boy must have had the owner?s permission to use the bike.

Boy A: Here?s your bike. It?s so kind of you to loa n me your new bike.

Boy B: You?re welcome. You can use it whenever you want. Did you find it easy to ride?

Boy A: Not really. Maybe I need some more practice.

Picture 4

It is matched with Line B, because it can be seen from the picture that the lady is addressing an office boy who has hurt his wrist.

Line B is sincerely said, for the boy still comes to work even with an injured hand.

W: You?re late to work. You had a doctor?s appointment, didn?t you?

M: I?m sorry for being late. But how did you know that?

Communication Problems

W: I guess it?s the doctor who bandaged up your hand. Are you all right?

M: Today?s my unlucky day! I had my hand hurt and my cell phone broken in a traffic accident. Teaching tips

In order to be sarcastic, Americans adjust their vocal tone by speaking flat, lengthening their vowel sounds and perhaps creating a facial expression.

?Tone of voice: When communicating, the way the words are spoken may be more important than what is actually being said. The tone of voice can indicate whether a speaker is sincere or sarcastic, casual or impassioned, serious or humorous, and confident or uncertain. For instance, sarcasm occurs when the speaker pitches a stressed syllable lower than the other words in the sentence. For example, the pitch of t he word “great” in sentence “Great weather,huh?” changes depending on whether you?re being sincere or sarcastic.

?Volume and speed of voice: A loud voice or speaking quickly may be a sign of excitability or urgency. Slow or soft speech may indicate a relaxed attitude or uncertainty. To put emphasis on what is being said, speakers may also effectively slow their speech or pause, and they may raise or lower their voices.

?Facial expressions: Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions can be used to express our feelings. For example, both eyebrows lifted can mean surprise or excitement, whereas a single lifted eyebrow may indicate sarcasm or disbelief.

Teaching tips

Activity: English-Chinese Telephone Chains

Duration: About 15 minutes

Aim: Practice listening, pronunciation, and translation

Introduction: This activity not only entails listening, pronunciation and translation skills, but also enables students to be aware of misunderstandings in daily communication, such as message delivering.

Preparation: In this activity, the 8-10 students of each group should be seated in a line or circle for the message to pass from one to another without being heard by others in the group. And the message can be chosen either by the teacher (or made up by the first student in each group). Remember that the rest of the group should have no idea about the message in advance. Procedure: Make sure that students have a clear understanding of the goal and rules. The first student of each group will get an English message from the teacher, translate it into Chinese and whisper the Chinese version to the second student. The second student is supposed to translate it back into English and whisper it to the third student. This continues down the line until the message gets to the last student. Each stu dent can only say “Can you please repeat that?” one time. When the message reaches the end of the chain, the student must speak out loud. In a big group you can send the message two ways and find out which team comes closest to the original message. Oftentimes the message will be completely different when it reaches the end. Try to find out where the chain broke!

The point of this activity is not winning; rather, it is to see if the last student can say the message correctly. The interesting thing about this activity is that usually the last student never says the

message correctly. It is also fun to hear the message all scrambled up, which naturally leads the students into cases of misunderstanding in the After-Class Reading passage.

Depending on students? proficiency in English, the difficulty of this activity can be adjusted. If the teacher aims to favor the demands of students with a relatively low level of English, it is advisable to make slight alterations as follows. The class will be divided into groups of 8-10 students.

The first student of each group will be given a message by the teacher. The message should be whispered from one person to the next. The last person should repeat the message aloud. The group that gets the message through with the fewest changes wins.

3. Enjoying a Joke

Sample

In the joke, the problem is that the boy always took what the man said literally. In fact, when the man asked “Where does this road go?”, he expected that the boy would tell him that the road went or led to a cer tain place. But instead, the boy didn?t know what the man meant or he meant to tease the man and his answer seemed irrelevant. The same thing happened with the question “How far is it to the next town?”. Therefore, the reader may think the boy is stupid. B ut surprisingly, the boy?s last remark was very clever: “I know I don?t know much, and I may be a fool, but at least I?m not lost.” This made the man seem stupid.

STEP TWO

Sample

The problem was caused by differences in communication between masculine and feminine cultures. John understood Laura according to the rules of the masculine culture. Women give a lot of responses to show their interest and involvement in a conversation because relationships and using communication to build them are very important to them. The masculine culture, on the other hand, focuses more on outcomes than processes. Thus, men tend to use feedback to show agreement and disagreement. When John heard Laura?s “ums”, “uh huhs”, and “yeses”, he thought that she was agreeing with him. However, according to the feminine culture, she was only showing interest and being responsive to him. She was not signaling agreement.

STEP THREE

Sample

?When I was seven years old, one of my right front teeth became so loose that I asked my grandmother to pull it out. “Which tooth should be pulled out?”, my grandmother asked me. I just said: “right front”. As a result, she pulled out my left front tooth right away. Do you know why? Answer: Because “the left” on my side was “the right” on her side. I lost two front teeth, owing to such a minor misunderstanding in daily life. In fact, the mistake could have been avoided if

I had pointed to my right front tooth.

?One day, our foreign teacher was invited to eat dumplings with us. He seemed to enjoy his first experience of eating Chinese dumplings very mu ch. Then he asked me: “What?s the filling?”I answered: “Delicious!” Puzzled, he asked again: “I mean …What?s the filling??” In response, I tried to make the answer clearer with a complete sentence, “I?m feeling very well.” What?s the misunderstanding in my case?

Answer: Misunderstanding occurs when the listener fails to recognize the correct pronunciation of the words. In this case, I failed to identify the short vowel /i/ in “filling”, thus confusing “filling”

with “feeling”.

3.How to Avoid Misunderstandings

Sample

?Ask the other person to repeat what you have said, especially important facts and details such as where, when, who.

?Write clearly and exactly.

?If you are not sure about what the other person has said, do not hesitate to ask. Don?t pretend to know or understand. Don?t guess. Questions to avoid or clear up misunderstandings are welcome because nobody wants to be misunderstood.

?Do not make too many inferences. Sometimes trying to guess the implied meaning will cause trouble.

?Try to make out the intended meaning of what one has said, not just the literal meaning, especially when you are talking to a person of the opposite sex. Remember that men are usually factual while women may be more emotional.

?Pay attention to similar-sounding words or words in a conversation which are pronounced the same but spelled differently. When you say any word of the kind, make sure your listeners hear the word you actually said or meant. If you?re a listener, try to make sure what you heard is really what the speaker had said.

How to Avoid Misunderstandings

Misunderstandings are very common in our daily lives. Even though not all misunderstandings are very serious, they still cause problems and unnecessary troubles. Sometimes, they can even ruin good relationships or friendships, which will undoubtedly bring misery. There are many approaches to avoiding misunderstandings.

First, we should not use words that may have ambiguous meanings. We should express our ideas clearly and also pronounce words clearly, such as “seventeen” and “seventy”, because similar sounding words may well generate misunderstandings. Second, as listeners, when we are not quite clear about what we have heard, we should not hesitate to ask for clarification. We shouldn?t pretend to know or understand if we don?t. Third, we should not a lways take it literally when we hear a statement. For example, if a woman says “You never clean the house” to her husband, he had better not argue that the day before yesterday he cleaned the house. Instead, he should take it as a signal that either she is tired or she is bored with housework.

Of course, there are many other ways to avoid misunderstandings. If we can avoid misunderstandings, we can lead a better and happier life.

1 While some studies have suggested that frequent use of cell phones causes increased risk of brain and mouth cancers, others have found no such links. But since cell phones are relatively new and brain cancers grow slowly, many experts are now recommending taking steps to reduce exposure. by bruce stutz 一些研究显示，经常使用手机会增加得脑部和口腔癌症的几率。有的研究却没发现两者之间有什么联系。但是，手机算是个新兴事物，而脑癌发展也缓慢，许多专家还是建议减少使用手机。 2 Does your cell phone increase your risk of brain cancer? Does it affect your skin or your sperm viability? Is it safe for pregnant women or children? Should you keep it in your bag, on your belt, in your pants or shirt pocket? Should you use a hands-free headset? Are present cell phone safety standards strict enough? 手机会增加得脑癌的几率吗？会不会影响皮肤或者精子活性？使用手机对孕妇或孩子安全吗？应该把手机放在哪，包里、衣服口袋，还是挂在腰带上？打电话的时候要用耳机吗？现在的手机安全标准够不够严？ 3 You don’t know? You’re not alone. 你不知道？这很正常。 4 With some 4 to 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide and hundreds of studies seeking evidence of their health effects published in peer-reviewed journals over the last 10 years, there’s precious little scientific certainty over whether cell phones pose any danger to those using them. For nearly every study that reports an effect, another, just as carefully conducted, finds none. All of which leaves journalists, consumer advocates, regulatory agencies, politicians, industry spokespersons, and cell phone users able to choose and interpret the results they prefer, or ignore the ones they don’t. 如今，全世界共有40-50亿手机正在使用。过去十年里，成百上千的研究也在致力于寻找手机影响健康的证据，并在相关刊物上发表论文。但还没有确凿的证据能证明，使用手机损害健康。几乎没有研究发现手机对健康有不良影响。但这还是没影响到政治家、新闻记者、管理机构、产业发言人、消费者保护团体，还有消费者自己，选择他们喜好的结果去理解，忽略不喜欢的那些。 5 Do you, for instance, cite the studies that report adverse effects on sperm viability and motility, due to exposure to cell phone radiation or the studies that showed no —or mixed —results? 6 Do you cite the 2001 study that found increased incidence of uveal melanoma (a cancer of the eye) among frequent cell phone users, or the 2009 study by the same authors that, in reassessing their data, found no increase? 2001年的研究显示，常用手机的人患葡萄膜黑色素瘤（一种眼内癌症）几率会增大。2009年这些研究员又发表报告称，他们再分析当年的数据时，又不能确

Text 1. Do we need extra vitamins? Many people believe that taking vitamin supplements is the best safeguard（保护、保卫）against the dangers of an incomplete diet, but this should be ①a last resort (最后手段)rather than a way out of a problem. Even if there is a genuine（真实的，真正的；诚恳的）need for extra vitamins, then sooner or later the question arises（出现；发生；站立）"which ones do I need, how much of them, and how often?"

Why We're Fat 1 So why is obesity happening? The obvious, clichéd-but-true answer is that we eat too much high-calorie food and don't burn it off with enough exercise. If only we had more willpower, the problem would go away. But it isn't that easy. 为什么会有肥胖症？一个明显、老生常谈但又真实的答案就是我们吃太多高热量食物并且没有进行足够的运动消耗它。要是我们的意志力更强大，这个问题便迎刃而解了。但是，问题并不是那么简单。 2 When warned about the dangers of overeating, we get briefly spooked and try to do better. Then we're offered a plateful of pancakes smothered in maple syrup, our appetite overpowers our reason, and before we know it, we're at it again. Just why is appetite such a powerful driver of behavior, and, more important, how can we tame it? 当我们被警告说吃得太多的时候，一时总会被吓倒并努力做好一些。然后一碟涂满槭糖浆的煎饼摆在面前，我们的食欲战胜了我们的理智，等到我们意识到它的时候，我们又重蹈覆辙了。到底为什么食欲具有如此强大的推动力？更重要的是，我们怎么才能够控制它？ 3 Within the past few years, science has linked our ravenous appetites to genes and hormones. Among the hormones that fuel these urges are ghrelin and leptin, known as the "hunger hormones." Ghrelin is produced mostly by cells in the stomach lining. Its job is to make you feel hungry by affecting the hypothalamus, which governs metabolism. Ghrelin levels rise in dieters who lose weight and then try to keep it off. It's almost as if their bodies are trying to regain the lost fat. This is one reason why it's hard to lose weight and maintain the loss. 近几年来，科学将我们迫不及待要吃的食欲跟基因和激素联系起来。激起这些强烈的欲望的激素有胃促生长素和消瘦素，也被称作“饥饿激素”。胃促生长素主要由胃保护层的细胞产生。它的职责是影响控制新陈代谢的下丘脑，让你感到饥饿。当节食者减肥并且努力维持减肥效果，他的胃促生长素水平就会升高。就像他们的身体要试图恢复失去的脂肪。这是为什么很难减肥并维持减肥效果的原因之一。 4 Leptin turns your appetite off and is made by fat cells. Low leptin levels increase your appetite and signal your body to store more fat. High leptin levels relay the opposite signal. Many obese people have developed a resistance to the appetite-suppressing effects of leptin and never feel satisfied, no matter how much they eat. Basically, your body uses these hormones to help you stay at your weight and keep you from losing fat —which is another reason why dieting can be so difficult. 消瘦素消除你的食欲，它来自脂肪细胞。低消瘦素水平增加你的食欲并通知你的身体储存更多的脂肪。高消瘦素水平传递相反的信号。很多肥胖的人已经形成了一种对消瘦素抑制食欲效应的抵抗，不管他们吃多少也从不感到满足。从根本上说，你的身体利用这些激素帮助你保持现在的体重，不让你的脂肪流走——这是节食如此之难的另外一个原因。

2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题(2)

凯程考研集训营，为学生引路，为学员服务！ 第 1 页 共 1 页 2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题（2） There is no question that science-fiction writers have become more ambitious, stylistically and thematically, in recent years. (1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关，还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁，西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍，而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚，毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下，他报考了哥伦比亚大学，所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校，“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候，他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密，接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点：后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择，等。

必修二 Unit1 IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM寻找琥珀厅Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make. 弗雷德里克?威廉?我,普鲁士国王,从未想像过这恩赐与俄罗斯人会令人惊喜的历史。这个礼物,琥珀屋的,赐给这个名字,因为好几吨的琥珀被用来制造它。琥珀被选有一个美丽的黄棕色的颜色就像蜂蜜。房间的设计是别致的流行的日子。这也是一种珍惜用金子来装饰和珠宝,将国家的最好的艺术家们大约10年了。 In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. 事实上,这个房间没有是作为礼物送人的。它是设计出用于弗雷德里克的宫殿。然而,普鲁士的下一任国王弗雷德里克威廉?我、就是琥珀属于,决定不去保持它。在1716他给了彼得最重要的东西。作为回报,沙皇送给他一群他最好的士兵。所以琥珀房成了沙皇的一部分在圣彼得堡冬宫。大约四米长,房间作为一个小接待大厅为重要的游客。 Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing. 后来,凯瑟琳二世琥珀屋的搬到一座宫殿外面圣彼得堡她在她的夏天。她告

核电与核辐射 1986 年4 月26 日，切尔诺贝利核电站的一个反应堆发生爆炸，将相当于400 颗广岛原子弹的放射性尘降物散布到整个北半球。在此之前，科学家对辐射对植物和野生动物的影响 几乎一无所知。这场灾难创造了一个活生生的实验室，尤其是在这个被称为禁区的1100 平方英里的区域。 1994 年，德州理工大学生物学教授罗纳德·切瑟和罗伯特·贝克是首批获准完全进入该区域的美国科学家之一。“我们抓了一群田鼠，它们看起来和野草一样健康。我们对此非 常着迷。”贝克回忆说。当Baker 和Chesser 对田鼠的DNA 进行测序时，他们没有发现 异常的突变率。他们还注意到狼、猞猁和其他曾经稀有的物种在这片区域游荡，仿佛这里 是原子野生动物保护区。2003 年由一组联合国机构建立的切尔诺贝利论坛发表了声明一份关于灾难20 周年的报告证实了这一观点，称“环境条件对该地区的生物群落产生了积极 影响”，将其转变为“一个独特的生物多样性保护区”。 五年前，贝克和切塞尔在这片区域搜寻田鼠。Mousseau 到切尔诺贝利去数鸟，发现了与之相矛盾的证据。穆萨乌是南卡罗莱纳大学的生物学教授，他的合作者安德斯·佩普·穆 勒现在是巴黎南方大学生态、系统学和进化实验室的研究主任。他们发现该地区家燕的数 量要少得多，而那些存活下来的家燕则遭受着寿命缩短、(雄性)生育能力下降、大脑变小、肿瘤、部分白化病(一种基因突变)以及白内障发病率更高的痛苦。在过去13 年发表的60 多篇论文中，Mousseau 和Moller 指出，暴露在低水平辐射下对该区域的整个生物圈产生 了负面影响，从微生物到哺乳动物，从昆虫到鸟类。 包括贝克在内的批评人士对穆萨和穆勒持批评态度。贝克在2006 年与切塞尔合著的《美国科学家》(American Scientist)文章中指出，该区域“实际上已成为一个保护区”，穆萨和穆勒的“令人难以置信的结论只得到了间接证据的支持”。 我们所知道的关于电离辐射对健康影响的几乎所有信息都来自于一项正在进行的对原子弹幸存者的研究，该研究被称为寿命研究，简称LSS。辐射暴露的安全标准基于LSS。然而，LSS 留下了关于低剂量辐射影响的大问题没有得到解答。大多数科学家都同意，没有所谓 的“安全”辐射剂量，无论剂量有多小。小剂量是我们最不了解的。LSS 并没有告诉我们多 少低于100 毫西弗(mSv)的剂量。例如，引起基因突变需要多少辐射，这些突变是可遗传 的吗?辐射诱发的疾病(如癌症)的机制和遗传生物标记物是什么? 三重危机2011年 3月福岛第一核电站创建另一个生活摩梭实验室和穆勒可以研究低 剂量的辐射,复制他们的切尔诺贝利核事故研究和允许他们“更高的信心,影响我们看到有关辐射,而不是其他因素,“摩梭说。福岛310平方英里的隔离区比切尔诺贝利小，但在其他方面 是一样的。这两个区域都包括被遗弃的农田、森林和城市地区，在这些地区，辐射水平在 短距离内变化数量级。而且几乎可以肯定，他们进入福岛的速度比科学家进入苏联控制的 切尔诺贝利的速度还要快。简而言之，福岛事件提供了一个解决争议的机会。 福岛核事故发生后的几个月里，穆萨乌和莫勒就开始在这座正在冒烟的核电站以西受污染的山林里清点鸟类数量，但他们无法进入这个区域，亲眼看看家燕的情况。最后，在2013 年6 月，穆萨乌是首批获准完全进入福岛禁区的科学家之一。 对辐射的敏感度在生物和同一物种的个体之间有很大的差异，这是重要的原因之一，不要从蝴蝶推断到家燕或从田鼠推断到人类。蝴蝶对辐射特别敏感，Mousseau 说。2012年8 月，在线期刊《科学报告》(Scientific Report)发表了一篇论文，研究福岛核泄漏对淡草蓝 蝶的影响。冲绳县琉球大学的生物学教授大木若二(Joji Otaki)透露，在这种不雅行为发生两个月后，在福岛附近采集的蝴蝶出现了翅膀、腿和眼睛畸形的情况。Mousseau 和Moller 对切尔诺贝利和福岛昆虫的调查显示，蝴蝶作为一个群体数量急剧下降。但御宅族

新视野大学英语(第三版)读写教程第二册课文翻译(全册)

新视野大学英语第三版第二册读写课文翻译 Unit 1 Text A 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。对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？” 3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4 没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。 5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。实际上，他们应该说They've just eaten。因此，批评学生不合乎情理。 7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
