唐闻生：第一次翻译时险些晕倒
作者：肖伟俐
来源：《人民文摘》2009年第10期
现在50岁以上的人,大概都忘不了唐闻生。她因一口纯正的英语,万里挑一给毛主席当英语翻译,常年伴随毛主席左右。她见证了上世纪70年代中国外交史上的重要时刻,也亲自感受到了伟人毛泽东的风采。毛主席逝世后,她淡出了公众的视野,可仍然在为中国的翻译事业、外交事业和统一大业做着默默的奉献,依然那样让人心生敬意。
3年读完北外5年的课程
唐闻生的父亲唐明照早年就读于清华大学,后赴美国加州大学深造。母亲张希先出身华侨
世家,曾是燕京大学“一二·九”爱国学生运动的先锋。他俩在异国结为伉俪。1943年春天,唐闻生出生。
朝鲜战争爆发后,根据周恩来总理的指示,唐明照挈妇携雏于1952年返回祖国,先后在外交部、中共中央对外联络部以及社会团体任职。
豆蔻年华的唐闻生轻松地拿到了北京外国语学院英语系的录取通知书。唐明照夫妇十分注重对女儿的教育,唐明照曾给女儿借来很多苏联出版的英文读物。当1962年唐闻生迈入“北外”校园时,她的英语水准在同龄人当中显得鹤立鸡群。从入学一开始,唐闻生便成了学校各种联欢晚会、Party出场率最高的主角。唐闻生不费吹灰之力地用3年时间就读完了5年的全部课
程。
早在上世纪60年代中期,周恩来总理就未雨绸缪,让跟随自己10余年的第五任英语译员冀朝铸多次到“北外”校园选人,他一眼就看中了活泼可爱的英语系高才生唐闻生。1965年4月,唐闻生被分配在教育司翻译处英文组。

英语第一次阅读(英汉对照)
你觉得人类已经对睡眠了解得很透彻了，但是仍然有很多人睡不好觉（所以我们需要睡眠十大指南）。一部分问题是，睡眠对我们的健康如此重要，但我们掌握的信息和对它的了解已经过时了。来，让我们把事实弄清楚。下面列举了你可能听说过的有关睡眠的十件事，这些都不是完全正确的。 You’d think the human race would have sleep down to a science by now, but many of us are still sleeping poorly (and so we need top 10 guides to getting better sleep). Part of the problem is we have outdated information and beliefs about this all-important health need. Let’s set the facts straight. Here are 10 things you might have been told about sleep but aren’t completely t rue. 10. 睡得越多越好 10. More Sleep Is Better for You 睡太多可能会导致睡眠过度。每个人需要的睡眠时间都不一样，且会随着年龄增长而变化。哈佛大学研究员发现，睡得过多（9个小时以上）和睡眠质量差有关。所以不要以睡得更久为目标——即便是在周末，而是要力图提升睡眠质量。 There could be such a thing as too much sleep. The amount of sleep we need varies by person and also changes as we age. Harvard researchers found that a lot of sleep (9 hours or more) is linked with poor sleep quality. So don’t aim for more sleep—even on the weekends. Aim for better sleep. 9. 酒精有助于入睡 9. Alcohol Helps You Sleep 人们过去常在睡前喝酒，大多数人都会在酒精作用下很快入睡，但是，酒精也会导致你在夜间醒来多次，破坏睡眠质量。考虑一下睡前喝点无酒精的啤酒吧。 Alcohol, the original nightcap, can help most people fall asleep. However, it also can cause you to wake up more during the night, wrecking your sleep quality. Consider drinking non-alcoholic beer before bed instead. 8. 如果半夜醒来，要躺在床上直到再次睡着 8. If You Wake Up in the Middle of the Night, Lie in Bed Until You Eventually Fall Back Asleep 半夜醒来最糟心了，但我们都会遇到。我们都希望能很快再次入睡，所以我们会躺在床上期待着分分钟能睡着。如果，过了15分钟后还没有睡着，大多数专家建议我们应该起床做一些不太刺激的体力活或脑力活。也不要看表几点了。 Waking up in the middle of the night is the pits, but it happens to all of us. We all hope to quickly fall back asleep, and so we tend to stay in bed hoping it’ll happen any minute now. If that doesn’t happen, though, within 15 minutes, most experts recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without overstimulating us. Try not to check the clock either. 7. 失眠患者入睡困难 7. Insomniacs Have Difficulty Falling Asleep 失眠是很复杂的睡眠障碍。难以入睡只是四大症状之一。根据美国国家睡眠基金会，其它症状是：醒得过早、醒来以后难以再次入睡、经常中途醒来、醒来之后疲惫无力。你可以采取一些措施减轻失眠和其它睡眠问题。但治疗长期失眠的最有效的方法不是药；认知行为治疗的效果也许会更持久一些。 Insomnia is a complex sleep disorder. Difficulty falling asleep is just one of its four symptoms. The others, according to the National Sleep Foundation are waking up early and not being able to fall back asleep, waking often, and waking up feeling unrefreshed. There are things you can do to alleviate insomnia and other sleep problems. The best treatment for the long-term usually isn’t

Long accused of wrecking small-town America and condemned for the stinginess of its pay, the company has lately come under fire for its meanness over employees’ health-care benefits.The charge is arguably unfair: the firm’s health cover age, while admittedly less extensive than the average for big companies, is on a par with other retailers’. But bad publicity, coupled with rising costs, has stirred the Bentonville giant to action. Wal-Mart is making changes that should shift the ground i n America’s health-care debate. One strategy is to slash the prices of many generic, or out-of-patent, prescription drugs. Wal-Mart recently announced that its Florida stores would sell a list of some 300 generic drugs at $4 for a month’s supply; other st ates will follow. That is above cost but far less than the prices charged by many pharmacy chains, which get profits from fat margins on generics. Wal-Mart’s critics dismiss the move as a publicity stunt. The list of drugs includes only 143 different medicines and excludes many popular generics. True, but short-sighted. Wal-Mart has transformed retailing by using its size to squeeze suppliers and passing the gains on to consumers. It could do the same with drugs. Target, another big retailer, has already announced that it will match the new pricing. A “Wal-Mart effect” in drugs will not solve America’s health-costs problem: generics account for only a small share of drug costs, which in turn make up only 10% of overall health spending.But it would help. (High risk, high reward (excerpt), The Economist, Oct 12th 2006)
第五章++完形填空和翻译第一次作业答案
完形填空和翻译第一次作业答案 2．考点解读 大学英语四级考试完形填空所测试的内容大致分为四类： 1）词汇辨析 词汇辨析是完形填空中最主要的考点。如果从测试的重点来划分，还可进一步分为词义辨析，语义辨析，和介词辨析等。词义辨析题的选项通常以同义词, 近义词, 反义词和形近词的形式出现。 例1：Children in low-income families and poor communities are less likely to take organized youth sports for granted because they often lack the resources needed to pay for participation ___, equipment, and transportation to practices and games and their communities do not have resources to build and maintian sports fields and facilities. (08.12) A) bill B) accounts C) fees D) fare 【答案】C 【解析】该题属于义近词辨析。Bill意为“账单”；account意为“账户”；fee意为“费用”, fare 主要指“门票﹑车票”。根据题意，这里应该指参加的费用。 2）固定搭配 该考点主要考查学生的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配知识。 例2：Sleep Smart records the distinct pattern of brain waves produced during each phase of sleep, via a headband equipped _____electrodes(电极) and a microprocessor.（06.6） A) by B) of C) with D) over 【答案】C 【解析】本题考查固定搭配equip sb./sth. with sth., 意为“配备、装配”。 3）语法结构 从目前的完形填空题来看，语法题的比重呈下降趋势，但它仍是一个重要的考点。常考的语法点有：情态动词﹑关系代词或副词﹑比较句﹑定语从句﹑虚拟语气﹑时态﹑一致等。 例3：For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. （05.12） A) who B)what C) which D) that 【答案】B 【解析】此题考查语法。What在此处引导名词性从句“what they would be”，该名词性从句一起充当介词at的宾语。 4) 逻辑衔接 该考点主要包括过渡词、连接手段、指代关系、肯定、否定等。文章的逻辑关系大致有列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、递进、补充、目的、条件等。 例4：But human language permits communication about anything, things like unicorn(独角兽) that have never existed. (06.12) A) only B) almost C) even D) just 【答案】C 【解析】根据上下文，空格处需要填入一个表示递进关系的连词，故选C。 3．解题技巧及步骤 3.1 解题技巧 1）利用排除法排除明显干扰项 在解题过程中，如果不能很有把握地直接选出某一道题的答案，可以先利用排除法将各
