Unit 3时装潮流50年

1960 至2010 年间的时装史存在着两个不可忽略或不可低估的不变因素一是无处不在的牛仔裤二是女装裙摆的升降。牛仔裤是用粗斜纹布做的早在16 世纪末法国就有了这种布料。直到19 世纪中叶维·施特劳斯发现在加州淘金热中劳动的矿工很需要用这种耐用布料做成的牛仔裤他还用铆钉来加固裤子。直到1950 年代蓝色粗斜纹布做的牛仔裤一直只是流行的工装但是后来牛仔裤变成了青春、新思想、反叛及个性的标志。1950 年代末维·施特劳斯公司开始向欧亚出口蓝色牛仔裤。年轻人趋之若鹜视其为美国活力四射的、随意的生活方式的象征。裙摆在这一时期有着特殊的意义。人们时常会注意到女人的裙摆和经济之间存在一种颇为精确的关联性且鲜有例外。股市升时裙摆也跟着上升股市跌时裙摆就跟着下降。在经济繁荣和萧条时期女性到底为什么要多暴露或少暴露双腿至今仍然是个迷。但总的趋势是必定是这样的每当经济前景不明朗时男人和女人都倾向于穿比较保守的衣服。 1960 年代时装史上一个最重要的发展就是英国时装设计师玛丽·匡特发明的超短裙。由于匡特在“摇摆伦敦”的中心地带工作超短裙很快就风行全球。当法国杰出的时装设计师库雷热把超短裙变成一件高级时装时超短裙得到了人们更多的尊敬。但是如果只有长筒袜而没有发明裤袜的话超短裙是不可能在全球流行的因为裙摆的上升会让人看见长筒袜的袜口。 60 年代中、70 年代初的嬉皮士运动影响了牛仔裤的设计牛仔裤的裤腿发展成了扩的“喇叭形”。到了70 年代中期随着经济的恶化裙摆降低到了小腿中部和脚踝部而牛仔裤则不再是清一色的蓝色了。牛仔裤在朋克时

期依然很时髦裤腿通常有撕裂的口子并配有铁链及打着装饰钉的皮带。这种样式的牛仔裤延续了几年但流行的围越来越小仅限于城区的少数年轻人群体对其他年龄段的群体影响不大。作为对朋克无政府主义的一种抗拒新浪漫派是一个主要出现在英国夜总会的时装潮流。这种时装大胆创新、魅力十足衬衫以皱褶和奢侈为特征牛仔裤是绝对不可以接受的。 80 年代中期兴起了几种风格各异的服装。“权威装”以雅致的套装为特色带肩垫的上衣配及膝短裙受到新近得势的女士的欢迎。毫不奇怪当经济不稳定的时候人们不想在穿着上太冒险。男士则流行以电视剧“迈阿密风云”命名的“迈阿密风云”式样的时装名牌短外套配时髦的T 恤留着有型的短子——长三、四天的样子。和往常一样粗斜纹布仍然受到年轻人的欢迎。尤其是重金属音乐迷爱穿漂白的、撕开裂口的牛仔裤及牛仔衫。在1987 年全球股市崩盘之前裙摆也开始逐渐地上升起来。美国在80 年代末兴起了一种较为保守的风格称为“学院风”。男士穿拉尔夫·劳伦和布鲁克斯兄弟品牌的经典服装衣领带纽扣的衬衫、斜纹棉布裤、平底便鞋脖子上随意系着一件毛衣。他们也穿牛仔裤但是必须是新的或者是干净、熨平的牛仔裤完全不是维·施特劳斯最初所设想的那种牛仔裤。 90 年代随着世界经济的再次复苏年轻人的时装也变得更加大胆起来了。靴子、匡威或耐克运动鞋都很流行但是流行颜色变成了橄榄绿和米灰色。头发要么留得很长要么是染成蓝色、绿色或红色的短刺头。帽衫、棒球帽及松垮型牛仔裤在街上随处可见。松垮型牛仔裤往往穿得很低松松垮__垮地挂在臀部上。 2000 年1 月纽约的科技股市崩盘。和往

常一样裙摆也下降了正如一位评论家所说的“循规蹈矩、一本正经的式样开始流行了裙摆必须过膝。”但仅仅过了一年股市开始复苏超短迷你裙又回来了裙摆比多年以来的都要高。这段时间除非在工作时人们通常不穿正式的服装。名牌牛仔裤享有很高的知名度用传统的粗斜纹布制作可能还加了点莱卡。由著名服装品牌如阿玛尼、戈·伯斯士及莫斯奇诺剪裁、销售。这些品牌公司以前都只做最优雅的时装。紧身牛仔裤在英国及欧洲大部分地区很流行。裙子的长度不太确定围从超短到“理性”——即及膝或刚刚过膝。有时候所谓的裙摆标志甚至能够在事情发生之前早早地预告股票牛市和熊市的更替。2007 年9月的纽约时装展展示了2008 年春季流行式样潮流转向了长衣、长裙裙摆降至小腿中线甚至到了脚踝。有人觉得这表明裙摆标志靠不住了要不就是服装设计师已经丧失了对时装的主宰权。2008年9 月在伦敦和纽约时装展中裙摆

继续下降。果然2008 年秋天金融危机袭击美欧波及全球股指急剧下跌。这时裙摆不再被动地追随股市升跌而是引领潮流预示未来的经济趋势了。在整个这段时期时装的风格多种多样它们的诞生往往起因于人们希望归属于某种亚文化、与之认同的愿望。但是这个时期不变因素是粗斜纹布和裙摆。影响力最大的当属19 世纪加利福尼亚州的一个服装制造商以及1960 年代工作在“摇摆伦敦”的一位年轻的时装设计师

2 她知道中国学生总是不愿意表达自己的情感和想法，这不仅仅因为他们对自己的英语口语不够自信，还因为他们相信稳重是一种美德。因此她特意设计了一些简单的话题，鼓励学生参与讨论，让他们增强自信心，拉近彼此间的距离。( shy away; engage sb in)

She knew that Chinese students had a way of shying away from revealing their feelings or opinions, due not merely to their lack of confidence in spoken English, but to their belief in the virtue of modesty. So she specially conceived a couple of simple topics and encouraged them in the discussion, in order that they might become more confident and closer with each other.

Unit4

People are quite puzzled about the fact that he has stuck with the same job for 30 years when most people of his age have changed at least four or five jobs.

2 时刻牢记不要因为你的孩子成绩不好而羞辱他们，因为这种被羞辱的痛苦记忆可能会困扰孩子很长时间，使他们从小就厌学，并且会妨碍他们形成积极的生活态度。只有当父母发现孩子身上的优点，并且不断鼓励他们，孩子的发展才能得以长久。(turn off from; humiliate; haunt; identify)

Keep remembering that do not humiliate your child because they don’t gain good grades, as their memory of the humiliation will haunt them for a long time, turn them off from learning at an early age and prevent them from gaining positive attitudes towards life.

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. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. 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. Unit 2 汽车在二十世纪改变了世界，尤其是在美国和其他工业国家。汽车确实对我们大有用处，但也带来了一些危害，比如声音污染、空气污染以及公路死亡事故。据报导汽车事故被列为全世界导致死伤的主要原因之一。可庆幸的是，现代发明家们正在重新发明汽车。新的推进系统（PROPULSION SYSTEM）、燃料、设计以及制造汽车的手段在过去的十年中得到迅速发展。例如，通过使用卫星辅助的全球定位系统，汽车里的计算机能给汽车精确定位；随着遥感器的应用，智能汽车能排除不少汽车事故。 Automobiles changed the world during the 20th century, particularly in the United States and other industrialized nations. 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.

大学体验英语综合教程4(第三版)课文翻译及课后答案

Unit 1 无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？ 在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具总动员》的电影。我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明他不可能离开太长时间。影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。 新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。 职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。与此同时，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。 这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。 我们用来讨论父亲角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子，同样也适应于男子。我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。 更让人感到侮辱的是最近媒体的这种倾向，即把家庭主妇看成是一种“地位的象征” ——就像一辆名贵的汽车，只有据说少数男人才享受得起这种奢侈与豪华。这暗示家里有家庭主妇的男人比那些妻子在外工作的男人日子过得更舒适，因为他们拥有全职管家这种“奢侈品”。然而，实际上作为家庭惟一挣钱者的男人要承受很多压力。当他们的那份工作是家庭收入的惟一来源的时候，失业，或者甚至只不过是受到失业的威胁，对他们来说显然构成更大的困难。同样，家庭惟一的工资收入者在想辞去不太满意的工作时，其灵活程度也要小一些，因为这种工作变换会使他们失去收入。此外，为了给家庭挣更多的钱，许多丈夫超时工作或兼做第二职业。对于这些男人来说，正是这份工作所支撑的家庭，使得他们值得付出努力。很多男人相信母亲呆在家里对小孩十分重要，这种信念使得他们乐意地担起家里惟一挣钱人的担子。 目前，研究者们普遍认为家庭中没有父亲会对小孩——因此对整个社会——带来严重的问题。然而，我们这个社会并没有把“普通”父亲作为正面角色为未来的父亲树立榜样，相反地，却常常持放弃态度，认为传统的父道从最好的方面说是已经过时，从最坏的方面讲就是危险的反动。这使得许多男人对他们作为父亲的角色的价值提出疑问。 作为一个社会，我们需要认识到对于孩子来说，父亲是与母亲同等重要的，不仅仅在经济支
