如果怕死，就有点儿可怜又可鄙。

170. The best way to overcome it -- so at least it seems to me -- is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal,

克服怕死的最好办法-- 至少在我看来是这样-- 就是逐渐使自己的兴趣更加广泛，171. until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.

逐渐摆脱个人狭小的圈子，直到自我的围墙一点一点地倒塌下来，自己的生活慢慢地和整个宇宙的生活融合在一起。

172. An individual human existence should be like a river -- small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.

个人的存在应该像一条河流，开始很小，被紧紧地夹在两岸中间，接着热情奔放地冲过巨石，飞下瀑布。

173. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

177. When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money, repayment of which he may demand at any time, either in cash or by drawing a cheque in favour of another person.

任何人在银行开一个活期账户，就等于把钱借给了银行。这笔钱他可以随时提取，提取的方式可以是取现金，也可以是开一张以他人为收款人的支票。

178. Primarily, the banker-customer relationship is that of debtor and creditor -- who is which depending on whether the customer's account is in credit or is overdrawn.

银行与储户的关系主要是债务人和债权人的关系。究竟谁是债务人谁是债权人，要看储户是有结余还是透支。

他把自己签名的样本交给银行，对此有一条非常严格的规定：银行没有任何权利或理由把储户的钱让伪造储户的支票取走。

184. It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skilful one: the bank must recognize its customer's signature.

即使伪造得很巧妙，也不能付款，因为银行有责任辨认出其储户的签名。

185. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, adopted by banks, of printing the customer's name on his cheques.

因此，某些银行已采用把储户印在支票上的作法。这种做法对储户毫无风险。186. If this facilitates forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.

如果因这种作法出现了伪造的话，受损失的将不是储户，而是银行。

更多的工艺过程根本就不会取得专利权，而是作为秘方保存着。

222. This applies particularly to chemical industries, where chance discoveries play a much larger part than they do in physical and mechanical industries.

在这化学工业方面尤为突出。同物理和机械工业相比，化学工业中偶然发现的机会要多得多。

223. Sometimes the secrecy goes to such an extent that the whole nature of the research cannot be mentioned.

有时，保密竟达到了这样的程度，即连研究工作的整个性质都不准提及。

裕兴新概念英语第三册笔记第三课课文讲解 老猴子咬菜根学习交流 Lesson 3 An unknown goddess 无名女神 Some time ago, and interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea. An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini. The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Houses -- often three storeys high -- were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets. The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century . until Roman times. In the most sacred room of temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century . It's missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century . This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity. 1.

新概念英语第一册课文详解及英语语法2016

新概念第一册1-2课文详解及英语语法 课文详注Further notes on the text 1．Excuse me 对不起。 这是常用于表示道歉的客套话，相当于汉语中的“劳驾”、“对不起”。当我们要引起别人的注意、要打搅别人或打断别人的话时，通常都可使用这一表达方式。在课文中，男士为了吸引女士的注意而使用了这句客套话。它也可用在下列场合：向陌生人问路，借用他人的电话，从别人身边挤过，在宴席或会议中途要离开一会儿等等。 2．Yes？什么事？ 课文中的Yes？应用升调朗读，意为：“什么事？”Yes？以升调表示某种不肯定或询问之意，也含有请对方说下去的意思。 3．Pardon？对不起，请再说一遍。 当我们没听清或没理解对方的话并希望对方能重复一遍时，就可以使用这一表达方式。较为正式的说法是： I beg your pardon. I beg your pardon? Pardon me. 它们在汉语中的意思相当于“对不起，请再说一遍”或者“对不起，请再说一遍好吗？” 4．Thank you very much．非常感谢！ 这是一句表示感谢的用语，意为“非常感谢（你）”。请看下列类似的表达式，并注意其语气上的差异： Thank you. 谢谢（你）。Thanks! 谢谢！ 5．数字1～10的英文写法 1—one 2—two 3—three 4—four 5—five 6—six 7—seven 8—eight 9—nine 10—ten 语法Grammar in use 一般疑问句 一般疑问句根据其结构又分为若干种。通过主谓倒装可将带有be的陈述句变为一般疑问句。即将be的适当形式移到主语之前，如：陈述句：This is your watch. 这是你的手表。 疑问句：Is this your watch? 这是你的手表吗？ （可参见Lessons 15～16语法部分有关be的一般现在时形式的说明。） 词汇学习Word study 1．coat n. 上衣，外套：Is this your coat? 这是你的外套吗？ coat and skirt<英>（上衣、裙子匹配的）西式女套装 2．dress n. （1）连衣裙；套裙：Is this your dress? 这是你的连衣裙吗？ （2）服装；衣服：casual dress 便服；evening dress 晚礼服 新概念第一册3-4课文详解及英语语法 课文详注Further notes on the text 1．My coat and my umbrella please. 请把我的大衣和伞拿给我。 这是一个省略形式的祈使句，完整的句子应为： Give me my coat and my umbrella, please. 口语中，在语境明确的情况下通常可省略动词和间接宾语，如： (Show me your) Ticket, please. 请出示你的票。 (Show me your)Passport, please. 请出示您的护照。 2．Here's your umbrella and your coat. 这是您的伞和大衣。 Here's 是Here is的缩略形式。全句原为：Here is your umbrella and your coat．缩略形式和非缩略形式在英语的书面用语和口语中均有，但非缩略形式常用于比较正式的场合。Here's…是一种习惯用法，句中采用了倒装句式，即系动词提到了主语之前。又如Here is my ticket 这句话用正常的语序时为My ticket is here。 3．Sorry = I'm sorry。 这是口语中的缩略形式，通常在社交场合中用于表示对他人的歉意或某种程度的遗憾。 Sorry 和Excuse me 虽在汉语中都可作“对不起”讲，但sorry 常用于对自己所犯过失表示道歉，而Excuse me 则多为表示轻微歉意的客套语。 4．Sir，先生。 这是英语中对不相识的男子、年长者或上级的尊称。例如：在服务行业中，服务员对男顾客的称呼通常为sir： What can I do for you, sir? 先生，您要买什么？ Thank you, sir. 谢谢您，先生。 sir 通常用于正式信函开头的称呼中： Dear sir 亲爱的先生 Dear sirs 亲爱的先生们／诸位先生们 Sir可用于有爵士称号者的名字或姓名之前（但不用于姓氏之前）： Sir Winston Churchill 温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士 Sir William Brown 威廉·布朗爵士 5．数字11～15的英文写法 11—eleven 12—twelve 13—thirteen 14—fourteen 15—fifteen 语法Grammar in use 否定句 否定陈述句与肯定陈述句相反，它表示“否定”，并且含有一个如not 之类的否定词。一个内含be的否定形式的陈述句，应在其后加not，以构成否定句： 肯定句： This is my umbrella. 这是我的伞。 否定句： This is not my umbrella. 这不是我的伞。 请再看课文中的这两句话： 针对一般疑问句的否定的简略答语是No，it's not／it isn't。此处省略和非省略形式的关系为：is not =isn't；it is = it's。全句应为： No, it is not my umbrella. 不，它不是我的伞。 词汇学习Word study 1．suit n.（一套）衣服： Is this your suit? 这是你的衣服吗？ a man's suit 一套男装；a woman's suit 一套女装 2．please：interjection （表示有礼貌地请求对方）请；烦劳： My coat and my umbrella please. 请把我的大衣和伞拿给我。 Please come in. 请进。

新概念英语第二册课文 1-96课中英对照版 Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话 Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat? The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it? A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily? ‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'. 上星期我去看戏。我的座位很好，戏很有意思，但我却无法欣赏。一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后，大声地说着话。我非常生气，因为我听不见演员在说什么。我回过头去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不见了！”“不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话！” Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐？ It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy.' I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said. 'What are you doing?' she asked. ‘I’m having breakfast,' I repeated. 'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'' 那是个星期天，而在星期天我是从来不早起的，有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天，我起得很晚。我望望窗外，外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气！”我想，“又下雨了。”正在这时，铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车，”她说，“我这就来看你。”“但我还在吃早饭，”我说。 “你在干什么？”她问道。 “我正在吃早饭，”我又说了一遍。 “天啊，”她说，“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经1点钟了！” Lesson 3 Please send me a card 请给我寄一明信片 Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 'Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card! 明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。去年夏天，我去了意大利。我参观了博物馆，还去了公园。一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语，之后还借给我一本书。我读了几行，但一个字也不懂。我每天都想着明信片的事。假期过得真快，可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一明信片。到了最后一天，我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床，买来了37明信片。我在房间里关了整整一天。然而竟连一明信片也没写成！ Lesson 4 An exciting trip 激动人心的旅行 I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.

新概念英语第三册(中英文对照)

Lesson1 A puma at large Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered （adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. 美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。 搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见“一只大猫”，离她仅5码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在20英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。有人抱怨说夜里听见“像猫一样的叫声”；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。 Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since. ' One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer. 'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise. ' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
