Learning a foreign language

学外语

Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.

学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。

My experience with learning a foreign language in junior middle school, when I took my first English class I had kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the question I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years. 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。

When I went to senior middle school ,I was eager to continue studying English ; however, my experience in senior middle school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all of the students, my teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. When we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted,”NO!no!no!”it didn’t take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English.到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语，然而高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞着，大喊道：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。

However, state didn’t last long. When I when to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! The situation was far from perfect, though. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So ,once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.

然而这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，他们没有哪个带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现，许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然情况与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。

That was the situation until a couple of years later when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, a phone line, and a modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned how to use the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.几年后我有机会参加了远程英语教学课程，情况才有所改善。它需要一台电脑、电话线和调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用５到７天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。

Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires a lot of time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花更多的时间，需要学习者专一、自制，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低限度的要求，并按时完成作业。

I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried out of frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn’t feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I need to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could “say”anything I wanted to in English. Although I was still making many mistakes and was continually learning new ways to say things, I had finally reaped the benefits of all of my hard work.我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我听到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时我想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。后来有一天我意识到我能够理解碰到的各种问题，更重要的是，我能用英语表达我想说的东西。尽管我还是常常出错，仍处于继续学习阶段，但我已尝到刻苦学习的甜头。

Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activties, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and from new, unforgettable friendships. Now that i speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when english is being spoken, i can participate and make friends. i am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但却是一种无比珍贵的经历。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且使我认识了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与比以前更多的人交流。我乐于与人交谈，新的语言使我能与以前不认识的人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。现在我已能够说外语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。

Deep concern

The radio clicked on. Rock music blasted forth. Like a shot, the music woke Sandy. She looked at the clock; it was 6:15 A.M. Sandy sang along with the words as she lay listening to her favorite radio station.收音机"嘟"地一声，摇滚乐就"哗啦"地响开了。音乐像枪声似的将桑迪吵醒。她看了一下钟，6点一刻。她躺在床上，听着她喜欢的电台广播，嘴里哼着歌词。“Sandy,” shouted her father. “sandy, turn that music off!”Steve finch burst into her room. “Why do you have to listen to such horrible stuff? It’s the same thing over and over.I’m not sure it is really music, though it does have rhythm.”"桑迪，" 她父亲叫嚷了起来，"桑迪，把音乐关了！" 史蒂夫·芬奇冲进她的卧室。"你为什么一定要听这么糟糕的音乐？一样的东西，听了一遍又一遍。虽然有节奏，可恐怕不是真正的音乐。哼，根本不是真正的音乐。这音乐怪透了，绝对糟糕透顶。"

I like that music, dad; it’s my favorite. Listen for a minute; I’m sure you’ll like it. Sandy reached for the radio to turn it up louder."我喜欢这音乐，爸爸。这是我喜欢的乐队，叫'绿浪'。您听一下吧，肯定您会喜欢的。它的含义丰富，很有感染力。您年轻时就没听过这样的音乐？" 桑迪伸手把音乐开得更响。

“No, no, don’t do that. I can’t stand it. Turn that radio sown so your mother and I can’t hear it. I’m sure that music is hurting your ears as well as your brain.”"别，别开那么响，我受不了。我那时听的音乐也有丰富的含义，可它的歌词明明白白，作者不用这么令人讨厌的歌词。把收音机关小点，这样我和你妈妈就听不到了。我敢肯定，那音乐既伤你的耳朵，也伤你的大脑。好了，请快点，把它关了。准备上学，不然就迟到了。"

Sandy walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Then she grabbed the soap and washed thoroughly, including her hair.桑迪走进浴室，打开淋浴喷头。开始水有点冷，不过这倒可以帮她清醒清醒。过了一会儿，水就越来越热。她想："淋浴的感觉就是好，我可以一个人在这里唱歌，没人打扰我。" 她抓起香皂，浑身上下洗个遍，连头发也洗了。要是她在浴室待得太久，她爸爸或妈妈就会砰砰地敲门催她快点。她赶紧抓了条浴巾，把身子擦干。

After her shower, Sandy brushed her hair, put on her old, green T-shirt and some jeans. Then she put on her makeup and went to the kitchen. As usual, she didn’t know what to have for breakfast, so she grabbed a glass of milk and ate a piece of toast while standing by the sink. Just then, her mother, Jane, entered the kitchen.淋浴后，桑迪梳了梳头发，穿上一件旧的绿色圆领衫和一条牛仔裤，肩头上披了件毛衣。接着她画上妆，然后抓起书本走进厨房。

她又看了看表；很晚了。和往常一样，她不知道早餐该吃什么，便抓了杯牛奶，站在洗菜池旁吃了一块烤面包。就在此时，她妈妈简走进了厨房。

“Sandy, why don’t you sit down and eat your breakfast? It isn’t healthy to eat standing up.”

“I know mom, but I don’t have time to sit down and eat.”

“Did you finish your homework, dear?”

Yes

Did you brush your teeth?

Mom I haven’t finished eating breakfast yet. I’ll brush my teeth when I’m done.

Sandy, why are you wearing that old T-shirt? It’s disgusting.

Mom, please stop.

Stop what, dear?

Stop bugging me.

Sandy, are you wearing eyeliner?

Yes, Mom, I’ve been wearing eyeliner for months. Isn’t it pretty?

Sandy Finch, you’re too young to wear that much makeup."桑迪，你怎么不坐下吃饭？站着吃对身体不好。"

"我知道，妈妈，可我上学快迟到了，没时间坐着吃。"

"昨天做作业了吧，宝贝？"

"做了。"

"带乐器了吧？"

"嗯哼。"

"午餐也带了？"

"带啦。"

"刷过牙了？"

"妈，我还没吃完饭呢。吃完了再刷。"

"你该起来后就刷牙，吃完早饭后再刷次牙。桑迪呀，你怎么穿起那件旧圆领衫了？恶心死了。我知道你壁柜里还有几件好看的衬衫。"

"妈，请别这样。"

"别怎么样？"

"别这样烦我。"

"桑迪，你怎么描起眼线来了？"

"我是描了，妈妈。我都描了几个月了。难道不漂亮？这可是法国紫蓝眼线。我就是喜欢它。"她妈妈有点生气，可桑迪装着没看见。

"桑迪·芬奇，你还太小，还不能化这么浓的妆。

Mom, I’m fifteen. I’m old enough to wear makeup. Believe me, all the girls at school wear makeup. Some have tattoos and pierced ears, and noses and tongues, too. Mom, I don’t have time to talk about this now—I’m late, I’ve to go. See you later. Sandy kissed her mother quickly on the cheek, picked up her books, and bolted out of the house.妈，我都15岁了，到了可以化妆的年龄了。给您说实话吧，学校的女孩子都化妆，有些还纹身，还在耳朵、鼻子、舌头上穿洞呢。妈，我现在没时间给您说，我快迟到了，得走了。再见。" 桑迪匆匆吻了一下她妈妈的脸颊，拿起书冲出了屋子。

After sandy had left for school, Jane Finch sat down in peace and quite to drink her coffee. Soon her husband joined her.

Would you like some coffee Steve? asked Jane.

No, thanks, honey. My stomach feels upset—like it’s full of knots. It’s probably that awful music

that wakes me up every morning. I don’t think I’m old-fashioned, but hearing those tuneless,

offensive lyrics repeatedly make my blood boil.

You know, honey, different music appeals to different generations, reasoned Jane. Remember

some of the music we listened to?

Steve smiled. You’re right. Maybe eating breakfast will help me get rid of some of knots in my

stomach.桑迪离家上学后，简·芬奇平静地坐下来喝咖啡。她一口一口慢慢地啜着，一面又试

着去看报纸。没过一会儿，她丈夫走了进来。

"史蒂夫，来杯咖啡吧？"简问道。

"不，谢谢，亲爱的。我胃不舒服，心乱如麻。可能是因为那讨厌的音乐每天早上把我吵醒。

我想我还不至于老得落伍吧，可没完没了地听那毫无韵律、令人讨厌的歌曲实在让我生气。它

们毫无寓意。我不相信桑迪会真喜欢这种音乐。"

"你知道，亲爱的，不同年龄的人喜欢不同的的音乐，" 简劝说道。"还记得我们听过的一些

音乐吗？"

史蒂夫笑了。"你说得有道理。也许，吃吃早饭能消除我心头的烦恼。"

Did you notice how much makeup our fifteen-year-old daughter was wearing this morning? I

can’t believe I didn’t notice. I suppose we should feel lucky because makeup is our biggest

problem with her. I’ve seen other teenagers walking around town with tattoos and piercing all

over their bodies.你注意到了吗，今天早晨我们那15岁的女儿都化了什么样的妆？我问她时，

她说她描眼线已几个月了。我真不敢相信自己一直没有注意到。我想我们应该感到幸运，因为

我们与女儿之间的最大问题还只是化妆。我看到其他青少年在镇上到处游手好闲，还纹身，浑

身穿了许多洞，在眉毛上、在鼻子上、到处都穿。

What worries me, said Steve, is that music could have a negative influence on Sandy. I don’t know

what’s happening to our little girl. She’s changing and I am concerned about her. Makeup, terrible

music—who knows what will be next? We need to have a talk with her. The news is full of stories

about teenagers in trouble whose parents hardly know anything about their problems.

Oh, I don’t think her music is so terrible. But in any case, you’re right. We need to have a talk with

Sandy, said Jane.

As Jane Finch drove to work, she thought about her Sandy. She knew what she wanted to say,

what she had to say to Sandy. She was so glad that she and Sandy could still talk things over. She

knew she had to have patience and keep the lines of communication with her daughter open.

She wanted to be there as an anchor for her, but at the sam e tim e she would give her freedom to find her own identity.简知道自己想说什么，得对桑迪说什么。她和桑迪之间还可以进行交流，这令她很高兴。她知道自己得有耐心，得保持自己和桑迪之间沟通的渠道畅通。她想在桑迪的身边，做她的保护人，同时又给她以寻找自我价值的自由。

A good heart to learn on可依赖的“好心”

More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance 我没有完全意识到，正是父亲帮助我保持心理平衡

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.还在我未成年时，如果有人看到我和父亲在一块儿，我就觉得很难堪。他腿瘸得十分厉害，个子又矮。我们在一起走路时，他的手搭在我的臂上以保持平衡，人们就会盯着看。对于这种讨厌的注视，我打心眼里感到别扭。如果他注意到这些或感到不安，他从不表露出来。

It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we stared out, he always, “you set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”我们的步伐难以协调一致--他常常停下脚步，而我的步子却显得不耐烦--正因如此, 我们一路很少说话。但每次出门时，他总说："你按你的步速走，我跟着你。"

Our usual walk was to or from the subway on which he traveled to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride.我们通常就在地铁口和家门口之间来回, 那是他上班的路线。他生病或气候恶劣时也坚持上班，几乎从不缺勤。他总是准点到办公室，尽管别人做不到。这是可以引以为荣的事。

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s wagon with steel runners to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free of ice. In Manhattan the subway station was in the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.当路上覆盖冰雪时，即使有人搀扶，他也难以行走。这种时候，姐妹们或我就用一辆儿童雪橇拉着他穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道到地铁站口。一到那儿，他就紧抓着地铁通道口的扶手一直往下走，因为地铁内空气暖和,下面几级台阶没有冰雪。曼哈顿的地铁站正是他们办公楼的地下室, 他不用出站。下班回家时，我们会去布鲁克林的地铁站口接他。

When I think of it now, I am amazed at how much courage it must have taken for grown man to subject himself to such shame and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.现在回想起来，我感到十分惊叹。像他那么一个成年人，得有多大的勇气才能经受这样的屈辱和压力，而当时他却显得毫无痛苦和怨言。

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.他从不说自己可怜，也从不表现出对那些比他幸运或健康的人的羡慕。他从别人那儿寻找的是一颗"好心"。一旦找到了，那人在他心目中就是个大好人。

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper stand by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know I don’t have one myself.现在我长大成人了，我开始相信这正是判断一个人的恰如其分的标准，虽然我还没有确切理解什么是"好心"。但我知道有时候我自己没有拥有一颗"好心"。

Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager, he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.虽说很多活动父亲都不

能参加，但他还是试着通过某种方式去参与。当地一个棒球队缺少一个经理时，是他使球队正常运转。他是一个见多识广的棒球迷，常常带着我到埃贝茨球场观看布鲁克林道奇队队员的比赛。他喜欢参加各种舞会和聚会，虽然在那儿他只能坐着观看，却也可享受一番乐趣。

On one occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving. He wasn’t content to sit and watch, but he couldn’t stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, “I’ll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I’ll fight anyone who will sit d own with me!”记得在一个沙滩聚会上，发生了一场殴斗，人人都挥拳上阵，相互推撞。他不满足只是坐着观看。然而在松软的沙地上如果没人帮助，他又站不起来。于是在极度无助中，他高声喊道："谁愿意坐下来和我对打！谁愿意坐下来和我对打！

Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive before the fight began.没有人坐下来和他对打。第二天，人们对他开玩笑，说是第一次听到在人们还没有打起来前，竟会有人要求他们收手。"

I now know he participated in some things through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to i t that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.如今我知道他是通过我，他惟一的儿子，间接地参与了一些事情。我打球时（球技很糟），他也在"打"；后来我加入了海军，他也"加入"了。我休假回家时，他一定要让我去参观他的办公室。在介绍我时，他实际上在说："这是我儿子，但也是我。如果我没瘸，我也会和他一样。"这些话他从没说出声过。

He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.如今父亲已去世多年，但我时常想起他。不知他当时是否留意在我们同行时，我不愿意被人看到。若他确实注意到了, 那我真惭愧当时没能对他说我是多么对不起他，我是个多么不孝的儿子，我是多么后悔。而现在，每当我因一些琐事而怨天尤人的时候，每当我嫉妒别人运气比我好的时候，每当我没有一颗"好心"的时候，我就会想起他。

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “you set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.” 每逢此时，我就设想我将手搭在他的臂上，重新找回我自己的平衡，我会说："你按你的步速走，我跟着你。"

新视野大学英语第一册课文翻译 Unit 1 1学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 2我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 3到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 4好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 5直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 6网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 7我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 8学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。 Unit 3 1在我还未成年时，如果有人看到我和父亲在一块儿，我就会觉得难堪。他腿瘸得很厉害，个子又矮。我们一起走路时，他的手搭在我臂上以保持平衡，人们就会盯着看。对于这种讨厌的注视，我打心眼里感到别扭。即使父亲注意到这些或感到不安，他也从不表露出来。 2我们的步伐难以协调一致——他常常停下脚步，而我的步子却显得不耐烦。正因为如此，我们一路很少说话。但每次出门时，他总说：“你按你的步速走，我跟着你。” 3我们通常就在地铁口和家门口之间来回，那是他上班的路线。他生病或天气恶劣时也坚持上班，几乎从不缺勤。他总是准点到办公室，即使别人做不到。这是件可以引以为荣的事。4当路上覆盖冰雪时，即使有人搀扶，他也难以行走。这种时候，我或者我的姐妹们就用一辆带有钢轮的儿童推车拉着他穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道到地铁站口。一到那儿，他就紧抓着地铁口的扶手一直往下走，因为地铁内比较暖和，下面几级台阶没有冰雪。曼哈顿的地铁站直通他们办公楼的地下室，他不用出站（就可到办公室）。下班回家时，我们会去布鲁克林

第一单元 The Doctrine of the Mean is the core ofConfucianism. The so-called “mean” by Confuciusdoesn’t mean “compromise” but a “moderate”and “just-right” way when understanding andhandling objective things. Confucius advocatedthat this thought should not only be treated as away to understand and deal with things but alsobe integrated into one’s daily conduct to makeit a virtue through self-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core ofConfucianism but also an important componentof traditional Chinese culture.

Unit1奔向更加光明的未来 1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里，我们承诺 将使你们学有所成。 2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。” “等一等 , ”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。” 在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。 3 让我来告诉你们, 一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你 们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过 去扎实的基础上的。 4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着 去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获 这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能 体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世 界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 6 在大学里，一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里，住在你 隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌，令你头痛欲裂！你可能喜欢早起，而你的室友 却是个夜猫子！尽管如此，你和你的室友仍然可能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心，不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训，从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以，带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情，勇敢向前去拥抱这些新的体验吧！ 7 我们相信，你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信，当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时，你们很快就会认识到，大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会，同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过：“教育代代相传，它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者，也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识，并把知识传递给你们，而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识？你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好？你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来？ 8 我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会，也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们！

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译原文及答案 Unit 1 原文： Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals (基础) of modern Western philosophy. He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato.Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology (认识论) and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed.Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructed no philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect (宗派). 翻译： 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物，人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域做出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 原文： 孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家学派（Confucianism）的创始人，被尊称为古代的“圣人”（sage）。 他的言论和生平活动记录在《论语》（The Analects）一书中。《论语》是中国古代文化的经典著作，对后来历代的思想家、文学家、政治家产生了很大影响。不研究《论语》，就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。在21世纪的今天，孔子的学说不仅受到中国人的重视，而且也越来越受到整个国际社会的重视。 翻译： Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient "sage". His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years' traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius' thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. Unit 2 原文：

新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译 Unit 1 The Way to Success 课文A Never, ever give up! 永不言弃！ As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!" 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生，要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地，他总算从哈罗毕业了，在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来，他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气，为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心，不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。 在他首相任期即将结束时，他应邀前往母校哈罗公学，为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说：“年轻的先生们，当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲，他提出的任何中肯的建议，你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5 英尺5 英寸高，体重却有107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话：“年轻人，要永不放弃。永不放弃！永不放弃！永不，永不，永不，永不！” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships,
