2. She impresses me, and I feel so ignorant that I shouldn’t even breathe the same air as her.

她给我留下了深刻的印象，我觉得自己太无知了，甚至不配跟她呼吸同样的空气。

3.I don’t know why I have to be introduced to literature but the woman in the admissions office says it’s a requirement even though I’ve read Dostoyevsky and Melville and that’s admirable for someone without a high school education.（?翻译时将be introduced to literature 变成主动语态更通顺。）

我不知道为什么我非得了解文学。可是招生办公室的那位女士说这门课是必修课，即使我读过陀思妥也夫斯基和梅尔维尔的小说也得选，一个没上过高中的人能读这些书的确令人敬佩，但这门课是必修课。

4. I’m in heaven and the first thing to do is buy the required textbooks, cover them with the purple and white NYU book jackets so that people in the subway will look at me admiringly.（?I am in heaven 不能直译成“我上了天堂”，这句话应意译。）

Unit 3

1 When was the last organizational vision statement you saw that included the words “…to develop ourselves into a model environment in which everyone at every level can think for themselves”?

(?注意can 的译法，在上下文中，这个字不指“能”，而是指“可以”。)

“……在我们周围逐渐培育出一个可供人们效仿的环境，使各个层次的人都有独立思考的空间。”你上一次看到包含上述字眼的机构前景展望报告是在什么时候？

2 Had she affirmed our intelligence first and spoken about the joy of thinking for ourselves, had she not fanned our fear of her, we would all have learned even more powerfully what it meant to do our thinking. And we might have been able to think well around her too.

(?抽象词翻译：learned evenmore powerfully 的直译是“更强有力地学到”，不太好懂，最好意译。)

Unit 7

1 As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar.They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled.

小时候，我对那些硬币落在坛子里发出的碰撞声总是很着迷。当坛子几乎还是空着的时候，它们落进去时发出的是欢快的叮当声，等到坛子快要装满的时候，它们的声音便渐渐变成了沉闷的嘭嘭声。

2 My dad was a man of few words, and never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance,and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done.（?注意values 和the most flowery of words 的意思。) 爸爸是一个沉默寡言的人，从来没有对我讲过决心、毅力和信仰等价值观的重要性。但是这个泡菜坛却教给了我这些美德，它的说服力远远胜过了华丽的辞藻。

3 To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins.（?这句话的主体结构是there stood the old pickle jar。）令我感到惊讶的是，那儿放着那个旧泡菜坛，坛底已经铺满了硬币，就好像它从来不曾被拿走过。

综合教程2

1. On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasin gly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passion ate commitment to freedom and justice.

2. Suggested answer:

在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

2. These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but i n spite of it. Of course, it's true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prim e Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics) .Suggested answer:

现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50％的30岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。

3. I never hoped to understand the nature of my generation or how American colleges are changing by going to Lit Theory classes. This is the class where you look cool, a bit sleepy from too many late nights and wearing a T-shirt with some ironic comment such as "Been there, done that and yes, this IS the T-shirt".

Suggested answer:

我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征，或了解美国大学在如何变化。这门课是让你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿，穿着一件T恤衫，上面印着“去过那儿，干过那事儿，对，这就是那件T恤衫”，或诸如此类带有揶揄意味的俏皮话。

4. We're a generation that comes from what has been called the short century(1914–1989), at the end of a century of war and revolution which changed civilizations, overthrew repressi ve governments, and left us with extraordinary opportunities and privilege, more than any generati on before. Suggested answer:

我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪（1914－1989），生于其后期。这个世纪充满了战争和革命，它改变了人类文明，推翻了强权政府，给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权。我们所得到的机会与特权比从前任何一代人都要多。

1. 政府采取的一系列措施不但没有化解矛盾，反倒激起更多的暴力冲突。反对党联合工会发动

了一次大罢工，最终导致政府的垮台。 (give rise to; form an alliance with; launch; bring about) Suggested answer:

2. 如今，大学与现实世界的距离越来越小，学生也变得越来越实际。从前，大学是一个象牙塔，学者追求的是学问本身而不是把学问作为达到目的的手段，但这样的时代已经一去不复返了。(shrink; gone are the days; a means to an end)

Suggested answer:

Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and students are becomin g more and more practical. Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower in which schol ars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end.

3. 我从未指望靠上课来学好这门课。但我确实去听课，因为在课上我能了解这门课的重点，学会如何组织材料、如何推理。(hope; the place where) Suggested answer:

Although I have been trying every means to solve the problem, I cannot work out a satisfactory solu tion. But when I went to the kitchen to get a drink, something clicked and made me realize that the solution might be quite simple.

Unit2

1. Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was fir st used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener's theory was that empat hy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself. Suggested answer:

这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始技术含义，而“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E.B.铁钦纳首次使用。铁钦纳的理论是：同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿，这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。

2. He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can be felt for the general plight o

f another with no sharin

g whatever of what that other person is feeling. Motor mimicry fades from t oddlers' repertoire at around two and a half years, at whic

h point they realize that someone else's p ain is different from their own, and are better able to comfort them. Suggested answer:

他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词；同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的，无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为，那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同，会更有能力安慰别人。

3. I also love the split-second shocked expression on the new people, the hasty smiles and their best imitations of what they think of as their "normal faces". If they do the ritual well enough I turn my head ever so slightly and tuck my hair behind one of my ears, whichever one's closer to them. Suggested answer:

我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出的“正常脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好，我就会微微转过头，把头发掖到离他们较近的那只耳朵后面。

4. "I mostly just read lips because it was easier to pick up than signing, although that's not the only r eason I was staring at your lips," I told him. He laughed. We talked more, and then the host upped t he music volume and dimmed the lights for the "dance floor", and I had to lean in much, much close r to be able to continue reading his lips in the semi-darkness. And read his lips I did.

Suggested answer:

我告诉他说：“我基本上只读唇语，因为这比用手语更容易，但这不是我一直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来，主人放大音乐的音量，调暗“舞池”的灯光；我不得不凑近他，近得多得多，以便能在昏暗中接着读他的唇语。我的确读到了他的唇语。

Translate the sentences into English.

1. 一看见抽屉里的那些老照片，我的眼泪就涌了出来。它们让我想起了我跟爷爷奶奶、爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹一起生活的美好时光。(the moment; well up) Suggested answer:

2. 有个学生踩到地上的一滩水滑倒了。周围的人反应各异，有的关心地走上前去看他是否受伤了、能为他做点什么；有的则站在一边不知所措；有的干脆就不理。(diverge from; approach; confuse over; tune out) Suggested answer:

4. 我上小学二年级的时候，我们班有个同学得到的生日礼物是一辆红色的遥控车。我们大家只有羡慕的份，却不能也去买一辆，因为那种遥控车很贵，而且还是在香港买的，那时候在我们看来香港和纽约一样遥不可及。(could only; as far as) Suggested answer:

When I was a second grader, one of my classmates got a red radio-controlled toy car as a birthday gif t. The rest of us could only admire, but could not imitate, because the car was expensive and was bo ught in Hong Kong, a place which seemed to us as far away as New York at that time.
