1.DAY OF TERROR

Originally published: 9/12/2001

The morning coffee was still cooling when our grandest illusion was shattered.Within minutes,

one of New York's mightiest symbols was a smoldering mess and the n ation's image of

invincibility was made a lie.

恐怖的一日

最初发表于2001年9月12日

早晨的咖啡还没有凉，我们最宏伟的幻想却已被粉碎。在数分钟时间内，纽约最显赫的象征之一成了一堆余烟未尽的废墟，而这个国家不可战胜的形象也成了一个谎言。

2.As the World Trade Center crumpled and the streets filled with s creams and scenes of

unimaginable horror, choking smoke blotted out the sun and plunged lo wer Manhattan into

darkness.

当世界贸易中心倒塌、街道上到处都有人哭叫、充满难以想象的恐怖场景时，令人窒息的烟雾遮住了太阳，使曼哈顿下城区陷入了一片黑暗。

3. Those not entombed by the bomb-blasted buildings ran and ran —just as they did eight years

earlier, when another terror attack shook this mighty symbol of Ameri ca's power.

那些炸毁的大楼内未被掩埋的人跑啊跑——就像八年前另一次恐怖袭击震撼了这个美国力量的显赫标志一样。

4.For the rest of the country, there was another shock to digest —

a second kamikaze attack. This

time on the Pentagon.

对于美国其他地方的人们，还有另一次震惊需要承受——第二次自杀性袭击，这次是对准五角大楼的。

5. More horror. More chaos.More amazement that the mighty United Stat es could be so vulnerable to terror.

更多的恐怖，更大的混乱，更多的不可思议：强大的美国居然如此不堪恐怖分子一击。

6. But on the streets of lower Manhattan there was no time for f inger-pointing. No time for talk of revenge. People were dying. Cops and firefighters were dying with them.

但是在曼哈顿下城区街道上，人们此刻没有时间责难和怪罪，没有时间谈报复。人们在死去，警察和消防队员也随着一起在死去。

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/be8902241.html,mentators called the attack a second Pearl Harbor, until now o ur most tragic hour.

Politicians denounced the likely culprits in Afghanistan. And before d usk, there were inaccurate

reports that an angry America was raining revenge on Kabul.

新闻评论员称这次袭击是第二次珍珠港事件，该事件时至今日一直是我们最悲惨的时刻。政治家们谴责藏在阿富汗的可能的罪魁祸首。天暗之前，已有不太准确的报道，称愤怒的美国正对喀布尔采取连续不断的报复行动。

8.One day we will think back on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, a nd remember in crystal detail

what we were doing when the first plane crashed into the north towe r at 8:45 a.m.

总有一天我们会回顾2001年9月11日的早晨，并清晰地记起上午八点四十五分第一架飞机撞击（世界贸易中心）北塔时我们在干什么。

9.And we will be amazed that we didn't think it possible before.

我们会感到惊奇，在此之前我们居然认为这不可能。

10. THE DAY AFTER

Originally published: 9/13/2001

When the sun rose yesterday, someone joked that the city was missing its two front teeth. But

there was nothing to laugh about in the aftermath of our generation' s Pearl Harbor.

一天以后

最初发表于2001年9月13日

昨天早上太阳升起的时候，有人开玩笑说纽约城少了两颗大门牙。然而，在我们这一代人的珍珠港事件发生之后，已没有什么可笑的事了

11.There was only wreckage and smoke and fire where the World Trad

e Center used to be.

Thousands remained buried under tons of rubble.

过去矗立着世界贸易中心的地方，现在只有废墟、烟雾和火焰。数千人被埋在了重重的瓦砾之下。

12. A handful of people were plucked from the wreckage in lower Man hattan, living reminders

that miracles do happen.

从曼哈顿下城区的废墟中拽出了几个人，这活生生的事例再次告诉我们，奇迹确实会发生。

13.But for those digging through the debris, every passing hour sap ped their strength and their

hopes of finding more victims alive.

但是对在瓦砾中挖掘的人们而言，逝去的每一小时都消耗着他们的力量，销蚀他们发现更多生还者的希望。

14.The rest of New York resembled a Third World capital after a p articularly explosive coup.

纽约的其他区域像是经历了一场特别猛烈的政变之后的一个第三世界国家的首都。

15.Armed National Guardsmen in helmets and camouflage rumbled through Manhattan in

convoys. The few people on the normally bustling streets watched them and only sometimes

waved.

全副武装、头戴钢盔、身着迷彩服的国民警卫队员的车队隆隆地驶过曼哈顿。往常熙熙攘攘的街道上只有少数几个人，他们看着国民警卫队员们开过去，有时也挥挥手。

16. New Yorkers waited at newsstands for the morning papers to arriv

e while anxious

relatives gathered at streetside morgues holding pictures of the disap peared.

纽约市民在报摊边等着早报到来，焦急的亲属们聚集在路边停放尸体地方的周围，手里举着失踪者的照片

17.In Washington, where the kamikaze terrorists severely damaged the nerve center of American military power, politicians beat war drums as our allies pledged solidarity and registered their

disgust.

在华盛顿，恐怖主义敢死队严重破坏了美国军事力量的神经中枢，政治家们擂起了战鼓，我们的盟国保证与我们团结一致，表达了他们对恐怖行为的深恶痛绝。

18."This was not an act of terror," President Bush said. "This was an act of war."

“这不是一次恐怖行为，”布什总统说。“这是战争行为。

19.Investigators pointed fingers at the likely culprit in Afghanistan and began rounding up the

suicide bombers' suspected accomplices. The faces of the fanatics bega n to emerge.

调查人员指责藏在阿富汗的可能的罪魁祸首，并开始围捕那些制造自杀性爆炸者的可能的同谋。这些狂热分子的面孔开始显露。

20.They had jolted America with their surprise attack. But now —as after Pearl Harbor more

than half a century before —it was our turn.

他们以其突然袭击震惊了美国。但是现在，就像半个多世纪前珍珠港事件之后一样，该轮到我们行动了。

21. And the world waited to see what America would do.

世界翘首以待，看着美国会采取什么行动。

22.LOOKING BACK IN PAIN & HOPE

Originally published: 9/8/2002

Long before the Boeings brought down the towers, poet Percy Bysshe S

helley wrote "grief returns with the revolving year." So it is with New York.

在痛苦和希望中回顾

最初发表于2002年9月8日

早在那两架波音飞机撞倒双子塔之前很久，诗人珀西?比希?雪莱就写道“悲伤一年一轮回”。纽约也是这样。

23.The time it took the Earth to circle the sun was time enough

to clear the wreckage, but not

enough to fade the memory of what happened there.

地球绕太阳旋转一周的时间，足以清除废墟残骸，但是不足以磨灭对那里发生过的事情的记忆。

24.It was time enough to bury the bodies that could be found, but not enough to truly mourn the

thousands who perished.

一年的时间足以埋葬我们能够找到的尸体，却不足以真正哀悼数千名死者。

25.It was time enough to plan memorials, but not enough to fill t he gaping wound in lower

Manhattan.

一年的时间足以筹划纪念活动，却不足以填补曼哈顿下城区豁裂的伤口。

26. For what is a year but a thin sliver of history, a beat of

a hummingbird's wing?

因为一年的时间，不就是历史薄薄的一页，蜂鸟振翅拍打的一瞬间吗？

27. And yet, in the space of 12 months, the wounded city rose from its knees, angry America

smote the Taliban and sent Osama Bin Laden into hiding.

但是，在十二个月的时间内，受伤的纽约市站起来了，愤怒的美国狠狠地打击了塔利班，逼得乌萨马?本?拉丹只好躲藏起来。

28. A new generation of firefighters and cops tried to fill the sho es of those who were lost, a new

generation of orphans faced a future uncertain.

新一代的消防队员和警察前仆后继接替了死者的岗位，新一代的孤儿面对着未卜的前途。29.New Yorkers talked tough and carried on, but with far less swag ger and far less joy. They

remained haunted by what they had lived through, what they had seen.

纽约人谈吐的口气依然强硬，依然一如既往地生活，但是却少了许多洋洋自得和欢乐的成分。他们依然摆脱不了所经历和目睹的事情的阴影。

30.How could they not? Ground Zero is just a subway ride away. Ev eryone, it seems, knows

someone who did not come home Sept. 11. Everyone, it seems, was tou ched by the tragedy.

他们怎能不这样呢？零点地就在地铁一程之外。似乎每个人都认识一个在9/11那天离家未归的人，似乎每个人都被这场悲剧所触动。

31.There were indelible images that captured the carnage like flies

in amber —the planes

crashing, the towers on fire, the falling men and women frozen in f

light as they leaped to their

deaths.

这次残杀的景象，就像琥珀中的苍蝇，永远不能磨灭——飞机的撞击、双塔起火燃烧、向死亡深渊纵身跳去的男男女女刹那间定格空中一动不动的景象，历历在目。

32.Now the calendar commands us to revisit Sept. 11. Now the calen dar commands us to

remember the dead. Now the calendar commands us to pick at a scab that has just begun to heal. 现在日历翻到了我们必须重温9/11的日子。现在日历要求我们纪念死者。现在日历要求我们触及刚开始愈合的伤疤。

33.But the calendar does not say how many more times the Earth ha s to revolve around the sun

before it stops hurting.

但是日历没有表明，地球还要围着太阳转多少圈，伤疤的疼痛才会消失。

34. ONE YEAR LATER

Originally published: 9/12/2002

On a day that broke as blue and beautiful as the morning a year a go when the planes toppled the towers, a brisk northwest wind kicked up the dust of Ground Zero. .

一年之后

最初发表于2002年9月12日

与一年前飞机撞倒双塔的那个早上一样，这一天早上天空湛蓝、阳光明媚，强劲的西北风吹起了零点

35.It coated the red roses that children carried into The Pit.

尘土覆盖在孩子们拿到大土坑的红玫瑰上。

36.It stung the eyes and clung to the tears of the brokenhearted who came to say farewell. .

尘土刺痛了前来送别的伤心欲绝的人们的双眼，粘在他们的泪水中。

37. It swirled like dervishes across the vast emptiness where the Wo rld Trade Center once stood. 尘土像伊斯兰教的托钵僧一样，在曾经耸立世界贸易中心的空荡荡的地方飞舞盘旋。

38. Some of the mourners divined in the dust the ghosts of those t hey lost, and they opened their mouths and breathed it in.

有些哀悼者虔诚地认为尘土中有他们逝去的亲人的阴魂，于是他们张开嘴，把尘土吸进。39.Some of the mourners saw in the dust visions from that deadly day when the very ground was on fire and the powder and smoke cake d the living and the dead.

有些哀悼者在尘土中看到了那个致命的日子的景象：大火就在这块土地上燃烧，灰尘和烟雾落在活人和死人身上积结成块。

40. Some of the mourners who never got a body to bury gathered han dfuls of the brown dust and

placed it in plastic bags to save and remember, to always remember.

有些始终未能找到尸体掩埋的哀悼者将一把把褐色的尘土装入塑料袋留作纪念，留作永久的纪念。

41. We will not revisit Sept. 11 the same way again.

我们再不会用同样的方法回顾9/11。

42.The ranks of the 24,000 who followed the bagpipers and drummer s down the ramp and into

the emptiness yesterday will thin.

昨天跟着风笛手和鼓手走下匝道、进入空地的那两万四千人的队伍，今后将日渐稀落。43.Fewer Americans will stop in their tracks at 8:46 a.m. and regi ster the moment when the first

hijacked plane crashed into the north tower.

不再会有那么多美国人在早上八点四十六分停下来，纪念那第一架被劫持的飞机撞进北塔的时刻。

44.Fewer candles will be lit. Fewer flags will be waved. Fewer s peeches will be made. Fewer

songs will be sung. Fewer tears will be shed, at least publicly.

不再会点燃那么多的蜡烛。不再会挥舞那么多的旗帜。不再会发表那么多的演说。不再会唱那么多的歌。不再会流那么多泪，至少在众人面前不会流那么多泪。

45.Instead, something new will fill the void where the towers stood . Something new will be built on the spot as a memorial to the 2, 801 who died. Something new will rise on the sacred 16 acres to sp ite the madmen who dared attack us.

相反，将有新的建筑物填补曾经矗立着双塔的空地，新的建筑物将在那里建起，作为两千八百零一名死者的纪念碑。新的建筑物将矗立在那神圣的十六英亩的土地上，让那些敢于向我们发起进攻的疯子见鬼去。

46. Poet Jean de La Fontaine wrote, "on the wings of time grief fl ies away."

诗人让?德?拉封丹写道“悲伤乘着时间的翅膀而远去”。

47. But the memory, like the dust, will linger.

但是记忆，就像那尘土，将不会很快消失。

综合英语(一)课文及翻译

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪，最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译：时间真是不好对付，既难以控制好，又很容易浪费掉，当你向前看时，你觉得你的时间用不完。例如，在一个学期的开始，你或许觉得你有许多时间，但到学期快要结束时，你会突然发现时间快用光了，你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完，这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢？控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译：时间是危险的，如果你控制不了时间，时间就会控制你，如果你不能让时间为你服务，它就会起反作用。所以，你必须成为时间的主人，而不是它的奴仆，作为刚入学的大学生，妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译：时间是珍贵的，浪费时间是个坏习惯，这就像毒品一样，你越浪费时间，就越容易继续浪费下去，如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会，你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译：抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间，不要把事情推到明天或是下周，在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

大学英语Unit 1 课文翻译

学外语 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。 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。 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。 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。 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。 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。 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。 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。

新职业英语·职业综合英语课文翻译 第一课谷歌 上过互联网的人都见过谷歌，许多人要在互联网上查找某方面的信息时，他们都会去“谷歌”一下。作为全世界最有名的互联网搜索引擎，谷歌是网络业界功成名就的最好范例之一。 谷歌始于1996年1月斯坦福大学博士生拉里?佩奇的一个研究项目。为了找到一种能帮助网络用户搜索到相关网页的更好方法，佩奇设想可以通过检索网页之间的关系来实现。他认为其他网页链接最多的那些网页一定是最受欢迎的，这项技术结果看起来是成功的。 佩奇和他的合作伙伴谢尔盖?布林于1998年9月7日创建了自己的公司，并在之后的一周注册了https://www.sodocs.net/doc/be8902241.html,这一网址。这个搜索引擎很快声名鹊起，2000年谷歌开始在自己的网站出售广告。在投资者的热情资助下，经过几年的发展，谷歌上市了，谷歌的很多雇员一夜之间成了百万富翁。 谷歌最近收购了互联网最大的视频共享网站https://www.sodocs.net/doc/be8902241.html,，而且每天都在不断增加一些新功能，如工具栏、邮件和广告。当然，成长与成功也带来了竞争。微软最近就试图收购雅虎以便能在互联网搜索引擎领域与谷歌抗衡。 随着公司的壮大与知名度的提高，谷歌在美国公司就业吸引力的排名也上升到第一。他们尝试打破传统的办公室设计，努力把办公室变成员工感觉舒适、并能充分发挥自己才华的地方。 现在，谷歌已拥有YouTube、Blogger和其他一些热门网站，并且成为网络广告收入方面的领头羊。当初两个学生的一个小点子已发展成为一家拥有十亿美元资产的大公司，谷歌也成为全球最著名的商标之一。谷歌的发展史为当今的网络企业家树立了一个完美的典范，也提供了灵感。 第二课秘书 秘书可能会有很多其他不同的头衔，例如行政助理、文员或私人助理。尽管所有这些头衔都以行政工作为主旨，但它们却反映了不同种类的秘书工作。秘书岗位十分古老，例如，古希腊和罗马的商人和政客们就曾雇用私人秘书和文员来管理他们的事务。 秘书的工作就是使办公室顺利运转。秘书的职责范围很广，依据他们所在办公室的不同而各异。就最低要求来说，秘书要处理信函，跟踪日程安排，管理文件系统，操作电话、传真机、复印机等办公设备。许多秘书还要接听电话，并将其转给适当的人员。有些秘书还要负责办公室用品的采购，他们也可能会处理预算、簿记和人事文档。秘书应当具备使用电脑和其他电子设备的经验，因为他们将处理大量的电子资料，包括往来信函。

新编大学英语（第二版）第一册阅读文参考译文 Unit One 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。如果不立即采取行动，显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要相配血型的血。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。 5 这位医生会讲一点越南语，忽视会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。

Unit 7 The Joy of Travel新编大学英语第二版第三册课文翻译

Unit 7 The Joy of Travel Transformative Travel Twenty-five years ago I felt like a wreck. Although I was just 23, my life already seemed over. The future appeared as much like a wasteland as the emptiness I could see while looking back to the past. I felt lost, without choices, without hope. I was stuck in a job I hated and trapped in an engagement with a woman I didn't love. At the time, both commitments seemed like a good idea, but I suppose it was the fantasy of being a successful, married businessman that appealed to me far more than the reality. I decided to take a class just for the entertainment value. It happened to be an introductory counseling course, one that involved personal sharing in the group. We were challenged to make commitments publicly about things we would like to change in our lives, and in a moment of pure impulsiveness, I declared that by the next class meeting I was going to quit my job and end my engagement. A few days later I found myself unemployed and unattached, excited by the freedom, yet terrified about what to do next. I needed some kind of transition from my old life to a new one, a sort of ritual that would help me to transform myself from one person into another. So I did something just as impulsive as my previous actions: I booked a trip for a week in Aruba. In spite of what others might have thought, I was not running away from something but to something. I wanted a clean break, and I knew I needed to get away from my usual environment and influences so as to think clearly about where I was headed. Once settled into my room on the little island of Aruba, I began my process of self-change. I really could have been anywhere as long as nobody could reach me by phone and I had the peace and quiet to think about what I wanted to do. I spent the mornings going for long walks on the beach, the afternoons sitting under my favorite tree, reading books and listening to tapes. Probably most important of all, I forced myself to get out of my room and go to meet people. Ordinarily shy, I now decided that I was someone who was perfectly capable of having a conversation with anyone I chose. Since nobody knew the "real" me, the way I had always been, I felt free to be completely different. It took me almost a year to pay off that trip, but I am convinced that my single week in Aruba was worth three years in therapy.

NUIT1 大学已经不再特别了 有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。但是，20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。 20世纪60年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966年，罗纳德?里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。 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。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。 20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米?亨德里克斯或兰尼?布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。 可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？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）。不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学，但大多数已经有些麻木，还是坚持混到毕业，因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 没有了20世纪60年代大学生所发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛，如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化协会最近做了一项调查，研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时所考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是：课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式，以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段，是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会，上大学本身不再是目的，不再是给你提供一个机会，让你暂时想象一下：你能够改变世界。 童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了，大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能和经济有关。在一个没有保障的世界里，现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户，因为那太昂贵了。另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今，大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友，没问题，我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。

unit 1 TextA Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事 1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后，我和波莉有了第一次约会。那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克，而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的，他一想到这个就受不了，于是他和我达成了一项协议，用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 2 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有，也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 3 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “光彩照人”，她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。 4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。 5 "Logic." “逻辑学。” 6 "Cool," she said over her gum. “好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。 7 "The doctrine of logic," I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。”

Unit 9 Music In-Class Reading Music to Your Gear 参考译文 音乐与开车 安迪·埃利斯 1 尽管音乐能使你胸中的怒气平息，但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明，听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力，而且心理学家也提醒人们，不断地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的，尤其是处于车流中或在高速公路上开车时。 2 音乐有两个极端，任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏会使人莽撞驾驶，而聆听处于另一个极端的优美的、令人舒心的音乐，会使司机过分放松，以至于丧失安全意识，陷入迷迷糊糊的欲睡状态。 3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全，它委托搞了一个项目，研究严重车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现，17至25年龄段的男人是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现，这个群体的人70%的开车时间都在听音乐。 4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响，会使人易怒好斗，开起车来就会冲劲十足，这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。 5 在试验中，给那些自愿参加实验的司机听声音很响的音乐，他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车，但的确发现自己换档更快了，加速也快了，刹车更急了。若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲，他们承认经常感到自己走神，他们在高速公路上长途开车时，至少有两位参试的司机发现自己不知不觉地在跨越车道标记。 6 这些自愿参试的司机（有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照）所发表的意见非常说明问题。十八岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会，“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐真会让人送命的。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。” 7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听ZZ Top乐队最流行的曲子，他说，“我一直在快速行驶，扯着嗓门唱歌，没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。” 8 还有些人说：“我陷入了深思”…… “人的感觉会变得麻木” …… “听不见别的汽车是个问题”，“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。” 9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐，如肖邦的音乐，会刺激人的大脑，使思维模式发生变化，激发阿尔法脑波，使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数情况下对我们有好处，但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利?费希尔教授提醒人们说：“最大的危险是疲劳驾驶。有些音乐会使你无法集中注意力，甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态，那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。” 10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听，但是当交通状况糟糕时，或是交通拥挤时，这种音乐会分散你的注意力。” 11 然而，音乐也有其好的一面，正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特?韦斯特所指出的那样：“如果有些音乐影响我们安全行驶，那么反过来也是有道理的。

Unit 1 Changes in the Way We Live 在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream Life Jim Doherty 有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。如今我同时做着这两件事。作为作家，我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级，作为农场主，我和乡邻也不是同一类人，不过我应付得还行。在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。 这是一种自力更生的生活。我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩余几十个出售。自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动手砍柴，足可供过冬取暖之用。 这也是一种令人满足的生活。夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。我们为落日的余辉而激动。我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。 但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。就在三个月前，气温降

到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。 在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家务，她还照管菜园和蜂房，烘烤面包，将食品装罐、冷藏，开车送孩子学音乐，和他们一起练习，自己还要上风琴课，为我做些研究工作并打字，自己有时也写写文章，还要侍弄花圃，堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。正如老话说的那样，在这种情形之下，坏人不得闲――贤德之人也歇不了。 我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。从12月一直到3月底，我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。暴风雪肆虐，一场接着一场，积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓，而室内，我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖，吃着自家种植的苹果，温馨快乐每一分钟。 开春后，有过两次泛滥。一次是河水外溢，我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。接着一次是生长季节到了，一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来，弄得我们应接不暇。我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆

西蒙顿说，如果事业上取得巨大成就者具有什么共性的话 If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an relenting drive to succeed. “There is an tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal,” he explained. “But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It’s a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremend ous amounts of study, practice and devotion.” He cited Winston Churchill, Britain’s prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into his office when his country’s moral was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired to nation when he said, “We should not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end… We shall never surrender.” 一些人不愿表达感激之情，因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。 Some person refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome. A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse. “I don’t come sooner,” he explained, “because I imagined you must b e bored to death with people thanking you.” “On the contrary,” she replied, “I am delighted you came. Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it.” Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life. 一般西方人解决问题的方法是与之搏斗。 The normal Western approach to a problem is to fight it. The saying, “When the going gets tough, the toug h get going,” is typical of this aggressive attitude toward problem-solving. No matter what the problem is, or the techniques available for solving it, the framework produced by our Western way of thinking is fight.Dr.de Bono calls this vertical thinking; the traditional, sequential, Aristotelian thinking of logic, moving firmly from one step to the next, like toy blocks being built one on top of the other. The flaw is, of course, that if at any point one of the step is not reached, or one of the toy blocks is incorrectly placed, then the whole structure collapse. Impasse is reached, and frustration, tension, feelings of fight take over. Lateral thinking, Dr. de Bono says,is a new technique of thinking about things—a technique that avoids this fight altogether,and solves the problem In an entirely unexpected fashion. 学生的成绩达不到老师的期望是常有的事 When a student's work did not measure up to the teacher's expectations, as often happened, the student was not treated with disappointment, anger, or annoyance. Instead, the teacher assumed that this was an exception, an accident, a bad day, a momentary slip — and the student believed her and felt reassured. The next time around, he tried harder, determined to live up to what the teacher knew he could to. The exact part of communication that tells a child, "I expect the best," is difficult to pinpoint. In part it consists of a level tone showing assurance, a lack of verbal impatience, an absence of negative qualities such as irony, put-downs, and irritation.The teacher who expects the best asks her questions with conviction, knowing the answers she gets will be right, and the child picks up
