Step Three: Start to teach the text para. by para. Help students understand the text and explain language points meanwhile.

Questions about Para. 1

(1) What was the young man in our story getting ready to do?

(2) What did he want from his father as a gift for him?

(3) Could his father afford it?

Notes of Para 1:

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. 一个年轻人即将从大学毕业。get ready to do sth.: to get prepared to do sth. 准备好做某事

该词组在本句中用进行时态，表示“正准备”的意思，意指通过了所有课程，完成了学业。

e.g. (1) We’d better get ready to leave. 我们最好准备出发吧。

(2) The children are getting ready to go to school. 孩子们正准备去学校。graduate:vi. to complete education at a school or a university 毕业

e.g. (1) He graduated from Beijing University in 1998. 他1998年毕业于北京大学。

(2) When did you graduate from Oxford? 你什么时候从牛津大学毕业的？graduate还可以作可数名词，意为“a person who has completed a university degree（大学）毕业生，研究生”

K nowing his father… could well afford it:为现在分词短语作状语，表示原因，相当于Beca use he knew his father… could well afford it。现在分词knowing后是个宾语从句his father…could well afford it. 宾语从句中主语为his father，a faithful Christian是主语his father的同位语，who owned a prosperous business是定语从句，修饰名词Christian。

e.g. Not knowing what to do, he phoned the police.（因为）不知道该怎么办，他给警察打

了电话。

a faithful Christian…:作father的同位语。

faithful: a. having and keeping faith in one person, idea, belief, etc. 忠诚的，忠实的；如实的

e.g. (1) One cannot be too faithful to one’s duty.对自己的职责无论怎样忠诚也不为过。

(2) It is a faithful report. 这是一个如实的报告。

faithful 的词根为名词faith，意为“feeling sure that you can trust someone or something 信任，信心；信仰”。

e.g. (1) Have you any faith in what he says? 你相信他说的话吗？

(2) Do you have faith in Tim? 你相信蒂姆吗？

(3) Christians have faith in God. 基督教徒信仰上帝。

afford: vt. to be able to buy or pay for 买得起，负担得起

e.g. (1) This sofa is expensive. I am afraid that I can’t afford it.这张沙发很贵，我恐怕买

不起。

(2) Can we afford a holiday abroad this year? 今年我们负担得起出国度假吗？afford 作动词的另一个常用意思为“to provide, to give 提供，给予”。

e.g. The tree afforded us a shelter from the rain. 这棵树为我们提供了避雨的地方。

宾语从句that was all he wanted作为told的直接宾语，前面省略了宾语从句的连接代词that，而句中的指示代词that指的是汽车。all 后面省略定语从句关系代词that，本句的完整形式应为(that) that was all (that) he wanted。

Questions about Para. 2

(4) What did his father hand him on the morning of his graduation?

(5) What did he find in it?

(6) How did he feel as he saw the gift?

(7) What did he do then?

Notes of Para 2:

approach:vi./vt. to come near or nearer 靠近，接近

e.g. (1) As summer approached, the weather became hotter. 随着夏天的临近，天气变得热

些了。

(2) Silently the cat approached the rat. 猫静悄悄地逼近老鼠。

approach还可用作名词，意为“movement nearer to sb./sth. in distance or time; a way of dealing with sb./sth. 接近；途径，入门；方式，方法”。注意，名词approach后常跟介词to。

e.g. (1) The enemy ran away at our approach. 当我们靠近时，敌人逃走了。

(2) We must think of some new approaches to teaching languages. 我们必须想出一

些教授语言的新方式。

await:vt. to wait for（人）等候，期待，（事件等）等待（处理）

e.g. (1) I am awaiting your reply. 我正在等你的答复。

(2) He is in prison awaiting trial. 他在狱中等待审判。

注意：本词为及物动词，后面直接跟宾语。此外，await比wait for更为正式。purchase:vt. to buy买，购买

e.g. (1) She purchased a new car last month. 她上个月买了一辆新车。

(2) He purchased the house at a high price. 他以高价购买了那套房子。

purchase作名词时，意为“an article that has been bought 购买的物品”。

e.g. Please put my purchases on the truck. 请把我买的东西放到卡车上。

that his father had purchased the car: that引导同位语从句，修饰signs。

Curious, but somewhat disappointed:为形容词短语，在句中作伴随状语，具有副词的功能。

e.g. Helpless, we watched the house being burned before our eyes. 我们绝望地看着房子

在眼前烧毁。

curious:a. eager to know or learn 好奇的

e.g. (1) When I mentioned his name, everyone was very curious. 当我提到他的名字时，大

家都很好奇。

(2) I feel nothing than curious. 我只不过好奇而已。

curious后面常跟介词about，表示“对……感到好奇”。

angry and depressed也是形容词作状语的语法现象，表示原因。

e.g. Overjoyed, he rushed out of the room. 他欣喜若狂地冲出了房间。

depressed:a. low in spirits 抑郁的，沮丧的，意志消沉的

e.g. (1) She was depressed because of failing in the final exam. 她因期末考试不及格而沮

丧。

(2) You look depressed. 你看上去很抑郁。

depressed派生自及物动词depress。depress意为“to make someone feel sad and dull; to make less active 使沮丧，使消沉；按下，降低”。

e.g. (1) This grey weather depresses me. 这种阴沉的天气使我感到没精神。

(2) Some medicines depress the action of the heart. 有些药物会减弱心脏的功能。

storm:vi. to go with violent anger 气呼呼地疾走，闯，冲

e.g. (1) She stormed out of the room. 她气呼呼地冲出了房间。

(2) Why did the man storm out of the manager’s office? 那个男子为什么气呼呼地冲

出了经理办公室？

storm 也常作名词使用，意思为“暴风雨”。

storm一词的运用，充分体现了儿子当年少不更事、浮躁的心态，也为后文儿子得知事情真相后的懊悔埋下伏笔。

leaving the Bible: 为现在分词短语作结果状语

Question About Para. 3

(8) Did the young man come back to see his father after this incident?

(9) Did the young man miss his father while he was away? Why or why not?

(10) How did he learn that his father had passed away?

Notes of Para 3:

domestic:a. of the home or family; remaining much at home; fond of home; not foreign;

native; of one’s own country 家（庭）的，家用的；国内的，本国的；驯养的

e.g. (1) He had a good many domestic troubles. 他有许多家庭纠纷缠身。

(2) He is a very domestic man. 他是个十分顾家的男人。

lead的过去式和过去分词均为led。

lead a…life: to pass or spend your life in a certain way 过（活）；使过（某种生活）

e.g. (1) They lead an active life. 他们过着积极活跃的生活。

(2) The old man led a happy life. 那个老人过着愉快的生活。

telling him his father had passed away:为现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰telegram，相当于一个定语从句——he received a telegram that told him his father had passed away。

e.g. He lived in a room facing (=that faced) the south. 他住在一间朝南的房间里。

从句his father had passed away作tell的直接宾语，前面省略了连接代词that。pass away: to die 去世

这是die的委婉说法。

e.g. (1) She passed away at the age of 70. 她70岁去世的。

(2) His grandmother passed away last week. 上周他祖母过世了。

will:vt. to leave (possession or money) in a will 将（财产等）遗赠

e.g. (1) My father willed his house to me. 我父亲立遗嘱把他的房子留给了我。

(2) He willed most of his money to his nephew. 他把大部分的钱遗赠给了他的侄子。will 作名词，意为“遗嘱，决心”等。

possession:n. [C][常pl.] something that you own or have; property财产，私人物品

e.g. (1) He lost all his possessions in the fire. 他所有的财物都在火灾中遗失了。

(2) He is a man of great possessions. 他是个富人。

当该词用于词组in possession of 时，意思为“拥有，占有，持有”。

e.g. He was found in possession of dangerous drugs. 他被发现持有危险药品。

注意：在上例中，possession作不可数名词。

possession 的词根是动词possess，意为“to have or own (something), or to have (a particular quality) 占有，拥有”。

e.g. (1) Those countries possess nuclear weapons. 那些国家拥有核武器。

(2) She possesses the unusual talent of speech. 她有非同一般的演讲天赋。

Question about Para. 4

(11) How did he feel when he arrived at his father’s house?

(12) What did he see when he searched through his father’s important papers?

(13) What happened when he began to turn the pages of the Bible?

Notes of Para 4:

regret: n. [U] feeling of sadness at the loss of something 遗憾，懊悔，抱歉

e.g. (1) The manager expressed his regret at the failure of the talks. 经理对谈判失败表示

遗憾。

(2) I hear with regret that a friend is ill. 听说一个朋友病了，我感到很遗憾。regret作及物动词时，意为“to feel sorry for 遗憾，懊悔，抱歉”。

e.g. I regret that I will be unable to come to your party tomorrow. 很遗憾明天不能参加你

们的聚会。

注意：regretful 和regrettable都是派生自regret的形容词，都有“遗憾的，惋惜的”

之意，但词义有差异。regretful的意思是“遗憾的、惋惜的”，一般描述某个人。regrettable 的意思是“令人悔恨的、使人惋惜的”，一般描述某件事，主语多为人。下面例句中regretful和regrettable同时出现，以便区别。

e.g. He made a regrettable mistake some time ago and still feels regretful now. 不久之前

他犯了一个令人遗憾的错误，现在他心里仍然感到懊悔。

who had the sports car he had desired:who 引导的定语从句修饰dealer。he had desired 作为定语从句修饰car，前面省略关系代词that 或者which。

desire:vt. to wish, want, or hope for, very much 渴望，想望，要求

e.g. (1) Young people all desire independence. 年轻人都渴望独立。

(2) What do you desire me to do? 你要求我做什么？

desire作名词时，意为“a strong hope or wish 愿望，欲望，要求”。

e.g. He has not much desire for wealth. 他对财富没多大欲望。

Question About The Whole Text

(14) What moral can we learn from the story about life?

Notes of Paras 5-6:

How many times do we miss the Spirit’s blessings and answers to our prayers because they do not arrive exactly as we have expected? 有多少次我们错过了神的祝福和神对我们祷告的回应，只因它们没有按照我们想象的方式到来？

Spirit: n. [U] God 圣灵，神，上帝

e.g. (1) Don’t miss the Spirit’s blessings. 不要错过神的祝福。

(2) The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are referred to as Trinity in the Christian religion.

在基督教中，圣父、圣子、圣灵被称为“三位一体”（圣父、圣子及圣灵合为

上帝）。

注意：spirit表示课文中的意思时，其首字母“s”要大写。

spirit的首写字母不大写时，用作通常意义：“the part of a person that includes their mind, feelings and character rather than their body 精神，心灵；勇气，志气；[pl.]情绪，心情；

酒精，烈酒”。

e.g. (1) We have the power of spirit to overcome difficulties. 我们有克服困难的精神力

TODAY’S affirmation:“Today I look beyond the obvious and allow miracles to be created in my life.”今天的誓言是：“今天，我的眼光超越事物的表象，让生命创造奇迹。”

这句话的本意是说，今天我懂得了一个人生道理，那就是，宝贵的东西往往隐藏在平淡的事物之中，即，miracles in life are beyond the obvious。

常用搭配为allow sb. to do sth.。

allow作动词的另一个意思是“to provide or give 允给”，常用于allow sb. sth.的结构中。

常用词组allow for的意思为“考虑到，把……考虑进来”。

2. Period Three and Period Four:

●Step One: Review the whole text.

●Step Two: Proceed to Exercises. First, do Exercise I. 2. In doing Exercise I. 2,

group discussion in class is encouraged. The discussion and Exercises I. 1 and I. 2 will take up one period.

●Step Three: Continue with Exercises II,III, IV and V.

Continue with the rest of the exercises which are designed on three levels: the vocabulary level, the sentence level and the discourse level. In this period it is expected that Exercises II,III, IV and V can be finished.

Exercise II is relatively easy and thus suitable for those students with a relatively

low level of English proficiency. Exercise III is for more advanced students.

Exercise IV is focused on both the vocabulary and the sentence structure in the model passage, and Exercise V on the sentence structure only.

3. Period Five and Period Six:

●Step One: Review the whole text.

●Step Two: On the basis of the revision of the text, proceed to Exercise VI. This

exercise is a comprehensive exercise, involving both the students’ comprehension

and production skills.

●Step Three: Focus on Listening and Speaking which will take up the second period.

In dealing with Listening and Speaking, direct the students to the language function

of expressing one’s gratitude.

4. Period Seven and Period Eight:

●Step One: Proceed to Focus 2, practical reading.

After the students have finished reading, do Exercise I to check their understanding of the text. Then go over language points for further understanding and after that do Exercise II. Step one may need 60 minutes.

Language points:

1.Crying is a “weakness”characteristic of the female and no American male wants to be identified with anything in the least weak or womanly. 哭是女性的“软弱”特征，没有哪个美国男人愿意和软弱或娘娘腔沾边，哪怕一点点也不愿意。

identify: to cause or consider (someone) to be connected with (something) 认为……等同于；认出，鉴定

e.g. (1) Crying is often identified with weakness. 哭泣经常被等同于脆弱。

(2) She has identified the person who attacked the old woman. 她已经认出袭击那位

老妇人的人。

be identified with: to be closely connected with sb./sth.; to support sb./sth. 与……有密切联系，支持

e.g.He is closely identified with the new political party. 他和新政党有密切关系。

in the least: (usu. in negative) at all 一点，丝毫，极少

一般用于否定句，用来强调否定语气。

e.g. (1) He is not in the least worried. 他一点儿也不担心。

(2) He was not in the least surprised. 他一点也不吃惊。

2. Crying, in our culture, is identified with childishness, with weakness and dependence.在我们的文化中，哭等同于幼稚、软弱和不能自立。

is identified with: 在本句中，该词组可理解为“considered equal to 认为……等同于……”更为妥当。

e.g.Don’t identify opinions with facts. 不要把意见等同于事实。

3. No one likes a crybaby, and we disapprove of crying even in children, discouraging it in

them as early as possible. 没人喜欢爱哭鼻子的人，即使是孩子，我们也不赞成他们哭，而是尽早地鼓励他们不要哭。

disapprove: vi./vt. (of) to have an unfavorable opinion 不赞成，不同意

该词为approve的反义词，在approve前加否定前缀dis-构成。既可作及物动词，也可以作不及物动词。作不及物动词时，后面需跟介词of，然后才能接宾语。

e.g. (1) He disapproves of women smoking. 他反对女人吸烟。

(2) They disapproved strongly of my proposal. 他们强烈反对我的建议。discourage:vt. to take away courage and spirit from 使泄气，使灰心

该词由courage 加否定前缀dis-构成。

e.g. (1) Don’t let one failure discourage you. 不要因为一次失败就泄气。

(2) It discouraged me that I failed again in the French exam. 法语考试又一次不及格，

我感到十分灰心。

4. In a land so devoted to the pursuit of happiness as ours... 在我们这样一个热衷于追求快

乐的国家里……

devoted: a. showing great fondness or loyalty; caring a great deal 挚爱的，忠诚的，全心全意的

e.g. (1) He is devoted to music. 他热爱音乐。

(2) He is devoted to helping others. 他热衷于帮助别人。

devoted 派生自动词devote。该动词常用于词组devote…to，意思是“to give all or a large part of time or resource to将……奉献（给），把……专用于”。

e.g. We shouldn’t devote any more time to this question.在这个问题上我们不该再多花

时间了。

5. Adults must learn not to cry in situations in which it is permissible for a child to cry.在允许孩子哭的场合，成年人必须学会不哭。

in which it is permissible for a child to cry: 本句为介词+关系代词引导的定语从句。

注意：介词后面的关系代词要用which。

6. Women being the “weaker” and “dependent” sex, it is only natural that they should cry in certain emotional situations. 女性由于是“比较软弱”和“依赖性强”的性别，在某些动情的场合哭泣是很自然的事。

Women being the “weaker” and “dependent” sex: 为主语+分词短语表示原因的独立成分。该句可以理解为：Because women are the “weaker” and “dependent” sex。在书面语中，如果分词的主语不同于句子的主语，可以在分词短语前面另加一个逻辑主语。

e.g. John having run a red light, the police arrested him. 约翰由于闯红灯被警察逮捕了。dependent: a. needing sb./sth. in order to survive or be successful 依靠的，依赖的

e.g. (1) I can’t be dependent on my parents all my life. 我不可能一辈子靠父母生活。

(2) They have a dependent child. 他们有一个还未自立的孩子。

7. So goes the American credo with regard to crying. 这就是美国人对于哭的信条。

副词so代替前面的内容，即In women, crying is excusable. But in men, crying is a mark of

weakness. 此外，so放在句首使整个句子倒装。

8. “A little man,” we impress on our male children, “never cries...”我们让男孩们牢记：“小

男子汉从来不哭……”

impress:vt. to make the importance (of sth.) clear to (sb.) 给……深刻的印象，使铭记；印，压印

impress常用的结构有：impress sth. on sb.，impress sb. with sth.。

e.g. (1) My father impressed on me the value of hard work. 我父亲让我牢记努力工作的

重要性。

(2) The village impressed me with its beauty. 这个村庄的美给我留下了深刻的印象。

(3) His words are strongly impressed on my memory. 他的话深深印刻在我的心头。10. It is not that American males are unable to cry because of some biological clock within

them that causes them to run down in that capacity as they grow older, but that they are trained not to cry. 美国男人不会哭，并不是因为随着年龄的增长，体内的某个生物钟使他们逐渐丧失了哭的能力，而是因为他们被训练得不会哭了。

run down: to gradually stop working, decline （使）停止运转，（使）衰退；减少；撞倒

e.g. (1) The battery has run down; it needs recharging. 电池快要用光了，需要重新充电。

(2) The company is running down its sales force. 公司正在削减销售人员。

11. Thus do we produce a trained incapacity in the American male to cry. 就这样美国男人被

训练得不会哭了。

thus: 放在句首时，本句成为倒装句，用助动词do放在主语we前表示主谓语序倒装。

12. The human species is the only one in the whole living nature that cries tears. 人是整个

生物界中唯一会流泪哭泣的物种。

that cries tears:是定语从句，修饰one。当先行词的前面有only时，定语从句不可以用which引导，而必须用that引导。

e.g. Football is the only game that I enjoy. 足球是我唯一喜欢的运动。

Step Two: Writing a Thank-you Letter. This can be assigned as homework after explaining the basic elements of writing a thank-you letter.

Reference answer:

Dear Xiao Ming,

I’m now back to Shanghai. In this letter I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to you for the wonderful vacation I spent with you in Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is such a beautiful city. We visited so many pretty places and among them I was particularly impressed by the lovely scenery by the West Lake.

I do hope one day you can pay a visit to Shanghai so that I can have an opportunity to pay back your friendship.

Thank you again and keep in touch.

Yours sincerely,

Li Jun

实用英语翻译教案(1)

实用英语翻译教案 授课专业：商务英语 授课班级： 11商英（1）、（2）、（3） 授课时间：2012年9月-11月 教师姓名：马越

第一讲翻译概述（2课时） Brief Introduction to the English-Chinese Translation 本讲要点 主要介绍翻译的定义、目的、种类、标准、过程以及翻译者的合格条件的一般知识。 一、翻译的定义、目的和种类(The Definition and Purpose of Translation and Its Kinds) 1．翻译的定义(Definition of Translation) 翻译是一种语言活动。涉及两种语言与各种知识，它用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思想内容、感情、风格等忠实地重新表现出来的语言实践活动。这一活动有时在不同国

籍的不同语言之间进行，有时在同一国籍的不同民族或不同区域的语言之间进行，但这种实践活动更多地应用于前者。这一活动进行得好坏也就决定了翻译质量的高低。 同时，翻译被认为是一门艺术，是语言艺术的再创作。一篇译文在定稿之前，一般都要经过许多次修改，才能达到较高的水准。一部名著经常会有数种译本并存。一个译本的反复修改，同一原著的各有千秋的不同译本，都体现了翻译的艺术性。 如果把写作比成自由舞蹈，翻译就是戴着手铐脚镣在跳舞，而且还要跳得优美。因为原著的创作不受语言形式的限制，而翻译既要考虑到对原文的忠实，又要按照译文的语言规则来表达原文的思想。从这个意义上来讲，翻译并不比创作容易，有时甚至更难。难度越大，其艺术性也就越高。应该说，翻译是一门永无止境的艺术。 Question: What is translation? Translation is an activity of reproducing in one language the ideas, feelings and styles, etc. which have been expressed in another language. 2．翻译的目的(Purpose of Translation) 利用语言这一工具使不同语言的人们能够进行信息交流，这就是翻译的目的。翻译（这里指汉英和英汉翻译）作为一门课程，其目的就是在掌握汉语和英语两种语言的基础上，结合不断的翻译实践，学习翻译中的各种技巧，提高翻译水平。翻译是较高层次的一门课程，其主要对象为英汉两种语言都达到了相当水平的学生。通过翻译，对已经掌握的听说读写的能力可以进行依次全方位的检验，找出漏洞，弥补不足，并使这些能力在综合运用中得到巩固和提高。学习英语的主要目标是搞翻译，而翻译又可以反过来进一步促进英语学习。这是翻译的一种特殊作用。 3．翻译的种类( Kinds of Translation) 从不同角度出发可以对翻译作出以下分类： 1）从出发语和归宿语/目标语角度看，翻译可分为：本族语译为外语，外语译为本族语；(From the source language and the target language, we have translation from native language into foreign language and in turn from foreign language into native language.) 2）从翻译的形式和手段来看，翻译可分为：口译、笔译和机译；(From the translation form or means, we have oral translation, written translation and mechanical translation.) （后者是现代智能科学和现代对比语言学相结合的产物，可望在某些领域代替人工翻译。） 3）从翻译的内容来看，翻译可分为：文学翻译、政治翻译、科技翻译和实用文体翻译等等; (As far as the contents of translation, we have translation of literature, politics and editorials,
