半天找不到只好自己打。。觉得要跟大家共享下。。

Unit1

While Hitler decided to launch his invasion of Russia, he thought that nothing could stand in the way of his armies. Conquest, it seemed, was inevitable. He had surprise on his side, catching Stalin off his guard by launching his attack without a declaration of war. Hitler expected the campaign to last only a few months. In the event, it was to drag on for much longer. Like napoleon before him, he had made a fatal mistake in failing to reckon with the severity of the Russian weather. Many German solders were to die from the cold as winter set in, bringing the German advance to a halt.

The offensive had been going on for three days, but we had won no decisive victory. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. In order to carry out the plan, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were worried that we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander determined to take a gamble. We set out under the cover of darkness and pressed on despite great difficulties ahead. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius. As a result,

the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we got to our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle all of a sudden. The enemy, who were caught off guard, soon gave in.

Unit 2

Hello, welcome to your new car. I’m your onboard computer-assisted driving system. It is my job to alert you to any hazards that may occur on the highway. From the moment you start up the car, I’ll be there to help you. When you want to relax, I can take control the steering in your place, guiding you from one lane to another. If a car in front of you slows down suddenly, I’ll decrease your speed. If you get stuck in a traffic jam, the experience will no longer be so monotonous. Just sit back, relax, and let me eliminate the worry. When you want to convert back from automatic control to manual control, that’s easy, just press the right button mounted on the steering column.

Automobiles changed the world during the 20th century particularly in the United States another industrialized nations. They are indeed of great use to us but they have brought some hazards as well such as noise and air pollution and highway fatalities. It is reported that automobile accidents rank among the leading causes of death and injury throughout the world. Fortunately modern innovators are reinventing the automobile. New propulsion systems fuels designs and means of

manufacturing cars have all developed rapidly in the past decade. For ex-ample by using the satellite-aided global positioning system (GPS) a computer in the automobile can locate the vehicle's precise position and with the application of sensors smart cars can eliminate most car accidents.

Unit 3

What is the best way to impress a prospective employer when you go for an interview for a job? As I see it, the best thing is to demonstrate that you have done your homework and know all about the firm. You should make every endeavor, for example, to show that you know something about the structure of the company, including the different lines of business it is involved in. Be enthusiastic, let the interviewer know that you are not frightened by new challenges, but are willing to take a crack at anything. Try to look at the situation from the standpoint of the person offering the opportunity of employment. What sort of qualities is he likely to be looking for? Enthusiasm, certainly. So don't leave your application waiting until just before the deadline. Apply early. Another thing that can make a difference is to follow up your interview with a letter expressing your enthusiasm to join the company.

Well begun is half done as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance

of success.

I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 thousand dollars a year in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success

Unit 4

Is America on the decline? Or do we see in America a new civilization, one that will not follow historical precedent, but will continue to grow and develop? It may be that in America we see for the first time a completely new civilization that does not follow the path of earlier empires. This new society is forging a fresh way of looking at the world, a new mentality. Its essential characteristic is a refusal to be discouraged, a willingness to try again and again rather than just accepting one’s destiny. It is a society based on pluralism, on the mixing of immigrants from different ethnics and culture backgrounds. The resulting combination of cultures gives America its unique vitality.

Professor Huntington's paper greatly inspired me. According to him in a plural / pluralistic society there will inevitably be different opinions. The key is to deal with

them in such a way that they can play a constructive rather than destructive role.

He argues that in a plural/pluralistic society we must stress/attach importance to interpersonal relationships cooperation and looking at issues from the perspective of other people. If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or religions with disrespect the whole society may be paralyzed.

I am convinced that if we put into practice the ideas mentioned above then there is the possibility of creating a new civilization.

Unit 5

You see that young man swimming out at sea? He’s trying to swim out to the beacon and back. He must be insane to have committed himself to such a thing, the current is far too strong. I met him on the beach before he set out. I don’t mind telling you that I was taken back when he told me what he was going to do. I am a swimmer myself, but I wouldn’t attempt it. And he didn’t look in good condition at all. F ar from it. He may have had a good constitution once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces. However, it seems like he had no choice. He told me that he had gone broke, not a penny left, and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim. That was another surprise. Burton seems such a mild mannered man, kind to everybody. Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage, that he would funk it. Then, again, perhaps Burton knew he was

sending the young man to his death, but was too cold-blood to care. It only goes to show how deceptive appearances can be.

For my own part, I should certainly hesitate to hire a clerk on his face/appearance alone. Appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance you might well commit an error in judgment if you went by appearances only with people like Edward Hyde Burton the character created by Maugham. As far as appearance and manners were concerned Burton seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes. Kind gentle and candid he was described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth. Nevertheless he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help. He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely in different to Turner’s death. There’s no doubt that Burton was a cold-blooded man.

大学英语精读第四册课文翻译

Unit 1 一个大学男孩,不清楚赚钱需要付出艰苦的劳动,被一份许诺轻松赚大钱的广告吸引了。男孩们很快就明白,如果事情看起来好得不像真的,那多半确实不是真的。 轻轻松松赚大钱 “你们该看看这个,”我向我们的两个读大学的儿子建议道。“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话,这兴许是一种办法。”我将挂在我们门把手上的、装在一个塑料袋里的几本杂志拿给他们。塑料袋上印着一条信息说,需要招聘人投递这样的袋子,这活儿既轻松又赚钱。(“轻轻松松赚大钱!”)“我不在乎失不失尊严,”大儿子回答说。 “我可以忍受,”他的弟弟附和道。 “看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子,真使我痛心,”我说。 孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。我听了很高兴,便离城出差去了。午夜时分,我已远离家门,在一家旅馆的房间里舒舒服服住了下来。电话铃响了,是妻子打来的。她想知道我这一天过得可好。 “好极了!”我兴高采烈地说。“你过得怎么样?”我问道。 “棒极了!”她大声挖苦道。“真棒!而且这还仅仅是个开始。又一辆卡车刚在门前停下。” “又一辆卡车?” “今晚第三辆了。第一辆运来了四千份蒙哥马利-沃德百货公司的广告;第二辆运来四千份西尔斯-罗伯克百货公司的广告。我不知道这一辆装的啥,但我肯定又是四千份什么的。既然这事是你促成的,我想你或许想了解事情的进展。” 我之所以受到指责,事情原来是这样:由于发生了一起报业工人罢工,通常夹在星期日报纸里的广告插页,必须派人直接投送出去。公司答应给我们的孩子六百美金,任务是将这些广告插页在星期天早晨之前投递到四千户人家去。 “不费吹灰之力!”我们上大学的大儿子嚷道。 “六百块!”他的弟弟应声道,“我们两个钟点就能干完!” “西尔斯和沃德的广告通常都是报纸那么大的四页,”妻子告诉我说,“现在我们门廊上堆着三万二千页广告。就在我们说话的当儿,两个大个子正各抱着一大捆广告走过来。这么多广告,我们可怎么办?” “你让孩子们快干,”我指示说。“他们都是大学生了。他们自己的事得由他们自己去做。” 第二天中午,我回到旅馆,看到一份紧急留言,要我马上给妻子回电话。她的声音高得很不自然,而且有些颤抖。家里又运到了好几卡车的广告插页。“有百货公司的,廉价商店的,杂货店的,食品店的,汽车行的,等等。有些像整本杂志那么厚。我们这里有数十万页,说不定是几百万页的广告!我们家整个房子从东墙到西墙,从南墙到北墙统统堆满了广告,一堆又一堆,比你大儿子还要高。现在只剩下一点点空间,刚够一个人走进去,从十一种插页中各取一份,卷在一起,套上橡皮筋,再塞进一只塑料袋内。我们的塑料袋足够供应全美所有的外卖餐厅!”她越讲声音越响,几乎震耳欲聋。“这么多的广告必须在星期日早晨七点以前统统送出去。”

攻势已经持续了三天,但是我们并没有取得多少进展。我们在前线与敌人交战的部队遇到了强力的抵抗。师长(DIVISION COMMANDER)命令我们营(BATTALION)绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而,要绕到敌人后方,我们必须越过一片沼泽地(MARSHLAND)。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。我们在夜幕掩盖下出发,不顾困难,奋勇向前。幸运的是,夜间温度突然下降到摄氏零下20度,烂泥地都结上了冰。由于这寒冷的天气,我们于天亮前到达并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备,不久便投降了。 The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over.

On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams. 3 Well begun, half done, as the saying goes.

For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.

新视野大学英语第四册课文翻译

新视野大学英语第四册课文翻译 UNIT 1 艺术家追求成名,如同狗自逐其尾,一旦追到手,除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。 成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。 对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家,其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢!”他们的担心不无道理。 追求出人头地,最乐观地说也困难重重,许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒,也是几近精神崩溃。 尽管如此,希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。 享受成功的无上光荣,这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。 成名者之所以成名,大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长,并能形成自己的风格 为了能迅速走红,代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。 他们究竟是怎么成功的,大多数人也都说不上来。 尽管如此,艺术家仍然不能闲下来。 若表演者、画家或作家感到无聊,他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力,也就难以保持公众的注意力。 公众的热情消磨以后,就会去追捧下一个走红的人。 有些艺术家为了不落伍,会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动,但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。 公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。 知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来,如田纳西·威廉斯的戏剧、欧内斯特·海明威的情节安排、罗伯特·弗罗斯特或 T.S.艾略特的诗歌等。 同样,像莫奈、雷诺阿、达利这样的画家,希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。

他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革,这让他们名利双收, 但也让他们付出了代价,那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。 名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。 骗局很快会被揭穿,过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。 它让你失去自我。你必须是公众认可的那个你,而不是真实的你或是可能的你。 艺人,就像政客一样,必须常常说些违心或连自己都不完全相信的话来取悦听众 一滴名气之水有可能玷污人的心灵这一整口井,因此一个艺术家若能保持真我,会格外让人惊叹。 你可能答不上来哪些人没有妥协,却仍然在这场名利的游戏中获胜。 一个例子就是爱尔兰著名作家奥斯卡·王尔德,他在社交行为和性行为方面以我行我素而闻名于世。虽然他的行为遭到公众的反对,却依然故我,他也因此付出了惨痛的代价。 在一次宴会上,他一位密友的母亲当着他的朋友和崇拜者的面,指责他在性方面影响了她的儿子。 他听了她的话以后大为光火,起诉了这个年轻人的母亲,声称她毁了自己的“好”名声。 但是,他真该请一个更好的律师。 结果是,法官不仅不支持他提出的让这个女人赔偿他名声损失费的请求,反而对他本人进行了罚款。 他由于拒交罚款最终还被送进了监狱。更糟糕的是,他再也无法获得更多公众的宠爱。 在最糟糕的时候,他发现没有一个人愿意拿自己的名声冒险来替他说话。 为保持真我,他付出的代价是,在最需要崇拜者时,谁也不理他。 奇怪的是,收获最大的恰恰是失败者。他们收获了自由! 他们可以自由地表达,独辟蹊径,不落窠臼,不用担心失去崇拜者的支持。 失败的艺术家寻求安慰时,可以想想许多伟大的艺术家都是过世多年以后才成名,或是他们没有出卖自己。

The Inland Revenue wan ts to deduct in come tax, the bank man ager wants repayments on my student loan, the Iandlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, ask ing if rm in terested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60. 无论我怎么想保持心情愉快,麻烦事总是接踵而来:有时是跟人争吵(尤其是跟男孩,天哪!他们什么 时候才能长大?),但通常是为钱发愁。这个地方什么东西都很贵!人人 都想从我身上拿点钱去:国税局要收个人所得税,银行经理要我偿清学生贷款,房东催我 交房租、燃气费、水费、电费,手机账单也不断地寄来。所有这些还没算上吃饭的钱。更 可气的是,不知从哪里冒出一个自作聪明的家伙冷不丁地给我打电话,问我要不要买养老金。 照这样下去,我连今年都活不过去了,更别提活到60岁领养老金了。 汉译英 我认为,选修第二专业并不适合每一位本科生。我大学本科主修英语专业,大一时就开始辅修经济学了。无疑,我是班里最用功的学生。我竭尽全力想同时达到两个不同专业的 要求,但还是有不及格的时候。因为经济学需要良好的数学基础,我不得不花大量时间钻 研数学,因而忽略了英语学习。 If you ask me, tak ing a sec ond major isn't good for every un dergraduate. In my freshma n year as an En glish major, I took economics as my minor. By all odds, I was the most hardwork ing stude nt in my class. But try as I might to meet the requireme nts of the two differe nt subjects, I still could n't do well eno ugh to pass all the exams. Given that the study of econo mics required a good comma nd of mathematics, I had to spe nd so much time on math that I n eglected my En glish major. 第二学期,《英国文学》及《宏观经济学》两门课不及格给我敲响了警钟,这可是我一生中第一次考 试不及格,这大大打击了我的自信心。虽然我不是一个容易向命运低头的人, 在暑假结束的时候,我还是决定放弃经济学,以免两个专业都难以完成。当我只需修一个 专业的时候,一切似乎又回到了正轨。(if you ask me; odds; try as …might; sap on e's con fide nee; give n that; bow to fate;come to a close; for fear that; now that) Faili ng En glish Literature and Macroec onomics in the sec ond semester soun ded the alarm for me. This was the first time I did not pass a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my con fide nee. Although I was n ot a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up econo mics for fear that I would fail in both subjects. Now that I had only one subject to attend to,everything seemed to be on the right track again. Uint2 In dubitably the vast majority of books overlap one ano ther. Few in deed are those which give the impressi on of orig in ality, either in style or in content. Rare are the unique books -less tha n 50, perhaps, out of the whole storehouse of literature .In one of his recent auto-biographical no vels, Blaise Cendrars points out that R my de GSurmont, because of his knowledge and awareness of this repetitive quality in books, was able to select and read all that is worthwhile in the entire realm of literature.Cendrars himself —who would suspect it? —is a prodigious reader. He reads most authors.Not only that, but when he likes an author he reads every last book the man has written, as well as his letters and all the books that have been written about him. In our day his case is almost un paralleled, I imagi ne.For, not only has he read widely and deeply, but he has himself written a great many books. All on the side, as it were. For, if he is anything, Cendrars, he is a man of action, an adventurer and explorer,a man who has known how to ——waste II his time
