Unit5

A mother and her son learn more from a moment of defeat than they ever could from a victory. Her example of never giving up gives him courage for the rest of his life.

从失败的一刻中,母亲和儿子收获了他们从成功中不曾收获到的。母亲永不放弃的精神给他此后的人生以很大的勇气。

The Day Mother CriedGerald Moore

Coming home from school that dark winter's day so long ago, I was filled with anticipation. I had a new issue of my favorite sports magazine tucked under my arm, and the house to myself. Dad was at work, my sister was away, and Mother wouldn't be home from her new job for an hour. I bounded up the steps, burst into the living room and flipped on a light.

妈哭的那天

在很久以前一个昏暗的冬天,我放学回家,心中充满了期待。我腋下夹着一期新的我最爱看的体育杂志,再者,家里没有别人打扰我。爸爸在上班,妹妹不在家。妈妈刚找到新工作,还得过一个小时才下班。我跳上台阶,冲进起居室,啪嗒一声打开电灯。

I was shocked into stillness by what I saw.Mother, pulled into a tight ball with her face in her hands, sat at the far end of the couch.She was crying. I had never seen her cry.

我被眼前的景象惊呆了。妈妈双手捂着脸,身子紧缩成一团,坐在长沙发的那一端哭泣着。我看见妈妈哭这还是第一次。

I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. "Mother?" I said. "What's happened?"

我小心翼翼地向她走去,轻轻拍她的肩膀。“妈妈,”我说,“怎么啦?”

She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. "It's nothing, really. Nothing important. Just that I'm going to lose this new job. I can't type fast enough."

妈妈深深吸了一口气,强作微笑。“没什么,真的。没有什么要紧的事。只是我这份新工作要丢了。我字打得不够快。”

"But you've only been there three days," I said. "You'll catch on." I was repeating a line she had spoken to me a hundred times when I was having trouble learning or doing something important to me.

“可你上班才三天,”我说。“你会熟练起来的。”我这是在重复她讲过上百次的一句话,每当我学习或做一件与自己关系重大的事情而遇到困难时,她总是这样跟我说的。

"No," she said sadly. "I always said I could do anything I set my mind to, and I still think I can in most things. But I can't do this."

“不成,”妈妈黯然神伤地说。“过去我总是讲,只要我下决心,什么事都能干成。现在我仍然认为大多数的事我都能做。但打字这件事我干不了。”

I felt helpless and out of place. At age 16 I still assumed Mother could do anything. Some years before, when we sold our ranch and moved to town, Mother had decided to open a day nursery. She had had no training, but that didn't stand in her way. She sent away for correspondence courses in child care, did the lessons and in six months formally qualified herself for the task. It wasn't long before she had a full enrollment and a waiting list. I accepted all this as a perfectly normal instance of Mother's ability.

我感到无能为力,而且十分尴尬。我虽然十六岁了,但仍然以为妈妈什么都能干。几年前,当我们卖掉农场,搬到城里住的时候,妈妈决定开办日托所。她过去没有受过这方面的训练,但这并不能阻碍她。她写信要求参加幼托函授课程,学习了六个月就正式获得从事这项工作的资格。不久她的日托所招生额满,而且还有不少小孩登记等着入托呢。我觉得凭妈妈的能力,办成这一切是理所当然的。

But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college. In two years I would be ready for college. In three more my sister would want to go. Time was running out, and Mother was frantic for ways to save money. It was clear that Dad could do no more than he was

doing already — farming 80 acres in addition to holding a fulltime job.

然而,无论是托儿所或是我父母后来购买的汽车旅馆都不能提供足够的收入供我妹妹和我上大学。两年后就该是我上大学的时候了。再过三年,妹妹也要上了。时间一天天过去,妈妈拼命想办法积蓄钱。很清楚,爸爸已尽了最大努力--除了一份全日工作之外,还耕种了八十英亩地。

A few months after we'd sold the motel, Mother arrived home with a used typewriter.It skipped between certain letters and the keyboard was soft. At dinner that night I pronounced the machine a "piece of junk."

我们卖了汽车旅馆没几个月,妈妈搬回来一台旧打字机。这架打字机有时会跳字,键盘也很松。那天吃晚饭时,我把这台机器说成是“废物一件”。

"That's all we can afford," Mother said. "It's good enough to learn on." And from that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were done, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight.

“我们只买得起这样旧的,”妈妈说。“学打字用是够可以的了。”从那天起,餐桌一收拾,盘子一洗,妈妈马上到她的缝纫间去练习。有几天,那缓慢的嗒、嗒、嗒的声音一直持续到午夜。

It was nearly Christmas when I heard Mother got a job at the radio station. I was not the least bit surprised, or impressed. But she was ecstatic.

临近圣诞节的时候,我听说妈妈在电台找到一份工作。我一点也不惊奇,也不觉得有什么特别,但妈妈却欣喜万分。

Monday, after her first day at work, I could see that the excitement was gone. Mother looked tired and drawn.

I responded by ignoring her.

星期一,妈妈第一天上班回来,我发觉妈妈的高兴劲儿已经烟消云散。妈妈绷着脸,看上去很疲劳,我没对她作任何表示。

Tuesday, Dad made dinner and cleaned the kitchen. Mother stayed in her sewing room, practicing. "Is Mother all right?" I asked Dad.

星期二,爸爸做晚饭,收拾厨房。妈妈呆在缝纫间练习打字。“妈妈还好吗?”我问爸爸。

"She's having a little trouble with her typing," he said. "She needs to practice. I think she'd appreciate it if we all helped out a bit more."

“妈妈打字碰到点困难,”他说,“她需要练习。我想,如果我们在家里多帮一点忙,她会很感激的。”

"I already do a lot," I said, immediately on guard.

“我已经做得不少了,”我马上警觉起来,说道。

"I know you do," Dad said evenly."And you may have to do more. You might just remember that she is working primarily so you can go to college."

“我知道你做得不少,”爸爸心平气和地说。“说不定你还得再多干一点。你要记住,她现在工作主要是为了能供你上大学。”

I honestly didn't care. I wished she would just forget the whole thing.

老实说,上不上大学我并不在乎。我真希望妈妈一点也不要把这事放在心上。

My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears on Wednesday was a perfect index of how little I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand.

星期三,当发现妈妈哭时我所感到的震惊和窘迫,完全表明了我对妈妈所承受的压力是多么的不理解。我坐在她的身旁,慢慢开始理解了。

"I guess we all have to fail sometime," Mother said quietly. I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong emotions that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me turned. I reached out and put my arms around her.

“我想我们都不免有失败的时候,”妈妈平静地说。我可以感觉到她的痛苦,也感觉到她在极力抑制着由于我闯进来而被打断的强烈情感的发泄。突然,我心里一酸,伸开双臂,把妈妈搂在怀里。

She broke then. She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed. I held her close and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could, and that it was enough. In that moment, feeling Mother's back racked with emotion, I understood for the first time her vulnerability. She was still my mother, but she was something more: a person like me, capable of fear and hurt and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I had sought comfort in her arms.

妈妈再也控制不住了。她把脸贴着我的肩膀,抽泣着。我紧紧抱着她,没有说话。我明白我是在做我应该做的和我所能做的,这就够了。妈妈非常激动,我感到她的背在颤抖。就在那一时刻,我第一次明白妈妈也有弱点。她还是我的妈妈,但又不仅如此:她和我一样也是一个普通的人,会害怕,会受到伤害,会遭遇失败。我感觉到她的痛苦,就像我千百次在她怀里寻求安慰时,她感到我的痛苦一样。

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station had offered. "It's a job I can do," she said simply. But the evening practice sessions on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

一周过后,妈妈找到一个卖纺织品的工作,工资只有原先电台的一半。“这是一个我能胜任的工作,”她简单地说道。但在晚上,她继续在那台绿色的旧打字机上练习。那时,每当我在夜晚走过她的房门前,听着她那一刻不停的嗒、嗒的打字声时,我的感情与过去迥然不同了。我深知,在那个房间里进行着的绝不仅仅是一个妇女在学习打字。

When I left for college two years later, Mother had an office job with better pay and more responsibility. I have to believe that in some strange way she learned as much from her moment of defeat as I did, because several years later, when I had finished school and proudly accepted a job as a newspaper reporter, she had already been a journalist with our hometown paper for six months.

两年后我上大学时,妈妈找到一份薪金比原来高但责任也比原来重的办公室工作。使我不得不相信的是,妈妈不可思议地从失败中学到的东西竟与我所学到的一样多。因为几年后,我大学毕业、自豪地受聘担任报纸记者时,她已在我们家乡的报社里当了六个月的记者了。

The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired. It is a memento, but what it recalls for me is not quite what it recalled for Mother. When I'm having trouble with a story and think about giving up or when I start to feel sorry for myself and think things should be easier for me, I roll a piece of paper into that cranky old machine and type, word by painful word, just the way Mother did. What I remember then is not her failure, but her courage, the courage to go ahead.

那台绿色旧打字机现在放在我的办公室里,至今没有修理过。它是一件纪念品。但它所勾起的我的回忆与妈妈的不尽相同。每当我写文章遇到困难想打退堂鼓时,或是自叹不走运时,我就往那台破旧的打字机里卷进一张纸,像妈妈当年一样,一个字一个字地吃力地打着。这时,我回忆起的不是妈妈的失败,而是她的勇气,她那一往无前的勇气。

It's the best memento anyone ever gave me.

这台打字机是我一生中得到的最好的纪念品。

大学英语精读1课文翻译 Unit1 Some Strategies or Learning English 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说 "我对英语感兴趣"是"I'm interested in English",而说"我精于法语"则是"I'm good at French"?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说"获悉消息或秘密"是"learn the news or secret",而"获悉某人的成功或到来"却是"learn of someone's success or arrival"?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3.每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意,然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。 4.抓住机会说。的确,在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读,因为这在任何时间,任何地方,不需要搭档就可以做到。例如,你可以看着图片或身边的物件,试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后,假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家,试着用英语把它表演出来。

伊莱亚斯的故事 我叫伊莱亚斯。我是南非一个穷苦的黑人工人。第一次见到纳尔逊曼德拉的时候,是我一生中非常艰难的时期。当时我才12岁。那是在1952年,曼德拉是我寻求建议的黑人律师。他为黑人提供法律问题上的指导。他对此从不吝惜自己的时间,在这一点上我很感激他。 我需要他的帮助是因为我只受到很少的教育。我六岁开始上学。学校离家有3英里远,我仅仅在那里读了两年。我不得不辍学,因为我的家庭无法支付学费和交通费。我既不会读,也不会写。几经周折,我才在一家金矿找到工作。可是那个时候你想要住在约翰内斯堡就非得要有身份证不可。非常遗憾的是我没有这个证件,因为我不是在那里出生的,我很担心我会不会失业。 有纳尔逊曼德拉帮助的日子是我一生中最快乐的时光。他告诉我要在约翰内斯堡站住脚,应当如何获取证件。我对自己的未来更充满了信心。我永远不会忘记曼德拉多么善良。当他组织了非国大青年联盟时, 我立即加入了这个组织。他说:“过去30年来所出现的许多法律剥夺了我们的权利,阻挡了我们的进步,一直到今天我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。”他说的是真话。当时黑人不能选举或选择他们的领导人。他们不能做自己想做的工作。他们在城里的住宅区都是由白人决定的。他们被打发去居住的城镇之外的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。在那儿没有人能够种庄稼。事实上就像纳尔逊曼德拉所说的: “……我们被置于这样一个境地:我们要么被迫接受低人一等的现实,要么跟政府斗争。我们选择向法律进攻。首先我们以和平的方式来打破法律法规,而当这种方式也得不到允许时……只有到这个时候,我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。”事实上,我并不喜欢暴力……但在1963年的时候,我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的事情,因为如果我被抓住了,可能要做几年牢。但是我乐于帮忙,因为我知道,这有助于实现我们黑人和白人平等的梦想

Section A Spend or save – The student’s dilemma 花钱还是存钱,学生进退维谷 1 你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑,且有被操纵的感觉?我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。政府告诉我们要花钱,否则我们将永远走不出衰退;与此同时,他们又告诉我们,除非我们节省更多的钱,否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。然后,同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。 2 这里还有一个大家熟悉的例子:如果我们不按时支付信用卡账单,我们会收到从信用卡公司发来的类似这样的令人讨厌的催缴账单的电子邮件:不还款是不可接受的。请立即缴付,否则后果自负!之后,一旦还款,我们就会收到一封跟进的电子邮件,语气和蔼可亲,说我们是多么宝贵的客户,并鼓励我们继续花钱。到底哪一个描述是正确的?有麻烦的失败消费者还是宝贵的客户?这两者之间可是天壤之别! 3 自相矛盾的情况还有,我们每天都收到彼此相左的两种信息。一种从“纵容”的角度,让我们“买东西,花钱,现在就得到它。你需要这个!”另外一种,我们可称之为“正直”的信息,它力劝我们:“努力工作,把钱存起来。控制你的欲望,不要买奢侈品,不要垂涎那些你并不真正需要的东西。” 这类信息来源甚多,有学校方面的,有家长方面的,甚至还来自提及传统价值观的政治人物。艰苦创业、忠于家庭、能推迟欲望是美国价值观的核心,它使我们的国家变得强大。 4 但相反的信息,即那些纵容人们不断花钱的广告,无所不在。虽然此类信息有时经过了乔装打扮,但仍随处可见,电视、电影、印刷媒介和路牌、商店,及公共汽车、火车和地铁上,比比皆是。广告侵入了我们的日常生活。我们时时被包围在花钱,花钱,花钱的信息中。最近有人说:“唯一可以逃脱广告的时候是当在床上睡着时!” 5 据计算,普通的美国人到18岁时,会看过60万则广告;到40岁时,看过的广告总数近百万。每个广告都在尽最大努力影响我们形形色色的购买决定——从我们吃的早餐麦片到我们的假期将使用哪条邮轮线路。决不会缺少怎么花钱和买什么东西的广告!现在,我们当然不能确切地记得广告上的产品,但重要的信息已凝聚在我们的意识里:“要满足你的愿望。你应该拥有你想要的。你应该得到最好的。所以,你应该买下它——现在!”一个著名的广告诠释得很完美:“我爱自己。我是自己的好朋友。我做让我感觉舒服的事。我从精美的东西里得到乐趣,并感觉到它们给我的滋养。我过去常想着等一下再买,现在再也不会了。今天,我会购买全新的滑雪装备,看看新型的小巧灵便的轿车,买下那台我一直想要的相机。我今天就要实现我的梦想,不会等到明天。” 6 当我们接受这些相互矛盾但很明确的信息时,会有什么事情发生呢?这种控制我们花钱习惯的宣传活动会造成什么心理和社会上的影响呢?一方面,我们希望买更多的东西,来满足我们的物质欲望。我们中的大多数通过善待自己来得到乐趣。与此同时,我们身体里面有一个微弱的声音与那些正直的信息在共鸣:“当心,要掂量掂量自己的生活,不要让注意力分散。推迟欲望。不要陷入债务。要等待!保留对自己生活的控制权。这会让你更坚强。”

大学英语精读课文翻译 Unit 1 How to Improve Your Study Habits 你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。你在学校的学习成绩还不错,可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。然而实际情况未必如此。你要是想取得更好的分数,也还是能做到的。是的,即使中等智力水平的学生,在不增加学习负担的情况下,也能成为优等生。其诀窍如下:1.仔细安排你的时间。把你每周要完成的任务一一列出来,然后制定一张时间表或时间分配图。先把用于吃饭、睡觉、开会、听课等这样一些非花不可的时间填上,然后再选定合适的固定时间用于学习。一定要留出足够的时间来完成正常的阅读和课外作业。当然,学习不应把作息表上的空余时间全都占去,还得给休息、业余爱好和娱乐活动留出一定的时间,这一点很重要。这张周作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题,但是它会使你比较清楚地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。此外,它还能让你安排好各种活动,既有足够的时间工作,也有足够的时间娱乐。 2.寻找一个合适的地方学习。选定某个地方作为你的“学习区”。这可以是家里或者学校图书馆里的一张书桌或者一把椅子,但它应该是舒适的,而且不该有干扰。在你开始学习时,你应能够全神贯注于你的功课。 3.阅读之前先略读。这就是说,在你仔细阅读一篇文章之前,先把它从头至尾迅速浏览一遍。在预习材料时,你就对它的内容及其结构有了大致的了解。随后在你正式开始阅读时,你就能辨认出不太重要的材料,并且可以略去某些章节不读。略读不仅使你的阅读速度提高一倍,还有助于提高你的理解能力。< 4.充分利用课堂上的时间。上课时注意听讲意味着课后少花力气。要坐在能看得见、听得清的地方。要作笔记来帮助自己记住老师讲课的内容。 5.学习要有规律。课后要及早复习笔记。重温课堂上提到的要点,复习你仍然混淆不清的
