一个买了有缺陷的产品的消费者有权拿到退款或求得其他补救方法(remedy)。如果该产品给消费者造成了伤害，消费者有权获得赔偿。但是，有时候制造商或销售商不肯依法办事。他们常常会逃避责任。销售商有可能将责任推给制造商，或反之。在这种情况下，消费者可以起诉要求赔偿。或者，如果要避免诉讼的费用，消费者也可以向消费者协会求助，消费者协会是设立来帮助解决消费者与企业交易中的争端的。
A consumer who has bought a defective product has a right to seek a refund, or other remedies. If the product has caused injury to the consumer, he or she has the right to seek compensation.

When I first started, the sight of customers injected me with a sense of anxiety: would I foul up? But I soon got the hang of it.

韩先生是一位名医的后代。他在青年时代读了很多从父辈那里继承下来的中医药(traditional Chinese medicine)经典著作。为了追求医疗技术的完美，他照搬名医的临床实践，并且避免出现任何差错。他为自己是个传统主义者而骄傲，还在医学期刊上对那些探索新思想新方法的人公开表示不同意见。
然而，近来他意识到，他凡事必求绝对把握的做法事实上减少了他在行医方面取得任何突破的可能性。他现在决心充分利用他的实验室的信息检索系统和极好的设备来探索新思想新技术以复兴传统中医药学。
Mr. Han is a descendant of a famous doctor. In his youth, he read many classical works on traditional Chinese medicine inherited from his ancestors. In pursuit of perfection of his medical skills, he followed closely the clinical practice of eminent doctors and avoided all possibility of mistakes. He prided himself on being a traditionalist and expressed open disagreement in medical journals and periodicals with those engaged in the exploration of new ideas and methods.
Recently, however, he came to realize that his quest for absolute certainty had in fact lessened the probability of making any breakthrough in his practice. He is now determined to make full use of the information retrieval system and the superb facilities of his laboratory to explore new methods and techniques in order to revive traditional Chinese medicine.

行事业很感兴趣。要完成星际旅行，我们得研制出能以一束光的速度旅行的宇宙飞船，但目前还没有任何交通工具能达到这个速度。The Earth is only a mote of dust in the immense Cosmos. Human beings on Earth observed planetary motion afar in outer space from early on and contemplated the likelihood of intelligent life on planets beyond our solar system. They have never ceased their pursuit of knowledge, because they know that knowledge is a prerequisite to survival. However, human beings may have just come of age, while intelligent life on other planets, embedded in the Milky Way or other galaxies, may be far more advanced by comparison. Nowadays a lot of people are interested in the enterprise of inter-planetary travel. To accomplish that, we have to develop spaceships that can travel at the speed of light. But for the moment no vehicle can go as fast as that.

新标准大学英语综合教程1第六单元译文
第六单元（1）购物疗法，还是购物痴迷症？ 琳达从百货商店出来，手里拿着五六个购物袋。她乐得合不拢嘴，就跟《欲望都市》中的女主角卡丽一模一样。只不过她不住在纽约，而是住在英国伦敦。“我一看到喜欢的东西就非买不可，”她说，“把各种颜色的全都买下来，但最让我痴迷的还是鞋子。” 在曼彻斯特的家中，凯特在卧室里存放了24袋衣服，这些衣服的标签还没摘掉。她承认：“我常常穿同一身衣服上班，所以我的同事根本就想不到我在家里还藏着这么多衣服。” 住在伦敦的卡里纳每星期要光顾商场五六次。“递上信用卡的时候，我无比兴奋，”她说。“购物时，那种地位显赫、身价不凡的感觉真是无与伦比。” 那么，她们的行为是购物疗法，还是购物痴迷症？大多数人有时也喜欢购物，但是，如果一个人迷恋购物，不惜负债甚至倾家荡产，那就不是一件好事了。购物痴迷症的征兆是：新鞋不上脚，新衣不开包。 心理学家认为，购物痴迷症是购物成瘾，通过治疗可以得到缓解。它的症状包括逃避现实、行为失控、幻想自由或三者兼而有之。当然，诱惑无处不在，你如果没有时间去商场购物，还可以通过很多其他的办法将购物进行到底，如电视居家购物，商品目录邮购和网上购物。 那么，购物痴迷症会造成什么后果呢？入不敷出、羞愧难当、后悔不迭。 研究表明，购物痴迷症是一个全球性问题，90%的购物狂是女性。据估计，全球共有10%的女性受到这个问题的困扰，平均每人负债8000英镑。购物痴迷症的初发期通常是在女性20出头的时候，那时她们刚刚找到第一份工作，挣到第一笔钱。在随后的几年中，她们的债务渐渐地越积越多。男人也会购物成瘾，不过他们不买衣服，而是买车、买工具和电子产品。 那么我们为什么会如此迷恋购物呢？其中一个原因是，购物看上去是一件充满诱惑而又激动人心的事情。据估计，关注时尚的维多利亚?贝克汉姆每年要花费100，000英镑购物。在《欲望都市》中扮演卡丽的萨拉?杰西卡?帕克坦言，她拥有100双马诺洛·布兰尼克牌的鞋子，每双的价格少则300美元，多则1000美元。在2006年的德国世界杯期间，所谓的WAGs（足球明星的太太和女友们）名声大噪，因为她们其中的六个人竟然在一小时之内就花掉了57，000 英镑买衣服和鞋子。 另一个原因是，很多18至24岁的年轻人通过购物缓解压力。有时候，在孤独、焦虑、愤怒或缺乏关爱等情绪的驱使下，一个典型的购物狂会通过购物来安慰自己，向世人证明“她配得上这些东西。”更深层的原因是，现在人们很容易就能申请到信用卡。在20 世纪70年代之前，买东西都是用现金，而且女性不能以自己的名义借钱。如今，拥有一张信用卡已是平常事，就是负债也没有什么大不了的。而且，刷卡的时候不觉得是在花钱。 那么，如果你认为自己是一个购物狂，你怎么办呢？首先，你要承认自己出了问题，然后找出你如此迷恋购物的原因：是因为你的生活中缺少了什么别的东西吗？是你的人际关系需要关注，还是你的婚姻状况不佳？你的父母是否更看中物质财富，而不是情感？然后，你必须找到其他的能给你带来快乐的活动。最后，如果你确实需要购物，那就先列一个清单，只买你需要的，不要买别的东西。用现金付账，销毁所有的信用卡，只保留一张应急，并将它托给朋友保管。 琳达、凯特和卡里纳并不是特例，像世界各地的许多女人一样，她们的故事有一个幸福的开端，却在绝望中结束。像所有的上瘾者一样，购物成瘾的人需要有足够的耐心才能走完康复之路。 （2）如何与男朋友一起逛商场 你知道逛商场与买东西不是一回事，可你的男朋友却不知道。 女人喜欢逛商场，她们逛商场的方式就像我们过去猎取食物一样。过去，我们喜欢花一

现代大学英语精读第六册 的第四课和第九课课文 原文
Nettles Our farm was small-nine acres. It was small enough for me to have explored every part of it. Each of the trees on the place had an attitude and a presence-the elm looked serene and the oak threatening, the maples friendly, the hawthorn old and crabby. Even the pits on the river flats had their flats had their distinct character. The girls as well as the boys were divided into two sides. Each girl had her own pile of balls and was working for paticular soldiers, and when a soldier fell wounded he would call out a girl’s name, so that she could drag him away and dress his wounds as quickly as possible. I made weapons for Mike, and mine ws the name he called. There was a keen alarm when the cry came, a wire zinging through your whole body, a fanatic feeling of devotion. When Mike was wounded he never opened his eyes. He lay limp and still while I pressed slimy large leaves to his forehead and throat and-pulling out his shirt-to his pale tender stomach, with its sweet and vulnerable belly button. One morning, of course, the job was all finished, the well capped, the pump reinstated, the fresh water marvelled at. And the truck did not come. There were two fewer chairs at the table for the noon meal. Mike and I had barely looked at each other during those meals. He liked to put ketcup on his bread. His father talked to my father, and the talk was mostly about well, accidents, water tables. A serious man. All work, my father said. Yet- he-Mike’s father-ended nearly every speech with a laugh. The laugh had a lonely boom in it, as if he were still down the well. Sunny and I had been friends in Vancouver years before. Our pregnancies had dovetailed, so that we had managed with one set of maternity clothes. In my kitchen or in hers, once a week or so, distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep, we stoked ourselves up on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out on a rampage of talk about our marriages, our personal deficiencies, our interesting and discreditable motives, and our forgone ambitions. We read Jung at the same time and tried to keep track of our dreams. During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman’s mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and “The Cocktail Party”. He had slept in the guest bedroom the night before but tonight he’d moved downstairs to the fold-out sofa in the front room. Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmarking and making up again the bed he had left for me. Lying in those same sheets did not make for a peaceful night. I knew that he wouldn’t come to see, no matter how small the risk was. It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends. And how could he be sure that it was what I wanted? Or that it was what he really wanted? Even I was not sure of it. Up till now, I had always been able to think of myself as a woman who was faithful to the person who she was sleeping with at any given time. My sleep was shallow, my dreams monotonously lustful, with irritating and unpleasant subplots. All night-or at least whenener I woke up-the crickets wre singing outside my windows. At first I thought it was birds. I had lived in cities long enough to have forgotten how crickets can make a perfect waterfall of noise. The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable, but close up there were little openings, the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made. The ground sloped slightly downward, and we could see a bit of the river. The water was steel gray, and lookedto be rolling. Between it and us there was a meadow of weeds, all in bloom-goldenrod, jewelweed with its red-and-yellow bells, and what I thought were flowering nettles with pinkish-
